MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT

CATHOLIC OR JEWISH?

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. Revelation 17:4-5

INTRODUCTION
As a rule, theories of a Jewish conspiracy for world domination condemn all Jews as
megalomaniac conspirators and the enemies of mankind. However, any treatment of a Jewish
conspiracy must take into account the ancient schism that divided the nation of Israel in Biblical
times. This division was precipitated by the apostasy of King Solomon, whose idolatry was
afterward carried on by the northern tribes. This ancient schism has profoundly affected the
subsequent history of the Jews and is the dynamic of the alleged Jewish conspiracy of the
present day.
Following the death of King Solomon, the tribes of Israel separated into two independent
kingdoms. The ten northern tribes formed the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern tribes
of Judah and Benjamin were thereafter called the kingdom of Judah. The schism between Judah
and Israel, from which the Israelites never recovered, is recorded in 1 Kings. The Daily Bible
Study gives a brief overview:
One of the most misunderstood subjects of Bible study involves the total political division of
Israel and Judah that occurred at the time of King Rehoboam. Before then, all twelve tribes of
Israelites were a united kingdom through the reigns of David and Solomon, but after Solomons
death they split into two completely separate and independent kingdoms - the southern kingdom
of Judah, consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, with part of Levi since the Levites
were distributed among the other tribes (1 Kings 12:23) with their capital at Jerusalem, and the
northern kingdom of Israel, consisting of the other ten tribes (Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali,
Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim and Manasseh (Joseph was divided into Ephraim and
Manasseh), with part of Levi since the Levites were distributed among the other tribes), with
their capital up in Samaria.
Israel and Judah were never united again... Surprisingly, they even fought wars against each
other from time to time... A very important fact that many do not realize is that Judah, that is, the

Jewish people of today, are only one of the tribes of Israel - while all Jews are Israelites, not all
Israelites are Jews.
Because of their forsaking of Him, God permitted the two kingdoms to be destroyed. First,
the northern kingdom of Israel was gradually conquered by the Assyrians, and by 721 B.C.
they had practically all been taken into exile to Assyria (2 Kings 17:1-23). The vast majority of
them never returned, and have become known as the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.
Then, about 135 years later, by 586 B.C., the southern kingdom of Judah was completely
conquered by the Babylonians,... and the people of Judah were taken into captivity to Babylon.
The original Temple of God in Jerusalem was destroyed at that time... The people of the southern
kingdom of Judah however did return after the Babylonians fell to the Persians..., and their
descendants have become the Jewish people of today - but that return in the time of Nehemiah,
or the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948, were not the fulfillment of the many
prophecies dealing with the future (as the context of the prophecies clearly show) gathering of all
of Israel, Israel and Judah.
The designation Jew belonged exclusively to the southern kingdom of Judah, the very word
Jew having been derived from Judah. And so technically, only the kingdom of Judah was
Jewish and the other tribes of Israel have no right to call themselves Jews. That this distinction
was understood in the Old Testament is seen in II Kings 16:5-6 (KJV) where the people of Israel
and the King of Syria fought against the Jews of the southern kingdom.
In the New Testament, in His message to the Church at Smyrna, the Lord Jesus Christ referred to
a synagogue of Satan as them which say they are Jews, and are not. In other words, there
was a synagogue of Israel that was not Jewish:
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those
things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may
be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a
crown of life. (Rev. 2:9-10)
The Synagogue of Satan which is the subject of this series must not be confused with the
Remnant of Jews, who will receive the Lord Jesus Christ at His Second Coming and be saved
by Him. The Synagogue of Satan are an occult power elite which, having rejected Jesus Christ as
the Messiah of Israel, conspire to substitute another messiah made in the image of their master,
Satan, and to establish a world kingdom under Satan. The Synagogue of Satan claims Jewish
descent, but does not fit God's definition of a Jew, either in the Old Testament or the New: But
he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in
the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Romans 2:29)
The Synagogue of Satan have contempt, not only for Jesus Christ, His Church and the Gentile
masses, but for the Jewish Remnant who are Torah-observant and anti-Zionist and are,
therefore, awaiting the kingdom of Israel to be restored when the Messiah appears, and not
before. As well, the Synagogue of Satan have conspired to eliminate all people, whether Jew or
Gentile, who stand in the way of their world kingdom. To this end they have developed a
staggering number of fronts, as well as the capacity to create blinds and diversions, to obscure
the fact that they are Cabalist Jews with an anti-Christ agenda. Through the centuries, the
2

Synagogue of Satan have, by means of false identities, infiltrated Gentile institutions where they
act as agents provocateursundercover agents who provoke violence and beget scandals, which
are used to bring reproach upon Jesus Christ and His Church.
The division within Jewry is no longer neatly delineated along tribal boundaries; rather the lines
have been spiritually drawn between the Synagogue of Satan and the Remnant of Israel
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put
them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make
great noise by reason of the multitude of men. (Micah 2:12)
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be
found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. (Zeph.
3:13; see also 2 Chron. 34:9, Isaiah 10:20, Jer. 6:9, 31:7, Ezek. 11:13)
Scripture is clear that the plans of the Synagogue of Satan shall utterly fail, and that they will
ultimately be destroyed. What fraction of all Israel does the Synagogue of Satan represent? The
Old Testament prophets foretold their proportions at the time they attack Jerusalem, whose
rescue and restoration will be accomplished by the Lord Himself:
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and
the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. In that day
shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day
shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before
them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come
against Jerusalem...
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut
off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire,
and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my
name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my
God. (Zech. 12:7-10; 13:8,9)
In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven
out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast
far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even
for ever. And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall
it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. (Mic.
4:1,2,6-8)

THE CABALA
Following the division of Israel and the Assyrian captivity of the northern tribes, the southern
kingdom of Judah adopted the pagan traditions of the heathen nation of ancient Babylon. These
traditions, with their associated rituals which included human sacrifice, provoked God to judge
the southern kingdom, of which judgment the prophet Jeremiah forewarned the Jews for a period
of forty years, to no avail. The Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem in three stages, from 605 to 586
B.C., in which year the Temple of Solomon was demolished and the remaining Jews were carried
into captivity. During the Babylonian captivity, the prophet Ezekiel continued to reprove Judah
for its apostasy from the God of Israel and their love affair with Babylon. Note, in the following
passage, the Jews admiration for the images of rich, brightly attired Babylonian princes, which
evoke visual images of the elegant processions of the princes of the Roman Catholic Church
attired in their rich and colorful vestments:
...[Jerusalem] increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the
images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion, Girded with girdles upon their loins,
exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the
Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity: And as soon as she saw them with her eyes,
she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea. And the Babylonians came to

her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with
them, and her mind was alienated from them. So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered
her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her... (Ezek.23:14-18)
Moreover, as Matthew Henry noted in his commentary on this passage, the kingdom of Judah
patterned its own worship after the pomp and pageantry of the Babylonians with whom they had
become enamored:
Thus she increased her whoredoms; she fell in love, fell in league, with the Chaldeans.
Hezekiah himself was faulty this way when he was proud of the court which the king of Babylon
made to him and complimented his ambassadors with the sight of all his treasures, Isa. 39:2. And
the humour increased (v. 14); she doted upon the pictures of the Babylonian captains (v. 15, 16),
joined in alliance with that kingdom, invited them to come and settle in Jerusalem, that they
might refine the genius of the Jewish nation and make it more polite; nay, they sent for patterns
of their images, altars, and temples, and made use of them in their worship. Thus was she
polluted with her whoredoms (v. 17), and thereby she discovered her own whoredom (v. 18), her
own strong inclination to idolatry.
According to two authoritative sources, H.P. Blavatsky and the Jewish Encyclopedia, the Jews
also acquired from the Chaldeans their doctrines of Eastern mysticism. These were later
developed into a written compendium of esoteric literature known as the Jewish Qabbalah or
Kabalah, and in the Middle Ages as the Latin Cabala.
Kabalah (Heb.) The hidden wisdom of the Hebrew Rabbis of the middle ages derived from the
older secret doctrines concerning divine things and cosmogony, which were combined into a
theology after the time of the captivity of the Jews in Babylon. All the works that fall under the
esoteric category are termed Kabalistic. (Blavatsky, Theosophical Glossary, p. 168)
The Pythagorean idea of the creative powers of numbers and letters, upon which the Sefer
Yetzirah is founded, and which was known in tannaitic timesis here proved to be an old
cabalistic conception. In fact, the belief in the magic power of the letters of the Tetragrammaton
and other names of the Deityseems to have originated in Chaldea (see Lenormant,
Chaldean Magic, pp. 29, 43). Whatever, then, the theurgic Cabala was , the very fact that
Abraham, and not a Talmudical hero like Akiba, is introduced in the Sefer Yetzirah, at the close,
as possessor of the Wisdom of the Alphabet, indicates an old tradition, if not the antiquity of the
book itself
The whole dualistic system of good and of evil powers, which goes back to Zoroastrianism
and ultimately to old Chaldea, can be traced through Gnosticism; having influenced the
cosmology of the ancient Cabala before it reached the medieval one
The gradual condensation of a primal substance into visible matter, a fundamental doctrine
of the Cabala, is the ancient Semitic conception of the primal ocean, known to
theBabylonians as Apsu (compare Jastrow, Religion of Babylonia), and called by the Gnostics
= (Anz, Die Frage nach dem Ursprung des Gnostizismus, p. 98).
The Chaldean religious tradition that was embraced by apostate Jews during their captivity in
Babylon was delivered to subsequent generations by word of mouth. According to Blavatsky,

these disseminators of the Chaldean tradition in the few centuries before Christ were known as
Tanaim:
Kabalist. From Q B L H, Kabala, an unwritten or oral tradition. The kabalist is a student of
secret science, one who interprets the hidden meaning of the Scriptures with the help of the
symbolical Kabala The Tanaim were the first kabalists among the Jews; they appeared at
Jerusalem about the beginning of the third century before the Christian era This secret doctrine
is identical with the Persian wisdom, or magic. (Ibid. p.167)
The dictionary defines the Medieval Latin cabala as derived from the Hebrew word qabb l
which means received doctrine, tradition, from qibb l, to receive. According to the Jewish
Encyclopedia, Cabalists claimed to have received these oral traditions, not from ancient
Chaldeans, but from the Patriarchs and Prophets by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Cabala comprised originally the entire traditional lore, in contradistinction to the written law
(Torah), and therefore included the prophetic and hagiographic books of the Bible, which were
supposed to have been received by the power of the Holy Spirit rather than as writings
from Gods hand... Each received doctrine was claimed as tradition from the Fathers...to be
traced back to the Prophets or to Moses on Sinai... The chief characteristic of the Cabala is that,
unlike the Scriptures, it was entrusted only to the few elect ones;
Because of its heretical nature, the Cabala was not generally promulgated among the Jews but
remained the secret doctrine of elect Jews. That is to say, certain Jews who were deemed
worthy could comprehend hidden teachings in the written Torah and, through mystical
techniques, make direct contact with God. Among these practices are rapid recitation of the
Holy Name of God (YHVH, or Tetragrammaton), meditation on the 11 Sephiroth of the Tree
of Life which are believed to be emanations of God, learning to use the 22 letters of the Hebrew
alphabet as force-carrying energy patterns which serve as the building blocks of the cosmos, and,
finally, transcending the space/time limitations of the physical world to realize ones inner
divinity. This secret doctrine has been preserved throughout the ages to the present time by a
spiritual brotherhood who progress individually to various stages of enlightenment and
proficiency in the hidden wisdomfrom elect to adepts to wise men to adepts in grace:
Cabala... The specific term for the esoteric or mystic doctrine concerning God and the universe,
asserted to have come down as a revelation to elect saints from a remote past, and preserved only
by a privileged few. At first consisting only of empirical lore, it assumed, under the influence of
Neoplatonic and Neopythagorean philosophy, a speculative character. In the geonic period it is
connected with a Mishnah-like text-book, the Sefer Yetzirah, and forms the object of the
systematic study of the elect, called mekubbalim or baale ha-kabbalah (possessors of, or
adepts in, the Cabala). These receive afterward the name of maskilim (the wise), after Dan. xii.
10; and because the Cabala is called (Hokmah nistarah = the hidden wisdom), the initials of
which are , they receive also the name of (adepts in grace) (Eccl. ix. 11, Hebr.). (Ibid.)
THE PHARISEES
The Tanaim, which meant teacher of the law, were the Scribes, the rabbis whom Blavatsky
identified as the first Kabalists. From the ranks of the Scribes evolved the sect of the Pharisees.
6

According toOccult Theocrasy, by Edith Starr Miller, the creators of the Cabala were the
Pharisees, who had formed their sect in Babylon during the captivity and functioned as a secret
society after the Jews returned to Israel. The secret doctrine of Babylon remained the oral
tradition of the Pharisees until they committed it to written form:
In his book Nicholas II et les Juifs, Netchvolodow explains that the Chaldean science
acquired by many of the Jewish priests, during the captivity of Babylon, gave birth to the sect of
the Pharisees whose name only appears in the Holy Scriptures and in the writings of the Jewish
historians after the captivity (606 B.C.). The works of the celebrated scientist Munk leaves no
doubt on the point that the sect appeared during the period of the captivity.
From then dates the Cabala or Tradition of the Pharisees. For a long time their precepts were
only transmitted orally but later they formed the Talmud and received their final form in the book
called the Sepher ha Zohar.
The Pharisees were, as it were, a class whose tendency was to form a kind of intellectual
aristocracy among the Jews. At first, they formed a sort of brotherhood, a haburah, the
members being called haburim or brothers. They were a subversive element, aiming at the
overthrow of the Sadducean High-priesthood, whose members prided themselves on their
aristocracy of blood and birth, to which the Pharisees opposed an aristocracy of learning. The
war raged by the latter extends over a long period of time, and the rivalry was bitter...
The power of the Sadducees fell with the destruction of the Temple by Titus and thenceforth
the Pharisaic element held supremacy among the Jews. Quoting an acknowledged authority on
Judaism, Mr. Flavien Brenier, Lt. Gen. Netchvolodow further describes the policy of the sect as
follows:
Before appearing proudly as the expression of Jewish aspirations, The Tradition of the
Pharisees had serious difficulties to surmount, the chief of which was the revival of the orthodox
faith stimulated in the Jewish people by the Captivity. To the exiles, bemoaning the fall of the
Temple of Jerusalem and begging Jehovah to end the misfortunes of their homeland, the
revelation that Jehovah was only a phantom, entailed not only a certain defeat, but also their own
exposure to perils the least of which would have been the loss of all authority over Israel.
The Pharisees, then, judging it wiser to capture the confidence of their compatriots by
taking the lead in the religious movement, affected a scrupulous observance of the slightest
prescriptions of the law and instituted the practice of complicated rituals, simultaneously
however cultivating the new doctrine [i.e. secret doctrine] in their secret sanctuaries. These
were regular secret societies, composed during the captivity of a few hundred adepts. At the time
of Flavius Josephus which was that of their greatest prosperity, they numbered only some 6,000
members. (Occult Theocrasy, pp. 76-78)
To these hypocrites, Jesus reserved His most scathing condemnations:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which
indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and
iniquity. (Matt. 23:27-28)
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your
own tradition... Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have
delivered: and many such like things do ye. (Mark 7:9,13)
7

According to Occult Theocrasy, the Pharisees assumed the outward appearance of religious
scrupulosity all the while they were conducting pagan rites in secret, as did their antecedents, the
elders of Judah, in the Temple of Solomon, as the Lord revealed to the prophet Ezekiel.
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. 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. And he brought me
to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son
of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto
me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 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. 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. (Ezekiel 8: 5-14)
Netchvolodow likens the Pharisees to our modern Freemasons, whose Gnostic and dominionist
agenda were subversive of society. Compare Netchvolodows characterization of the Pharisees to
our modern Zionists, i.e. the Judeo-Freemasons, who are secret practitioners of the Kabalah,
while affecting to hold to the traditional beliefs of Judaism as set forth in the Old Testament.
This group of intellectual pantheists was soon to acquire a directing influence over the
Jewish nation. Nothing, moreover, likely to offend national sentiment ever appeared in their
doctrines. However saturated with pantheistic Chaldeism they might have been, the Pharisees
preserved their ethnic pride intact. This religion of Man divinised, which they had absorbed at
Babylon, they conceived solely as applying to the profit of the Jew, the superior and predestined
being. The promises of universal dominion which the orthodox Jew found in the Law, the
Pharisees did not interpret in the sense of the reign of the God of Moses over the nations, but in
that of a material domination to be imposed on the universe by the Jews. The awaited
Messiah was no longer the Redeemer of original Sin, a spiritual victor who would lead the
world, it was a temporal king, bloody with battle, who would make Israel master of the world
and drag all peoples under the wheels of his chariot. The Pharisees did not ask this
enslavement of the nations of a mystical Jehovah, which they continued worshipping in public,
only as a concession to popular opinion, for they expected its eventual consummation to be
achieved by the secular patience of Israel and the use of human means.
Monstrously different from the ancient law were such principles as these, but they had
nothing one could see, which might have rendered unpopular those who let them filter, drop by
drop, among the Jews.
The admirably conceived organization of the Pharisees did not fail soon to bear fruit.

One cannot better define its action in the midst of Jewish society before Jesus Christ, said
Mr. Flavien Brenier, than in comparing it with that of the Freemasons in modern society.
A carefully restricted membership tightly bound, imposing on their members the religion of
the secret, the Pharisees pursued relentlessly their double aim which was:
1. The seizure of political power, by the possession of the great political offices (the
influence of which was tremendous in the reconstituted Jewish nation) and the conquest of the
Sanhedrin (Jewish parliament).
2. To modify gradually the conceptions of the people in the direction of their secret
doctrine...
The second of these aims and its method of attainment is exposed in the so-called Protocols
of the Wise Men of Zion so loudly denounced by the descendants of those who devised The
Secret Doctrine in Israel, Israel here meaning the Jews as a religious community, most of whom
remain quite ignorant of the intricate subversive schemes imputed to them.
The attitude of Jesus Christ to this sect is definitely expressed in the New Testament (see
Luke XI and John VIII (Ibid. pp.76-80)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are as graves which appear not, and the
men that walk over them are not aware of them. (Luke 11:44)
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him (John 8:44)
Here is confirmation of a long-standing division within Jewry that is in evidence today between
the Zionist High Cabal and the non-Zionist, Torah Jews, as well as the common Jew who knows
nothing of the Cabalists diabolical schemes perpetrated upon the Gentile world and even upon
their own race.
THE ESSENES
Another faction within Jewry associated with the Kabalah were the Essenes, a monastic
community which lived in the desert of Qumran, the area near the Dead Sea which had formerly
been Gomorrah. The Jewish Encyclopedia describes the cabalistic practices of the Essenes,
which were Judaized elements of Eastern mystical traditions:
So, too, were the Essenes familiar with the idea of the journey to heavenand they were
also masters of angelology. The practise of magic and incantation, the angelology and
demonology, were borrowed from Babylonia, Persia, and Egypt; but these foreign elements
were Judaized in the process, and took the form of the mystical adoration of the name of God
and of speculations regarding the mysterious power of the Hebrew alphabet , the name of
God creates and destroys worlds), to become, finally, foundations of the philosophy of the
Sefer Yetzirah. (Jewish Encyclopedia)
According to the Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, as cited in the Jewish Encyclopedia, the
Essenes were guardians of the secret writings of the Cabala:
In fact, the apocalyptic literature belonging to the second and first pre-Christian centuries
contained the chief elements of the Cabala; and as, according to Josephus (l.c.), such writings
9

were in the possession of the Essenes, and were jealously guarded by them against disclosure, for
which they claimed a hoary antiquity (see Philo, De Vita Contemplativa, iii., and Hippolytus,
Refutation of all Heresies, ix. 27) (Ibid.)
The Essenes claimed to be the legitimate sons of Zadok, or Temple priesthood. They are
credited with writing the Dead Sea Scrolls which were discovered in 1945 and are now being
promoted as the oldest known copies of Jewish scripture. According to a CopticOrthodox source, Gnosis is a key word in the scrolls of the Jewish Essene sect found at
Qumran. H.P. Blavatsky noted that the Essenes were pagan priests of the Greek goddess, Diana
of Ephesus, where the Tanaim had established a college for instruction in the Chaldean mystery
religion:
Essenes... They had many Buddhistic ideas and practices; and it is noteworthy that the priests of
the Great Mother at Ephesus, Diana-Bhavani with many breasts, were also denominated... It was
at Ephesus where was the great College of the Essenes and all the lore the Tanaim had brought
from the Chaldees... Essenes, believed in reincarnation. (Theosophical Glossary, pp. 11314; The Secret Doctrine, Vol. II, p. 111n)
The Masonic writers, Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, are part of a great campaign to
legitimize the Dead Sea Scrolls as the true scriptures and the Essenes as the rightful priesthood
of Israel (based on personal sanctity rather than lineage). They further misrepresent Jesus and
John the Baptist as high-ranking Essenes and the Qumran Community as the original Jerusalem
Church:
That the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls, who we know call the Qumran Community, were
Essenes is now beyond doubt; and that these people were the Nasoreans or the original Jerusalem
Church
To us it seems inescapable that the man who was Jesus the Christ must have been a leading
Qumranian figure during the crucial years of the third and fourth decades of the first century. The
communitys numbers were tiny at that time, possibly no more than two hundred people, and
perhaps there were little more than around four thousand Essenes in total. Theysaw imminent
salvation from their problems through holiness and, although they were not hereditary priests,
through living a monastic existence. This involved a society that was extremely hierarchical,
from the Guardian or Grand Master downwards
Initiation into the higher echelons required vows of secrecy that carried threat of horrible
punishments should the secrets of the brotherhood be revealed to the outside world. This sounds
like a highly Masonic practice They wore white robes, took vows of poverty, swore to secrecy
under threat of terrible punishment and claimed to possess secret knowledge
Finally the imagination of Ezekiel establishes the rules for the priesthood that would become
the landmarks of the Essenes of Qumran. The legitimate priests of the sanctuary are to be the
sons of Zadok, the erstwhile chief priest. Known to the people of Qumran as Zadokites, these
sons of Zadok would wear white linen garments when they entered the inner court. (The Hiram
Key, pp. 54-58, 181)
Knight and Lomas also inadvertently reveal that an Essene monk will be the False Prophet who
rises to power during the Tribulation period. Acclaimed as a Teacher of Righteousness and an

10

Interpreter of the Law, this Cabalist will re-institute the proper worship in the Temple of
Jerusalem:
Whoever the Teacher of Righteousness was, he must have been a pious, holy man and
apparently was a priestly descendant of Zadok, who revealed to his Community that they were
living in a time that would be the end of days as predicted by the old prophets. Soon, he told
them, God would crush His enemies in a final cosmic battle and usher in the new age of
righteousness, and as the Community was the last remnant of true Israelthe people of
Yahweh's covenantit would be they who would fight the battle and would return to Jerusalem
to purify the Temple and re-institute proper worship.
...God, however, will save His people by the hands of two messianic figures who will arise at
the end of time; one from the Branch of David and the other the Interpreter of the Law.
(Ibid., p. 201-2)
In The White Goddess, Robert Graves associated the Essenes with the apostate tribe of Dan, the
tribe of Samson, the Nazarite who judged Israel: I also suggest in King Jesus that the two
mysterious Orders of the Essenes, Sampsonians and Helicaeans, were adepts in the calendar
mysteries and were named after Samson...and the Helix, or cosmic circle. (p. 150) It is possible
that Samsons riddle was a prophecy that, at a future time, the tribe of Dan would try to usurp the
messianic lineage of the tribe of Judah and inaugurate a pagan messianic kingdom. [See: The
Lost Tribe of Dan] Graves states previously, Though Jews... they believed in the Western
Paradise which is a reference to Atlantis Isles of the Blest (p.149).
The Essenes, which appeared in Judea during the Hasmonean dynasty (the Maccabean revolt
against the Greeks) and continued through the Herodian dynasty, abruptly disappeared after the
destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Robert Graves stated in The White Goddess that the
Alexandrian Gnostics...were the spiritual heirs of the Essenes after Hadrian had suppressed the
Order in 132 A.D. (p.150)
THE ALEXANDRIAN GNOSTICS
Alexandria, Egypt was a center of interchange of religious ideas as well as the intellectual
meeting point between the Jews and the Greeks. After the fall of Jerusalem, Alexandria would
become the epicenter from which the Cabalist Jews, who had synthesized their Chaldean
witchcraft with Neo-Platonic philosophy, would cloak the new Cabalism in Christian
terminology and attempt to penetrate the fledgling Church with heresy. As the origins of the
Cabala were documented in the Chaldean mystery religion, the Jewish Encyclopedia locates the
source of Gnosticism in Jewish Cabalism:
But especially does Gnosticism testify to the antiquity of the Cabala. Of Chaldean origin...
Gnosticism was Jewish in character long before it became Christian... Gnosticismthat is,
the cabalistic Hokmah (wisdom)seems to have been the first attempt on the part of the
Jewish sages to give the empirical mystic lore, with the help of Platonic and Pythagorean or
Stoic ideas, a speculative turn; hence the danger of heresyof which the systems of Philo, an
adept in Cabala...show many pitfalls...
Jewish gnosticism unquestionably antedates Christianity, for Biblical exegesis had
already reached an age of five hundred years by the first century C.E. Judaism had been in
11

close contact with Babylonian-Persian ideas for at least that length of time, and for nearly as
long a period with Hellenistic ideas. Magic, also, which,...was a not unimportant part of the
doctrines and manifestations of gnosticism, largely occupied Jewish thinkers. There is, in
general, no circle of ideas to which elements of gnosticism have been traced, and with which the
Jews were not acquainted. (Jewish Encyclopedia)
Since the secret doctrine of the Alexandrian Gnostics was simply a Christianized version of
that found in the Cabala, we are not surprised to find many correspondences. In a nutshell, the
Gnostic gospel is based on the Cabalistic quest for liberation from the material world, with the
assistance of angels, of course.
Closely connected herewith is the doctrine that the pious are enabled to ascend toward God
even in this life, if they know how to free themselves from the trammels that bind the soul to the
body (see Ascension). Thus were the first mystics enabled to disclose the mysteries of the world
beyond. According to Anz, l.c., and Bousset, the central doctrine of Gnosticisma
movement closely connected with Jewish mysticismwas nothing else than the attempt to
liberate the soul and unite it with God. This conception explains the great prominence of
angels and spirits in both the earlier and the later Jewish mysticism. Through the employment of
mysteries, incantations, names of angels, etc., the mystic assures for himself the passage to God,
and learns the holy words and formulas with which he overpowers the evil spirits that try to
thwart and destroy him. Gaining thereby the mastery over them, he naturally wishes to exercise it
even while still on earth, and tries to make the spirits serviceable to him. (Jewish Encyclopedia)
Contemporary with Jesus Christ was Philo Judaeus (c. 30 BC-45 AD), a Hellenized Jew of
Alexandria who is credited with first allegorizing Scripture and applying the mystical method to
the Mosaic writings. Unrivaled in esoteric knowledge, according to Blavatsky, Philo was a
member of the elitist Alexandrian society called the Therapeutae, also called an esoteric circle
of illuminati of wise men.
Therapeutae. (Gr.) or Therapeutes. A school of Esotericists, which was an inner group within
Alexandrian Judaism... They were healers in the sense that some Christian and Mental
Scientists, members of the [Theosophical Society], are healers, while they are at the same time
good Theosophists and students of the esoteric sciences. Philo Judeaus calls them servants of
god...an esoteric circle of illuminati, of wise men... They were contemplative Hellenistic
Jews. (Theosophical Glossary, p.329)
The Jewish Encyclopedia states concerning the Therapeutae, The members of the sect seem to
have branched off from the Essene brotherhood. Both of these Gnostic orders were Jewish
ascetics who practiced celibacy based on the Gnostic belief that, since the material world is was
created by an evil Demiurge, to reproduce is to merely to populate and perpetuate Satans evil
world system. Professor Constantine Scouteris of the University of Athens describes the
differences between the strict celibacy of the Therapeutae and less rigid Essene community:
In his De Vita Contemplativa the Alexandrian Philo makes an extremely remarkable description
of an ascetic community with which he was familiar and which was settled not far from
Alexandria, namely above Lake Mareotis. Philo's intention in this treatise is...to sketch the way
of life of a specific monastic community of Egyptian Jewish ascetics. At the very beginning of
his treatise, Philo notes the substantial contrast between the Therapeutae and another Jewish
12

ascetic sect, the Essenes. The Essenes led a more practical and active life, while the Therapeutae
were dedicated to contemplative life. One could observe also other differences between the two
ascetic traditions. The Essenes were exclusively male communities while women participated in
the communal gatherings of the Therapeutae communities. Although the Essenes highly
organized communal life involved great frugality, there is no conclusive evidence that it denied
the lawfulness of marriage. The ascetic tradition of the Therapeutae, on the other hand, insisted
on absolute sexual abstinence. The Therapeutae did not practice the Essene communistic way of
life but lived separately as anchorites. They practiced renunciation of property, living a life of
severe discipline, fasting and praying daily according to an established horarium. (The
Therapeutae of Philo)
After Philos death in 45 A.D., there arose in Alexandria the Society of Ormus, which meant
Sages of Light. The founder of this society was Ormesuis, a Seraphic monk / Egyptian magus
who was reportedly converted by St. Mark (a likely story) and proceeded to blend the mystery
teachings and rites of the Egyptian priests with Christianity. According to Albert
Mackeys Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, this society merged with the Cabalist school of the
Essenes and other Jews, presumably the Therapeutae. The Essenes who belonged to the Society
of Ormus were part of the Essene Brotherhood based in Alexandria. The insignia of the Society
of Ormus was a red cross.
Their founder was a seraphic priest of Alexandria, a magus of Egypt named Ormesius, or
ORMUS, who with six of his companions was converted in the year 96 by Saint Mark. He
purified the doctrine of the Egyptians according to the precepts of Christianity, and founded the
Society of ORMUS, that is to say, the Sages of Light, to the members of which he gave a red
cross as a decoration. ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE ESSENES and other Jews founded a
school of SOLOMONIC WISDOM, to which the disciples of ORMUS attached themselves.
Then the society was divided into various Orders known as the Conservators of Mosaic Secrets,
of Hermetic Secrets, etc. (45) (46). (illumiGnosis, quoting Mackey II, p. 636)
Two centuries later, Philos method of allegorical interpretation of Scripture was taught by
Clement and Origen in their catechetical school of Alexandria where they synthesized NeoPlatonism with Christianity to produce a Christianized version of Gnosticism. These misnamed
Church fathers were ascetics, whose harsh treatment of the body is rejected by Scripture:
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of
the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. (Col. 2:23) In his History of the
Christian Church, Philip Schaff described the basis of the false doctrine of asceticism as spiritual
elitism akin to Gnosticism:
The Alexandrian fathers furnished a theoretical basis for this asceticism in the distinction of a
lower and higher morality, which corresponds to the Platonic or Pythagorean distinction between
the life according to nature and the life above nature or the practical and contemplative life. It
was previously suggested by Hermas about the middle of the second century. Tertullian made a
corresponding opposite distinction of mortal and venial sins. Here was a source of serious
practical errors, and an encouragement both to moral laxity and ascetic extravagance. The
ascetics, and afterwards the monks, formed or claimed to be a moral nobility, a spiritual
aristocracy, above the common Christian people; as the clergy stood in a separate caste of
inviolable dignity above the laity, who were content with a lower grade of virtue. Clement of
Alexandria, otherwise remarkable for his elevated ethical views, requires of the sage or gnostic,

13

that he excel the plain Christian not only by higher knowledge, but also by higher, emotionless
virtue, and stoical superiority to all bodily conditions; and he inclines to regard the body, with
Plato, as the grave and fetter of the soul. How little he understood the Pauline doctrine of
justification by faith, may be inferred from a passage in the Stromata, where be explains the
word of Christ: Thy faith hath saved thee, as referring, not to faith simply, but to the Jews
only, who lived according to the law; as if faith was something to be added to the good
works, instead of being the source and principle of the holy life. Origen goes still further, and
propounds quite distinctly the catholic doctrine of two kinds of morality and piety, a lower for all
Christians, and a higher for saints or the select few. He includes in the higher morality works of
supererogation, i.e. works not enjoined indeed in the gospel, yet recommended as counsels of
perfection, which were supposed to establish a peculiar merit and secure a higher degree of
blessedness. He who does only what is required of all is an unprofitable servant; but he who does
more, who performs, for example, what Paul, in 1 Cor. 7:25, merely recommends, concerning the
single state, or like him, resigns his just claim to temporal remuneration for spiritual service, is
called a good and faithful servant. Among these works were reckoned martyrdom, voluntary
poverty, and voluntary celibacy. (Heretical and Catholic Asceticism)
Here we see that the false doctrine of the so-called Christian Gnostics resembled the salvation
by works taught by the Gnostic Jews at the Platonic schools in Alexandria. It is worth noting
here that the Gnostic heresiarchs were Jews, a fact well-known to the true Church Fathers who
were their contemporaries. This huge piece of the puzzle has been missing in the sanitized
accounts of the Gnostics disseminated to the Gentile world, but is readily available in the Jewish
Encyclopedia:
It is a noteworthy fact that heads of gnostic schools and founders of gnostic systems are
designated as Jews by the Church Fathers. Some derive all heresies, including those of
gnosticism, from Judaism ... It must furthermore be noted that Hebrew words and names of God
provide the skeleton for several gnostic systems... This fact proves at least that the principal
elements of gnosticism were derived from Jewish speculation, while it does not preclude the
possibility of new wine having been poured into old bottles. (Gnosticism)
Irenaeus, whose treatise, Against Heresies, was directed against the Gnostics, indicted apostate
Jews as the inventors of this heresy:
Arising among these men, Saturninus (who was of that Antioch which is near Daphne) and
Basilides laid hold of some favourable opportunities, and promulgated different systems of
doctrinethe one in Syria, the other at Alexandria These men, moreover, practise magic; and
use images, incantations, invocations, and every other kind of curious art They declare that
they are no longer Jews, and that they are not yet Christians; and that it is not at all fitting to
speak openly of their mysteries, but right to keep them secret by preserving silence. (Against
Heresies, Book I, Ch. XXIV)
The Plot Against the Church, a history of Jewish infiltration of the Catholic Church by Maurice
Pinay (a pseudonym for a team of Catholic priests), documents from various sources the
foundation of Gnosticism to be the Jewish Cabala, and the Alexandrian Gnostics to be Jewish
Cabalists.

