Freemasonry is a movement which has its origins in various secret societies of the middle ages, although it was really in the 18th century that it took on much of its present form. Freemasonry draws on all kinds of pagan religious ideas and involves honoring false deities from the Babylonian, Egyptian, and Greek pantheons. Freemasons today wield much power and influence in world affairs. The extent of this power is difficult to know from the outside. However, it is fairly certain that many of the western world's top politicians, businessmen, judiciary, clergymen (!) and media people are members of this secretive group.
Although some freemasons deny it, freemasonry is a religion. New members may be told that it is perfectly compatible with any religion a man may choose to follow, but it becomes clear as one progresses through the various levels of freemasonry that it really is another religion. Freemasonry borrows its many of its religious concepts from ancient Babylonian religious systems, as well as from Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism. No one except the Freemasons themselves are supposed to know what actually happens in the rites of the lodge, but most of this information has already been published by people who left the movement, even some from the highest levels (31st, 32nd and 33rd degree freemasons). A lot can also be known about freemasonry by studying their own publications.
Why Do Men become Freemasons?
Many men become freemasons because they are invited to do so by colleagues who are usually further up the social scale than they are themselves. Men are led to understand that by joining the lodge they will enjoy many benefits and opportunities in society which they would not otherwise enjoy. Freemasons will almost always favor each other above someone else who is not a member of the lodge. Business opportunities, special favors, invitations to positions of influence are some of the benefits enjoyed by many devoted members of the lodge.
The Deliberate Practice of Deception
Most freemasons go no further than the Master Mason level (3rd level). However, those that press on to study for the rituals of the higher levels of the York or Scottish rites soon learn that there are mysteries which those at the lower levels are not permitted to know. In fact, they find out that those at lower levels are deliberately misled concerning the doctrine and practices of freemasonry. Those who have earned the right to know can be proud of their superiority over the rest of the ignorant masses. There is the constant lure of increased esoteric knowledge, power and influence for those who "climb the mountain" of masonic advancement. Of course this appeals to human nature. There is a strong desire in natural men for power, control, influence, recognition and secret knowledge. Freemasonry promises this to its loyal devotees. However, when we realises that deliberate deception is being practiced, we should smell a rat.
Is Freemasonry compatible with Christianity?
Many Anglican clergymen are and have been freemasons. Clergymen from other denominations are also involved. New initiates are told that Freemasonry is basically a moral movement for the betterment of humanity in which people of all religions can participate. However, it is not possible to follow the Bible and accept masonic doctrines and practices at the same time. In one of their rituals, masons kiss the Bible goodbye. The ways of Jesus Christ who taught openly and without deception are incompatible with the ways of freemasonry.
Who is the God of Freemasonry?
Lower level masons are told that masons must believe in a deity known
as The Great Architect of the Universe. However, when they get to one of
the mid range levels (about level 8 I believe) they are then told that
the deity of freemasonry is in fact called 'Jahbulon', This name is a syncretic
mixture of the Hebrew name for God, Yahweh, the Babylonian god 'Bel' ('Baal?')
and the Egyptian god 'On'. The Old Testament speaks out strongly against
these pagan deities (Isaiah 46 for example). The people of Israel were
not even supposed to take the names of these gods upon their lips! How
can this 'Jahbulon' be one and the same as the God of the Bible? Christianity
declares Jesus Christ to be God in human f

My grandfather was a Grand master
I need prayer - I did the renouncing free masonry last night. My grandfather who is passed away now was a Grand High master of all things and both my mother and myself suffer from asthma and a variety of other allergies/stomach disorders described as a result of the curse of freemasonry.
What tops it all is that my dad was involved in heavy occult and weegie bords and treasures all of my grandfathers grand master stuff (my fathers side stuff was sorted out at my time of salvation as it was addressed and they were broken at the time of salvation)
I used to clean a masonic lodge (before i was saved though) I had to hoover the temple and was one of the only poeple allowed in!
