Knights Templar in the Holy Land
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." Barry's reference here is to the Legend of Hiram Abiff,
a Masonic version of the Egyptian legend of Isis and Osiris which,
as the theme of the initiation ceremony of a Master Mason (3º),
dramatizes the demise of the ancient pagan gods and their mystery
religion (due to the spread of Christianity) and also their future
resurrection.
In his expose on Yitzhak Rabin's
autopsy, Barry Chamish also mentioned that Alisdair Sinclair's death seemed to
be in some way connected with "Britain's early and deep interest in
Zionism, their reverance for Chaim Weizmann, the Balfour Declaration, The
British-Israel Society, the Round Table policies of Cecil
Rhodes and Lord Milner and the like." Today, the British
Freemasons plan to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem, ostensibly to
reinstitute the Old Testament sacrificial system. Their feigned
patronage will deceive the Jews for a time, however their ultimate goal is
to reestablish the ancient mystery religion. Mike Noe has provided some fascinating information
relevant to the interest and current activity of the British Freemasons in
Jerusalem, particularly in the holy sites:
. . .the Garden Tomb has Masonic
connections and the land adjacent to the compound where Christ was crucified
was sold by them to the Muslims and is now the site of an Arab bus station
and Mosque. This occurred several years ago after an amateur
archaeologist discovered several key things to Christ's crucifixion and key
items from Solomon's Temple underground in the area of the crucifixion known
also as Golgotha and as Gordon's Calvary of General Gordon fame. I read it
in a small passing excerpt from an article your ministry wrote or was linked
to. Anyway, I made the connection to General Gordon who I now
believe from what I read was a Mason and died in Khartoum having been
murdered which also mentioned in the excerpt I read. The excerpt referred to
his death said he was a Mason and a reputed pedophile.
[Editor's note: This is a reference to a portion
of Anton Chaitkin's expose of the British origins of
Pentecostalism: British
Subversion of the United States: Who is wagging your neighbor's tongue?
The Militias and
Pentecostalism:
". . . [Gen. Benton] Partin is a founder
and board member of the Front Line Fellowship, a group of
commando-missionaries taking active part in the war against Sudan and
other African states viewed as enemies of the British Crown. The
Fellowship members are former "scouts" of the South African
Army. Partin describes his partner, Fellowship leader Peter Hammond, as
a "former South African army and government officer."
"That General Partin's
"Christian" organization is at heart merely the British
military irregulars, who are generally incinerating Africa to recolonize
it, may be judged from the Fellowship's book, Faith Under Fire in
Sudan. Chapter Three is a celebration of Charles "Chinese"
Gordon, who led British regulars in a war in China against the uprising
of a British-organized pseudo-Protestant cult. After 20 million Chinese
died in this game, Gordon was sent to try to subdue Sudan as Britain's
governor, but he died, defeated at the hands of Sudanese nationalist
forces. Chinese Gordon was not a drunken homosexual pederast,
Partin's group says, but Britain's Christian model for us to follow into
war." (Anton Chaitkin)]
This same General [Gordon] paved the way for the
British through the Garden Tomb Association to purchase what is now the
Garden Tomb and the adjacent land known as Golgotha and "Gordon's
Calvary". ["The Garden Tomb Guide Book" 1994, p. 26;
1996 edition states Gordon was murdered in Khartoum, i.e., Sudan.] In order
for this to occur they would have needed the help of the Masonic entity
"The Palestine Exploration Fund" (Albert Mackey's encyclopedia
states this) formed and funded by British Freemasons to discover and take
control of historical sites in Israel.
"The British monarchy and its prime
ministers and Foreign Office fabricated British Israelism in the
nineteenth century, from earlier versions of the story. They claimed
that Queen Victoria was descended from the Biblical King David, and was
thus a descendant of the Davidic family tree that produced Jesus. They
taught that the tribes of Israel wandered into northern Europe; that by
this supposed genealogy, the British are the real Chosen People, and the
British Empire is thus God's empire.