14

Matter, the renowned historian of Gnosticism reports to us that the leading Jewish
personages, the Alexandrian philosophers Filon and Aristobulus, who were completely and
utterly true to the religion of their fathers, resolved to deck themselves out with the remains of
other systems and make a way clear to Jewry for enormous conquests; both were also leaders of
Gnosticism and Cabbalists
The said author explains: that The Cabbala existed before Gnosticism, is an opinion
which the Christian writers little understand, but which the scholars of Judaism admit with true
certainty; they also assert, that Gnosticism was not exactly a falling away from Christianity but
a compilation of systems, in which several Christian elements were taken up
In his confirmation that Cabbalists founded Gnosticism, the famous historian of
Freemasonry, Ragon, reports that: The Cabbala is the key of the secret sciences. The Gnostics
emanated from the Cabbalists. The Jewish Encyclopedia asserts that Gnosticism had a
Jewish character, before it was transformed into the Christian
On the other hand, the Encyclopedia Judaica Castellana alludes to the fact, that:
The original Gnosticism, both the Christian as well as the Jewish, used Hebrew names in its
system and that it even based its opposition upon Biblical ideas, points to Jewish origin. It says
in addition that it influenced the later development of the Cabala 525:262-3
Perhaps the most influential of the arch heretics was Valentinus, whose Gnostic school endured
for over 600 years and whose belief system exists even today. Valentinus, a Jew born in Egypt
around 100 A.D., was educated in Alexandria where he became a disciple of one Theudas who
claimed to have been a disciple of the apostle Paul who privately taught the hidden wisdom to
his inner circle. Typical of the early Gnostics, Valentinus also claimed to have had a vision of the
risen Christ, after which he commenced his career as a teacher at Alexandria (c. 120 AD). The
truth about Valentinus conversion is more available in historical accounts of the Romans brutal
suppression of Jewish sedition in Egypt in 118 A.D.
Decimated by Roman troops deployed in the Jewish quarters, with their urban and religious
organisation shattered, remnants of Egyptian Jewry metamorphosed into embryonic
Christians (... in the eyes of the local Greeks, Christianity was just another brand of Judaism.
Irshai.) Notable among them was a young man he would have been about eighteen at the time
of the insurrection studying in the very city of Alexandria and witness to the carnage:
Valentinus. Another was Basilides. Following in the tradition of synthesis and syncretism of
long-standing in Alexandria (e.g. Philo a generation earlier), these proto-Christian theorists,
Valentinus and Basilides competed against each other, had their own cult followings, and
produced their own gospels.
Valentinian Gnosticism attracted a large number of adherents in Egypt and Syria. In 136 AD,
Valentinus relocated to Rome where he founded another school and rose to prominence
throughout Europe. Maurice Pinay recounted the powerful refutation of this adversary of the
Christian faith by Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 130-202):
The evidence of the Church Fathers completes the total picture of proofsin order to
show that Gnosticism was the work of Jewry; for they name several of the leaders of the Gnostic
schools as Jews
Saint Ireneus, described Valentinus, a Jew from Alexandria, as leader of the Gnostics

15

The most dangerous of allsecret sects for Christianity was directed by the crypto-Jew
Valentinus, who was the type of classical member of the Fifth Column. For he was outwardly
active as true Christian and spread disintegration in Holy Church, by spreading out his disastrous
sect. At first he had the city of Alexandria as chief bulwark, but towards the middle of the second
century he went to Rome with the intention of undermining Christianity in the capital of the
Empire itself. The Valentinians seriously threatened to disintegrate Holy Church from within,
which finally in order to nullify the disastrous work of this false Christian, a true Jew of the
Fifth Column, cast him out of its bosom
The Gnostics had mystery plays and initiations. Tertullian assures us, that the sects of the
Valentinians destroyed the Mystery plays in Eleusis and made a sanctuary of prostitution out of
them. And we must not forget, that Valentine, the false Christ and crypto-Jew from Alexandria
was revealed by the Saint Irenaeus as leader of the Gnostics, whose sects according to several
people were directed by one and the same power
That great leader, who appeared in the Church, in order to combat Gnosticism and to triumph
over it, was in fact Saint Irenaeus, who thoroughly studied its disastrous sects and their dark
teachings and mercilessly fought them in word and deed. Simultaneously he attacked the Jews,
whom he described as leaders of this disintegrating underground movement, [28] whose
strongest and most dangerous sect for Christianity was that of the Valentinians, which was led
by Valentinius, behind whose false Christianity Saint Ireneus discovered the Jewish
identity.
Thanks to the manly and ceaseless labour of Saint Ireneus, Holy Church was successful in
triumphing over the Gnosis, which for rising Christianity was a more threatening internal danger
than the grave external intrigues which were then represented through the frontal attacks of the
synagogue and its intrigues Naturally, the existence of a devout and very combative clergy, to
whom indulgence was disguised with the cloak of peaceful coexistence or of diplomacy was not
known, had the effect that Holy Church emerged victorious from this terrible struggle, in which
it completely overcame its foes: Jewry, Jewish Gnosticism and Roman paganism
[28] His work Adversus Haereses is especially important. (The Plot Against the
Church, pp. 262-8)
In 143 A.D. Valentinus was a candidate for the office of bishop of Rome, but upon being passed
over for that position he left the Christian community. About the time of Valentinus, another arch
heretic, Marcion, arrived in Rome. Irenaeus wrote of his official rejection by the Church at
Rome, which was under the oversight of bishops (not popes):
For Valentinus came to Rome in the time of Hyginus, flourished under Pius, and remained until
Anicetus. Cerdon, too, Marcion's predecessor, himself arrived in the time of Hyginus, who was
the ninth bishop. Coming frequently into the Church, and making public confession, he thus
remained, one time teaching in secret, and then again making public confession; but at last,
having been denounced for corrupt teaching, he was excommunicated from the assembly of the
brethren.
After Valentinus death, his disciples developed his ideas into a system which they spread
throughout the Roman Empire. In his work, Valentinus: A Gnostic for All Seasons, Stephan A.
Hoeller theorizes as to the course of Christendom, had Valentinus become Pope:

16

It is certainly a question of some interest what the course of Christian theology might have been
had Valentinus been elected to the office of bishop of Rome. His hermeneutic vision combined
with his superb sense of the mythical would have probably resulted in a general flowering of the
Gnosis within the very fabric of the Church of Rome, and might have created an authoritative
paradigm of Gnostic Christianity that could not have been easily exorcised for centuries, if at
all. (The Almost Pope)
THE JUDAIZERS
During the first century, the apostle Paul had valiantly contended against the Judaizing heresy,
giving no place to the unbelieving Jews who stalked him from city to city agitating the crowds as
he preached the Gospel. Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and
temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews... (Acts 20:19)
The Interlinear Greek-English New Testament (Textus Receptus) translates the last phrase of
verse 19 plots of the Jews. Verse 3 of this chapter mentions that the Jews who were involved in
the uproar at Ephesus continued to plot against the disciples. And having continued three
months, having been made against them a plot by the Jews, being about to sail into Syria, arose
a purpose to return through Macedonia. The word plot suggests that the continual attacks on
the Gospel were planned, as in a conspiracy: Plot, n. [Abbrev. from complot.] 1. Any scheme,
stratagem, secret design, or plan, of a complicated nature, adapted to the accomplishment of
some purpose, usually a treacherous and mischievous one; a conspiracy; an intrigue...cabal
(Websters)
It seems that Jews were also infiltrating the churches, bringing their false doctrines with them; as
Paul stated, these Jews were false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out
our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage. (Gal. 2:4) It is
likely Paul anticipated that the Judaizing heresy, which had appeared in Corinth and Galatia,
would eventually manifest in other churches, and especially in Rome, the center and seat of
earthly power and government. For this reason, the doctrinal position of the Christian community
in Rome, whose power and influence was destined only to increase, would carry great weight in
deciding the Judaizing controversy. This may explain why Pauls epistle to the Romans was a
defense of the fundamental doctrine of the righteousness which is of faith as contrasted with
the Jewish concept of righteousness which is of the law.
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they
being ignorant of Gods righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for
righteousness to every one that believeth... That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved. (Rom.10:2-4,9)
Tragically, before his departure from Ephesus to Jerusalem, whence he would appeal to appear
before Caesar in Rome, Paul prophesied that the Christian churches would be infiltrated by
heretics, chief among whom were the Judaizers.

17

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing
the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away
disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased
not to warn every one night and day with tears. (Acts 20:20)
Before departing on his final journey to Rome, Paul also commended the believers to the word
of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which
are sanctified (v.30) as opposed to the works of the law by which no flesh is justified.
(Gal.2:16)
JEWISH COMMUNITY IN ROME
During the time of Christ and the early Church period there was a sizeable Jewish community in
Rome, estimated at 40,000 Jews. Josephus mentioned a lawsuit that involved 8,000 Jews in
Rome during the reign of Caesar Augustus (44 BC-14.AD), presumably adult men each with a
family of at least four or five members. (Jewish Antiquities, Vol. II, p. 80) The number of Jews in
Rome increased considerably after the mass deportation of captives from Jerusalem following its
destruction in 70 A.D.
There was also a thriving Jewish community in the area which became the Vatican. According to
The Vatican & Rome as elements of apocalyptic discourse: The origins of the Citt del
Vaticano are as an unpleasant neighborhood outside the city walls populated by Jews and
beginning in the first century by (Jewish) Christians and still later by the persecuted Gentile
converts to the Christian sect. The Latin word Vatican means divining serpent (see Papal
Crest Dragon):
The word Vatican literally means Divining Serpent, and is derived from Vatis=Diviner and
Can=Serpent. Vatican City and St. Peters Basilica were built on the ancient pagan site called in
Latin vaticanus mons or vaticanus collis, which means hill or mountain of prophecy. Coins
minted in Vatican City often bear the inscription CITT DEL VATICANO, which means City
of Prophecy. (The Wine of Babylon)
The Jewish community in Rome dates at least as far back as the Maccabees, who had cordial
relations with Rome and received pledges of Roman friendship and protection. (See: Jews
become allies of Rome) Jewish culture prospered in Rome during the early centuries of first
millennium, even to the extent that Jews held government positions and received favored
treatment from the Caesars. It was not until Constantine the Great, who reigned as emperor from
306 to 336, that Jews were proscribed from holding state offices, owning slaves or testifying in
court against Christians, among other restrictions. The Jewish Virtual Library reveals the
influence and status of the Jewish community in Rome.
The Jewish community in Rome is known to be the oldest Jewish community in Europe and
also one of the oldest continuous Jewish settlements in the world, dating back to 161
B.C.E.when Jason ben Eleazar and Eupolemus ben Johanan came as envoys of Judah
Maccabee. Other delegations were sent by the Hasmonean rulers in 150 and 139 B.C.E. After
the Romans invaded Judea in 63 B.C.E., Jewish prisoners of war were brought to Rome as

18

slaves, Jewish delegates came to Rome on diplomatic missions and Jewish merchants traveled to
Rome seeking business opportunities. Many of those who visited Rome stayed and the Jewish
population began to grow.
While the treatment of Jews by the Romans in Palestine was often harsh, relations with the
rulers in Rome were generally much better. Julius Caesar, for example, was known to be a
friend of the Jews; he allowed them to settle anywhere in the Roman Empire. According to
historians, when Caesar was assassinated by Brutus in 44 B.C.E., Roman Jews spent day and
night at Caesars tomb, weeping over his death. His successor, Augustus, also acted favorably
toward the Jews and even scheduled his grain distribution so that it would not interfere with the
Jewish Sabbath. Two synagogues were founded by slaves who had been freed by Augustus (14
C.E.) and by Agrippa (12 B.C.E.)...
From the second half of the first century C.E., the Roman Jewish community became firmly
established. A majority of the community were shopkeepers, craftsman and peddlers, but other
Jews became poets, physicians and actors... Evidence has been found that twelve synagogues
were functioning during this period.
Always industrious and enterprising, the Jews used Rome as a base to gain influence throughout
Europe,. Their success was largely achieved through finance, and especially usury, the charging
of excessive interest on loans by means of which wealthy Jews would eventually enslave the
European monarchies. As the headquarters of the empire, Rome was strategic to the European
operations of the Jewish elite. The scheme employed in the takeover of Rome is revealed by the
two Jewish converts to Roman Catholicism who became priests:
Usury for Power...
The human causes of [the persecution of Jews], unique in history, are witnessed by the Jews
insatiable appetite for turning to usury to gain power through betrayal in order to dominate, and
whenever possible, to take over and overthrow the State.
In every country, this immutable law of Hebrew prosperity in every country is always to the
detriment of the well being and liberty of the inhabitants. Many years before Rome fell into the
claws of history, the famous Lemann brothers, who converted from Judaism and became priests
of the Catholic Church, in one of their works, which merits meditation, wrote:
O Israelites of Rome, we understand the attitude of our people. If you are conceded the right
of possession which you invoke, we wager that, within thirty to fifty years from now, Rome will
be in your hands. (ff. Rome et les juives. Rome and the Jews)
And so the prophecy came to pass. The city of Rome fell quickly into the abyss, and was
economically and materially subjugated to the Jews, as were all of the major cities of the great
nations of Europe. (La Civilta Cattolica)
It was into this prospering Jewish community at Rome that the Gospel of Jesus Christ made an
entrance, for the it is recorded in Acts 18:2 that, while in Corinth, Paul found a certain Jew
named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that
Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. A Commentary
on Romans by James R. Edwards alludes to the tensions between the Jews and Gentile converts
in Rome who, at the council of Jerusalem, as recorded in Acts 15, had been officially released
from the Mosaic Law.

19

The Edict of Claudius. Claudius, who ruled Rome from AD 41 to 54, found the Pax
Romana threatened by Jewish disturbances from Rome to distant Egypt. In his first year of office
he imposed a restraining order on the Jews, forbidding them to meet together in accordance with
their ancestral way of life. Eight years later, in AD 49, he cracked down on foreigners in general.
The Roman historian Suetonius says, Since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the
instigation of Chrestus, (Claudius) expelled them from Rome....
The expulsion of Jews from Rome dramatically changed the constituency of the fledgling
Christian communities there. A movement that from its inception had identified more or less with
Judaism was now confronted with a predominantly, if not exclusively, Gentile Christian
membership. Freed from the influence of scrupulous Jewish Christians, particularly in dietary
matters, the Gentile Christian communities would have grown numerically stronger. But more
importantly, they more than likely developed a distinctly antinomian consciousness during the
absence of their Jewish Christian counterparts. How long this situation lasted we cannot say, but
the five years between the proclamation of the edict in AD 49 and Claudius death in AD 54 is a
reasonable guess.
This changed when Claudius died and the edict lapsed. It is not difficult to imagine the
difficulties which must have ensued when Jewish Christians returning from exile tried to
reestablish themselves in Christian communities that had since matured in Gentile character,
especially regarding laxness toward the Torah. Pauls greetings at the end of Romans seem
directed to several different (house) churches (see 16:5,14,15), the existence of which may be
evidence of tensions between Jewish and Gentile Christians. If our dating of Romans is correct and the date cannot have been more than a year or two away from AD 57 - then Romans was
written only a few years after the onset of this social and religious maelstrom. (pp. 8-11)
A maelstrom indeed ensued when Claudius was succeeded by the Emperor Nero who, in A.D.
64, launched the fierce persecutions of Christians that would continue for two hundred and fifty
years. AWorld History website ascribes the Great Fire of Rome to Jewish fanatics, who shifted
the blame to the Christians:
An official investigation concluded that the fire had been started by Jewish fanatics. This put
the Jewish community in Rome in danger, and Jewish leaders in Rome may have tried to avert
this danger by describing to authorities the difference between themselves and the Christians.
The leaders of Jews in Rome could reach the emperor, Nero, through his new wife, Sabina
Poppaea. Nero learned of the separate identity of those Jews who were followers of Jesus, and he
put blame on them for the fire.
It was Constantine the Great whose Edict of Milan in 313 ended the persecution of Christians
and legalized the worship of Jesus Christ. At the same time, Constantine also obstructed Jewish
ascendancy in the Roman Empire.
The Jewish position in Rome began to deteriorate during the reign of Constantine the
Great (306-336), who enacted laws limiting the rights of Jews as citizens... Some of the relevant
decrees in these codes include prohibitions against making proselytes, intermarriage, owning
slaves (slave labor was very common and this prohibition severely restricted the economic life of
the Jews), holding any esteemed position in the Roman state, building new synagogues and
testifying against Orthodox Christians in court. (Jewish Virtual Library)

20

Was there an inverse relationship between the two traditions Judaism and Christianity so
that the expanding influence of one negatively affected the numerical growth of the other? And
can it be that Constantines conversion and outlawing of Jewish operations against the Christians
is the reason this Roman emperor consistently receives bad press from the intellectual
community?
It is difficult to resist the suspicion that Jews, certain of whom held positions in the Roman state
before Constantine, may have been behind the persecution of Christians, accusing them to the
Roman emperors as the Jews accused Paul and Silas to the rulers of Thessalonica, ...these all do
contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. (Acts 17:7) The
issue of allegiance to Jesus Christ as God in preference to Caesar also recalls the charge which
the chief priests and scribes leveled against Jesus Himself when He stood before Pilate: We
found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he
himself is Christ a King. (Luke 23:2)
Having failed to eradicate Christianity by way of extermination, is it possible the Jews then tried
to destroy the Christian faith by other means? In very fact, this was the case, according to
Maurice Pinay:
Gnosisfor rising Christianity was a more threatening internal danger than the grave external
intrigues which were then represented through the frontal attacks of the synagogue and its
intrigues. The latter attained, as we have already observed, that the whole power of the Roman
Empire was applied with its terrible persecutions, as a result of which there were so many
martyrs for Christianity. These facts prove, that from its first beginnings onwards the activity of
the Jewish Fifth Column which had penetrated into its interior, was far more dangerous than
that of external foes. (The Plot Against the Church, p. 268)
Although Constantine restricted Jewish power and influence, the last of his direct descendants to
become Roman Emperor favored the Jewish religion to the extent that he made plans to rebuild
Jerusalem and the Temple of Solomon. The deeds of Julian the Apostate are favorably recorded
by Jewish historians such as H. Graetz, whose History of the Jews was cited by Pinay:
In the year 360 Julian, a cousin of Constantine, was proclaimed Roman Emperor by the army.
Constantine, who had prepared for battle against him, died on the way; this made easier the final
victory for Julian and his proclamation as Emperor of the Orient and Occident. The policy of
Julian had three principle aims: I. To renew the Pagan belief and to again declare it a state
religion of the Empire, so that Rome which according to his view had declined through
Christianity, might return to its old glory. II. To destroy Christianity. III. To concede to Jewry its
old positions, from which it had been expelled by Constantine and his sons; even the rebuilding
of the Temple of Solomon was to be arranged
The famous Jewish historian says of Julian:...that Julian paid great admiration to the Jewish
religion and confirms that the period of government by Julian...was a time of highest fortune for
the Jews of the Roman Empire...
Graetz likewise establishes that Julian called the leader of Jewry in the Empire, the patriarch
Hillel, literally his respected friend, and promised him in a personal letter to make an end of the
misdeeds committed by the Christian Emperors against the Jews. Further, Julian made all
necessary preparations in order to begin the rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem. He addressed
21

a letter to all Jewish congregations of the Empire, in which he spoke in friendly way of the leader
of Jewry in the Empire, the Patriarch Julos (Hillel), as his brother. He promised the abolition of
the high taxes laid upon the Israelites by the Christians, guaranteed that in the future none should
accuse them of blasphemy, promised freedom and security and promised to have Jerusalem
rebuilt at his expense, as soon as he returned victorious from the Persian war. For the rebuilding
of the Temple of Jerusalem Julian commissioned his best friend, Alypius of Antioch, to whom he
gave instructions to spare no expense, and commanded the governors of Palestine and Syria, to
assist with everything necessary... (pp. 285-6)
The death of Julian in 363 A.D. curtailed plans for rebuilding Solomons Temple; however,
the Jewish Virtual Library boasts of a Hebrew revival in Rome in the centuries which followed:
During this period there was a revival of Hebrew studies in Rome, centered around the local
yeshiva, Metivta de Mata Romi. A number of well-known scholars, Rabbi Kalonymus b. Moses
and Rabbi Jacob Gaon and Rabbi Nathan b. Jehil (who wrote a great talmudic dictionary, the
Arukh), contributed to Jewish learning and development. Roman Jewish traditions followed
those practiced in the Land of Israel and the liturgical customs started in Rome spread
throughout Italy and the rest of the world.
ROMAN CATHOLICISM
Did the abovementioned Jewish liturgical customs which started in Rome somehow find their
way into the Church at Rome? Were they little by little incorporated into its worship, which
gradually developed into the Roman Catholic Mass? It may come as a surprise to many
Catholics that the Catholic Encyclopedia officially defines the Catholic liturgy as a carryover
from the Mosaic Law:
...the word liturgy...is used for the public service of the temple...the function of the priests, the
ritual service of the temple... So in Christian use liturgy meant the public official service of the
Church, that corresponded to the official service of the Temple in the Old Law.
After which we find a startling admission, viz., that the Mass was a Christianized synagogue
service conducted by learned elders:
The Eucharist was always celebrated at the end of a service of lessons, psalms, prayers, and
preaching, which was itself merely a continuation of the service of the synagogue. So we have
everywhere this double function; first a synagogue service Christianized, in which the holy
books were read, psalms were sung, prayers said by the bishop in the name of all (the people
answering Amen in Hebrew, as had their Jewish forefathers), and homilies, explanations of
what had been read, were made by the bishop or priests, just as they had been made in the
synagogues by the learned men and elders (e. g., Luke, iv, 16-27)... The likeness between the
prayers of thanksgiving (ix-x) and the Jewish forms for blessing bread and wine on the Sabbath
(given in the Berakoth treatise of the Talmud; cf. Sabatier, La Didache, Paris, 1885, p. 99)
points obviously to derivation from them.
Little wonder that one Jewish convert to Roman Catholicism made the astounding statement that
entering the Catholic Church was not a conversion experience for him, but rather a
22

continuation of Judaism. Roy Schoeman, the author of Salvation is from the Jews, confirms as
well that the Mass is based on the Jewish ceremonial worship and that Catholic theology is based
on the Old Testament!
As a Jew coming to the Catholic Church, it was natural for me to find the relationship
between Judaism and the Catholic Church among the most interesting things in the world. It was
obvious to me that for a Jew to enter the Catholic Church wasnt a matter of conversion at
all, but was rather simply coming into the fullness of Judaism into the form that Judaism took
after the coming of the Jewish Messiah.
Although Catholics are aware of this in principle, they often dont think of the Catholic
Church as the continuation of Judaism after the Messiah... Its everywhere you look. Its
obviously in the Sacrifice of the Mass and the way the Mass is prefigured in Jewish
ceremonial worship. Its in the role that the Old Testament, Jewish Scripture have in
Catholic theology and the structure of the Catholic Faith. [Seattle Catholic]
A listing of parallels between Roman Catholicism and Judaism, which have analogues in the
Eastern Orthodox Church as well, presented us with the startling prospect that Roman
Catholicism may have been a Judaized form of Christianity from its inception. In the list of
traditions below, links to the Catholic Encyclopedia show that the Roman Catholic Church
justifies most of its practices by appealing to the Old Testament. Even in cases where the New
Testament is cited as justification, these practices are not required under the New Covenant but
have their basis in Judaism.
Priesthood (cf. Levitical priesthood/mediators between God and men)
Pope (cf. Jewish High Priest)
College of Cardinals (70) (cf. seventy elders of Moses/Deut.17:8)
Confession of sins to priest for forgiveness (cf. Lev.5:5)
Daily sacrifice of the Mass (cf. Daily burnt offering / Heb.10:11)
Altars for sacrifices
Altar vessels of gold and silver
Vestments for priests
Cardinals skullcap (cf. Jewish yarmulke)
Offertory (cf. Offerings)
Church buildings for worship (cf. Temple)
Liturgy (cf. service of the Temple)
Sunday obligation (cf. Sabbath observance)
Ecclesiastical Feasts (cf. Jewish feasts)
Scapular / Hairshirt (cf. Sackcloth)
Works-based salvation (cf. Mosaic Law)
Sacrament of infant baptism (cf. Rite of Circumcision / Talmud)
Wafer-only Communion (cf. Manna/Shew Bread)
Sacrament of Confirmation (cf. Jewish Bar/Bat Mitzvah)
Burning of candles and incense (cf. Exodus 30)
Holy water font (cf. The Laver / Exodus 40)
No salvation outside the (Catholic) Church (Gentiles must convert to Judaism to be saved)

23

The following Roman Catholic traditions were not part of the Mosaic Law but were adopted by
the Israelites in their apostasy:
Traditions of men (Mark 7:6-13)
Vain repetitions (Lip service (Isa.29:13)
Veneration of saints (Idolatry/pagan gods)
Worship of Mary as Mother of God (Jews worshipped Queen of Heaven / Jer. 44)
Statues/images (images on the walls of Solomons Temple) (Ezek 8:10)
Demotion of Jesus to Co-Redeemer (cf. Jews denial of Jesus as Messiah)
Preoccupation with Christs death rather than resurrection (Jews denial of Jesus resurrection)
The above is only a partial catalog of Jewish traditions found in Roman Catholicism. The
sacerdotal (priesthood) and daily sacrificial systems alone strongly implicate the Roman Catholic
Church as, not only a front for apostate Judaism, but as a vehicle for converting Christians,
without their knowledge, to the very religious system that rejected Jesus Christ.
One commentary compares the Roman Catholic teaching on salvation to that preached in
Judaism:
The Catholic perspective on salvation is largely judaized Christianity. In the days of the
Apostles, many Jewish Christians believed that Christians had to follow all the requirements of
the Mosaic Law, e.g., circumcision, the system of offerings, going to a priest to have sins
forgiven, making sacrifices as atonement for sins, etc. A system that requires some type of
priest to act as an intercessor between the layperson and God is known as a sacerdotal system
(from the Latin word sacerdote, meaning priest.)
In view of the striking parallels between Roman Catholicism and Judaism, it becomes apparent
that Roman Catholicism represents, to a remarkable degree, the triumph of the Judaizers. How
did it happen that the doctrines, rites and traditions of Judaism crept into the Church at Rome?

24

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT

CATHOLIC OR JEWISH?
PART II
CRYPTO-JEWRY
If Judaizers played a major role in the formation and establishment of the Roman Catholic
Church, is it possible that Roman Catholicism was a Jewish project from the beginning? There
is, in fact, a long and fascinating history of Jewish infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church
which has been nonetheless, and by clever design, perceived as a Gentile institution. If Roman
Catholicism was a project of Cabalist Jews for the purpose of subverting Christianity, it is
conceivable that this Judaized Church has functioned for nearly two millennia as a covert branch
of Judaism, whose handlers gradually and imperceptibly shifted Western Christendom to more
advanced stages of apostasy than was possible during the vigilant period of the early Church
when ecumenical councils convened to combat heresy, rather than to embrace it. At the present
time it can be safely stated that the Roman Catholic Church is a merely a front for JudeoFreemasonry to draw apostate Christendom into the messianic kingdom of the Antichrist.
There is also evidence that many of the pseudo-Christian religions were founded by Kabalist
Jews. The founder of Mormonism, another Judaized version of Christianity, was Joseph Smith,
who was a practitioner of Kabala. Smith surrounded himself with 12 apostles of which his
closest colleagues were Jewish Cabalists, Orson Hyde and Alexander Neibaur. Lance Owens
wrote of Neibaurs intimate knowledge of the Cabala and his strong influence on Joseph Smith:
That Neibaur brought a knowledge of Kabbalah to Nauvoo has been mentioned in several
studies of the period. For instance, Newel and Avery note in their biography of Emma Smith,
Through Alexander Neibaur, Joseph Smith had access to ancient Jewish rites called cabalism...
That he not only knew something of Kabbalah, but apparently possessed a collection of original
Jewish Kabbalistic works in Nauvoo, is however documented in material almost totally
overlooked by Mormon historians.
Can anyone familiar with the history and personality of Joseph Smith--the prophet who
restored the secret knowledge and rituals conveyed to Adam, translated the works of Abraham,
Enoch, and Moses, and retranslated Genesis--question that he would have been interested in the
original version of this Jewish occult tradition? And here, in Neibaur, was a man who could share
a version of that knowledge with him. Whatever the reasons for the similarities, it should be
remembered that the Hermetic-Kabbalistic world view parallels Josephs vision of God in many
particulars. Not only might Joseph have been interested in this material, but he would have noted
how similar this sacred, secret tradition was with his own restoration of ancient truth. And
perhaps Neibaur, on a religious quest--from Judaism and Kabbalah, Europe and England, to
Christianity and Mormonism and a new home in Nauvoo--saw or even amplified that intrinsic
sympathy in his explications of the tradition for Joseph.

new home in Nauvoo--saw or even amplified that intrinsic sympathy in his explications of the
tradition for Joseph.
Certainly the first text Joseph Smith would have confronted was the Zohar, the great heart of
the Kabbalah. This is one of the works Neibaur cited repeatedly in his article and, as the central
text of Kabbalah, is the key book any individual with Kabbalistic interests would have preserved
in his library. Familiarity with the Zohar was a given for a Kabbalist, particularly one with
knowledge of works as divergent as those cited by Neibaur, all of which expounded in some
degree upon themes in the Zohar. If Neibaur had read to Joseph from any single text, or
explained Kabbalistic concepts contained in a principal book, the Zohar would have been the
book with which to start. This might explain why in 1844 Smith, in what may be his single
greatest discourse and in the most important public statement of his theosophical vision,
apparently quotes almost word for word from the first section of the Zohar. (Joseph Smith and
Kabbalah: The Occult Connection)
Smiths other Jewish apostle and close
colleague, Orson Hyde, made a trip to Jerusalem in
the 1830s to dedicate the restoration of Israel to the
Jews. According to Ivan P. Barretts Joseph Smith and
the Restoration:
In 1823 only a handful of Jews lived in Palestine,
and those who did had no rights under Turkish rule.
The roots of Zionism in the Jewish communities of
Europe were barely stirring and the thought of Jews
gathering at all was virtually unheard of let alone a
return of the Jews to the Land of Palestine. But from
that very time on, the spiritual stirrings of the Zionist
movement began in earnest. God was about to give to
special keys to modern prophets as he had done with
ancient ones; keys to move the nations.
In 1831, only a year after the Church was
organized by Joseph Smith, another young man with a
prophetic call by the name of Orson Hyde, age 26, of
Jewish ancestry, was confirmed a member of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by the
Prophet Joseph. When Joseph laid his hands on the
head of Orson Hyde he gave him a unique blessing
where in he prophesied the following:
In due time thou shalt go to Jerusalem, the land of
they fathers, and be a watchman unto the House of
Israel; and by thy hands shall the Most High do a
great work, which shall prepare the way and greatly
facilitate the gathering of that People. (Barrett, p.

.
Charles Taze Russell was the founder of Zions Watch Tower magazine in 1879, which evolved
into the Jehovahs Witnesses. Russell was strongly influenced by the teachings of Seventh Day
Adventism, an anti-Trinitarian cult of the Arian school which observes the Jewish Sabbath.
According to the Watchtower Observer, Russell taught that the Jewish people and nation have a
leading role in the Divine Plan for man, and accordingly during the year 1910 he spoke to vast
Jewish audiences, comforting them according to the Scripture, Isa. 40:2 He encouraged
them not to join the various churches of today but to wait for the fulfilment of the many Old
Testament promises that they would be blessed as a nation. While they were yet a scattered and
dispersed people, he said, upon the basis of these promises, that they would be regathered to
Palestine and established as an independent nation. Russell was regarded as a Christian
Zionist, often invited to speak before orthodox Jewish groups In addition, his views on
Zionism have been hailed by the likes of former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu,
and former United Nations Ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick. (CTR: The Truth) Russell also
promoted the Rothschild-funded ecumenical agenda in the Jehovahs Witnesses Watch Tower
magazine:
J. P. Morgan, the Rothschilds representative in the United States, set up a trust fund to unite
various Christian denominations. [Charles Taze] Russell...praises this in his January 1, 1911
[Watch Tower]... Mr. Morgans well-known business capacity, exhibited in connection with
financial trusts, encourages many to believe that he will accomplish the desired end in
connection with the movement. More and more all denominations are craving a religious trust or
federation and are becoming more and more willing to sacrifice doctrines and principles
formerly held dear in order to accomplish the federation. - 215:538
Not content with the destruction of Christianity, the Cabalists have also been busy extinguishing
Torah Judaism. In his 1957 book on the Zionist Movement, titled The Transformation, I. Domb
describes the shattering situation of contemporary Judaism in which ninety-five percent of the
Jewish people have been removed from the way of the Torah. There has been a spread of heresy
in an unparalleled magnitude, in order to avoid any challenge of the process, or perhaps what
might be called the suppression of the faith, lest the process be disturbed. Domb continues to
describe the near extinction of Torah Judaism among world Jewry, a fact of which few Gentiles
are aware:
Some have been completely removed, others still stand on the borderline, and there are
indeed others who from every motive of hatred and malice, seek to destroy all that their fathers
had cherished. Even the small minority, of those who have remained loyal to the observance of
the Torah in practice, has been disturbed in its way of thought, attacked by a flood of distortion,
demoralized, bewildered by errors, falsehoods and slanders.

