1 TBN MINISTRIES EXPOSED AS A MASONIC FRAUD By: Dr. Michael Sunstar Copyright 2006 FOR INTERNET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY NOT FOR SALE ALL SOURCES REFERENCED

2 SUNSTAR ESSAY 150 PAGES Let it be known that I never watched TBN ministries! As a Christian I quite rejected this terrible broadcast station as a fraud. How could anyone have taken Jan and Paul Crouch seriously? I believe that they were used in a plot to destroy Christianity and not bring people to Jesus Christ. I believe that the Jesus most of the TBN ministers followed was the anti-jesus or another Jesus not written about in Scripture. They followed THE DOLLAR and assisted the banks in becoming wealthier. As a Christian I saw TBN ministries as an imposter to the Gospel and the Truths that Jesus taught and I always viewed its ministers, such as Jack Van Impe, Benny Hinn, Jerry Falwell, DOLLAR, Jan & Paul Crouch as a bunch of lunatics who did not properly represent my Faith in Jesus. This volume, concerning TBN ministries INCLUDES: 1. HAL LINDSEY S EXPULSION FROM TBN AND SOME OF SUNSTAR/SUNSTAR S COMMENTS 2. THE MASONIC AFFILIATIONS OF TBN MINISTRIES AND WHY TBN SHOULD BE DISREGARDED AS AN ANTI-CHRIST INSTITUTION FULL OF FRAUDULENT MINISTERS ARTICLES RESEARCHED FROM OTHER MINISTRIES My grandmother watched him faithfully before she died and I got to watch Hal Lindsey s shows. My mother watches him faithfully every week with great joy and anticipation. Although I detest and abhor TBN Ministries as a false gospel and hold the highest contempt for about 95% of the TBN ministers, regarding TBN ministers as imposters to the Christian faith, I have been a long supporter of Hal Lindsey s Global Intelligence Report Broadcasted on TBN. I think Hal Lindsey is the only prophetic teacher who has the balls to show the whole world what the Quran actually says and teaches; shows the whole world the Islamic hatred towards Israel; and has a love for Scriptures and God s words. I have historically disagreed with Hal Lindsey s interpretations of the Rapture and some of what he says about the Tribulation, but I always accept him as a fellow brother and believer in Jesus a true believer. Yes, Hal Lindsey is an imperfect human being who also sins, but I think that his show: GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT rocks! It s practically TBN s only good show left: the most accurate news in our war for Israel against Islamic aggression. I have grown to admire and love Hal throughout my lifetime, mainly because of both my grandmother and mother s influence of watching him in the midst of those fakers, liars, exhortionists such as Paul Crouch, Benny Hinn, and all those other mockers of our great Christian faith who have exchanged the true gospel for MONEY and GOLDEN PLASTIC CHAIRS and broadcasting global evil that actually deceives some gullible, stupid people actually dumb enough to believe that the Crouches and their fake evangelists are actually Christians.

3 I am aflame with anger and disappointment over TBN s removal of Hal Lindsey from their news station and I entirely support Hal Lindsey s Global Intelligence Report as being the greatest evangelist on TBN ministries: Hal Lindsey is the only man who has the balls to do what those wimps and cowards at TBN who accept bribes against their own are afraid to do. TBN is turning their backs on men such as ZOLA LEVITT, CHARLES STANLEY, and HAL LINDSEY because of MONEY. MONEY RULES THEIR TELEVISION STATION and they are unwilling to stand up like they have stood up. TBN, in my opinion, is like Mormonism, Catholicism, and Jehovah s Witness cults it s a huge cult that professes Christianity and is casting aside the true believers of Jesus Christ. So long as they hire fake evangelists who are mockers of the Christian Gospel, such as Benny Hinn and all those other educated idiots such as Jack Van Wimp (Imp), I cannot ever support them with any financial or verbal support. Don t ever watch TBN as representatives of the Christian faith. If you find yourself flipping onto the Crouch family, make sure you bring your vomit bag and throw away your true feelings about them in the garbage where their disgusting ideas belong. READ HERE WHAT HAPPENED TO HAL LINDSEY AS POSTED ON HAL LINDSEYORACL.COM Hal Lindsey Leaving TBN Refuses to Compromise to Stay on Air January 1, 2006 Dear Paul and Jan, Paul, Jr. relayed your message to me that you are both in agreement on the policy of nothing negative being said on TBN about Muslims. Hearing that you also warned John Haggee, Perry Stone, Jack VanImpe and others of this policy caused me to realize that your are not going to modify your position. I love and respect you both and know your heart for evangelism of the Muslims. But I don't agree with your reasoning that warning about the dangers of "radical Islam" is a hindrance to the Gospel to all Muslims. The 'Radicals' are intimidating the moderate Muslims -- not to mention their terrible persecution of Arab and Palestinian Christians. Jesus confronted false religion (which Islam is) by calling them "whitewashed tombstones", "Brood of vipers", and "sons of hell" in Matthew 23. I am sure of my calling from the LORD. One important part of that calling is to sound

4 a prophetic alarm to America and the world about the dangers of the false religion of Fundamental Islam. It is a "Watchman on the Wall" kind of calling. In addition, the IIB is a news show from a Christian perspective. It is impossible to report the news without mentioning in a 'negative light' the radical Islamists who are wreaking murder and destruction on the Western world daily. It is truthfully reporting the most relevant news that made IIB one the most popular programs on TBN. It is also absolutely unacceptable to me to require my script to be submitted for censorship each week and then to learn whether my program will be aired or not. I don't have much money and it costs me a lot out of pocket to produce each show. When it is rejected or pre-empted, it is a big loss for me. So with regret and grief, I am not returning to TBN. I intend to pursue other avenues of ministry. I thank you for the years of association in the ministry. May God continue to bless you in your pursuit of evangelizing the world. In Christ's grace, Hal Lindsey As you know, I have a faith-based ministry. In order to assume the huge new expenses of producing my own show and paying for the program airtime, I will need your help. I ask you to please consider investing in this vital ministry that has brought thousands to faith in Christ. If God leads you to do so, please mail your taxdeductible contributions to: HAL LINDSEY MEDIA MINISTRIES P.O. Box 1475 Palm Desert, CA First TBN drops Lindsey, now Lindsey drops TBN Best-selling author says Christian network tried to muzzle his views on radical Islam Hal Lindsey, considered the best-selling non-fiction writer alive today, has notified the Trinity Broadcasting Network he will not return to his twice-weekly Christian commentary program, "The International Intelligence Briefing,"

5 because of what he considers to be efforts to muzzle his opinions about radical Islam. Lindsey, author of "The Late Great Planet Earth" and many other best-selling books and a weekly columnist for WND, has anchored the program for the last 12 years on the world's largest Christian network. The announcement follows an abrupt six-week suspension of the popular TBNsponsored program by Jan Crouch, TBN's vice president for programming. Though John Casoria, TBN's general counsel first told WorldNetDaily the show's suspension was simply a traditional hiatus in lieu of seasonal programming, that statement was later revised to confirm that the network believed Lindsey's program "placed Arabs in a negative light." Lindsey responded to this allegation: "I don't have to cast radical Muslims in a bad light. If the intimidation and persecution of moderate Muslims makes radical Islam look bad, that is because it is bad not that I 'cast' them in a bad light. But I have never cast the Arabs as a race in a bad light." "I also seek to show that radical Islam poses the greatest danger ever faced by the United States," he added. "I believe that God called me as 'a watchman on the wall' to warn America and I must obey although it is sometimes unpopular." On the other hand, Casoria told WND he believes the extremists are not Muslims at all but have "hijacked the religion." Lindsey contends that "the extremists are the ones most literally following the Quran and the Hadith, which are the most holy and authoritative books of the Muslim religion. This is why violence has erupted from Muslims in virtually every century since its birth." Casoria said he could not recall specific examples from Lindsey's programs that were anti-arab or anti-muslim, but he expressed the network's concern about how Muslims are portrayed. "TBN is a worldwide ministry; we have an entire channel that airs 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Arabic," he said. "We are trying to reach the Islamic world and open a dialogue with them regarding Christ and Christianity." Casoria explained, "We do not feel that the best witness of Christ is to bash them but rather to show them the nature of Christ the way Christ said to present himself and that is through love, understanding and the presentation of the gospel to them."

6 Lindsey argued, however, his program is not shown in the Middle East. "My show is produced for the Western world and for Christians who are at the most risk from radical Islam," he said. Lindsey has been associated with TBN since its inception in the early 1970s. He told WND that he has "no ax to grind" with TBN, saying, "I've been happy with my opportunities for ministry at TBN. I'm thankful for the platform TBN gave me. I will speak at the gates of hell as long as they don't tell me what to say. But it appears that they are now telling me what not to say so sadly, it's time to move on." Lindsey also announced that he is taking his popular television program to other outlets beginning in early February. His new half-hour news and commentary series will be called "The Hal Lindsey Report." A new video version of it will also be streamed on Lindsey's website. When the New York Times surveyed all book sales for the decade of the 1970s, it found that Lindsey's had far outsold all other authors. His "Late Great Planet Earth" alone sold more than 32 million copies. TBN admits concern about offending Muslims Network revises statement on pre-emption of Hal Lindsey show After insisting the pre-emption of Hal Lindsey's television show had nothing to do with content, a Trinity Broadcasting Network spokesman retracted his statement, admitting officials were concerned, at least secondarily, about offending Arabs and Muslims. As WorldNetDaily reported, John Casoria, general counsel for the network, responded yesterday to Lindsey's contention that the weekly program "International Intelligence Briefing" had been canceled for December, and possibly permanently, because its message was deemed "too pro-israel and too anti-muslim." Casoria initially replied, "That is absolutely, 100 percent false."

7 But now, after talking with network programming officials, he says a secondary reason for pre-empting the show was that it "placed Arabs in a negative light." The overwhelming reason, he still insists, is TBN requires all its programming during December to have a Christmas theme. "When a programmer chooses not to do so, they are pre-empted so that TBN can focus its attention on the holidays," Casoria said. "Hal is very well aware of this." Casoria said a "letter generally goes out to all the programmers letting them know this is the case," pointing out at least 20 other programs have been pre-empted because they didn't have a Christmas theme. But Lindsey told WND this was the first time he had been pre-empted for the entire month of December, noting his program previously had been replaced only the week before Christmas. He also pointed out TBN had him come in Tuesday to tape this week's show but informed him afterward, "through the chain of command," to stop production because they didn't like the script. Lindsey, a WND columnist, said he has to drive 130 miles to the network's studios in Orange County, California, to record the show. Casoria said he could not recall specific examples from Lindsey's programs that were anti-arab or anti-muslim, but he expressed the network's concern about how Muslims are portrayed. "TBN is a worldwide ministry; we have an entire channel that airs 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Arabic," he said. "We are trying to reach the Islamic world and open a dialogue with them regarding Christ and Christianity." Casoria explained, "We do not feel that the best witness of Christ is to bash them but rather to show them the nature of Christ the way Christ said to present himself and that is through love, understanding and the presentation of the gospel to them." Lindsey argued, however, his program is not shown in the Middle East. "My show is produced for the Western world and for Christians who are at the most risk from radical Islam," he said. Lindsey said that in the show that was canceled this week, he made a clear distinction between Muslims seeking jihad and those who want only a job and normal life for their families.

8 "I cast radical Muslims in a bad light," he said, "showing how they are intimidating and persecuting moderate Muslims in the Middle East." Casoria said he believes the extremists are not Muslims at all but have "hijacked the religion." As a Christian, he sees Islam as a false religion believing there is only one way to God, through Jesus Christ but he says Islam basically is peaceful. "That's where we violently disagree," Lindsey said. "Islam is not a peaceful religion; although there may be moderate Muslims, it's because they have not become followers of the Quran." Lindsey said in a message to supporters on his website that TBN's decision is "confusing to me because my message is the same as it has been for the entire 12 years of presenting the IIB program. It has not changed one iota." Asked to respond, Casoria said, speaking personally, "Hal Lindsey's program has clearly changed over the last 12 years, as has Hal Lindsey." "If you look at his earlier writings and you look at what he writes today, there is definitely a hard edge," he said. "That's my personal feeling." Lindsey responded, "I doubt if he's read anything I've ever written." "If there is any hard edge to what I'm saying now, it's post 9-11, when the threat from radical Islam has became readily apparent," Lindsey said. "It's been since that time that my program has soared in the ratings." After the program didn't turn up in its usual Wednesday time slot, viewers began contacting the network, and by yesterday afternoon, a flood of calls had shut down the switchboard, Lindsey said. Casoria said "International Intelligence Briefing" would be back on the air in January, but Lindsey claims he was told the show's future would be discussed in the new year. Asked to respond, Casoria said, "If that statement was made by Hal Lindsey, I think it's a little paranoia on his part." Casoria said Lindsey and TBN chief Paul Crouch, who founded the network with his wife Jan, have been friends for a long time. "I'm sure these very reasonable men can resolve these issues," said Casoria, a nephew of the Crouches.

9 Lindsey said he has "no axe to grind." I've been happy with my opportunities at TBN," he said. "I'm happy with the platform I've had." Hal Lindsey's 'anti-muslim' show dropped Christian television network denies decision related to content Author Hal Lindsey says his weekly television program has been dropped by the Trinity Broadcasting Network because its message is considered by some officials at the Christian network to be "too pro-israel and too anti-muslim." "International Intelligence Briefing," a current-affairs style show that focuses on biblical prophecy and its relationship to events in the Holy Land, was removed from the air for the entire month of December and may never be broadcast again, according to Lindsey, a WND columnist. "This is confusing to me because my message is the same as it has been for the entire 12 years of presenting the IIB program," said Lindsey in a website dispatch to supporters. "It has not changed one iota." John Casoria, general counsel for TBN, confirmed to WorldNetDaily that Lindsey's program won't air during December, but he says that applies only to this month's schedule and insists the decision has nothing to do with content. "That is absolutely, 100 percent false," Casoria said of Lindsey's assertion. Casoria said he has been trying, unsuccessfully, to get in touch today with Lindsey or someone in his office. Lindsey's show normally airs at 5:30 p.m. each Wednesday and is repeated Thursday at 10 p.m. Casoria explained that TBN, as part of its contractual agreement, has the right to pre-empt a network-produced program such as Lindsey's.

10 It's not playing this month, Casoria said, because the network is focusing on Christmas programming. In an interview with WND, however, Lindsey said he was told specifically, through the TBN "chain of command," that his program was being dropped indefinitely, at least through December, because he was "Arab bashing." An evaluation of the program's future is to be made in January, according to Lindsey. He said that after recording this week's program Tuesday afternoon, he was told the show was canceled because of the script. Lindsey wrote in his website letter that this week's program "addressed the tremendous political upheaval in Israel including the toppling of the government in the wake of the Gaza withdrawals. It warned about the peril the U.S. faces if we pull out of Iraq and leave the perception that radical Islamic terrorists defeated the world's only superpower." Lindsey said the program included an exclusive interview with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. "The feeling must be that honestly reporting news on current issues concerning radical Islam is thwarting evangelism to Muslims at large, particularly Palestinians," Lindsey said in his website message. "I personally believe that both Christian Palestinians and moderate Muslims who are being intimidated and persecuted by the radicals actually welcome honest reporting on the situation." Lindsey, author of the 1970s best-seller "The Late Great Planet Earth," said he understands how there will be "disagreements about style and aesthetics in programming. But I can't understand how any Christian that is aware of the dangers radical Islam poses to our nation, Christians worldwide and the nation of Israel can issue a mandate to soft-pedal the truth about it." Lindsey said he still "deeply" loves TBN, noting he's been involved with the network from its beginning, three decades ago. He asked supporters to pray for himself and for the "decision makers at TBN." "This could be a disastrous turn in their ministry," Lindsey said. By Popular Demand...

11 The Offending 'Anti-Muslim' TV Script Many have ed me and requested to see the script for last week s program that was rejected by the TBN Program Department as being too anti-muslim and put Arabs in a bad light. (Incidentally, my best friend in this unfortunate situation has been an Arab Joe Farah, founder of WorldNetDaily) The following is the exact script, word for word, that TBN used as the reason for dropping the program. You be the judge as to whether this indeed was too anti-muslim: Good evening. If you ve been watching the news over the last few days, you know that the past week has brought almost unprecedented political turmoil to the nation of Israel. And all of it a direct result of Israel s recent pull-out from the Gaza Strip. The fallout from the withdrawal has actually toppled the Israeli government. The good news is that Israel is a strong democracy and can withstand this kind of turmoil. The bad news is that Israel is having to endure this kind of turmoil in the first place. I believe that Israel s hopes have been tragically founded on a failed policy of appeasement. This policy of land-for-peace has led and will continue to lead her to greater dismay and grief. A few days ago, I visited with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about this very subject. Later in today s program, you ll see what he had to say. But first, let s set the stage. {TURN TO CAMERA 2} Many crises have developed in Israel in the aftermath of the Gaza pull-out. First and foremost, the terrorist organizations led by Hamas have claimed it as a great victory of their Jihad. This has enabled them to establish de-facto control over Gaza. Second, when the Israelis turned over the Rafah checkpoint on the border between Gaza and Egypt, the terrorists flooded in with new and more lethal weapons. Among them were anti-tank missiles and SAM or surface to air missiles. The Egyptian soldiers who were supposed to prevent such things simply turned their heads. Third, intelligence shows that Al-Qaeda has moved into the Sinai Peninsula in a big way. The terrorist organization immediately took advantage of the lack of an Israeli presence at the Sinai entrance to Gaza and the area south of that border. They have developed strongholds in some formidable terrain that makes combating them extremely difficult. Fourth, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a crisis of confidence in the parliament that has caused him to leave the party he founded the Likud and form a new political party Kadima. He asked Israel s President to disband the Knesset and call an early election. Sharon s new party is said to be more centrist than the hawkish Likud or the dovish Labor. Close associates say that by forming a new political base and asking for an electoral mandate from Israeli voters, Sharon is seeking greater freedom to finalize a deal with the Palestinians. Following the dictates of the Road Map to Peace, he is apparently prepared to offer the Palestinians independence in return for security. Prime Minister Sharon nicknamed The Bulldozer is so determined to see his plan through that Israel Today reports he is

12 even considering proposing fundamental structural changes in the government that will limit the power of political parties. By the way, the Labor Party which is the minority member of the current government ousted its longtime leader Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres, and replaced him with a trade union organizer, Amir Peretz. Fifth, though Sharon still enjoys a lead in the popularity polls, Peretz of the liberal Labor party and Netanyahu, the new leader of the abandoned Likud party are gaining ground. Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have a very good chance of becoming Sharon s successor as Prime Minister. His keen understanding of the terrorist threat and how they gain power has attracted new converts to his bid for the Prime Ministership. Also, the average Israeli is beginning to realize that his predictions of the consequences of the Oslo Accords have all come true. Sixth, the European Union has stepped into the Road Map to Peace process in a big way. It is blatantly anti-israel and is causing even greater insecurity for the Israelis. In a deal brokered by US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, the EU is now supervising the all-important Rafah checkpoint. Though the EU forces are supposed to be neutral enforcers, evidence shows that they are anything but neutral. Furthermore the EU has expressed its neutrality by preparing a preliminary report for adoption that will refuse to any longer recognize Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel. It instead refers to the annexed Israeli settlements of East Jerusalem as illegal settlements. The growing influence of the EU in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has great prophetic implications. Prophecy demands that the coming revised Roman Empire that will arise from the European Union will play a key role in resolving the conflict. But it will only be a psuedo-peace that will ultimately lead to Armageddon. {TURN TO CAMERA 3} All these developments have created a crisis of confidence in the Israeli people. During my recent trip to Israel, I detected for the first time a genuine fear among average Israelis. The one voice that showed strength and offered a detailed plan for getting Israel out of its dangerous position is that of Benjamin Netanyahu. In my opinion, he is the one person who can lead Israel out of the disastrous consequences of the Oslo Accords. {TURN TO CAMERA 2} In the United States the calls for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq are growing despite the recent 403 to 3 vote in the Congress against it. I fear America is falling victim to the same Oslo Illusion that has cost Israel so dearly over the past decade. The Oslo Illusion has thus far robbed Israel of most of its hard-won territories along the West Bank and Gaza. It has de-facto reduced Israel s ability to defend itself from invasion. Radicals who have sworn they will destroy Israel are now filling the West Bank and Gaza strip. They have terrorized even their fellow Palestinians into submission. On the fantastic tour I just led to Israel, I witnessed first-hand the dramatic changes that have taken place in the four years since I was last there. Israel is no longer the same place. Even to enter Bethlehem, we had to replace our Israeli guides with Palestinian guides. It was like traveling to an alien country. Most of the Christian Palestinians of Bethlehem have been driven away by the radical Muslims. One of the most thoughtful voices regarding the war America is now waging is former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the months leading up to the conclusion of the Oslo Accords, Netanyahu predicted that the Oslo Agreement was really just part of Yasser Arafat s Phased Plan for the Destruction of Israel. Prior to the White House signing ceremony in September of 1993, Netanyahu publicly identified the three elements to Arafat s Phased Plan.

13 ONE To gain territory and establish an independent combatant national authority. TWO To use that land as a base of operations for the continued war against Israel, and THREE To provoke an all-out war between Israel and the Arab world to finish off what is left of the Jewish State. Netanyahu s predictions are proving to be absolutely on the mark. The more territory Israel conceded, the more the terrorists demanded. And when they obtained all they could by negotiation, they launched the current intifada. They continue to demand that Israel give them territory without requiring them to fulfill their most basic promise to renounce terrorism and disarm the terrorists. The former Prime Minister noted that, to terrorists, the perception of victory is more important than victory itself. Any and every concession is used by the radicals as proof that terrorism works and is evidence of Allah s blessing on the jihad. That gives them power over the non-radical Muslims who would just like to be able to work and feed their families. Earlier this year, US Senator Dick Durbin stood in the well of the Senate and compared American military forces to Nazis. He accused the United States of torturing prisoners at Guantanamo by depriving them of sleep and playing loud music to them in hot or cold rooms. To an American audience accustomed to creature comforts, that sounds kind of like torture. But the word torture has only one meaning in the Middle East. And it is too gruesome for the typical American mind to fathom. Durbin s comments provided a propaganda windfall for terrorist recruiters. They have endlessly repeated this information on al-jazeera and throughout the Arab world. For a US Senator to say, US Forces Torture Prisoners was all they needed. A few days ago, Representative John Murtha called on the US to immediately withdraw from Iraq. He said the war with al-qaeda was unwinnable and that American forces have done all that they could do. The terrorist insurgents THOUGHT they were losing. They were hiding in caves. They were always on the move, one step ahead of certain death. They even feared to use their cell phones. They dressed in women s clothing to avoid detection. Then Congressman Murtha s words gave al-qaeda s forces a second wind. Now it s reasonable for them to think that they ARE winning not by actual military victories, but by propaganda. After all, a US Congressman confirmed it. Now they have renewed confidence. The reason defeatism was such a dirty word during World War Two was because people realized that losing the war meant jackboots stomping down Pennsylvania Avenue. Those advocating defeat now are clueless to the nature of the threat facing the Western world and our nation in particular. Our very existence is at stake in this war. Abandoning Iraq would so reward the terrorist enemy that there would be no stopping them. It would send a signal that the world s only superpower was defeated by the superior faith and determination of Allah s forces. It would encourage millions to join the winning side while there is still time. It would unleash an avalanche of attacks against the US homeland.