"The modern Jews, by this British
account, are not the historical Hebrews of Old Testament Israel, but
rather, the British are. But, says the British Israel myth, in a leap of
logic, the Jews need to be put into Palestine, to fulfill prophecy, get
slaughtered in a war with the Muslims, and bring about the End Times.
"To provide fuel for this mythology, the
royal family asked the British Grand Lodge of Freemasonry to establish
the Palestine Exploration Fund. In the 1870s, they dispatched
soldier-archeologists to the Holy Land, to dig up supposed religious
relics that might impress the cheap fancies of the beggarly
masses." (Anton
Chaitkin)
Interestingly enough Gordon was discovering these
things and in Jerusalem at the very same time Robert Morris from Kentucky
(founder of Eastern Star) was reintroducing Freemasonry to Israel. They
started holding ritual ceremonies in Zedekiah's Cave which is a stone's
throw from the Garden Tomb and Gordon's Calvary (I believe both are correct
in location). Today the Masons meet in that cave and the largest chamber is
known as "Freemasons Hall". You can see the coal and soot
etched symbols, arcane messages, and names going back to 1881 when
Morris et al started their activities there.
I have relying on circumstantial and partial
evidence to put this all together, but I am quite confident it will fit and
hold together upon investigation.
. . .it was Robert Morris who
founded Eastern Star and is credited with officially reintroducing
Masonry to Israel in 1872. He started meeting in Zedekiah's caves
around this same time, and performed some type of very important
ritual there in his "reintroduction" of Freemasonry. I
actually walked around the chamber they used, and as I mentioned saw the
names and the dates of the these pioneering Masons. Morris wrote abut this
ceremony and even published a copy of the map leading to the chamber in
Zedekiah's cave. I contacted a man who found the map and used it to go into
the chamber area and pray in intercessory prayer against this abominable
ceremony. General Gordon would have been there in Jerusalem, at
this exact time as well!! My source for more info. on Gordon comes
from a Garden Tomb publication I bought in Israel. They would have
been in the same cave system running up to the Garden Tomb and Calvary it is
all within 100-200 yards the Zedekiah's cave system.
According to Albert Mackey in his encyclopedia
King Solomon discovered Enoch's deposit (i.e. Enoch arched vault temple) and
"On this hallowed spot was Christ the redeemer slain and buried."
Thus "Gordon's Calvary" as it was known became the Garden Tomb and
adjacent Golgotha. I believe it was Christ's crucifixion site and have
talked to people who years ago excavated under that site and found
convincing proof. It has been denied now by the Garden Tomb folks and
they sold Golgotha to the Arabs and it now has a mosque and bus station
sitting on top of this important site. In essence they sold to the pagans
one of the most key sites in Christendom. It had church sitting upon it as a
matter of evidence from the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D.
As for the "Palestine Exploration Fund"
Albert Mackey in his dictionary mentions that it was used to find "many
important discoveries, especially interesting to Masons". He also
states it is controlled by the English society; no doubt made up of Masons.
I have attached some more eyebrow raising
information I have researched. It is in the form of my notes. The references
to the Masonic Lodge come from a video presentation of a written interview
with Malachi Martin and from reading David Yallop's book [In God's
Name] on the apparent murder of John Paul I twenty-five years ago.
Satan's Plan to Thwart
God
Since the great flood, evil was reintroduced by
Ham, Canaan and Nimrod into the culture of man. The oldest post-flood
pagan altars and worship are in Israel. Nimrod consolidated the
worship of Satan and himself under a new religion. Shem put a stop to
it as he cut Nimrod to pieces and spread his remains throughout the world.
The Mysteries of Babylon were spread underground
to the various cultures through Ham's descendants. The Canaanites
inhabited the land promised to Shem's seed, thus, God drove them out under
the forces of Israel years later. Satan's plan was for Canaan's descendants to defile the Promised
Land and thwart God's plans.
Orthodox rabbis believe that Shem was
Melchizedek, that Salem is derived from Shem (i.e. "Shem's
city") and that Enoch and Shem established a holy priesthood on Mount
Moriah. The Freemasons claim that the Templars found the pillar of
Enoch under the Temple Mount along with other great writings and treasures.
