The Origin of Freemasonry
1. Masonry was founded
by King Herod Agrippa with other eight Jewish Founders
- In the year AD43, King Herod Agrippa I summoned the court
of Jerusalem and said:
- "Dear Brothers, you are not the King's men and his collaborators. You
are the support of the King and the life of the Jewish people. Until now you
have been his faithful followers. From this moment on you will be his
brothers . . .
- "Let us all understand then, and let us not forget, that this
fundamental meeting realized by this new group is based on Brotherhood . . .
- "My Brothers, the aristocracy as well as the common people
have perceived the spiritual and even political revolt that the
appearance of the Impostor Jesus (as in the original) has caused
among the people, and especially among our Israelites.
- "We have noted a great power in him, which he left as an inheritance to
that group he called disciples. He founded an Association that he called a
religion, it being called that by them as well. This supposed religion is at
a point of overturning the foundations of our religion and demolishing it .
. .
- "He attributed to himself the gift of prophecy and the power of
performing miracles. He claimed to be the hoped-for Messiah of whom our
prophets announced the coming; not being anything but a vulgar man like the
rest of the people, devoid of any feature of the Divine Spirit, withdrawn to
the extreme from the rectitude of our firm Jewish doctrine, from which we
are determined not to deviate in even one point.
- "Never will we recognize such a person as the Messiah, nor will we
recognize his divinity. We know that the hoped-for Messiah is not yet among
us, nor has the time of his coming arrived. Nor has any sign been exhibited
that might indicate his appearance. If we commit the error of letting our
people follow him and be deceived, we convict ourselves of an unforgivable
crime.
- "...We crucified him, he died and we buried him, leaving guards who
watched the tomb. But it was claimed that he was risen, resurrected!... He
disappeared in an unknown manner, in spite of the zealous vigilance and the
security of the closure . . .
- "His leaving the tomb, my friends, was a decisive blow for his rivals;
it was a powerful means that encourages his men to continue spreading his
teachings and to prove the confirmation of his divinity . . .
- "We will not recognize, on any point, a religion other than ours, the
Jewish religion that we have inherited from our ancestors. Duty calls us to
preserve it until the end time.
- "That blow had never been expected. That mysterious force had never been
dreamed of. Our fathers attacked it and we continue attacking it. In spite
of everything, astonishing! Their number increases. Observe with me how the
son is separated from the father, the brother from his brother, the daughter
from her mother, all alienating themselves to join that group. This affair
encloses a great secret. How many men, how many women, how many entire
families have abandoned the Jewish religion in order to follow those
impostors, those partisans of Jesus. How many times they were threatened by
the priests and authorities, in vain!" (The Dissipation of the Darkness,
the Origin of Masonry, pp. 45-47).
2. The original name
of ancient Masonry was "The Mysterious Force"
Hiram Abiud, the King's Counselor, who was the real founder of ancient
Masonry, proposed the name of the association as the "Mysterious Force."
This was his reason:
- "...It seems that there has been a hand, a force, secret, mysterious, that
punishes us without our being able to offer resistance. It seems we have lost
all our strength to defend our religion and our existence itself.
- "Majesty, based on the evidence that there is no efficacious means of
incorporating our ideas, nor firm hope of attacking that force, undoubtedly
mysterious; there is no other oath than to establish a Mysterious force,
similar to that one (to attack mystery with mystery)
(Editor's Note: phrase in brackets is in the original). I have
come to the conclusion that it is our unavoidable duty,
unless you have a better idea to establish an Association of greater power so
it may assemble the Jewish forces threatened by that mysterious force. It is
fitting that no one knows anything about this foundation, its principles and
its actions. Only those whom Your Majesty may choose as founders will know
the secret of the foundation." (p. 43).
3. The frightful oath of
founding members
- The nine founders had to take a horrifying oath :
- "I, (John Doe, son of John Doe), swear by God, the Bible and my honor,
that, having become a member of nine founders of the Association, 'The
Mysterious force', I bind myself not to betray my brothers, the members in
anything that might harm their persons, nor to betray anything concerning
the decrees of the Association. I bind myself to follow its principles and
to realize what is proposed in the successive decrees approved by you, the
nine founders, with obedience and precision, with zeal and fidelity. I bind
myself to work for an increase in the number of its members. I bind myself
to attack whoever follows the teaching of the Impostor Jesus and to combat
his men until death. I bind myself not to divulge any of the secrets
preserved among us, the nine; either among outsiders or among the affiliated
members.