The lord has prepared me in advance for this and i new something was coming as over the last few years/months has given me words about healing and even the Boaz name and my wife has been having visions of a cord around my neck when she has been at church also she was getting visions of the compass all of which we have only just found out about from the article about unmasking freemasonry on this website.
I have found from this information that all of these things which i suffer from come from and understand that they originate from the Curse of Freemasonry:
i suffer from: and so does my mother (her father was the grand master)
Fear of choking/being sick
Fear of loud noises
Asthma
have numerous stomach disorders and voice related tightenings
I just wanted to post this to urge other christians who dont believe its possible to be tampered with by evil spirits. Even though the Holy spirit has sealed us - we still dwell in our earthly bodies here on earth and there is still doors that can be opened. Dont ignore how important you are in the spiritual struggle that is happening. you will be prime target at some point and need to understand that we all have specific weaknesses that are used as levarage. If you can understand the leverage then you can ask Jesus to SPECIFICALLY heal you. IT needs to be highlighted and brought into the light in order to be healed.
Just briefly:
I am a spirit filled christian I talk in Tongues alot every day when i pray and am grounded in Christ and in his abounding grace. When i received the Holy spirit after I accepted Christ into my life (actually after i trusted in christ to take away my sins instead of trying to earn my way to god with good works!) I was baptised in a local river with an amazing grace filled fellowship (which i am truly thankful for as christ knows). I read the bible from a very early age but never understood that it is the person of Jesus christ that is salvation rather than good works etc so I fell away and became bitter.
When I originally came to christ I hated all the talk about being accepted as righteous because in my mind all the things i had done were off my own back and i wouldnt accept praise from god unless i felt like i had earned it. boy did that change!
My brother in christ that came into my life overcame my pride and i fell at christs knees and accepted his gift.
I know now that it was the same spirits from the freemasonry curse that were involved in blinding and muting me because when i originally came to christ my mouth was trying to talk in tongues but nothing came out and also I had the classic Freemasonry Lie about providing your good works as the atonement. One evening my brother in christ prayed for satan to release my tongue and actually touched my throat and the next morning I talked in tongues - and i mean for a long time for the whole day. I still do every day when I pray though maybe not 24hrs.
The reason I write this is because my brother in christ had no knowledge of this free masonry but he was alerted (this is about 5 years ago) to a problem around my throat area (the tow rope described in the witchraft of free masonry).
I sincerely write to those others who have any history of Freemasonry to ask it out in Jesus Name to be thrown out - go through the specific list and renounce 1 by 1 the curses placed upon your generation by your ancestor. Make sure another christian is there because it is full on and you wont enjoy reading some of the curses out as you renounce them.
Cut it off as Jesus will act when you ask him. God will cut the noose around your neck and take the blindfold off.
God wants to provide for you. He is not the oppressor and wont clothe you with instruments of pain but wants to clothe you and comfort you with clothes of righteousness and peace.
Jesus Lord. The Bright Morning Star. Thankyou for who you are. Release those others from the fowlers snare. Unloose the chords of bondage and bless those who come to you with these fowl forces of evil that are organised in Freemasonry and rebuke the evil spirits that seek to burden your poeple.
I pray that you throw your line out and bring other poeple caught in the snare of freemasonry. Draw them out as if they were being drawn out of the very pit.