They also believe Adam was buried on Moriah. The Temple of Enoch,
according to the Masons, was originally in the cave system where they cut
stone and Jesus was crucified.
Most of the modern excavations are by the
"Palestine Exploration Fund" which is a Masonic entity. The
Masons like the caves and caverns of Moriah to perform their rituals, which
they do to this day, especially in Zedekiah's cave, also known as King
Solomon's stables near where Christ was crucified on Golgotha. Their
aim is to enthrone the Antichrist as the Messiah in Jerusalem in a new
temple.
Satan was enthroned in two Masonic rituals in the
Vatican and the Washington, D.C. Masonic Temple in 1963, according to
Malachi Martin in interviews about his book "Windswept House", and
other reputable sources. This came almost 4 months before JFK was
assassinated as part of "the killing of the Divine King" - part of
Masonic subterfuge. It all altered the course of human history for
evil, not good as many historians and Christian teachers recognize that 1963
was a pivotal year in America leading to radical changes here and abroad.
The Freemasons have come to acknowledge their
strong grounding in the Cabala, which according to Albert Mackey, was given
to them by angels, then Adam-Noah and Abraham. Other Masonic leaders
attributed it to Enoch and Nimrod. To say the least, it is an eclectic
mix of ancient knowledge and occultism that has always been used for evil.
They rightly refer to it as Kabbalist theosophy, and it is this same
theosophy that Malachi Martin identifies was behind the satanic enthronement
ceremonies of 1963. Other experts such as European detective David Yallop
identify it as the P-2 Masonic lodge ceremony of 1963 in the Vatican.
Masons teach that the Ark of the Covenant was
burned up in the ravaging of the first temple. They believe other
items and writings were hidden under the temple and it was here that Solomon
had discovered Enoch's temple and chose it to be the site of his temple to
Yahweh. The Templars, a group of nine European knights, absconded with
the treasures under the temple court, which revealed the ancient mystery
religions practiced in the defiled temple and have a strong connection to
the Cabala and Gnostic heresies of the Church age. The Templars/Masons
deny Jesus was divine, but they admit His descendency from David. They
suggest He was crucified for betraying the secrets of God or the
society/religious movements He supposedly identified with such as the
Zealots and Essenes.
The Masons of course, inspired by mystery
religions, deny Christ as the true Messiah and Son of God and exalt Lucifer
the enlightened one who is worshipped in many forms.
The Masons believe that under the bowels of
Calvary is Enoch's arched vault and deposited on the foundation stone of
Masonry that "Ineffable Name." King Solomon
discovered Enoch's deposit during the building of the temple "On this
hallowed spot was Christ the redeemer slain and buried." This is
a sacred spot for Freemasonry. They believe Shem indeed was the King
of Salem, known as Melchizidek. They like the caves and caverns for
their rituals, as it derives great power and
symbolism.
According to a Masonic
book, The Second Messiah, the patriarch Enoch who walked with God and
was translated, foresaw the great deluge and engraved in hieroglyphics the great
secrets of science and building upon two great pillars so that civilization
could be rebuilt from this knowledge. In Scottish Rite Freemasonry, initiation
rites are based on this legend of Enoch's pillars.
"The thirteenth degree [of the Ancient
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry] is 'The Royal Arch of Enoch' or 'The Master of
the Ninth Arch' and it is set at the time of the building of Solomon's
Temple three thousand years ago. It is very much a 'pesher' of the Holy
Royal Arch Degree, which is the story of the Knights Templar removing a
keystone in the ruins of Herod's Temple and lowering themselves down into a
subterranean vault that contains an ancient scroll.
"The degree tells how, in times long
before Moses and Abraham, the ancient figure of Enoch foresees that the
world will be overwhelmed by an apocalyptic disaster through flood or fire,
and he determines to preserve at least some of the knowledge then known to
man, that it may be passed on to future civilizations of survivors. He
therefore engraves in hieroglyphics the great secrets of science and
building on to two pillars: one made of brick and the other of
stone.
