Hall, called "the secret destiny of America. In his second inaugural address, George W. Bush said of this phrase that when the founders of America placed it on the Great Seal, "They were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled. As I point out in Apollyon Rising , novus ordo seclorum is derived from the prophecies of the Cumaean Sibyl, a prophetess of Apollo Apollo is the Greek version of the Egyptian god Osiris who predicted the return of this deity at a future date, when men would be rejoined by the gods.
President Bush, in his official speech of record, said this scenario is "an ancient hope [plan, scheme] that is meant to be fulfilled " [emphasis added].
What is troubling is that this "god" is specifically identified in the Bible as the spirit that will inhabit the Antichrist. In other words, unknown to most Americans, the Great Seal of their country heralds an ancient prophecy of the coming Man of Sin. In addition to nationally syndicated news and top-ten talk shows, I have been interviewed by United States congressmen, U.
During research for the book which hit 1 the day of its release - thank you , I traveled to Washington DC, where I and one other person met with Masons at the House of the Temple, the headquarters of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite.
These men were very cordial and mostly responsive to our questions, even confirming our understanding of the influence of Freemasonry in American history. Only when I pressed one of them about a ritual called the Raising Ceremony the raising of Osiris from the dead—a. Hiram Abiff , which is conducted in the Temple Room on the third floor of the building, did these Masons become evasive and visibly uncomfortable.
The reason for this is that in addition to the Raising Ceremony being conducted when members reach the 33rd Degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, this strange ceremonial is performed without public knowledge in the Temple Room at the inauguration of every U. Because deep esoteric meaning behind Egyptian and Rosicrucian magic that was incorporated in the rites and rituals of Freemasonry holds that the spirit of Osiris can be raised from the underworld and "installed" for want of a better term in the reigning king or president.
This is why the U. Capitol Dome is laid out so as to face the Obelisk known as the Washington Monument, as well as other puzzling architecture in Government Center. As I explain in Apollyon Rising Unrecognized by the vast majority of peoples around the world is the greatest conspiracy of all time, sitting right out in the open in Washington DC and at the Vatican.
Isis replaced the missing organ with an Obelisk and magically impregnated herself with Horus, the resurrected Osiris. From the published photographs, some of the bones appear to be blackened or charred, as if by fire… It is well documented that Satanists perform ritual killings of both humans and animals alike.
One wonders what type of Bible this is. Like Manly P. Hall had, both Roosevelt and Wallace viewed the all-seeing eye above the unfinished pyramid as pointing to the return or reincarnation of this coming savior, whose arrival would cap the pyramid and launch the New World Order. The all-seeing eye on the Great Seal is fashioned after the Eye of Horus, the offspring of Osiris or Osiris resurrected , as both men surely understood.
She prophesied the return of Apollo, as does the Bible, as the spirit that will inhabit Antichrist. Here she sits in a place of honor alongside the Old Testament prophets inside the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. According to Virgil and the Cumaean Sibyl, whose prophecy formed the novus ordo seclorum of the Great Seal of the United States, the New World Order begins during a time of chaos when the earth and oceans are tottering—a time like today.
This sounds eerily similar to what the Watchers did during the creation of the Nephilim and to what scientists are doing this century through genetic engineering of human-animal chimeras. Statues and reliefs of her adorn thousands of government buildings and courts around the world, especially in Washington, DC, as familiar Lady Justice, blindfolded and holding scales and a sword.
According to key Bible prophecies, the Antichrist will be the progeny or incarnation of the ancient spirit, Apollo. Revelation likewise ties the coming of Antichrist with Apollo, revealing that the Beast shall ascend from the bottomless pit and enter him:. The Beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the Bottomless Pit, and go into perdition [ Apolia , Apollo]: and they that dwell on the Earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the Beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
This supernatural entity was known and feared in ancient times by different names: Apollo, Osiris, and even farther back as Nimrod, whom Masons consider to be the father of their institution.
This is further simulated and symbolized by the three-story design of the Capitol building. Each floor has significant esoteric meaning regarding apotheosis, and the tomb of Washington is empty. The womb of Isis is where they go at death to magically reach apotheosis and transform into gods. It is not occupied by angels, but with devils and pagan deities important to Masonic belief. For high-degree Masons and other illuminati, the symbolism of Washington surrounded by pagan entities and transformed into a heathen god is entirely appropriate.
