MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for listing to the Narrow Way Christian Ministry's online church service, today's sermon is a part of the Exposing Satan series and is titled: Mystery Babylon The Great. The purpose of this sermon is to explain Mystery Babylon The Great, and detail the history and doctrine of this religious system described in Bible prophecy. This sermon will use the Bible to explain Mystery Babylon The Great, and expose its centuries old networks of cults and secret societies.
I would like to begin today's sermon by reading a scripture from the book of (Daniel 2:19-22) Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
THE DRUNKEN WHORE
(Revelation 17:4-6) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Although the Bible uses symbols and parables to describe certain places and events, the interpretations are clearly explained, there is no hidden knowledge or esoteric meaning known only to the initiated, or secret knowledge kept from the profane. There are no secret passwords, secret handshakes, or secret names of God in the Bible, there are no secrets at all. Jesus simply instructed those seeking the truth to ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Jesus said For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. With this in mind, I remind the listener that there is no Mystery regarding the Women which is arrayed in purple and scarlet, in fact the interpretation is given clearly in the book of (Revelation 17:18) And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
But what is the great city the Bible describes as bring drunken with the blood of the saints, and as reigning over the kings of the earth? Jesus Christ reveals the answer to this question in the book of (Matthew 23:34-39) Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Jesus explained that the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth is the city of Jerusalem, as He attributed all the righteous blood shed on the earth to this city, and to its people. But who are these people, and what is Mystery Babylon?
WHAT IS MYSTERY BABYLON?
Mystery Babylon is a cult made up of a network of ancient secret societies, which practice and propagate the Mystery Religion of Babylon. Although the adepts claim that their religion traces back to an advanced civilization which occupied the lost city of Atlantis, the cult of Mystery Babylon can be traced back to the post flood civilization of babel, and to the worship of king Nimrod, and his wife Semiramis. The Bible tells us that king Nimrod taught rebellion against God, and united the world against Him through building of Tower of Babel. It is believed that king Nimrod and queen Semiramis taught the masses witchcraft, and the secrets of astrology. After Nimrod's death, worship and veneration was paid to Semiramis as the Queen of Heaven, and to Nimrod's infant son Tammuz. This Mystery Religion and its secret knowledge of witchcraft and astrology was passed down to the ancient Egyptians, and would later become the Egyptian Mystery School. The priesthood of ancient Egypt kept the secrets of Mystery Babylon, and controlled the masses through symbolism, alchemy and ritual initiations. The cult of Mystery Babylon is mentioned many times in the Bible, one example is found in the book of (Exodus 7:11) Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
The Mystery Religion was also practiced by many of the Hebrew people whom the Lord freed from Egypt, and it was these transgressors that brought its practice to the promised land of Israel, the Mystery Religion was also practiced by king Solomon after he turned away from the LORD. The Mystery Religion was the religious system practiced by the unbelieving ancients of the house of Israel, and the Hebrew practice of the Mystery Religion is well documented in the Old Testament. A good example is found in the book of (Jeremiah 7:18) The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
The cult of Mystery Babylon, and the practice of its sorcery is vividly documented in the book of (Ezekiel 8:11-17) 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. 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. He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 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. 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. 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. 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.
MYSTERY BABYLON IN ISRAEL
The practices described in (Ezekiel 8:11-17) caused God to send the Babylonian empire to the land of Judah, and to take the Jews captive to Babylon as slaves for seventy years. The Mystery Religion was also practiced in Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon, and the Babylonian priesthood was the continuation of the Egyptian Mystery School. The priesthood of Mystery Babylon is also vividly described in the book of (Daniel 2:2) Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams... After the seventy year Babylonian captivity, the Hebrew people once again brought the practice of the Mystery Schools back to Jerusalem, and set up the priesthood of Mystery Babylon under the order of Solomon's temple. Although some of the secrets of Mystery Babylon were known in the empires of Persia, Greece and Rome, its true priesthood was established in Jerusalem. The Scribes and Pharisees that are described in the New Testament were the priesthood of Mystery Babylon, and the temple of Jerusalem is the headquarters of this cult.
SECRETS UNDER THE TEMPLE
(Matthew 24:1-2) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
The secrets of witchcraft, alchemy and astrology were kept hidden by the Scribes and Pharisees in Jerusalem, this cult secretly practiced the Mystery Religion underneath the temple, and in the groves and high places of Israel. These secrets were uncovered by the Romans after the first Jewish Roman war, which culminated in the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. After the Roman military victory, Roman soldiers discovered caves and hidden chambers underneath the temple complex, and in these chambers they found the dark secrets of Jewish mysticism, and the occult worship of Mystery Babylon . Roman occult societies were formed to keep the secrets that were discovered underneath the temple of Jerusalem, and to carry out the goals of Mystery Babylon . One of these secret societies was The Order of the Knights Templar, a secret society that occupied the Temple Mount of Jerusalem during the first Roman Crusades (1095-1102). The Knights Templar were born out of a larger secret society known as The Order of Our Lady of the Mountain of Zion, also known as the Priory of Zion. The Knights Templar originally consisted of nine men who claimed they were in Jerusalem to keep the highways safe for Catholic pilgrims, but no new members were initiated until nine years after they were established. A cloak of secrecy was kept over their activity, but in 1128 The Knights Templar were recognized as an official religious military order, making them autonomous, and answerable only to the Pope.