14 {TURN TO CAMERA 3} Don t take just my word for it. I recently discussed these issues with Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview in Jerusalem. Here is part of what he told me. INSERT EXCLUSIVE BENJAMIN NETANYAHU INTERVIEW (15:30 minutes) Ad-Lib closing points, 1> It is critical for Christians to pray for Israel and its leadership. 2> Pray for God s will in upcoming elections. 3> Look at what s happening in light of prophecy and know that time is growing short. 4> Determine to share the Gospel with family and friends. There s a sense of urgency. 5> If you ve never committed your life to Christ, now is the time. Here s how. 6> See you next week, God willing. Whether the IIB program will actually be put back on air in January remains to be seen. But this whole incident has really proven the promise of Romans 8:28, And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. As a result of all of this, a number of new opportunities to broadcast this type of news show have been offered me. The one problem that I have had is that I never had enough support financially to build a modest studio to videotape the program so as to take advantage of these opportunities. Many have offered to help. If God leads you to help, Please send you tax-deductible donation to Hal Lindsey Media Ministries at PO Box 1475, Palm Desert, CA, Thanks for all of your prayers. God bless you all. Hal Lindsey Related Story: TBN Suspends IIB For Offending Muslims URGENT PERSONAL MESSAGE from Hal TBN Suspends IIB While on my recent thrilling tour to Israel, I received a distinct warning from the Lord. This warning came at just the time the Lord was making me fully aware of the exponential increase in outreach my International Intelligence Briefing program on TBN has experienced in just this year.

15 s from all over the world continuously inform me of the people who regularly watch the IIB program. They share how many of their friends came to faith in Christ as a result of watching it. Several shared how they gather a group each week in their homes to watch the IIB program. Two different missionaries in Kenya said that they did this. Both reported that a number of young people have accepted Christ in these sessions. Tourists, not only on my tour but also on many other tours in Israel, repeatedly stopped me to say that God has blessed them through IIB. He has used the program to make them aware of the certainty of prophecy and the soon coming of Christ. It has helped them to understand the complex perils that face our world today. Many Jews both in this and other countries also watch the program regularly. I am continually stopped wherever I go by people who tell me the same things. And many who are not Christians (yet) watch the IIB show regularly. They say that they find the news reports to be unique and eye-opening by revealing information that other news sources either choose not to report or are afraid to report. It was in this light that God prompted me while in Jerusalem that Satan was going to attack my IIB ministry and me personally. I shared this with my wife and related my past experiences with Satan s attacks at just the time God has used me most. So we prepared for spiritual warfare. This warning proved to be accurate immediately after my return to the US. The International Intelligence Briefing has been removed from the air on TBN for the entire month of December (and perhaps never to be broadcast again?). Some at the network apparently feel that my message is too pro-israel and too anti-muslim. This is confusing to me because my message is the same as it has been for the entire twelve years of presenting the IIB program. It has not changed one iota. The program this week addressed the tremendous political upheaval in Israel including the toppling of the government in the wake of the Gaza withdrawals. It warned about the peril the US faces if we pull out of Iraq and leave the perception that radical Islamic terrorists defeated the worlds only superpower.. A unique and dynamic exclusive interview that I was fortunate enough to conduct with Binyamin Netanyahu while in Jerusalem was also rejected from being aired on this week s show. The feeling must be that honestly reporting news on current issues concerning radical Islam is thwarting evangelism to Muslims at large, particularly Palestinians. I personally believe that both Christian Palestinians and moderate Muslims who are being intimidated and persecuted by the radicals actually welcome honest reporting on the situation. The question I am compelled to ask is, If we don t tell the world the truth, then who will? The government won t. The mainstream media won t. Foreign powers won t. Al-Jazeera won t. Of course, there can and will always be disagreements about style and aesthetics in programming. But I can t understand how any Christian that is aware of the dangers radical Islam poses to our nation, Christians worldwide and the nation of Israel can issue a mandate to soft-pedal the truth about it.

16 Not only do Christians need to hear the truth, but also nations and their leaders need to hear. Young people who are being seduced by our liberal anti-god Universities and the media into believing lies need to hear the unvarnished truth. The prevailing ignorance about Fundamental Islam also affects our ability to resist Satan s attacks and our ability to effectively share Christ with those who are deceived by Islam. Our ability to intercede wisely for our nation, our families and Israel are all based on our access to accurate information. And that s the kind of information I have conscientiously and prayerfully sought to disseminate through the Holy Spirit s power over the International Intelligence Briefing for the past twelve years. As the Bible predicted would happen in the days just before Christ s return, Israel is hated by almost the entire world. I believe there never has been a time when Christians need to support Israel s right to exist within secure borders more than now. God has vowed, He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her. Not standing with Israel against her avid enemies today is like being silent when the NAZIS took the Jews and exterminated them in their death camps. This I cannot and will not do. This concern has been at the center of my message from the beginning of my prophetic ministry 47 years ago. Israel is God s timepiece. If you want to know what time it is on God s prophetic clock, watch what He is doing with Israel. The Bible s prophetic scenario indicates that Israel is near its date with destiny. God also warns the nations surrounding Israel that they are going to be catastrophically judged for seeking to thwart His predicted will to restore Israel to its ancient homeland that was once and for all given to them by His Divine oath. Ezekiel directly predicted the situation we see in the Land of Israel today. And he warned the surrounding nations, which are all Muslim today. This is what he predicted, Therefore thus says the Lord God, Surely in the fire of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom (Arab people), who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn of soul, to drive it out for a prey. Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, Thus says the Lord God, Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath because you have endured the insults of the nations. Therefore thus says the Lord God, I have sworn that surely the nations which are around you will themselves endure their insults. But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come. (Ezekiel 36:5-8 NAS) Israel has come home and the desolate land has responded to them with miraculous fertility. Now the surrounding Muslim nations are seeking to cast them out again. All this is being fulfilled before our eyes. Islam stands in direct defiance of God s predicted purpose. The Koran declares that the Jews added prophetic passages like the one above and they are therefore false. But if they are false, why are they so accurately being fulfilled? Even many Arab Christians do not want to accept these clear Biblical statements. The fact that they have been in the Holy Land for a few centuries as usurpers does not annul the irrevocable title deed God gave to the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. It is for this reason I have so adamantly continued to explain prophecy and expose current Muslim schemes to destroy the nation of Israel. With Martin Luther, I feel

17 compelled to say that it is here I stand. God help me, I cannot do otherwise than to fulfill His Divine calling. The Muslims who reject God s sovereign purposes with Israel wouldn t believe the Gospel anyway. Make no mistake; I deeply love the Trinity Broadcasting Network. I have been intimately involved with this incredible worldwide ministry for over three decades. Actually from its very beginning. More than most, I know and appreciate the tremendous sacrifices its founders made to build it. I deeply appreciate the platform TBN has given me in years past. I honestly believe there are few organizations in operation today that can play as great a role in the end-time harvest as TBN. I truly believe TBN s greatest days could be yet to come. So in this hour of crisis, I need your prayers and your support. I live by faith. I believe that those of you who have been blessed by my ministry will continue to invest in my calling and make it possible for me continue to spread this desperately needed prophetic warning that very few are proclaiming. The decision makers at TBN also need your prayers. This could be a disastrous turn in their ministry. God will not be mocked in the things that He makes clear are precious to Him. God bless you and reward you for your prayers and faithful support. Hal Lindsey This is the promise the Lord directed me to claim: No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me, declares the LORD. (Isaiah 54:17 NIV) Combat faith is now on. To me, TBN ministers are like TIM LAHAYE: MASONIC IMPOSTERS. I don t perceive Hal Lindsey as an imposter, but as a genuine believer in Jesus who believes in what he is saying and teaching. Is Hal Lindsey an imposter committing a publicity stunt with TBN ministries? I would hope not. If this is a publicity stunt, I would gladly reject Hal Lindsey as a false prophet, since some of what he says is Scripturally inaccurate anyways. However, I definitely support his comments about Israel and his comments about Islamic aggression against Israel. I completely support Hal Lindsey during this time of distress for him being pulled from TBN. I only wish that he didn t have to depend on TBN for air space to get his message out. Therefore, I would encourage you to visit to find out what Hal Lindsey believes in. Although Sunstar would disagree with most of Hal s theology, what happened in his exile from TBN is a disgrace and I completely support his return to any news station that will broadcast his show. I cast my vote for the return of Hal Lindsey to TBN as the only legitimate prophecy teacher whose message and content is trustworthy and true. I will never support those TBN imposters, but I will support Zola Levitt, Charles Stanley, and Hal Lindsey, the only decent programs that TBN had on their airwaves. Now TBN is

18 destined to go under and I hope TBN survives God s wrath for the many sins of mockery they have made of our great faith and heritage in Jesus Christ. I give a thumbs up for Hal Lindsey and a thumbs down to TBN permanently. Would you like to read Sunstar s research on some of these TBN imposters? It goes deeper than what you read from other believers: All you really have to do is spend a minute looking at Mister and Mrs. Crouch Senior and Junior and realize that they are not representatives of Christian Faith and Practice. Regard them with the utmost disrespect as imposters. What are some TBN Masonic affiliations? Check this out! BENNY HINN AGENT OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR WHY IS BENNY HINN AIDING AND ABETTING THE TEMPLAR TAKEOVER OF ISRAEL? And why is Benny working with Templar organizations that promote the ordination of homosexuals? The following report confirms our suspicions that the Knights Templar are conducting the present crusade in the Middle East to establish a base for their planned invasion of Israel. These modern-day knights are also forming a religious coalition to mollify Israel with a phony peace treaty and to rebuild the Temple of Solomon, from which venue the Bible states the Antichrist will rule over a Masonic one-world religion and government. The report also reveals that Charismatic healer, Benny Hinn, is involved in this religiopolitical initiative and working closely with an Anglican Templar/Jesuit organization that promotes the ordination of homosexuals. It seems that Benny Hinn's assignment in the Templars current Crusade is "to get the US Evangelical leaders to be in favour of the Middle East Peace Process." The ICR Middle East Update from Knight Templar Andrew White dated 13th February 2004 stated: "Benny had phoned me whilst in the US last week stating that he wanted to meet me soon. It just so happened we were both in Dubai the same day. This was in relation to our need to get the US Evangelical leaders to be in favour of the Middle East Peace Process. We met at his hotel for breakfast on Thursday morning. He explained that he had heard much about our work and wanted to support it. He has also said that he will

19 come to Israel with us ASAP. Both the Israelis and Palestinians are very keen that he should come on board with the Alexandria Process." So Benny Hinn is participating in the deceptive peace process which will mislead the Jews to receive a false Christ, who will drive them from the Holy Land which will then become the headquarters of said Antichrist who will place the Abomination of Desolation in the Temple (Matt. 24:16) and proclaim himself to be God. "...that man of sin...the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." (II Thes.2:3-4) Evangelical Christians seem strangely ignorant of these end-time prophecies, judging from their support for the Antichrist's program with millions of dollars in donations to ministries like Benny Hinn s -- $$$$$$ that will be spent rebuilding the Masonic Temple of Solomon. The Anglican Templar organization with Jesuit leadership that Benny works with also promotes Christian reconciliation with homosexuals and the ordination of homosexuals as ministers, priests and bishops. The Knights Templar were the powerful medieval chivalric order from which the present orders of Freemasonry evolved. They claim to be working to restore traditional values, however, the evidence of history presents a rather different testimony as to moral values of the Templars. Dr. Cathy Burns wrote of the homosexual proclivities of the medieval Templars in her book, Hidden Secrets of the Eastern Star: "In the book entitled The Guilt of the Templars, we are told that 'the Knights Templars' confessions show them to have been basically homosexual warrior order...' Other chargers were that the Knights Templar participated in black magic and pederasty (anal intercourse, usually with a boy). They practiced 'phallicism or sex-worship and Satanism and venerated 'The Baphomet,' the idol of the Luciferians. The crime of sodomy was a rite of Templar initiation." (p.104) Documentation of Benny Hinn's collaboration with this Antichrist organization with links to the UN, CFR and the Jesuits has been submitted by Dennis Rhodes of Australia. BENNY HINN: AGENT FOR THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR By Dennis Rhodes On the morning of 5/24/2004 in Perth Western Australia on "This Is Your Day", Benny Hinn hosted Canon Andrew White, the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury's representative in the Middle East. White was spruking off about getting Benny into Iraq for a crusade in which he (White) says many thousands of Iraqis will be saved. On searching White in Google I found that he is a major tool in the devil's hands to unite all faiths. Added to this, White is a regular speaker for Mahesh Chavda's conferences in the U.K.

20 "In 1998, Andrew was installed as Director of International Ministry for the Diocese and Cathedral of Coventry. Since then he has headed up Coventry s International Ministry of Reconciliation, more recently with Canon Justin Welby, which includes conflict resolution and the Community of the Cross of Nails, with centres in over 50 countries." Also, White is linked with Lord George Carey who was the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury but is now partners with James Wolfenson (CFR) of the World Bank organisation, whose aims are to unite the three faiths in the Middle East. Benny Hinn on his T.V. show, "This Is Your Day," had Canon White as a guest during this last week (end of May 04). Hinn repeatedly said to the camera and his studio audience that, 'This is a Man of God people, filled with the Spirit." Hinn commented that it is amazing how God has White in the Middle East with all of his connections... White, for his part on the show, said that Benny should come to the Middle East and that White would arrange it, that thousands would be saved. Hinn said that he met White in the Dubai airport previously and that he wanted him to come on his show. If you read White's website on his involvement with Hinn it is a bit different. "Benny had phoned me whilst in the US last week stating that he wanted to meet me soon. It just so happened we were both in Dubai the same day... This was in relation to our need to get the US Evangelical leaders to be in favour of the Middle East Peace Process...he had heard much about our work and wanted to support it." Both White and Benny have "a need to get the US Evangelicals to be in favour."... That is why Benny had him on his show I think. He is selling White AS A MAN OF GOD and thus selling what White stands for and believes to the Evangelicals of USA. I assume that Hinn does not join himself to any ministry without first checking it out?? ANDREW WHITE IS AN ASSOCIATE OF MAHESH CHAVDA AND TODD BENTLEY Andrew White was one of the main speakers at this Mahesh Chavda Conference "Ushering in the Glory" April Andrew White was a speaker at another conference put on by Chavda, with Todd Bentley: September 2003 "Signs and Wonders Conference." Todd Bentley claims that the Lord told him an angel named "Healing Revival" has now come to Bentley to bring miracles of healing in his ministry. Bentley said that the Lord told him that this angel is the same one that was with William Branham in the Latter Rain revival in the late 40's /early 50's!!! Todd Bentley recently said of the Revival and Emerging Apostolic Movement... "Somebody ed our ministry and asked a valid question. He said, 'Todd, you are going to have all these men - prophets and apostles - get together and talk about the emerging apostolic movement. My fear would be

21 This is Todd telling how Branham and himself operate through the agency of an angel and not the the Holy Spirit... Living in the Supernatural & Opening Our Eyes to the Angelic Realm SO CANON ANDREW IS A CONFERENCE SPEAKER ON A PAR WITH TODD BENTLEY. HINN AND CHAVDA KNOW ONE ANOTHER WELL AS SUZANNE HINN ALSO SPEAKS AT HIS CONFERENCES. SO IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME CHAVDA OR SUZANNE HINN PUT WHITE ONTO BENNY HINN. WHY?? WHITE IS FOLLOWING ORDERS FROM CAREY AND WOLFENSON AND THE PENTAGON TO USE RELIGION (HINN) TO BRING "TRANSFORMATION" IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE TYPE OF RELIGION THAT BRINGS A FALSE PEACE INDUCED BY REPETITIVE WORSHIP AND THAT RELIES ON THE PARTICIPANTS BEING PASSIVE IN THEIR MINDS! FALSE HEALINGS AND MIRACLES IN THE MIDDLE EAST WORKED BY A FALSE TEACHER/PROPHET. HINN IS SKILLED IN BRINGING THE MASS CROWD TO A PLACE OF PASSIVITY AS THEY ALL FOCUS ON THEIR GNOSTIC "JESUS" WANTING DESPERATELY TO SEE HIM, BE TOUCHED BY HIM AND OTHER NON-BIBLICAL EXPERIENCES. WATCHMAN NEE SAID IT WELL WHEN HE STATED IN THE SPIRITUAL MAN: "...in order for evil spirits to work on man, it is necessary that man's mind and will be completely empty and passive. Evil spirits rejoice exceedingly at all who fulfill this condition and immediately go to work. When a 'heathen' fulfills this condition, evil spirits will possess him; when a believer fulfills this condition, evil spirits will also come into him without any reservation." THE SHOFAR IS BLOWING that there wouldn't be a representation of the Goths, the Punks and the Ravers - the whole underground world that God is moving in today - the movement that offends and scares most people in the church. You know - the punked and colored hair with all the earrings and piercings in every part of the body. Is there not room for true apostle and prophets in that subculture?' From that question I realized that we need to be very careful in the whole new emerging (apostolic) movement, not to just package it how we think it should look. I am going to make some statements now: There are punk apostles; there are biker prophets; there are ravers that are apostles; there are skinheads that are part of this prophetic movement...i don't have any here right now. I'd be the closest thing. We must not forget that these (sub-cultures) have a voice in this whole prophetic movement too. The teenage apostles and the teenage prophets are being raised up, and it's also happening in other spheres of life too." [Revival Now] Editor: If you don't know what the

22 Goths, the Punks and the Ravers are, you can read up on these teenage death cults at: The Graveyard Scene. Another prayer link for White. The prophetic word below was for White. "HE S RIDING A WHITE HORSE" - (A "prophetic prayer" from a misguided "brother" for Andrew White the Templar!-Ed) "Iraq was ancient Babylon. Saddam s main purpose was to restore ancient Babylon. In one of Saddam s palaces, there is a room called the throne room. It was the seat of Saddam s power. After the fighting in Iraq, allied forces turned that throne room into a chapel. Today, prayer is offered three times a day, and there are Bibles all over the place. Canon Andrew White is the personal ambassador of the archbishop of Canterbury to the Middle East. Andrew White told us of his trip to Baghdad that he made after the May conference here at watch headquarters. He said he knew that he needed the glory that was at the conference, especially on Saturday night, to go with him on that trip. Bonnie gave him our live worship watch CD. He played two songs all the way on that 14 hour journey, but primarily the song, We Will Ride. Andrew calls it the white horse song from one line that says, He has fire in His eyes and a sword in His hand; He s riding a white horse across that land. He told us that the first song played in that chapel was the white horse song. Then he noticed on the ceiling there s a dome, and painted all around the dome are beautiful white horses that Saddam had ordered be painted there. Amazing story" Re me mbe r that a Knights Templar symbol is 2 riders on a horse with a sword/lance. (right) Also, the logo of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is a rider on a white horse. (below) James D. Wolfenson, President of the World Bank, who partners with former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, and works with Knight Templar, Canon Andrew White, to bring about Reconciliation in the Mideast, is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL WEBSITE OF THE KINGHTS TEMPLAR

23 White himself was awarded the medal of merit "Canon Andrew White has been awarded two major awards for his inter-faith work in the Middle East. "The first was presented on Saturday 7th September in Germany by the Knights Templar of Jerusalem. Canon White was admitted as a Companion of Honour the orders highest award in recognition of his services to Jerusalem. The Grand Magisterial Council of Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani dates back to the time of the Crusades though the endeavours of the order today are very different from the original aims of the crusaders." Simon Le Fevre Grand Prior of England & Wales The Autumn Magistral Council Meetings in Büdingen 7-9 November 2003 seem to have been a great success with a record attendance. Read the report on this too! Budingen 2003: A Personal Recollection Post Büdingen The meetings of the Magistral Grand Council of OSMTH - Knights Templar International took place in the autumn of 2003, under the auspices of the Grand Priory of the USA, in the medieval town of Budingen, a few tens of miles north east of Frankfurt-am-Main in Germany...." The Reverend Canon Andrew White, the Archbishop of Canterbury's Representative in the Holy Land & the Middle East, told movingly of his work in helping children,..." SO ANDREW WHITE SPOKE AT THE MAHESH CHAVDA "SIGNS AND WONDERS CONFERENCE" SEPTEMBER 2003 AND THEN AT THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR INTERNATIONAL GRAND COUNCIL IN BÜDINGEN, GERMANY FROM 7-9 NOVEMBER News Flash! As the Archbishop of Canterbury s Special Representative to the Middle East, Canon Andrew White co-ordinates the religious track of the Middle East "peace process." Heading up the work of reconciliation at White's Coventry Cathedral for the past several years has been Georges Sada, a former Air Vice Marshall in the army of Saddam Hussein. Recently, however, Sada was chosen to be chief advisor and spokesman for the new Prime Minister of Iraq, Iyad Allawi! Iyad Allawi is a former CIA operative who formed a terrorist organization which conducted a bombing campaign and sabotage operations in Iraq in the early 1990s. As disclosed in a recent New York Times article, the bombing campaign was reported to have caused civilian casualties but never threatened the rule of Saddam Hussein.

