A New Identity & Citizenship

In the next few posts I’ll be taking a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of America from both an occult and a biblical view, including the highly  mythologized Christopher Columbus.

But before I dive into all that I want to start with a seemingly unrelated question:

Christian, do you know who you are?

Until we’re born-in-spirit, no amount of uncovering false history or doctrines ultimately matters. Unless we have a right understanding of our identity in Christ and resulting citizenship we’re fodder to deception (1 Cor 2:14, Eph 4:14). Which is why so much work has been poured into convoluting this simple truth. So I ask again;

Who Are You?

I don’t mean what your career or talents are. I don’t mean your church affiliation or what family you were born into. I mean your deepest, truest self; the part of you that privately talks to God.

I ask because popular preaching would have us believe that a Christian is someone who made an intellectual decision to “follow Jesus,” after which he tries to muster up the self-discipline to sin less. But a Christian is something profoundly more than that; a Christian is someone who he was not before. (Gal 2:20) He is someone who has been born in an entirely new way, made alive in spirit where he had been dead (Eph 2:11). As a result, his very identity is no longer found in his flesh (body/ mind/ soul), but in his newly born spirit that is indwelt with the Holy Spirit of God. Through the miracle of regeneration in Christ, the Christian is literally a different species, complete with a new Citizenship in the hidden spiritual Kingdom of heaven. (2 Cor 5:17, Col 3:3)

If that’s true, and scripture is clear that it is, then why is the church tracking right along with the world, embracing its principles as though this was still our home? How did we get here… and more importantly, how do we find our way back?

Those questions and others are what I’ve been asking throughout this series. I’ve learned that the steps that brought us to this place can be traced right back to the Revivalists, actually even farther back than the esteemed theologians of the Reformation whose doctrines are held in blind esteem by people who fall into one of two groups:

1. Those fooled by a manmade “gospel” of works – hence they believe they are Christians but they aren’t spirit-born. (1 Jn 2:19)
2. Those who may be spirit-born but have been kept biblically illiterate through false teachings. (2 Pet 3:16, 2 Pet 1:8)

Lacking the Holy Spirit, the first group is void of discernment and powerless against the deceptiveness of the Earthly Power of Heathendom (Rev 13:3). The second group may actually be spirit-born but rather than being trained to properly study their Bibles they parrot the teachings of “superiorly studied” men. As such they are vulnerable and their effectiveness limited. I spent many years in the second group.

None of this is by chance, and it’s not because people aren’t working hard enough at their salvation. In fact, gaining or maintaining salvation through “works” is one of the great lies. (Rom 10:3) This is all by sinister, methodical design. And I’m sure it’s why the world is exponentially sinking deeper and deeper into darkness in recent years.

Light and Darkness

Jesus said that we are the light of the world (Matt 5:16). When a light goes out, darkness fills the room.

Speaking of the final fall of Babylon, the Revelation states,

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (Rev 18:23)

Funny thing about light. As the true light is going out in the world, technology (and the NAR) are telling us that the future is brighter than ever. The confusion lies in which “light” we’re talking about. Grand Master Freemason Albert Pike says it is Lucifer who bears the light.

“Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, for traditions are full of sensual or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!” – Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, p. 321

The Bible warns us that there is a false light, and that light is Satan.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Cor 11:13-14)

What a verse for “The Enlightenment.”

The true light is Jesus.

I am the light of the world. (Jn 8:12)

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matt 6:23)

The Source of Secret Society “Wisdom”

OK, with that context, let’s begin by re-visiting how the Mystery School teachings that re-emerged in Europe through the unlikely source of Islam and sparked the Enlightenment . Their dual nature (exoteric/esoteric) resulted in Secret Societies arising in Europe. These included the Knights Templar and the Rosicrucians (Society of Unknown Philosophers / Hidden College – 1610). This is well known among occultists* (*first so-called during the renaissance btw). For instance, 33rd Degree Freemason Manly P. Hall writes of this,

“Elaborate myths guard the true source of the teachings of Europe’s occult fraternities, but they all point to the Muslim lands of North Africa and the East…” – Manly P. Hall and the Mysteries