From strong holds outside of Jerusalem The Knights Templar strengthened their grip on the holy land, and in the two decades that followed, the younger sons of noblemen flocked to enroll in their ranks. For a century, the power and influence of the Knights Templar grew and they even maintained diplomatic links with the Muslim world, who they so often opposed on the field of battle. In the early years of the Knights Templar, they establish markets in Jerusalem, and took commission from which they financed their occult operations. With their networks of castles spread throughout Europe and the near East, the Templars were able to organize the safe transfer of money for merchant traders, and the modern banking empire of today stems directly from this system.
At the beginning of the fourteenth century the Knights Templar were well established in France, and controlled many castles in the kingdom of king Phillip Labelle. King Phillip Labelle had no control over the Knights Templar, and he owed them money, Pope Clement V conspired with King Phillip Labelle to destroy the Knights Templar, and to have its members arrested. At dawn on Friday the thirteenth of October 1307, many Templars throughout France were arrested and put to the torture, strange confession and allegations began to be made, many involving the satanic worship of a devil called baphomet. The Knights of the Temple confessed to holding secret ceremonies where they blasphemed Jesus Christ, trampled upon a crucifix, and prostrated themselves before idols and a severed head that spoke to them. The Templars were also accused of committing sodomy, and teaching women how to abort their babies. Their punishment was brutal and without mercy, every member arrested was imprisoned, and some were burned alive. In 1312 a papal bull was issued dissolving the Order of Knights Templar, and although many were killed and imprisoned, a small group escaped to continue the satanic cult of Mystery Babylon, and the Order Of Our Lady of The Mountain of Zion. The Order of Our Lady of The Mountain of Zion was dedicated to preserving the Merovingian bloodline, which this cult believed to hold a magical and divine quality. According to the cult of Mystery Babylon, the Merovingian family are said to be the descendants of king Solomon, and to possessed the Holy blood that was possessed by Jesus Christ. According to legend, all members of this black nobility could be identified by a distinctive birthmark which was a rose red cross.
THE ORDER OF THE ROSY CROSS
The Order of Rosicruci otherwise known as the Order of the Rosy Cross, was formed in 1403 by the Order of our Lady of the Mountain of Zion. The Rosicrucian Order was created to carry on the religious system of Mystery Babylon, and to install the Antichrist black nobility to the throne of Jerusalem. The Rosicrucian order is an occult brotherhood which possesses the esoteric wisdom of the ancient Mystery Religion of Egypt. Members of this cult are initiated into these Mysteries through an Initiation of 3 degrees, and 6 scenes, also known as the royal purple degree or ancient mysteries of Osiris. The Order of the Rosy Cross is the continuation of the cult of Mystery Babylon, it has kept the secrets of the magicians of Egypt, and the doctrines of the Scribes and Pharisees. Members of this ancient order included prominent men like Martin Luther, sir Francis Bacon, and the infamous satanist John Dee who was also a member of the Order of the Rosy Cross. However The philosophies of the Rosicruci were not satanic in nature, but were in fact Kabbahlastic, and Luciferian in their true form. The occult practices and Luciferian philosophy of the Rosicrucian Order spawned the modern day Illuminati in 1776, and formed the basis for what is today known as the religion of Freemasonry. Scottish Rite Freemasonry is the preservation of the Mystery Religion of Egypt, and of the cult of Mystery Babylon,. This allegation is confirmed by revered masonic authority Albert Pike on page 624 of his book,Morals and Dogma, where he states "Masonry is identical to the ancient mysteries."
THE RELIGION OF FREEMASONRY
The religion of Masonry is not sectarian. It admits men of every creed... It is not Christianity. Its religion is that general one of nature and primitive revelation, handed down to us from some ancient and patriarchal priesthood Albert Mackey - Encyclopedia of Freemasonry - Page 619.
The ranks of Freemasonry is full of deceived men who are completely ignorant of the true doctrines and goals of the cult of Freemasonry. They are just cogs in a giant machine, and compartmentalized for the sake of the order. 33rd Degree Freemason George steinmetz wrote in his book Freemasonry - Its Hidden Meaning "The average Mason is lamentably ignorant of the real meaning of masonic symbology, and knows as little of its esoteric teaching."