24 Ironically, Saddam Hussein was also put into power in 1968 by the CIA. See Update below. WHITE IS NOT A MAN OF GOD White saw nothing wrong with accepting an award from a Knights Templar group. White's CCN counterpart in USA, Rev. James A Diamond is an Jesuittrained Ignatius Director, whose church in Cincinnati are wanting to bring Reconciliation with the homosexual community and who believe in the ordination of Homosexual priest Gene Robinson. White is still involved with Dr George Carey and with Diamond in the Middle East to bring so called Reconciliation (another word for the joining of religions) between the three monotheistic religions. White's church choir led worship in a Buddhist meeting place to "god". White is called "Templar Knight Canon Andrew White of the British Anglican Church (Second Row, Gray Suit)." [Knightgraphs: Iraq Photo Journal shows the major role played by Canon White and the Knights Templar in the conquest of Iraq and the Mideast "peace process."] White's U.S.A. Community of the Cross Nails man, James Diamond said, "I will be joining Canon White and Lord Carey (the former Archbishop of Canterbury) in Jerusalem later this week for another effort in the Alexandria accord." April (Website of President of CCN USA James Diamond) So Benny Hinn has joined to this man White, and by association to Carey (World Bank involvement) and to Diamond (Occultic Ignatius Loyola exercises) Also added to this is the disturbing involvement of the U.N. and the World Bank and the Pentagon and Rumsfeld etc etc. These groups are loyal to the age old plan to establish a New World Order with it's accompanying one world HARLOT church. The stated aim of the World Bank and the U.N. is to have DIALOGUE between the 3 monotheistic faiths in the Middle East. This will bring the false peace that the Scriptures speak of 1 Thess 5:3. Not just words though but words that lead to action. They are painting the picture that Muslims and Jews and Christians all worship the same God. There will be a constant push to forget differences and join together. Lord Carey's site, The World Faith Development Dialogue site accessed through the World Bank site....this is Lord Carey's site in association with James D. Wolfenson, the President of the World Bank (Bilderberger, CFR, Tri Lateral Commission) Read what Wolfenson and Carey have to say on the manipulation of religion... President World Bank. James D. Wolfensohn

25 FAITH AND DEVELOPMENT "The World Bank's engagement with the religious community involves three key areas:" "Dialogue" entails a willingness to listen and learn, and to be transformed by the exchange. "...it has increasingly been recognized that the religious community can play a pivotal role in building bridges, contributing to change and continuity among communities, and addressing today's central development challenges. Through dialogue and engagement, many have come to see that religious institutions and actors have an important contribution to make to the critical debates about the broad global agenda for the new millennium." The globalists or Illuminati have come to see that they can use religion for their goals. Hinn is just another important "actor" in this process. The ecumenical movement is making room for the entry of the Charismatics through Hinn's direct involvement! "Yet, many western societies have followed a model where there was a distinct separation between "church" and "state"... "Today's events and challenges present new questions about these divides and walls, and call for a new series of bridges." From the above quote from the World Bank we can see that their agenda is to join the state and religion together through dialogue designed to bring transformation and change. We know from scripture that Antichrist will rule a religious kingdom with the false Harlot church riding the political beast. This dialogue the World Bank has CAREY AND WHITE AND DIAMOND AND NOW POSSIBLY HINN INVOLVED IN is to form this Harlot church in the Middle East! "Mr. Wolfensohn believes that September 11, 2001 may well have marked the start of an important paradigm shift in thinking about the links between globalization, international relations, and religion. We have witnessed in the post 9/11 period an extraordinary outpouring of thinking in all areas of endeavor. This has brought the links between religion and development into much sharper focus, brought the dialogue to the mainstream, and given new impetus to the global development agenda. Above all, questions about social justice - what it means, how it can be achieved, how it is tied

26 to peace and stability, and who is responsible - are central in global debate and dialogue." (from the World Bank site) From the quote above, this paradigm shift is exactly what is happening. The shift they have always planned for. "Let's forget about our differences and join together in one big family." "a brotherhood of man."... Today I received a video from the States and it was wrapped in newspaper. The South Carolina paper "The State" from 5/25/04 carried the Bush speech to the Army War College. In it he said, "We believe that when all Middle Eastern peoples are finally allowed to live and think and work and worship as free men and women, they will reclaim the greatness of their own heritage. And when that day comes, the bitterness and burning hatreds that feed terrorism will fade and die away." p.a5 Reading between the lines, what the administration is saying, I believe, is that they intend to "liberate" ALL the peoples of the Middle East! Iraq is their launching pad into the entire region. For what? To bring so called "democracy" to ALL the peoples of the Middle East. The Templars and the Freemasons want Jerusalem. Antichrist (Satan) wants it too. The U.N. was set up for this very thing! Andrew White has meetings with the Pentagon top brass and is actively trying to get the Evangelical leaders on board his agenda for "peace and safety" in the Middle East. Funny that one of those leaders is Tim La Haye who used a Knights Templar Rosy Cross on his book cover and a Masonic symbol on another.. The following link explains what Cross of Nails is, from a member's viewpoint: THE US PRESIDENT OF CROSS OF NAILS-- An IGNATIUS (Loyola) DIRECTOR!! Chapel of the Cross Center of the Cross of Nails Interfaith Award to Canon White US President of the Community of the Cross of Nails - James Diamond "Diamond concluded the commissioning service, 'Will you be guided on the journey of reconciliation by prayer and hospitality as inspired by the Rule of Benedict?' The congregation's response resounded through the great cathedral: 'We will with God's help.'

27 "St. Benedict's sixth-century 'rules' for a way of living are the heart of the Community of the Cross of Nails program at St. Mark's and at 240 other centers located in 60 countries. At the core of the program are 'Hospitality and Reconciliation Circles' which are small groups that meet monthly to pursue the Benedictine Way. Over 130 persons in the St. Mark's congregation are currently participating in this in-depth journey into reconciliation and more join each month." [Monasteries were/are fronts for occult activity, sexual perversion, the promotion of asceticism and Merovingian infiltration of the Church. See: Heeding Bible Prophecy: Monastic Communities] HOMOSEXUAL PRIEST SPEAKS AT THEIR CONFERENCE. Good one BENNY!!! "It was also announced that St. Mark's will host a national Cross of Nails conference in June on the topic of sexual orientation reconciliation. One of the speakers will be the Right Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Bishop Coadjutor of New Hampshire, whose election and confirmation as the first openly-gay bishop in the Christian church, has caused international controversy. Bishop Robinson will also be the preacher at St. Mark's on June 20, 2004." U.S. President of "cross of nails" gives consent for ordination of a Homosexual - a snip from Rev Diamond's sermon. "You and I know that we can quote various disconnected verses from Genesis, Leviticus and Romans and we can find in those parts of the Hebrew text and in the Epistles uncompromising words that condemn homosexual acts. Taking verses out of context and out of history is not a responsible use of Scripture. I suggest to you that there are two things that balance against this use of scripture. First, Jesus commentary on homosexual activity in the gospels; it does not exist. There is not a word about homosexuality either because he forgot it, not likely; he did not think it was important, probably untrue; or perhaps he felt that we could come to understand sexual orientation on our own since it was not a matter of sin."

28 CAN YOU BELIEVE BENNY IS LINKING WITH THIS ORGANISATION?! Reconciliation Ministry - Christ Church Cathedral Alexandria Declaration Reconciliation is not a static, rule-driven endeavor, but a dynamic, living practice of relationships that allows people to know we are all within the human family, which is God's family. No one is outside," said Beverly Jones. (I thought only those in Christ were in God's Family?!) This is all linked with Andrew White. And now Benny Hinn. Promoting Homosexual ordination. Bishops with opposing views on sexuality to headline reconciliation conference Saturday, May 15, 2004 [Minnesota] When St. Mark's Cathedral, Minneapolis, officially became a center for the Community of the Cross of Nails on January 11, 2004, its Dean, the Very Rev. Spenser D. Simrill, told the congregation, "If asked to help, there is no issue we will shy away from." On June 18 and 19, St. Mark's will host a national conference, sponsored by the Community of the Cross of Nails-USA, entitled "Reconciliation and Sexuality: Youth, Families and Children." On the homosexual conference an Episcopal bishop said, "Nothing is resolved by avoidance," said Johnson. "This conference is a God-given opportunity to listen and share with one another. Whatever the outcome, these steps are necessary if we are to stay in contact, live in hope and strive for faithfulness. Gathered in Christ's name, we are assured of his presence among us. I pray we will hear and heed his voice." The Very Rev. James A. Diamond, dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Cincinnati, Ohio and president of the Community of the Cross of Nails-USA, reports that the conference has been two years in the planning and predates the actions of the 2003 General Convention of the Episcopal Church, which thrust the issue of human sexuality to the forefront. "The Community of the Cross of Nails in the United States is dedicated to projects in international and domestic reconciliation. In January of 2002, the CCN board chose reconciliation on the issue of sexual orientation as one of three domestic projects for the coming four years. Teaching the skills of reconciliation is one of the goals of the CCN especially regarding sexual orientation which is a potentially divisive issue for several Protestant denominations," Diamond said.

29 "St. Mark's Cathedral, through the hosting of historic gatherings, such as the first World Anglican Congress, in 1954, and the Presiding Bishops Forum on Global Reconciliation, in 2003, has given the larger church significant gifts of hospitality and healing," said Simrill. "It is our fervent hope that we may give such a gift again this summer." Considering that Benny " had heard much about our work and wanted to support it." I wonder why he supports their openly gay inclinations? Sermon quote by US Pres. of Community of Cross of Nails - Rev. James A Diamond. "The Community of the Cross of Nails in the United States focuses on domestic reconciliation. The board of CCN-USA has selected three priorities for the next triennium: racial reconciliation, inter-faith reconciliation, and the reconciliation necessary around sexual orientation. The scope of these three areas of domestic reconciliation allow for individuals and congregations to participate in the national committees by as all three groups plan national conferences in the next year and a half." CONCLUSION False Prophet Kim Clement prophesied before 9/11/01 that the Lord's blood would spiritually flow through the Middle East and millions of Muslims would be saved. He foresaw the WTC disaster and said America would take revenge and invade the Middle East and that the kings of the east would fall...etc. I believe he hears what the 'guiding spirits' who are behind all this mess are planning to do. So rather than a revival or harvest brought about by God and the faithful preaching of the True Gospel we will see another spirit and another Jesus and another gospel preached in the Middle East. Oh, the Charismatics and Pentecostals will rejoice! ' Look what God is doing in Iraq' they will say. When in fact it will not be God at all but the work of evil spirits acting upon passive willed and passive minded, desperate people. That's why Canon Andrew White has approached Hinn, or why Hinn has approached White, it makes no difference who initiated it. It worries me that Chavda is very focused on praying for those in charge in Iraq and in the US government. None of these so called prophets can see that the Skull and Bones leadership in the White House are not Christians at all but wolves in sheep's clothing! Hyper patriotism in the church has blinded the people to what is happening under their noses. Apart from the Templar involvement, the main thing I see is that Hinn is being recruited to go to the Middle East to bring millions (maybe) into the Harlot one world church. When I saw that White spoke at the Chavda conference in September 2003 and then went to the Knights Templar conference in November 2003, I was amazed. Like chalk and

30 cheese! Chavda's conference would have the usual manifestations of the 'presence' of god while Büdingen Germany would have been the opposite. When one reads Wolfenson's paper on Religion and Dialogue it is sinister isn't it? Using religion to bring peace. Using dialogue to bring transformation and change and eventually one religion. I wonder what Wolfenson was told at the latest Bilderberg meeting on the 6/6/(2+4) =6? It certainly seems that Hinn is being used, I hope unknowingly, by White (Carey and Wolfenson) to grow/plant the false church in the Mid East as the White House moves from nation to nation to 'liberate' ALL Middle Eastern people. Isn't that what the Templars did years ago? They claim to have a different agenda now, peace and good will...etc. Yet on their site, the same one White is on, they talk about possibly finding the 'mummified head of Christ.'!!! It is supposed to be buried under the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland along with the 'Holy Grail...doesn't sound to me like they have changed at all!" Dennis Rhodes 06/15/04 Recommended Reading: HEEDING BIBLE PROPHECY: New Military Modern-Day Knights Templar in the Holy Land UPDATE ON CANON ANDREW WHITE 6/29/04 Dennis Rhodes Here is the latest on Canon Andrew White: Iraq and the return to sovereignty By Canon Andrew White June 24, 2004 "Ten days ago I was informed that I was to be one of the few westerners to attend the ceremony of the presentation of the new Iraqi Government... "Already the Governing Council had made an announcement three days earlier that they had chosen the new Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, a doctor from Wimbledon... "In talking to the Prime Minister during the reception, I assured him that I had forgiven him for taking the most trusted member of my team to be his chief advisor and spokesman. Georges Sada who for the past six years has headed up Coventry Cathedral s work in Iraq is now running the Prime Minister and his office... "In the past week I have had several meetings with the Prime Minister from Wimbledon... ""The Iraqi people deserve such a leader and we need to support him and pray for him in the coming months. Who knows what the coming weeks will hold for this great civilisation in chaos and pain? With Georges Sada behind him, the former Air Vice Marshall [of Saddam Hussein's army] and head of the Protestant Church in Iraq, now a member of the Anglican Church in Baghdad, who knows what the Prime Minister can achieve? He only has seven months to prove himself, because then must come real elections and real democracy. It will be the next few months that will show us if this will work or not."

31 Does Andrew expect us to believe that Mr Allawi just took his most trusted man? More than likely Georges Sada was suggested to Allawi as the man the Pentagon wants. We already know that Andrew White has regular meeting with the Pentagon and with Carey. Now through his man Sada, White is effectively in charge of Iraq!! That being the case, and knowing that White has invited Benny Hinn to come to Iraq, then we should see Benny making the trip soon. With Georges Sada in the ear of the P.M., this will open the door for Hinn. The implications are that a false gospel with false wonders will be spread through the Middle East via Hinn. This is the "liberty" that GW Bush wants to bring the Muslim people into! A false liberty! Also, Benny is now going to be part of a special 24hr a day telecast of the gospel into the Middle East. Benny does preach that Jesus is the Son of God, that he came and died for our sins and rose again...true...but he is attended by another spirit not the Holy Spirit. How do I dare say that? Because the real Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth! He does not witness to twisted out of context theology... He will lead into all truth... He doesn't lead people into unbiblical passive-minded worship where they visualize their own jesus... He will not speak of Himself... He doesn't draw attention to Himself as does the spirit in Hinn's ministry. [See a few of Benny's false teachings below.] Perhaps Sada, instructed by White, will get Hinn to come to Iraq in the next 7 months so as to have "revival". The "annointing" that accompanies Hinn's meetings would bring the Globalists' dream of (False) peace in the Middle East into fruition as the people "come under" it... This will prepare the people of the Middle East for the arrival of the Antichrist and the ecumenical False Church. The sad thing is that Benny believes it is God who is leading and orchestrating his ministry. When in fact he is a trump card in the enemy's hand, having been prepared for such a time as this! The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of satan...with all lying signs and wonders...to deceive. (2 Thess 2:10) * * * BENNY HINN OR BEN HINNOM?

"God the Father is a person separate from the Holy Ghost.

He's a person, He has His own Spirit, He has a soul. A soul is my intellect. God thinks. separate from the Son and separate from the Holy Ghost. God the Father is a separate individual from the Son and the Holy Ghost, who is a triune being who walks in a spirit body and He has hair has eyes has a mouth has hands" (Orlando Christian Centre, Oct 13th 1990).

"When you say, 'I am a Christian,' you are saying, 'I am mashiach,' in the Hebrew. I am a little messiah walking on earth, in other words. That is a shocking revelation....may I say it like this? You are a little god on earth running around" (Praise-a-Thon, TBN, 6th November '90) "In my case, I know I have lost complete desire for anything to do with the world. My worldly desires are gone...i no longer have any rebellion in me." (The Anointing, p177-8.) "SO, I'M BENNY JEHOVAH!" (Spiritual warfare seminar, May ). "Say after me: 'Within me is a God-Man.' Say it again. 'Within me is a God-Man.' [Congregation repeats.] Now, let's say even better than that. Let's say, 'I AM A GOD- MAN.' This spirit man within me is a God-Man.

This year, all Masonic groups were involved in this project at the Masonic Home of Florida SEMINOLE From large Teddy bears to tiny Beanie Babies, more than 700 stuffed animals made their way to Pinellas County ready for some serious hugging. These stuffies were collected across the state as part of the Grand Chapter of Florida Eastern Star s Hospice support campaign.

43 These animals will be given to children under the care of Hospice, as well as those dealing with bereavement in their families, said Beverly Newton, the chapter s Worthy Grand Matron, who selected Hospice as her pet project for the year. The chapter will continue to hold fundraisers through April. Newton began her love for community work as an owner of her family s Barney s Motorcycle and Marine business. But those projects were short term, and Newton wanted to do more. To fulfill that desire to help, she reached back to her roots. Her great grandfather was a Mason, and she fondly remembered participating in many youth activities. In 1980, she got involved again. She s been a Seminole resident for 20 years. This year, Newton serves as the top-woman in the organization: The Worthy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Florida Eastern Star. Beverly Newton is the most dynamic, energetic and wholesome person I have ever known, said Alice Lanier, past Grand Matron and current Grand Secretary. The group backs causes like heart health, cancer support, the Shriner s Hospital and two college grant programs. Tens of thousands of dollars are donated every year by the state Eastern Star. The Salvation Army also received help from the chapter. We made clothing and got other donations of toothbrushes and toothpaste for over 100 children, said Newton. The care packages will go to Hurricane Katrina families or others that the Salvation Army wants to help. To add some spark to the organization s activities, Newton hatched the idea for a Fall Festival Extravaganza last year, Lanier said. This year, all Masonic groups were involved in this project at the Masonic Home of Florida in northeast St. Petersburg. I was very proud of the participation of the many fraternities that all joined together, said Newton. On Oct. 29 and 30, members from throughout the state attended and had vendor tables to raise money. Arts and crafts, costume contests, refreshments and lunch on the grounds topped the bill. A special reception welcomed representatives from around the state. The weekend ended with a parade in front of the Masonic Home. It was extremely successful, said Lanier. Beverly was the driving force behind its success. The Eastern Star organization is international and is the largest fraternal organization in the world that has both men and women as members. According to its national Web site, the organization is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values, but it is not a religion. Its appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work. In Florida about 23,000 members are signed up with about 25 percent of them being quite active, Newton estimated. Newton was initiated into the Eastern Star in May of 1984 and has been an officer every year and Worthy Matron four times. Our organization is a charitable one, said Lanier. Beverly has the qualities of kindness, empathy, love, humor, courage and understanding that make her a true Eastern Star.

Jeremiah Films was very instrumental in getting films out about cults, social and government issues. They filmed the Clinton Chronicles and the Foster "suicide" expose'. Their website is in existence and they still sell their videos. They published what happened at the Little Rock, Arkansas Court involving them and Citizens of Honest Government.. Two members of the Police Department in the Little Rock, Arkansas's political machine sued Pat Matrisciana, (the producer of the Clinton Chronicles) and Citizens for Honest Government. Citizens for Honest Government had asked Jeremiah Films to produce the Clinton Chronicles and others. The reason they filmed the videos was obstruction of Justice. The plaintiffs, claiming that they had been defamed in the lawsuit, obtained judgment of nearly $600,000, which Matrisciana has appealed. The trial was August 2, 1999 and the case revolved around the two teens who were placed on the railroad tracks after they were murdered. They call it the "Train Deaths" Murders. Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane, the plaintiffs, sued for $16 million even though they were named as suspects in the murder case. The mother of one of the murdered sons described the 12-year fight for justice and named Campbell and Lane as hands-on killers of her son. There were eyewitnesses. The incident was connected to a drug smuggling ring and the CIA. A former drug prosecutor Jean Duffy described massive corruption and had to flee for her life. She had evidence but Attorney Chuck Banks halted the drug-ring investigation. In spite of all this evidence Jeremiah Films and Citizens for Honest Government lost the case. 25% of the $600,000 finally settled on was to be paid by Jeremiah Films and Citizens were to pay the rest. The final result was that Jeremiah Films was exonerated from the fine but Citizens for Honest Government are now defunct. Matrisciana stated that this was a gross miscarriage of justice and said that the jury "clearly misapplied the law under the guidelines set down by the judge." The law failed to bring to justice the killers of the two boys who stumbled upon a drug drop. An appeal is being considered because this case is a First Amendment issue. Citizens for honest government were paralyzed. (The entire court proceedings are available verbatim on their website jeremiahfilms.com) back PROMISE KEEPERS

PK founder Bill McCartney is a "God-ordained, God-charged, God-led, Godsent man," Long says. But he believes McCartney's vision for racial reconciliation among men "got mixed because other men got in there and started voting on it. They did not catch the real heart of what God was doing through him," Long says. "They did not have [McCartney's] heart." The PK's pastors rally in Atlanta in 1996 was a turning point for the organization. "They missed the boat," said Bishop Long.

The sings and wonders in the church have continued. At Bill Johnson's church in Redding, California small little feathers fall from the ceiling and have been doing that for some time. Bethel has been the sight of some "awesome miracles" recently. The feathers started dropping after a Morning Star Prophet (the Ministry of Rick Joyner) visited the church for a series of meetings. Mr. Kelly a member of Bethel AOG of Redding describes the appearance of feathers: "The feathers thing has been truly amazing. I believe it started when we had the prophet Bobby Conners come to our church for a series of meetings. During ministry time people would see feathers fall from the ceiling and Bobby explained it as a sign of angelic activity.. (I thought it was dove feathers). I'm not sure if he was saying they were angel feathers or not.. But ever since he came we have seen feathers falling from the ceiling.. they are very small and delicate, and not many fall, but you can see them from a good distance.. God is always surprising us with new things. back A QUOTE FROM BOBBY CONNERS' WEBSITE

48 (End Times, September/ October 1999) Bobby Conners is a close friend of Rick Joyner. I read his newsletter on his website. Here is a quote from his newsletter: ( "The next event that happened to me was that I suddenly had pressure on my forehead. It was as if a very hot hand was being pressed against my forehead directly above my eyes. I feel that this is a sign of the Lord's marking or branding upon the foreheads of His servants. Additionally, the Lord is giving His prophets a tender heart but a hard head. The Lord said, "You will need my rest and peace upon you to make it through the things that are coming."" "REVOLUTION" is one of his keywords. ELECTROCUTED TEENS BY GOD'S POWER (TBN ) I happened to watch a rerun of Hinn's Toronto crusade and I was mortified. Benny Hinn is concentrating on young teenagers now. "Fire on these kids! Electrocuted by God's power! That's God's anointing on these kids." "Come friends look at the anointing on these kids! Let the fire come down on these young people!" The kids were totally out of control. Their legs went out from under them like rubber and they slammed down jerking and trembling all over, contorting their bodies in epileptic fashion. Hinn shouted: "Lord I give you these kids, they are electrocuted. It's the Holy Ghost on these kids. Come on up here! That's fire on you - You and I used to pray for this to happen. That's the glory of God on these kids enjoying God's fire." Benny points at one of a man on stage and electrocuted him in the spirit. He glowingly bragged that the man was a pilot of American Airlines. "Let this happen in every church in America." So-called fire came down on a large group. Benny's voice started to growl. "I never thought this would happen in Canada. I will pore out my spirit upon your sons and daughters," Hinn shouted. A woman in agony, shrieking, he couldn't pick up the young lady, and started laughing. Their bodies were all in spasms from top to bottom - shrieking people. I have never in my life seen anything as scary as that. People were laying all over the stage jerking. "Fog will hit your home and families. The same fire will come on your homes," Hinn told them. The audience was huge in a stadium in Toronto, Canada and they were told to shout "fire" in unison and the shaking got worse. Benny Hinn related that he has had experiences when he thought he was going to die. He supposedly said to the "Holy Spirit", "if you fill me anymore, I'm going to die." This is what he did to the kids on stage. He prayed over the audience that this anointing would be placed on the parents, children and grandchildren. Benny Hinn is celebrating his 25th anniversary asking $100 a plate at the celebration. He is giving up his church in Orlando and starting a Healing Center in Dallas, Texas November 1, 99. A new book is out "Divine Healing," It speaks to the river. "The Holy Spirit is the substance of Healing." [Comment: The Holy Spirit is a personage and part of the Godhead. False prophets will be judged harsher then others.] I have been waiting for someone to prove the evil spiritual activity with facts but is seems impossible. I received an urgent to get Benny's ministry shut down. This fellow like me just couldn't

49 handle what he saw anymore and has to do something to stop it. It is up to us to warn people to stay away. The danger of becoming permanently possessed is obvious. The resistance to demons is broken down little by little in the youth. The Bible states that demons will be released during the tribulation to possess people. To me it seems like they are preparing the way to eventually allow access to humans instantly. On another occasion Benny's wife Susan got into the act and stated the following: "If your engine doesn't rev up, you a need a Holy Ghost enema up your? ("spirit" my husband insisted, but my mind went to what would naturally follow. It was hard discern what she really said. We replayed it three times).