Occult scholar and linguist Joscelyn Godwin echoes Hall’s claim,

“The initiatic journey to Islamic soil has been a repeated theme of European esotericism, ever since the Templars settled in Jerusalem and the mythical Christian Rosenkreuz learnt his trade in “Damcar” (Damascus). …” – Joscelyn Godwin

In the 18th century, the Rosicrucians openly claimed Arabian sources for their secret wisdom and were fully aware of its ancient origins. From the website Alpheus.org;

“According to M. P. Hall, a Rosicrucian myth tells how young “Christian Rosenkreuz” journeyed to “the mystic Arabian city of Damcar” in search of lost knowledge.

‘C.R.C. [the mythical Christian Rosie Cross] was but sixteen years of age when he arrived at Damcar. He was received as one who had been long expected, a comrade and a friend in philosophy, and was instructed in the secrets of the Arabian adepts… After studying three years in Damcar, C.R.C. departed for the [Moorish] city of Fez, where Arabian magicians declared further information would be given him…’ – M. P. Hall, Rosicrucian and Masonic Origins

The Rosicrucians …  counted among their number… Sir Francis Bacon… Bacon is held to be one of the founders of Western science and philosophy…

The [Rosicrucian House of Wisdom] at Cairo became the model of all the [Freemasonic] Lodges created in Christendom… [“in Christendom?”] 🤔

[T]he source of the “wisdom” of the Muslims were the GREEK PHILOSOPHERS, whose “wisdom,” according to Hall, came from the ancient civilizations of India, Sumeria and Egypt.

‘The magnificent institutions of Hindu, Chaldean (Sumerian), and Egyptian learning must he recognized as the actual source of Greek wisdom… Thales, Pythagoras, and Plato in their philosophic wanderings contacted many distant cults and brought back the lore of Egypt and the inscrutable Orient…

From North Africa the Fatimid rulers despatched missionaries (dais) throughout the known world. Under cover they even infiltrated Christian Europe.

Accomplished in the esoteric doctrine, THE DAIS COULD USE ANY OUTER FORM – be it artistic, scientific, religious or secular – to impart universal and perennial truths…‘” – Manly P. Hall and the Mysteries – Alpheus.org

Secret Societies Aspiration: The Philosophic Empire

The Philosophic Empire / World Democracy

Whether Atlantis was a place or an ideal, the Mystery Schools have aspired to return to the (Democratic) antediluvian world order since the flood. Hall Refers to this ideal as a great “Philosophic Empire” and  the “building” of it as “the Great Work.”

“World Democracy was the secret dream of the great classical philosophers. Toward the accomplishment of this greatest of all human ends they outlined programs of education, religion, and social conduct directed to the ultimate achievement of a practical and universal brotherhood. And in order to accomplish their purposes more effectively, these ancient scholars bound themselves with certain mystic ties into a broad confraternity. – Manly P Hall, The Secret Destiny of America

Which brings our attention to America

America

Christians have been led to believe that America was once a Christian nation, founded by Christians. Many pastors are declaring that the United States has drifted from its “roots” and that if we repent and “turn back” we can “save America.”

Well, for starters, what these pastors are espousing is not the gospel but a false doctrine called “Nationalism,” one of many doctrines which could easily be corrected with a right understanding of the Christian’s identity and citizenship. Because, scripturally, it is WE; individual believers who are the Holy Nation under the New Covenant.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (2 Pet. 2:9)

America’s Symbols

Even a casual look at this country’s iconic architecture, the symbols on its currency and corporate logos reveals that the men behind the creation of America had a very different vision than what we’ve been taught.

American children are taught that the colonists were Christians who came to the New World to escape religious persecution. But in reality, “freedom of religion” in America is a cloak for esoteric groups to practice the Ancient Pagan Mystery Religions without fear of persecution. Awfully, that includes the Mystery School infiltration of Christianity.

Well, I’m not here to convince you. All I can do is show you some of the evidence, much of it in occultist’s own words. Here is what Manly P. Hall wrote about America’s symbolism.