Other Masonic authorities agree with this statement, including Freemason Reverend William H. Russell, who said in his book Masonic Facts For Masons "Nearly every Mason thinks he knows all about Masonry...As a matter of fact, however he does not."
Most Freemason are unaware of the true nature of their Religion, and the satanic cult they have joined, most have been deceived by their superiors, who consider them to be as ignorant and profane as those outside the lodge. But with each degree and its study the Mason advances, first towards initiation, and later to complete demonic possession. It is not until the Masonic candidate reaches the Knight Kodesh 30th Degree that he is told the true nature of Freemasonry, and becomes aware of its kabbahlistic practices. revered 33 degree Freemason Albert Pike wrote in his book Morals and Dogma "The old primitive faith that is the Freemasonry religion is derived from the ancient pure Kabbalah."
However the Mason is kept ignorant of this fact, and is led blindly about by his "brothers" chasing secret passwords, and secret names of God. First he is told that God's name is simply the Great Architect, later the candidate is told that God's name Jahbulon, next he is told that he is his own god, and told to view himself as Osiris the sun god of Egypt. By this time the aspiring Mason has taken so many secret oaths, and partaken in so many blasphemous rituals, that now is he ready to receive the true light of Freemasonry, and be initiated into the Mystery Religion of Lucifer.
THE MYSTERY RELIGION OF LUCIFER
Masonry around whose alters the Christian, the Moslem, the Brahmin, the followers of Confucius and zoroaster, can assemble as bretheren and unite in prayer to the one god who is above all Baalim... Albert Pike - Morals and Dogma - Page 226.
Satan is the god of Freemasonry, and Lucifer worship is the lost key of Freemasonry! Both Albert Pike and Manly P Hall confirm this in their authoritative masonic writings, for example Albert Pike writes in his book Morals and Dogma "Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darknesss! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls ? Doubt it not!"
Manly P Hall writes in his book The Lost Keys of Freemasonry "When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy.
Yes Lucifer is the god of freemasonry! He is not despised and warned against in the Craft, but rather he is worshiped and revered as the light of the world. The next sections of this sermon will explain the Luciferian Mystery religion, and the doctrines of Mystery Babylon the Great.
THE LUCIFERIAN DOCTRINE
The Luciferian doctrine is one of evolution, reincarnation, eugenics, human sacrifice, sex magic, blasphemy and perversion of the Holy Bible, it is the doctrine of Freemasonry, and that of the New Age. I will now detail the Luciferian doctrine so you can better understand the cult of Mystery Babylon, and uncover its sinister religious agenda. The doctrine of Mystery Babylon states that at the dawn of time in the Saturn period, the universe was in darkness and in the first stage of its evolution. Heat which is the first manifestation of fire was said to be the only element that existed, and present humanity was then mineral like, the lowest kingdom of evolving life. It is taught that during the Saturn period a higher evolved man existed, which was in unity with itself. According to the cult Lucifer (known as the father) is the highest initiate of the Saturn period, and is represented by a six pointed star, and the element of fire. It is said that the unity that prevailed in the Saturn period, continued in the sun period where a new element evolved, and air began to mix with fire. It is taught that the highly evolved man of the Saturn period has now evolved into the glory of arch angels, with some more advanced than others.
The son (Horus) is said to be the highest initiate of the sun period, and said to be one with the father (Lucifer) as fire is one with the flame that it manifests. According to the cult of Mystery Babylon our present humanity had only evolved to a plant like state, and remained this way through the sun period. In the moon period the element of water allegedly came into existence, which supposedly began the battle of the elements. Water and fire came into contact, creating a never ending battle between the elements of water and fire. It is taught that Jehovah also known as the Holy Spirit, is the highest initiate of the moon period. Jehovah is represented by the cross, and the element of water. The Battle of fire and water represents a continual battle between Lucifer and Jehovah, and the sons of Lucifer and Jehovah. According to the cult of Mystery Babylon the cosmos thus became a battle ground of evolving spirits, and the battle between the spirits of water and fire.
THE BATTLE OF FIRE AND WATER
The Mystery Religion teaches that the Lucifer spirits of fire are actively seeking to evolve and enlarge their consciousness, while the water spirits of Jehovah are actively seeking to quenched the spirits of fire. The arch angels were said to be human during the moon period, of which its highest initiate is said to have been the Holy Spirit Jehovah. It is taught that during the moon period some of the arch angels loved water, and others the fire, and that it was the purpose of Jehovah to create forms in order to imprison the spirits, and to quench the spirits of fire. It is taught that for this reason He issued the creative decree and the prototypes of fish, birds and primate man was formed. It is alleged that life on earth was created by Jehovah's angels, and that Jehovah wanted to make everything that lived and moved subservient to His will. The cult claims that because of this Lucifer and a minority of the angels rebelled, and rejected the authority of Jehovah.