But his spirit, knowing that its earthly host was offed by a disgruntled, chronically underpaid staff member, haunts the ministry's offices, making nonstop fund-raising appeals, performing dubious, unverifiable healings, and interviewing fundamentalist pinheads. After being terrorized for weeks, petrified staff members seek professional help in exorcising their former boss (which some of them thought should have been done long before, when the guy was still alive, but that's another story) - and then the REAL action begins! If you were nauseated with terror during The Exorcist, you'll blow chunks during The Haunting of the Hinn House!" back CEPHAS MINISTRY OPPOSES CREMATION (Fox News ) BUDDHISTS BELIEVE BODIES WILL NOT REST UNLESS CREMATED! The Antichrist spirit used John F. Kennedy's untimely death mightly to plant his seed in people's minds. When John's body was sprinkled into the waves at sea it was stated: "The bodies have been returned to the sea from whence we all came." I was hoping the parents of the girls would bury their daughters in a grave but it was too easy to get it all done at once. John's cremation created a stir among Catholics. God used it for a wake-up call for Catholics. Catholic priests had a hard time explaining to their members how that could be. The membership didn't know that Vatican II had changed the rules about cremation. I looked up the Catholic definition in their Encyclopedia: "Cremation": The disposal of a dead body by burning it and reducing it to ashes. Cremation was the normal custom in the ancient civilized world, except in Egypt, Judaea and China. IT WAS REPUGNANT TO THE EARLY CHRISTIANS BECAUSE OF THE BELIEF IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY. By the fifth century, cremation had been largely abandoned in the Roman Empire because it was believed that to do so was a sign of disbelief in the immortality of the soul, as well as an act of disrespect for the body. THIS PROHIBITION WAS LIFTED IN 1963; in the revised Code of Canon Law, cremation is permitted, provided it is not done for reasons contrary to Christian Faith (cf. Canon )

50 back DOMINION CAMPMEETING: ROD PARSLEY, THE REVOLUTION PIPER (TBN ) In a meeting prior to the Dominion Campmeeting, I was amazed how similar the theme was to Rick Joyner's. Parsley's audience was mostly black. He was virtually indoctrinating them with "revolutionary agenda". The word "revolution" was used over and over. He reminded the audience of Martin Luther King by video and told the black congregation that he is trying to find people who want to invade. Get ready to invade. Revolution is not for the timid, not for the weak, but the strong and brave. Revolution means taking matters into your own hands. He admonished them to desert their denominations and come up higher. You have heard the "voice of the master??" (Parsley's voice?). Throw your notes out preachers. This is a military operation. Get that mess cleaned up. (TBN video rerun of Campmeeting ) Parsley's speaker, a black lady named Prophetess Uanita screamed at the top of her lungs, "NOW OVERTHROW THE ENEMY. HOLY GHOST OVERTHROW NOW. She kept repeating : "It's a revolution!" Tell somebody. Keywords: Dominion, revolution, overthrow over and over planted firmly into the audience's mind. "Give God a sacrifice: something you have never done before. That's a revolution. Let me tell you when you got it. I have dominion now." She began speaking in tongues without interpretation. "Going home with power and dominion forever. When you walk in dominion you multiply. Tell the devil to make my day. Devil when you put your hands on me, I multiply in the Holy Ghost." "WHERE THERE IS TROUBLE THAT IS WHERE MULTIPLYING IS GOING TO START." "Quadrupling of Holy Ghost, that's dominion. Devil is touching my job means you are getting ready for a better job. I'm in authority not you. You won't need the flesh. "I got it" I'm waiting for you to seize it. The Holy Ghost said last night, "you have to get close enough for your neighbors to smell smoke." Smell like smoke. They are going to hear your screaming.. everything that is not calling on my name and is not on my side is going down. The Holy Ghost said: "I want to pull my people of dominion out of the crowd. Rod Parsley wrote a book about the impartation "MAKE MY BABY JUMP". The baby relates to Elisabeth who carried John the Baptist in her womb. When the Virgin Mary looked at John the Baptist in her womb, the baby jumped. (TBN ) Rod Parsley preached on the transfer of wealth and to take the thing over in his name. He mocked the Scripture about the crumbs under the table. People should forget about that. God held back the wealth until now. Heap treasure together for the last husbandman early and latter rain. A transfer is going to transpire. At the right time I'm going to shove it across the table to you. You are going to give birth to something you didn't know you were pregnant with. Go get a seed [money] and put it in your hand, believing for a miracle and three days later she conceived. PUT ASIDE RELIGIOUS TRADITION. The seed has to be significant enough to get a breakthrough. Something supernatural will happen. How bad do you want a miracle. Don't you want to touch your spirit? Sow a seed for a miracle $1,000 God is moving the wealth to his people. back PAT ROBERTSON BEHIND THE SCENES

Steve Hill says the Northeast can "lead the country in revival." The crowd was estimated to be over 17,000 from eleven states. The backdrop of the massive arena ads pushing beer, pizza, and lottery tickets and gambling, the service was opened with hardhitting praise. Hill and Kilpatrick jumped and danced in the joy of the Lord. Hill preached "clean house"; get rid of pronography, while Kilpatrick shouted: "I'm ready to believe God for anything!" Manifestations were scarce. Hill and Kilpatrick got hundreds of invitations to speak in churches is why they began to travel. THE NEW JERSEY CRUSADE WAS SPEARHEADED BY AN INTERDENOMINATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE OF 15 LOCAL PASTORS WHO RAISED ALMOST HALF OF THE $215,000 BUDGET. 250 churches from several states supported the event. WE'VE COME TOGETHER IN UNITY OF THE SPIRIT," said Father Joe Romanoski of Sacred Heart, a CATHOLIC CHURCH. This is a Jesus event. (The Plumbline, July / August 1999) "It happened again today.. only more powerful, more life changing. GOD CAME. Pastor Kilpatrick came to the pulpit and said he was going to obey the moving of the Spirit and form a tunnel of faith. He began to call all the elders and deacons and the staff from BRSM (The School ministry, now 1100 strong) and then others he hand picked. They moved the chairs from across the front of the pews so we'd have room. The people forming the tunnel lined up facing each other and they began to funnel everyone through it. Those praying would stretch forth their hands, lay hands of them or just pray as they passed through.. I got my cameras out and tried to get into a

52 position where I could see some of the faces as they passed through the tunnel. I became mixed up several times because I was so close to the anointed prayers. At one point, a friend named Brian said something to me and when I turned to face him, my legs simply gave away, I got a little bit of the giggles for a moment because I had not realized I was getting to that point yet.. After over an hour the lines were still long but I didn't want to miss the tunnel so an usher let me break line. I continually bumped into everyone. When a hand touched my head or back, I would practically shriek out and go into a spin. I felt like a pin ball must feel like in one of those machines when I bumped into another across the tunnel. Once I was through the tunnel I started spinning again until I hit the floor. It was like being swept away to another place.. Soon I turned toward the crowd.. people were in trance like states all over." (Kathy Wood) "I got pastor Shumway from another AOG church to pray for me. As he turned toward me I started deep bowing until he turned touched my head and then I went electric until I crashed. My head was trying to hide in my blouse again. Ha ha ha ha. My pockets emptied my tags and certs were everywhere. I could see them but I couldn't get to them. Some people around me tried to help me up but it was no use. No one pays any attention to people like me anymore, it's a common sight here, but for a prayer team member who can manage a lot of anointing, it's a bit unusual to be so overcome. I had to set my cruise control to 35 mph." [on the way home]. "And yet another positive report of Brownsville from Sister Cathy Wood: "You asked me what's up so.. here goes! The Gott's (Ken and Lois from Sunderland AOG in the UK) are here for a conference at Brownsville. Well they seem to have an impartation for intercession and going a bit deeper in the river. They prayed for the prayer team last night for about 45 minutes before church. It was such a strong anointing. The room was full of everone behaving as if electricity was charging through us in huge waves. Uncontrollable yells were coming from us. As a matter of fact.. ouch!.. they are hitting me as I try to describe it. My head keeps on getting swallowed up by my shoulder in huge jerks as "OHHHH!" comes out of my mouth as if my voice and body are synchronized. Last night my head was in my blouse.. ha ha ha ha.. I am starting to laugh now.. whoa.. Oops.. there I go again. Sometime between 6:15 and 7:00 my arrings broke off.. who knows when? Maybe my shoulders did it!!" A MINISTER SHOCKED AT BROWNSVILLE'S SERVICE (The Plumbline, July / August 1999) An ordained minister went to Brownsville for the anointing and became disillusioned. She had this to say: "Presently I live on the gulf coast, on the Alabama/ Florida line, just 30 miles from Pensacola. After talking with numerous people about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, someone told me that I should go to Brownsville and see if I could receive the baptism there. What a shock!!! I went on time and at the end of the service, the altar call was unbelievable. People rushed forward to be prayed for. The pastor shouted "A Fresh Anointing" and swept his arm over the crowd. People all around me fell to the floor as if they had been machine-gunned. I stood alone in the midst of approximately bodies while others rushed over those people

53 to receive a similar experience. Again the same thing happened and again I was left standing in what was becoming a pile of bodies. These people were out cold, as if they had been knocked unconscious. Ministers began to move through the crowd, praying for people and laying hands on those who requested prayer. I was interested in one young girl about 17 who stood very rigid, shaking uncontrollably, muttering strange noises with her eyes rolled back in her head. I have seen demon-possessed people before, and I am convinced she was under the influence of one or more very powerful demonic beings. The ministers said a short prayer for her, laid hands on her and she fell backwards to land on the steps of the altar, jerking and convulsing and moaning.. when I left after midnight the girl was still on the steps of the altar shaking and convulsing and no one paying attention to her.. I must say right here that I have not received the baptism of the Spirit and cannot speak in tongues.. I went there wanting to be filled with the Spirit, the HOLY Spirit. And all I saw were people falling down, some barking like dogs, many jerking like stand-ins at a horror movie, and people being walked on after they hit the floor by people being totally selfish. Am I missing something here? May I ask a question? As an ordained minister, seeking the baptism of the Spirit, where do I go? I will not go back to Brownsville." back SODOM AND GOMORRAH FOUND!! According to presidential hopeful George Bush, Jr. the United States is slouching toward Sodom and Gomorrah. Charisma Magazine (9.99) states that Ron Wyatt found it 10 years ago along a 60-mile stretch between the northern and southern tips of the Dead Sea. The crumbling outline of walls and buildings, including sphinx-shaped formations, rise about mountains to ash. Embedded in the ruins are millions of pale yellow sulfur balls, which Wyatt claims is the brimstone that rained on the cities. Sulfur in such a pure form, in rounded balls, isn't found anywhere except in this region. ( back GERMANY CONSIDERS CHARISMATICS A SECT (Cult) (Charisma, 9.99) In official publications in Germany, Charismatics are lumped together with sects which often include Satanists as potential dangers to the psychological well being of individuals. Public opposition to minority religions in Germany in the last 10 years created strange allies. Jones and a small number of Christians openly cooperated with the Church of Scientology by participating in U.S. Senate hearings into religious persecution in Germany. Christian Scientists, Jehovah's Witnesses and members of the Unification Church work together with charismatic Christians to defend themselves against possible organized persecution. back A POLITICALLY CORRECT INVITATION FROM LOCAL CHURCHES

54 We received an invitation on our doorknob, which included "The Book of Hope" by Tyndale House Publishers based on the New Living Bible Translation by Greg Laurie. "In Unity First Presbyterian Church and First Church of the Nazarene bring this wonderful hope and invite you to ATTEND THE LOCAL CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE [ala Billy Graham] Offering, Men's Club, Supper Club, Volunteer Teachers, Food Locker along with the usual. [They need volunteers] back POKEMON (The End Times, September/October 1999) Fellowshipping with Devils - The games our children and young people play have become largely "games of fellowship with devils." Nintendo has a proven record of introducing paganism to the world of games. They boast years ago that they would change the gods worshipped in America. They are well on their way. It is amazing that Pokemon (short for POCKEt Monster) games, toys, videos, etc., is manufactured and distributed by Nintendo, which is a wholly-owned Japanese company. Their American headquarters is in Redmond, Washington. Their website makes some incredible suggestions. Here are a few: "Carry your Pokemon (POCKEt MONster) with you, and you're ready for anything! You've got the power in your hands, so use it!." "You can catch a MEW by cheating with a Gameshark." "Ahhh, Gameshark.. Cheating is not honorable. But many of you have requested and sent me this information, so I have put it up for all you cheaters." "The Moon Stone evolves certain Pokemon (POCKEt MONster), such as Clefary." "Select your desired attack. Hold down the button until your opponent's life stops draining." "Once you have captured Zapados, you can use it to quickly lower the health level of Articuno.. " It is very clear as we look at Nintendo's record that their games have been nothing but an introduction to devils and demons from their beginning. Freemasonry Update: We have been given a copy of the 32nd degree ritual from the Authentic Scottish Rite Ritual. A 32nd degree freemason, at personal risk, copied the source documents for us. Another 32nd degree freemason who has been set free, and renounced Lucifer's religion of freemasonry, has reviewed and verified that the ritual documents are genuine. The actual words from these copies will be boldened. I will say no more regarding the source, so do not bother asking. You will either know the truth, by the Spirit of Truth, or reject it.

55 Key of the Royal Secret - Freemasonry's Divine Light, and Divine Word, their Ineffable Word in the ritual is -- AGNI -- USHAS -- MITRA. The only words not spoken and not allowed in the tolerant Luciferian religion of freemasonry is Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah. The reason is because freemasonry is MITHRAISM. MITRA or Mithra is the Persian god and the mystery religion devoted to his worship. Make no mistake about it, Mithra is Lucifer or Satan. The god Mitra or Mithra was originally a Persian deity considered to be the mediator between mankind and Ahura-Mazda, god of light. (Lucifer the light bearer 2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.2 Cor 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.) This god overcame evil and brought life, both animal and vegetable, to humankind. Statues of Mithra characteristically show him holding a bull by the nostrils while plunging a knife into its neck. The Romans identified Mithra with the sun god. December 25 was celebrated as his birthday. Three traditions relate the birth of Mithra: (1) he was born of an incestuous relationship between Ahura-Mazda and his own mother; (2) he was born of an ordinary mortal; (3) Mithra was born from a rock. After his redemptive work on earth was finished, Mithra partook of a last supper with some of his devotees and then ascended to heaven, where he continues to assist the faithful in their struggle against demons. From the freemason's own high level ritual we see MITRA identified and defined: MITRA -- The fire, the dawn, the morning star. (Lucifer, not Yeshua or Jesus, is the god of freemasonry) Make no mistake about it freemasonry is Mithraism, the worship of Mithra, which is one of the many names of Lucifer or Satan the devil. Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning (Lucifer usurps Yeshua's title of the morning star)! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! AGNI is another part of the freemason's Ineffable Word. From the 32nd degree ritual we are informed of AGNI who was borrowed from the Hindu worship of Lucifer or Mithra before the Persians named him Mitra. AGNI, INDRA, and VISHNU: Fire, Light, and Heat, the first trinity and

56 their manifestation in the skies. The interpretations of these symbols will reveal the Holy Doctrine. The one great idea from which they have been unfolded is the Royal Secret. Few appreciate as they should its (the Royal Secret of freemasonry) exalted morality making it the law for their daily lives, and fewer care for and value the great truth of its philosophy and religion. (Royal Secret - the religion of freemasonry worships Lucifer as god) You are not doing an idle thing to learn the Royal Secret. The Aryan kinsmen of our ancestors... so worshipping their Deities, and creating Light, what should ascend to the skies to invigorate and replenish INDRA, the universal light, the planets and stars that had once been men, their ancestors. The symbols of Free Masonry conceal, even in the Master's Lodge, the Holy Doctrine and the Royal Secret. As kinsmen of our Aryan ancestors sacrificed in Indra and Ahura, sacrifice thou with an offering of incense to the God in whom thou doest put thy trust. In the 14th degree the seeker of the Royal Secret was Baptized and hailed a Soldier of the Truth of Ahura-Mazda, one of Lucifer's many names and counterfeits of the True God. In the 32nd degree, Now you desire to become Priest and King. The 32nd degree gives the Royal Secret and make the initiate a Priest and King of Ahura-Mazda, one of Lucifer's many names. The Irano-Aryans sacrificed before dawn to Mitra, the morning star. As the kinsmen of our Aryan ancestors sacrificed to Serpenta Mainyu, the divine wisdom, sacrifice thou with an offering of incense to the God in whom thou doest put thy trust. Yes, the 32nd degree seekers of the Royal Secret of freemasonry offer incense to the Serpent god, Serpenta Manyu. Serpenta Mainyu is another of Lucifer's many names. After offering more incense to Lucifer, the seeker of the Royal Secret, in his 32nd degree ritual makes more vows before he gets the Luciferian baptism of the 32nd degree. He vows: I do most solemnly vow and promise, that I will be until I die the implacable enemy of all spiritual tyranny, (i.e.. conformity to the Authorized scriptures), over souls and consciences of men, resisting all claims of church, synagogue, and mosque to outlaw free conscience and enslave thought and opinion, and compel men to believe what it may prescribe. The antichrist nature of such a vow is seen in many scriptures such as:

57 Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 1 Pet 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. 2 Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Then the seeker of the Royal Secret in the 32nd degree ritual receives the following pronouncement as he gets this Luciferian baptism of the 32nd degree: As kinsmen of our Aryan ancestors were sanctified with the Zaothra, ( Zoroastrian religion is the same as the Luciferian polytheistic religion of Mazdaism, with its chief god being Lucifer going by his alias Ahura-Mazda), or consecrated water, and there-by devoted to the service of Ahura. It is a baptism and consecration to the service of Ahura, Lucifer. The Royal Secret is that the 32nd degree freemason has been baptized and consecrated to the service of Lucifer, whether he knows it or not. If he has shown sufficient interest in the occult in his pursuit of the degrees, one in 20, or 5%, of the 32nd degree freemasons are invited to pursue their service to Lucifer in the Illuminati. After this Luciferian baptism and consecration, the 32nd degree seeker of the Royal Secret is questioned as follows: If you are ready to bind yourself to the strict, punctual, unremitting performance at all points, in every place, and at all times your duties as Perfect Elu, Prince of Jeru, Knight of Rose Croix, Knight of the Sun, St. Andrew and Kodosh and Master of the Royal Secret, as these have been declared you, go and stand at the west side of the Altar of Obligation facing the east.

58 The seeker of the Royal Secret in the 32nd degree thus position takes his 4 th vow of allegiance to this Luciferian religion. He then is voted OK by the other Masters of the Royal Secret, and is led to: Kneel at the altar, laying thy left hand upon the book of constitutions and the symbol of Deity. (Lights go down and voices are heard saying) One is three, three is one, Agni, Ushas, Mitra. One is three, three is one, Ahura, Mazda, Cepenta, Mainyu, Vohu-mano. Other things are said which in biblical context and how they are performed in this ritual are blasphemous. Then the seeker of the Royal Secret of freemasonry in the 32nd degree ritual is told: It will be explained to thee when thou shalt become entitled to the explanation. The voices thou hast heard, give thee the key of interpretation. He then receives the emblems of his 32nd degree, the dark cordon and the Teutonic Cross of gold the jewel of the order. He is then told: You now know the holy doctrine, and have the Royal Secret. If the mind, reason, intellect and intelligence of man is a part of the universal supreme mind, intellect, intelligence he may well have lofty aspirations and high ambition for he is capable of great things. We need to tell these poor dupes of freemasonry in the 32nd degree, or any degree, that the Royal Secret of freemasonry is that Lucifer is the god of freemasonry. God is not pleased if, even in ignorance, one stays involved in a religion of Lucifer, Satan, the Devil. We need to tell these dupes of freemasonry that the religion of

59 freemasonry will most assuredly take them to hell unless they fully renounce it. That is speaking the truth in love. You don't love someone by tolerating and saying that something that will take them to hell is OK. That is not love. There is absolutely no place in the true Church of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Messiah, for any freemason worshiper of Lucifer as god. Whether he knows it or not, we must tell them to remit, renounce, and get out of Lucifer's religion and put the sin of involvement with freemasonry under the Blood of Yeshua. Everyone goes into the freemason Luciferian religion by ignorance. Their ignorance bringing them into and keeping them in freemasonry is no excuse for us to lead them to think that remaining in freemasonry and failing to renounce freemasonry and its god Lucifer, is OK.

60 Here is a good prayer for those wanting the freedom Messiah offers to those bound by Lucifer in the religion of freemasonry. Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Breaking Free from Bondage John 8:36 "...if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." Freedom Prayer Lord, I repent and ask your forgiveness if I am now or have ever dominated or controlled anyone contrary to the perfect will of God.

61 In the Name of Yeshua Messiah, I now renounce, break and loose myself from all domination and subjection to my mother, father, grandparents or any other human being, living or dead that has ever in the past or is now dominating or controlling me in any way contrary to the perfect will of God. In the name of Yeshua, I now renounce, break, and loose myself and all my children from all psychic heredity, demonic bondage, occult bondage, psychic bondage, bonds of physical or mental illness and disease and all curses upon me and my family lineage as a result of sins, transgressions, iniquities, occult or psychic involvments of myself, my parents, my ancestors, my spouse, parents of my spouse, their ancestors, and all ex-spouses, their parents and their ancestors. Thank you Lord for setting me free. In the Name of Yeshua, and by the power of the Blood of Yeshau, I rebuke, break and loose myself and all my children from all evil curses, charms, vexes, hexes, spells, jinx, occult powers, psychic powers, witchcraft, sorcery and hypnotic influences that have been put on me or my family lineage by any person, occult source or psychic source. By the power of the Blood of Yeshua, I command all connected and related spirits to leave me now in Yeshua's Name. --

62 That kind of gets it all under the Blood of Yeshua where it belongs. The following are the scripture references if you are interested. Deu 23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. Num 14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. Exo 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. Deu 7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. Deu 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

63 Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 1 Pet 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

64 Ever hear the word of the L-rd, "Come out of her My people." If you have been hoodwinked and deceived into joining Freemasonry, you must "Come out of her," or you will spend an eternity in the lake of fire, with Lucifer, the god of Freemasonry. The god of the temples of freemasonry is Lucifer. Make no mistake about it, if you don't know Lucifer or Satan is the god of freemassonry, you have been DECEIVED. You will find in this report The Ritual. Most masons do not know of, or deny its existance. It was recently found in the Rare Books Room of Pattee Library at The Pennsylvania State University. Indeed it is an authentic copy of the ritual book. Most masons are told it does not exist, The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. This is the actual ritual. Not some quotes from an anti-mason book, but significant parts of the actual ritual book. It is no wonder that these secrets of the "craft" and luciferian initiations are kept from, not only the public, but its own members. It is now revealed. Alleluia Yeshua! Most Freemassons are deceived regarding the truth that freemasonry is a religion of Lucifer. Any "Christian" who is a freemason, must come out it, renounce it, and repent of it, or he will be damned. Do you "Christian freemasons" think that God Almighty will tolerate members of Lucifer's Lodge? Freemasonry, intentionally misleads and deceives its low level initiates of the Blue Lodge. Does that sound like the work of the True God or a false god? How will you stand before God Almighty as a member of Lucifer's Lodge? The amazing speed with which the church has gone into total apostacy is understandable. When one sees the list of high level freemasons and their positions of power and influence in in apostate churchianity, the speed and extent of the apostacy is understandable. Almost all "Christian" TV and radio personalities have taken the luciferian initiations of high level freemasonry. R.G. Stair is a notable exception, as a radio personality who has had the courage to expose the luciferian religion of freemasonry. Most try to keep it hushed; however, the positions of power and influence in the church are in the hands of men who have taken luciferian initiations. In the "Christian" seminaries, colleges, universities, TV, radio, and in almost all the large chruch organizations, one will find high level freemason luciferians in control. That is how quickly another gospel has been spread. Most are too proud to recant or remitt. They would rather deny or threaten those who expose their high level fremasonry membership. Why not just publiclly renounce fremasonry?