“By preserved symbols we can know that it is from the remote past, from the deep shadows of the medieval world, as well as from the early struggles of more modern times, that the power of American democracy has come…

Is the American eagle actually a Phoenix ? Selection of the fabulous bird of the ancients seems to have been the intention of the designer of our nation’s Great Seal. The Phoenix is the symbol of the Reborn in wisdom…

The design on the reverse of the Great Seal is even more definitely related to the Order of the Quest. The pyramid and the all-seeing eye represent the Universal House surmounted by the radiant emblem of the Great Architect of the Universe…

There is a legend that in the lost Atlantis stood a great university in which originated most of the arts and sciences of the present race. The University was in the form of an immense pyramid with many galleries and corridors, and on the top was an observatory for the study of the stars. This temple to the sciences in the old Atlantis is shadowed forth in the seal of the new Atlantis. Was it the society of the unknown philosophers who scaled the new nation with the eternal emblems, that all the nations might know the purpose for which the new country had been founded?…” – Manly P. Hall, America’s Secret Destiny

Was it indeed…

…and of Democracy

“For more than three thousand years, secret societies have labored to create the background of knowledge necessary to the establishment of an Enlightened Democracy among the nations of the world…

The rise of American Democracy was necessary to a world program. At the appointed hour, the freedom of man was publicly declared… – Manly P. Hall, America’s Secret Destiny

Hall’s writings are like a road map of the powerful occult activity going on behind the scenes. You have to wonder why he would expose the hidden things in such detail – and the simple answer is that occultists want it exposed in our time. That’s a topic in itself, but, even though Hall’s America’s Secret Destiny was published over 70 years ago, most Americans are still under the spell of the American Mythos.

Enlightenment and the Revivalists

Anyway, “Enlightenment” thoughts of Social Justice and a coming Earthly Utopia were thematic in both the Secret Societies behind the creation of America and the Revivalist’s teachings…

… Why is that?

Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to cure the world’s social ills. This world is not our home. And why does the popular Futurist view have the same “hope” of a coming earthly utopia as Occultists do?

That’s why all of this is so important. It’s what inspired my dive into how the philosophies, mathematics, science and astrology of Greece were resurrected through the “Enlightenment.” And how the resulting “beast with a head wound (Rev 13)” embedded its IMAGE in the minds of men (yes, the Globe).

Speaking of the image of the beast, look how far back this concept goes.

And its thinly veiled counterpart today.

A Philosophic Empire Built on Human Wisdom

Like it or not, we are living in a society built on an occult ideal. Here’s Hall again, exalting Philosophy; the wisdom of man without God.

“It is only through a widespread social commitment to Philosophy that mankind will ever approach a stable and lasting system of government. Consequently, without Philosophy being enthroned as the core institution of civilization, the repeated rise and fall of unstable nations and empires must continue as an inevitable pattern.”. source

Plato’s Philosophic Empire was premised on the failure of prior Democracies. Aware of that Democracy ultimately ends in chaos because of man’s selfishness, Hall calls for human “wisdom,” stating that, “Wisdom is the integrity to administer any kind of government. Without wisdom they must all fail.” He observes:

• It is on the need to cultivate wisdom at all levels of society that Plato directed his attention, for he realized that without enlightened leadership and an educated populace, no model of government could work.
• The idea he came up with as a solution to this problem is centered around the notion of the “Philosophic Empire”: a model of government that seeks to enthrone not an individual autocrat or class of oligarchs but rather A PHILOSOPHIC WAY OF LIFE that extends across all levels of the social hierarchy… source

Sounds lofty doesn’t it? But what does scripture say? The Bible admonishes us to be wise, but also tells us our thoughts need to be based in the foundation of God’s Word. Inspired by God, King Solomon, famously the wisest man who ever lived said;

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. (Prov 9:10)

Philosophy; the love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means, is not wisdom from God but “wisdom” as defined by man. And man cannot see God. Therefor intellectuals conclude that, “there is no God.” And because of the omission of God the very foundation of Philosophy is flawed. Which is why, while occultists hold Philosophy as the highest form of wisdom… the Bible only mentions it once. 🤔

A Scriptural View of Philosophy

“Beware lest any man spoil you through Philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” (Col. 2:8)

American lawyer and author Philip Mauro expounds on this in his book, Modern Philosophy.