- "If I commit perjury and my betrayal is confirmed in that I have
revealed some secret or some article of the decrees preserved among and our
heirs this commission of eight companions will have the right to kill me by
whatever means available." (pp. 51-52).
4. Meaning of
instruments and symbols of Masonry
- King Agrippa explained the meaning of instruments and symbols used in
Masonry:
- "You already know that we must make everyone believe that our
Association is very ancient... We will reinforce this deceit with the use of
the instruments of construction that the architect Hiram utilized in the
construction (of the Solomon Temple), such as the Square, the Compass, the
Trowel, the Scales, the Hammer, etc., all of wood as Hiram Abiff had them."
(p. 62).
- "...Every session will be opened by striking three times consecutively
with this hammer; thus we will remember eternally through centuries, that we
have crucified him and with this hammer we have fixed the nails in his hands
and feet, killing him. These three stars you see symbolize the three
nails (Editor's Note : The Anti-Christ Maitreya has a "Great
Sign" in his homepage on the WWW: http://www.maitreya.org/. Within this
"great sign" are the three stars of David, telling the Jewish people
that he is continuing the work of the 9 Masonic founders: to persecute the
true Church which is the mystical body of Jesus Christ).
- "Within our Association, we will make degrees, as we have mentioned
previously. These will be thirty-three, symbolizing the age of the impostor.
We will give a name to each degree and we will create other similar symbols.
All these things were my ideas and those of brothers Moab and Hiram. The
meaning of these ironic symbols must not be perceived; it must remain among
the nine of us. For the other brothers or affiliates it is enough to make
them see the utilities and instruments so they may believe that the
Association was founded in the times of Solomon or earlier than this."
(p.64).
- "Any brother can propose a new symbol."
- "What do you think and observe, brothers, concerning what I have
presented to you?"
- The six men approved without objection, everything being recorded.
(Note from the Original Manuscript: 6 men and the three proposers:
the King, Moab, and Hiram).
- Then the King said: "Let us rejoice! Let us begin the march on the path
of triumph! Let us take our first three steps! Let us strike three times
with this victorious hammer, with the symbol of death for our enemy the
Impostor, the symbol of the establishment of our honorable principles that
we fix with the nails of brotherhood and union! Let us all exclaim with joy:
Onward to victory!" (p. 64)
- During the First Session, the nine founders also created a new symbol:
the apron that symbolized the protection of the clothing from the mud. This
together with the Masonic instruments are to conceal the true purpose and to
assure the affiliates of the antiquity of the Association. (p. 64).
- The King-President said: "I, with my authority as President (and not as
King) grant each one of you the 33rd degree, the highest in our Association.
. . . Since our brother Hiram is orphaned of his father since childhood,
knowing no one other than his widowed mother, I propose to call our
Association, "The Widow," asking your approval. From now on the name of the
founders will be "The Sons of the Widow." Each member of the Association
will call himself a son of the widow until the end of time because we
believe that our Association will live until the end of time." (p. 65)
- (Note: King Agrippa became blind within five days of the illness of the
eyes, then paralyzed, and died shortly afterward in the year 44. Acts of the
Apostles (12:23) reported that the King was struck by an angel and eaten by
worms before he died. Hiram Abiud replaced The King as president of the
Association but disappeared mysteriously and his body was found eaten by
vultures. Desaguliers became mad and died in extreme poverty).
5. The name was
changed to Freemasonry on June 24, 1717 in London
- Masonry set up the Temple of Jerusalem and sent heir-descendant of Hiram
Abiud to Rome to establish the two Temples of Rome and of Achaea. After the
members of the latter two temples killed St. Peter and St. Andrew, the Temple
of Rome became the presider of all temples in the East. The heir-descendant of
Moab Levy was sent to Russia, that of Adoniram to Gaul (France) and those of the
successor of Abiud to Germany. The movement initiated by the Mysterious Force
did not expand greatly due to the fear created by its name. Joseph Levy and
Abraham Abiud, heir-descendants of Moab Levy and Hiram Abiud, were sent from
Russia and Germany to London where they met John Desaguliers, who was a
Protestant with intense hatred for Catholics. The three agreed on naming the
Association Freemasonry on August 25, 1716. Then on June 24, 1717, they met
with the associations of architects and builders in London and officially
launched the Association with the new name. Since 1717, the temples were
changed to lodges.