65 Here are some prominent names. Billy Graham, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagan, Paul (TBN) Crouch, Oral Roberts, Benny Hinn, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuller, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrahkan and many others. Almost the entire "Word - Faith," "name it and claim it," apostate "gospel of prosperity", is the product of luciferian freemasons. Jesus is the only God who is not welcome in the Lodge. Jesus told us that in the last days many would come in His name saying, "Jesus is Lord," and shall deceive many. The True God is the only god that is excluded from freemasonry. Do you see why the ecumenical movements such as Promise Keepers, the Global Ethic, and other easy believism, "doctrine divides love unites" movements, are so entheusastically supported by the "Christian freemasons." The great "falling away" is often, falsely so called, the rapture. Truthfully the word used in the Authorized scriptures is apostacia, litlerally, the great falling away from the truth. The great apostacy is here. "Christian freemasons" have been at the controls of the larger Christian organiations and have greatly facilitated and accellerated the great falling away from the truth. Freemasons, need to hear this! Lucifer, the god of this world, the god of freemasonry, is a defeated foe although now enjoying his final greatest hour of stealing, killing, and destroying. His followers will join him in hell. Withdraw thyself or be damned. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Gal 1:8-9 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 1Tim 6:3-5 Albert Pike is considered American Freemasonry's most eminent philosopher. Some of Albert Pike's most revealing comments, given only to those taking the Luciferian initiations of the 30, 31, and 32nd degrees, are denied by

66 freemassons. Fremasons are taught that Taxil fabricated the most infamous Pike quote 3 years after Pike's death. However, Anton Chaitkin, speaking for the Schiller Institute, tells us that the infamous Pike quote is available in French and English in the Albert Pike vertical file at the library of the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction at th St. NW, Washington D.C. Because freemasons are taught the Taxil explanation, several references are given for these most revealing infamous statements of Albert Pike. Only 5% of 32nd and higher degree freemasons are invited into the Illuminati. Many "Christians freemasons" would contend that freemassonry is not a religion. The plan of freemassonry is that the majority of freemasons do not even know it is a religion. The plan of freemasonry is to deceive the majority of freemasons from the truth that Lucifer, or Satan, is the god of freemasonry. The only god who will not be found in the temples of freemassonry is the One True God, Yeshua Messiah, Jesus Christ. You will not be praying in the name of Yeshua, or Jesus, in the Lodge. Albert Pike wrote the "Morals and Dogma" of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Freemasonry. Some of the words of this greatest sage of Freemasonry should put Freemasonry in perspective. On page 819 you will find just one example of why there are many people in Freemasonry who believe that it is natural to be a Christian and a Mason. "The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them." Freemasonry intentionally misleads the low degree initiates and hides the truth that the god of Freemasonry is Lucifer, except to those in the 30th and higher degrees. The designed Luciferian deception of Freemasonry intentionally misleads the lower degree initiates away from the truth that the god of Freemasonry is Lucifer. I know of 3 masons of the 32nd degree who have fully renounced Lucifer's religion of Freemasonry and have been redeemed and now serve the True God and honor the name of Yeshua (Jesus). I have 2 very dear friends who will not renounce Freemasonry. One has ministered the gospel for 40 years. Please pray for them and all Masons to know that the Truth that Yeshua (Jesus) is the only way to God and that Lucifer's religion of Freemasonry is a sure way to hell. The following is the infamous quote of Albert Pike. If you still

67 believe the Taxil deception spread within freemasonry, then check out page 321, of the 1942 edition, of Albert Pike's "Morals and Dogma". "That which we must say to the crowd is -- We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition. "To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees -- The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine. "If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him? "Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. " "Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil." (Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, Albert Pike, Grand Commander, Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, July 14, Recorded by A.C. De La Rive, La Femme et l'enfant dans la Franc- Maconnerie Universelle, page 588)) (Also See "Antichrist and a Cup of Tea," by Tim Cohen, page 235) (See Also "En Route to Global Occupation," by Gary Kah, pp and pp ) Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to

68 the sides of the pit. Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; Perhaps the best book on the subject, is "The GODS of the LODGE," by Regenald C. Haupt, Jr., Published by VICTORY PUBLISHING COMPANY, P.O. Box 15251, Savannah, Georgia, The book is also obtainable via the Overcomer Broadcast ministry of Brother R.G.Stair, Box 691, Walterboro, SC, Phone (803) This book will give you enough of the initiations, symbolism, mysteries, philosophies, rites, titles, secret words, grips etc., so that you will know the accuracy of the book. The Southern Baptists and United Methodists have the largest memberships within freemasonry. The book is based almost entirely on Masonic sources. It was not written as a smear or condemnation. It simply exposes the truth of this religion of Lucifer from their own sources such as the New Freemassonry Encyclopedia. The book also exposes the connection between Mormons and Freemasonry. One of the most recent churches to join with the Holiness Churchs, Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Assemblies of God, Church of the Nazarene, Chritian Reform Church, and others, in publically declaring the Antichrist true nature of freemasonry is the Christian Missionary Alliance Church. The entire Sermon of Pastor David Janssen follows. The reason this is so special is because that in their research, in the Rare Books Room of Pattee Library at The Pennsylvania State University, they located a copy of the ritual book, The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. It will be referenced as "the Ritual," or "Ritual." Many who have tried to find the truth regarding Freemasonry have sought such a book. I would encourage you to take the time to review this in its entirety if you really want to know the truth. There are many strong delusions today. In truth, there may not be any such thing as a "Christian Freemason." The truth is that these are mutually exclusive terms. A Sermon on the Rituals of Freemasonry, by Pastor David S. Janssen State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, 1606 Norma Street, State College, Pennsylvania, 16801

69 Introduction from a Prepared statement, delivered by an Elder This morning's sermon addresses the subject of Freemasonry. The response it recommends reflects two years of prayerful study by the Board of Elders. After this lengthy deliberation and consultation with Christian brothers who either are or have been Freemasonry participants, we have concluded that intentional or inadvertent involvement in Freemasonry places Christians in a spiritually compromised situation. While Masons deny their secret society is a religion, it nevertheless involves a spiritual fellowship of men who, though they often praise God and accord the Bible a place of public honor, historically commit themselves to an unbiblical system of thought and practice. Out of concern for our brothers who are Masons and for our congregation as a whole, the Board of Elders has asked the Pastor to speak on Freemasonry this morning. The Governing Board has endorsed our unanimous decision to take up this subject and offer the consequent recommendations. What is at stake is the issue of spiritual fellowship. As you will see, the ideas and practices of Freemasonry are inconsistent with a commitment to Biblical Christianity. Put bluntly, the fellowship of Freemasonry is inconsistent with the fellowship of Jesus Christ. In light of the fact that the Scripture (Ephesians 5: 11) teaches us to have "no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them," the Elders and Pastoral staff have chosen to inform the congregation about the nature of Freemasonry, and to initiate actions described at the conclusion of this morning's sermon. As a full Board of Elders, we have come to our understanding only within the last two years, and we regret our failure to inform ourselves on the situation earlier. To the extent our tardiness has harmed anyone in the congregation, we ask forgiveness. We trust you will understand that in taking these actions we hope to protect rather than punish our sheep. Out of concern for the flock we encourage our brothers who are Masons to leave Freemasonry and, just as important, we warn our young men against joining that fellowship. [This discussion is a compilation of three sermons on the "Rituals of Freemasonry" delivered by Pastor Janssen, on Sunday, September 28, The sermons includes slides Pastor Janssen described.] The Elders are represented here as spiritual leaders and overseers of the flock. Not a single Elder, not a single Governing Board Member, neither a Pastor nor a Pastor's wife differs on this issue we talk about this morning. The elected leadership of our Church comes to you this morning in unity on this teaching document.

70 Freemasonry and its conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ Let me begin by reading the Word of God from Deuteronomy, Chapter 13, verses 6 to 8. The Bible reads, If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: God takes a dim view of other deities in association with His-Name or Being, which is why the Elders share with you today their concerns about the association of Freemasonry with these other gods. The Father has told us to avoid the worship of other gods, whether they be from Egypt, Canaan, or wherever. Many of these deities, as you will see, are associated with the Ritual of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Pastoral Prayer God, today we come to you and worship you in the name of Jesus. You are Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We know You by the name Jehovah and we want to thank you Father for your son Jesus, for the atonement that He provided and for the power of the Holy Spirit that is resident in this place. We bind any other spirit in the name of Jesus that it cannot speak, that it cannot be boisterous, and that all shall be done for your glory alone. Father we thank you today for your presence and for your Glory. We thank you Lord for your Word. You call us to be obedient to Your Word. And this morning, God, we give you this that all of us may learn more about your Holy Spirit and learn more about your Word and your path for our lives. Father, this morning we tend to matters important to you. We ask that your Holy Spirit may enlighten our eyes that we may understand how you would have us to walk. We ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord and our Savior. Amen. As one travels through the United States, and in particular Pennsylvania, one may find along the highways a certain blue or red sign welcoming visitors to the Lodge. We recognize and affirm that it is the right of us all to become

71 associated wherever we want and with whatever we want to be involved in. Together, we appreciate and cherish this basic constitutional freedom. We are concerned, however, with the fact that as a Board of Elders and Governing Board, we have come to the conclusion that the goals and teachings of this organization, that is Freemasonry, conflict with the purposes and the Bylaws of The State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, and we are vested with the responsibility under God and our church Bylaws to share our concerns with you. Please understand that the Board of Elders has been careful to confer with those Masons associated with our church and that much of this material has already been shared with them, in one way or another. In love and patience we have sustained this dialogue for two years. This teaching today is for the broader congregation. Freemasonry, in the Scottish Rite, believes and states in its own publications that one out of every five adults in the United States comes under its influence. Twenty percent of us- through an uncle, a father, a grandfather, a brother, or perhaps even our membership - has experienced the influence of Freemasonry in our lives. Our concern is less with the individual uncle or the grandfather or other relative than with the Freemasonry organization. We believe this organization runs contrary to the purposes of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our Church Bylaws, and in that voice we speak today. More specifically, we focus on the relationship of Freemasonry to our local church. Our call is not to hurt people. Our concern is not with individuals, but with an organization we believe violates Deuteronomy 13:6-8 and therefore threatens to compromise Christians. Some of the information you see and hear today may be new to you. Elders are charged with the responsibility of caring for our souls The Elders before you here today are charged with caring for our souls. Some may wonder why these men have come and why they undertook a two year search on this topic. Might they have been spending their time better on other matters? But recall the Elders are charged with the responsibility of a number of important tasks according to the Word of God and judge whether this study matches their responsibilities according to First Peter, Chapter Five. Called to shepherd the flock of God

72 The Elders are called to shepherd the flock of God. Peter's letter tells us that as under shepherds, the Elders are to be concerned with how the Flock is spiritually - its overall condition. When the sheep are in danger, the Elders have a moral obligation to express their concerns. Called to oversee in the body The Elders are called to oversee in the body - "to see over the body" - and make sure the body is spiritually healthy. So today, they come in unanimity out of their concern for the sheep. In other words, they have been elected by you to be actual overseers gaining a perspective on the body of Christ to make sure the sheep walk in the paths of righteousness, their journey leading homeward toward the Good Shepherd, Jesus. Will give an account of their commitment The Elders will give an account of their commitment. If they fail, they must answer for it to God. They must also answer to God if they are too strict. As you can see, these individuals face a challenging job! Sometimes they lack encouragement, and my word to you is to encourage them. Must meet spiritual conditions The Elders must meet spiritual conditions as outlined in Second Timothy and Titus. These individuals before you have met those spiritual requirements or standards through the nominating committee and through the church elections of recent years. We have seen these individuals in their walk, meet the qualifications to lead us. The Elders are, therefore, in a position to share their studies and insights as is their moral and Biblical obligation. Have been elected by you as ones deemed spiritually responsible You have elected your Elders as the ones you deem spiritually responsible. Your election transcended the routine political choices between Republicans and Democrats. You have elected these individuals over the years to serve you, to help shepherd you and to care for your souls. It is in that capacity they come to you today. We are called to discern the Spirit of Truth from the Spirit of Error We are all called, as first John tells us, "to discern the spirit of truth from the spirit of error." We know that in our world there exists a Spirit of Truth and that

73 is the Holy Spirit, but first John goes on to describe a Spirit of Error. Every single one of us throughout life must remain aware of the difference between the two and base our convictions on that difference between truth and dangerous error. This counterfeiting spirit goes throughout the world trying to mask the way and the plan of God. Notice, for a moment, how that spirit manifests itself: Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. First the Bible says, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but expose them." What does God want us to do when we find behaviors associated with darkness? We are to expose them. Is this something an Elder Board should do? Yes. Not people, mind you, but the fruitless deeds of darkness. The fifth chapter of Ephesians calls us not to cover these "fruitless deeds of darkness" with thoughts of love, but to expose them. 2 Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Second, we are called to demolish arguments. It is a solemn call of God through Paul to "demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God." So where we find something pretending to be the church, something pretending to be Christ, something pretending to take people to heaven, whatever it may be, if it is not of God, Paul considered it his obligation to challenge these arguments and pretensions. Why? To demolish their ability to counterfeit Christ. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Dear friends do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see if they are from God. "Do not believe every spirit"--that word has gone out into the world. It is what First John still tells us. Test the spirits to see if they are from God, or from somewhere else. How often in our lives do we fail to test the spirits involved in what we read, what we do, what we may or may not ascribe or belong to? We have that individual responsibility as men and women, as boys and girls to test these spirits throughout our journey. We believe in unanimity that this is exactly what we do this morning. The spirit of falsehood manifests itself in different ways

74 The spirit of falsehood or error, manifests itself in different ways. To be aware of the different ways, we can examine a few of them: A different gospel Obviously a "different gospel" exists. We read in the Galatians of just such a different gospel. When works are added to grace, or faith and works become mixed, it is the spirit of falsehood, called in the scriptures a different gospel. There are other falsehoods. Admixtures of truth and error Admixtures of other kinds can be just as dangerous. In fact admixtures of truth and error can be the most volatile and sinister of falsehoods, tending to blind people to the pure truth beyond the amalgam. Admixtures can also be the most difficult falsehood to discern with elements of truth masking the error. A mixture of truth and error may look truthful enough for one to believe the error cannot really be error. We find a complete falsehood somewhat more obvious. A mixture of truth and error takes wing in the spirit of falsehood, and it is also a different Gospel. False religions past and present False religions are clearly within the spirit of falsehood. Whether past religions or present religions, they are composed by humans rather than God. These religions are not merely the musings of a culture, but spring from the spirit of error and falsehood. Man's attempt to present his own good works to God generally account for the approach human religions take. False religions whether past or present represent the spirit of error. Cults Cultic organizations also represent the spirit of falsehood. We know cultic behavior separates people by moving them into secret organizations with secret information others cannot share. Cults indoctrinate their members over a long period, withholding all the information at first, then slowly inculcating them until they believe they have been deemed worthy to possess understanding that others cannot have. Slowly these people become isolated from their families and friends. Cults continually surface across the globe and a Christian must study the subject to know what to join and what to avoid. The Occult

75 The occult is part of the spirit of falsehood as surely as Satan seeks to bring our lives under his dominion and power. The word "occult" means hidden or secret things. The occult thrives today in Centre County. It appears everywhere, on television, in our music, in the fascination with witchcraft whether through tarot cards, or Ouija boards, or secretive covens. Whatever the means, the occult is active and we must be careful to recognize it as the spirit of falsehood. Spiritism Spiritism - that is to say, the practice of contacting the dead - is clearly within the spirit of falsehood. Do people still practice this? Without question. In our town and in our county, people still try to contact the spirits of dead people, usually in an attempt to gain information and power. Now we know from the Word of God, the Bible, that we cannot actually contact the spirits of dead people, but Satanic spirits lurk behind those voices that mimic those who are dead. Spiritism of this sort is the spirit of falsehood. Pretenses to Christ The New Testament mentions pretenses to Christ, pretenders to the throne of God. Satan establishes organizations, or associations, or heretical churches to challenge the one God who came in the flesh, Jesus of Nazareth. These pretenders live in the spirit of falsehood. Only Jesus can unite the world under His blood atonement. A spirit of falsehood sets up the very pretenses Paul says he demolishes. And so, in a number of different ways, the spirit of falsehood introduces itself to all who care to listen, and be deceived. Following two years of study, the Elders conclude that Freemasonry is in conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the purposes of our Church as defined in our Bylaws. Following two years of study, our Elders reached the conclusion that Freemasonry conveys sufficient material within the spirit of falsehood for one to classify it among those organizations in conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the purposes of our Church as defined in our Bylaws. Please understand what I am saying and what I am not saying. What I speak of today refers to those Bylaws of our Church we are constitutionally able to

76 discuss. I am not saying that a person has no right to belong to Freemasonry, nor am I saying Freemasonry has no right to exist. What I am saying, and what the Board of Elders and the Governing Board are saying, is that Freemasonry is in conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the purposes of this Church as defined in our Bylaws, and this conflict places us on the spiritual ground where we stand today. We are simply saying this: We have the obligation and right to share with you today that we deem Freemasonry an organization conveying the sort of material that classifies it under our Bylaws as an organization in conflict with the purposes of this Church. That is all we are saying this morning. Ten reasons the Elders believe that Freemasonry (the Blue Lodge, the York Rite, the Scottish Rite) is in conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Bylaws of this Church Ten reasons convince our Elders that Freemasonry, which we define this morning as the Blue Lodge, the York Rite, and the Scottish Rite, is in conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Bylaws of this Church. Not every service organization or fraternity is connected to this system First, not every service organization or fraternity is connected to the system of Freemasdnry, and we want you to know that. But many organizations are connected with Freemasonry, and if you belong to any of these organizations you should reflect and pray over your involvement with those organizations. But to repeat, many fraternities, fraternal orders, and service organizations have nothing whatever to do with the teachings of Freemasonry. It is important for every single one of us to recognize what we are involved with, what we are not involved with, and what certain organizations are trying to teach us about God. Why study the Scottish Rite, or higher Degrees as representive of the Lodge? Why study the Scottish Rite or the higher Degrees as representative of the Lodge? Since according to 1991 figures, only about 50 percent of all Masons ever move on to the Scottish Rite or to the York Rite combined, and about 50 percent remain with the Blue Lodge, would not it be better just to study the Blue Lodge since all Masons have traveled through it together? The Blue Lodge does not teach the deeper principles of Freemasonry

77 Freemasonry defines the Blue Lodge as Degrees one, two and three. During his initiation into the Blue Lodge a candidate is told that nothing in Freemasonry will conflict with his personal religious preferences. The Blue Lodge does not, however, teach the deeper principles of Freemasonry. How do we know that? Ritual in the 26th Degree, the Prince of Mercy or Scottish Trinitarian The Ritual clearly states, in the 26th Degree, the Prince of Mercy, that Freemasonry discloses its teaching only over time and only by Degrees (Ritual, page 384). You may ask, what is "the Ritual"? The Ritual is that set of ceremonies, dogmas, and teachings, by which members are brought into the higher Degrees of Freemasonry. Any one of you can read the book we used in our study in the Rare Books Room of Pattee Library at The Pennsylvania State University. In other words, I am not quoting the works of an anti-mason. I am quoting a work of the Masons written to bring members into the higher Degrees of Freemasonry within the Scottish Rite. This book is, of course, exceedingly rare. Probe Ministries recently aired a series of teachings about Freemasonry on WTLR, and they could not even locate this book. But thankfully at Penn State a rare Masonic collection has provided the Ritual for all who care to look, and it forms the basis of what I present to you this morning. Masony discloses its secrets cautiously, and never makes the whole truth known at once (26th Degree, Prince of Mercy, Ritual, page 384). If you went to the Rare Books Room and accessed The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry you would find in the 26th Degree, these words: "Masonry discloses its secrets cautiously, and never makes the whole truth known at once. This is what Masons themselves confirm about Freemasonry as described in the Ritual, the book by which members are brought into the higher Degrees of Freemasonry. This is not my commentary about Freemasonry; this is the Ritual describing what it does. Thus, a member going through the Blue Lodge-that is the first three Degrees-or onward through the Scottish Rite to the 32nd Degree and on to the 33rd honorary Degree, or through the York Rite, will receive information unavailable to them at the first three Degrees, precisely because Freemasonry is cautious about what it discloses and believes that only certain people should hear all of the information available at the Blue Lodge level. Does this description remind you yet of a false gospel?

78 Notice that one must continue on and gain more information before one understands what "the truth" is because Freemasonry discloses its "truth" only in process. The organization tells, at this point, that its teachings are intentionally cloaked. The 17th Degree, Knights of the East and West The Scottish Rite reveals more information about Freemasonry than the Blue Lodge reveals, as we continue to see in these statements found in the 17th Degree, Knights of the East and West. (We begin) a course of instruction which will fully unveil the heart and the inner mysteries of Masonry (17th Degree, Knights of the East and West, Ritual, page 240). In the 17th Degree, thirteen degrees beyond the Blue Lodge, in the middle of the Scottish Rite, a member begins a course of instruction that will fully unveil the heart and the inner mysteries of Freemasonry. The teachings of the Blue Lodge are in other words, only the preliminary teachings of Freemasonry. The first three degrees of the Blue Lodge do not reveal the heart and inner mysteries of Freemasonry. Only in the 17th Degree--and not in the Blue Lodge-does a Mason in the Scottish Rite approach the heart and the inner mysteries of Freemasonry. This is why we study the Scottish Rite and not the Blue Lodge. The Primary text, The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry contains instructions in all the Degrees from the third to the thirty-third and last Degree of the Rite, together wtth ceremonies of inauguration. (Revised and enlarged edition. 1914). The primary text today, The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. will be referenced as "the Ritual," or "Ritual." Written by Charles Thompson McClenachan, 33rd Degree The book we present to you was written by 33rd Degree Mason Charles McClenachan and was last published by The Masonic Publishing Company in Grand Master of Ceremonies of Supreme Council, Northern Jurisdiction

79 Charles McClenachan was The Grand Master of Ceremonies of the Supreme Council in the Northern Jurisdiction, United States, which covers Pennsylvania. First, and last, compilation of the Degrees This book was the first and last compilation of Scottish Rite Degrees published as a limited edition intended for assisting Masons through the Degrees of The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. This text represents a considerable effort in bringing together the teachings of Freemasonry. Currently, we are told, the teachings of Freemasonry are distributed in single pamphlets covering each Degree, respectively. Used from, approximately 1885 through 1925 to today The Ritual has been used from approximately 1885 through 1925 and perhaps up until today. It was the first and last compilation of the individual ritual degrees. McClenachan compiled the teachings of the different degrees from different books. Freemasonry published his work and went on to use it for approximately 40 years. As we talked to local Masons who complained that McClenachan's book was outdated, we asked for the new book and were told that there is no new book There has been no further compilation for good reason: Freemasonry did not want its secrets to be known. Copy in Rare Books Room, Pattee Library at The Pennsylvania State University,with an initiation program from a Scottish Rite Lodge in New Jersey from the 1920s The copy of the Ritual in the Rare Books Room at Penn State includes an initiation program from a Scottish Rite Lodge in New Jersey from the 1920s. In that book one finds a mimeographed form of how this initiation actually proceeded. If someone were to say this book was not used, it is simply not true. If someone were to say all of this occurred back in the nineteenth century, it is simply not true. We found it was in use in the 1920s, and it probably went on to be used through the Second World War. That may seem like ancient history, but our grandfathers may have used this book. So we know local chapters of Freemasonry used it to move members through the successive Degrees. It is time now for us to list the ten reasons we believe Freemasonry conflicts with the teachings and Bylaws of our Church.