27

The very small section that remains untouched by all these tendencies is not only small but
helpless. It lacks the means of publicity which are required to defend the genuine Torah point of
view with clear statement widely distributed. The result is that the Jewish reader is deprived of
the opportunity of finding out how the Torah demands that he should regard his plight and his
obligations. He is thus allowed to fall a victim to opposing claims. Particularly is this true of
those Jews whose reading is more or less confined to the English language. To their ears fail to
find their way even the feeble protests that are made from time to time, from somewhere on the
other side. (The Transformation, Preface)
It is understandable how Cabalist Jews could subvert the faith of their Jewish brethren, but how
is such deception on a grand scale possible? Jews who apostatized from the God of Israel and the
Torah into pagan worship of strange gods set about to destroy the monotheistic faiths of Torah
Judaism, Christianity and even Islam, about which more will be said later. These Cabalists were
guided by evil spirits and equipped with supernatural powers, by means of the magical arts they
studied, to infiltrate and take control of the Gentile institutions. This modus operandi was
described by Edith Starr Miller:
The obligations and rules of the rite for the Jewish masses are contained in
the Talmud and Schulchan Aruk, but the esoteric teachings of the higher initiates are to be found
in the Cabala. Therein are contained the mysterious rites for evocations, the indications and keys
to practices for conjuration of supernatural forces, the science of numbers, astrology, etc.
The practical application of the Cabalist knowledge is manifested in the use made of it,
through the ages, by Jews to gain influence both in the higher spheres of Gentile life and over the
masses. Sovereigns and Popes, both, usually had one or more Jews as astrologers and advisers,
and they frequently gave Jews control over their very life by employing them as physicians.
Political power was thus gained by Jews in almost every Gentile country alongside with financial
power, since Jewish court-bankers manipulated state funds and taxes.
Through the ages also, can be followed the spreading power of the sect, and no more awful
example of the devastating and destructive power of the penetration of a secret subversive
society has ever been witnessed.
With its Bnai Brith Supreme Council as the directing head, the sect with its members
swarming among all nations has become the sovereign power ruling in the councils of all nations
and governing their political, economic, religious and educational policies. (Occult Theocrasy,
p. 76)
During the Middle Ages, the infiltration and conquest of Christendom was achieved by two
methods. The Inquisition, which started in Spain in 1478, forced multitudes of Jews to renounce
Judaism and to embrace Catholicism; these converts were called Conversos. Conversos
typically went through the motions of the Roman Catholic religion, but remained Jews inwardly
and practiced their Jewish rites in the privacy of their homes.
Other Jews, called Marranos (swine), feigned conversion to Christianity and practiced Roman
Catholicism outwardly, while practicing Judaism, or Cabalism, privately. A number of Marranos
took positions in the clergy. The motive of Conversos was self-preservation; the Marranos,
destruction of the Church and all things Christian. The result of these parallel operations was the
Jewish occupation of the Roman Catholic Church and its transformation into MYSTERY

28

BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE

EARTH. The King James translation of Revelation 17 describes MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT as the great whore and that great city which sits upon seven mountains (v.9).
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying
unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon
many waters... So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit
upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
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... The seven heads are seven mountains, on
which the woman sitteth... And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues... And the woman which
thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
In this passage, the word mystery identifies this entity as a mystery religion. Babylon the
Great locates the origin of this mystery religion in ancient Babylon. That great city which sits
upon seven mountains pinpoints the location of the Great Whore in Rome, which is known
historically as the City on Seven Hills. The only religious system that presently answers to
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT as described in Revelation 17 is the Roman Catholic
Church.
Since the Reformation, volumes have been written concerning the enormities of the Catholic
Church the centuries of the Inquisition with its tortures and bloodshed, wars of conquest and
genocide, the promulgation of false doctrines and pagan traditions, sexual perversion and abuse
within the clergy, not to mention the vast wealth of the Vatican, which has extorted money from
widows and orphans to subsidize the lavish lifestyles of the popes and their papal courts, all of
whom live like royalty whilst multitudes of their subjects dwell in abject poverty. Yet by far the
worst abuse of the Roman Whore has been its distortion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and
withholding the Word of God from peoples, and multitudes, and nations many of whom will
therefore spend eternity in Hell.
The scandalous deeds of the Great Whore are well-documented facts of history. What is less well
understood is how the Babylonian mysteries found their way into the Church of Rome, thereby
meriting Gods assessment as MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. This report hopes to
demonstrate that the real history of the Roman Catholic Church differs appreciably from the
official fabrication circulated by the ubiquitous propaganda mills, which are under the direction
of the Jewish power elite. As I. Domb wrote, Those who possess the financial means can
through their effective disposal, almost completely predominate over everything and everybody.
Evidence of infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church by great masses of European Jewry is
found in numerous independent sources, of which we shall consider a few starting with portions
of The Plot Against the Church. Typical of Catholic anti-Judaism, the authors fulminate against

29

Jewish infiltration of the Church, but seem blind to the fact that Holy Catholic Church was a
Judaized form of Christianity from its inception.
The lasting victory of the Jewish-Freemasonic and Jewish Communist revolution since the
end of the 18th century up to our days isto be attributed to that neither the Holy Catholic
Church nor the separated Churches have fought effectively against the Jewish Fifth Column,
which has smuggled itself into their bosom.
This Fifth column is formed by the descendants of the Jews who in earlier centuries were
converted to Christianity and seemingly held in enthusiastic manner to the religion of Christ,
while in secret they preserved their Jewish belief and carried out clandestinely the Jewish rites
and ceremonies. For this purpose they organized themselves into communities and secret
synagogues, which were active centuries-long in secret. These apparent Christians, but secret
Jews, began centuries ago to infiltrate the Christian society, in order to attempt to control it from
within. For this reason they sowed false doctrine and differences of opinion and even attempted
to gain control of the clergy in the different churches of Christ. With all this, they applied the
cunning of introducing crypto-Jewish Christians into the seminaries of the priesthood, who could
gain admission into the honorary offices in the Holy Catholic Church and then into the dissident
churches, upon whose division these secret Jews had so much influence. (The Plot Against the
Church, pp. 235-36)
The priests have alluded to a dialectical operation conducted by crypto-Jews, who sowed false
doctrine and differences of opinion in the Church by introducing heresies. These movements
were often highly Judaized, Gnostic movements.
In the Middle Ages, the Popes and Councils were successful in destroying the Jewish
revolutionary movements which appeared within Christianity in the form of false teaching and
which were introduced by seeming Christians but by Jews in secret. The latter then recruited
upright and good Christians for the arising heretical movement by persuading the latter in a
crafty way.
The secret Jews organized and controlled in secret manner the movements, which were the
creative and driving-force of wicked false teachings, such as those of the Catarensers, of the
Patarines, of the Albignensians, of the Hussites, of the Illuminati and others. (The Plot
Against the Church, p.236)
Crypto-Jews also gained entrance to the highest offices of the Roman Church without being
detected, as well as the political and economic institutions of Western Europe.
The work of these Jews smuggled as Fifth Column into the bosom of the Church of Christ
was made easier through the hypocritical conversion to Christianity or that of their forefathers. In
addition, they laid aside their Jewish surnames and took on very Christian names, which were
embellished with the surnames of their godfathers. Thus they were successful in mixing with the
Christian society and taking possession of the names of the leading families of France, Italy,
England, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland and the other lands of Christian Europe. With this
system, they were successful in penetrating into the bosom of Christianity itself, in order to
destroy it from within and to destroy the core of the religious, political and economic
institutions

30

However, what called forth most scandal was the fact, that these secret Jews introduced
their sons into the established clergy and monasteries, and in fact with such good result that
many of them attained the dignity of abbot, bishop and other leading personages. (The Plot
Against the Church, p.237)
Jewish supremacy over the Gentiles was a direct result of the Cabalists infiltration of the
Papacy, as well as the nobility of Europe. However, the Catholic priests do greatly err when they
state: Holy Church, every time an heretical or estranged bishop or cardinal or a false pope
appeared, regarded it as unavoidable to unmask them publicly, in order to prevent them dragging
the faithful into further misfortune. (Pinay. p. 253)
THE MEROVINGIANS
To corroborate the Jewish infiltration of the Roman Church, the famous Jewish historian, Cecil
Roth (1925-70), was cited by M. Pinay. Dr. Roth was editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia Judaica
and his volume, History of the Marranos, specifically dealt with the phenomenon of cryptoJewry in medieval Europe.
In order to prove a part of the facts which were mentioned in the preceding chapter, we fall
back upon the evidence of the contemporary Jewish historian, who is very authoritative in his
material, the careful and painfully exact Cecil Roth. The latter is rightly recognised in Israelite
circles as the most outstanding contemporary Jewish historical writer, above all upon material of
crypto-Jewry.
In his famed work History of the Marranos, Cecil Roth gives very interesting details, of
how the Jews, thanks to their equally skilled false conversion, entered Christianity and appeared
publicly as Christians, however, secretly held to their Jewish religion. He also shows us, how this
secret belief was passed on by parents to children, covered with the appearance of an outward
Christian militancy...:
...The Church admittedly disapproved of compulsory conversion. Baptisms, which were
undertaken under such conditions, were regarded as invalid. Pope Gregory the Great (590-604)
repeatedly condemned them, although he gladly received in a friendly and heartfelt way those
who were attracted with other means. The greatest part of his successors followed his example.
Nevertheless heed was not always paid to the Papal ban. It was naturally admitted, that
compulsory conversion was not Canonic. In order to circumvent it, the Jews were threatened
with expulsion or death, and they were given to understand that they would save themselves
through baptism. It occurred at times, that the Jews subjected themselves to a hard necessity. In
such cases their acceptance of Christianity was regarded as spontaneous. In this manner, a
compulsory mass conversion took place in Mahom, Minorca (418) under the Protectorate of
Bishop Severo. A similar episode took place in Clermont (Auvergne)in the year 576; and in
spite of the disapproval of Gregory the Great the example spread into different places in France.
In the year 629 King Dagobert commanded all Jews of the land to accept baptism under threat of
banishment. The measure was imitated a little later in Lombardy.
after the Jews had been driven out of the south of France, some proud ancestral families,
as a result of rumors, carried on Judaism in their homes as residue of the blood of those Jews
who preferred to remain as public and confessing Catholics.

31

...Towards the end of the XIIIth century the Anjou, who ruled Naples, introduced a general
conversion of Jews in their neighbourhood of the city of Trani. Under the name new-converts
(neophytes) the proselytes continued to live for three hundred years as crypto-Jews. Their secret
loyalty to Judaism was one of the motives for which reason the Inquisition became active in
Naples in the 16th century Some escaped to the Balkans, where they joined themselves with
the existing Jewish communities. Their descendants in south Italy still preserve some vague
memories of Judaism up to the present day.
This phenomenon in no way remained restricted to the Christian world. In various parts of
the Mohammedan world ancient communities of crypt-Jews are found. The Daggatun of the
Sahara continued to practice the Jewish belief for a long time after their formal conversion to
Islam, and their present sons have still not completely forgotten it. The Donmeh of Salonica
originate from the adherents of the pseudo-Messiah Sabbetai Zevi, whom they followed in his
rebellion. Even if they were in public complete Muselmen, they practiced at home a Messianic
Judaism. Further to the east there are still other examples
In fact the classical land of crypto-Jewry is Spain. Tradition there has been durable and
universal to such an extent that one must raise the suspicion that a Marranian receptivity is
present in the atmosphere of the land itself. Even at the time of the Romans the Jews were
numerous and influential. Many of them asserted that they were descended from the aristocracy
of Jerusalem, who had been deported by Titus or by earlier conquerors into banishment.
(History of the Marranos, pp.236, 240-43)
In the year 629 King Dagobert commanded all Jews of the land to accept baptism under threat
of banishment. What Cecil Roth fails to disclose is that King Dagobert was himself a
Merovingian Jew. As the learned editor of the Encyclopedia Judaica, surely Dr. Roth knew this
important fact and much more about the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled France, which
dominated Europe, from the 5th to the 8th centuries. Moreover, in this excerpt from Cecil Roth's
volume on the Marranos, brief mention is made that the Anjou, who ruled Naples, introduced a
general conversion of Jews, while neglecting to state that the House of Anjou were among the
most powerful Jewish Merovingian bloodlines which masterminded and funded the Crusades as
well as the Renaissance.
Cecil Roth not only omitted to inform his readers of the Jewish ethnicity of these medieval
power elites, or even to mention the Merovingian branch of European Jewry, the renowned
Jewish historian made the following astonishing statement in another work, The Dark Ages.
Jews in Christian Europe 7111096, which is Vol.11 of The World History of the Jewish People:
It seemed that they (the Jews) totally disappeared together with the breakdown of the Roman
Empire. However, we dont find any evidence of their presence until the Carolingian period... Of
course we know from inscriptions and other sources about Jewish societies and single persons in
nearly all provinces of the Roman Empire, and we can reasonably suppose with or without
proof that there is in fact no district without Jews. (The Dark Ages. Jews in Christian
Europe, London, 1966, pp. 162, 4)
Why would Dr. Roth attempt to conceal the real history of European Jewry from approximately
500-800 A.D.? He acknowledges their presence but has nothing to say of their business, which
was governing Europe! The reason will become obvious. The Merovingians became the royalty

32

of Europe, having claimed Jewish descent from King David, King Solomon and, posturing as
Christians, from Jesus Christ through Mary Magdalene! Starting with the first Merovingian king
of France, Clovis I, who converted to Christianity in 496 A.D. along with his Jewish household
and 3,000 of his Jewish warriors, these Jewish monarchs promulgated a heretical version of the
gospel. The Merovingian heresy, which is today being reintroduced to through books such
as The DaVinci Code (a revival Dr. Roth must have anticipated) goes like this:
Mary Magdalen has been a critical figure in our story. The evidence strongly suggests she
escaped Israel with the bloodline of Jesus, the heir apparent of the king of the Jews, and the issue
of a royal marriage which combined the royal lines of the tribes of Judaea and Benjamina
merging as well of a patriarchal Judaism and those Jews still honoring the mother
Goddess. She may have also been carrying the true royal bloodthe Star Fire, or
the ORME being manufactured by the Essenes for their chosen leaders.
Finding her way to Gaulwhere established Jewish communities already existedthe
Magdalen...found refuge for her and her treasures. The bloodline...perpetuated itself, intact and
incognito, for some four hundred years...including dynastic intermarriages not only with other
Jewish families but with Romans and Visigoths as well. And...in the fifth century Jesus lineage
became allied with the royal line of the Franks, thereby engendering the Merovingian dynasty.
This would explain the sacred status accorded the Merovingians, the legendary birth of
Meroveechild of two fathers, one of them a symbolic marine creature from beyond the sea, a
marine creature which, like Jesus, might be equated with a mystical fishThe Fisher King.
(Library of Halexandria)
Another Jewish historian, H. Graetz, recorded in History of the Jews a similar forced conversion
by Clovis father-in-law, Chilperich (523-584 AD), who ruled over Burgundy in the Frankish
Kingdom:
Although King Chilperich was not very favorable to the Catholic clergy, he...also forced the
Jews in his kingdom to be baptised, and he personally went to the baptismal font as Pater of the
newly-converted. However, he was satisfied with the mere appearance of conversions, and he
was not hostile to the Jews, when they continued to celebrate the Sabbath and followed the
Jewish Laws. (The Plot Against the Church, p. 415)
King Dagobert I, the great-great-grandson of Clovis I, followed in his ancestors footsteps by
compelling the conversion of Jews in 629 A.D., as recorded by the historian Roth. By forcing
Jews to convert, Dagobert set a precedent for future contravention of a ban by Gregory the Great,
himself a Merovingian who, as pope, overtly condemned the forced conversion of Jews but
failed to enforce the papal ban.
The Church admittedly disapproved of compulsory conversion... Pope Gregory the Great
(590-604) repeatedly condemned them... Nevertheless heed was not always paid to the Papal
ban... In order to circumvent it, the Jews were threatened with expulsion or death, and they were
given to understand that they would save themselves through baptism...
In the year 629 King Dagobert commanded all Jews of the land to accept baptism under
threat of banishment...

Towards the end of the XIIIth century the Anjou, who ruled Naples, introduced a general
conversion of Jews...
...Many of them asserted that they were descended from the aristocracy of Jerusalem, who
had been deported by Titus or by earlier conquerors into banishment. (Cecil Roth, as cited
in The Plot Against the Church)
The irony of this charade is that the popes who condemned forced conversions to Christianity,
such as Gregory I, and the rulers who compelled the Jews to convert, such as Dagobert and the
House of Anjou, were all Merovingian Jews! The foreseeable consequence of coercing whole
populations of Jews to convert to Christianity was massive infiltration of the Roman Catholic
Church by European Jewry.
It was from a Catholic expose of the Merovingians titled The Merovingian Infiltration of the
Christian World Through Monasticism that we learned that Pope Gregory the Great (540-604
AD), who issued the phony papal ban against compulsory conversions, was a Merovingian:
Sept. 3 became a day of victory for the Red Movement when he was installed as their pope, for
Gregory marks the history of the papacy in that he was the very first MONK to become a
pope. Accordingly, when Phocus, a cruel military usurper, murdered Emperor Maurice and his
entire family in the most brutal fashion, Gregory sent a letter to Phocus expressing hopes that
peace was now restored, a letter which served as criticism of him while he lived; another, his
wasting of the entire treasury of the church, as waged against him at death. Butlers comment
that the Mary Magdalene story was received in the West following Gregory the Great now
makes sense, since she is central to the Merovingian heresy.
It was Pope Gregory the Great who conflated Mary Magdalene and Mary, the sister of Martha
and Lazarus, into one person. In 591 A.D., Gregory declared in a sermon, She whom Luke calls
the sinful woman, whom John calls Mary [of Bethany], we believe to be the Mary from whom
seven devils were ejected according to Mark. It then became the official teaching of the
Catholic Church that this Mary, was also the prostitute who washed the feet of Jesus in Luke
7:36-50. Merging the identities of the women who followed Jesus provided theological support
for the Merovingian fabrication of the legendary wife of Jesus.
The Jewish historian Roth would have the world believe that the medieval Jews were quietly
minding their own business from 500-800 A.D. whilst, in fact, they were managing the affairs of
state from the thrones of Europe and the Papacy! Michael Bradley wrote of their acquired
nobility in Holy Grail Across the Atlantic:
There was a very great Jewish component among the Sicambrian Franks/Merovingians and,
because they practiced polygamy (another Merovingian peculiarity) they left a great number of
offspring. These aristocratic Merovingian children married into almost all of the noble families
of Europe during the 5th, 6th, and 7th centuries. This has prompted more than one historian to
suggest that the foundation of European nobility is Jewish! (p.180)
M. Pinay observed, This vanishing act on the part of Jewry, in order to remain hidden from the
eyes of history to use this fortunately chosen expression of Graetzs was always the most

34

dangerous thing in the affair, since they grew from a visible Fifth Column into a secret force, an
invisible power, which is more difficult to combat as such. (p.414)
In 679 A.D., the Carolingians, a rival dynasty, arranged for the assassination of Dagobert II
(grandson of Dagobert I) and his son, Sigisbert IV. The Merovingians, however, claim that
documents discovered in France testify to the continuation of their lineage in the person of
Sigisbert who, they happily report, survived the assassination attempt:
The Merovingian dynasty continued formally with Thierry IV and Childric III who was
removed in 751 and this was the end of the dynasty. According to the parchment found by
Saunire, and this could be true according to some historians, Sigebert IV escaped and arrived in
the Razes on the 17 of January 681 where he took refuge with his grand father. Dagobert II had
as a second wife Gisle, the daughter of Bra II the count of Razs. The Merovingian line
included, after Sigebert IV (676-758) also known as the Plant-Ard - from whom Mr Plantard
took his name!-: Sigebert V (695-768), Bera III (715-771), Guillemon, Bera IV (755-836), Bera
V (794-860), Hildric I and finally Sigebert VI known as Ursus. (Official International
Knights Templar Website) [website no longer available]
In 750 A.D., a document titled The Donation of Constantine was discovered which proclaimed
that the Pope was Christs elected representative on Earth with the power to create kings as his
subordinates. (Keep in mind that the Merovingians now controlled the papacy.) In 751, the
provisions of this document, supposedly signed by Constantine, were put into effect by the
Vatican, and the pope gave permission to Pepin III, the Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia, to take
the Frankish crown from Dagoberts nephew, Childeric III. Pepin became the first Carolingian
King of the Franks and was succeeded in 768 by his sons Carloman and Charles I who was later
called Charlemagne. The Merovingian dynasty was terminated in 800 A.D. with the papal
coronation of Charlemagne, who became the Holy Roman Emperor.
This would appear to be a coup detat removing the Merovingians from power. However,
according to Margaret Starbird, author of The Woman with the Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalene
and the Holy Grail, ...to consolidate his claim to the throne of the Franks, Charlemagne had
himself married a Merovingian princess. (Bear & Co. 1993) It is indicative of the stranglehold
which the Merovingian Jews had on Europe, that Charlemagne and his Carolingian successors
married Merovingian wives to guarantee the continuation of their dynasty. The anonymous
author of The Merovingian Infiltration of the Christian World Through Monasticism also notes
that the Carolingians not only took measures to legitimize themselves as Holy Roman Emperors
by taking Merovingian wives, but also claiming descent from Jesus Christ!
In the [8th] century the Merovingian Dynasty of France was overthrown by the mayors of the
Merovingian Palaces, the Carolingians (741). But Carolingians were also a major part of the
JesusMagdalene heresy... They took Merovingian wives to assure that the heretical divine
bloodline was preserved twofold. The Carolingian empire became the unholy Holy Roman
Empire under Charlemagne who became the first Emperor, a huge coup.
MOUNT SION

35

Dagoberts Revenge is the magazine of the Ordo Lapsit Exillis which is dedicated to the
restoration of the Merovingian dynasty for world government.
The title Dagoberts Revenge signifies not just the vengeance sought by the Merovingians
against the Catholic church which betrayed them, but also, in a broader sense, the struggle of all
members of the ancient bloodline of the Holy Grail (which goes back, we believe, to the
beginnings of civilization), the only bearers of true God-ordained sovereignty, against the forces
which, in every age, have attempted to wrest power away from the bloodline merely for the
purpose of domination.
The Ordo Lapsit Exillis claims to be an invisible college dedicated to the recovery of the Stone
that fell from Heaven, called by our ancestors the Grail. OLEs explanation of the Grail
should give the reader a clue as to the true origins of the Merovingians.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the
ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be
like the most High. (Isaiah 14:12-14)
Clearly, the Jesus-Mary Magdalene heresy is a subterfuge, for Merovingian claims to divinity
point to lineage from another source altogether. The progenitors of the ancient bloodline of the
Holy Grail which goes back to the beginnings of civilization were the fallen angels who mated
with human women, per Genesis 6:1,2: And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of
men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
According to a Hebrew resource for Navigating the Bible, the sons of God were the
Titans. Nefilim in Hebrew, literally fallen ones. They were called this because they were the
sons of the fallen angels (Targum Yonathan). This demonic ancestry of the Merovingians is
explicitly stated on Dagoberts Revenge in Edouard de Legionnaires essay, The Biological
Basis of Elitism and Divine Right Rule:
The all-important element of the Divine Right is that it comes from God, or the gods,
alternately. And who were these gods? Authors such as Zecharia Sitchin, Sir Laurence Gardner
and Nicholas de Vere are authoritatively convinced that kingship was created by an advanced
race of beings called the Annunaki, also called the Nephilim in the Old Testament. These were
the ones who created the human race and interbred with a portion of it to create the kingly caste
which until this day has still maintained control over the Earth. These celestial creatures have
been variously identified with Dragons, Elves, Fairies, Gnomes, Leprechauns, Sprites, Nymphs,
Pixies, Angels, Demons, Devils, Witches, Giants, Vampires, Werewolves, and just about every
mythical being you can imagine. Some, like Gardner and Sitchin, claim that they come from
another planet. Others, like de Vere, say that theyre multi-dimensional, or that theyre from
theHollow Earth. (323)

36

According to The Book of Enoch the Prophet as translated by Richard Laurence, The Nephilim
are described as descending from Mount Hermon.
And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them [handsome and beautiful daughters] and
desired them... And they were altogether two hundred; and they descended into Ardos, which is
the summit of Hermon. And they called the mount Armon, for they swore and bound one another
by a curse. 251:15 [I Enoch VI.6, vs.1-5]
As recounted in the Dead Sea Scrolls: .....In the days of Jared, two hundred Watchers
descended on Ardis, the summit of Mount Hermon - a mythical location equated with the
triple peak of Jebel esh Sheikh (9,200 feet), placed in the most northerly region of ancient
Palestine. (The Watchers)
The Dead Sea Scrolls include the earliest version of the Book of Enoch, which was rejected for
the canon of Scripture. The Scrolls were authored by the monastic Essene community of
Qumran, believed to be the apostate Tribe of Dan which inherited the pre-flood paganism, Baal
worship, of the Canaanites. The location of the Nephilims descentMount Hermon, also called
Mount Sionis in the territory of Dan, formerly the land of the Canaanites, in northern Israel.
According to the Atlas of the Bible Lands, Part of the tribe of Dan, unable to secure its
inheritance, migrated north and captured Laish, renaming it Dan. ( p.8)
And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan
went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and
possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. This
is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with
their villages. Joshua 19:47-48
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto
Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first. Judges 18:29
The northern area of Palestine at Mt. Hermon happens to be located at the 33, both latitude and
longitude, according to the Paris Zero Meridian (used before the Greenwich International Zero
Meridian was established in 1884).
St Sulpice (d. c.647). This contemporary of St Dagobert also has his feast day on 17 January.
He was the second Bishop of Bourges, which is on the zero meridian of Paris, like Rennes-lesBains, and was successful in converting all the Jews of his diocese. He was the protege of the
goldsmith of St Eloi, Grand Vizier of Dagobert I. The famous seminary and church dedicated to
him in Paris contains the obelisk with the copper line down the centre marking the exact point of
the meridian. St Sulpice, in the grounds of St Germain-des-Pres (qv), had connections with the
Prieure from its foundation in 1642. [Ean Begg, The Cult of the Black Virgin, Arkana, 1985,
p.110.]
The Zero Meridian is the 33rd degree longitude.
MONASTICISM

37

We suspected for some time that monasteries were often fronts for occult as well as homosexual
activity. The Merovingian Infiltration of the Christian World Through Monasticism confirmed
our suspicions that many Catholic religious communities were steeped in Gnostic occultism (
la Anne Catherine Emmerich) and that these Gnostic cults were points of entry for the
Merovingians to accede to the Papacy. St. Gregory the Great was the first of fifty Benedictine

monks who would become the pope:

The Merovingian Franks (450-741) built monasteries as a means of infiltration...for
Merovingian monasteries later became Benedictine/ Cistercians... Pope Gregory the Great
promoted Benedictine monasticism. His feast day is the day he became pope, September 3 [590
AD]. This was accomplished by the infiltration of the Church, for Gregory was part of that
infiltration. Sept. 3 became a day of victory for the Red Movement when he was installed as their
pope, for Gregory marks the history of the papacy in that he was the very first MONK to
become a pope.
The origins of monasticism are to be found in Egypt. Hermes Trismegistus, the Greek NeoPlatonist name for the Egyptian god, Thoth, was the founder of alchemy and geometry [29:245]
and the prototype of the hermit. In the philosophy of Plato and the Neoplatonists, spirituality
increased in relation to contempt for earthly values. Christian eremitical beliefs were borrowed
from the Jewish eremitical Essenes and Therapeutae. Philo of the Therapeutae taught Pantaneus,
who founded the Alexandrian Catechetical School where he trained Clement, who became his
successor in 180 A.D. Clement, in turn, trained Origen, who succeeded him as director of the
Catechetical School in 202 A.D. The famous Egyptian hermit, St. Anthony the Great (251-356
AD), was the founder of Eastern monasticism and mystery religions schools, as well as the most
influential figure in the development of pre-Benedictine monasticism. In the 4th century,
monasticism was transported to Europe by St. Athanasius (296-373 AD), the Bishop of
Alexandria, who was profoundly influenced by St. Antony.
Antony of Egypt (251-356): ascetic Brother of the sun-god and founder of Eastern
monasticism. Demons permeate his legend. He passed one of his sheepskin cloaks to Athanasius,
spiritual head of desert hermits and Ethiopia, Bishop of Alexandria, father of Orthodoxy.
Athanasius had likewise given his cloak to Antony and subsequently wrote Antonys biography,
just as Gregory later wrote that of Benedict. Antonys feast day, Jan.17, would become sacred to
the Merovingians and their Sion Organization, which convents were historically convened Jan.17
in honor of Antonys success at infiltrating the Christian world. Antonys remains would come to
rest in Vienne France It was Athanasius who introduced monasticism to the Romans and
Germans
The rule of St. Columbanus and of Benedict in Europe were developed into major monastic
communities by the Merovingians who provided not only the monasteries themselves, but
charters granting them complete exemption from episcopal and secular intervention, making
them fully and completely autonomous. Merovingians of ancient Egypt had thus assured the
continuity of Egyptian error. Gibbons hits the nail on the head when he writes, Swarms of
monks arose from the Nile, overspread and darkened the Christian world. Saints Who History
Made p. 82

38

Athanasius is known as the Father of orthodoxy and the theological center of the Nicene age
(Schaff). As the famous opponent of the Arian heresy, Athanasius valiantly defended the divinity
of Jesus Christ. However, he also taught that the Incarnation of the Word divinized human
flesh, making it possible for men to become gods. God became man that men might become
gods, wrote Athanasius. Arianism was condemned and Arius, a Jew, was excommunicated at the
Council of Nicea in 321 A.D. Although Athanasius led the bishops to contend for the faith as to
the person of Jesus Christ, it was at this ecumenical council that celibacy became a requirement
for Christian leaders, as stated in the Catholic Encyclopedia. Other traditions of the Roman
Catholic Church were adopted from Egyptian monasticism under the leadership of Athanasius,
such as the following mentioned in David Brakes book, Athanasius and Asceticism:
1. Virgins
o
Regarded exclusively as the Bride of Christ [597: 11]
o
Deification of virgins led to the Blessed Virgin Mary [597::17, 77]
o
Virgin Mary was the model for virgins [597:54, 70]
o
Convents established [597:24,27]
o
Vow of Silence [597:72-3]
o
Formal vow of celibacy [597:14]
o
Inheritances given to the Roman Church [597:33]
o
Changed the name given by parents [597:41]
o
Pilgrimages to Holy Land; venerated sacred sites and mystical caves [597:36,38]
o
Adopted Greek/Latin ideal: wives silent, submissive [597:75]
o
Bishops/priests were earthly representatives of virgins Heavenly Bridegroom
2. Monks
o
Appointed as bishops [597:12,99]
o
Established monastic communities as part of Church under authority of bishops [597:86]
o
Status/title of father/ abbas [597:84]; Abbas received visions/revelations inspired by God
o
Pre-incarnation virgins Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, John the Baptist [597:55]
3. Parish churches [597:12]
4. Sacraments [597:12]
5. Imitation of Saints [597:12]
6. Lent/ascetic program [597:13]
7. Priesthood [597:14]
8. Easter celebration [597:40]
9. Martyr shrines [597:100]
10. Salvation by works [597:55-6]
It is conceivable that the Council of Nicea, subsequent ecumenical councils, and the
controversies leading to them were part of the dialectical process to remove Christianity off its
Scriptural base. Introduce a heresy (antithesis) to challenge a Biblical truth (thesis) and stage an
ecumenical council (synthesis) to bring in another heresy. The Nestorian controversy revolved
around the issue of whether Mary was the Mother of God (Theotokos) or the Mother of
Christ (Christotokos) as stated by Nestorius. At the Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D., Nestorius
was condemned and Mary was declared to be the Mother of God. Of interest, Ephesus was a
center of goddess-worship where the Essenes had established their school.