And cavernous. The ceiling soared an astonishing one hundred feet overhead, supported by monolithic columns of green granite. A tiered gallery of dark Russian walnut seats with hand-tooled pigskin encircled the room. There are eight Ionic columns made of green Windsor granite with solid bronze caps and bases, two on each side of the room. These are made predominantly of walnut but not Russian with brown dyed pigskin and gold inlay. Officers of the Supreme Council sit at these desks when meetings are held.
Members of the organization sit in the long oak benches behind the desks. Fact: True, the front doors do seal from within.
But, the front entrance to the building actually has triple sets of doors. Once inside, there are two additional sets of doors which separate the atrium from the vestibule. Originally, there were leather covered wood doors towards the west or outside, which have now been replaced with glass and bronze doors, sidelights, and a transom.
A double door has been set inside bronze grillwork which serves as the final set of doors. And, yes, the backdoor really does have a keypad security feature with an individual access PIN for each employee. Members do not have an access PIN, only employees. Memorial busts of Pike and Cowles, each on a marble pedestal, were added at that time. Fact: The staircase is one of the most beautiful spots in the building.
The steps are made of white marble and divide into two side runs to reach the landing in front of the Temple Room. Once you get to the Grand Staircase landing, there is a bronze bust of Albert Pike on a pedestal installed in the biennium of Above the bust is the quote, which was carved into a limestone panel and inserted into the wall during the biennium of Its elegant stacks burgeoned with over a quarter of a million volumes, including a rare copy of the Ahiman Rezon, The Secrets of a Prepared Brother.
It is specifically stated in the by-laws of the degree that no mason may be admitted, without being "Christian, pious, discreet and wise". It is therefore quite natural to find a reference to the cross in the ritual.
Further, the division of nature into the animal, mineral, and vegetable worlds derives from Aristotle. The primal and central fires most likely refer to the two different types of fire often encountered in alchemical literature. The two uppermost letters signify that God created those which stand. On the altar of perfumes, we note the me which is given to matter; the two. The tube which is in the furnaces, serves to give the temperature of. The fire will well consume the. Below we see the rod for stirring the fire.
And the two figures surmounted by across, are nothing other than. This part of the explanation of the tracing-board is entirely devoted to alchemical imagery. The two furnaces, described as wet and dry, through which "we must travel" is a direct reference to the alchemical formula of Solve et Coagula dissolve and coagulate , discussed below.
The furnace itself is an important symbol, as it is thought that the metal undergoes its mortification and subsequent purification within a furnace, or athanor as it is usually called. The furnace is furthermore often identified with the fire that causes the mortification of the metal. It is significant that the coal is specified as being of oak trees, as the oak is a name for the philosophical tree.
The philosopher's stone is probably the most well known of all alchemical symbols, and its primary import is the completion or the crowning of the alchemical work. As such, it is considered to possess a number of qualities, such as the ability to transmute metals, cure diseases, prolong life, and to rejuvenate. A further reference to the "royal" nature of the alchemical process is the "most powerful king" that will be born out of the marriage between the "white woman" and the "red servant".
The white woman and the red servant stand for the female and male principles, respectively. The king is another symbol for the philosopher's stone-the goal of the alchemical quest.
Completion of the explanation of the tracing-board is followed by the instruction, which is in the form of a catechism. In eighteenth-century French Masonic rituals, catechisms used to be practiced at the end of the ritual just before closing the lodge , or at the table lodge after the initiation. Be that as it may, the instruction is of utmost importance as it not only touches upon symbols encountered in the ritual, but more importantly also shows exactly the kind of alchemy with which the members of the degree were expected to be familiar.
The catechism begins with the following question:. Hermes was, of course, seen as the mythical founding father of alchemy, and the above question can therefore be interpreted as that the candidate, being an alchemist, is thereby a "child" of Hermes. Did you receive the light?
Verily, Most Wise, the three principles were explained to me. Do you know how to proceed with your labors? Verily, Most Wise, I know how to stir with the rod, to manipulate the. Receiving the light is a recurrent theme in Masonic rituals of initiation, but in this context the light probably refers to the knowledge of the alchemical process, as the answer indicates that the light is connected to the knowledge of the three principles.
The three principles, in their turn, refer to the three alchemical principles sulphur, mercury, and salt. The manipulation of the materials, or metals, is a direct allusion to the practice of alchemy. Furthermore, the sealing of the vapors from escape is a reference to the usage of hermetically sealed vessels in alchemy. What is the significance of the ten knocks you gave on your entry into.