80 Reason Number One: Freemasonry uses pagan religions as an inspiration for their ceremonies The 21st Degree, Prussian Knight, or Noachite If you have doubts, listen to these words of Freemasonry from the Prussian Knight (who claim Noah as their Patriarch), 21st Degree: They meet only on the nights of the full moon, and allow no other light but hers, because such was the ancient custom of the Order, derived from the mysteries of Ceres and the old worship of Isis (21st Degree, Prussian Knight, Ritual, page 322). "They (meaning the Prussian Knights) meet only on nights of the full moon, and allow no other light but hers, because such was the ancient custom of the Order, derived from the mysteries of Ceres and the old worship of Isis." Isis is the moon goddess of Egypt. Ceres is her Greek equivalent. This ritual obviously uses as its inspiration, the worship of Isis. It is of pagan origin, and it involves the worship of false deities. Masonry, of no one age, belongs to all time; of no one religion, it finds its great truths in all. (26th Degree, Prince of Mercy Ritual, page 380). "Masonry, of no one age, belongs to all time; of no one religion, it finds its great truths in all." All religions provide accessibility for Freemasonry and the truths within those primitive religions find their way into this organization. All of the great religions, past and present, supply Freemasonry with truths, and it makes liberal use of pagan religions. We reproduce the speculations of the Philosophers (the Kabalists,the Mystagogues, and the Gnostics. Every one being at liberty to apply our symbols and emblems as he thinks most consistent with truth and reason, and with his own faith we give them such an interpretation only as may be accepted by all (20th Degree, Grand Master of all Symbolic Lodges, Ritual, page 313). From the Ritual: "We reproduce the speculations of the Philosophers, the Kabalists, the Mystagogues, and the Gnostics" Those are three big words. What do they mean? Few people would take the time or have the time to find out. But a quick trip to the Penn State Library can lead to answers. I was able to read four books on the Kabala. You can read them too, if you care to locate them. You can understand these concepts rather than letting these concepts pass unstudied through your mind.

81 Continuing from the Ritual: "Everyone being at liberty to apply our symbols and emblems as he thinks most consistent with truth and reason, and with his own faith, we give them such an interpretation only as may be accepted by all." Someone might ask, Haven't you misapplied these symbols? Masonic orders would compel me to answer, No! This passage has told me that all of the symbols and the emblems of Freemasonry use the primary meaning of the symbol or emblem first. The Scottish Rite states that it uses only the primary or first meaning of any symbol. So when it tells you about Isis it means Isis and when it tells you about Osiris it means Osiris. When you see its symbols, the primary meaning is what you are to understand. We find this out that as we go on. We, like our ancient Masters, mourn Osiris-the type to us of the Sun, of light, of life.... Weep, my brethren, for Osiris!... Weep for Osiris, type of the good the true, the beautiful (24th Degree, Prince of the Tabernacle Ritual, page 356)! The M.P. (Most Puissant, or Powerful, Leader) says, "We, like our ancient Masters, mourn Osiris (that is the sun god of Egypt, the opposite of the moon goddess)-the type to us of the Sun, of light, of life." Then the M.P. says to the initiates, "Weep, my brethren, for Osiris!" What the M.P. has just asked each initiate to do is weep for a foreign deity, the sun god, Osiris. So I as an initiate in the 24th Degree am being taught to worship the Egyptian sun deity. This is idolatry plain and simple. Reason Number Two: Freemasonry teaches Universalism, that all will be ultimately saved Universalism is the belief that all will ultimately be saved. I wish everyone were saved, but that is not God's plan and, that is not the Gospel. Jesus came and died, calling us to repent of our sins and believe in Him. But what we find Freemasonry saying is that everyone will eventually be saved. Do they really believe that? We can examine the question together. The 29th Degree, Knight of Saint Andrew or Patriarch of the Crusades In the 29th degree, Knight of Saint Andrew, we read in the Scottish Rite: The Masonic system regards all the human race as members of one great family---as having the same origin and the same destination; all distinctions of rank, lineage or nativity, are alike unknown (29th Degree, Knight of Saint Andrew, Ritual, pages 432 and 433).

82 The Masonic system regards all the human race as members of one great family - having the same origin and the same destination. In other words, Freemasonry teaches its people Universalism. I personally do not believe we all have the same destination, and the Gospel does not teach that the human race has the same destination. Jesus clearly explained the two possible destinations, one for the sheep and one for the goats. Freemasonry conflicts here with the Word of God and the purposes of this local Church, which is to uphold truth as revealed in the Old and New Testaments. Reason Number Three: Freemasonry teaches the principles of pagan religions as truth Freemasonry teaches the principles of pagan religions as truth. Are we sure Freemasonry teaches the principles of pagan religions as truth? Yes. Here is what the Ritual says: The 25th Degree, Knight of the Brazen Serpent In the 25th Degree, Knight of the Brazen Serpent, we read this from the Ritual: The duties of a Knight of the Brazen Serpent are: To purify the soul of its alloy of earthliness through the gate of Capricorn and the seven spheres it may at length ascend to its eternal home beyond the stars; and also perpetuate the great truths enveloped in the symbols and allegories of the ancient mysteries (25th Degree, Knight of the Brazen Serpent, Ritual, page 358). The duties of a Knight of the Brazen Serpent are to purify the soul of its alloy of earthliness (this is a tenet of Gnosticism), that through the gate of Capricorn and the seven spheres (this is astrology) it may, at length, ascend (that is to say, the human body) to its eternal home beyond the stars; and also to perpetuate the great truths enveloped in the symbols and the allegories of the ancient mysteries. The ancient mysteries here are the ancient religions, not the Gospel. If you or I wanted to fulfill the duties of a Knight of the Brazen Serpent, one of our obligations would be to perpetuate the truths of the ancient mysteries or the pagan ancient religions. Freemasonry has just taught me the principles of pagan ancient religions and asked me to uphold those principles. We find no commensurate call to perpetuate the truth of Christianity and no call to perpetuate the truth of the Old Testament. Even though the brazen serpent is a prototype of Christ from the Old Testament, I am not called to perpetuate the truths of the New Testament. I am called, rather, to perpetuate the truths enveloped in the ancient mysteries. A good Knight will do that; a bad Knight

83 will not. What Freemasonry is asking of me is contrary to God's call for my life. Reason Number Four: Freemasonry teaches that the cross is not the most important symbol of the world, but rather the pentagram Masons learn that the cross is not the most important symbol of the world, but rather the pentagram. It may be difficult for Christians involved in Freemasonry to accept this belief, but it is clearly stated in the Ritual. The 28th Degree, Knight of the Sun or Prince Adept In the 28th Degree, under Knight of the Sun, this is what we read from the Ritual: Ah the mysteries of Magism, all the symbols of the gnosis, all the figures of the occult philosophy, all the kabalistic keys of prophecy, are summed up in the sign of the pentagram, the greatest and most potent of an signs (28th Degree, Knight of the Sun, Ritual, page 413). All the mysteries of Magism (that is magi and is where the word "magic" comes from), all the symbols of the gnosis (that is Gnosticism), all the figures of occult philosophy (I did not insert that word, it is their term), all the Kabalistic keys of prophecy, are summed up in the sign of the pentagram, the greatest and the most potent of all signs. The Gnostics hold to it, the Kabalists hold to it, the Mystegogues hold to it, Occult philosophy holds to it. The dark world outside of "the one and only true God" holds the pentagram as the most potent of all signs. If a Mason in the Scottish Rite wants to know what is the most potent sign in this universe, it is not the cross but the pentagram. Take the cross down and raise the pentagram. As the Ritual continues, we read,... it is a sign ancient as history and more than history; and the complete understanding of it is the key to the two worlds (28th Degree, Knight of the Snn, Ritual, page 413). It (the pentagram) is a sign as ancient as history and more than history; and the complete understanding of it (the pentagram) is the key to the two worlds (the world of God or what they call the macrophage, and the microphage or the world of humanity). Freemasonry teaches that only one symbol brings the two worlds of God and humanity together and that is the pentagram. It is not the cross that gives the Mason an understanding of the two worlds, God and humanity, it is the pentagram. So how am I to understand the nature of God and the nature of his creation? Not through the cross but through the pentagram.

84 Nevertheless, I personally believe the New Testament explains that the cross is the focal point of history and civilization, not the pentagram. Reason Number Five: Freemasonry teaches astrology in its Rituals Many outside the "craft" have not grasped the importance of astrology to Freemasonry. The 23rd Degree, Chief of the Tabernacle In the 23rd Degree, Chief of the Tabernacle, we read from the Ritual that: The world, the ancients believed, is governed by seven secondary causes; and these are the universal forces designated by Moses under the plural name Elohim, The Gods. These forces, analogous and contrary the one to the other by their counter-action produce the equilibrium, and regulate the movements of the spheres. The Hebrews called them the Seven Great Archangels (23rd Degree, Chief of the Tabernacle, Ritual, page 346) The world, the ancients (from the Kabala) believed (you must concentrate to catch this point), is governed by seven secondary causes. These are the universal forces designated by Moses under the plural name Elohim. (The Bible teaches that Elohim is the name of God, not the name of seven secondary sources or forces. If you are a Mason in the Scottish Rite you have been taught this, but it is wrong.) These forces, analogous and contrary the one to the other, by their counteraction produce the equilibrium, and regulate the movements of the spheres. The Hebrews called them the "Seven Great Archangels." What I have just heard is that the "seven secondary causes" are the "Seven Great Archangels," and the "Seven Great Archangels" are God. That is blasphemy! God is not an angel. This organization of Freemasonry communicates neither Biblical nor Hebrew revelation. Instead, Freemasonry teaches astrology. We can examine this contention for ourselves. The Ritual has taught that the Seven Great Archangels are "Elohim." But Elohim is not the name of angels; Elohim is the name of God. When Freemasonry creates angelic orders and calls them God, they err. We shall see these angels in the next slide. The Ritual states that the angels, these seven secondary causes, the Elohim, the Gods, actually control the planets on which they live.

85 It also represents the seven archangels whom the Hebrews assigned to the government of those planets (23rd Degree, Chief of the Tabernacle, Ritual, page 345). They tell us Elohim represents the seven great archangels whom the Hebrews assigned to the government of those planets. But the original Hebrews did not assign angels to planets, and I guarantee that God never revealed that He did. The medieval Kabalistic-Hebrews, however, believed in magic and occult studies, and the origin of this teaching lies there. Is it not deceptive to Freemasonry's own membership to use the term "Hebrews" as if this material stemmed from the Old Testament? This is an admixture of truth and error or a spirit of falsehood. Reason Number Six: Freemasonry does not affirm the uniqueness of the Old and New Testament Freemasonry declines to affirm the uniqueness of the Old and the New Testament. We acknowledge that the uniqueness of the Old Testament and the New Testament is clearly affirmed in the Word of God. Second Timothy 3:16 tells us that "all scripture is God breathed." But what does Freemasonry believe about the Old and New Testament? The 17th Degree, Knights of the East and West In the 17th Degree, we find in the Ritual that: The religion taught by Moses, which like the laws of Egypt, enunciated the principles of exclusion, borrowed at every period of its existence from all the creeds with which it came in contact (17th Degree, Knights of the East and West, Ritual, pages 240 and 241). The religion taught by Moses, which, like the laws of Egypt, enunciated the principles of the exclusion, borrowed at every period of its existence from all the creeds with which it came in contact. What Freemasonry has just told us is that the scriptures are mere compilations of "borrowed" material. Moses said nothing new, the Ten Commandments said nothing new, the Torah said nothing new, and the prophets had nothing but mainly Egyptian and Canaanite truths rehashed for the Israelites. In fact, the earlier works of the Zoroasterins and the Persians may be the root of the Old Testament as well. Freemasonry teaches that God did not "breathe" the Old Testament and the New Testament and that these Testaments are therefore not unique.

86 Every student of religion knows that the differences between Israelite and Egyptian religions are profound. The differences between the Egyptians and Israelites were so intense that God called the Israelites to flee Egypt and embrace the monotheistic God who had no form. But Freemasonry teaches that the Old Testament is merely borrowed material from earlier religions the Israelites came in contact with as they wandered through the desert, and Moses downloaded all this material. Reason Number Seven: Freemasonry states that it is not a religion but then affirms that it actually is Freemasonry states it is not a religion but then affirms it actually is. One of the first tenets Masons tell us is that Freemasonry is not a religion, and I believe they honestly think that Freemasonry is not a religion. But look at what Freemasonry says about itself in its Ritual. The 4th Degree, Secret Master In the 4th Degree, Secret Master, we read this from the Ritual: Genuine Freemasonry, my brother, is a system of morals, and approaches religion: in fact, such was primitive Freemasonry (4th Degree, Secret Master, Ritual, page 43). Genuine Freemasonry, my brothers, is a system of morals, and approaches religion; in fact, such was primitive Freemasonry. Remember that the Fourth Degree is the initiating degree into the Scottish Rite. The initiate has left the first three Degrees of the Blue Lodge and moves now from four onward to thirty-two. In the Fourth Degree, the beginning of their journey into the Scottish Rite, initiates discover that Freemasonry approaches religion and that some form of it called primitive Freemasonry existed earlier. But that is not the whole story. The 20th Degree, Grand Master of all Symbolic Lodges or Master Ad Vitam As we travel sixteen more Degrees, we find this passage at the 20th Degree: The degrees of the Ancient and Accepted rite form a connected system of moral, religious, and philosophical instruction (20th Degree, Grand Master of all Symbolic Lodges, Ritual, page 312). The degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Rite form a connected system of moral, religious, and philosophical instruction. Freemasonry says it is no religion but it certainly provides "religious instruction." If it walks like a

87 duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck They have admitted they provide religious instruction and are involved with religion. Whether they are taught to repeat it or not, the word "religion" recurs in the Ritual. If Freemasonry is not a religion, why would it use the word in its initiations? But the story continues. The 26th Degree, Prince of Mercy or Scottish Trinitarian We discover, as we continue six more Degrees, in the 26th Degree that Masonry is a Worship, but one in which all civilized men can unite (26th Degree, Prince of Mercy, Ritual, page 380). Freemasonry teaches in its initiations it is a worship, but one in which all civilized men can unite. While the cross no longer unites civilized men, Freemasonry is indeed a worship. Freemasonry is not a religion, but it has the ability to provide an avenue along which all civilized men can worship. The 29th Degree, Knight of Saint Andrew or Patriarch of the Crusades As we continue three more Degrees in the Scottish Rite, we find in the 29th Degree that Masonry teaches, and has preserved in their purity, the cardinal tenets of the old primitive faith, which underlie and are the foundations of all religions (29th Degree, Knight of Saint Andrew, Ritual, page 427). Masonry teaches, and has preserved in their purity, the cardinal tenets of the old primitive faith, which underlie and are the foundations of all religions. Freemasonry says that it has been able -- and only it has been able -- to preserve all of these primitive faiths, these primitive religions, the foundations of all religion. Although they will not admit to being a religion, their rituals subsume all the primitive religions. They are preserved within those rituals, available to all who care to be involved. Freemasonry first claims to preserve all the primitive religions, provide worship for civilized men, and provide associated religious study and instruction; then it claims not to be a religion. These two claims conflict. Reason Number Eight: Freemasonry uses the Kabala as a base of teaching (17th Degree, Knights of the East and West, Ritual, page 229) "Kabala" is a new word to many of us. Few of us have heard it, let alone understand its occult nature. Even seminary graduates can overlook it. But you

88 can access it if you want through the "Libraries Information Access System," LIAS, at The Pennsylvania State University. The Kabala, it turns out, is a classic in occult literature. The Kabalists were a mystical, Judaistic sect in the Middle Ages, and some of their writings appear to have come down to us from the first thousand years or millennium after Christ. The Kabalist Community organized these writings as a theological system used first in Spain and then in Europe. It sought to control God above us and society around us with magical incantations and odd applications of the Hebrew alphabet. A book originally compiled in Spain, the Kabalists believe the Kabala contains traditions that go back to the time of Solomon. Most date it later, in the first century, but it came together around the twelfth century in Spain. The Kabala included a group of mystics within Judaism who shared a number of consistent precepts. The Kabala advances the following ideas in its teaching, as gleaned from The Kabalah. from Its inception to Its Evanescence, by Joseph Wallman, Theological Research Publishing Co. Brooklyn, New York, 1958, (referenced as The Kabalah), and The Wisdom of the Zohar. An Anthology of texts, by Fischel Lachower and Isaiah Tishby, English translation by David Goldstein. Oxford [Oxfordshire]; New York, Published for the Littman Library by Oxford University Press, [1987], c1985, (referenced as Book of Zohar). Soul is pre-existent (The Kabalah, page 17) The Kabala teaches that the soul is pre-existent, which is to say, the soul existed before conception. You existed somewhere, somehow, in some sphere, which they will define for you later. The Bible does not teach this. One may recollect from previous existences (The Kabalah, page 17) One may recollect from previous existences. You can "go around" more than once. Actually you go around three times if you have to, and at death you just inhabit another body. Nowadays, we call this reincarnation. You can read for yourself that this was the teaching of the Spanish Jewish Kabalists in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. God is in everything and everything is in God (The Kabalah, page 18). God is in everything and everything is in God. We call this idea pantheism. God is in the snowflake; in fact, the snowflake is part of God. We of course believe God created the snowflake, and His presence is related to the snowflake. But He is not the snowflake itself. The soul leaves the body at night (The Kabalah, page 48). The soul leaves the body at night. You probably wondered where you went at

89 night after you fell asleep. The Kabala states that every person leaves his body at night, travels somehow to God, and then comes back mysteriously in the morning. I guess if you sleep late in the moming your soul has lost its way back This idea is called soul travel or astral projection. Creation was not made out of "nothing" (The Kabalah page 115). Creation was not made out of nothing. Even though Genesis one tells us that the creation came out of nothing, the Kabala says it was fashioned from the four elements-water, fire, earth and ether-and you see those four elements in the symbols of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Souls may inhabit other bodies at death (The Unifying Factor: A Review of the Kabalah, by Nekama Schoenburg, Northvale, N.J., J. Aronson, 1996, pages 77-80). The soul may inhabit other bodies, as I mentioned, and the soul can inhabit another body at death. You really get three chances to go around-that is, three attempts at redemption before going home to the Lord. Stars and planets affect everything on earth through the angelic personalities that rule them (Book of Zohar, page 663) In the Kabala we discover that stars and planets affect everything on earth through the angelic personalities that rule them. Remember the Ritual said (23rd Degree, Chief of the Tabemacle, Ritual, page 345) that on these planets live seven archangels in charge of government there. Well, the Kabala believes the same thing. Where did Freemasonry get this idea that ail these angelic personalities or spirits, rule over these planets? It came from the Kabala. The text and teaching of the Kabala were communicated through contact with the dead while the receivers were in trances (The Kabala, Page 6) The Kabala insists that its text and teaching were communicated through contact with the dead while the authors were in trances. Chief among those the authors identified was Elijah. The individuals who wrote the Kabala fell into trances, communicated mainly with the Satanically mimicked spirit of Elijah, and when they came out of their trances, they recorded the text of the Kabala and gave it to their disciples. This is spiritism, a spirit of falsehood. The text of the Old Testament contains Hebrew letters, which are hidden angelic power sources (The Kabalah, page 6).

90 The text of the Old Testament and the Torah contains, to the Kabalists, Hebrew letters, which exert angelic power. More specifically, either the first twelve or the first fourteen letters of the Hebrew alphabet bear an association with an angel. When reading a verse of the Old Testament, the Kabalist looks for meaning beyond the ordinary meaning of that word or verse. He looks for the angelic personalities or powers that come into play in that verse. When a Kabalist recites that verse, he actually calls on the angel to empower him. Moreover, Kabalists spin the name Yahweh around, and it becomes a new word describing the union of male and female. The Kabaha in the Ritual At this point, we should inquire whether the Kabala is really all this important to Freemasonry. The candiate is subjected to an examination the most strict in regard to the (Pista or) pledges he has given in the degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry: also as to his proficiency in the Kabala of those degrees (17th Degree, Knights of the East and West, Ritual, page 229) The candidate (in the 17th Degree, Knights of the East and West) is subjected to an examination most strict in regard to the Pista or pledges he has been given in the degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry; also as to his proficiency in the Kabala of those degrees. Are these pledges really important? They must be since after sixteen Degrees, they go back and make sure that an initiate knows all the pledges he has taken. Moreover, according to the Ritual, the candidate is checked to make sure he understands both the various pledges he has made and how the Kabala has influenced the Degrees of Freemasonry. Obviously, the Kabala has had a big impact if by this time it must be fully integrated with the pledges. Pausing at the 17th Degree a candidate who has gone from the 4th Degree through the 16th Degree will undergo careful scrutiny to make sure he understands how the Kabala influences the Degrees. Freemasonry affirms that the Kabala is influential within its Degrees. It is that simple. If thy intellect is dull and coarse by nature, or clouded and confused by indulgence the syrnbolisms of the Kabala will have no meaning to thee (25th Degree, Knight of the Brazen Serpent, Ritual, page 363). The Ritual continues by saying (at the 25th Degree, Knight of the Brazen Serpent): if thy intellect is dull and coarse by nature, or clouded and confused

91 by indulgence, the symbols of the Kabala will have no meaning to thee. In other words, if your head is a block of cement, if you have failed to get it by now, you will not understand because you lack perception, because by this time the Kabala should have had a big influence on your life. By the 25th Degree you should understand how central the Kabala is in your life. The Fraternity of Freemasonry is going to test and make sure that the relationship between the Ritual, magic, and the Kabala has influenced your life. Magic and the Kabala In 1486, Peco, a follower of the Kabala observed that Mastery of the Kabala can give a person unimagined magical skill (Magic in the Middle Ages, Richard Kieckhefer, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1990) "Mastery of the Kabala can give a person unimagined magical skill. That is why in The Satanic Bible Anton Le Vey uses an emblem of Leviathan within an inverted pentagram to portray his organization. He found the symbols and the concepts in the Kabala, which he freely references. The essence of the Kabala is gaining magical occult skills. Book of Zohar, Kabala The Book of Zohar, the chief book of the Kabala, states that:all the stars and the planets in the firmament are appointed as overseers and officers to serve the world. There is not a single blade of grass in the entire world that is not controlled by a star or, a planet in the firmament (Book of Zohar II, page 664) All the stars and the planets in the firmament are appointed as overseen and officers to serve the world. There is not a single blade of grass in the entire world that is not controlled by a star or a planet in the firmament. We see here a hymn to astrology. Incredible energy apparently exists on my front lawn. I wish I could convince it to stop growing in the summer! Notice that the Kabala is not talking here just about gravity and the laws of physics or plant growth. It is discussing angelic spirits (they may not even be angelic) placed on those stars and planets (an idea based on astrology, the basis of Kabalistic magic) supposedly to influence everything on earth, including human life and behavior.