THE PRIEUR DE SION

In 1070 A.D., a group of monks from Calabria, the southernmost region of Italy, relocated to
France to territory owned by one Godfroi de Vere de Bouillon, of the House of Vere, senior
branch of the House of Anjou. (Recall Cecil Roths statement that the Anjou who ruled Naples in
the 13th century compelled the conversion of Jews to Roman Catholicism.) The Calabrian
monks, who called themselves the Ordre de Sion, were given a tract of land owned by St.
Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the Cistercian Order and author of the Rule of the Knights
Templar. St. Bernard was of the Merovingian line of Champagne, which funded the Cistercians.
The Prieur documents imply that...an abbey existed by 1100 and housed an order of
the...name [Ordre de Sion] which may have been formed earlier... It is known that in 1070,
twenty-nine years before the First Crusade, a specific band of monks from Calabria in southern
Italy arrived in the vicinity of the Ardennes Forrest, part of Godfroi de Bouillons domains.
According to Grard de Sde this band of monks was led by an individual called Ursusa name
the Prieur documents consistently associate with the Merovingian bloodline... [A]t Orval, not
far from Stenay, where Dagobert II had been assassinated some five hundred years earlier...an
abbey was established to house the monks... By 1108 they had mysteriously disappeared... Orval,
by 1131, had become one of the fiefs owned by Saint Bernard... (pp.13)
It is noteworthy that Calabria would also be the home of Joachim of Fiore (c.1135-1202), another
Cistercian monk and heretic who predicted a future era of the Holy Spirit which would be
marked by increased spiritual intelligence and a new religious order which would convert both
Jews and Gentiles to Christianity: William Gentz stated in The Dictionary of Bible and Religion,
Ushered in by monastics, the Age of the Spirit would bring the conversion of the Jews and
Gentiles, union of the Greek and Roman churches, overthrow of Antichrist and inauguration of
the Sabbath of God. (p.530) Joachim envisioned a third age when the world would be one vast
monastery, in which all men would be contemplative monks rapt in mystical ecstasy and united
in singing the praises of God. (Norman Cohn, Pursuit of the Millennium, pp. 108-9)
According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, the Ordre de Sion of the Calabrian monks became the
Prieur de Sion and this society had its origins in the Alexandrian Society of Ormus. Prieur is
the French form of priory which is a monastery or religious house presided over by a prior or
prioress; sometimes an offshoot of, and subordinate to, an abbey (Webster):
In 1188 the Ordre de Sion is...said to have modified its name, adopting the one which has
allegedly obtained to the presentthe Prieur de Sion. As a kind of subtitle it is said to have
adopted the curious name Ormus.
According to Masonic teachings, Ormus was the name of an Egyptian sage and mystic, a
Gnostic adept of Alexandria In A.D. 46 he and six of his followers were supposedly
converted to a form of Christianity by one of Jesus disciples, Saint Mark in most accounts. From
this conversion a new sect or order is said to have been born, which fused the tenets of
Christianity with the teachings of other, even older mystery schools
According to Masonic tradition, in A.D. 46 Ormus is said to have conferred on his newly
constituted order of initiates a specific identifying symbola red or a rose cross in [the]
Prieur documentsOne is intended to see in Ormus the origins of the so-called Rose-Croix,

40

or Rosicrucians. And in 1188 the Prieur de Sion is said to have adopted a second subtitle in
addition to Ormus. It is said to have called itself LOrdre de la Rose-Croix Veritas... (Holy
Blood, Holy Grail, pp. 122-3)
It was established in Part I that the Society of Ormus was founded circa 96 B.C. in Alexandria by
Jewish monks. According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail and various other New Age sources, the
Prieur de Sion is the high cabal of the Order of the Rose Croix in Europe. The origins of the
Prieur de Sion in the monastic Society of Ormus are also documented in Michael
Howards Occult Conspiracy:
The foundation of the Priory can be traced back allegedly to the gnostic adept Ormus who lived
in the first century C.E.... He formed a secret society which united esoteric Christianity with the
teachings of the pagan mystery schools. Ormus adopted as his symbol a cross surmounted by
a rose to signify the synthesis of the new and old religions. ...Ormus, the legendary first century
founder of the secret society which became the Priory of Sion lived in Alexandria. (Occult
Conspiracy, pp.31, 142)
Recently there has been an elaborate attempt to conceal the antiquity of the Prieur de Sion
which is revealed in New Age books to be the august body that oversees all other secret societies
from its headquarters in Paris. For obvious reasons, this information was not intended to reach
the Christian community which is slated for boat loads of disinformation instead. The occult
underground, by virtue of the fact that occultists read New Age books, were alone meant to be
privy to the existence of the Prieur de Sion and to the nature of its mission. It may never have
occurred to the conspirators that Christians might read New Age books and, equipped with
knowledge of Bible prophecy, be able to assemble the pieces of end-time puzzle.
This unforeseen exposure of the Prieur de Sion as the high cabal of secret societieswhose
Grand Master will be the Antichristhas occasioned a number of damage control measures,
from Paul Smithswebsite debunking the late Grand Master, Pierre Plantard, as a nobody with
delusions of grandeur, to a spate of Christian books which pretend to expose The Da Vinci
Code. This popular novel goes into some detail about the Priory of Zion, its medieval history and
continuation as the present day Prieur de Sion in Paris, as well as extolling the pedigree of the
Plantard de Saint-Claire bloodline. The so-called Christian apologetics resources which feign
exposing The Da Vinci Code argue against the Dan Browns thesis by claiming that the Prieur
de Sion was just a small club of friends founded in 1956 by Pierre Plantard, which fizzled
around 1984, and had no connection whatsoever with the medieval Prieur de Sion that created
the Order of the Knights Templar.
If it is the case that the Plantard de Saint-Claire bloodline and the Prieur de Sion are of no
consequence, then why the plethora of New Age books conditioning the public for their
imminent appearance on the world stage? Holy Blood, Holy Grail, The Messianic
Legacy and The Da Vinci Code are not journalistic flops but best-sellers on the global
market. Holy Blood, Holy Grail has sold over 20,000 copies and The Da Vinci Code, which has
been on the best-seller list for one year, has sold 5 million copies. Moreover, The Da Vinci
Code will be released next year as a movie directed by Ron Howard. If Pierre Plantard de SaintClaire was a charlatan, his lineage a bunch of pretenders, and the Prieur de Sion a fabrication,

41

why are millions of $$$ being expended by the mainstream media to educate the public as to
their singular importance?
These New Age sources have much more to say about the Prieur de Sion which is not intended
for Christian readers, lest, with their knowledge of Bible prophecy, they also figure out the Big
Jigsaw. According to The Messianic Legacy, by the famous authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail,
the Prieur de Sion, in concert with the Knights of Malta, are leaders of global politics, finance,
religion and intelligence.
The French press, in a brief article on M. Plantards election as Grand Master in 1981 had stated
that the 121 high dignitaries of the Prieur de Sion are all eminences grises of high finance and
international political or philosophical organisations. Something very similar could clearly be
said about the Knights of Malta. By virtue of their intrinsic natures, both Orders could be
expected to function in much the same sphere, the twilight underworld where politics, finance,
religion and the work of various intelligence organizations converge. - 232:362
According the Laurence Gardners Bloodline of the Holy Grail, the primary goal of the Prieur
de Sion was, and is, to reestablish the Merovingian bloodline as the royalty of Europe.
During this crusading era, various knightly Orders merged, including the Ordre de Sion
(Order of Sion) [aka Prieur de Sion] founded by Godefroi de Bouillon in 1099...
From 1188, the Order of Sion had been restructured, and evolved to pursue a more specific
course of loyalty to the Merovingian lineage of France. The Templars, on the other hand, were
especially concerned with supporting the emergent Stewart succession. In practice, the two
operated in close association because they were essentially concerned with the same root
bloodline - 29:256,323
Another piece of the jigsaw is that the Grand Masters of the Prieur de Sion changed their
surnames to obscure their Jewish origins. For example, Jeroboam Rothschild was a member of
this secret cabal.
Not all members of the Prieur de Sion, [Jean Luc Chaumeil] said, were Jewish. This
implication of this apparent non sequitor is obvious -- that some members of the order, if not
indeedmany, are Jewish. (Holy Blood, Holy Grail, p. 223)
The Prieur de Sion - the Elders of Sion also relates to the Rothschilds who are reported to
serve on a Jewish council of Elders of Sion... For instance, Armstrong, the Rothschild Trust, p.
196, That is the present objective of Jeroboam Rothschild and his secret Elders of Zion.
- 77:152,163
The British Round Table group served at the [Paris Peace] conference as advisers to Prime
Minister David Lloyd George. [The real behind- the-scene experts at the Paris conference
included M. (Georges) Mandel (real name Jeroboam Rothschild) (France), Phillip Sassoon
(1888-1939) (England) and Bernard Baruch (U.S.).] 539

The Prieur de Sion was created and has been directed by individuals related to the Saint-Claire

Through marriage the family of Marie Levis St. Claire was connected to the de Gisors, the
family from which the first and third grand masters of the Prieur de Sion came. Without
question, Prieur de Sion was created and run by individuals related to the St. Claires. The third
grand master was in charge in the year that the Templars were ordered arrested and the treasure
fleet set sail for Scotland to escape the agents of the French king. Did one St. Claire (from
France) correspond with another Sinclair (from Scotland) for this express purpose? Most likely
the answer is yes. - 281:178
Their domain [the Sinclair family--Scottish branch of the Norman Saint-Clair Gisors family] at
Rosslyn was only a few miles from the former Scottish headquarters of the Knights Templar, and
the chapel at Rosslyn--built between 1446 and 1486--has long been associated with both
Freemasonry and the Rose-Croix. In a charter believed to date from 1601, moreover, the
Sinclairs are recognized as 'hereditary' grand masters of Scottish Masonry.' This is the earliest
specifically Masonic document on record. According to Masonic sources, however, the
hereditary grand mastership was conferred on the Sinclairs by James II, who ruled between 1437
and 1460--the age of Ren dAnjou. - 31:183

Saint-Clair means 'holy light' (Shekinah). For evidence of the supreme importance of the Prieur

Saint-Clair is the Merovingian Antichrist, please see our report, The False Gospel in the Stars or,

Antichrist.
THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
Given the historical and geographical background of the Prieur de Sion, it becomes apparent
why the Merovingian dynasty had a vested interest in the reconquest of the Holy Land. To this
end, by the close of the first millennium, the Merovingian dynasty had strategically positioned its
network of crypto-Jewry to mobilize all of Europe for the long march to the Middle East. Most
interesting of all, Pope Urban II, who launched the First Crusade in 1099, was of Merovingian,
i.e. Jewish, descent and the 6th French Merovingian pope!
1088: Urban II, French Prior of Cluny (Reformed Benedictines) becomes the pope. Urban
was of the Eudes family... [grandson] of Henry of Burgundy who married Sibylle of
Barcelona... Barcelona, home of their mother, was part of the Spanish March connected to
Septimania...
It happens that Septimania (Languedoc) is exactly where the Jesus-Magdalene heresy
flourished, and where there was a large population of Cathar Jews who were given independent
status by Pepin, Carolingian King. Thence their own kings ruled as: seed of the Royal House of
David, each acknowledged as King of the Jews... (Merovingian Infiltration of the Christian
World Through Monasticism)
The Second Messiah: Templars, The Turin Shroud and the Great Secret of Freemasonry, by
Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, has identified some of the Jewish families who conspired
with the Merovingian pope to plunder the Holy Land. According to Knight and Lomas, these
Jewish elites, who regarded themselves as the kings of God, were the driving force behind
every Crusade, which is quite an admission considering that the later Crusades were directed
against the Cathar Jews in the Languedoc.
The picture that was emerging was of a group of European noble families, descended from
the Jewish lines of David and Aaron, who had escaped from Jerusalem shortly before, or possible
even just after, the fall of the Temple. They had passed down the knowledge of the artifacts
concealed within the Temple to a chosen son...of each family. Some of the families involved
were the Counts of Champagne, Lords of Gisors, Lords of Payen, Counts of Fontaine, Counts of
Anjou, de Bouillon, St. Clairs of Roslin, Brienne, Joinville, Chaumont, St Clair de Gisor, St Clair
de Neg and the Hapsburgs...
By 1095, the members of the Rex Deus families group were almost certainly fully
Christianised, yet each of them must have had at least one male member who held the traditional
history of their high-born Jewish roots close to his heart. No doubt they saw themselves as
super-Christians, descendants of the very first Church, and privy to the greatest secret this side
of heaven. They were a silent elite the kings of God.
Indeed, the history books record that [Urban IIs] leadership marked the papacys assumption
of the leadership of Western Christendom...

44

If the Rex Deus group did exist, it is easy to see how the First Crusade provided these
families with a God-given opportunity to return to their Holy Temple to recover the treasure
that was their birthright - and it would be done at exactly the same time that the Jewish writer of
the Gospel of John the Divine had predicted! The Rex Deus families were at the forefront of the
First, and every Crusade. Medieval scholars have long wondered why it should be that the same
families drove all of the Crusades for their entire duration, and now we had a possible answer.
(p.79)
It is suggested that at some period prior to 1128, Hughes De Payen wrote to Bernard, later St
Bernard of Clairvaux, by this time the leading light in the Cistercian Order and a force to be
reckoned with in the Catholic Church. Hughes is supposed to have asked St Bernard if he would
consider sponsoring the embryonic Order and perhaps create a Rule for what would be
essentially an institution of Holy Knights. It is extremely unlikely that St Bernard would have
needed to be approached officially by Hughes, who was almost certainly known to the little man
from Dijon and may indeed have been a kinsman. A much more likely scenario is that the
shadowy group of Champagne based nobles who were almost certainly responsible for the
formation of the Cistercian Order some years previously, had mooted the idea of the Templars at
least as early as 1118. It is suggested that documents found in Seborga in Northern Italy virtually
prove that St Bernard at least had a direct hand in forming the Templars.
there is no doubt that, in one way or another, Bernard of Clairvaux, the shining star of
monasticism, was prevailed upon to take the embryonic Templar Order under his wing, to
regularise it and to seek an official recognition by the Pope. In preparation for the event, Bernard
penned a long document entitled 'In Praise of the New Knighthood'. This was a sort of open
letter that justified the existence of a group of monks whose only real existence was to fight and
kill others - something that flew directly in the face of all monastic endeavour Bernardnot
only managed to convince many of his fellow monks that this was an excellent idea, but also the
Pope.
it is a fact that the Pope convened a council in Troyes, the capital city of Champagne, in
the year 1128... the Council was being held in the heartland of Champagne, only a few miles
from Bernard's own flourishing abbey of Clairvaux. The Pope simply could not avoid listening to
what Bernard had to say without directly insulting the Count of Champagne.
... Bernard had been busy converting the rule of St Benedict, already adapted for the
Cistercians themselves, to a form that would fit the Templar Order. By the time the Pope sat
down to convene the Council of Troyes, he was faced with a fete acomplee. He simply could not
risk offending the rulers of Champagne, who were also blood tied to the kings of Jerusalem...
As Bernard of Clairvaux was to do on many occasions during his life, he had 'stitched up' the
papacy, ensuring that the Templars would not simply exist, but that they would be headed by
factions drawn directly from Champagne and from his own family. The rest, as they say, is
history. When Honorius II died in 1130, against all the odds, Bernard managed to have Gregorio
Papereschi, a man with a dubious claim at best, elected as Pope Innocent II. This Pope, and his
successors, was deep in debt to Bernard, who left no stone unturned to have more and more
papal declarations made to consolidate and promote the Templar Order. However, the Council of
Troyes of 1128 was the turning point of early Templar fortunes and could be considered amongst
St Bernard of Clairvaux's greatest victories. (Templar History: The Council of Troyes)

45

After the First Crusade, the Knights of the Order of the Temple were officially recognized and
incorporated as a religious-military order under a Grand Master, Hugues de Payen. By decree of
Pope Innocent II, the Knights Templar were accountable to no one except the Pope, who was
typically a Merovingian. The Knights Templar occupied the Holy Land until the Saracens
recaptured Jerusalem 1187. In 1188, the Knights Templar and the Ordre de Sion allegedly
separated, the latter changing its name to the Prieur de Sion. In the next two hundred years, the
Templars would become the Jewish bankers of Europe, a powerful network with international
influence.
Pope Innocent II, a former protg of Saint Bernard, issued a papal bull in 1139, which stated
that the Templars owed no allegiance to any secular or ecclesiastical power other than the Pope
himself. In this way, the Templars were rendered totally independent of all kings, princes, and
prelates, and from all interference from both political and religious authorities. They became, in
effect, a law unto themselves. At the same time, Europes younger sons of noble families
flocked to enroll in the orders ranks and vast donationsin money, goods, and landwere
made from every quarter of Christendom. Eventually, the Templars became so wealthy that they
could lend vast sums of money to destitute monarchs and became the international bankers for
thrones in Europe and certain Muslim potentates in the Middle East. (Library of Halexandria)
THE ALBIGENSES
After their removal from the Holy Land, c. 1200, many Templars relocated to the South of
France, in the Languedoc where they claim Mary Magdalene and her children settled. The
Cathars of the Languedoc were the major Gnostic cult from the 11th to the 13th centuries. In the
Languedoc they were called Albigenses because the town of Albi was a main center of
Catharism. The Cathars/ Albigenses worshipped Mary Magdalene as the wife of Jesus Christ,
whose descendants they claimed to be. They believed in reincarnation and the dualist heresy of
the Manicheans, i.e. that the creator and master of this world was an Evil Demiurge (Satan) and
that the souls of angels were incarnated in human bodies.
The Cathars also believed that the Grail was a jewel or stone that fell from the crown of Lucifer,
whom they worshipped as the true God, as opposed to the Evil Demiurge who is Satan. The
organization which publishes Dagoberts Revenge is an invisible college called Ordo Lapsit
Exillis which means The Stone That Fell From Heaven, referring to Lucifer rebellion against
the Evil Demiurge:
The Ordo Lapsit Exillis is named after the Stone that fell from Heaven, the fabled jewel that is
said to have fallen from Lucifers crown during the war in Heaven, and which in the occult is
used as a symbol of enlightenment - of the descent of divine light form the mind of God into the
mind of Man. As such it symbolizes Venus, the Morning Star, as well as the Luciferian doctrine
of the initiates, the secret knowledge which men are not allowed, and which Lucifers angels
were cast from Heaven for sharing with man. In Freemasonry, this is symbolized as the Blazing
Star, which is often depicted as falling from Heaven. As Albert Pike writes in Morals and
Dogma, The Blazing Star has been regarded as an emblem of Omniscience, or the All-Seeing
Eye, which to the ancients was the Sun. Masons also represent the Lapsit Exillis as the Stone that

46

was rejected - the secret cornerstone of Solomons Temple which symbolizes the core of their
teachings.
According to Pinay, the Cathari/Albigenses operated as crypto-Jews who led
heretical movements throughout Europe.
...Jewish revolutionary movements which appeared within Christianity in the form of false
teaching and which were introduced by seeming Christians but by Jews in secret. The latter then
recruited upright and good Christians for the arising heretical movement by persuading the latter
in a crafty way.
The secret Jews organized and controlled in secret manner the movements, which were the
creative and driving-force of wicked false teachings, such as those of the Catarensers, of the
Patarines, of the Albignensians, of the Hussites, of the Illuminati and others. (p. 238)
The Cathar/Albigensian cults, whose counterparts in southeastern Europe were the Bogomils and
the Paulicians in the Near East, have been reimaged by various pseudo-Christian ministries the
true Christians who were unfairly persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. Not that God
ever sanctioned burning heretics at the stake, nevertheless, any good encyclopedia will furnish
copious evidence of the damnable heresies and occult traditions of these Gnostic cults which
were also politically subversive. A detailed discussion of the heresies and subversive activities
of these Gnostic sects is presented in our report: Shock & Awe in the KJV-Only Camp: The
Real History of King James Onlyism.
Although Maurice Pinay inveighed lengthily against Jewish infiltration of the Catholic clergy, it
seems never to have occurred to him that these Jews may have been agents provocateurs who
recruited upright and good Christians into heretical movements which their Marrano brethren
in the Vatican then brutally suppressed, thereby giving Christianity a reputation for aggression
and violence and bringing undeserved reproach upon the name of Jesus Christ, who preached
nonviolence. Nor did M. Pinay seem to realize that, in many cases, the kings and clergy who
compelled Jews to convert were themselves Jews who planned to infiltrate the Church in order to
divide and conquer Christianity. At any rate, a major theme of the Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion is a conspiracy to sow discord among the Gentiles and these conspirators know
very well that very few are immune to the dialectical process. Maurice Pinay was not one of
them, for he typically perceived the evil of only one side of what appears to have been a
controlled conflict, that is, both sides directed by the same conspirators.
In 1209, Pope Innocent III launched the Albigensian Crusade, at first to convert, but eventually
to eradicate the Cathars in the Languedoc. The Albigensian Crusade was succession of
campaigns which lasted for a period of 40 years, turning the Languedoc into a war zone. In 1244,
the final siege at Montsgur lasted one year, during which time the Cathar and/or Templar wealth
was secretly removed to an undisclosed location. Like Mount Hermon/Sion, Montsegur is
important as a sacred site leading to the underworld and, in fact, was regarded by the
Merovingians as a New Sion. According to Tracy Twyman, the editor of Dagoberts Revenge and
author of Le Serpent Rouge Reinterpreted, the center of the earth (aka Hell) is the waiting
place of the ancient gods, whom apostate Jews venerate as the Biblical patriarchs:

47

Hercules would seem to have much in common with Saturn, or Kronos, the Cain figure of
Roman and Greek mythology who was also a navigator, and who in some Greek myths is said to
have been a consort of Venus, and in others has a different familial relationship with her. Their
relationship is similar to that between Virgo and Mercury, who has a legend surrounding his
tomb as well that echoes that of Venus, Kronos, Osiris, Christian Rosenkreutz, and a number of
figures throughout world mythology that seem to embody the same mythos - that of the Sun god
who dies and is reborn as his own son. They are all said to be buried in a tomb that is,
symbolically or otherwise, at the center of the Earth, which is lit by an inner sun, and which is
covered with hieroglyphic writing. And the Tomb of Hercules, which is a cave that actually
exists in Montsegur nearby Rennes-le-Chateau, is indeed covered with hieroglyphic symbols.
This hearkens back to the Tower of Babel, that symbol of the first universal language, and of the
World Mountain...
Perhaps this is what is symbolized by the ruined Temple of Solomon, referred to repeatedly
in the poem Le Serpent Rouge, and throughout the Grail literature. The Temple of Solomon, like
the Towel of Babel and the Giza pyramids, is meant to symbolize the World Mountain in the
center of the Earth. But it is built on Mt Zion, which, Jews believe, really is the World Mountain,
and the Cave of Treasures which is the burial place of all of the Biblical patriarchs - every one
of them based upon ancient gods such as Kronos and Venus. Montsegur is the World Mountain in
this version of the story, a New Sion, and the mountains at Rennes-le-Chateau are the temple
erected to it - just like the Temple of Solomon that was erected on Mt Sion, or, like the Grail
castle was erected upon Montsalveche, The Mountain of Salvation, very similar in meaning to
the Secure Mountain title of Montsegur. (Dagoberts Revenge) [article no longer available]
The Cathars were exterminated in 1245, but the Knights Templar...
In 1306, Philippe IV of France, was acutely anxious to rid his territory of the Templars, who
were, at their best, arrogant and unruly. But for Philippe, the Templars were also efficient and
highly trained, a professional military force much stronger and better organized than anything
Philippe IV could muster. Philippe had no control over them, as their allegiance was only to the
Pope, and even the latter was only a nominal allegiance. (Library of Halexandria)
On Friday, October 13, 1307, King Philip IV of France, through a Papal Order of Pope Clement
V, called for the arrest of every Templar in France on charges of heresy and blasphemy and the
confiscation of Templar property in France. King Philip had good reason for ridding his territory
of Templars. The Poor Knights of Christ had become a criminal element who, as international
bankers had power to orchestrate the rise and fall of monarchs and popes. The decree was
extended to all of Europe.
During this period of persecution, many Templars fled to Scotland. Meanwhile, back in France,
the Prieur de Sion was still intact and fully operational, albeit clandestinely, under a succession
of Grand Masters all claiming to be Jewish descendants of Jesus Christ. But whatever became of
the Templar wealth? Albert Pike disclosed in Morals & Dogma, not only the heirs of the
Templars, but also the high cabals motive for downsizing the Order:
The seeds of decay were sown in the Order of the Temple at its origin. Hypocrisy is a mortal
disease. It had conceived a great work which it was incapable of executing, because it knew
neither humility nor personal abnegation, because Rome was then invincible, and because the

48

later Chiefs of the Order did not comprehend its mission. Moreover, the Templars were in
general uneducated, and capable only of wielding the sword, with no qualifications for
governing, and at need enchaining, that Queen of the World called Opinion...
Hugues de Payens himself had not that keen and far-sighted intellect nor that grandeur of
purpose which afterward distinguished the military founder of another soldiery that became
formidable to kings. The Templars were unintelligent and therefore unsuccessful Jesuits.
Their watchword was to become wealthy, in order to buy the world. They became so, and in
1312 they possessed in Europe alone more than nine thousand seignories. Riches were the shoal
on which they were wrecked. They became insolent, and unwisely showed their contempt for the
religious and social institutions which they aimed to overthrow. Their ambition was fatal to them.
Their projects were divined and prevented... Pope Clement V, and King Philip le Bel gave the
signal to Europe, and the Templars, taken as it were in an immense net, were arrested, disarmed,
and cast into prison. Never was a Coup d' Etat accomplished with a more formidable concert of
action. The whole world was struck with stupor, and eagerly waited for the strange revelations of
a process that was to echo through so many ages.(p. 820)
THE AVIGNON PAPACY
Nearly all Protestant histories of the Roman Catholic Church fail to mention a monumental event
which radically alters the historical picture the Avignon Papacy. For it was during the Templar
Purge that the Roman curia and pope were forcibly removed to the Merovingian territory of
South France, whence a Merovingian pope and papal court managed the Catholic Church for
nearly 70 years. Appropriately called the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, it was during
this period that papal supremacy was declared, indulgences were first sold and anti-clericalism
was launchednot from Rome but by the Merovingian pope and papal curia in the Merovingian
stronghold of South France.
But when from 1305 to 1378 the papal curia was at Avignon and the cardinals were nearly all
Frenchmen, Englishmen were offended: and from 1378 to 1418 the two popes, at Rome and
Avignon, caused scandal to all Dr. Walter Ullmann, in his recent notable book on Medieval
Papalism, quotes the fourteenth century papalists as asserting that the pope, in the fulness of his
power, was beyond the reach of any mortal, emperor, king or any other The pope could do and
say whatever he pleased to do and say in all and everything: he was above the law, whether
natural (and, as it were divine) or whether humanly devised In the conception of the
canonists, Dr. Ullmann writes, the pope was truly God on earth.
A word then about Wycliffes anti-clericalism, a factor now so much stressed as one of the
causes of the sixteenth century Reformation. Anti-clericalism did not begin with Wycliffe or in
England: it existed in France at the beginning of the fourteenth century. It spread from the south
French university of Montpellier, a great law school, which trained most of the anti-clerical
courtiers and ministers of Philip IV... (Deanesly, The Significance of the Lollard Bible)
The Avignon papacy in the lifetime of John Wycliffe and beyond seems to have been custom
designed by the French Merovingians to agitate public opinion against the Church. It is also
noteworthy that it was not the Church of Rome but the Avignon papacy in France which declared
the Immaculate Conception of Mary to be a dogma of the Church. A late date of 1854 is often
assigned to this heretical teaching which became Catholic dogma by the decree of Pope Pius

49

IX, Ineffabilis Deus. However, its early history is documented, not only in the Catholic
Encyclopedia, but in historical accounts such as Henry Charles Leas History of the Inquisition:
Up to the twelfth century it was not questioned that the Virgin was conceived and born in sin
With the growth of Mariolotry, however, there came a popular tendency to regard the Virgin as
free from all human corruption, and towards the middle of the twelfth century the church of
Lyons ventured to place on the calendar a new feast in honor of the Conception of the Virgin,
the celebration of the Feast of the Conception gradually spread. Thomas Aquinas tells us that it
was observed in many churches, though not in that of Rome, and that it was not forbidden, but
he warns against the inference that because a feast is holy therefore the conception of Mary was
holy. In fact, he denies the possibility of her immaculate conception There is a tradition that
the University of Parisin 1222declared in its favor by a solemn decree the Church of
Narbonne commenced, in 1327, to celebrate the Feast of the Conception, and in 1328 the
Council of London ordered its observance in all the churches of the Province of Canterbury, we
see how rapidly the new dogma was spreading. (Lea, A History of the Inquisition, Vol. 3, pp.
596-598)
Thomas Aquinas repudiated the false doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, which was
apparently the work of Franciscan theologian, John Duns Scotus, who developed a systematic
theology that led to its proclamation as Catholic dogma:
Blessed John Duns Scotus (1265/66 8th November 1308), besides being known as the Subtle
Doctor, is also referred to as the Marian Doctor. It was he who presented a systematic
theology of the Marian privilege of the Immaculate Conception, which the Catholic Church
officially proclaimed as a Dogma of Faith in the Apostolic Constitution Ineffabilis Deus of Pope
Pius IX (8th December 1854), of which we are this year celebrating the 150th anniversary.
(John Duns Scotus and His Defence of the Immaculate Conception)
Interestingly, Christianity Today recently published an article promoting the theology of John
Duns Scotus. On January 10, 2008, CT Editor, Philip Yancey, recommended that evangelicals
reconsider the Catholic theology of Duns Scotus:
More than two centuries before the Reformation, a theological debate broke out that pitted
theologian Thomas Aquinas against an upstart from Britain, John Duns Scotus. In essence, the
debate circled around the question, Would Christmas have occurred if humanity had not
sinned?
Whereas Aquinas viewed the Incarnation as Gods remedy for a fallen planet, his
contemporary saw much more at stake. For Duns Scotus, the Word becoming flesh as described
in the prologue to Johns Gospel must surely represent the Creators primary design, not some
kind of afterthought or Plan B. Aquinas pointed to passages emphasizing the Cross as Gods
redemptive response to a broken relationship. Duns Scotus cited passages from Ephesians and
Colossians on the cosmic Christ, in whom all things have their origin, hold together, and move
toward consummation...
...Though most theologians tended to follow Aquinas, in recent years prominent Catholics
such as Karl Rahner have taken a closer look at Duns Scotus. Perhaps evangelicals should, too.
(Ongoing Incarnation)
Duns Scotus taught at the University of Paris from 1293 through 1297, when he was expelled,
allegedly for siding with the pope in his feud with King Philip IV of France. From Paris, the
Marian Doctor removed to the University of Oxford. According to Louis Israel Newman,

50

author of Jewish Influence on Christian Reform Movements, The scholarly relationship between
the Universities of Paris and Oxford for a long period was very close; it was first interrupted by
the controversies during the time of Wycliffe and afterwards broken off by the wars in France
and the civil wars in England. (p. 90)
Leas History of the Inquisition stated that the Church in England was among the first to follow
suit after the French declared the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The Avignonese Popes,
all Merovingians who worshipped the Black Virgin, had devised a clever strategy to impose the
pernicious doctrine of the Immaculate Conception on Christendom:
Juan de Moncon, a Dominican professor in the University of Paris, taught that the Virgin
was conceived in sin. This aroused a great uproar, and he fled to Avignon from impending
condemnation. Then, at Rouen, another Dominican preached similar doctrine, and, as we are
told, was generally ridiculed. The University sent to Avignon a deputation headed by Pierre
dAilly, who claimed that the papal decision had been in their favor... The Dominicans were
expelled from all positions in the Sorbonne, and the Avignonese Clement VII. was too dependent
upon France to refuse a bull proclaiming as heretics Juan and all who held with him. Charles VI.
was persuaded not only to force the Dominicans of Paris to celebrate every year the Feast of the
Conception, but to order the arrest of all within the kingdom who denied the Immaculate
Conception, that they might be brought to Paris and obliged to recant before the University
The University of Paris was the stronghold of the new doctrine The beliefcontinued to
spread In 1438 the clergy and magistrates of Madridmade a vow thereafter to observe the
Feast of the Conception. The next year the Council of Baslecame to a decision in favor of the
Immaculate Conception, forbade all assertions to the contrary, and ordered the feast to be
everywhere celebrated on December 8, with due indulgences for attendance
A new article could not be introduced without creating a new heresy. Here was one on which
the Church was divided, and the adherents on each side denounced the other as heretics and
persecuted them as far as they dared where they had the power. In this the Dominicans were
decidedly at a disadvantage, and their antagonists had greatly the preponderance and were daily
growing in strength. In 1457, the Council of Avignon, presided over by a papal legate, the
Cardinal de Foix, who was a Franciscan, confirmed the decree of Basle, and ordered under pain
of excommunication that no one should teach to the contrary (Lea, A History of the
Inquisition, pp. 599-600)
Cardinal de Foix would have been a Merovingian since the Counts of Foix were descendants of
the Merovingian dynasty through Eudes, the Duke of Aquitaine. The entire region of South
France had long been a stronghold of Mariolatry, being worshippers of the Black Virgin, who
was the Egyptian Isis Christianized as Mary Magdalene. The forcible introduction of Maryworship into the Catholic Church, which formerly held no such doctrine, was a veritable tour de
force of the Merovingian papacy at Avignon.
For over a century the Avignon papacy was diligently at work transforming the Church
doctrinally and also setting in motion the events which would divide and conquer Christendom.
This major turning point in Church history, which is known as the Great Western Schism, began
in 1378 with two events: the death of Pope Gregory XI and the prohibition of passing judgment
against John Wycliffe on the order of the Queen of England, Joan Plantagenet. The corruption of
the Avignon Papacy was not limited to Catholic doctrine; the financial and administrative
51

corruption of the Papal Court was so flagrant that in retrospect it seems to have been deliberate
in order to provoke the popular revolt which inevitably followed.
Popes, Cardinals, and officials of the Chancery and Apostolic Camera appointed bishops,
collected taxes, and imposed disreputable political interdicts and excommunications throughout
much of Christendom with greater abandon than ever before. They did so in tight association
with countless princes and other representatives of the late medieval Establishment. Bankers
were particularly welcome in their entourage. As Alvaro Pelayo, himself a fervent supporter of
the Holy See, noted in De planctu ecclesiae, Whenever I entered the chambers of the
ecclesiastics of the Papal Court, I found brokers and clergy engaged in weighing and reckoning
the money which lay in heaps before them. (Pastor, I, 72). / was this the Templar treasure?
A myriad of astonishing abuses, many of them the product of exceedingly pro-papal
canonists influenced heavily by Roman Law and purely utilitarian power considerations, became
associated with the Avignon administration. Charitable covers for raking in illicit funds were
multiplied. Sees were left vacant or filled in ways that furthered the increase of gross curial
muscle and wealth. Legal cases were painfully delayed so as to milk more loot from longsuffering plaintiffs and defendants. And, once again, all this was done in dangerous cahoots with
locally important political and banker hacks.
Even more destructive was the treatment of diocesan matters as property rather than pastoral
questions. Bishoprics were assigned either to curial officialsto provide, from their
endowments, salaries the Papacy could not otherwise payor to friends of political allies whose
cooperative behavior needed to be rewarded. Since it was impossible for papal employees to
leave their governmental positions in Avignon to tend to even one diocesemuch less the two or
more often entrusted to their misuseepiscopal charges inevitably entailed the same
absenteeism already practiced by the pope himself. Perhaps the most bizarre long term
development from such unfortunate policies was to be the creation of nominal bishops who
were often not even priests. Lay bishops got the revenues from their property, and then
employed some hireling to do the episcopal tasks they themselves could not legitimately
perform.
...Avignons abuses merely confirmed the convictions of those who already thought of the
Church and her mission as a blasphemous work of Satan. This was the major reason why her
scandals were so detested by orthodox believers. (The Great Western Schism)
The outrageous conduct of the Avignon papacy marked the beginning of the decline of the
Roman Catholic papacy.
The kings increasing ability to claim the loyalty of the local clergy and to collect church
taxes helped create several quasi-national churches that officially were part of the Roman
Catholic Church but were increasingly under royal control. The Babylonian Captivity, along
with the Hundred Years War then going on, also triggered challenges to papal authority from two
other directions: church councils and popular heresies. (Schism & heresies in late medieval
Europe)
Another factor in the decline of the papacy was the spectacle of warring popes during the Great
Schism. At one point the Church had three popes who excommunicated one another!! This
chaotic state of affairs divided all of Europe and permanently damaged the authority of the pope:
The Great Schism and Conciliar movement