“In the foregoing passage occurs the only mention which the Scriptures make of philosophy. Nothing is more highly esteemed among men than philosophy. It is on all hands regarded as the supreme exercise and occupation of the human mind, and is indeed an occupation for which but very few men have the requisite intellectual equipment. As far back as the tradition of men goes, philosophy has held this high place in human estimation; and it is, therefore, a fact of much significance that, in all the Bible, philosophy is but once named.

Even in our day the deference paid to philosophy is such that there are not many teachers of the Bible who would venture to warn their fellow-men of its dangers; for philosophers have managed to maintain in Christendom the same eminence which they occupied in heathendom. Indeed, a course in philosophy is now, and for some generations has been, considered an essential part of the education of a man who is preparing for the Christian ministry; and this is not the only one of the “rudiments of the world” which has found its way into our theological seminaries. It is, therefore, not surprising that, in the teaching imparted by these seminary graduates, philosophy holds a very different place from that assigned to it by the Bible…

The thing against which this earnest warning was spoken has been welcomed with open arms and incorporated into the theological machinery of our ecclesiastical systems. The consequences of this contemptuous disregard of God’s warning are such as might have been expected.” – Philip Mauro, Modern Philosophy

Mauro on the Essence of Democracy

“The essence of Democracy is that “the will of the people” is supreme…

The great movements of our day, whether economic or religious, are all heading directly and rapidly towards the development of a gigantic system, federation, or syndicate – a great combine – which shall control all human interests and enterprises, and regulate all human affairs, both secular and religious;

and that THE DOMINANT IDEA OF ALL THESE MOVEMENTS IS FAITH IN THE INHERENT POWER OF MAN TO OVERCOME AND ABOLISH ALL THE EVILS IN HIMSELF AND IN HIS CIRCUMSTANCES.” – Phillip Mauro, The Number of Man (1910)

Clearly there’s nothing wrong with good moral conduct. The problem is that it’s impossible for man to remedy sin (Rom 3:23). Which is why God dealt with it at the cross (Rom 5:6).

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. (Matt 9:25-26)

“The Bible declares that the cause of the ills of humanity is in man himself, and that all the evils that beset him are the necessary results of corrupted human nature. But the firm belief of the natural man is that the source of those evils are in man’s surroundings, and that it man’s surroundings or “environment” be improved, man himself will automatically improve….” – Phillip Mauro, The Number of Man

“Thus, it is assumed [by the Philosophical and ethical stance of Secular Humanism] that man, who did not make himself, and cannot change his own nature, is nevertheless able to make gods (whether they be called “environment” or “Baal” is a mere detail), which shall have both the will and the power to do for him what he is powerless to do for himself.

A further element of this popular doctrine is that the desired environment, which is to abolish the ills of humanity, is to be attained by the increase of wealth to such a point, and by its distribution in such just proportion, that everybody shall be raised and kept above the level of want and anxiety, and shall be insured the enjoyment of lifelong happiness and contentment.

Thus in the last analysis of this doctrine it is found that MONEY is to be the real agent of deliverance.” – Phillip Mauro, Modern Philosophy

God and Mammon

From scripture we know there are two kingdoms at war in this world. The kingdom of God and its rewards are unseen as we sojourn here. The principalities and powers at work behind the Kingdom of the world are also hidden, but they tempt men with the carnal rewards of material wealth, status and power. Those are the rudiments the apostle warned against, and they’re making themselves more apparent every day.

And as Mauro said, this satanically-run temporal world is governed by FINANCE (some translations call it “mammon G3126”).