92 Reason Number Nine: Freemasonry believes it alone is the guardian of spiritual truths given at the dawn of humanity Our ninth reason for avoiding Freemasonry is its belief that it alone is the guardian of spiritual truths handed down at the dawn of humanity. Shall we step back thousands of years to find out who Freemasonry says really preserves the one true name of God and His worship? The Eighth Degree, Intendant of the Buildings In the Eighth Degree, Intendant of the Buildings, we find in the Ritual that:you will advance toward the light-toward the star blazing in the distance--which is an emblem of the divine truth, given by God to the first men and preserved amid all the vicissitudes of ages in the traditions and teachings of Masonry (8th Degree, Intendant of the Buildings, Ritual page 93). You will still advance toward the light--toward the star blazing in the distancewhich is an emblem of the divine truth, given by God to the first men and preserved through the traditions and teachings of Masonry. Masons have the right to believe this, if they want. We live in a free country. But it does countermand the purposes of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the purposes of this Church as decreed by our Bylaws under the constitution of churches of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Reason Number Ten: Freemasonry contains material shared by spiritist groups Our tenth objection to Freemasonry centers on the fact that it promulgates material shared in common with spiritist groups. If you read The Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians, by Franz Hartmann, in the Penn State Rare Books Room, you will find shared symbols dating from the 19th century translated out of the German and hand colored: proof that Freemasonry did not make up its own symbols, but borrowed many of them from groups like the Rosicrucians. The mysteries, names of deities, rituals The "mysteries" are ancient religious systems gleaned from Egypt and nearby Mesopotamian countries. The names of such deities as Isis and Osiris, as well as earlier rituals, come right out of this worship. They are located throughout the Ritual of the Scottish Rite.

93 The Kabala, world view When Freemasonry asserts that spiritual forces besides God control all aspects of life, the belief comes from the Kabala. The world view that attributes the power of planets to the angels or spirits on those planets comes from the Kabaia rather than the Old or New Testaments. The alchemists, symbols The alchemists and Freemasonry bear surprisingly strong similarities. Few people nowadays understand the roots of medieval alchemy, though they may recall Mickey Mouse and the Disney production of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." In general, alchemists tried vainly to turn lead into gold. But the alchemists of Europe actually worked on two levels: the physical and the spiritual. In the process of trying to turn lead into gold, they were trying as well to turn the dress of their lives into gold before Deity. As the alchemists labored on these two different planes, they gradually adopted a number of symbols, like the double-headed eagle. This symbol, which Freemasonry shares in its 31st, 32nd, and 33rd Degrees, comes not from The Scottish Rite but from the 17th century works of the alchemists. The eagle, called the "tail-eater," is the emblem given to persons who have at last learned to control the seven planets in their lives. Is it a coincidence that Freemasonry uses this symbol at the very end of the Scottish Rite degree? I think not. The Rosicrucians, symbols We also find a figure called the "Rebis," with the head of both a male and a female on one body. It is standing on a serpent, which is itself atop a globe. This figure appears in the ritual of Freemasonry, as well as on the cover of the book The Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians, by Franz Hartmann. It is also rooted in and strongly associated with alchemy. The serpent makes a speech as it is subjugated bestowing unlimited power on the figure above desiring to uncover its potential. Far from unique to Freemasonry, this symbol occurred among the alchemists as well as the Rosicrucians. As we can see, occult philosophy indeed has a strong hold on the "Craft" that is Freemasonry. In fact, the Ritual includes this key phrase: "The understanding of the occult is the knowledge of the Equilibrium (Sohar, Boolt I., Siphra de Zeniutha)" (28th Degree, Knight of the Sun, Ritual, page 403)

94 Furthermore, the Ritual in the 28th Degree, Knight of the Sun, quotes the Book of Zohar: "The understanding of the occult is the knowledge of the Equilibrium." Whether it be the mysteries, or the Kabala, or the alchemists, or the Rosicrucians-or even the occult-freemasonry draws ever close to spiritist organizations. Shared symbols Actually, many shared symbols exist. While we cannot discuss all of them today, we will make them all available to you. Do most Masons, or Freemasons, know these things? Probably not! Probably 95 percent of Masons have never understood all of them. For these six reasons, they would probably fail to grasp this material on Freemasonry we have just presented. First, most objectionable material appears in the later degrees The most inherently objectionable material appears in the later degrees-that is to say, in the philosophical degrees at the end of the Scottish Rite called the Areopagus. The inner mysteries, the heart of Freemasonry, lie here, and most members never advance to this Degree. Second, words and symbots go undefined If initiates do advance, the words and symbols remain undefined for them. One never finds the Rebis symbol defined. It will be found and described plainly only in esoteric works on alchemy. It will be found in the work of the Rosicrucians. But it has slipped into Freemasonry without adequate explanation. You will never find the double-headed eagle explicitly explained as representing planetary understanding. But look carefully and you will find it in the works of the Rosicrucians and alchemists. Freemasonry often leaves words and symbols inadequately defined. Third, most people are untrained in theology

95 Most people are untrained in theology. I am not an engineer, and you would hardly want me to build your house. I can barely change a tire. Most of us, frankly, have little reading in advanced theology, and so as we come in contact with ancient religions we rarely understand how they connect with each other. Fourth, words and symbols pass by quickly in initiations Words and symbols pass by quickly in initiations. Some Masons have told me that they passed through the entire Scottish Rite in a weekend. Zohar, Kabalathey all seem wonderful and mysterious. But they are not defined. The words run right through the ears. Few initiates really understand that as they put a crimson ribbon with the "depicted" names of Osiris and Moses with the words of Isis and Ceres on their chests, which they are asked to do (25th Degree, Knight of the Brazen Serpent, Ritual, page 361), they are really putting the name of Moses with the names of foreign gods on their chests. It all passes too quickly. Fifth, few written records exist Only a few written records exist. The Ritual is a rare book, the last compilation that we know of, unless people are deliberately trying to mislead us. Thus we find that the Freemasonry progression is just not well documented. We asked the Masons in the Scottish Rite to give us a newer version if the older version concerns them. But they could not point to anything newer. It has been taken out of circulation, if it existed at all. But the words of Albert Pike, who wrote Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, seem to coincide with what we uncovered in this 1914 edition. All the material agrees: It is from the land of the Scottish Rite, and it is not far from the Land of Oz. Sixth, the intent of the founders is thickly layered The intent of the founders is thickly layered. I believe, as I mentioned, that most Masons just do not understand the roots of alchemy, the roots of the Rosicrucians, and the rites of the early pagan religions. How did this organization come to be? In the book The Origins of Masonic Symbols. we find a statement by a Mason that gives us a clue: "Apparently early Christian- Kabalists in the early 18th century formed the Scottish Rite in order to understand the deeper mysteries. It was a time of disenchantment with the church, and with spiritual things. The church was seen as cold and calculating rather than warm and mystical. It: was

96 a time of encroaching humanism and rationalism. The idea of uniting the brotherhood of humanity under one religion seemed like a great idea. That is apparently where Freemasonry came from and why it is so heavily layered. A lot from the Old and New Testaments appear in the rituals, but that material is generally used out of context and mixed with religious concepts that are incompatible with the Old and New Testaments. What should love do? Well, what should love do? Maybe someone would say that the love of Jesus embraces everything and everybody. But if my daughter were approaching a hot iron, would I let her touch it? Love would say intervene. It would not be love to let her burn her hand. Embrace the iron, is that love? No. Love warns. And so when we believe that the love of Jesus embraces, and that He forgave the woman at the well, we remember that He also cautioned her to sin no more. Jesus said He came to bring a sword, and a sword He brings. It is a false concept of love to believe that God merely nurtures and gathers His little sheep and lets them do whatever they want. What should love do? Here are four suggestions: First, focus on the organization rather than the people Remember that our argument here is with the organization rather than its members. We are not talking about individual people we know; we are talking about an organization. We have problems with its dogmas, its morals, and its rituals. This understanding helps me to love people, yet requires me to warn them about the organization. Second, we wage war not against flesh and blood We wage war not against flesh and blood. It is not the person "lodged" in the lodge who we fight. It is the spirit of falsehood and error behind the organization we resist. We fight the pretense to Christ. We condemn the spirit of error and falsehood that has infiltrated truth and assumed some of its garb. Third, care enough to inform What should love do? Care enough to inform people, which is precisely what we are doing. Let every individual make decisions for himself, but love says

97 stop, watch out, you may be burned. Love says be informed. Love tells us when the skull and crossbones are on the bottle, do not drink from it. What is this talk that love encompasses everything, no matter its danger to us? Jesus came to give us truth and to tell us how to separate it from error. We are not rejecting people; we are looking at a pretense to the cross and saying this pretense is spiritually unhealthy. The organization of Freemasonry does not conform to the Gospel of Jesus Christ or the Bylaws of this Church. Fourth, pray and befriend Pray and befriend. Most Masons have no idea what they face and in what they are involved. Not the people, as we have said, but the spirit of falsehood and error is behind Freemasonry. Masons need our prayers and friendship. I am not a member of Freemasonry but I have been told that when you enter the Blue Lodge you are told that nothing will violate your religious preferences. You will never be asked to do anything that countermands your beliefs. Then you are blindfolded and told to admit your spiritual darkness, even if you are a Christian! From the very beginning, you must admit that the light of Freemasonry is the only true light. It could well be that from the moment "the initiate is blindfolded and kneeling before the altar of Freemasonry," he becomes spiritually blindfolded to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that the light of Freemasonry close at hand deflects the true light. If the light of Freemasonry is not the light of Christ, then it is a dangerous deception. Spirits and principalities listen closely to the words we use and to what we affirm. We pray for ourselves and others that the spirit of deception may be broken. Today we have taken a little journey which in no way has included all the material we earlier gleaned from the Ritual. To discuss it all would take hours. I realize, too, that Freemasonry is hardly the only issue in our lives. In my own case, as I mentioned last week, I went through my house and made sure images and symbols speaking of foreign deities had not found a place there. It amazes me how these influences can infect our lives. Nor are we singling out one organization; we should be concerned about many other spiritual issues as well. What we are doing is making a statement as Elders that Freemasonry as an organization, though it has the right to exist and flourish, is contrary to the purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our

98 Church Bylaws under the constitution of churches of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Thank you. The Chairman of the Board of Elders read the following policy statement after the sermon A Policy Statement by the Board of Elders of the State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church Concerning Freemasonry General Statement The Board of Elders believes that members and adherents of the State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church should avoid all involvement with Freemasonry. Statement on Church Membership The Board of Elders affirms that Freemasonry is an order or organization whose teaching and requirements of allegiance are contrary to the doctrinal statement and purpose of the State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church as found in The Bible and the Uniform Constitution for Accredited Churches of the Christian and Missionary Alliance and Church Bylaws. Therefore, Freemasons shall be ineligible for membership in the State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. Statement about Church Members and Adherents Who Are Freemasons The Board of Elders will, in love and with a sincere desire, communicate truth in care for the souls of Freemasons who are members and adherents of the State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. We hope that those members and adherents of the State College Christian and Missionary Alliance Church who are Freemasons will choose to disassociate themselves from Freemasonry and inform the Board of Elders and the Pastor of their decision. The Board of Elders, along with the Pastor, will meet with each member who desires to remain a Freemason and decide on the appropriate action in each case. Freemasons who are members shall be ineligible to hold any position of teaching or elected office in the Church. you would like a copy of this statement I will make them available here at the front of the church after the service.

99 Pastor Janssen I would like to close with a reading from the Word of God. After hearing a good deal that deviates from the Word of God, it seems appropriate to hear the Lord speak Bev Reagan brought the following passages from Scripture to our attention a couple weeks ago: 2 Chr 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. As men and women and as families we want to keep the land from desolation imposed by unholy beliefs and behaviors. Listen as the passage from Chronicles continues: 2 Chr 7:17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 2 Chr 7:18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 2 Chr 7:19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 2 Chr 7:20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 2 Chr 7:21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 2 Chr 7:22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them. My family, my marriage, my children, my testimony, my ministry, our lives--i ask you, Do we not want God to heal our land, to heal our marriages, to heal our children, to heal our parents, and to heal our brothers and sisters? This is business that is serious before the Lord. Let us stand together, humble ourselves and pray.

100 Pastoral Prayer Father, today in your presence we give to you our lives because this is not the only issue in my life or all of our lives, God. We ask you to help us by your Holy Spirit to separate the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood. Call me, God, to be humble in your sight. Call us, God, to pray. Call us, God, to seek your face. Call us, God, to turn away from any wickedness in me and each of us because we want our land healed. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. God bless you today. BIBLE STUDY FOR MASONS Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT FROM GOD. NO MAN IS RIGHTEOUS. WE ALL HAVE SINNED, AND ALL OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FILTHY RAGS TO GOD. YET GOD CAN COUNT US RIGHTEOUS, THROUGH FAITH. WE ARE COUNTED RIGHTEOUS BY GOD THE SAME WAY ABRAHAM WAS. WE BELIEVE GOD, WE BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAID, WE BELIEVE JESUS PAID THE PRICE REQUIRED FOR OUR SINS. RIGHTEOUSNESS CAN ONLY COME FROM GOD TO MAN THROUGH FAITH. SINCE GOD HIMSELF BECAME THE PERFECT LAMB TO WHICH ALL OF THE BLOOD SACRIFICES POINTED, THAT FAITH MUST BE IN JESUS CHRIST. Exodus 12:3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of [their] fathers, a lamb for an house: EVERY MAN MUST HAVE THE LAMB TO SHED ITS BLOOD IN ORDER TO BE PASSED OVER IN JUDGMENT BY GOD. ALL OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FILTHY RAGS. WITHOUT THE

101 SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO REMISSION OF SINS. ALL OF THIS WAS POINTING TO THE ONCE FOR ALL, PERFECT SACRIFICE OF THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST. Exodus 12:12-13 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye [are]: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy [you], when I smite the land of Egypt. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD. WHILE IT MAY BE DESIRABLE TO BE TOLERANT AND RESPECTFUL OF ALL BELIEFS AND CREEDS, GOD'S TRUTH IS THAT THERE ARE NOT MANY WAYS FOR MAN TO COME TO GOD. THE ONLY WAY TO GOD IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, THE LAMB OF GOD, WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. HERE WE HAVE THE ESSENCE OF GOD'S TRUTH. JESUS CHRIST IS NOT A WAY JESUS IS THE WAY. JESUS CHRIST IS NOT A TRUTH JESUS IS THE TRUTH. JESUS CHRIST IS NOT A LIFE JESUS IS THE LIFE. NO MAN CAN COME TO GOD BY ANY OTHER MEANS. ANY OTHER MEANS TO COME TO GOD IS ONE OF THE MANY ROADS TO HELL. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. II Timothy 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

102 IF I AM IGNORANT OF THE TRUTH, I AM NOT BOUND TO SHARE THE TRUTH. I CAN BE TOLERANT AND RESPECTFUL OF ALL BELIEFS AND CREEDS. BUT IF I KNOW THE TRUTH, I AM COMPELLED TO TELL THIS TRUTH. IF I CARE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU I MUST TELL YOU THIS TRUTH IF THIS TRUTH IS ESSENTIAL TO SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM THE ETERNAL TORMENT OF HELL. Exodus 10:2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I [am] the LORD. Isaiah 43:10 Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Matthew 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) Luke 5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Colossians 4:6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. I John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

103 John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only? John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? LET US LOOK AT SOME SCRIPTURES ABOUT KING SOLOMON. I Kings 10:23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. I Kings 11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, [and] Hittites; I Kings 11:2 Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. I Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father. I Kings 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. I Kings 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father. I Kings 11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. I Kings 11:9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

104 II Kings 23:13 And the high places that [were] before Jerusalem, which [were] on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. I Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. Nehemiah 13:26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin. IF YOU ARE A MASON, PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION - Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? SOLOMON WAS THE WISEST AND RICHEST OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH. YET WITH ALMOST AS MUCH CERTAINTY AS WE HAVE THAT THE GOOD THIEF WHO DIED ON THE CROSS NEXT TO JESUS HAS HEAVEN AS HIS DESTINY, WE KNOW THAT SOLOMON'S DESTINY IS HELL. EVEN THOUGH SOLOMON'S WRITINGS OF SOME PSALMS, THE PROVERBS, ECCLESIASTES, AND SONG OF SONGS IS IN THE BIBLE AND INSPIRED BY GOD, SOLOMON DIED IN HIS SINS. SOLOMON HAS BEEN CREDITED WITH MORE OCCULT LITERATURE THAN WITH SACRED SCRIPTURE. HE DIED FOLLOWING HIS GOD LUCIFER WHO WAS TAKING HIM TO HELL. II Corinthians 11:13-15 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. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his (Satan's)

105 ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. I John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Luke 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 16:30-31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

106 Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. The following copied from a Masonic Bible: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS page 27 COPYRIGHT A. J. HOLMAN COMPANY 143. SYMBOL What is derivation and use of a symbol? Latin, Symbolum. A word derived from the Greek sumbolon from sumballein, to suspect, divine, compare; a word of various meanings, even with the ancients, who used it to denote a sign, a mark, watchword, signal, token, a sealring, etc., its meaning is still more various in modern times. Freemasonry is a complete system of symbolic teaching, and can be known, understood, and appreciated only by those who study its symbolism, and make themselves acquainted with its occult meaning. To such, Freemasonry has a grand and sublime significance. Its symbols are moral, philosophical and religious, and all these are pregnant with great thoughts, and reveal to the intelligent Mason the awful mystery of life, and the still more awful mystery of death.

107 Ministries Facilitating the Transition to Lausanne ~ Addendum The Israel Exploration Society, Palestine Exploration Fund and the United Grand Lodge of England Constance Cumbey on EMNR Disinformation Conferences Steeling the Mind of America Conferences John Ankerberg and The Evangelical Celebration Gary Kah and the CNP Briefing Watchman Fellowship Hank Hanegraaff/CRI Facilitates NAE Acceptance of Worldwide Church of God The Israel Exploration Society, Palestine Exploration Fund and the United Grand Lodge of England In 1865, the cream of Britain s oligarchy gathered in London, overseen by Queen Victoria personally, to found the Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF), with funding provided by the Crown, by the United Grand Lodge of freemasonry, by the Rothschilds and by the Church of England. The event was chaired by the Archbishop of York, who proclaimed that the Holy Land, was, by all rights, English property. The President and Treasurer of the PEF were, respectively, Sir Charles Warren, one of the leading freemasons in Britain (he had passed through the Royal Arch at the age of 21, one of the youngest masons in Britain ever to do so), and Sir Walter Besant (the brother-in-law of Annie Besant, controller of Britain s Theosophy cult one of extraordinary importance in British imperial designs...). British Freemasonry at this time was undergoing explosive growth, one directed by the Prince of Wales personally as Grand Master of UGLE from 1875 until he ascended the throne in 1901 In 1886, the Prince of Wales chartered the elite Quatuor Coronati lodge, described within freemasonry at the time as a revolution in world masonry. The lodge was unique, not only for ushering in a revival of the cabala, but insofar as it was founded specifically as an archaeological lodge. It s two founding officers were none other than the chairman and treasurer, respectively, of the PEF, Sir Charles Warren and Sir Walter Besant From , Warren had overseen an extensive archaeological dig under and around the Temple Mount, and had held freemasonic lodge meetings under the Mount Among the stable of academics and archeologists whose findings are used to beat the drums for rebuilding Solomon s Temple, none is more important than the Dutch-born British archaeologist Leen Ritmeyer. He was for 20 years the chief assistant to Dr. Benjamin Mazar, who was in charge of the Temple Mount for the Israeli government for decades. Ritmeyer is now a close associate of the Darbyite Temple propagandist, Dr. Randall Price, and is the anointed authority on the real location of Solomon's Temple, according to the publicity given him by the Palestine Exploration Fund and by Biblical

108 Archaeological Review, both of which regularly feature his work. He is sponsored on speaking tours by the PEF's Israeli subsidiary, the Israel Exploration Society, and has lectured to the Ateret Cohanim and to the Temple Institute of Rabbi Ariel in Jerusalem... An EIR investigator called Ritmeyer shortly after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, to inquire about his work. He reported that he had just recently found the precise resting place, inside the Islamic holy place of the Dome of the Rock, of the lost Ark of the Covenant! Even more remarkable, was the financial sponsor of the discovery : I was doing some research for a month in Jerusalem, supported by Lord Rothschild, of all people, and that is when I found the location of the Temple and the location of the Ark of the Covenant! You can still see it in the rock, very clearly. Questioned further, Ritmeyer said that the London-based Lord Jacob Rothschild had sought me out for the work, and that he had done, and continued to do, much work in an around Jerusalem for the Rothschild family.

And How To Stop It, Executive Intelligence Review, Special Report, Dec. 2000, pp. 45, 55] Constance Cumbey on EMNR Disinformation Conferences From: Constance E. Cumbey cumbey@tir.com Date: Thu, 23 Sept :10: Subject: Re: Dave Hunt as your spiritual father Dear Lois: Jackie is somebody who has hung around for a long time on supposedly anti-new Age work. She married a reporter for ETERNITY Magazine which had a vested interest (they were pro Jeremy Rifkin, sympathetic to New Age Movement) in silencing legitimate anti-new Age work. Evangelical Ministries to New Religions hosted some disinformation conferences. In 1983 they tried to set me up in southern California. It backfired on them. In March 1985 they held a conference at the Denver Seminary. We found out that security guards had been hired just in case I showed up. It was supposedly an anti-new Age seminary. They hired J. Gordon Melton, a prominent New Ager to present a paper called A CHRISTIAN RESPONSE TO THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW. Basically it was the New Age evangelical caucus pretending to fight the New Age. This was EMNR (Evangelical Ministries to New Religions). Then in 1987 it was a combination of Doug Coe (a Mark Hatfield associate), EMNR, SCP (Spiritual Counterfeits Project), Regent College (Vancouver, B.C.), Denver Seminary forces combining to host the Gold Lake Conference in Boulder, Colorado. Barbara Marx Hubbard was invited to chair that event at

109 their invitation. Jackie Alnor who was then Jackie Miller met her husband at a conference where I was one of the speakers in Phoenix in He kept pressing me for an interview and with the treatment the who [sic] subject had received from ETERNITY and knowing of his associations with Eric Pement, et al, I refused. I did not denounce him publicly as Jackie claims; however, I did let my audience know of the posture ETERNITY MAGAZINE had taken in the entire struggle and that generally the magazine had not been our friend. They married. Bill Alnor went on to head EMNR (what a surprise) and wrote a book, again attacking that contained actionable material. I nearly sued. He took excesses by very flaky evangelical/fundamentalist movements such as the datesetter whose name was I believe Edgar Whisenant. Then with headlines he accomplished something that was clearly actionable. The chapter was headed CONSIDER THE SOURCE. I was the alleged source. I saw Jackie hanging around on our bulletin boards and lists and sent her a couple of messages. Dave Hunt was a false friend for several years until I cut it off in October of I kept the matter private, however, Jackie's postings forced me to respond and are bringing it to a head. Maybe it was time that people know how insidious this battle has really been. Feel free to pass this on. Sincerely, CONSTANCE E.

