In the instruction of the First Degree, it is said that our ancient Brethren worshipped a deity under the name of Fides or Fidelity, which was sometimes represented by two right hands joined, and sometimes by two human figures holding each other by the right hands. The deity here referred to was the goddess Fides, to whom Numa first erected temples, and whose priests were covered by a white veil as a symbol of purity which should characterize Fidelity (phoenixmasonry.org). 3

4 4) According to Revelation 13:1-2, where does the authority of the first beast power come from? (00:04:20) 5) Who is the first beast (Revelation 13:1-10)? 6) Who really has all the power and authority (Matthew 28:19)? 7) Did Christ give the beasts their power? 8) Who is the dragon (Revelation 12:9)? 4 TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211

5 Secret SOCIETIES # 211 9) Where does Gary H. Kah suggest that all secret societies originally come from? (00:07:10) 10) According to Gary Kah, what groups are controlled by the Illuminati? (00:07:45) 5

6 11) The following terms are used throughout this lecture. Find their definitions below: Esoteric: Esoteric Christianity is an ensemble of spiritual currents which regard Christianity as a mystery religion, and profess the existence and possession of certain esoteric doctrines or practices of which the public is unaware (or even to which they may be denied access) but which are understood by a small group of people. Exoteric: belonging to the outer or less initiate circle. Suitable to be imparted to the public, such as the exoteric doctrine. Luminary: A person with great influence who is enlightened and well versed in a particular aspect of their beliefs. Goyem: Term for cattle or those ignorant of religion. Kabbalah: Ancient Jewish tradition of mystical interpretation of the Bible, first transmitted orally and using esoteric methods (including ciphers). Gnosticism: A prominent heretical movement of the 2nd-century Christian Church, partly of pre-christian origin. Gnostic doctrine taught that the world was created and ruled by a lesser divinity, the demiurge, and that Christ was an emissary of the remote supreme divine being, esoteric knowledge (gnosis) of whom enabled the redemption of the human spirit. 12) Give three examples of Gnostic doctrines hidden behind common doctrines: TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211

7 The Jesuit ORDER # ) What is the Jesuit Order? (00:19:35) 14) Who started it, and when? (00:19:40) 15) What are the most alarming points in the Jesuit oath? (00:21:50) 16) What did Catholic philosopher Thomas Aquinas say about the Pope s dominion according to Luther Kauffman? (00:35:50) 7

8 17) According to the following quotes, what is the relationship between Jesuitism and Protestantism? Leone s The Secret Plan, as quoted in Eric Jon Phelps, Vatican Assassins (2001): : We cherish at the bottom of our hearts this principle that whatever does not unite with us must be ANNIHILATED and we hold ourselves ready to make as soon as we shall have the means, an energetic application of these principles. Protestantism is already wearing out and sinking to decay. Yes we are destined to insult its last agonies, to march over its broken skeleton and scattered bones. O let us hasten this dissolution by our strong and united efforts. Protestantism is becoming decomposed; it is falling to pieces. We are beginning to gain from it men of note and there are even high personages whom we have succeeded in convincing that if they continue to uphold Protestantism, they are lost. Ellen White, The Great Controversy (1888): 234: Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced by formidable foes. The first triumphs of the Reformation past, Rome summoned new forces, hoping to accomplish its destruction. At this time the order of the Jesuits was created, the most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from earthly ties and human interests, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power. 18) Does this same dynamic still exist? 8 TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211

9 The Order of FREEMASONRY 19) What prominent secret society is linked with the Jesuit order? # 211 The crest of Freemasonry. Hecketthorn, as quoted in Lady Queensborough Edith Starr Miller, Occult Theocracy (1887): 313: There is considerable analogy between Masonic and Jesuit degrees, and the Jesuits also tread down the shoe and bear the knee because Ignatius Loyola thus presented himself at Rome and asked for the confirmation of the order. John Daniel, The Grand Design Exposed (Middleton, Idaho: CHJ Pulishing, 1999) 302: The truth is, the Jesuits of Rome have perfected Freemasonry to be their most magnificent and effective tool accomplishing their purposes among Protestants. 9

10 Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled (New York: J.W. Bouton, 1891): 390: It is curious to note too that most of the bodies which work these, such as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the Rite of Avignon, the Order of the Temple... Prince Masons, etc. etc., are nearly all the offspring of the sons of Ignatius Loyola. James Patron, as quoted in Mary Francis Cusack, The Black Pope (London: Marshall, Russell and Co., 1896): 76. If you trace up Masonry, through all of its orders, you will come to the grand tip-top, head Mason of the world, you will discover that the dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus are one and the same person! Knights TEMPLAR 20) Who was the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar? (00:13:05) 21) Who were the Knights Templar? (00:14:00) 22) This secret society is affiliated with which religious organization? (00:14:35) 23) What are some of the obscene doctrines and practices of the Knights Templar according to the history recorded below? (00:15:20) 10 TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211