Jesus said,

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Matt 6:24)

As if to qualify our Savior’s Words, German-Jewish banker, founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty & known as a “founding father of international finance,” Mayer Amschel Rothschild famously said,

“Give me control of a nation’s money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” – Mayer Amschel Rothschild

Let’s See WHO These Bankers Are…

Mayer Amschel Rothschild was part of an alliance with Kabbalist Jacob Frank and Jesuit Adam Weishaupt known as the “Illuminati.” Frank resurrected the “Zevite” or “Sabbatean” cult founded by Sabbatai Zevi in 1666. (You may recognize the names from my Moravian post.) In their inversion of anything godly, they believed that the Messiah would return if the world turned to pure evil, they encouraged all forms of sexual promiscuity and evil as being the ultimate good. In other words; redemption through sinful acts. They practiced ritualistic wife swapping, drug usage and orgies, and Frank in particular reportedly encouraged child sacrifice, rape, incest and blood drinking. – source

Financed by the Rothschild banking syndicate, these men and others in their web of Secret Societies have managed to infiltrate and subvert all religions. They are well on their way to establishing their world order or “globalization.”

In short, these are what the Bible refers to as “the mighty men” (Re 8:23) who deceived the world through their “sorcery.” In other words, they’re witches, servants of the god of this world. But I’ll get into that later on.

Getting back to Mauro,

In man’s world human achievement is exalted to the highest place, and no limit is set to what may be accomplished by human ingenuity. “Let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name” (Gen. 11:4), is the program of humanity, as announced by those who established the basic principles of the world…

This confidence in Man… has now been rapturously embraced by the leaders of religious thought, and has, in fact, become the basic principle of all the current religious movements…

The anti-Christian theory [Democracy], based upon the evolutionary notion taught in the name of modern “science,” namely, that man’s evil nature is due to his evil surroundings, and that if the surroundings be improved the man will improve, has been already sufficiently tested in human experience to demonstrate its falsity to all who care to know the truth in this regard.

In every “civilized” country there are, and for many generations have been, favoured groups of individuals who are “surrounded,” and have been all their lives, with all the favouring influences that wealth can procure. So far, however, from having developed ideal characters, it is, on the contrary, observable that these conditions tend to develop, in those who are most fully exposed to their influence, the traits of selfishness, extravagance, idleness, immorality, self-indulgence, excesses, pride, and the like. Surely, if experience teaches anything, it teaches that prosperity and “easy circumstances” do not tend to develop – much less do they automatically produce – ideal characters. As a means of getting rid of sin and its consequences, industrial progress is already a demonstrated failure.” – ibid (Keep in mind this was written in 1909)

That sounds an awful lot like America today, doesn’t it? Charges of “selfishness,” “extravagance,” “immorality,” “self-indulgence,” “excesses” and “pride” have long been leveled at the US by liberal groups, Islamists and, dare I say it… Communists. To be clear, I am not advocating any of those things. The bottom line is that there is no ideal worldly government; there never will be nor has there ever been.

Although far from perfect, America’s humanist ideals have provided a good, relatively prosperous life for many. But they are premised on the belief that man to pull himself up by his bootstraps and “be the best that he can be,” which scripture tells us is far from the Holiness required of God.

As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one. There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. (Rom 3:9-12)

I’d be negligent not to mention the incredible kindness and decency of most Americans and the countless spirit-born Americans who love Jesus Christ. But tragically, Secret Societies have infiltrated American Christianity with Papal/ Judaic Law, Nationalism, Freemasonic Moralism and more… things the Bible refers to as Rudiments or Elements of this World. And the Christian is not to be in bondage to them.

In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? You observe days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain. (Gal 4:3-11)

Since the outcome of democracy is a matter of history, Secret Societies have known all along where America would end up.

Long before satanic rituals were performed on public television; long before gender-neutral pronouns, American Christians have steadily been becoming less and less distinguishable from the rest of the world.

But I love America…

Ya I know. I do too. But for all the good it’s afforded us, it’s not where our true citizenship lies. And we need to know its true origins for the sake of the gospel of truth.

Wait! What about Columbus?

Patience Grasshopper. We’ll get there. 😊

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (Jn 5:4)