6. The counsels
offered by Janet to her husband James (Jonas)
- James said:
- Before beginning with her words, my wife required me to relate to her
all the efforts and conspiracies that the Masons devised against
Catholicism.
- I told her how, through my permanent contact with the grand Masons, I
discovered that there are three groups of them in the lodges: Some attack
Catholicism. Others attack all religions. The third, composed of men from
the first two groups, battle in politics for the purpose of coming to
dominate temporal authority.
- Here is what my wife said to me:
- "James, your affiliation with the new Masonry was not to support the
enemies of religions, nor to support any religion, but, as we have
resolved from the beginning, to study it and compare it with the Masonry
of your ancestors for the purpose of completing this History."
- "We have both understood in the texts of this History the upset
produced when your ancestor Levy changed the name of the Association,
together with Desaguliers. In accord with what you relate to me, there
exists among us Protestants a sect united to the Jews (your relatives)
whose goal is to demolish what our Jesus (sic), may He be glorified, and
to crush Catholicism and the Roman Church. Such are the principles of
Desaguliers and Anderson."
- "My parents and I, dear James, are not of that sect. Yes, we are
Protestants, but we are far from the intention of crushing the Roman
Church. Listen to what I tell you: We believe that Jesus Christ is the one
who built it. and He said that it will not fall. You must have our faith
in spite of our traditional revolt that we inherited from our parents
against the authority of the Pontiff. In our hearts we conceal a firm
faith that the Church of St. Peter is the original Church of Jesus. Never
have we thought, neither my parents nor I, of associating with the enemies
of the Church. You, who are now converted to Christianity through my
intercession, must adopt the principles I have inherited from my parents.
Be careful in collaborating with those two sects: the one that attacks
Catholicism in particular and the other that attacks all religions in
general. Be careful that you do not fall into their traps. Since you
obeyed me and converted to my religion, you loved me and married me, I
desire that you always continue firm with me in your Christianity, firm in
your promises, and in your new principles. (Editor's Note:
"Janet sounds like an impersonation of the Roman Catholic
Mary, and not a Christian woman or even a Protestant -- Ephesians
5:24; I Timothy 2:11-15).
- "Continue then in the path of completing the studies for which you
entered the new Masonry, to succeed in satisfying our longings to reveal
truth and to denounce evil, in order to dissipate the darkness when later
the doors of light will be opened before the blindfolded eyes so they may
orient themselves in the path of truth. And there on the peak of the solid
mountain of reality the light will be irradiated that will guide each
confused person and each confuser." (pp. 107-108)
7. The objectives
of Masonry were to destroy the Holy Roman Catholic Church, to create Socialism,
and to establish domination of the whole world
- There are triple-objectives of the new Masonry: (a) to preserve Judaism
for the Jews, (b) to attack Roman Catholicism, (c) and to embrace naturalism
and nihilism. As a result, it acted for the demolition of thrones, the
abolition of authorities, spiritual and temporal, so it may have absolute
domination of the world. (p. 115). It preaches liberty, equality, and
fraternity with perverse meaning: liberty without limits, liberty of
blasphemies and deceits, liberty destructive of character, religions, wealth,
lives and families; equality signifies the disappearance of all order,
everything falling into confusion, with the loss of true values; fraternity is
a brotherhood full of egotism and privileges, love of revenge, divisions,
endless conflicts, betrayal, robbery, pride, profanation, and nihilism. If the
new Freemasonry is the daughter of mother Masonry,
Socialism is its granddaughter.
- The mother Masonry threw all her intention in a single goal, which was the
battle against Jesus' men. The daughter Masonry (i.e. Freemasonry) surpasses
that limit by great distances. It acts for the demolition of thrones and the
abolition of authorities, spiritual and temporal, so it may have absolute
domination of the world. (p. 115)
- Jonas (James) Lawrence (1775-1825) predicted even before the birth of
Communist theory (Karl Marx, 1848: Communist Manifesto) that the new Masonry
will give birth to Socialism. Not only that, all the corrupt descendant
organizations will be the daughters and granddaughters of mother Masonry. (p.
