-Caveat Lector- This looks like a very interesting website... Watch Unto Prayer: http://watch.pair.com/pray.html The following is from the website. It's Part 2 of the article: http://watch.pair.com/ritual.html MODERN-DAY KNIGHTS TEMPLAR IN THE HOLY LAND In 1099, the original Knights Templar established their Jerusalem headquarters in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, "The knights and monks who occupied the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also installed by Godfroi [de Bouillon], were formed into an official and duly constituted 'order' -- the Order of the Holy Sepulchre." [p.112] Two centuries later, by 1291, the Western crusaders were thrust out of the Holy Land by the Saracens and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was lost to the Roman Empire. The Templars, who had absorbed the esoteric Kabbalism of the Mideast and brought it to Europe, fell into disfavor with the Holy Roman Empire and, in 1309, Pope Clement V and King Philippe IV of France dissolved the Order. Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, was executed in 1314 and the knights of the Order of the Temple were either executed or fled Europe for safety. In Scotland, a Templar refuge, Robert the Bruce made a vow to go to Jerusalem and reclaim that city from the Saracens. However "In 1329, Bruce died. . . Before his death, he had expressed the wish that his heart be removed, placed in a casket, taken to Jerusalem and buried in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre" the original Templar headquarters. [Temple & Lodge, p.39] Robert the Bruce's heart never reached Jerusalem and was returned to Scotland where it was buried in Melrose Abbey. The Templars kept alive his dream to reclaim the Holy Land and it is therefore conceivable that the heart of Alisdair Sinclair was a substitute for that of Robert the Bruce. Burial in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre would symbolize claim of the Sinclairs, as the head of the Merovingian dynasty (aka, the royal bloodline of Jesus Christ), to be the rightful heirs of the throne of Jerusalem. Traitors and Carpetbaggers in the Promised Land, by Barry Chamish, includes a chapter on the Masonic control of Jerusalem which is reproduced on our website. Masons Busted in Tel Aviv mentions the real reason for the Masonic presence: "The Masons covet the Temple Mount, site of Solomon's Temple, because their mythology has the organization being established by one Hiram, the mason who supposedly built the Temple three thousand ears ago."