Why do you say that ten is the perfect number? Because ten comprehends all the faith and unity of God by whom all. Furthermore, he who would be quite happy to understand that which is. Pic de Mirandole, the secret of the fifty doors of learning of the great. In Christian and Jewish Kabbalah alike, the number ten is seen as a "perfect number" as it contains God's entire creation in the form of the ten Sephiroth.
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola was the first to seek evidence in the Kabbalah for the "truth" of Christianity, and thus inspired later kabbalists such as Johannes Reuchlin.
Pico included his Kabbalistic arguments for the authenticity of christianity in his Conclusiones , a collection of nine hundred questions and answers. Explain the meaning of your jewel, the colors of the ribbon as well as. The jewel is the representation of mercury, sulphur and salt.
The colors. The cross on the flap of the apron is the Light, the two letters represent. The sun represents gold, the two letters, the meaning already given. Finally the poppy-red color with which the apron is bordered designates. The reference to the three colors black, white and red refers to the three stages in the alchemical process: Nigredo , Albedo , and Rubedo.
According to alchemical theory, there can be no regeneration without corruption, no life without death. This state of dissolution, or mortification, is often symbolized in alchemical imagery with symbols of death and corruption, such as skeletons, skulls, and coffins. In the second or white phase the blackened matter is purified by the mercurial water, the universal agent of transmutation. This is the stage at which the alchemist achieves the white stone and the white elixir which has the power to transmute all imperfect metals to silver".
This stage is often symbolized by things pure, white, or silver, such as the moon, snow, and virgins. Finally, in the third or red stage, the spirit is reunited with the white matter. This union is often described as a "chemical wedding", and upon its completion the desirable Philosophers' Stone is achieved. Images such as red lions, basilisks, red roses, and the sun often symbolize the Rubedo phase of the opus alchymicum. Do you know how to make the universal matter? From what do you produce it?
Eternal and internal fire. The four elements, which are said to be the main principles. Fire, air, water and earth. Heat, drought, cold and moisture, the first two coupled with the latter.
Air has moisture and heat, fire has heat and drought, which are all. As Lyndy Abraham states, the idea of the four elements was derived from Empedocles B. The alchemical process of transmutation, or opus alchymicum , is based on the fundamental theory that all material objects and matter consist of various proportions of the four elements and that these proportions can be manipulated.
However, in order to cause this manipulation, it is first necessary to "kill" the Nigredo phase the original form of the matter one wishes to transmute. The answer to the question of what the qualities of the four elements are, displays further familiarity with basic concepts of alchemy: there are four qualities connected to the elements -hot, dry, cold, and moist.
What does the mxture [sic] of the four elements and their four qualities. The three main principles. What names are given them? Mercury, sulphur and salt. What do you mean by mercury, sulphur and salt? The philosophical, and not the commonly known, mercury, sulphur. What is the philosophical mercury? It is a liquid and spirit which dissolves and refines the sun. What is philosophical sulphur? It is fire and a spirit which destroys and colors that fire.
What is philosophical salt? It is a mineral and a substance which congeals and fixes, and accom-. The three main principles of metals mentioned above were first proposed by Paracelsus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, Paracelsus' theory of the tria prima , or the first three principles, differs from earlier medieval alchemy in which the metals were considered to derive from two principles, namely sulphur and mercury. These two principles were connected to the well-known alchemical formula of Solve et Coagula dissolve and coagulate.
This formula, known already by the Greek alchemists, illustrates the fundamental practice of alchemy; that is, the converting of a solid body into a fluid substance solve , and the opposite process of turning a fluid into a dry solid body coagula. The process was to be repeated time and again, and each time the matter to be transmuted was considered to become purer. Mercury was connected to the solve aspect of the formula and was thus attributed to the power of dissolving fixed matter; while sulphur was considered to possess the power of fixing and coagulating the volatile substance, and thus to be connected to the second, or coagula, part of the formula.
Furthermore, the mercury often encompassed the two elements of water and earth, while sulphur encompassed air and water. How are these obtained from three principles? The four elements redoubled, as Hermes said, or the great elements,.
The former two act like volatiles, the one being like water and the other. The remaining two substances however being. The salt defies the heat of fire. Because each element has two qualities the great or redoubled elements,. Mercury has more water than is usually attributed to it;. Earth is at last found pure and clean at the center of all the elementary.