119). (Editor's Note: As the Protestant denominations are
the harlot daughters of Rome -- Revelation 17:1-5).
- This is Jonas's own words:
- "Know, my son, that the new Masonry, responding to the demands of the
enemy of humanity and fulfilling orders to increase the daughters of
corruption, gave birth to Socialism. This granddaughter came to be evil
worse than earlier evils.
- "I predict to you, Samuel, that all these creatures will grow and give
birth, by Satanic spouses, to all other creatures of wickedness, corruption
and destruction.
- "They will be multiplied and they will scatter their seeds over all the
earth, corrupting it and how poisonous will be their fruits!
- "Each one of those creatures will form a party and each party will look
out for the interests of its mother, aggravating the evils of confusion,
civilization disappearing, eliminating religion and education degenerating.
Then the trumpets of grief and disaster will blow.
- "This prophecy of mine will be fulfilled and will have a great echo. Our
descendants will see infernal generations. Men will remember me, after my
death. They will testify to this opinion of mine that all the corrupt
descendants will be daughters and granddaughters of mother Masonry. How
fitting this is, with respect to this: Evils beget nothing but evils."
(p.119)
- Jonas prediction has been fulfilled for the most part.
8. Janet's
message to women of the world
- Janet, a Protestant who married Jonas, Mr. Lawrence's great grandfather,
understood the evil plan of Masons to change the role of the woman contrary to
God's will. She even foresaw with striking accuracy the present conditions of
women. Here is Janet's analysis of Masonry's conspiracy to turn the woman into
a tool of Satan to destroy human society.
- "Masons liberated her from all rules and conditions, having as a result
the degeneration and misery of the woman. Our descendants will witness
horrible spectacles born of the misery of the woman.
- "The woman, with this exaggerated affection, was falsely exalted,
fraudulently cultivating her pride without advising her of the irreparable
loss that would be produced in her. With extremist liberty, the woman lost
her temporal and eternal happiness, she lost her education, she lost her
life and even more, she made the world lose family, social, educational and
procreative order.
- "If she took comfort in this easy and voluptuous life, the result of
this joy was misery and mourning, mourning and misery for all the world."
(p. 122)
- As a result, to help admonish the woman not to follow Masons' lure of
'liberty, equality, fraternity' into the trap, in the introductory section of
the History of Masonry, The Dissipation of the Darkness, the Origin of
Masonry, Mr. Lawrence included the words of Janet, as follows:
- "Woman! Since Creation you enjoy the greatest affection and respect in
the world. Wise men, philosophers and great men have said of you. The woman
rocks the cradle with her right hand and shakes the world with her left.
- "To you then, virtuous women, I present this History that it pleases me
to call, 'The Dissipation of the Darkness,' and to you I say: For having
influenced my husband Jonas, the owner of this History, after his conversion
to Christianity, and his being able to marry me, and for my having been the
instigator of the idea of printing it and publishing it, you, too, must also
share in the knowledge of its contents, to utilize what is within reach to
convince men that Masonry is nothing but Judaism. To convince men that it
was Masonry that made the pillars of nations totter, that demolished the
powers, that rejected religion. It was Masonry that shed rivers of innocent
blood with its Jewish cunning. It was Masonry, Masonry!
- "Know that every event contrary to Religion has its origin in Masonry.
- "By the monstrous exaggeration of the interpretation of the words:
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, the reins of human morals were loosened. It
was Masonry that diffused disobedience to their duties in women, with the
purpose of spreading extremism, corruption and prostitution. These are the
purposes of the Mysterious Force and its daughter, Masonry.
- "Any contact with a Mason inspires in us, in one way or another, if not
the despising of Religion, coldness toward it.
- "Here is the example: in the countries where Masons abound,
spirituality, honor and virtues diminish. It is a frightening danger that
threatens Humanity. The consequences will be disastrous for your daughters
and sons and for the entire world.
- "You must, then, my friends, diffuse the facts in this History at each
meeting, in every home, because religion is the foundation of all virtue,
honor and justice." (p. 32)