52

The resentment that the Babylonian Captivity aroused against the Church grew worse when
the popes tried to move back to Rome. By the 1370s, the turmoil of the Hundred Years War was
making life at Avignon increasingly dangerous. The capture and ransoming of Pope Innocent VI
by a company of English mercenaries (who had little use for a French pope, anyway) convinced
Pope Gregory XI to move to Rome. However, at this time, Rome was a more dangerous place to
live in during times of peace than France was during war. It took Gregory three attempts to get
into Rome, and once he got in, he quickly decided he wanted to leave and return to Avignon.
Unfortunately, Gregory died before he could get out.
For the first time in 70 years, Rome was the scene of a papal election, and the Roman mob
clamored outside for an Italian pope. Under such pressure, the College of Cardinals elected an
Italian, Urban VI, as the next pope. Unfortunately, Urban was something of a violent and
bigoted man whose actions drove all but three cardinals back to Avignon where they elected a
second pope. Thus began the Great Schism, a period of turmoil when the Church was divided in
its loyalty between two lines of popes, one French and one Italian. To no ones surprise, each
pope refused to recognize the other and even excommunicated him and his followers. This led to
enormous anxiety among devout Christians, who found themselves supposedly excommunicated
by one pope or the other. With neither pope willing to resign, something had to be done.
The most popular suggestion was a general church council such as the ones summoned to
solve major disputes in the past. There were several problems with this solution. First of all,
popes traditionally called such councils, and neither pope was willing to call such a council.
This made the legality of such a council questionable if not called by at least one pope. Second,
different rulers in Europe supported particular popes, largely for political reasons. Such political
divisions made it almost impossible to get people to agree on the site of a council, not to mention
the deeper issues involved. Finally, the whole issue of a Church council raised the question: if a
council could depose the pope, who was the real head of the Church? This was a question that
lingered on long after the Great Schism had faded away.
At last, a council was called at Pisa, Italy in 1409. It deposed the two rival popes and elected
a third. Unfortunately, neither original pope recognized the councils power to depose a pope, so
now the Church had three popes. However, by this time, people were committed to the idea of a
church council, and another one was called at Constance, Switzerland. All three popes were
deposed, and a fourth, Martin V, was elected. Although one of the deposed popes held on in
Avignon until 1429, the Great Schism ended here. Its effects did not, because it caused people
all over Western Europe to question the authority of the pope in the Church. Although a single
pope once again ruled the Church, his reputation and authority were permanently undermined.
(Schism & heresies in late medieval Europe)
The Merovingian Infiltration of the Christian Church Through Monasticism, of anonymous
authorship, makes a compelling case that the Avignon Papacy was a planned conspiracy executed
by the French monarch, Philip le Bel, who was a Merovingian. This accords with statements in
Merovingian sources that the Templar Purge was orchestrated for the purpose of downsizing
and relocating the Order to Scotland where they would enjoy the protection of the Saint Clair
family and freedom they did not have on the Continent. In the British Isles, the Templars, under
the protection and leadership of Henry Sinclair, would be at liberty establish the Order of the
Rose Croix, Freemasonry, Unitarianism and Baptist churches. (See: Anabaptist Unitarians).
Merovingian king, Philip IV (la Belle), who arrested the Templars on Oct. 13, 1307 and who
placed his cousin, Clement V, on the Chair of Peter as his accomplice, then insisted that the pope

53

remain in France, rather than Rome. This began what is named the Babylonian Captivity of the
Church, a 68 year period in which the Church was forced to remain in Avignon France. The next
successive 6 popes would be French and Merovingian, the second of whom, Clement VI, began
formulating the doctrine of indulgences, which later became the spark of the Protestant
Reformation as planned! The majority of Templars who escaped the arrest in 1307 went to
Scotland which was the first to break from the Church through the Declaration of Arbroath, the
document on which the 1776 U.S. Declaration was based. One signatory of the letter to Pope
John XXII April 4, 1320 (date NATO was later formed) was the grandfather of Henry Sinclair,
Earl of Orkney and Shetland Islands for Norway who lived in Roslin Castle, Scotland. It was he
who brought Templar treasure to Nova Scotia in 1398, 94 years pre-Columbus. The Sinclairs
were bishops of Ross and hereditary Grand Masters of Freemasonry. (The Merovingian
Infiltration of the Christian Church Through Monasticism)
Prince Michael Stewart is President of the European Council of Princes, said to be a
constitutional advisory body to the European Union. Prince Michael is also the Knight Grand
Commander of the Chivalric Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (Knights Templar), and
holds various other titles of high rank in the Merovingian bloodline. (The Forgotten Monarchy of
Scotland, pp. 2, 308) According to Prince Michael, following the Templar Purge on the
Continent, the Celtic Church of Scotland welcomed the refugee Knights Templar who then
formed the Order of the Rosy Cross. And the first order of business of the Knights of the Rosy
Cross was...to meet with the Pope at Avignon!!
The established Roman Church may have betrayed the Templars, but in Scotland they found
something far more trustworthy and tangible: a sacred royal house, and a Priest-King of the
Celtic Church succession. ...the Knights became part of the Scottish Government as the
appointed Royal Bodyguard, with the Order established as Guardian of the King of Scots by day
and by night... A new order was then formed, called the Elder Brothers of the Order of the
Rosy Cross, and several of the Rosy Cross Knights then sailed to France for a meeting with
Pope John XXII at Avignon.
Many historians have presumed therefore that the Knights Templars must have been
disbanded in Scotland, but this was not the case; it was simply that [Robert the] Bruce had
contrived the secret Order to become even more secretive. Indeed, the Order of the Knights of
the Rosy Cross...was a very successful cover. (The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland, p. 65)
Having formed the secretive Order of the Rosy Cross in Scotland, the Templars sent a contingent
of Rosy Cross Knights to France for a meeting with the Pope at Avignon. This is documented
with a footnote: The Vatican Archives, Rome What would prompt the persecuted Templars to
return to the very headquarters of the Catholic Church which had slaughtered so many knights of
their Order? Prince Michael offers this feeble excuse: ...this new Order was not apparently
Templar to outsiders, and since the Pope held the international reins of Chivalric Orders, a
meeting was necessary for registration. Furthermore, the Pope agreed to issue a Charter so
long as his own nephew, Jacques de Via, became the operative Grand Master. (Stewart, p. 65)
Surely this high-level meeting between the fugitive Templars and the Avignon Pope reeks of
collusion.

54

Also about this time, John Wycliffe, the Morning Star of the Reformation, led the Lollards of
England to foment rebellion against the Avignon Papacy, a Merovingian front doing their best to
destroy public confidence in the Catholic Church. The purge of the Knights Templar occurred
from 1307 to 1314, the same years the Merovingian Pope and his curia were setting up their new
headquarters in Avignon. John Wycliffe was born in 1327 and entered the political scene around
1376, at the close of the Avignon Papacy and onset of the Great Schism. Is this sequence of
events mere coincidence or is there evidence that Wycliffe may have been an agent of the
network of the secret societies that Henry Saint Clair had established on the British Isles?
Evidence of Wycliffes Rosicrucian connections is presented in: The Lollard Movement: John
Wycliffe.
There is compelling evidence that the Protestant Reformation was the brainchild of the
Merovingian Jews who functioned as agent provocateurs throughout the Holy Roman Empire
whose ultimatums for reform were met with more flagrant abuses by the Merovingian popes.
Some agents of the Reformation were as violent as the popes, giving Protestant Christianity a
reputation for brutality, as the Marranos had formerly done within the Catholic Church.
(See: The Reformation: Rosicrucian Connections) Rosicrucian Jeff Nisbet divulged the
brilliant strategy of the Merovingian Jews in Atlantis Rising magazine:
In one fell swoop, the Christian world was cleft in twain. No longer would Rome be able to
raise great armies from its subject nations to crush heresies wherever the Papal finger pointed.
There was no longer just one big boy on the block. Another had moved in. The mightiest church
the world had ever known had been divided and conquered.
But the Reformed Church would not be allowed to remain squeaky clean. The life of Marys
grandson, James VI, the first...king of both Scotland and England, would be threatened by a plot
hatched by witches on Halloween, 1590. The celebrated but trumped-up case of the North
Berwick Witches kick-started over a century of Scottish witch hunts, and proved that your
average Presbyterian could be just as vindictive as your average Catholic when it came to
fighting Satan's minions. While an equilibrium had been established between the two great
Christian powers, neither can yet lay claim to being the saintliest, and each still has that heavy
cross of guilt to bear. Another perfect doublecross, perhaps? (Rosslyn Chapel Revisited)

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT

CATHOLIC OR JEWISH?
PART III
THE ILLUMINATI
At this point we turn to Pastor John S. Torell of the European-American Evangelistic Crusades,
who elucidates the development of the Illuminati with greater accuracy than the authorized
version which places the origin of this high cabal late in historyin 1776 with Adam
Weishaupts organization. Do not miss Rev. Torells statement that the Marrano families, that is
Jews who converted to Christianity, survived the Inquisition and are among us today, which may
account for the fabricated Illuminati history that circulates.
The first known Illuminati order (Alumbrado) was founded in 1492 by Spanish Jews, called
Marranos, who were also known as crypto-Jews. With violent persecution in Spain and
Portugal beginning in 1391, hundreds of thousands of Jews had been forced to convert to the
faith of the Roman Catholic Church. Publicly they were now Roman Catholics, but secretly they
practiced Judaism, including following the Talmud and the Cabala. The Marranos were able to
teach their children secretly about Judaism, but in particular the Talmud and the Cabala, and this
huge group of Jews has survived to this very day. After 1540 many Marranos opted to flee to
England, Holland, France, the Ottoman empire (Turkey), Brazil and other places in South and
Central America. The Marranos kept strong family ties and they became very wealthy and
influential in the nations where they lived. But as is the custom with all Jewish people, it did not
matter in what nation they lived, their loyalty was to themselves and Judaism. (How the World
Government Rules the Nations)
In 1492, Spanish Roman Catholics also expelled the last of the Muslims and Jews from Spain.
The reason for the Spanish Inquisition is buried under a mile high pile of propaganda
remonstrating against the anti-Semitism of the Church. From 1000 to 1200 A.D., the
magical/mystical system known as Cabala was developed mainly by Sephardi (African) Jews,
especially in Spain. The Inquisition was not directed against the Jews for practicing Torah
Judaism, but for criminal activities connected with the Talmud and Cabalaeven ritual human
sacrifice and Tantric sex magick, for the Talmud directs Jews to exterminate Christians and the
Cabala contains erotic elements.
Also in 1492, Christopher Columbus was funded by Jews to explore the New World in search of
a homeland for their persecuted brethren. On August 2 (the Druid feast of Lugnasha) in 1492,
Christopher Columbus set sail for the New World, sponsored by Leonardo da Vinci (Grand
Master of the Prieur de Sion from 1510-1519) and funded by wealthy Merovingian families like
the Medici of Italy. According to Occult Conspiracy by Michael Howard:

56

Columbus was associated with a political group that supported the ideas of Dante, one of the
alleged Grand Masters of the Order of the Rosy Cross, who is known to have used codes and
ciphers in his writings, a practice associated with membership of a secret society. Columbus
voyages of discovery were sponsored by Leonardo da Vinci and Lorenzo de Medici, both
initiates of secret societies, who found the explorer wealthy patrons among European Royalty
and aristocracy. (p.74)
There is also speculation that Leonardo da Vinci was of Jewish extraction.
The Nobility of a Talented Bastard, Leonardo. Such was the caption of an article in the
important Italian Newspaper, Corriere della Sera of October 1, 2000. Recent research maintains,
the article begins, that the maestro of Vinci was born of a Jewess who stemmed from Russia.
(Hebrew History Federation)
Likewise, there is evidence that Christopher Columbus was a Jew. The Jewish scholar, Eliezer
Segal, cites Columbus biographer S. de Madariaga and the Jewish historian Cecil Roth, as
providing the most cogent arguments in favor of this view.
...there has been some weighty scholarly debate over the possibility that Columbus, though
undeniably a devout and zealous Catholic, might also have been the proud descendant of Spanish
Jews. Ironically, this view has been championed by some patriotic Spaniards, who would rather
have him a Spanish Jew than an Italian gentile.
There is evidence that Columbus spoke Spanish while still living in Italy, an unusual situation
unless his family had originated in Spain. Spanish-speaking Jewish refugees from the Inquisition
were numerous in the Genoa area.
The form Coln which Columbus adopted as the Spanish equivalent of his last name was
not the expected form (which would have been Colom or Colombo). It was however a
common Jewish variation on the name.
Columbus was known to frequent the company of Jews and former Jews, among whom were
some noted astronomers and navigators, as well as his official translator. Marranos figure
prominently among Columbuss backers and crew. Throughout his life he demonstrated a keen
knowledge of the Bible and the geography of the Holy Land. In fact in one place he calculates
the date from the destruction of the Second House [=Temple], counting from the traditional
(and erroneous) Jewish date of 68 C.E., rather than the generally held 70...
The connections between the timing of Columbuss voyage and the expulsion of Spanish
Jewry are indeed curious. Historians have noted that, though Columbus was not scheduled to set
sail until August 3rd, he insisted that his entire crew be ready on board a full day earlier. The
timing becomes more intriguing when we consider that August 2nd 1492 was the day that had
been ordained for the last Jews of Spain to depart the country. Hundreds of thousands of Jews
were departing Spain on that black day.
When this coincidence of dates was first noted by the Spanish biographer S. de Madariaga,
the English Jewish historian Cecil Roth supplemented it with a further coincidence: August 2nd
1492 coincided with the Ninth of Av, the Jewish fast of mourning for the destruction of the
Jerusalem Temples! It was as if Columbus had arranged to remain on board ship for that illomened day, and to depart only afterwards. (Columbus Medinah?)

57

Besides Leonardo da Vinci and the Medici, Christopher Columbus was financed by the House of
Anjou, another Jewish family, and specifically, Rene dAnjou of the Langudoc in France, who
was Grand Master of the Prieur de Sion from 1418-1480.
Ren DAnjou sought to promote the advancement of learning and at one time employed
Christopher Columbus. (Holy Blood, Holy Grail, p.138)
...Ren was, through his Angevin ancestry one of Christs most prominent living
descendants. ...when Ren and Isabel became the Duke and Duchess of Lorraine, court was held
at their castles throughout Anjou and Provence. These courts included Jewish cabalists,
astrologers and even the physician Jean de Saint-Remy, grandfather of Nostradamus. In fact,
Christopher Columbus was a member of the Court for a while, and Ren was the person who
gave him his first ships commission to Tunis. (Tracy R. Twyman, Editor, Dagobert's
Revenge)
To the present day, St. Rene DAnjou is venerated as one of the many phallic saints of
France. A website that publishes Sacred Texts on sacred sexuality provides the abominable
details of the worship of Priapus who was the first Bishop of Lyons. In the south of France,
Provence, Languedoc, and the Lyonnais, [Priapus] was worshipped under the title of St. Foutin...
Similar phallic saints were worshipped under the names of St. Guerlichon, or Greluchon, at
Bourg-Dieu in the diocese of Bourges, of St. Gilles in the Cotentin in Britany, of St. Rene in
Anjou, of St. Regnaud in Burgundy, of St. Arnaud, and above all of St. Guignol near Brest and
at the village of La Chatelette in Berri. Many of these were still in existence and their worship in
full practice in the last century...
It seems that the Jews regarded America as the New Jerusalem: ...Columbus...believed when he
landed in America that God had led him to the New Jerusalem. The idea of America as the
fulfilment of a biblical prophecy concerning the foundation of a spiritual Utopia on Earth was a
central belief in the Rosicrucian philosophy of the seventeenth century. (Occult Conspiracy,
p.74)
THE SIX-POINTED STAR
These little known facts of history explain why the Great Seal of the United States is a highly
symbolic representation of Americas designated role as a new Jewish homeland, with the
original 13 colonies representing the 13 tribes of Israel. The high incidence of 13s in the Great
Seal is detailed on the website of the Philosophical Research Society founded by Manly P. Hall,
Masonic author of The Secret Destiny of America.
The significance of the mystical number 13, which frequently appears upon the Great Seal of
the United States, is not limited to the number of the original colonies. The sacred emblem of the
ancient initiates, here composed of 13 stars, also appears above the head of the eagle. The
motto, E Pluribus Unum, contains 13 letters, as does also the inscription, Annuit Coeptis. The
eagle clutches in its right talon a branch bearing 13 leaves and 13 berries and in its left a sheaf
of 13 arrows. The face of the pyramid, exclusive of the panel containing the date, consists of 72
58

stones arranged in 13 rows. From Hunts History of the United States (Gallery of Masonic
Symbolism)
In British-Israelism, which is a Judeo-Masonic doctrine, the number 13 symbolizes the 13 tribes
of Israel in accordance with the blessing of Jacob (Israel) upon his sons in Genesis 49. British
Israelite teacher, Gene Scott, explains It must be remembered the Manasseh is the thirteenth
tribe. Ephraim moved into Josephs place and Manasseh was added to the twelve. Furthermore,
Scott claims that the tribe of Manassah founded the United States. When the number of colonies
(lost tribes?) reached 13, the colonists declared independence from Great Britain as the 13
united States of America:
The United States, being founded as a permanent home by the Pilgrims (of the tribe of
Manasseh), should reflect the emblems of that tribe. It will be found that the Great Seal of the
United States contains ten features of thirteen. And given that some sixteen drafts, over a time
period of 159 years through which the seal was constructed, it makes coincidence impossible as
an explanation for those 13s. I know that the easy answer to the fact of all these thirteens is that
there were thirteen original colonies, but this surface explanation doesnt fit all the evidence.
When the facts of the United States and the Great Seal are viewed in the context of the whole
Lost Tribes teaching, it obviously fits like it belonged. The coincidence of there being thirteen
colonies doesnt add a whit to the total picture unless it is taken to be part of the [Lost Tribes]
material.
If Christopher Columbus discovered America, why was the continent not named Columbia or
similar eponym? The official legend is that America was named after an Italian voyager,
Amerigo Vespucci, which makes little sense. It will come as a revelation to many North
Americans that the name America probably derived from Ameru, the serpent-god of South
America. Ameru was also known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs and Viracocha to the people of
Central Andes.
Interestingly, the Book of Mormon claims that Jesus appeared as the god Quetzalcatl in South
America, the New World. However, The Catholic Churchs conquistadores tried to obliterate all
signs of the truth of Jesus-Quetzalcatl in the New World, by burning the codicesthe written
wordbut they did not destroy them all
One Nephite left the land shortly after Jesus appeared to the Aztecs as the god Quezalcoatl
Upon his arrival in Egypt he took the name Alexander Helios and set his Liahona's needles for
the land of the Israelites. He was granted honorary membership in the Essenes of the Qumran
Community. At Qumran, Helios performed a most important job,
Alexander had became chief archivist of the Qumran community. It was he who dutifully
removed all scriptural references to the Golden Plates (of the Book of Mormon) from the dead
sea scrolls before they were buried. This explains why no references to Mormonism occur in the
Dead Sea scrolls and in any books of the Holy Bible. The sensitive work was done on
commandment from Jesus and in the presence of the angel Moroni who appeared to Alexander in
44 A.D. Moroni revealed to Alexander that the knowledge of the records of Lemon is yet not to
be revealed ...the holy Scrolls of Qumran contain writings that cannot be revealed unto the

59

world; but is to be had in the Holy Temple of God, in the full ripeness of time. (The Three
Nephites)
Quetzalcoatl, Ameru and Viracocha corresponded to the Egyptian god, Osiris, who ruled over the
First Time. Hans Jonas wrote in The Gnostic Religion that Osiris had the ability to walk on the
oceans and traveled around the globe bringing civilization to many nations. Osiris corresponds
to the Babylonian Tammuz, who was Nimrod of Genesis 11. This pagan deity was worshipped in
the wilderness by apostate Israel as Chiun, the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn (see
Amos 5:26; Strongs #3594), and as Tammuz before their removal to Babylon (Ezek. 8:14).

The god Saturn is represented by the misnamed Star of David, the six-pointed star which has
been the symbol of apostate, Cabalistic Judaism from antiquity to the present time. [See: The
Six-Pointed Star: The Mark of the Beast]
On the Great Seal of the United States there also appears a six-pointed star. Modern false
teachers with Judeo-Masonic leanings tell the tale of an American Jew who merited the honor of
having the symbol of apostate, Cabalistic Judaism inscribed on the Great Seal of the U.S. Haim
Solomons largesse turned the rag tag outfit of 33 Mason George Washington into the
professional army that won the Revolutionary War. Notice in John Hagees anecdote that some
of the funding for the American Revolution came from European Jews:
America has been blessed by the Jewish community. Let me take you back to a story of the
American revolution and Haim Solomon, a Philadelphia banker. When George Washington and
the Continental Army were fighting for their very lives in the snows of Valley Forge, they didnt
have enough food to eat, they didnt have enough weapons, they didnt have enough ammunition
to fight the British; it looked like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness would never happen.
Haim Solomon went to the Jewish people of America and the Jewish people of Europe and
raised millions of dollars and gave it to George Washington. That contribution turned the tide of
the American revolution. George Washington was so appreciative of Haim Solomons
contribution that he had the engravers of the American one dollar bill express his appreciation to
the Jewish people by placing this insignia over the head of the American eagle. It is the Mogan
David, the Star of David. In addition, around the Mogan David is the cloud burst of the Shekinah
Glory of God that was over the Tabernacle. If you turn it upside down, then you have the
Menorah. The contribution the Jewish people made to assist America in the war effort was one
that George Washington insisted that all Americans know about. (Christians Supporting Israel)
Modern prophet Rick Joyner, a crypto-Jew if there ever was one, uses the Haim Solomon
anecdote today to $windle Evangelical Christians to $upport the Zionist cause:
Haim Solomon, a Philadelphia Jewish banker, expended his personal fortune to support
George Washington and the Continental Army. He did this because he foresaw that the new

60

American nation would be a haven for persecuted Jews. I also mentioned previously that I
believed if the sum he had given, with appropriate compounded interest, were repaid to his
descendents, the Jewish people, that it would at least equal the aid that the United States has
given to Israel.
From information I have received, it appears that Haim Solomon gave nearly $2 million to
the support of George Washington and the Continental Army. This was a huge sum in the
currency of the times, equal to many millions in todays money. To repay this debt to his heirs,
with compounded interest, has been estimated to be around $4 trillion. I have not been able to
confirm these figures yet, but it seems that they are accepted by a number of people who have
studied this.
Historians also seem to confirm that it is unlikely that George Washington could have
succeeded without the aid from Haim Solomon. It came at possibly the most critical time of the
Revolutionary War for the Americans, while the Continental Army was trying to hold together
after repeated defeats, and was almost completely without supplies or other sources of support.
(MorningStar Ministries)
For evidence supporting the above charge of crypto-Jewry, see: Joint Prophecy of Rabbi Cohen
& Rick Joyner at Messiah 99
Was Haim Solomon a real historical character? Probably not. The Hebrew name Haim means
life and, of course, Solomon was the apostate king of Israel, whom the Masons revere along
with his Seal, falsely named the Star of David. Life of Solomon may be a veiled allusion to the
once and future King of Israel who will reign over a messianic Golden Age.
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six
talents of gold. (1 Kings 10:14)
THE JESUITS
In 1771, John Carroll (1735-1815), a Jesuit priest from a wealthy Maryland family, became a
professed father of the Society of Jesus and a professor at Bourges in France. In 1781, Fr. Carroll
founded the Sulpician Seminary in Baltimore and in 1789, the year the U.S. Constitution took
effect, founded Georgetown University, a Jesuit institution that was managed by the Sulpician
Order for a period of time. The Sulpicians were a heretical Catholic order whose headquarters
are located on the Zero Meridian in Paris, France. Remarkably, Saint Sulpice, like his
contemporary King Dagobert, converted the Jews of his diocese en masse to Christianity!
St Sulpice (d. c.647). This contemporary of St Dagobert also has his feast day on 17 January.
He was the second Bishop of Bourges, which is on the zero meridian of Paris, like Rennes-lesBains, and was successful in converting all the Jews of his diocese. He was the protg of the
goldsmith of St Eloi, Grand Vizier of Dagobert I. The famous seminary and church dedicated to
him in Paris contains the obelisk with the copper line down the centre marking the exact point of
the meridian. St Sulpice, in the grounds of St Germain-des-Pres (qv), had connections with the
Prieur from its foundation in 1642. (Ean Begg, The Cult of the Black Virgin, Arkana, 1985,
p.110)

61

Recall that the Zero Meridian is the 33 longitude. To understand the significance of this
meridian see The Lost Tribe of Dan, under Locations C. Territories of Dan in the Land of
Israel.
In 1790, John Carroll was appointed by the Roman Catholic Church to be the first Bishop of the
United States with the task of organizing the Catholic Church in the new nation. Bishop Carroll
encouraged Catholic religious orders to establish branches in the U.S. and, with the help of
George Washington, secured federal funds to send Catholic missionaries to the western territory.
John Carroll became an archbishop in 1808 and, under his leadership, the Catholic population of
the United States increased from 25,000 to 200,000.
John Carrolls brother, Daniel Carroll, was a framer and signer of the Constitution and a Mason
who participated in laying the Masonic cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol. The Catholic
Encyclopedia entry for Daniel Carroll states: Initially, he was prevented from becoming
involved in Maryland politics by laws that excluded Catholics from holding public office. Once
these laws were repealed in 1776, he was elected to the upper house of the Maryland legislature
(1777-1781). He was a delegate from Maryland to the Continental Congress (1781-1783) and
was one of the signers of the Articles of Confederation (1 Mar 1781).
The Carroll brothers were cousins of Charles Carroll, also a high ranking Mason as well as the
only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. All of the Carrolls, who were
colleagues of President George Washington, were educated at Jesuit institutions: the Jesuit
School at Bohemia on Harmons Manor in Maryland and the Jesuit college at St-Omer in French
Flanders. Charles went on to other Jesuit institutions of higher learning, the college of the Jesuits
at Reims and the College Louis le Grand at Paris. According to a Catholic expose of Masonic
infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church:
In the United States, founded as it was upon Masonic principles, infiltration is hardly the
appropriate word. Charles Carroll, a high ranking Mason and relative of the USAs first Bishop,
had been the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence. By 1895, Archbishop
Ireland could tell the French: I believe that a divine mission has been assigned to the Republic
of the United States. That mission is to prepare the world, by example and moral influence, for
the universal reign of human liberty and the rights of man (cited in Utopia, p. 113). (The
Catholic Church and Globalism, Carey J. Winters, Real Catholicism, 3/98)
How is it that the Vatican, which had an official policy that forbade Roman Catholics under
threat of excommunication from holding membership in Masonic lodges, and regularly issued
papal bulls against Freemasonryhow is it that Pope Pius VI appointed the Jesuit priest, John
Carroll, whose family was deeply involved in Freemasonry at the highest levels, as the first
Bishop of the U.S. with the charge of founding colleges, of establishing a Catholic hierarchy and
generally organizing the Catholic Church in the new nation? The answer may be found in the
origins of the Jesuits.
In fact the classical land of crypto-Jewry is Spain. Tradition there has been durable and
universal to such an extent that one must raise the suspicion that a Marranian receptivity is
present in the atmosphere of the land itself. Even at the time of the Romans the Jews were

62

numerous and influential. Many of them asserted that they were descended from the aristocracy
of Jerusalem, who had been deported by Titus or by earlier conquerors into banishment. (Cecil
Roth)
By the time of the Reformation, Jewish Cabalists were openly in control of the papacy, from
which they directed Cabalist operations throughout Western Christendom. (See Reformation
popes in our Pope Chart, a work in progress). Immediately preceding the Reformation, a
medieval version of the Hebrew Roots Movement shook Christendom, aided and abetted by
Pope Julius II (1503-1513):
It is indeed a well-known fact that the Reformation was achieved by Luther, Calvin and
Zwingli, but it is not so well-known that previously John Reuchlin (1455-1531), Pico de
Mirandolas disciple, shook the Christian conscience by suggesting as early as 1494 that there
was nothing higher than hebraic wisdom. And when in 1509 a renegade Jew, Joseph
Pffefferkorn, had the Talmud seized and finally obtained, after several attempts, the definitive
condemnation of this collective compendium which contains a thousand years of Jewish wisdom.
John Reuchlin did not shrink from exposing himself to every menace and danger in order to
defend before the Emperor and the Pope the extraordinary value of the Talmud, whose veritable
meaning he had fathomed. Reuchlin advocated returning to Jewish sources as well as to ancient
texts. Finally, he won his case against the convert Pfefferkorn, who loudly demanded the
destruction of the Talmud. The new spirit which was to revolutionize the whole of Europe
became apparent with regard to the Jews and the Talmud, wrote the historian Graetz. (Pinay)
In 1517, Martin Luthers 95 Theses commenced the Reformation and, in 1540, the Society of
Jesus was authorized by Pope Paul III to launch the Counter-Reformation. James Tragers
compendium, The Peoples Chronology, includes this stunning entry: In 1534 the Society of
Jesus (Jesuits) was founded by Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556) (a Marrano) and five associates
(1979, p.176).
Perhaps the most lucid overview of the evolution of the world government is the previously cited
article by Pastor John Torrell, who elaborates on the background of the founder of the Jesuits.
The following information is going to be a shock to all Roman Catholics. In 1491 San
Ignacio De Loyola was born in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa, Spain. His parents were
Marranos and at the time of his birth the family was very wealthy. As a young man he became a
member of the Jewish Illuminati Order in Spain. As a cover for his crypto Jewish activities, he
became very active as a Roman Catholic. On May 20, 1521 Ignatius (as he was now called) was
wounded in a battle, and became a semi-cripple. Unable to succeed in the military and political
arena, he started a quest for holiness and eventually ended up in Paris where he studied for the
priesthood. In 1539 he had moved to Rome where he founded the Jesuit Order, which was to
become the most vile, bloody and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1540, the
current Pope Paul III approved the order. At Loyolas death in 1556 there were more than 1000
members in the Jesuit order, located in a number of nations.
Setting up the Jesuit order, Ignatius Loyola devised an elaborate spy system, so that no one in
the order was safe. If there was any opposition, death would come swiftly. The Jesuit order not

63

only became a destructive arm of the Roman Catholic Church; it also developed into a secret
intelligence service. (How the World Government Rules the Nations)
The fact that the founder of the Society of Jesus, originally called The Company of Jesus,
was a Marrano Jew, should give us pause to reflect and to reassess the official party line that the
Jesuits is a Roman Catholic institution. As well, to wonder about the source of this propaganda
campaign, which is probably the Illuminati. Pastor Torell adds, While the Popes relied more
and more on the Jesuits, they were unaware that the hardcore leadership were Jewish, and that
these Jews held membership in the Illuminati Order which despised and hated the Roman
Catholic Church. This seems very generous of Rev. Torrell considering the popes of the
Reformation period. [See Pope Chart] The pope who authorized formation of the Society of
Jesus in 1540, as well as the Council of Trent conducted by the Jesuits from 1545 to 1563 to
crush the Reformation, was quite the reprobate.
According to Life magazine, Pope Paul III (1534-1549) as a cardinal had fathered three sons
and a daughter. On the day of his coronation he celebrated the baptism of his two greatgrandchildren. He appointed two of his teenage nephews as cardinals, sponsored festivals with
singers, dancers and jesters, and sought advice from astrologers.
In 2001, the Jesuit Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts sponsored Toward a Deeper
Understanding of Forgiveness, a seminar which featured James Bernauer, S.J. as a speaker. A
Professor of Philosophy at the Jesuit Boston College, Bernauer honored St. Ignatius for
welcoming Jews into the Society of Jesus and lauded the fact that his successor was Jewish.
(Interesting that Bernauer is aJewish surname.)
Ignatiuss devotion to the personal figure of Jesus saved him, and initially the Society, from a
most common prejudice: the view that Jewish converts to Christianity and their descendants, the
so called New Christians of Spain, were more Jewish than Christian for they were of impure
blood. Such tainted character justified their exclusion from Church posts and religious orders.
Ignatius courageously resisted ecclesiastical and political pressures and refused to exclude
Jewish converts or their descendants from the Societys ranks and, thus, some of the most
distinguished early Jesuits were Jewish... the Jesuit historian Francis Sacchini wrote in 1622 that
the second general of the Society, James Laynez, had Jewish ancestry, (After Christendom:
The Holocaust and Catholicisms Current Search for Forgiveness)
The early Generals of the Society of Jesus were suspected of having Jewish ancestry and ...in
1593...when the 5th General Congregation was about to open...of the 27 Jesuits who proposed
changes to the Constitutions, 25 were of either Jewish or Moorish descent. This would account
for the Jesuits partiality toward the Jews: ...the Jesuits...were then against the Inquisition... In
this case the organisation of St. Ignatius founded for the defence of the Church against her
enemies was led astray and occasioned to be exactly the opposite, to oppose the Inquisition,
which represented the principal defence of the Church and to tolerate its enemies. (Pinay,
p.617)
Roman Catholics should ponder the fact that, if this Company of Cabalist Jews was mobilized to
quash the Reformation, then the Protestants were, in reality, fleeing the High Cabal of crypto-

64

Jewry which controlled all of Europe through their religious front, the Roman Catholic Church.
That God was delivering His people, true Christians, from this Synagogue of Satan is the only
honest explanation for the Reformation.
A Biography of Ignatius Loyola states that, during his lifetime, there were suspicions of Ignatius
Hebrew ancestry which, of course, the good saint abjured:
[The Jesuits] were begun by a group of Spanish Christians, at a time when the reconquest of
Spain from the Moslems was but recently accomplished, and persons with Moorish or Jewish
ancestry were under suspicion. It is accordingly much to their credit that the Jesuits were firmly
opposed (particularly under Ignatius and his first three successors as Superior General of the
Jesuits) to ecclesiastical anti-Semitism and to the Inquisitions persecution of suspected Jews.
When Ignatius was accused of having partly Jewish ancestry, he replied, If only I did! What
could be more glorious than to be of the same blood as the Apostles, the Blessed Virgin, and our
Lord Himself?
A Chronology of the Life of St. Ignatius which reveals his devotion to the Black Virgin attests to
his membership in the Illuminati: Iigo went continuously to Montserrat to
confess...Montserrat, a Marian shrine (Black Virgin of ~) is a well known site of pilgrimage...
Iigo and his band of companions were rumoured to be Illuminists (Alumbrados), members of a
movement condemned by the Inquisition. Interrogations and arrest (17 days, no explanation)
followed. Spiritual Exercises suspected to be heretical. To comprehend the devotion of the
Illuminati high cabal, the Prieur de Sion, to the Black Virgin, including Montserrat in Spain,
the reader is referred to our report The False Gospel in the Stars.
Ignatius managed to escape the Inquisition probably due to the fact that, in the 15th century, the
papacy was securely in the hands of the Jewish Cabalists.