Amen
My Grandfather was a Grand Master
I am very interested in this article. My Grandfather on my mother's side was also a Mason. I don't know how high he went though. I just know that at one point he said that he had gone high enough. My mother's half-brother was a 33rd degree. Then he became a Shriner. I don't know if that would affect me though. I often wondered whether there was a curse of Freemasonry and I think that there is. I need prayer too. My life has been pretty messy. I am bipolar. I don't know where that came from. I think it's in the family on my father's side. My mother thinks she is psychic though. I've been messed up with evil following me my whole life. The Left-Hand Path has attacked me on more than one occasion. It was almost as if they were seeking me out-this witchcraft. I dabbled in the occult a little earlier in my life but renounced it. I guess like many teenagers do. I don't know. How much of this came from my grandfather's involvement in Freemasonry? It's really hard to tell, because I have had problems mentally as well, am divorced once and remarried to a Jewish man who wants nothing to do with my faith. I have two boys with him. One is very disrespectful, but not totally unmanageable. He seems to be receptive to the Christian faith. The other boy as well. They need prayer, too. I know the Bible says that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generations. Thank you for your prayer. I will pray for you too.
Freemasonry.
Freemasonry is the continuation of the mystery religions.
This fact is confessed by Gen Albert Pike in his book “Morals and Dogma.”
Pike remains one of the most famous freemasons in history.
This means that freemasons are involved in the same idolatry as Israel were, when God handed them over to their enemies as punishment for their sin.
The captivity that the people of Israel faced is a pre-curser to the spiritual bondage that we face now as the penalty for idolatry and sadly, erroneous teachings have left many Christians unequipped and unable to find a way out of such bondage.
The only escape from such captivity is that we are willing to sign the death certificate to our sinful nature!
Only through wilfully taking up our cross daily and following Jesus, can we live and walk in Gods power. There is no quick fix.
Where there is the curse of sin in a family line, let it be nailed to the cross of Jesus.
Only 100% submission to God can accomplish the work of the cross.
One of the main weapons of the enemy is to strip Christians of the knowledge of the power and victory that is ours through Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Specific repentance may be needed to unlock areas of our lives to which Satan holds dominion. Pray that the Holy Spirit will show you those areas, renounce any involvement in whatever sinful practices you have been involved in.
The Blood of Jesus has cancelled out our debt. Hallelujah.
God bless,
Pete
I've recently found out my
I've recently found out my grandfater was involved in Freemasonry, however not "too involved", if that makes any difference. I ask the same questions as the anonymous poster on 2 March 2008. If anybody could provide me with answers to the questions Anonymous raised (as copied below) I would appreciate it.
Does God not wash us whiter than snow? Is His love and foregivenes not enough. Will His blessings until the 1000's generation not be stronger than the curse till the 3rd or the 4th? Does this mean that I will have to find out every sin ever committed in my family, How many generations????
Thank you.
Freemasons?
My friend became a free mason a wile ago we both work for the same company, be fore he became a memmber of this cult, he was doing terrible in business. when he became a member he was blowing every one out of the water with his sales. I feel that He has taken up aligiance with this cult and that is the out come of his success. What can I do for my friend to see the truth that Jesus is the only way? thanks Michael!
Your co-worker in freemasonry
It is true that the devil can give riches to those who follow his ways. It is also true that he will work to prevent riches getting into the hands of godly people who will use it for evangelism.
The only way to overcome Satan's power on earth is to PRAY MUCH, fasting also at times, and focus on Jesus and do what God says. It is not an easy path.
You could try reasoning with your friend but if he loves the world more than Truth it will not work easily. So pray and seek opportunities to talk with him about eternal things.
Lucifer was an angel in
Lucifer was an angel in Heaven of course we know that. In Heaven he was the angel of music and when him and the other angels would do music beautiful colors would surround Lucifer and illuminate the surroundings. Some other angels were astounded by his beauty and chose to follow him, This gave Lucifer a big head thinking that he can be GOD and tried to take over. The devil, lucifer, satan whatever his name is (as if it matters) is of evil and our job is to worship GOD not and spread the truth around. What you should be focused on besides satans tru name is The second coming of CHRIST and getting your soul ready and spread as much of the Gospel as you can. GOD BLESS
Blame game
My sister seems to now, after recently coming to Christ, blame the fact that my father was involved with freemasonry, nearly 35years ago, for absolutely everything that has ever gone wrong in her life and also in my family and that of my brother's life. Does God not wash us whiter than snow? Is His love and foregivenes not enough. Will His blessings until the 1000's generation not be stronger than the curse till the 3rd or the 4th? Does this mean that I will have to find out every sin ever committed in my family, How many generations???? She does not even speak with him and denies him any contact with her children, how will this get him saved? I really need payer in this.