ANGELS AND DEMONS
It is taught that in the earth period the angels under Jehovah were set to work with the inhabitence of all planets with moons, while the angels of Lucifer had their abode on Mars. The angel Gabriel is said to be representative on earth of the Lunar hierarchy presided over by Jehovah, the angel Samiel is said to be the ambassador of the angels of Lucifer. Gabriel and the Lunar hierarchy are said to be the givers of life on earth, and Samiel and the hosts of Mars are said to be the angels of death. The cult believes that Christianity is an activity of the hierarchy of water, which they say attempts to quench the spirits seeking Lucifer, and to orchestrate complete faith and submission to Jehovah. The cult believes that Man's earliest parents were double sexed, both male and female, it teaches that Jehovah took away one of man's creative poles, and forbade him to use the creative force. The cult teaches that Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat from the tree of knowledge, but eve seduced by the serpent did eat, and encouraged the man to do the same. The cult of Mystery Babylon believes the tree of knowledge is a symbolic expression of the reproductive act, and that the serpent had sex with Eve. Allegedly Eve then instructed Adam, and as a consequence of the unauthorized use of the creative force, man was removed from being a spiritual being, and imprison in our current bodies of skin. Mystery Babylon teaches that because of man's expulsion from the spiritual garden, a feud originated between the spirits fire and the spirits of water, the cult believes that Jehovah and the Lunar hierarchy refuse to let man evolve and become gods, while Lucifer and the host of Mars are seeking to help man become gods, and free them from the control of a cruel and vindictive Jehovah. The Mystery religion was given to man by the solar hierarchy (the Lucifer spirits), in an attempt to free the imprisoned spirits of Jehovah. Mystery Babylon believes that a spiritual evolution must take place in order to free man from his body of death, and that Jehovah and the spirits of water must be destroyed.
THE SONS OF CAIN
The doctrine of Mystery Babylon has points of variance from, as well as agreement with the Bible story, the religion of Freemasonry believes that Jehovah created Eve, and that the Lucifer spirit Samiel united with her in the creative act. The cult believes that Samiel was ousted by Jehovah and forced to leave Eve before the birth of her son Cain, making him the son of a widow. After this Jehovah created Adam to be the husband of Eve, and from their union Abel was born. It is said that from the beginning of time there has only been two types of people born, the sons of Seth who trust in Jehovah for everything, and the sons of Cain who are said to partake in a semi divine nature, as they possess the martial energy of Lucifer in their blood. The sons of Cain reject faith in Jehovah, rely on their own works, and prove all things through human reason. It is said that the sons of Cain have forgotten the garden of God which they were expelled from by Jehovah, who the son's of Cain are in constant rebellion against, and wander as prodigal sons in the darkness of the material world. The cult believes that Jehovah keeps man is oblivious of its high and noble estate until they find the door of temple and ask to receive the light. Only then as Freemasons (sons of the light) can man be instructed in the arts of temple building, and learn the Craft of Freemasonry.
YE SHALL BE AS GODS
Once initiated into Mystery Babylon the Masonic convert is then given the word, this opens him up to the inner worlds where he learns to travel in foreign parts of the invisible worlds, there he takes soul flights into heavenly regions and qualifies for higher degrees of initiation. These degrees of initiation are said to take place under the direct instruction of Lucifer, who they call the grand architect of the universe. It is believed that through these hidden initiations the Freemason can himself become god, this is the temperament of the Widow's sons inherited from their "divine" progenitor Samiel, who is said to have begotten to their ancestor Cain. The cult of Mystery Babylon teaches its initiates that Cain was a son of the fire, (A Freemason) governed by divine ambition, and because of this, he worked and tilled the soil, making two blades of grass where only one was.
The cult of Mystery Babylon teaches that Abel the human offspring of Adam and Eve was a creature of Jehovah, content to tend to the flocks of God, and accept a lively hood without work or labour. The Masonic religion paints Abel's faith as docile obedience to Jehovah, who they claim was jealous of His prerogative as the creator, they claim that it was because of this that God accepted the offering of Abel, and scorned Cain for presenting his own works. Cain therefore slew Abel, in an attempt to exterminate those who hold faith in Jehovah. However according to Mystery Babylon he was unsuccessful, for Adam knew Eve, and Seth was born. It is believed that Seth had the same characteristics as Abel, and transmitted them to his descendants who trust in the Lord for everything, and live by Faith not by works.
BUILDING THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON
What could wicked men and devils invent craftier or better suited to deceive the simple, than this very scheme of the Ancient Scottish Rite - Occult Theocracy: Lady Queensborough, page 359
The 33rd degree of the Luciferian initiation contains a disgusting perversion of the story of king Solomon, and the building of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. The Masonic legend states that king Solomon inherited the spiritual gifts of the sons of Seth and was an agent of Jehovah, who only communicated with his high pri