THE MEDICI
Towards the end of the XIIIth century the Anjou, who ruled Naples, introduced a general
conversion of Jews in their neighbourhood of the city of Trani. Under the name new-converts
(neophytes) the proselytes continued to live for three hundred years as crypto-Jews. Their secret
loyalty to Judaism was one of the motives for which reason the Inquisition became active in
Naples in the 16th century Some escaped to the Balkans, where they joined themselves with
the existing Jewish communities. Their descendants in south Italy still preserve some vague
memories of Judaism up to the present day. (Cecil Roth)
During the Renaissance, the Medici oligarchy revolutionized the political and religious climate
of Europe and Italy became a major catalyst for disseminating the occult traditions throughout
Europe in the guise of Neo-Platonism. In the 15th century, the Medici funded the Academy of
Florence, Italy to spread Hermetic Cabalism and to infiltrate the Vatican with this heresy. Several
of the Medici became popes and cardinals. Giulio de Medici (1478-1534) would become Pope
Clement VII, Alessandro de Medici (1535-1605) was Pope Leo XI and Giovanni de Medici,
Pope Leo X (1513-1521).
65

Lorenzo the Magnificent was the leader of Florence during the Renaissance. His second son,
Giovanni, became Pope Leo X at age 7 (they must have had big plans for Giovanni!). Leo X was
the pope who excommunicated Martin Luther and also bestowed upon Henry VIII the title of
Defender of the Faith. Leo managed to bankrupt the Vatican owing mainly to his program of
completely rebuilding St. Peters Basilica. As for his personal expenses, He spent only eight
thousand ducats ($18,400) per month on his table! For his inauguration festival Leo spent
100,000 ducats, 1/7th of the treasury that [Pope] Julius left. (Popedom) To recoup Church
revenues, Leo instituted the sale of indulgences, the issue that precipitated the Protestant
Reformation. In The Last Pope, John Hogue wrote of Giovanni de Medicis renovation of the
Vatican in the style of the High Renaissance:
Leo was a good administrator, a shrewd politician and at first it appears he was even chaste,
until he revealed his fondness for little boys... [he spent] the bulk of his seven-year pontificate
lavishing millions of ducats on the arts, legendary banquets and his grandiose building
projects...on the construction of a new St. Peters Basilica, which he intended to be the greatest
church in Christendom. The popes ears were deaf to the protests of his priests as he blessed the
demolition of old St. Peters with all of its priceless early Christian art treasures.
Bramantes design for the new St. Peters soon became Leos greatest money pit. [Pope]
Julius treasury was emptied, and even the booming business from 10,000 whores servicing a
citizenry of 50,000 in the papal brothels of Rome could not finance the raising of St. Peters
dome closer to heaven...
...the new basilica built in the Apostles name could not be finished unless he expanded the
indulgence scheme beyond all previous excesses of Sixtus IV. An army of Christian priestly
soldiers was issued from Rome, not to gather souls, but to bankroll a crusade to hoodwink the
simple people throughout Europe into thinking that they could purchase themselves and their
dearly departed a bargain ticked to Heaven. Salvation on the cheap. (pp.144-6)
Donato Bramante, the greatest architect of the Renaissance, did the fundamental work of
rebuilding St. Peters Basilica, which work was later carried on by Michelangelo. The new St.
Peters would reflect the new religion brought to Europe during the Renaissance, which was NeoPlatonism. In the rebuilt basilica, Michelangelos Pieta appears to be around twenty years of age,
and therefore cannot be the mother of Jesus, but Mary Magdalene. In planning St. Peters,
Bramante envisioned a church based upon a Greek cross (having arms of equal length) and
surmounted by a great dome.
According to The Sign of the Cross, an essay in the Hermetic Library, The equal armed cross
(+) was used to represent the four cardinal directions, elements, colors of mankind (Hopi lore),
as well as the Four Heavens of Zoroaster and its later variation in Jewish Qabbalah. When
circled it became the four seasons, stages of life, and all of the associations of life, death, and rebirth.
Additionally, the author, Mark Stavish, provides insight into the peculiar tradition of making the
sign of the cross (of which the Canons of Hippolytus tell the Christian: Sign thy forehead with
the sign of the cross in order to defeat Satan and to glory in thy Faith).

66

In his work, The Nature and Use of Ritual, Roche de Coppens quotes a masonic-rosicrucian
document in which Bishop Theodotus states:
When we say In the Name of the Father and place our fingers on the forehead, we actually
point to an important organ in our spiritual body just below the space where God dwells in us on
high. The vibrations set up in motion by our loving thought about our heavenly Father activates
the Divine Essence of the Crown which pours into our Heart center as a veritable though
unseen Glory (Shaft of White Light). This activation of the Crown itself is described by St.
Peter: Ye shall receive a Crown of Glory. When we say; And of the Son and place our fingers
on our heart, we again actually point to a space in our spiritual body where the Divine Light, in
the words of the Prophet Isaiah poured upon us from on high, is activating another spiritual
organ suffusing us with the Divine Love of the Son. And when we say: And of the Holy Spirit,
touching our right and left breast respectively, we activate these spiritual sensoria within us
which manifest as the creative and vitalizing power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Finally, when
we say: "Amen and join our hands together, mentally affirming the presence of the Triune God
within us, we actually close the spiritual currents within the periphery of our spiritual body in
order to maintain this awakening to spiritual awareness as long as possible. (S.R.I.A.
Documents)
The Merovingian dynasty were the masterminds behind the Renaissance: Ren [dAnjou] was
the Angevin monarch who, at the time of the renaissance, single-handedly spearheaded a
Hermetic revival in Europe. It was he who personally convinced Cosimo de Medici to translate
many ancient texts such as the Corpus Hermeticum into various European tongues for the first
time ever... The Angevins were primarily advocates of the Regia, or Royal Art, of hermeticism; a
tradition which according to legend was passed down to man by a race of fallen angels.
Anjou (pronounced an Jew!) was a Jewish province in France. The term Angevin or
Angevine is the name applied to two distinct medieval dynasties that originated from Anjou.
Angevin/Angevine is also associated with angels, which may explain why this Jewish bloodline
had more than just a passing interest in the writings of the Nephilim. The Angevins were a senior
branch (angel + vine) of the Merovingian bloodline whose members viewed themselves as divine
descendants of the fallen angels of Genesis 6. The Jesus-Mary Magdalene bloodline heresy is
really the exoteric doctrine of the Merovingian race, and an occult blind for religious masses; the
esoteric doctrine, known only to the initiated, is the descent of the Merovingian race from the
fallen angels of Genesis 6. Which explains why the founder of the dynasty, King Merovee, is
said to have been sired by mysterious sea beast, Pallas or i.e. the beast out of the sea, per Rev.
13:1. A book titled King John 1167-1216 by W. L. Warren, depicts the Angevins as literally
having demonic ancestry:
The violent temper of the Angivins, their vicious reaction being thwarted, was almost
pathological in its intensity... From the Devil they came, growled St. Bernard, and to the Devil
they will return. There were many who agreed with him. Popular gossip told of their descent
from a devilish ancestress...
In his book, The Top Thirteen Illuminati Bloodlines, Fritz Springmeier connected the Medici
with other Merovingians as co-founders of the Prieur de Sion:

67

The original start of the Prieur de Sion appears to have been the idea of a number of powerful
bloodlines, and included various descendents of the Merovingians, including the House of
Lorraine, the House of Guise, the Medicis, Sforzas, the Estes, the Gonzagas, and the St. Clairs
(Sinclairs). The Medicis are tied to the Black Nobility also.
From the beginning the Prieur de Sion has been committed to Hermetic Magic... Ren d
Anjou, a descendant of the Merovingians persuaded Cosimo de Medici to establish in c. 1444 a
non-church library at San Marco where Plato, Pythagorean works, and books on Hermetic Magic
were translated. Up until this time, the Catholic church had control of all the libraries. It was
from Cosimo de Medicis library that the spark of Greek and Egyptian teachings set off what
developed into the Renaissance, which was a revival of humanism and the occult. It appears that
during the Middle Ages, witchcraft and the mystery religions had seriously dissolved to the point
that these modes of thought had to be relearned from the ancient writings. Interestingly, the
Middle Ages when witchcraft and paganism were dissolving have been branded the Dark Ages
by the establishment, and inaccurately painted as a time when learning went out. (p.79)
The Prieur de Sion is the secret society in Paris which oversees all other secret societies. It is
the mysterious Illuminati, which had its origins in the Society of Ormus which was birthed in
Alexandria, Egypt, whence it relocated to Calabria, Italy. (The terms Illuminati and Ormus both
mean illumined or enlightened.) These were the Calabrian monks who, in 1070 AD,
removed to Ardennes Forrest in France, and settled on the domains of Godfroi de Bouillon on
land owned by St. Bernard of Clairvaux, founder of the Cistercians and author of the Rule of the
Templars. A procession of Illuminati is discernible throughout history, from ancient Egypt,
whence the apostate Jews (Therapeutae and Essenes) of Alexandria founded schools of
Gnosticism.
A recent PBS documentary about the infamous Medici family was titled The Medici:
Godfathers of the Renaissance. According to the series, the Medici were the original Mafia
which rose to power with all the finesse of Italian mobsters.
The Medici didnt start out as the most powerful family in Italy. Other families were just as
rich, and just as ambitious. But no one knew more about getting ahead - and staying ahead - than
the Medici. They clawed their way to the top, sometimes through bribery, corruption and
violence. Those who stood in their way could end up humiliated - or dead... Governing Florence
like a medieval mafia, the power of the Medici stretched all the way to Rome, where even the
papacy was something to be bought and sold. They were the Godfathers of the Renaissance.
The Medici created a lucrative partnership with another medieval power, the Catholic
Church. In what had to be one of the most ingenious enterprises of all time, the Medici bank
collected 10% of your earnings for the Church. If you couldnt pay, you faced excommunication
- a one-way ticket to hell. The Pope himself had a massive overdraft, and the Medici bank
became the most profitable business in Europe. By 1434, half the banks revenue came from the
Rome branch, which was in fact little more than a mobile bank that followed the Pope around
the world. Papal connections gave the Medici bank immense power, soon everyone wanted an
account with the Popes personal bank. On one occasion the nomination of a new bishop was
delayed, until his father - a Cardinal - had repaid their debts to the Medici bank. And the
Medici kept ahead of their banking rivals because of the invention of limited liability. Giovanni
di Bicci had set up a franchise system, where regional branch managers shared a stake in the

68

business. Giovanni also banned loans to princes and kings, who were notoriously bad
investments. Consequentially, the Medici business remained in the black while its competitors
lost fortunes. (The Medici)
Special research projects are now being undertaken to translate and publish documents from the
Archives of the Medici Grand Dukes of Tuscany (1537-1743), which are housed in the Archivio
di Stato in Florence. One major project is the Jewish Initiative in the area of Jewish History,
Religion and Culture. The Jews and the Medici affirms that while the Medici were in power,
from 1537 to 1737, Jews were well protected in Tuscany, the region of northern Italy where
Florence, the centre of the Renaissance, is located. This alone suggests that the Renaissance was
actually a revival of Jewish culture, and in particular, Hermetic Cabalism.
The fate of Tuscan Jewry in the early modern period was inextricably linked to the favor and
the fortune of the House of Medici. Though a Jewish presence was registered in Lucca as early
as the ninth century and a network of Jewish banks had spread throughout the region by the midfifteenth, the organized Jewish communities of Florence, Siena, Pisa and Livorno were political
creations of the Medici rulers. And like the Medici Grand Dukedom itself, these communities
took shape in the course of the sixteenth century.
In the 1490s, under the Catholic theocracy of Fra Girolamo Savonarola, both the Medici and
the Jews were expelled from Florentine territory. When the Medici returned to power in 1512,
the Jewish ban fell into abeyance, until the next expulsion of the Medici in 1527. In 1537
Cosimo deMedici seized definitive control of the Florentine government and reorganized it as a
princely statethe Dukedom (later Grand Dukedom) of Tuscany. This state flourished for two
hundred years, under seven successive Medici rulers: Cosimo I, 1537-1574; Francesco I, 15741587; Ferdinando I, 1587-1609; Cosimo II, 1609-1621; Ferdinando II, 1621-1670; Cosimo III,
1670-1723; Gian Gastone, 1723-1737.
As a sovereign prince, Cosimo I was free to dictate new terms of Jewish resettlement
according to his own best interests and those of his regime. Coming from a merchant family
himself, Cosimo I recognized the vast potential of Jewish capital and Jewish entrepreneurship,
dispersed by the Iberian expulsion of the 1490s. By the mid-1540s, less than ten years after he
gained the throne, Cosimo I began recruiting affluent Spanish and Portuguese Jews for
resettlement in his capital city of Florence and his chief port city of Pisa. At the same time, many
displaced Italian Jews who were neither bankers nor wealthy merchants came to Tuscany as well,
particularly after the final expulsion of the Neapolitan community in 1540 and the creation of
ghettos in the Papal cities of Rome and Ancona in 1555. (Medici Archive Project)
Not only are the Medici archives being unearthed...according to the Discovery Channel, No
fewer than 50 members of the family that dominated the Florentine Renaissance are to be
exhumed in the attempt to unveil their last secrets, Italian authorities have announced.... Starting
from June, corpses will be removed from the monumental tombs in the Medici Chapels at
Michelangelos church of San Lorenzo in Florence, allowing scientists to reconstruct the
dynastys genetic make-up and their real family tree.
What sinister motive lies behind reconstructing the genetic composition of this medieval
oligarchy? We have already identified the Medici as members of the Merovingian bloodline,
which claims to be direct descendants of the house of David. It seems that genetics research is

69

now being conducted to determine Jewish descent, and even to identify and locate the lost tribes
of Israel.
The June 6, 2000 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)
published a study by scientists from the U.S., Israel, England, ITALY, and South Africa which
showed that Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Ychromosome biallelic haplotypes that is not found in non-Jews outside of the Middle East.
According to the study, despite the complex history of Jewish migration in the Diaspora (starting
with the Assyrian captivity in 722 B.C.), Jewish communities have generally not intermarried
with non-Jewish populations. Due to their isolation, Jewish men from different regions of the
world share the same genetic signatures in their Y chromosome, which differs significantly from
non-Semitic men.
The Center For Cohanim, Jerusalem, discovered a Cohen Modal Hapoltype (CMH) which is
purported to be the standard genetic signature of the Cohen family who claim to be of the Tribe
of Levi, the ancient priestly line of Israel:
...genetic studies of diverse present day Jewish communities show a remarkable genetic
cohesiveness... A common geographical original can be seen for all mainstream Jewish groups
studied. Using the CMH as a DNA signature of the ancient Hebrews, researchers are pursuing a
hunt for Jewish genes around the world. This could have ramifications in the search for the
Biblical Ten Lost Tribes. Using the genetic markers of the Cohanim as a yardstick, these genetic
archaeologists are using DNA research to discover historical links to the Jewish people. (Aish
HaTorah)
THE SABBATEANS
The Medici political dynasty ruled Italy from 1537 to 1737. In 1665 there were reports of the
arrival of the Messiah in the person of Shabbetai Zvi. A Turkish Jew of Spanish descent,
Shabbetai Zvis prophecies, visions and miracles deceived more than half of world Jewry that he
was the promised messiah. Livorno, Italy, in Medici-ruled Tuscany was just one of the
communities which sent an envoy to Smyrna to pay homage to the messianic king. In April of
1666, many Jewish families traveled to Livorno from Rome, Verona and Germany to embarque
to find their Messia. Although the English Millenarianists were greatly responsible for agitating
Jewish hysteria with false messianic hopes, it appears that the Jewish Zionists manipulated the
Protestants, who knew the Bible foretold the return of the Jews to Israel, to prematurely regain
their lost inheritance:
During the first half of the seventeenth century some extravagant notions of the near approach
of the Messianic time, and more especially of the redemption of the Jews and their return to
Jerusalem, were set forth by Christian writers and entertained by Jews and Christians alike. The
so-called apocalyptic year was assigned by Christian authors to the year 1666. This belief was so
predominant that Manasseh b. Israel in his letter to Cromwell and the English Parliament did not
hesitate to use it as a motive for his plea for the readmission of the Jews into England, remarking
that the opinions of many Christians and mine do concur herein, that we both believe that the

70

restoring time of our Nation into their native country is very near at hand (see Grtz, Gesch. x.,
note 3, pp. xxix. et seq.). (Jewish Encyclopedia)
Shabbetai Zvi (1626-76) was a practitioner of Cabala, according to the Jewish Encyclopedia,
with its asceticism, and its mortification of the body, whereby its devotees claimed to be able to
communicate with God and the angels, to predict the future, and to perform all sorts of
miracles. This false messiah was only one of many practicing Cabalists who have impressed the
Jews through the centuries with their magical abilities. Adepts of Cabala were called Masters of
the Name or Baal Shems, the designation of certain magicians who were believed to work
miracles through the name of God. Belief in the miraculous power of the Sacred Name has a
2,000 year old history; but the designation Baal Shem seems to have originated only with the
German-Polish Jews when they became acquainted with the Lurianic school of practical Cabala.
Nesta Webster described in her work, Secret Societies and Subversive Movements: how the
miracles and fame of the Baal Shem eventuated in the widespread acceptance of a false
messiah:
Since the sixteenth century the great mass of Jewry had settled in Poland, and a succession
of miracle-workers known by the name of Zaddikim or Baal Shems had arisen. The latter word,
which signifies Master of the Name, originated with the German Polish Jews and was derived
from the Cabalistic belief in the miraculous use of the sacred name of Jehovah, known as the
Tetragrammaton.
According to Cabalistic traditions, certain Jews of peculiar sanctity or knowledge were able
with impunity to make use of the Divine Name. A Baal Shem was therefore one who had
acquired this power and employed it in writing amulets, invoking spirits, and prescribing cures
for various diseases. Poland and particularly Podoliawhich had not yet been ceded to Russia
became thus a centre of Cabalism where a series of extraordinary movements of a mystical kind
followed each other. In 1666, when the Messianic era was still believed to be approaching, the
whole Jewish world was convulsed by the sudden appearance of Shabbethai Zebi, the son of a
poulterer in Smyrna named Mordecai, who proclaimed himself the promised Messiah and rallied
to his support a huge following not only amongst the Jews of Palestine, Egypt, and Eastern
Europe, but even the hard-headed Jews of the Continental bourses. Samuel Pepys in his Diary
refers to the bets made amongst the Jews in London on the chances of a certain person now in
Smyrna, being acclaimed King of the World and the true Messiah. (Case of Sabbatai Zevi)
In September of 1666, as many Jews from Europe were making pilgrimages to meet their
messiah, the Turkish sultan, Mohammed IV, having learned of Shabbetai Zvis treasonous
activities, put the would-be messiah to a test, whereupon he promptly converted to Islam and
denied his messianic claimsto the shock and disillusionment of nearly the entire Jewish
Diaspora.
...Shabbethai, who was an expert Cabalist and had the temerity to utter the Ineffable Name
Jehovah, was said to be possessed of marvelous powers, his skin exuded exquisite perfume, he
indulged perpetually in sea-bathing and lived in a state of chronic ecstasy. The pretensions of
Shabbethai, who took the title of King of the Kings of the Earth, split Jewry in two; many
Rabbis launched imprecations against him and those who had believed in him were bitterly
disillusioned when, challenged by the Sultan to prove his claim to be the Messiah by allowing

71

poisoned arrows to be shot at him, he suddenly renounced the Jewish faith and proclaimed
himself a Mohammedan. (Ibid.)
Notwithstanding his profession of belief in Islam, Shabbetai Zvi did not actually embrace the
Islamic faith but, in the tradition of his Marrano forefathers, proceeded to function as a spiritual
cross-dresser and double agent:
His conversion, however, appeared to be only partial, for at times he would assume the role of
the pious Mohammedan and revile Judaism; at others he would enter into relations with Jews as
one of their own faith. By this means the he retained the allegiance both of Moslems and of the
Jews. (Ibid.)
Meanwhile Sabbatai secretly continued his plots, playing a double game. At times he would
assume the role of a pious Muslim and revile Judaism; at others he would enter into relations
with Jews as one of their own faith. Thus in March, 1668, he pronounced anew that he had been
filled with the Holy Spirit at Passover and had received a revelation. He, or one of his followers,
published a mystic work addressed to the Jews in which the most fantastic notions were set forth,
e.g., that he was the true Messiah, in spite of his conversion, his object being to bring over
thousands of Muslims to Judaism. To the sultan he said that his activity among the Jews was to
bring them over to Islam. He therefore received permission to associate with his former
coreligionists, and even to preach in their synagogues. He thus succeeded in bringing over a
number of Muslims to his Kabbalistic views, and, on the other hand, in converting many Jews to
Islam, thus forming a Judaeo-Turkish sect whose followers implicitly believed in him...
Although rather little is known about them, various groups called Donmeh (Turkish for
apostate) continue to follow Sabbatai Zevi today. Estimates of the numbers vary up to 15,000,
mostly in Turkey with some in Greece. (Wikipedia)
The antinomian philosophy of Shabbetai Zvi is the subject of an article titled Deutsch Devils
by Israeli journalist, Barry Chamish, who cites other Jewish sources, beginning with 50 Jewish
Messiahs by Jerry Rabow, while interjecting his own comments (**). (This is not an
endorsement of Barry Chamish.)
[Shabatai Zvi] declared that the coming of the messianic era meant that the biblical
commandments were no longer binding. He proclaimed that God now permitted everything.
** This is Rabbi Antelmans central assertion; that Shabbataism was the polar opposite of
Judaism. That Shabatai Zvis program was to destroy all the tenets of the Torah and replace them
with their opposites. Incredibly, more than half the Jews of the world at the time, believed he
would be revealed as their promised messiah: **. . .
pp 101 - Then he finally made the announcement for which the Jewish community had been
waiting for 1600 years - he would begin the Redemption on the 15th day of the month of Sivan,
June 18, 1666

** The Shabatai followers continued their hidden life in the Turkish sect of the Donmeh, whose
activities continue to this day, as reported extensively this year, even by the staid Jerusalem
Post...**
pp 121 - The Donmeh now converted the Shabbatain Purim into an annual orgy, when members
exchanged spouses for a ceremony called extinguishing the lights. The Donmeh justified their
Purim orgies, and their regular practise of sharing wives and engaging in other sexual activities,
by citing biblical precedents.
Here is an example of how signs and lying wonders are able to deceive the religious masses,
even though the miracle worker has flagrantly denied the faith, violated the trust of his followers
and exhibited a reprobate character. Moral liberation is often the rallying call of false prophets,
the foremost prophet of antinomianism being Aleister The Beast Crowley, whose Book of the
Law codified the moral values of the occult by reducing them to a single illusory precept: Do
what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Shabbetai Zvi was also a prototype of the Antichrist, who will be a vile person (Dan. 11:21)
and practitioner of Cabbalistic magick and whose miracles will deceive the Jews with even
greater success. The Antichrist will be an adept in the occult traditions, possessing hidden
knowledge (gnosis) and all the power of Satan for his supernatural displays of witchcraft:
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of
fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be
mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and
practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall
cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall
destroy many. Daniel 8:23-25 (KJV)
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his
mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority. - Rev. 13:2 (KJV)
THE FRANKISTS
Following the death of Shabbati Zevi, one of his disciples, Jacob Frank (1726-91), perpetuated
the Sabbatean movement which continued to sponsor large numbers of Jewish converts to
Roman Catholicism as well as Islam, thereby establishing an extensive network of crypto-Jewry.
Jewish infiltrators of Roman Catholicism and Islam outwardly feigned reverence for the forms
and doctrine of their adopted religions, which they had every intention of undermining from
within the camp. According to Ben Zion Wacholder, Ph.D. author of Jacob Frank and the
Frankist Hebrew Zoharic Letters, Frank was a radical antinomian Kabbalist who had led a
sect known as the Zoharites. Jacob Franks letters to his disciples were instructions for
destroying Christianity:
Frank foresaw the doom of Europes Jewry unless the Jews adopted the holy faith of Edom,
i.e. Christianity. The conversion to Christianity, however, was to serve as an instrument leading
73

to Christianitys ultimate defeat. The patriarch Jacob, reincarnated as Frank, was destined to rise
as Israels leader in its war against Edom...
Frank says that anyone who is truly a descendant of the patriarchs must undergo baptism in
order to merit the consolations announced by the prophets of old. But for the discerning, he
announces Jacobs ultimate victory over Esau on the way to Zion. This appears to be the
meaning of the statement that anyone who accepts the faith of Rome...will merit the
consolations promised by Isaiah and all the prophets. Conversion to Christianity was a
necessary, if evil, prerequisite for Israels redemption. (Donmeh-West)
Barry Chamishs articles corroborate Rev. Torells assertion that the old Marrano families are
still with us today and that Jewish infiltrators are strategically placed in political and religious
institutions expressly for the purpose of implementing the Illuminist (Judeo-Masonic) agenda.
By way of Rabbi Antelman, Chamish also divulged the Frankists modus operandi, namely,
through false conversions and phony renunciations of Judaism, gaining the trust of the
ecclesiastical powers which obtained for them the protection of the State to carry out their
seditious plans:
pp 123 - Although Jacob Frank (1726-1791) was born fifty years after the death of Shabbatai
Zvi, he deserves to be regarded as Shabbatais true successor.
pp 125 - Franks followers requested ecclesiastic protection on the grounds that their own
beliefs were not Jewish but rather, anti-Talmudist...The bishop declared that the antiTalmudists, Franks followers, were entitled to practise their religion, and ordered that all copies
of the Talmud within his diocese be seized and burned. Now under the protection of the crown,
adoring followers gave Frank huge donations to his movement.
pp 127 -...Frank convinced his followers that the only way for their special form of Judaism to
survive was for them to outwardly become Christians, just as the Donmeh had descended into
the world of Islam...In February, 1759, the Frankists told the Church they were ready to be
baptized...The Frankists promised to deliver 5000 new Christians from Poland, Moravia,
Hungary and Turkey.
Still quoting Rabbi Antelman, Deutsch Devils now transitions from the religious initiatives of
the Sabbateans and Frankists to the political agenda of Jacob Frank.
pp 130 - The Frankists also became involved in international political intrigue, and sent secret
emissaries to the Russian government and the Eastern Orthodox Church offering to help in the
overthrow of Poland and the Catholic Church...By 1786, Frank suffered temporary financial
problems, and moved his court to Offenbach, near Frankfurt. There Franks money problems
were somehow solved. The source of Franks immense wealth is not clear. He may have used his
movements system of secret messengers and clandestine cells to engage in the constant political
turmoil involving Austria-Hungary, Turkey and the Balkans.
It seems that Jacob Frank then began collaborating with Adam Weishaupt, the Jewish Jesuit who
is generally believed to have founded the Illuminati in 1776, although this is not quite the case.
The parents of Adam Weishaupt were Marranos who had converted from Judaism to Roman

74

Catholicism and enrolled their son in Jesuit training. The reader will notice that Weishaupt, a
Jesuit, named his organization after the Illuminati order founded by the Alumbrado to which the
founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius of Loyola, belonged. It is a common practice of conspiratorial
organizations to slink underground when exposed or discredited, and create new fronts in order
to diffuse public perception of the greater conspiracy which is still intact. Rev. John Torell has
explained the evolution of the Illuminati which created different fronts that were customdesigned for Marrano activity, having at first a Roman Catholic facade, and then a political front.
In order for the reader to understand that events do not just happen... The Illuminati Order was
not invented by Adam Weishaupt, but rather renewed and reformed. The first known Illuminati
order (Alumbrado) was founded in 1492 by Spanish Jews, called Marranos, who were also
known as crypto-Jews.... In 1491 San Ignacio De Loyola was born in the Basque province of
Guipuzcoa, Spain. His parents were Marranos and at the time of his birth the family was very
wealthy. As a young man he became a member of the Jewish Illuminati Order in Spain. As a
cover for his crypto Jewish activities, he became very active as a Roman Catholic... In 1539 he
had moved to Rome where he founded the Jesuit Order... (How the World Government Rules
the Nations)
THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD
Jesuit Adam Weishaupt and Sabbatean Jacob Frank, both having established viable subversive
movements, were at that point, if they had not been heretofore, bankrolled by another Cabalist
Jew, Meyer Amschel Rothschild, toward the end of subverting traditional Judaism, as well as
Christianity:
...the Jewish Cabalistic leaders were able to establish a control over all world banking
through the Rothschild family, and...the political power was captured through the work of Adam
Weishaupt. Here is how it was done: Meyer Amschel (a rabbinically trained German Jew who
later took the name Rothschild) was firmly established in the German city, Frankfurt am Main,
with an emerging banking house as early as 1764. The leader of the Cabala at that time, Jakob
Frank (a Polish born Jew with the family name of Leibowicz) lived in the German city of
Offenbach (just south of the city of Frankfurt) from 1773. Johann Adam Weishaupt (from a
Jewish family that had converted to the Roman Catholic Church) was at Ingolstadt in 1770, a
German city in Bavaria. With these three men, the stage was set to ignite a hell fire that would
forever bring changes to the world.
At this point in time, it is not known who supervised these three Jewish men, but it is
obvious that someone directed their efforts. On May 1, 1776, just two months before the
Declaration of Independence in America, the Order of Illuminati was founded by Weishaupt. At
this time Weishaupt was 28 years old, Amschel was 32 years old and Frank was 50 years old.
Meyer Amschel financed Adam Weishaupt and Jakob Frank laid the cabalisic theological
foundation for the Order of the Illuminati. (Ibid.)
We believe that the august body directing this evil triumvirate from behind the scenes was the
Prieur de Sion, just as presently the secret societies are organized and work in harmony under
the direction of this high cabal. Before his incarceration in a federal prison, Fritz Springmeier
wrote in The Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines: The Prieur de Sion - the Elders of Sion also relates

75

to the Rothschilds who are reported to serve on a Jewish council of Elders of Sion... (p.152)
Springmeier referenced George Armstrongs book, The Rothschild Money Trust, p. 196, which
states That is the present objective of Jeroboam Rothschild and his secret 300 Elders of Zion....
And according to Eric Samuelson, Jeroboam Rothschild represented France in the Paris Peace
Conference in 1919 under a Gentile surname. Also located in Paris was the Prieur de Sion.
Beer was the American expert on colonial questions at the Peace Conference in Paris. With
Lord Eustace Percy, he drew up the plan for the History of the Peace Conference which was
carried out by Harold Temperley. The British Round Table group served at the conference as
advisers to Prime Minister David Lloyd George. [The real behind- the-scene experts at the Paris
conference included M. (Georges) Mandel (real name Jereboam Rothschild) (France), Phillip
Sassoon (1888-1939) (England) and Bernard Baruch (U.S.).] Beer was named head of the
Mandate Department of the League of Nations as soon as it was established. (Mystery Man:
George Louis Beer)
In 1776, Meyer Amschel Rothschild would have been the kingpin of the Prieur de Sion, even
though he is not listed as the Grand Master and is also never mentioned in books exposing the
Prieur de Sion, such as Holy Blood, Holy Grail, The Messianic Legacy, etc. which their authors
promote as meticulously researched. The Prieur de Sion or Priory of Zion is no doubt a
religious front for the Learned Elders of Zion, the high cabal of International Jewry responsible
for the Protocols of Zion, a strategy for world domination. Adam Weishaupt said of the
Illuminati, another front for the Learned Elders of Zion: As in the spiritual Orders of the Roman
Church, religion was, alas! only a pretense, so must our Order also in a nobler way try to conceal
itself behind a learned society or something of the kind.... (Webster, Secret Societies &
Subversive Movements, p. 222)
Anyone who has read the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion can discern the Rothschild
plan and modus operandi for world conquest. Protocol #5, section 4 bears an uncanny
resemblance to the Illuminati plan to secretly direct the Jesuits from behind the scenes, whilst
discrediting the so-called Society of Jesus as a Roman Catholic, i.e. Gentile, organization. The
same dialectical tactic is in use today:
4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by means of cleverly manipulated
theory and verbiage, by regulations of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in all which
the GOYIM understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of our administrative brain.
Reared on analysis, observation, on delicacies of fine calculation, in this species of skill we have
no rivals, any more than we have either in the drawing up of plans of political actions and
solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone might have compared with us, but we have contrived
to discredit them in the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization, while we ourselves
all the while have kept our secret organization in the shade. However, it is probably all the same
to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our despot of the
blood of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from being a matter of indifference.
The House of Rothschild is acknowledged to be the hidden hand behind the Protocols, the
Illuminati and the Order or Priory of Zion. Rothschild is an eponym for Ruths Child,
referring to Ruth in the lineage of David and Solomon. In the Old Testament, Ruth, the Moabite