It ismy belief and understanding of the word of GOD that once you accept the Lord in your heart than that is a new beginning. You will need to repent of course because all man sin, also being save does not mean that your life will be easier..The devil wants you back so he taunts and nags at you trying to pull you back. He knows he has lost another soul to the creator and satan does not like that. That is why Christians are persecuted so much. You will go through trials and tribulations in life and you need Faith to guide you, Jesus went through alot worse that you could ever imagine. Also if you read the book of JOB you will find out how he went through trial after trial after trial...This is life, there will be suffering..Also GOD says to forgive. I know that is hard (Trust me it is hard) But if JESUS can forgive us for what we did to him and it was our sin that is why he died to save us. If he can forgive us that we can forgive anybody. He bore the weight of the world on his shoulder, we should be able to carry a few burdens..GOD BLESS YOU. If you disagree or have any questions you can email me at Caddy12_99_99@yahoo.com anytime. Thank You Johnny Crawford
How can I help?
I happen to love very much (as a christian) my boss. He is a great man, but I've recently find out that he is a mason. I am a born again christian, and I know what freemasonry is. How can I help him? I can't talk to him about this, he would never listen to me. I have no idea what grade he has. What can I do? Just the idea of him and his lovely wife going to hell hurts me...like hell.
If nothing works, try tears.
If you can weep for this man, God may break the stronghold over his life. Sometimes God will put tears in your life almost supernaturally for others, when you pray.
Curses
I have noticed that in the Old testament they did just this-they would say things like-'May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I do not accomplish this.' So it used to be OK to do this sort of thing but in the New Testament Jesus says that now if you do this it is from the evil one. This may explain why these curses are wrong.
I also find it so disturbing to find so much great christian stuff associated with freemasonry. It is a misuse of His name.
Christian stuff
What do you mean by great christian stuff associated with freemasonry? Can you give an example of this?
Well, its just that whenever
Well, its just that whenever I do a search for the ark of the covenant I often find that a lot of masonic sites have info about it. They do love things about solomons temple and a lot of their passwords are biblical names. They talk about Jesus a lot in some orders. I just dont like seeing stuff about God that is misused. Its the same with mormonism, I just dont like seeing Jesus portrayed in a false way like that.
responce to the misinformed
Is there any difference between Lucifer and Satan? Westerners generally would say they are one and the same. Especially those in fundamentalist Christian circles consider Lucifer an archangel who fell from grace and was thrown out of heaven because of "sinful pride." His "sin" was thinking he was equal to God and rebelling against Him. This rebellious angel is known as Satan, Lucifer, or the Devil, who tempts us to do evil. Supposedly, one of the most evil things Lucifer tempts us to do is to think that we are God. So those who believe in the essential divinity of all life are often accused of committing Satan's sin, and of being under the influence of Lucifer. Where do these ideas about Satan and Lucifer come from? Is there a biblical basis for them?
Lucifer means lightbringer, from the Latin lux "light" and ferre "to bear or bring." The word Lucifer is found in only one place in the Bible -- Isaiah 14:12 -- but only in the King James and related versions: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! . . ." The New Revised Standard Version translates the same passage as "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, Son of Dawn!" In other translations we find: "O shining star of the dawn!" (Moffatt) or "O morning-star, son of the dawn!" (Hebrew Bible). The King James Version is based on the Vulgate, the Latin translation of Jerome. Jerome translated the Hebrew helel (bright or brilliant one) as "lucifer," which was a reasonable Latin equivalent. And yet it is this lucifer, the bright one or lightbearer, that came to be understood by so many as the name for Satan, Lord of Darkness.