11 Nesta Webster, Secret Societies and Subversive Movements (London: Boswell Publishing Co., 1924): # 211 The King of France, Philippe le Bel, who had hitherto been the friend of the Templars, now became alarmed and urged the Pope to take action against them; but before the Pope was able to find out more about the matter, the King took the law into his own hands and had all the Templars in France arrested on October 13, The following charges were then brought against them by the Inquisitor for France before whom they were examined: Jacques de Molay in Templar Garb 1. The ceremony of initiation into their Order was accompanied by insults to the Cross, the denial of Christ, and gross obscenities. 2. The adoration of an idol which was said to be the image of the true God. 3. The omission of the words of consecration at Mass. 4. The right that the lay chiefs arrogated to themselves of giving absolution. 5. The authorization of unnatural vice. 24) Which group was formed out of the Templars? (00:19:25) 11

12 The Order of MALTA 25) What are the Knights of Malta and what role do they play? (00:54:00) Edith Simon, The Knights of Maltese Cross, Horizon Volume 11: 4 (New York: James Parton, 1961): 69. Headquartered in Rome, these Knights of the Papal Caesar control the Banking, Industry and Military Complexes of the world. They oversee Chase Manhattan Bank with branches in Moscow and New York. They rule the International Intelligence Community, the KGB in east and the CIA in the west, in restoring the despotism of the Dark Ages. Kevin Knight, Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia (2009): newadvent.org/cathen: The most important of all the military orders, both for the extent of its area and for its duration. It is said to have existed before the Crusades and is not extinct at the present time. 26) The Maltese cross is the main symbol of the Knights of Malta. Where do we see this symbol being used today? Maltese crosses on Pope Benedict XVI s robe 12 TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211

14 The Knights of COLUMBUS 27) What are the Knights of Columbus? Knights of Columbus crest. Jeremiah Crowley, Romanism: A Menace to the Nation (Wheaton Illinois: Jeremiah Crowley, 1912): 155. The Knights of Columbus, founded at New Haven, Connecticut, February 2, 1882, by Rev. M. J. McGivney, curate of St. Mary s Church...had on January 1, 1905, a total membership of 127,206 persons, 43,537 of whom were insured and 83,669 were associate members. They are now (1912) said to be over 300,000 strong... An adroit feature of this organization, to which Roman Catholics only are eligible, is the initiative service of four degrees...they work in collusion with the Hierarchy, and are heart and soul in politics. This fact is well known to political machines and non- Catholic politicians, whose candidates must receive approval of Rome and the Knights before they dare nominate them for either dog pound or presidency. The Knights of Columbus...principle business is politics, aye, Jesuitical politics. 14 TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211

15 Secret Societies and POLITICS # ) What is the Skull and Bones Society? (01:00:45) 30) Other than Austan Goolsbee, President Barack Obama s chief economist of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which other notable American politicians are members of Skull and Bones? (01:03:10) 31) What is the Bohemian Club, and who are some of the prominent members? (01:09:25) 32) What did George H. W. Bush say about the idea of a new world order in his State of the Union address? (01:18:38) George Bush Address Before a Joint Session of the Congress on the State of the Union January 29, presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=19253 What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big idea: a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind -- peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle and worthy of our children s future. [...] The world can, therefore, seize this opportunity to fulfill the long-held promise of a new world order, where brutality will go unrewarded and aggression will meet collective resistance. 15

16 The Papacy and POLITICS 33) Who else is pushing for a new world order, according to the quotes below (all emphases added)? 1967: Pope Paul VI, Populorum Progressio We look to all men of good will, reminding them that civil progress and economic development are the only road to peace. Delegates to international organizations, public officials, gentlemen of the press, teachers and educators all of you must realize that you have your part to play in the construction of a new world order ( encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_ _populorum_ en.html). 2004: Pope calls for a new world order The Guardian Pope John Paul II launched one of the most important diplomatic initiatives of his long papacy yesterday when he called for a new international order to replace the one that emerged from the second world war. Though he did not offer a detailed plan, his words appeared to show he wanted the UN replaced in light of its failure to block the use of force by America in Iraq ( world/2004/jan/02/catholicism.religion). 2009: Pope calls for a new world order Brisbane Times Pope Benedict XVI has proposed a new world political authority with real teeth, possibly in place of the United Nations, to enforce an ethical financial order and end the global financial crisis ( 2012: New World Order? The Examiner Pope Benedict XVI is calling for the construction of a world community, with a corresponding authority, to serve the common good of the human family. 16 TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211

17 # 211 The pope made his call for a new world authority on Dec. 3, while speaking to a plenary session of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. The Council is scheduled to meet for three days to discuss the theme of political authority and global governance ( 34) Why do you think the Papacy wants this new world order so badly? 35) What did Jesus say about His coming Kingdom (John 18:36)? 36) What has He promised to those who love Him? 17

18 My DECISION For Jesus 1 Timothy 3:16 says this: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Do you see how the papacy and secret societies work hand in hand to achieve world domination? Have you seen that Bible prophecy is being played out in our world, substantiated by hard facts? It s important to be aware of the times we live in. Would you like to commit to Jesus now? Tell Him this: Jesus, you are the only One who can save me. You are the only One worthy of my worship. I want to follow You all the way to those heavenly mansions you ve prepared for me. 18 TOTAL ONSLAUGHT STUDY GUIDE DVD #211