76

widow, married Boaz and bore Obed, who became the grandfather of David. In Merovingian lore
and Freemasonry, the Son of the Widow is the descendant of Ruth who is believed to be the
messiah. Judeo-Freemasonry in fact teaches that Solomon was the Messiah.
The Lion that guarded the Ark and held in his mouth the key wherewith to open it, figuratively
represents Solomon, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, who preserved and communicated the key
to the true knowledge of God, of His laws, and of the profound mysteries of the moral and
physical Universe... The lion [ ,, Arai, Araiah, which also means the altar] still

holds in his mouth the key of the enigma of the sphynx. Albert Pike, Morals &
Dogma, p. 210
The 121 Elders of the Priory of Zion appear to be the overlords of Bnai Brith, which means
Sons of the Covenant.
According to well-informed sources, there is in the Bnai Brith a super-position of secret
societies ending in a single governing power. Above the B'nai B'rith are the Bnai Moshe, then
the Bnai Zion, and finally the hidden center of supreme command." (Leon de Poncins, The
Secret Powers Behind the Revolution)
THE ZIONISTS

Returning to Deutsch Devils, although Barry Chamish exposes the Sabbateans and
Frankists, he lacks the perspective that the Jesuits were not a Gentile organization, but
Jewish from the start. One must bear in mind that Chamish is himself a Zionist who
rejects, not the Jewish state, but merely the secular-leftist associations of Labor
Zionism. This Israeli journalist is in favor of a religious or right-wing Zionism which
is more devoted to military expansion of the state of Israel than even the Labor
Zionists.
We continue in Deutsch Devils with the Zionist Movement, the final act in the destruction of
Judaism by the High Cabal.
...It was from Germany to London that the apostate Jews Karl Marx and Frederick Engels
were sent to devise the rot of communism. Shortly after that task was done, the Rothschilds sent
their agents John Jacob Astor and Jacob Schiff from Germany to America. They financed the
robber barons like Rockefeller and Morgan, who in 1922, founded the Council on Foreign
Relations, to overthrow the American constitution and switch the nations diplomacy to
Illuminatiism.
THE REAL WAR AGAINST THE JEWS AND HUMANITY
In 1932, how many organizations in Germany represented German Jewry? Over 250. In
1933, how many? One, and one only; Labour Zionism. We will return to the significance shortly.
First, Rabbi Antelmans account continues. To corrupt the Jews, the Frankists adopted, at
first, a humane policy of sorts. With Rothschild money and Jesuit power, the so-called
Enlightenment was initiated by the German Jewish apostate Moses Mendelsohn. Napolean was
financed to liberate the Jews wherever he conquered and from Germany, the Reform and
77

Conservative movements were financed to further dilute the faith and introduce totally foreign
concepts to their congregations. But the pace wasnt fast enough. The ornery Jews just werent
cooperating with evil, so those stubbornly accepting Torah morality would have to be removed
permanently and only those practising Shabbatainism would be permitted to survive.
Yes, in the 2000 years of European Jewish history there were pogroms, Crusades and
Inquisitions, the latter aided and abetted by the Jesuits. But compared to what happened from the
1880s on, life was a tolerable picnic. The turning point in the final war against the Jews was the
founding of Zionism by the Shabbataians. The final aim of the movement was to establish a
Shabbataian state in the historical land of the Jews, thus taking over Judaism for good.
To foment the idea, life had to made so intolerable for Europes Jews, that escape to
Palestine would appear to be the best option. The Cossack pogroms were the first shot in this
campaign and for them, the Frankists turned to the Jesuits and their influence over the Catholic
Church. The Jesuits had done more to spread communism, beginning with their feudal
communes in South America, and now they wanted to punish the anti-papists of Europe by
imprisoning them behind communal bars. The deal was simple: The Jesuits provided the
pogroms, the Frankists the communists. And naturally, the Rothschilds would provide the
moolah...
Incredibly, the Zionists controlled the refugee policy so that only politically-minded Zionist Jews
were permitted to emigrate to Israel. Trapped in Nazi-occupied territories were those religious
Jews who opposed the Zionist Movement, many for the Biblical reason that the Messianic
kingdom would not be established until the Messiah arrived. Jews against Zionism were
represented by an organization called Agudas Yisroel, that was founded in 1912, but sold out to
the Zionists and was superseded by a splinter organization, Neturei Karta, founded in Jerusalem
in 1938. Compounding the tragedy of the Holocaust was the fact that many countries, including
most of the Allied nations, closed their borders to Jewish immigration. In his book, The SixPointed Star, O.J. Graham elucidated the selective policy of the Zionists:
From the records it seems that from 1933 to 1939, the Jews were expected to leave Germany
and all Nazi-occupied territories. At the same time, there was a very definite selection system
and a very restrictive immigration policy on who went to Palestine, headed by the Zionists. After
1939, it seems the annihilation camps were set up to rid Germany of those Jews who did not
make it to Palestine or anywhere else... Lucy Dawidowicz, in her book, The War Against the
Jews, had this to say: At their 18th Congress in 1933, the Zionists established within the Jewish
agency for Palestine a Central Bureau for the Settlement of German Jews, which, to begin with,
excluded anti-Zionists as applicants for certificates.
Young people in good health with some training for agricultural work or manual trades and
person with capital were the preferred candidates for Aliya in a process where the needs and
interests of Palestine took precedence over the strategy of rescue. Nathan Birnbaum was an
early Zionist; in fact, he was the one who coined the term Zionism. He was also present with
Herzl at the First Congress at Basel. Birnbaum left the movement in 1899 and became
completely orthodox and absolutely hostile to the Zionist Movement. In his paper titled In
Bondage to Our Fellow Jew, he writes:
It seems, that we are better qualified with our bondage to the Gentiles than with our bondage
to our brothers who are estranged from the Torah and its teachings. When our own estranged
brothers, who, next to us, are the mere grain, not only persecute us but themselves give a handle

78

to our persecution; when they not only meddle in our affairs but take them wholly out of our
hands; when they not only refuse to let us go our ways in peace, but actually try to obstruct our
road forever. Birnbaum wrote these words in 1901...
Michael Selzer in his book Zionism Reconsidered, says: Not even the events of 1933
aroused their political interest. [He refers to the Zionist Organization.] They were naive enough
to see them as a God-sent opportunity for an undreamt-of wave of immigration to Palestine.
When the Zionist Organization against the natural impulses of the Jewish people, decided to do
business with Hitler, to trade German goods against the wealth of German Jewry, to flood the
Palestine market with German products and thus make a mockery of the boycott against
German-made articles, they found little opposition in the Jewish National Homeland, and least of
all among its aristocracy -- the so-called Kibutniks... How many Jews know these facts?
211:72-8

Another eye-opener is evidence that Adolf Hitler was not only Jewish, but the great grandson of
a Rothschild. During World War II, A Psychological Analysis of Adolph Hitler: His Life and
Legend was published by Walter Langer of the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) as an
attempt to screen the wealth of contradictory, conflicting and unreliable material concerning
Hitler into strata which will be helpful to the policy-makers and those who wish to frame a
counter-propaganda. Or, to use Langers words, how did a crazy paperhanger manage in the
course of a relatively few years, to talk his way into the highest political offices, hoodwink the
experienced leaders of the major powers, turn millions of highly civilized people into barbarians,
order the extermination of a large segment of the population, build and control the mightiest war
machine ever known, and plunge the world into historys most devastating war? (Background)
The only explanation can be that Hitler had family connections in high places:
Adolphs father, Alois Hitler, was the illegitimate son of Maria Anna Schicklgruber. It is
generally supposed that the father of Alois Hitler was a Johann Georg Hiedler, a millers
assistant. Alois, however, was not legitimized, and bore his mothers name until he was forty
years of age when he changed it to Hitler...
There are some people who seriously doubt that Johann Georg Hiedler was the father of
Alois. Thyssen and Koehler, for example, claim that Chancellor Dollfuss had ordered the
Austrian police to conduct a thorough investigation into the Hitler family. As a result of this
investigation a secret document was prepared which proved that Maria Anna Schicklgruber was
living in Vienna at the time she conceived. At that time she was employed as a servant in the
home of Baron Rothschild. As soon as the family discovered her pregnancy she was sent back to
her home in Spital where Alois was born. If it is true that one of the Rothschilds is the real father
of Alois Hitler, it would make Adolph a quarter Jew. According to these sources, Adolph Hitler
knew of the existence of this document and the incriminating evidence it contained. In order to
obtain it he precipitated events in Austria and initiated the assassination of Dollfuss. According
to this story, he failed to obtain the document at that time, since Dollfuss had secreted it and, had
told Schuschnigg of its whereabouts so that in the event of his death the independence of Austria
would remain assured. Several stories of this general character are in circulation. (OSS Profile:
Part 4)

One commentary elaborated on the OSS report:

Alois, Hitler's father, was born in 1837 in the period when Salomon Mayer was the only
Rothschild who lived at the Vienna mansion. Even his wife did not live there because their
marriage was so bad that she stayed in Frankfurt. Their son, Anselm Salomon spent most of his
working life in Paris and Frankfurt away from Vienna and his father.
Father Salomon Mayer, living alone at the Vienna mansion where Hitlers grandmother
worked, is the prime, most obvious candidate. And Hermann von Goldschmidt, the son of
Salomon Mayer's senior clerk, wrote a book, published in 1917, which said of Salomon:
by the 1840s he had developed a somewhat reckless enthusiasm for young girls..' and
He had a lecherous passion for very young girls, his adventures with whom had to be hushed
up by the police.
And Hitler's grandmother, a young girl working under the same roof would not have been the
subject of Salomons desire? And this same girl became pregnant while working there? And her
grandson becomes the Chancellor of Germany, funded by the Rothschilds, and he started the
Second World War which was so vital to the Rothschild-Illuminati agenda? And the Illuminati
are obsessed with putting their bloodlines into power on all 'sides' in a conflict? And the
Rothschilds are one of their most key bloodlines? And it is all a co-incidence? - 563

One thing is certain, without Hitler there would be no State of Israel today.
Returning to the German Triumvirate which set the stage for the Holocaust, whatever became of
the multitudes of Sabbatean / Frankist families who converted from Judaism to Roman
Catholicism in the 17th and 18th centuries? When we consider that America was a sanctuary for
European crypto-Jews, it is no surprise that some Frankists would turn up in the U.S. and land
jobs in the highest levels of government and financial institutions, which then became the
servants of International Jewry. Barry Chamish reveals just a few:
We return to a quote from Jerry Rabow:
pp 132 - Frankist families, both those living as Christians and those living as Jews, tried to
marry only among themselves. In the summers, the German groups regularly held secret
meetings in the resort of Carlsbad... It is said by the middle of the nineteenth century, the
majority of the lawyers in Prague and Warsaw were from Frankist families. United States
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter is reported to have received a copy of Eva Franks
portrait from his mother, a descendent of the Prague Frankist family.
Here is a quote from Frankfurter: The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise their
power from behind the scenes. Justice Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court.
The difference between Rabow and Rabbi Antelman is the latter proves that literally all of
FDRs court Jews were German-descended Sabbataians, determined to purge Jewry of its
unnecessary European, non-Sabbataian morality-believing cohorts. Here is a short list of these
Jewish community leaders:

80

Felix Brandeis - Received Secondary School education in Germany. There, Englishman Jacob
de Haas introduced him to Zionism.
Henry Morgenthau Jr., Stephen Weiss, Judah Magnes, Felix Warburg - All descended from
German Jews. Here is a telling quote from the latter Frankist family:
We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether
World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent. Statement made before the
United States Senate on Feb. 7, 1950 by James Paul Warburg (Angel to and active in the
United World Federalists), son of Paul Moritz Warburg, nephew of Felix Warburg and of Jacob
Schiff, both of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. which poured millions into the Russian Revolution through
James brother Max, banker to the German government.
In another article titled Kerry, Gaza and the New Sabbatean Holocaust Chamish updates the
list by adding Madeline Albright, John Kerry and Wesley Clark. All are CFR members, have
Gentile surnames and suffered memory loss when it came to their Jewish parentage:
...And what did we recently discover; why Kerry is Jewish on his fathers side. Somehow, he
forgot the fact that his grandparents were prominent Jewish business people in Prague and that
his father is 100% Jewish. Ask yourself, do you know anyone who doesnt know his fathers
religious background?
As rare as it must be, that affliction runs rampant in CFR circles. Former CFR Secretary-ofState Madeleine Albright also forgot that both her parents were Jews, even though she was raised
in the Jewish home of her relatives in London.
If you dont feel like voting Kerry, there is Wesley Clark waiting in the wings. Uncannily, he
is also a CFR member who only discovered his father was Jewish while he was burning Bosnia
to ashes.
Now how come, no matter which Democrat you choose, you get a CFR half-Jew who forgot
all about it? The answer is found in the Sabbatean (also Shabbataian and similar spellings) policy
of having their Jewish apostate followers converting and hiding their roots and beliefs.
The Illuminati's personnel directors carefully groomed young John Kerry from the start. First,
they changed his family name to Kerry, from Kohn. Kohn, of course, shows Kerry's true heritage
as a Jew. His superiors gave him a fictitious Irish name, great for political effect because
Massachusetts has a strongly Irish population. (Power of Prophecy)
We might add to the list of current prominent crypto-Jews, Osama bin Laden, whose mother is
Jewish according to another Israeli source. Bali, Australia & The Mossad by Rose Cohen
appeared in an Australian publication on October 17, 2002.
BIN LADEN IS JEWISH, full stop. A very close friend and a MOST eminent Israeli journalist
told me recently, that according to Jewish law - bin Laden is Jewish, as his mother is Jewish(!).
AND if that is not enough, this irrefutably honest Israeli journalist, disclosed to me
personally that bin Ladens mothers family lives in Israel (I will not print here the exact address
which he provided me). I knew that bin Laden was Jewish long time ago, but with the current
81

war hysteria I never mentioned to anyone except to my husband. The fact that bin Laden is
Jewish, is known in Israel, but the free democratic press of Israel will NOT publish it, as we
have to continue to promote the myth that he is a villain.
Actually, I will not be surprised if bin Laden is living now in Israel, and the Mossad is
laughing all the way to the bank ! When Israel and Bush finally will control all worlds
countries, I am confident that bin Laden will be invited as an honored guest.
We (should I say they?) the Jews NEVER brag about what we are doing, and the public (here
and in Israel) is totally innocent and uninformed about the amount of terror that we are
manipulating and releasing on the whole world at the moment.
The strategy is simple: attempt to make our enemies suspect each other and then fight it out.
It saves us the work. Keep in mind that our enemies are ANYONE WHO IS NOT JEWISH.
Maurice Pinay partly recognized the dialectical process at work, per the Protocols, when he
posited that crypto-Jewry in the Islamic world accounts for the tumult in the Middle East today:
...the phenomenon of Crypto-Judaism did not remain only limited to the Christian world. One
still finds in different parts of the Musleman world, communities of Crypto-Jews, as Cecil Roth
observes, who records several examples of Jewish communities, in which Hebrews, who
outwardly were Muselmen, are in secret still Jews. This means that the Jews have also
introduced a Fifth Column into the bosom of the Islamic religion. This fact perhaps explains the
many divisions and the uproar which has occurred in the world of Mohammed. (pp. 246-7)
In other words, having infiltrated the Christian and Islamic worlds, the crypto-Jews were in a
position to implement Protocol #17 of the Learned Elders of Zion, Throughout all Europe, and
by means of relations with Europe, in other continents also, we must create ferments, discords,
and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage.
To those who hesitate to believe that the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion represent a
blueprint for world domination by a secret Jewish brotherhood, Mrs. Cohen offers some sensible
advice: Many efforts have been made to dismiss the Protocols as a hoax... frankly, it matters not
whether they are or arent because of their astonishing reflection of reality. Read them and decide
for yourself.
The Protocols were first published in Russia in 1905 by Professor Sergyei A. Nilus. In his
Introduction, Prof. Nilus noted that Protocol III begins with a reference to the cycle of the
Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolise our people. It cannot be overstated that Nilus
misinterpreted the Symbolic Snake as the symbol of Judaism in general, however, Genesis 49:17
specifically identifies only one tribe of Israel as a Serpent: Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an
adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. It is important
to remember this distinction in order to avoid misrepresenting all Jews as the perpetrators of the
evil scheme outlined in the Protocols.
Before presenting Prof. Nilus explanation of the Symbolic Snake, lets consider what this image
means in the occult traditions. The Symbolic Snake is the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros, the
serpent biting its own tail. This symbol is represented in the logo of the Theosophical Society
(left, below). A variation of the Ouroboros (right, below) bears the inscription Pedet Finis

82

Aborigine, which means Look for the end in the beginning. This axiom denotes the Gnostic
plan to go back to the future, in other words to go through time in reverse, first to the Garden
of Eden and then back to the Creation. As New Age writer Tim Robbins stated, Our purpose is
to...return to Eden, make friends with the snake and set up our computers among the wild apple
trees. New Agers are not happy with the plan of salvation that God ordained. These Gnostics
believe that they are gods and they have devised an alternate plan to fulfill Bible prophecy.

Thus, the Orobouros illustrates the nature of the Gnostic conquest of Christian civilization in
terms of time. In his Introduction to the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, Sergyei Nilus
charted with uncanny precision the geographical course of the Symbolic Snake:
Protocol III opens with a reference to the Symbolic Snake of Judaism. In his Epilogue to the
1905 Edition of the Protocols, Nilus gives the following interesting account of this symbol:
According to the records of secret Jewish Zionism, Solomon and other Jewish learned men
already, in 929 B.C., thought out a scheme in theory for a peaceful conquest of the whole
universe by Zion.
[Prof. Nilus seems to be referring to the 8th chapter of the book of Ezekiel to whom God gave
visions of the Temple where the Jewish elders conducted idolatrous rites sanctioned by Solomon
who promoted the worship of Astarte/Diana.]
As history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail and completed by men who were
subsequently initiated in this question. These learned men decided by peaceful means to conquer
the world for Zion with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake, whose head was to represent those
who have been initiated into the plans of the Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to
represent the Jewish people [this is questionable in view of the millions of Jews slaughtered by
the Zionists] - the administration was always kept secret, even from the Jewish nation itself [this
is closer to the truth]. As this Snake penetrated into the hearts of the nations which it encountered
it undermined and devoured all the non-Jewish power of these States.
It is foretold that the Snake has still to finish its work, strictly adhering to the designed plan,
until the course which it has to run is closed by the return of its head to Zion and until, by this
means, the Snake has completed its round of Europe and has encircled it - and until, by dint of
enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the whole world. This it is to accomplish by using every
endeavor to subdue the other countries by an economical conquest.
The return of the head of the Snake to Zion can only be accomplished after the power of all
the Sovereign of Europe has been laid low, that is to say, when by means of economic crises and
83

wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there shall have been brought about a spiritual
demoralization and a moral corruption, chiefly with the assistance of Jewish women
masquerading as French, Italians, etc.. [like the porn stars in The Passion of the Christ?] These
are the surest spreaders of licentiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of nations.
A map of the course of the Symbolic Snake is shown as follows: - Its first stage in Europe
was in 429 B.C. in Greece, where, about the time of Pericles, the Snake first started eating into
the power of that country. The second stage was in Rome in the time of Augustus, about 69 B.C..
The third in Madrid in the time of Charles V, in A.D. 1552. The fourth in Paris about 1790, in the
time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London from 1814 onwards (after the downfall of Napoleon).
The sixth in Berlin in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Petersburg, over
which is drawn the head of the Snake under the date of 1881. [This Snake is now being drawn
through the Americas and in the United States of America, it is been partially identified as the
Counsel on Foreign Relations (C.F.R.) and the Tri-Lateral Commission]...
It is fitting that the Ouroboros was originally a symbol of Ancient Greece, the first stage of the
European conquest by the Elders of Zion. The second stage in the circular route of the Symbolic
Snake was the conquest of Rome in the first century B.C., which corroborates other evidence
that the Zionists established themselves in Rome centuries in advance of the creation of the
Roman Catholic Church. Spain in 1550 was a stronghold of the Alumbrados and France in 1790
was in the throes of the French Revolution. Britain, Germany and Russia virtually completed the
circular path of the Symbolic Serpent in Europe which was devoured by the end of the twentieth
century. Protocol III begins with the announcement, Today I may tell you that our goal is now
only a few steps off. There remains but a small space to cross of the long path we have trodden
before the cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolise our people, will be completed.

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT

CATHOLIC OR JEWISH?
PART IV
CITT DEL VATICANO
Does the Prieur de Sion control the Roman Catholic Church today? According to various
sources, including the Jewish Encyclopedia, the House of Rothschild has been the long-standing
trustee of the Vaticans wealth.
Early in the 19th century the Pope came to the Rothschilds to borrow money. The Rothschilds
were very friendly with the Pope, causing one journalist to sarcastically say Rothschild has
kissed the hand of the Pope... Order has been reestablished. The Rothschilds in fact over time
were entrusted with the bulk of the Vaticans wealth. The Jewish Ency., vol. 2, p. 497 states, It is
a somewhat curious sequel to the attempt to set up a Catholic competitor to the Rothschilds that
at the present time (1905) the latter are guardians of the papal treasure. Researcher Eustace
Mullins writes that the Rothschilds took over all the financial operations of the worldwide
Catholic Church in 1823. Today the large banking and financial business of the Catholic Church
is an extensive system interlocked with the Rothschilds and the rest of the International Banking
system. (Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines, p.154)
It appears that the Medici were involved in the Rothschild takeover of the Vaticans financial
operations and, indeed, all of Italy, as well as the creation of a new front for the disentitled
Bavarian Illuminati, the Carbonari, of which the Alta Vendita was the highest lodge:
In 1821 Carl [Kalman Rothschild] was sent to Naples, Italy to oversee loans there that were
meant to finance Metternichs forces who had arrived to quell a rebellion. While in Italy the
Rothschild mantle came upon Carl and he made a series of ingenious deals with the Italian
government that forced Naples to pay for its own occupation. He also helped Luigi de Medici of
the Black Nobility to re-gain his position as finance minister of Naples, and later did business
with the powerful man. Due to his success it was decided that he would stay in Naples and set up
his own bank. He became financier to the court, the financial overlord of Italy. Carl ...wound
the Italian peninsula around his hand. He did business with the Vatican, and when Pope Gregory
XVI received him by giving him his hand rather than the customary toe to kiss, people realized
the extent of his power. The Pope conferred upon him the Order of St. George.
It appears that in Italy Carl became a leader of Carbonarism. After the Bavarian Illuminati
was exposed, Carbonarism (or the Alta Vendita) became the major European occult power. Carls
leadership in this group is very significant. In 1818 a secret Alta Vendita document, that Carl had
participated in preparing, was sent to the headquarters of Masonry. A copy of this document was
lost, and the Masons got very upset, and offered rewards for the return of this copy. The title of

85

the document translates Permanent Instructions, or Practical Code of Rules; Guide for the Heads
of the Highest Grades of Freemasonry. [Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines, pp.179-180]
The Alta Vendita was governed by Jews and the Permanent Instructions, or Practical Code of
Rules; Guide for the Heads of the Highest Grades of Freemasonry corresponds to the The
Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion more evidence linking the House of
Rothschild with the Protocols. Recall that Jeroboam Rothschild directed the secret Elders of
Zion.
The original Italian translation of the document entitled Permanent Instructions or Practical
Code of Rules; Guide for the Heads of the Highest Grades of Masonry was given to Nubio
(Piccolo Tigre, a nondescript Jew) of the Alta Vendita lodge in 1824 when he was sent to Rome
to carry it into effect, and it was to this instruction that he referred when he wrote from Forli to
Signor Volpi, As I have written to you before, I am appointed to demoralise the education of the
youth of the [Roman] Church. These secret Instructions which were written in 1815, are in
perfect accord with the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and intended only for a chosen
few Masons of heavy calibre.
The Prieur de Sion, which is directed by the House of Rothschild, works from the shadows, yet
one need only consider the list of past Grand Masters of this high cabal to begin to comprehend
the magnitude of its influence and power. Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln disclosed the nature of its
membership in Holy Blood, Holy Grail: The French press, in a brief article on M. Plantards
election as Grand Master in 1981, had stated that the 121 high dignitaries of the Prieur de Sion
are all eminences grises of high finance and of international political or philosophical
organizations. (p. 362) In hisIntroduction to the Protocols of Zion, Victor Marsden wrote of
other gray eminences who wield unofficial power, secretly sheltered under the umbrella of the
Prieur de Sion: ...in 1931...Jean Izoulet, a prominent member of the Jewish Alliance Israelite
Universelle, wrote in his Paris la Capitale des Religions:The meaning of the history of the
last century is that today 300 Jewish financiers, all Masters of Lodges, rule the world.
Springmeier stated in The Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines, It has been said all roads lead to Rome.
For this book, it could be said all paths of investigation lead to the Rothschilds. Which means
all roads lead to the Prieur de Sion: The Prieur de Sion - the Elders of Sion also relates to the
Rothschilds who are reported to serve on a Jewish council of Elders of Sion... For instance,
Armstrong, The Rothschild Trust, p. 196, That is the present objective of Jeroboam Rothschild
and his secret Elders of Zion. (pp.152,163) Springmeier also references Holy Blood, Holy
Grail, ...the text of the Protocols [of the Elders of Sion] ends with a single statement, Signed
by the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree. (p.193)
One way to discover the Prieurs oversight of the occult underground is to follow the rabbit
trails between various secret societies as they are mentioned in New Age publications. For
example:
...The Scandals of the Prieure de Sion...[alleged] On January 1981two days, that is, after
Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire was elected Grand Master of the Prieure de Siona high-ranking
member of the Order is alleged by Cornelius to have had a meeting with Licio Gelli, Grand

86

Master of the P2. The meeting is said to have occurred at the brasserie called La Tipia on the rue
de Rome in Paris...
...As far as we know it is widely disseminated....if any of Corneliuss allegations should
prove to have even a degree of validity, it will open the lid of a particularly unpleasant can of
worms...
It is now generally acknowledged that P2, however influential and powerful it may have
been, was (and probably still is) controlled by some even higher, more shadowy authority, which
transmitted its instructions through Licio Gelli, the Lodges Grand Master. According to an
Italian parliamentary commission, the organisation behind P2 lay beyond the frontiers of Italy.
There has been much speculation, both plausible and otherwise, about his organisation. Some
have identified it as the...Prieure de Sion. (The Messianic Legacy, 308-9, 352)
...while conducting their research, the authors of [Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Messianic
Legacy] came across indications that The Prieur had been heavily infiltrated by both the
Knights of Malta and the P2 Mason lodge, two secret societies notorious for their involvement
with mobsters and fascists. (Dagoberts Revenge)
I had intended to go into great detail linking P2, the Prieur de Sion, the Vatican, the CIA,
organizations for a United Europe, and the Bilderberg Group. Fortunately, Michael Baigent,
Richard Leigh & Henry Lincoln beat me to it. (William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, pp.77-9)
Some interesting things have come to light about the Prieur recently. One is that the Swiss
Grand Lodge Alpina (GLA), the highest body of Swiss Freemasonry (akin to the Grand Lodge of
England), may have been the recruiting body for the Prieur. But the GLA is also said by some
to be the meeting place of the Gnomes of Zurich who are said to be the Power Elite of Swiss
bankers and international financiers. The GLA is said by David Yallop to be the body which
controlled the P2 Masonic Lodge in Italy.
P2 controlled the Italian secret police in the 1970s, took money from the CIA and KGB, may
have had a hand in the kidnapping of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades, had 900 agents in other
branches of the Italian government and the highest positions of the Vatican...used the Vatican
Bank to launder Mafia drug money, fomented fascist coups in South America, and is most likely
linked to the arch-conservative Knights of Malta and Opus Dei in the Vatican. (Mysteries of
Rennes le Chateau)
In 1958, Angelo Roncalli, who became Pope John XXIII, was allegedly a member of the Prieur
de Sion.
The name John had been implicitly anathematized since it was last used in the early fifteenth
century by an Antipope! Moreover, there had already been a John XXIIIthe Antipope who
abdicated in 1415. Thus the selection by Roncalli of the name Pope John XXIII was unusual to
say the least, and raised many questions.
One answer was suggested in 1976 by a book called The Prophecies of Pope John XXIII.
The book was allegedly a compilation of obscure prophetic prose written by the Pontiff. In
addition, the book also maintained that Pope John XXIII was secretly a member of the RoseCroix, (a subtitle for the Prieur de Sion) with whom he had become affiliated while acting as
papal nuncio to Turkey in 1935. Furthermore, it was suggested that Cardinal Roncalli, on
becoming Pope, had chosen the name of his own secret grand masterso that, for some

87

symbolic reason, there would be a John XXIII presiding over Sion and the papacy
simultaneously. (Library of Halexandria)
One of the first initiatives of John XXIII was to publish an encyclical on The Precious Blood of
Jesus, the staggering ramifications of which will soon be realized as the doctrines pertaining to
Jesus crucifixion have been hurled into the public forum for debate:
Finally, in June 1960, Pope John XXIII issued a profoundly important apostolic letter, whose
subject was the Precious Blood of Jesus. This letter emphasized Jesus suffering as a human
being and maintained that the redemption of mankind had been effected by the shedding of his
blood. In the context of Pope Johns letter, Jesus human Passion and the shedding of his blood
assume a greater consequence than the Resurrection or even than the mechanics of the
Crucifixion!
The implications are enormous. The letter alters the whole basis of Christian belief. If
mans redemption was achieved by the shedding of Jesus blood, his death and resurrection
become incidentalif not, indeed, superfluous. Through his letter Pope John XXIII implies that
the death of Jesus on the cross is no longer a requisite tenet of the Roman Catholic faith. Jesus
need not have died on the cross for the Catholic faith to retain its validity. (Ibid.)
John XXIIIs encyclical allows for the Merovingian version of Jesus, who did not die but
recovered from the crucifixion and fled to France with his wife and offspring. The author of the
popular book, The DaVinci Code, Dan Brown said that when he wrote the best seller that
dissects the origins of Jesus Christ and disputes long-held beliefs about Catholicism, he
considered including material alleging that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion. (MSNBC) The
1960 encyclical also cleared a theological path for The Passion of the Christ film which also
overemphasized Jesus suffering as a human being, made no statement about His divinity and
omitted, not only the Virgin Birth, but also the Ascension. So where did Mel Gibsons Jesus go
after his dubious resurrection, resuscitation and/or recuperation from the crucifixion? Perchance
to the South of France with Mary Magdalene and their child? This is the gospel according
to www.humanists.net/:
If Jesus did not die on the cross he would have been forced to flee the Holy Land. If
authorities discovered Jesus was still alive, he would have been punished again. So where would
he have gone? There is a story of Christs life after the crucifixion. That the blood relatives of
Jesus may still live among us!
Rennes le Chteau is at the foot of the Peraniese Mountains in the South of France... a young
Parish priest by the name of Brenger Saunire...found four parchments, which started the
mystery. Two of the parchments were written in code which he could not decipher. Saunire took
the parchments to Paris to seek help from experts in military code and ciphers... Is it possible that
the coded documents revealed to Brenger Saunire that Christ had survived the crucifixion?
(The Fraudulent Crucifixion)
In 1961, John XXIII reinstated the Knights of Malta, according to Sodalitium, a Roman Catholic
publication:
June 24, 1961. On that date, the feast of Saint John the Baptist, patron of the Order (and of
Masonry), John XXIII received the Knights at the Vatican, and to their great satisfaction,
88

publicly issued the Brief by which the Commission of Cardinals instituted by Pius XII was
suppressed. He also approved the new constitutions of the Order, and authorized the election of a
Grand Master. ("The Pope of the Council, Part 19: John XXIII and Masonry," Sodalitium,
October/November 1996.)
Pope John XXIII then proceeded to rescind the prohibition of Roman Catholics holding
membership in Freemasonry:
It was John XXIII who broke the ice with a measure that passed completely in silence,
authorizing Protestants converted to Catholicism and initiated into Masonry to remain peacefully
in the lodges. Since then, signs of contact have multiplied John XXIIIs governance changed
the 100 year intransigence of the Church vis a vis Masonry into an overture which resulted in
permitting dual membership in the Church and in Masonry...
that Masonry is an association in which all Christians have a placeJohn XXIII and Paul
VI understood very well Le grandi concoranze tra Chiesa e Massoneria (The major
agreements between the Church and Masonry)didnt exist between the Church and Masonry,
but only between the latter and John XII, Paul VI, and John Paul II. (Ibid.)
In 1978, John Paul I (Albino Luciani) was Pope for only 33 days. David Yallops book, In Gods
Name, implicates the P2 Masonic Lodge in his untimely death. P2 stands for Propaganda 2.
Interestingly, Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair served as minister of propaganda under former
President of France, Charles DeGaulle, who was the son of a headmaster of a Jesuit college in
Paris. According to Yallop, the Rothschild-controlled Vatican Bank were laundering money for
their Jewish brothers in the Medici Mafia:
Specifically, the Knights of Malta, Italian Masonic lodge P2, and Holy Roman Empire
restorationists The Priory of Sion have all been proven to be linked to the hierarchy of the
Vatican. Global members of these fascist groups participate at the highest levels of the military,
international politics, and finance.
P2 (Propaganda 2) are perhaps the most visible, and are named after the propaganda
machine of Nazi Joseph Goebbels, that effectively mind controlled the German people into
believing their Rosicrucian racist ideology that led to the Holocaust.
P2 has been linked to the Mafia, and directly implicated in the death of Pope John Paul I in
1978, as revealed by the acclaimed book In Gods Name by respected journalist David Yallop.
It is widely known that Pope John Paul I demanded resignations from Vatican insiders who
were members of P2, and were involved in major money laundering for the Mafia through the
Vatican Bank. He also planned a complete reshuffle of the staff in the power structure of the
Vatican. The next night he was found dead in his room with a list of names scattered over his
body, and was promptly buried without an autopsy. Those listed were retained, and many were
promoted to positions of more responsibility and power, including Chicagos Bishop Paul
Marcinkus who handled Vatican investments, and who eluded a suspicious Italian police by
remaining within the Vaticans walls. (Neo-Nazis)
The current pope, John Paul II, is from Poland, a Jewish stronghold that was the center of
Cabalism and the Baal Shem movement as well as the special province of the Illuminati. A
Catholic article which exposes the Masonic connections of John Paul II and the influence of