The Compass, arranged above the Square, symbolizes the (male) Sun, impregnating the passive (female) Earth with its lifeproducing rays. The true meanings, then are two-fold: the earthly (human) representations are of the man and his phallus, and the woman with her receptive cteis (vagina). The cosmic meaning is that of the active Sun (deity, the Sun-god) from above, imparting life into the passive Earth, (deity, the earth/fertility goddess) below and producing new life. [source: James Shaw & Tom McKenney, Huntington House Inc., Lafayette, LA, 1988, Appendix B, p. 143] See variations of this occult symbol in: New Years Age of Horus the symbolism of the hyperdimensional double-tetrahedron evolved into various symbols such as the Egyptian Merkaba, the Star of David (through the Moses/Aknenaton connection), and the Square and Compass of Freemasonry (via Solomon's Temple). If we take one more step backwards from Egypt to Sumeria, we can find the true symbolism of the hyperdimensional double-tetrahedron which exists today as the Masonic Square and Compass. In the Sumerian writings regarding the Anunnaki, symbols were used to represent various planets as the Anunnaki entered the solar system from the outside and approached Earth. The Sumerian symbols for the planets were stars with each of them having a particular number of points correlating with the reverse numerical order of the planets when the solar system is entered from the outside. The symbol for Earth was a seven pointed star and was designated the Planet of Enlil in Sumerian writings according to the information on pages in Zecharia Sitchin's The 12th Planet. The connection of the seven pointed star to the Enlil/Seth/Sons of Belial/Nazi/Owls faction correlates with the corrupted Crowleyistic version of Egyptian mythology that was encoded in the Times Square Millennium Ball. While the planet Venus was represented by an eight pointed star (see page 262 of The

111 12th Planet ), Mars was represented by a "six-pointed star" (page 263 of The 12th Planet ) which gives us our next connection.

Missler is one of the featured speakers in Compass's Biblelands Cruise Missler's Koinonia House Ministry is also based in Coeur d'alene, Idaho.] What is the Steeling Conference All About? Debuting in 1993, Steeling The Mind of America is an annual conference organized and hosted by Compass International, Inc. [Coeur d'alene, Idaho] Usually held in August, twelve top Christian speakers are invited to make presentations on hot or difficult Christian topics. Now in its ninth year, Steeling The Mind of America has become one of the most popular Christian conferences in America. The top Christian speakers in America once again will gather in the cool mountain breezes of Keystone, Colorado for another incredible weekend to remember! From apologetics to legal issues; from Bible prophecy to the Christian lifestyle; from praise to prayer. Affectionally dubbed the "What-if-the-Lorddoesn't-come-soon" conference, expect a lot of armor to steel your mind with the truth!!!! The exchange of truthful information is one of the most critical assets we have as Christians. Today's world is driven by information, and most of it is superintended by a media force that is openly opposed to a Christian world view. In a front page story dated February 1, 1993, a Washington Post reporter referred to evangelical Christians as poor, uneducated, and easy to command. And who is in command? The media, which is liberal by its own admission, is helping to shape a very different world view. At risk are our constitutional rights, our individual freedoms, and most importantly, our children. Steeling the Mind is about getting the truth into the hands of rational, thinking Christians. Ignorance is not bliss--it's dangerous. But armed with truth, we can intelligently make those critical decisions that affect our families and businesses. To accomplish that, we're bringing together ten of the best and brightest speakers who are highly knowledgeable in their respective fields. People who will give you information, and insight, without the liberal slant. What you do with that information can make a difference. God is in control, He has a master plan, and the real privilege comes in being used as part of that plan. But reasoning people can be greatly influenced by the information they get, who they believe, and what

112 they do with it. And when God's people make major decisions based on the wrong information, the results can be far reaching. Just ask Joshua and Caleb. Make plans to attend the next Steeling The Mind of America conference in beautiful Keystone, Colorado in the heart of the Rocky Mountains!

Features an article by Michael Brown, a Messianic Jew, formerly at Brownsville Assembly of God. **Peter and Paul LaLonde -- " This Week in Bible Prophecy, aired on TBN. They also have appeared on Praise the Lord numerous times."

119 Paul La Londe is producer of the movie "Left Behind", based on the book series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. See: Left Behind & Tim LaHaye s Masonic Connections Speaking Engagements: Gary has spoken at more than 300 churches, conventions, universities and other functions in North America; and has been invited to do speaking tours in Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Universities: Gary has delivered talks at both public and private institutions of higher learning as diverse as Purdue University and Calvary Chapel Bible College. Churches: Gary has been a guest speaker at churches of various denominational backgrounds throughout the United States, Canada and the U.K. ranging from Missionary Alliance and Wesleyan Churches, to Southern Baptist, Assembly of God, and Independent Community Churches. Some of the churches where he has spoken include the following: [clip] Community Organizations: Hope For The World has held city-wide meetings in Seattle, Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis, Green Bay and other locations in conjunction with various community and church groups. More than 2,000 people have attended some of these functions to be informed and challenged by Gary's message. Debates/Testimonies: Gary has been invited to participate in both public and media organized debates on the subject of global governance. The most recent example is of a debate with former twoterm U.S. Senator, Mike Gravel, regarding his involvement in promoting the Philadelphia II Initiative... Gravel's organization, One-World, is the primary sponsor of the initiative. The debate was organized by WYLL Radio of Chicago.

120 Gary has also testified at hearings before members of the Indiana State Legislature regarding a bill calling for a Conference of the States, and has briefed members of the Council on National Policy (Nashville-1995).* In 1995 Gary was also invited by a gubernatorial candidate to run as Lieutenant Governor of Indiana. Editor s Note: CNP BRIEFINGS BY GARY KAH Kah has probably attended more than one Council for National Policy meeting. According to one researcher who heard Kah interviewed on Henry Feinberg's radio callin program [late 1990s], Kah volunteered the fact that he has been a presenter at more than just one CNP meeting. When the researcher called in to the program and asked for clarification/questions about the CNP, the program went to a commercial break with the assurance of answering her questions as soon as the interview resumed. However, after the break the discussion moved on to another topic without addressing the researcher's questions. I personally wrote to Gary Kah on two occasions October 1997 and again in 1998 asking if he had exposed the CNP in his writing and offering to pay for anything he could send. The first time I received only advertising for Kah s Hope for the World newsletter and there was no response to the second request. The Council for National Policy is a 500+ member consortium of globalists, cults, secret societies, subversive organizations, corporate enterprise and evangelical ministries. Membership of the CNP is comprised of high profile evangelical leaders who establish conservative policies and the evangelical agenda in collaboration with Knights of Malta, Opus Dei, Freemasons, Moonies, CFR members, Klu Klux Klan officials, former Nazis and Nazi collaborators, neo-nazis, Roman Catholics, and members of the Eugenics societies. For understanding of the globalist character of this organization, the reader is referred to the following in-depth reports: The Council for National Policy CNP Database of Officers and Prominent Members Charles H. Kendall Jr., Ph.D., advisor to Protecting Marriage, Inc. [PA], commented on the nature of the CNP: With secret, unpublicized meetings, and no stated mission or agenda for public benefit, the CNP strikes us as a domestic variant of the Bilderbergers, another extremely powerful and secret group of world leaders, recently described in TIME magazine. And if the CNP meets in secret and performs no public educational or charitable works, how can it maintain 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt status? QUESTIONS: What is Kah saying today about having attended the lavish and very private CNP gatherings? Is Kah speaking out publicly against the Council for National Policy at last?

121 Is he continuing to write articles for John Ankerberg's [CNP] Harbor Lighthouse? [See below] Articles/Newsletter: Gary publishes his own regular newsletter 'Hope For The World Update' and is a regular contributor to the Ankerberg Theological Research Institute website (Ankerberg, CNP). Videos: Gary was a featured guest in the video "Final Warning," produced by Peter Lalonde and Grant Jeffrey,* as well as "The New World Order" produced by Lighthouse Communications. Additional video tapes of Gary's presentations at major conventions and city-wide meetings are also available. P.O. Box 899 Noblesville, Indiana U.S.A.

Note: Grant Jeffrey wrote the foreword to Gary Kah's most recent book The New World Religion and he markets it on his Prophecy On Line web site. Jeffrey promotes the Bible Codes as being "scientific and authoritative" The Mysterious Bible Codes, The Signature of God and its sequel, The Handwriting of God, Sacred Mysteries of the Bible. Jeffrey was Hal Lindsey's guest on Lindsey's Saturday morning radio call-in program [late 90's] discussing the Bible codes. He said that Princess Diana and her fatal accident even Paul and Jan Crouch and TBN were found in the Bible codes!! Jeffrey even claims that the Oklahoma bombing is encoded. He writes, In the face of an unrelenting attack on the authority of the Scriptures, God made provision in the form of additional scientific evidence that could challenge this modern assault on the Bible. Jeffrey markets Bible and Torah Code Software Programs on his web site.

122 [Affiliate of the National Association of Evangelicals/NAE, which is under the umbrella of the World Evangelical Fellowship/WEF] Kah was featured at God's News Behind the News Prophecy Conference [Feb. 2001] with Jeffery, and Yacov Ramsel, a Messianic Rabbi who heads Messianic Ministries, Inc. Ramsel was interviewed last year by TBN's Ben Kinchlow about his book the Genesis Factor. Ramsel also made the claim that Paul and Jan Crouch were found in the Bible codes. Those Ridiculous Bible Codes! Using the ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequencing) computer program, Ramsel is considered a Bible Code authority: Those who are wise and who have observed the accuracy of ELS (especially when it is decoded by Yacov Ramsel) will realize the absolute seriousness of the above dated, prophetic ELS warnings. Because of their life and death ramifications, they have likewise been checked and verified as accurate by Mr. Ramsel. Now proceed to the web site where this quote is found for an example of Bible Codes gone haywire: The Bible's 911 Call (9/11/99, September 11, 1999)? What are the Bible Codes really? The introduction of so-called Bible Codes to Christians is nothing less than the mainstreaming of Jewish mysticism in the Christian Church. By applying various types of Kabbalistic gematria and numerology to the Bible, heretical interpretations of Scripture are purveyed under the guise of teaching the Hebrew Roots of Christianity.

[emphasis added] Hank Hanegraaff/Christian Research Institute Facilitate NAE Acceptance of Worldwide Church of God CRI Resources: CWCG - A Church Reborn with Joseph Tkach Jr., Pastor General of the WWCoG and Greg Albrecht, Editor of Plain Truth Magazine, Price: $ In this Dialog with Hank series, you will be encouraged and enlightened as Joseph Tkach and Greg Albrecht speak candidly about the transformation of the Worldwide Church of God from the kingdom of the cults to the kingdom to Christ. Abandoned are false doctrines and practices such as the denial of the Trinity and mandatory triple tithing. In their place is a sincere and absolute commitment to Scripture and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone. 3 cassette tapes. WCG Exit & Support Network Outsider s Inside Updates OIU Volume 4 Throughout 1995 and 1996, Ruth Tucker and Hank Hanegraaff were publicizing their deceptive propagandist publications and writings supporting the Worldwide Church of God. They should be hailed as the chief architects of the New Age WCG transformation of God s great plan for transforming the cult to a Christian Church. Without Hanegraaff and Tucker, the WCG conglomerate would not have been a bride made ready for Billy Graham and team. It would not have been possible to join hand in hand with Promise Keepers, work with Chuck Colson s Prison Ministries, sell and market Pat Boone videos, or to occupy various seats on National Association for

129 Evangelical (NAE). Tucker and Hanegraaff took the lead in publishing WCG history revision and absolute propaganda into the mainstream community. OIU Vol. 5, Part 2 October 2, 1995 Christianity Today The Road To Orthodoxy David Neff CT readers will be glad to know that they [WCG] are no longer considered among the harlot daughters of the Great Whore. But how will we respond? Sadly, Christians outside the WCG have been suspicious and slow to extend the right hand of fellowship. (A few leaders have been helpful, WCG leaders say: Hank Hanegraaff of the Christian Research Institute and Ruth Tucker of Trinity International University, for example; and faculty from Regent College, Fuller Seminary, and Azusa Pacific University have also helped inform the transition. Hank Hanegraaff of Christian Research Institute, James Walker and Phil Arnn of Watchman Fellowship, Ruth Tucker of Trinity Evangelical University, Michael Kellner and Larry Neff of Christianity Today were among the most prominent mouthpieces for the WCG publicity campaign during the past five years. Watchman Fellowship conducted WCG update seminars in `94, `95 and `96 at the Evangelical Conference. Each seminar message propelled the WCG effort and propaganda into the ears of smaller Christian ministries and Evangelicals whose only venue to what was happening in the WCG was through the mouths of these main groups and spokespersons for the WCG. Hank Hanegraaff extended the WCG media blitz, as he claimed his own fame as the hero who guided the cult to orthodoxy and marketed that message as a money producer for his own agenda. Ruth Tucker claimed her fame through error-punctuated articles in popular Christian magazines. LA Times Religion writer, Larry B. Stammer, proved himself a pawn in the game as he honored the tailored press releases delivered to him directly by the WCG spin-doctors. He printed the party line-without question.3 See article in July 15, 1996 issue of Christianity Today with Hanegraaff s words: Acceptance into mainstream evangelicalism has come slowly and there has been, in some instances, opposition, largely from cult-watching groups that, in the words of Joseph Tkach, Jr., made the journey ten times more difficult. But there have been exceptions. Hank Hanegraaff of the Christian Research Institute, successor to the late Walter Martin on The Bible Answer Man broadcast, speaks with a different voice: Rather than developing hurdles for these guys to jump over, our job is to facilitate the process. In a recent radio interview with Tkach, Jr., and Albrecht, Hanegraaff introduced them as brothers in the Lord. D. James Kennedy, senior minister of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Florida, says: This is the most astonishing change that I have ever seen or heard of in any religious group, for which I, for one, praise God.

130 NOTE: Removed from Hank Hanegraaff s Biography on the CRI website: He was later discipled under the ministry of Dr. D. James Kennedy and served as a staff member of Dr. Kennedy's Evangelism Explosion International. Hank went on to become the director of the Personal Witness Training Program (which he developed) at Dr. Paul Walker's 10,000 member Mount Paran Church of God in Atlanta, Georgia, and served as a faculty member of the Development Association for Christian Institutions. See original biography of Hank Hanegraaff, below. Excerpt from letter from Hanegraaff to his supporters, dated April 13, 1998: You see -- Millennial Madness [video] was produced by an arm of a former cult called the Worldwide Church of God. Their magazine, The Plain Truth, was once so fixated on prediction addiction that I used to refer to them tongue-in-cheek as Armageddon Incorporated. But then something extraordinary happened. The leaders of the Worldwide Church of God were marvelously transformed by the gospel of God's grace. I praise God that the Christian Research Institute and the Bible Answer Man broadcast played a part in this miraculous transformation. Tkach/WCG Transformation? When questioned as to his own personal salvation experience, Tkach replied Everyone has his own experience. Many of us came to Christ in the Worldwide Church. Herbert Armstrong, in spite of errors he taught, had a high view of Scripture. A statement issued by the WWCG leaders declared We believe our journey out of the world of cults, unbiblical teaching and legalism into the mainstream of the body of Christ can help us minister to others, helping them to avoid similar pitfalls. However, when examining the WWCG doctrinal statement, one has trouble considering it to be an Evangelical, much less Fundamentalist, statement on basic doctrine-especially, the Scriptures. They offered the Bible as the fully reliable record of God's revelation to humanity. One can ask if the Bible is God's revelation to humanity or is it just a record of it? A reliable record to tell us about God s revelation is not the same as God s revelation. A Fundamentalist would declare that the Bible is God's revelation of His Person, His works, and His will for humanity. [source: American Council of Christian Churches, NRB Annual Convention, 1997] Original Hanegraaff Bio on CRI website: Hank Hanegraaff serves as president and chairman of the board of the California-based Christian Research Institute International (CRI). He also hosts CRI's Bible Answer Man program, which is broadcast daily across the United States and Canada. Raised as a member of the Christian Reformed Church, Hank came to faith in Jesus Christ as a result of examining the scientific

131 evidence for creation, the resurrection of Jesus, and the inspiration of Scriptures. He was later discipled under the ministry of Dr. D. James Kennedy and served as a staff member of Dr. Kennedy's Evangelism Explosion International. Hank went on to become the director of the Personal Witness Training Program (which he developed) at Dr. Paul Walker's 10,000 member Mount Paran Church of God in Atlanta, Georgia, and served as a faculty member of the Development Association for Christian Institutions. CRI's founder, Dr. Walter Martin, personally selected Hank to succeed him as president of CRI - a careful choice demonstrating that a committed layman, showing himself approved by studying and correctly handling the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15), can effectively reach out to those trapped by false religious systems and beliefs. Dr. Martin insisted that Hank present himself as a layman rather than a "credentialed" expert to prove that, as Hank puts it, "If I can do it, anyone can!" Hank points out that, "This is not the day of the priest, but the priesthood of all believers - a day when all members of the body of Christ need to be equipped to share and defend the gospel once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). When Dr. Martin selected Hank as the leader who would take CRI into the decade of the 1990s and beyond, he said, "Hank personifies the next phase of development for CRI and is uniquely equipped through his dynamic leadership abilities, knowledge of God's Word, and teaching ability to make sound biblical apologetics a simple yet effective tool in the hands of the laity. His success as a businessman, strategic planner, author and speaker have equipped him to lead the ministry of the Christian Research Institute aggressively into the future and to build on the work that I, by God's grace, began." Hank founded Memory Dynamics which utilized memory techniques designed to prepare Christians to communicate effectively (1) what they believe, (2) why they believe it, and (3) where non-christian and pseudo-christian groups deviate from historic Christianity so that believers are always ready to give an answer - a reason for the hope that lies within them with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). Hank is heard daily as host of the nationally syndicated Bible Answer Man radio program. He is the author of Counterfeit Revival, a Silver Medallion winner and Christianity in Crisis, a Gold Medallion winner by the Evangelical Christian Publisher's

132 Association. Hank's recent book, The F.A.C.E. that Demonstrates the Farce of Evolution, was released in early October, Other books which he has written include Personal Witness Training: Your Handle on the Great Commission and Memory Dynamics: Your Untapped Resource for Spiritual Growth. He is also a regular contributor to The Christian Research Journal and The Plain Truth Magazine. Among his recent media appearances are interviews with Peter Jennings, on ABC television, and Larry King Live, on CNN television. A popular conference speaker, he has addressed churches, schools and businesses worldwide. Hank lives in Southern California with his wife, Kathy and their eight children, Michelle, Katie, David, John Mark, Hank Jr., Christina, Paul and Faith. Answers to the quotes: who said what?

Chapter Seven: Showbiz Do I dare talk about Christian television? I think I'd better. Let us take a look at what has happened to our Christian television networks. We have Jim Bakker, on PTL; you have 700 Club with Pat Robertson, and the biggie here on the West Coast is Paul and Jan Crouch with their TBN. They all have something in common. They all have nuns and priests on their programs. I have watched Paul and Jan on Channel 40, and sometimes, I feel so heavy hearted. I watch all these nuns and priests coming on. Once I heard Paul and Jan saying, "Oh, I don't understand the mass, but it's very interesting." God has warned us as Christians to have nothing to do with the works of darkness.

145 They have a priest that they're sponsoring on their network program. His name is Manning. He wistfully looks at the Protestants and begs for funds to sponsor Catholic missionaries. Christians are depriving their own pastors and their own churches by sending their money in to TBN for this priest. Those dear little old grandmothers send him love offerings and it is only making the Vatican wealthier. There's going to be a lot to give an account for, beloved. We've ended up with Christian show business. We have a bunch of new stars singing snappy little songs and swinging hymns, beating drums, wearing sequins, and telling us how good Jesus is. We can watch a variety of speakers and singers for hours on end. So who reads the Bible when they can watch Christian television? It looks like it has replaced the Word of God for many. They're looking at people instead of going to the Bible for answers, and getting their noses into history to find out what's going on. Some people have Channel 40 and PTL on like a rabbit's foot. They figure God's going to bless them because they have this holy program on. I have a friend whose Dad is an unsaved Roman Catholic. This man goes to mass, beats his wife, swears like a sailor, drinks his booze, but he watches Christian television every night. The house is filled with statues of saints and the Virgin Mary, the crucifix. He gets blind drunk. He sits there with his cigar and his booze, with his feet up on the chair, and he watches Paul and Jan. He is convinced, after watching the Catholics on that network, that he is on his way to heaven. When his son-in-law tries to witness to him, he points to the smiling priests and nuns on those Christian stations and says, "See? We're all Christians." I believe this man's blood is going to be on their hands. The Vatican now has a satellite and soon the pope will be able to speak to every Roman Catholic on the face of this earth at the same time. Beloved, if you play footsies with the Vatican, you lose. I believe in the future you will see that our Christian television heroes with giant ministries will soon be picked off one by one. All of the biggies will fall for one reason or another. And the last hero alive will be his holiness in the Vatican, and the world will love him.

146 Our Sunday Visitor, April 26, 1981 A national Catholic television network is no longer a dream. A vast telecommunications network is already rapidly taking shape within the Church and the U.S. planners say that between fall and next January, some 75 dioceses will be utilizing the Westar communications satellite through a series of earth stations. Technical plans have been no problem and, in fact, are well advanced. The estimated 75 diocesan earth stations, called downlinks, will get most of their broadcast material, via satellite, from one or two program distribution points, called uplinks. One of those uplinks will certainly be in New York. If a second is built, it will be on the West Coast, possibly San Francisco or Los Angeles. The uplinks will be operated by the newly incorporated National Catholic Telecommunications Network. And the satellite owned by Western Union will be leased, at first, for five hours a day, five days a week. Next year, however, additional time will be sought on the new RCA satellite, and within two to three years, planners hope to be using a satellite round-theclock. The technical consultant, Satellite System Engineering, in Washington, DC, has been working since last September on design specifications for the earth stations, both the uplinks and downlinks. They have also been evaluating bidders for constructing the system. At this point Microwave and quality program material, for which the system has a voracious appetite, Success depends on the quality of the programming. The cost will take care of itself, if the quality of the programming is good. For the first time, the Church provides a good alternative home video environment, there will be no problem. The magnititude of the plan, according to Father Michael J. Dempsey, a Brooklyn priest who is the satellite project director, can easily be compared to the bishops' decision last century when they agreed to build a Catholic school system. They opted for the system in order to educate the large Catholic immigration after the 1840s, but "without knowing the problems it would represent. But they built it as a way of being Church to this new world of people which had suddenly swelled to 10 million in 10 years." The satellite system, by comparison, is the most adventuresome and certainly the most costly undertaking the bishops have ever embarked upon. Unlike the school system, however, the enormous cost of the system is intended to get income from both Protestant and Catholic viewers, and is "eminently successful economically." Its annual income is roughly between $300 and $500 million. For Father Dempsey, such examples offer reassurance that the communication satellite project will not be taking money from CCD or schools or the parish. In fact, if there were any sign that it would threaten the... satellite. These can be redistributed locally to cover all the cable systems and