"The Masonic legend goes on to tell how
these pillars were almost destroyed, but sections survived the Flood and
were subsequently discovered -- one by the Jews, the other by the Egyptians
-- so that civilization could be rebuilt from the secrets that had been
engraved on to them. Fragments of one pillar were found by workmen during
the excavations for the foundations of King Solomon's Temple. Whilst
preparing the site in Jerusalem three thousand years ago the top of a vault
or arch was uncovered, and one of the masons was lowered into the vault
where he found relics of the great pillar of knowledge. . .
"The next degree, 'Scotch Knight
of Perfection', is set in a room which has at its centre the reassembled
fragments of Enoch's pillar, inscribed with hieroglyphics. It is claimed
that King Solomon created a 'Lodge of Perfection' to rule over the thirteen
lower degrees, and its members held their first secret meeting in the sacred
vault of Enoch beneath the partly constructed Temple of Solomon." [Knight and Lomas, The Second
Messiah, pp. 204-5]
The relics of one pillar of Enoch were removed to
Scotland, where Sir William Sinclair had welcomed the Knights Templars and
became their Grand Master, the Sinclairs since that time being the hereditary
grand masters of Scotland:
"The twenty-ninth degree [of
Scottish Rite Freemasonry] has three possible names: the 'Knight of St
Andrew', the 'Patriarch of the Crusades' or 'Grand Master of Light'. It is
said to have originated when the Knights Templar fled from Palestine,
bringing with them the relics of the pillar of Enoch, and used three of its
stones to form the foundation of the first lodge of Knight Masons in
Scotland." [The Second Messiah,
p. 215]
It is true that Freemasonry did
not arrive in Jerusalem in 1099, but was practiced in Solomon's Temple as the ancient
mystery religion of Egypt/Babylon with its heathen gods and
rituals which are termed "abominations" in Holy
Scripture. These practices were strictly proscribed by the Lord,
who judged Judah and Israel by sending both nations into captivity for
their disobedience. Whether or not Solomon himself created a "Lodge of
Perfection" to rule over the lower degrees, Scripture does inform us that a
lodge existed in the first Temple which was attended by "seventy men
of the ancients of the house of Israel." (Ezek. 8:11)
Ezekiel the prophet also describes
an inner chamber in the Temple where these elders worshipped "every
form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house
of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about." (v. 10) The chamber
in Ezekiel 8 is the pattern which the Freemasons have sought to replicate
in Zedekiah's Cave as described above and is the location in which they
hold rites of initiation to the higher degrees. A proper understanding of Ezekiel 8 is therefore
needed to understand the type of idol and ritual which will be
reestablished in the temple rebuilt by the modern Knight Templar
who will be the Antichrist.
Ezekiel
8
| 8:1
| And it came to pass in the
sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month,
as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me,
that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
|
| 8:2
| Then I beheld, and lo a
likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his
loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as
the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
|
| 8:3
| And he put forth the form of
an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit
lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in
the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate
that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image
of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
|
| 8:4
| And, behold, the glory of the
God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in
the plain.
|
| 8:5
| Then said he unto me, Son of
man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I
lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold
northward at the gate of the altar this image of
jealousy in the entry.
|
| 8:6
| He said furthermore unto me,
Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations
that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far
off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt
see greater abominations.
|
| 8:7
| And he brought me to the door
of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
|
| 8:8
| Then said he unto me, Son of
man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall,
behold a door.
|
| 8:9
| And he said unto me, Go in,
and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
|
| 8:10
| So I went in and saw; and
behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and
all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall
round about.
|
| 8:11
| And there stood before them
seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the
midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man
his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
|
| 8:12
| Then said he unto me, Son of
man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do
in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they
say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
|
| 8:13
| He said also unto me, Turn
thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that
they do.
|
| 8:14
| Then he brought me to the
door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north;
and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
|
| 8:15
| Then said he unto me, Hast
thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou
shalt see greater abominations than these.
|
| 8:16
| And he brought me into
the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of
the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were
about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of
the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they
worshipped the sun toward the east.
|
| 8:17
| Then he said unto me, Hast
thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house
of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit
here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have
returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to
their nose.
|
| 8:18
|
Therefore will I also deal
in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and
though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not
hear them. |