89

Jacob Frank on his papacy, also reveals the considerable damage the Frankist movement has
inflicted on the citadel of Roman Catholicism. The author of Karol, Adam, Jacob, a Father
Francesco Ricossa, first links Karol Wojtyla to Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855), a Polish
messianist and a figure of singular importance. According to Fr. Ricossa, Polish messianists
consider Poland to be another Christ, crucified by and between its ancient enemies, Germany and
Russia. Someday, Polish messianists believe, their nation will rise from the dead as Jesus did.
Until then, their suffering is believed to be messianic in nature. Mickiewicz was a close associate
of another Polish messianist, Andrzej Towianski (1799-1871), who was strongly influenced
by Jacob Frank. Towianski believed he was charged with announcing the end of Christianity
and one of his disciples predicted the election of a Slavic Pope who would help to realize that
objective:
As for Towianski, in his humility, he believed he was, after Napoleon, the third epiphany of
Christ, the predestined leader who to be born of a nation, Poland, martyr and redemptor like
Christ. He was the gris and occultist of mystical literature; perhaps he was initiated into many
secret societies (p. 252).His metaphysical and moral system, anti-rationalist and antiauthoritarian, was influenced by Saint Saint-Martin, Swedenborg, by T. Grabianka.. But it was
also influenced by a certain Jacob Frank, whom I shall treat. It is interesting to note that, for
Towianski, at the end of time, hell would no longer exist. Many authors have been influenced by
Towianski: the Polish Poet, Juliusz Slowaki (1803-1849), who would predict the election of a
Slavic Pope, our subject here, Mickiewicz; the modernist writer, Fogazzaro. Mickziewicz,
Slowaki, and Krasinski were listed by Buttiglione as Karol Wojtylas masters. (p. 32)...
("Karol, Adam, Jacob," M. Abb Francesco Ricossa, Sodalitium, No. 48, April 1999)
Mickeiewicz belonged to the Cabalistic Martinist Order and was influenced by Anne Catherine
Emmerich, the psychic Augustinian nun whose hallucinations inspired Mel Gibsons heretical
film The Passion of the Christ:
Was Mickewicz a Mason?...[His] Polish secret societies were the replica (and often the ally) of
the Russian secret societies a type of Slavic Carbonarism... Mickiewicz, became a Martinist,
from rationalist to mystic; in 1836, he published Zdania I uwagi (Feelings and observations), a
collection of quotes from the works of Bhme), Silesius and Saint-Martin. With Saint-Martin,
we are amid full blown Masonry, and even full blown Jewish Cabalism! It is in this esoteric
environment, well established before the his affiliation with Towianskis movement, that
Mickiewicz thought becomes bogged down in the mud, Strongly touched in his youth by the
mystique of the secret societies...by Bhme with whom he fell in love in Dresden in 1832, by the
visions of Frederick Wanner, by Swedenborg, by Baader and by Saint-Martin whom he had read
in Paris in 1833, but also by Catherine Emmerichand by the great mystics of the Christian
tradition... Mickiewicz [was] among the most dangerous thinkers of Masonic-Christian
esotericism. (Ibid.)
Adam Mickiewicz was also a colleague of the Italian Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872), the
powerful Masonic revolutionary who, with Karl Marx, a Jew whose real surname was Mordecai,
founded the Communist International. Guiseppe Mazzini also belonged to the Carbonari which
had superseded the Bavarian Illuminati. Mazzini unified Italian Freemasonry to break the
temporal power of the Papacy and, with his fellow Mason in the U.S., Albert Pike, united

90

Freemasonry internationally to destroy the Church. In Occult Theocrasy, Edith Starr Miller
wrote that the Communist International took a special interest in securing the independence of
Poland for the benefit of the Jewish Brotherhood in that country:
At a meeting [of the Communist International] held in London, in 1865, the re-establishment
of Poland entire and independent was...discussed...and that the Conference must stand by the
Polish cause. In 1866, a meeting or congress was held at Geneva... Another resolution favoring
Polish Independence was passed...
To anyone unversed in the intricacies of International Politics at that date, the introduction
and predominance of the measures concerning Poland seem senseless. All the International
societies which, at that time, were affiliated with Young Italy of which Mazzini, if not in every
case the nominal founder, was in all cases the moving spirit, were controlled by a central
committee of which the famous Italian Revolutionary was the presiding genius. In this
committee centered also the political power of Carbonarism plus that of Masonry as well as the
of Judaism which, functioning through Mazzini, [Armand] Levi and [Adriano] Lemmi, found in
the dawning of the International, an easy means of fostering revolutions on foreign territory and
a centre of agitation towards extorting the extension of rights and privileges to their Jewish
Brothers in Poland, which at that date had the largest Jewish population of any country in the
world. Thus, the International, later to become its most powerful agent and the tyrant of a nation,
began to serve the Jewish International power. (p. 492)
Protocol 17 of the Learned Elders of Zion boasts of the plan of the Prieur de Sion to destroy the
Catholic Church via infiltration by agents provocateurs, first, to corrupt the priesthood, a plan
which is now yielding a harvest of evil fruit, and secondly, a smear campaign which altogether
misrepresents the Catholic Church as a Gentile institution led by Christian pedophiles. It is worth
noting that Pope John Paul II has done little or nothing to remove priests who are homosexual
predators.
2. We have long past taken care to discredit the priesthood of the goyim, and thereby to ruin
their mission on earth which in these days might still be a great hindrance to us. Day by day its
influence on the peoples of the world is falling lower. Freedom of conscience has been declared
everywhere, so that now only years divide us from the moment of the complete wrecking of that
Christian religion: as to other religions we shall have still less difficulty in dealing with them, but
it would be premature to speak of this now. We shall put clericalism and clericals into such
narrow frames as to make their influence move in retrogressive proportion to its former
progress.
Pope John Paul II was the first Pontiff to openly visit a Jewish synagogue, where he prayed with
the Chief Rabbi of Rome who was so impressed with the open-mindedness of the Pope that he
converted to Catholicism and changed his name to Eugenio Pacelli in honor of Pius XII. The
Vatican under John Paul II also forged full diplomatic ties with Israel and this pope is credited
with ending 2,000 years of hostility and distrust between Christians and Jews. On January 17,
2002, the current Chief Rabbi of Rome held a special meeting with the Vatican Cardinals.
January 17 is the date in 681 when Sigisbert IV, the deceased King Dagoberts son, also known
as the Plant-Ard, took refuge from the Carolingian assassins at Rennes-le-Chateau. (In
commemoration of this occasion, the Prieur de Sion traditionally convenes on January 17 for

91

the selection of Grand Masters.) The Vatican Cardinals listened without a protest to Rabbi Di
Segnis ominous lecture concerning the up and coming implementation of theNoachide Laws:
In Rome, on January 17, 2002, in the Lecture hall of the Major Roman Pontifical Seminary, a
meeting was organized by the Diocese of Rome, part of the Day of Jewish-Christian dialogue.
Present on the Catholic side were Cardinal Jorge Maria Mejia and Msgr. Rino Fisichella, and on
the Jewish side, Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni, who replaced Rabbi Elio Toaff as Chief Rabbi of
Rome...
Rabbi Di Segni...explains [the seven precepts that all noachides must respect]:
These rules are: interdiction of all worship except monotheism, interdiction on blasphemy,
the obligation to form tribunals, the interdiction on homicide, theft, adultery, and incest, and the
interdiction on eating food torn from living animals.
...The Rabbis attention is completely fixed on the first precept, that of monotheism: As to
the monotheist cult, apparently, it poses no doubt for the major religions. Arent Judaism,
Christianity and Islam defined, in post-conciliar language that has become colloquial today, as
the three major monotheist religions? In fact, Di Segni sees no difficulty in defining Muslims as
strict and even circumcised monotheists. But, as to Christians, he has some doubts....
christians: monotheists or idolators?
This is where Di Segni---who is the author of the re-publication of the Toledoths Jehsu, under
the new title, Il Vangelo del Ghetto [The Gospel of the Ghetto], with the Toledoths Jehsu being
the most inflammatory Jewish legends against Jesus (1)---speaks clearly to the prelates who
heard him:
At the point we have now reached, it is necessary to make a clarification on Jewish theology,
which, on the subject of monotheism and how it is lived by Christianity, gives rise to a debate
that is essentially a dilemma. The point in question is in view of establishing whether Jesus
divinity can be compatible, for a non-Jew (because for a Jew it is absolutely not) with the
monotheistic concept.
In other words: The Jew who would become a Christian, thus then believing in the divinity of
Jesus, would cease to be a monotheist in order to become an idolater. Must one say the same
thing of a non-Jew? Is believing in Jesus divinity a sin of idolatry, a violation of the first precept
of the Noachide law? Rabbi Di Segni advises:
As to be expected, in Jewish theology, the answer to this question is not unanimous: some
firmly deny it, others place certain conditions on it. The consequence is that, according to the
literal opinion, the Christian would not be on the path of salvation since he is guilty of idolatry.
where Di Segni is unclear: the punishment of death for non-monotheists (made up, in part, of
christians)
Di Segni concludes: If one must literally apply the Noachide system of laws, it [the
punishment of death] would be applied to all, so that the Noachides might observe it. Likewise,
the punishment of death would apply to what treats forbidding the worship of strange gods, in
view of monotheism. (559)
[Rabbi Di Segnis message gives contemporary relevance to Revelation 20:4: ...and I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God.]
The Rabbi is not finished.
rabbi di segni's proposition
...Actually, Di Segni advances a proposition...

92

Christians must come to admit that the Jews, by virtue of their original and irrevocable
election, as well as of their possession and observance of the Torah, possess a way toward
salvation which is proper to them, a full and special way that has no need of Jesus....
Di Segni knows that he asks the impossible of Christians, and it is for this reason that he asks
it. To admit that a man, even one man, one soul, even one, has no need of Jesus means to
renounce Jesus. For Di Segni, this would be obtaining from Christians the implicit refutation of
Jesus detested (by him) divinity. (3)...
ff.3. This is a mad hope on Di Segni's part. Certainly, because of the divine promises: the
gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her. But---humanly speaking---not so mad. In effect,
John-Paul IIs post-conciliar magisterium has already recognized the irrevocable character of
the divine election of the Jews, and the Old Testament. Cardinal Lustiger who, according to
rabbinic doctrine, surely merits death if the sincerity of his conversion were demonstrated,
expressed a position not much different from that of Rabbi Di Segni: The Jewish as well as the
Christian faith are a call from God...Israel's vocation is that the light might be brought to the
goyim...I believe that Christianity is a path to attaining this. (Agence tlgraphic juive, no. 2649
4/2/81. (Sodalitium no. 39, p. 15, Le problme des marranes [The Problem of the Marranos], by
Father Nitoglia). (559)
Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger a member of the College of Cardinals, chief confidant of John
Paul II, and considered by many to be a prime candidate for his successor says he is proud of
his Jewish origins. On becoming Archbishop of Paris, Lustiger actually said: I was born Jewish
and so I remain, even if that is unacceptable for many. For me, the vocation of Israel is bringing
light to the goyim. That is my hope and I believe that Christianity is the means for achieving it.
By Israel Cardinal Lustiger meant the Jewish people. By Christianity, he meant the apostate
Church.
...and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having
seven heads and ten horns. 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.

The actor who plays Jesus in the controversial The Passion of the Christ had an audience with
the Pope on Monday (March 15, 2004), the Vatican confirmed. (BBC News)
BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH
The Roman ruler, Julius Caesar, was assassinated on the Ides of March - March 15, 44
B.C.E. In Shakespeares play Julius Caesar, a soothsayer tells Caesar who is already on his way
to the Senate (and his death), Beware the ides of March. Caesar replies, He is a dreamer; let us
leave him. Pass....
93

According to Plutarchs account, Caesar had previously made the wise decision to stay within
the safety of his bedroom chambers on the 15th of March. However, Caesars friend Decimus
(Albinus) Brutus (not Marcus Brutus) managed to convince him that the astrologers warnings
were nothing more than superstitious foolishness. So Julius Caesar decided to attend the Senate
on the 15th of March. On his way to the Senate, Caesar accidentally met up with the astrologer.
Upon seeing the astrologer, Caesar confidently informed Spurinna: The Ides of March are
come. Spurinna answered, Yes, they are come, but they are not past. Later that day - on March
15, 44 B.C.E. - Caesars enemies assassinated him in the Pompey theater, at the foot of Pompeys
statue, where the Roman Senate was meeting that day in the temple of Venus. (Calendars
Through the Ages)
In 45 B.C., the Roman Senate appointed Julius Caesar imperator of Rome, i.e., emperor or
absolute dictator for life. A statue of Caesar was even erected in the Roman temple with the
inscription To the Invincible God. However, the citizens of Rome were fearful of a monarchy
and soon thereafter Caesar was assassinated by certain Senators who wanted to preserve the
Roman tradition of a republic.
From the earliest [Roman] Empire, the emperors had taken the role of Pontifex Maximus, the
high priest of the State religion. This had been initiated by Julius Caesar and continued by
Augustus, his adopted son and first emperor of Rome. This ensured that the monarchy had to
perform a priestly function in the running of the state. This is a striking similarity with that of the
Egyptians and the Sumero-Accadians described above. The fact that the emperors were
described as deities after their death until the time of Diocletian shows that the Roman Empire
had a form of sacred monarchy. Diocletians example drives the point home more clearly.
[Diocletian (245-313) conducted the last and most terrible of all the ten persecutions of the early
Church.] Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome also saw himself as a god, though this
ended when he became Christian. The period of emperors as gods in their lifetime didnt last
long, but as already mentioned the sacred monarchy goes back to the start of the period of
Empire in Roman life.
The conversion of Constantine marked a seismic shift in the structure of religious beliefs in
the Roman Empire. Though initially the pagan religions werent outlawed, they were eventually,
and Christianity became the official and only allowed religion in the Roman Empire. This also
helped usher in a new powerful force in the Roman Empire the Church. This is first illustrated
when Ambrose of Milan dictates to the emperor Theodosius for punishing a riot in Thessalonica
by the massacre of its citizens. The fact that he was able to order the emperor to perform public
penance was one of the first signs of the emergence of Christendom, where the Church was the
most powerful institution, more powerful than the state. This was a new form of sacred
monarchy, that of the papal monarchy. (Sacred Monarchy)
The worship of Caesar had established in Rome the tradition of a sacred monarchy which
would evolve centuries later into the Papal worshipthe exultation of a religious leader as a
literal Christ on the earth. This is the precise term used by various Catholic saintsand popes,
and most recently by another Cardinal, Joseph Ratzinger, the powerful Prefect of the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (modern-day successor to the Inquisition) and the
second most powerful person in the Vatican after the Pope. Ratzinger said:

94

The twentieth century was one of the most crucial in human history, with its tragic and cruel
events culminating in the assassination attempt on the sweet Christ on earth. Now a veil is
drawn back on a series of events which make history and interpret it in depth, in a spiritual
perspective alien to present-day attitudes, often tainted with rationalism. (The Message of
Fatima)
This is the same Cardinal Ratzinger who calls the Jews our Jewish brothers, who wrote that the
Jews and Christians are inseparable, and who, in January of 2002, authorized a 210-page
document by the Pontifical Biblical Commission, titled The Jewish People and the Holy
Scriptures in the Christian Bible which states that the Jewish messianic wait is not in vain,
that Jews and Christians wait together for the Messiah, even though Jews are waiting for the first
coming and Christians for the second coming! The Pontifical Biblical Commission stated: Like
them, we too live in expectation. The difference is that for us the One who is to come will have
the traits of the Jesus who has already come and is already present and active among us. If this
statement seems to be saying that Christians await a messiah who will merely have the traits of
Jesus Christ, and not Jesus Christ Himself, that is exactly what the Pontifical Commission said.
James Caviezel, the actor who played the role of Jesus in The Passion of the Christ, was
granted an audience with Pope John Paul II on the Ides of March. Considering the Merovingian
agenda of this film and Masonic propensities of the pope, the date of this meeting would seem to
be an esoteric signal of some importance. Perhaps the imminent restoration of the old Roman
Empire with its sacred monarchy and persecution of Christians by means of another
Inquisition the Fifth Seal per Rev. 6:9-11 after which the Pontifex Maximus, having been
framed as the Antichrist, will be tried and executed for crimes against humanity. Just as vast
powers and privileges were conferred upon Julius Caesar which precipitated his demise, the
Great Whore will mount the Beast for a final whirl around the globe before she is cast off and
finished for eternity. The Harlot Church will have fulfilled her intended purpose, that of
neutralizing, exploiting, and ultimately eradicating the faith of Jesus Christ.
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:8)
IS THE CONSPIRACY JEWISH?
I am Semitic. Its my lineage, Im from the house
of David and Abraham, Caviezel said. (National
Catholic Reporter, 3/19/04)
Caviezel: [Mel Gibson] wanted to make this film very
Semitic. Instead of having an Aryan, blue-eyed Jesus,
he wanted to have a very Semitic Jesus. Our faith is
grounded in our Jewish tradition. We believe were
from the House of David. We believe were from the
House of Abraham, so we cannot hate our own...
(Newsweek, 2/15/04)
In an interview with Senior Writer Sean Smith in the

95

February 16 issue of Newsweek... Caviezel says Jewish

leaders have every right to defend their faith. But I
believe that when all my Jewish brothers see this film,
they will realize that its not about assigning blame.
Jim Caviezel: ...I want my Jewish brothers to see this
film. (700 Club)
James Caviezel claims to be a traditional Roman Catholic, however his claims of a Semitic
lineage in a number of interviews are most revealing. Of course, Mr. Caviezels allusions to
having Jewish heredity are interspersed among declarations of personal and family devotion to
the Roman Catholic tradition and frequent references to his Catholic piety, e.g. devotion to the
Blessed Virgin Mary, daily Mass and receiving the Eucharist, frequent confession to a priest,
wearing of relics and the penitential scapular, submission to the Pope and belief in Marian
apparitions, particularly at Medjugorje, and so forth.
The question presents itself, if James Caviezel is a traditionalist Roman Catholic, why is he
making veiled references to having a Semitic lineage? To our knowledge, the actor has made no
statements of a personal or family conversion from Judaism to Roman Catholicism.
A reporter from the Charlotte Observer who interviewed James Caviezel wrote: Caviezel its a
Romansch name from Switzerland... prefers not to talk about his personal life. Snippets
of biographical information do not provide much information, but enough to allow for a possible
Frankist/Merovingian ancestry: His surname is Romansch (Rhaeto-Romanic), from
Switzerland... Heritage: 50% Irish, 25% Slovak, and 25% Romanch His mothers maiden name
is Lavery, a Jewish surname. What we do know is that James Caviezel has stated in many
interviews that he is Semitic: I am Semitic. Its my lineage, Im from the house of David and
Abraham, Caviezel said. (National Catholic Reporter)
Although he does not provide any details about his Semitic lineage, Caviezel fairly exudes over
his Roman Catholic religion.
The catharsis for me to play this role was through Medjugorje, through Gospa [Our Lady]. In
preparation, I used all that Medjugorje taught me. Mel Gibson and I were going every day for
Mass together. Some days I couldnt go for Mass, but I was receiving the Eucharist. Somewhere
along the line, I heard that the Pope was going for confession every day, so I thought that I
should go for confession as often as possible So, the confession was the preparation for the
Eucharist. Ivan Dragicevic and his wife Lorraine gave me a piece of the true cross. I kept this on
me all the time. They made a special pocket in my clothes for it. I also had relics of Padre Pio,
St. Anthony of Padoua, Ste Maria Goretti, and Saint Denisius, the Patron saint of Actors. Another
thing was fasting. I read many of the messages continuously. Every day everyone could see me
with the rosary in my hands I ask Mary to guide me and my career... This film is something
that I believe was made by Mary for her Son. (The Mothers Village)
James Caviezels profession seems disingenuous to this writer, a former Roman Catholic. He is
hyperbolic, as if mocking the traditions of Roman Catholicism. Even so, to many Catholics

96

Caviezel will appear fervently devout, which is the modus operandi of the Marranos according to
Maurice Pinay: ...the Jews, thanks to their...skilled false conversion, entered Christianity and
appeared publicly as Christians, however, secretly held to their Jewish religion. ...this secret
belief was passed on by parents to children, covered with the appearance of an outward Christian
militancy... (p.239)
If it is the case that Caviezel is descended from Marrano Jews, this places The Passion of the
Christ in an entirely different perspective.
This infiltration of the Hebrews into the innermost heart of religions and nationalities,
whereby they still preserve their former religion and their organizations in secret, has really
formed Israelite Fifth Columns in the bosom of the other peoples and the different religions;
for if the Jew has gained entrance into the citadel of his enemies, he is active there, follows
orders and carries on an activity which was planned in the Jewish secret organizations.
This aims at controlling the people from within, whose conquest was resolved upon, as well as
the control of his religious institutions, and to attempt to attain the decomposition of the
same. (Pinay, p.249)
We may assume that a Marrano Jew, strategically positioned as James Caviezel to influence the
masses, is taking orders from the High Cabal, the Prieur de Sion, which has determined to
destroy and rid the world of every vestige of Christianity. Protocol 17, point #3 announces a time
when the nations will judge the Roman Church, and its hierarchy and ecclesiastical system will
be overthrown. When the Prieur de Sion comes out of the closet, according to the Protocols, the
Learned Elders will hypocritically play the peacemaker, while the World Court passes judgment
on the Papal Court. The charge will be deicide, the act of murdering God, i.e. murdering the
lineal descendants of Jesus Christ. In a mighty act of vengeance, the Papal Court will be turned
over to the Knights Templar for execution, whereupon the Prieur de Sion will replace the Pope
with their own Black Pope, a Merovingian priest-king who will preside over a one world
religion:
When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court the finger of an invisible hand will
point the nations towards this court. When, however, the nations fling themselves upon it, we
shall come forward in the guise of its defenders as if to save excessive bloodshed. By this
diversion we shall penetrate to its very bowels and be sure we shall never come out again until
we have gnawed through the entire strength of this place.
The King of the Jews will be the real Pope of the Universe, the patriarch of an international
Church. (Protocols of Zion)
The Papal decree for the arrest and execution of the Knights Templar was announced on October
13, 1307. Ironically, on October 13, 2004, the ancient Sanhedrin was revived in modern Israel.
This body, which arranged for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ two thousand years ago, will most
likely oversee the implementation of the abovementioned Noachide Laws.
Also, on October 13, 2004, James Caviezel addressed an All Day Eucharistic Prayer Vigil at the
Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. One devoted
Caviezel fan recapitulated the speech:

97

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D C, the
most striking, beautiful place of worship you will find in the United States. I attended the
Basilica Eucharistic Prayer Vigil on October 13, 2003.
Among other things, it was the ideal place to not only view the ten-minute extended preview
of Mel Gibsons upcoming film, The Passion, but to also listen to the star, Jim Caviezel, give a
closing talk to the all-day prayer vigil...
...Jim, Mr. Caviezel, gave us, the audience, food for thought...and a job to do. He said the
world is on a moral decline and it is up to us to fight it. We are to go out, and in a public place,
practice our religion, so everyone can see we are not ashamed, nor are we afraid to do this. He
followed this by a quote.
I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. Youve come to fight as
free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Fight and
you may die. Run, and youll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from
now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that...for one chance... just ONE
CHANCE to come back here to tell our enemy that they may take our lives, but they will never
take OUR FREEDOM!!! Every man dies, not every man really lives.
That quote is from the film Braveheart.
What? A devout Catholic quoting Sir William Wallace, the Merovingian nobleman who
instigated the Scottish revolt aided and abetted by the Knights Templar, thereby providing a
place of refuge for Templars who would be fleeing Europe? Caviezels participation in the
Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on October 13 brings to mind an old Cathar prophecy:
There is an old Cathar saying: Every 700 years, the laurel will grow green again. The dawn
arrests of the Templars were in October, 1307. Perhaps one reason for the current burgeoning of
interest in all things Templar, a colleague once told me, is because we are nearly at the seven
hundredth year--2007. (1034)
The demise of the Roman Catholic Church is prophesied in the book of Revelation, chapter 17,
which describes in graphic detail the destruction of the Great Whore:
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 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... And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth... And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and
burn her with fire.Rev.17:3-6,9,16
Although The Passion of the Christ is represented as a Roman Catholic production, this is the
exoteric interpretation of the movie, calculated to deceive the ignorant masses. Which explains

98

why virtually all exposes of The Passion film are formulated rehashes of the heresies of the
Catholic Church which ignore the Gnostic occultism that pervades the movie at a deeper level.
This device is known as an occult blind, that is, it is designed to carry an open symbolism
acceptable to the uninitiated, yet at the same time, to hide a more profound meaning accessible
only to those familiar with Arcane symbolism. (Ovason, p. 218) Esoterically, The Passion of
the Christ is not a Catholic production at all, but is rabidly anti-Catholic and loaded with occult
messages for those who understand the secret doctrine, which is to destroy all forms of Gentile
Christianity.
Much ado has been made about the Ugly Baby carried by the androgynous Satan in The Passion
of the Christ. When interviewed by Christianity Today Mel Gibson revealed the age of this
Baby to be precisely 40 years old!
But what about the ugly baby?
Again, said Gibson, its evil distorting whats good. What is more tender and beautiful than a
mother and a child? So the Devil takes that and distorts it just a little bit. Instead of a normal
mother and child you have an androgynous figure holding a 40-year-old baby with hair on his
back. It is weird, it is shocking, its almost too muchjust like turning Jesus over to continue
scourging him on his chest is shocking and almost too much, which is the exact moment when
this appearance of the Devil and the baby takes place.
An androgynous mother holding a 40-year old baby with hair on his back distorts the motherchild motif just a little bit???
Mel Gibsons view of the Devil also misses the mark:
When asked why he portrayed Satanan androgynous, almost beautiful being played by
Rosalinda Celentanothe way he did, Gibson replied: I believe the Devil is real, but I dont
believe he shows up too often with horns and smoke and a forked tail. The devil is smarter than
that. Evil is alluring, attractive. It looks almost normal, almost goodbut not quite.
Thats what I tried to do with the Devil in the film. The actors face is symmetric, beautiful
in a certain sense, but not completely. For example, we shaved her eyebrows. Then we shot her
almost in slow motion so you dont see her blinkthats not normal. We dubbed in a mans
voice in Gethsemane even though the actor is a woman Thats what evil is about, taking
something thats good and twisting it a little bit.
Is this how evil appears? Good, but with a twist of evil? What saith the Scriptures about the
personification of Satan? According to Gods Word, Satan would take on the appearance of Mel
Gibson (or any of the Evangelical sycophants who promoted this movie) rather than the
malevolent-appearing character of Rosalinda Celentano!
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of
Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no
great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall
be according to their works. (II Cor. 11:13-15)

99

Judging by the success of James Caviezels performance in The Passion of the Christ,
mankind is primed for a Hollywood-type Jesus to appear on the world stage. Yet the prophet
Isaiah foretold that the Messiah would lack the physical attractiveness that is so highly esteemed
by the world: ...he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty
that we should desire him. (Is.53:2) We do NOT even tenuously think that James Caviezel is
the Antichrist but, given this Messianic prophecy, it seems important to consider the converse of
Isaiahs words:
Will the
Antichrist
look like
this?

Or more like this?

Which raises two more questions and the point of our inquiry...
Will the Antichrist be Jewish?
Is the Conspiracy Jewish?
The issue of a Jewish Antichrist is dealt with in some detail in Janet Mosers report, The Lost
Tribe of Dan: Early Christian and Jewish Views on the Identity of the Antichrist. This report is
based on the evidence of Scripture that the Antichrist will be a Jew of the apostate tribe of Dan.
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers...nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself
above all. (Daniel 11:37)
Is the conspiracy Jewish? It seems reasonable that those who are making plans to rebuild the
Temple of Jerusalem where a practitioner of witchcraft will be enthroned, per Dan.8:25, would
be apostate Jews who reject the sinless Messiah sent by God who commandeth all men every
where to repent. (Acts 17:30) These heretical Jews have a radically different concept of what
their messiah ought to be, as the lesbian singer Joan Osborne intoned a few years ago, just one
of us. In other words, a messiah closer to the versions of Jesus presented in the Gnostic gospels,
the Talmud and New Age books like The DaVinci Code:
The legend of the Holy Grail is a legend about royal blood. When the Grail legend speaks of
the chalice that held the blood of Christ...it speaks, in fact, of Mary Magdalene the female

10
0

womb that carried Jesus royal bloodline... Behold...the greatest cover-up in human history. Not
only was Jesus Christ married, but He was a father...
The Sangreal documents simply tell the other side of the Christ story. In the end, which side
of the story you believe becomes a matter of faith and personal exploration, but at least the
information has survived. The Sangreal documents include...the Purist Documents thousands
of pages of unaltered, pre-Constantine documents, written by the early followers of Jesus,
revering Him as a wholly human teacher and prophet. Also rumored to be part of the treasure is
the legendary Q Document... Allegedly, it is a book of Jesus teachings, possibly written in His
own hand...
And these four chests of documents were the treasure that the Knights Templar found under
Solomon's Temple... The documents that made the Knights Templar so powerful. The documents
that have been the object of countless Grail quests throughout history. (The DaVinci Code,
pp.249-56)
Jesus Christ prophesied of the false messiah who would be acceptable to the apostate Jews when
He said, I am come in my Fathers name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his
own name, him ye will receive. (John 5:43) In his own name suggests that genealogical
credentials will be used to validate the legitimacy of the false messiah of Israel, which is
precisely the obsession of the Merovingian bloodline that blasphemously claims descent directly
from Israels kings, David and Solomon and even Jesus. These claims of messianic blood,
however baseless, are expedient for the Merovingians to achieve world hegemony.
The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown is merely a primer for neophytes, a thriller intended to
introduce unbelievers and unstable Christians to the Merovingian heresy. However, hardcore
occult literature and the Gnostic gospels present Jesus as an Essene master who was adept in the
mysteries of the Cabala. In this context, the Merovingian Christ would appeal to Jews who prefer
a Cabalist a practitioner of witchcraft who, albeit human, has attained to godhood and will
teach mankind the pathway to realizing their own inner divinity.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling
away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple
of God, shewing himself that he is God... Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan
with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in
them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And
for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie (II Thes.2:3-4,
9-11)

Arguments against a Jewish conspiracy usually include the following:

The global bankers and the owners of transnational corporations who conspire to
overthrow Western civilization and restructure society are not exclusively Jews but include
Gentiles as well.
Do we know this for a fact? If the dispersed Jews have been taking Gentile surnames for two
millennia, as well as concealing their Jewish identity, who knows if power elites perceived to be
Gentiles are not in reality crypto-Jews?
To promote the idea of a Jewish conspiracy is anti-Semitic and defamatory of all Jews.

10
1

This is hardly the case, for the conspiracy is primarily occultic and not all Jews are Cabalists, and
even fewer are members of the High Cabal. Many Jews eschew the idolatrous paganism of the
Cabalists, who have already demonstrated they will exterminate their Jewish brothers, who
follow the Torah, to achieve their conspiratorial aims. In fact, Bible prophecy foretells the fate of
the Jews---that two thirds will be destroyed, yet there will be a remnant, a third of Jewry, which
is persecuted by the Antichrist system, but protected by God:
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off
and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will
refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and
I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
(Zech.13:8,9)
The term anti-Semitism involves a number of fallacies, one of these being that all of the
Semitic people are of Hebrew descent. It is a fact, however, that the Hebrews comprise only 10%
of world Semites. Dr. Alfred Lilienthal observed that, In fact, it is the Zionists who have been
anti-Semites starting from the holy land of Palestine and ending with a worldwide movement
against Muslims and Arabs who form 90 percent of the Semites.
Another misconception, fostered by failure to understand the history of Israel, is that the
international Hebrew community is religiously and politically monolithic and that criticism of
one faction within this community amounts to prejudice against all people of Hebrew descent. In
fact, most theories of a Jewish conspiracy condemn all Jews and fail to take into account the
schism that split ancient Israel, which was precipitated by the idolatry of the tribe of Dan.
There is weighty evidence that tribe of Dan were the progenitors of the Merovingians. This
evidence is presented in The Lost Tribe of Dan, which also explains why the tribe of Dan is still
at war with the tribe of Judah. In brief, Samsons riddle to the Philistines is really a prophecy:
Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. Judg.14:14 The
riddle recalled an incident when Samson turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold,
there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. And he took thereof in his hands,
and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat...
Samsons prophecy suggests that the tribe of Dan intends to destroy the tribe of Judah and
inaugurate their own messiah who will rule a world kingdom from Israel, not Judah. From the
carcass of the young lion (destruction of Judah) the tribe of Dan (symbolized by bees) will
produce a Golden Age (symbolized by honey).
Specifically, the Antichrist of the tribe of Dan would rule from the northern area which was
occupied by Dan, namely Mount Sion, also called Mount Hermon (Deut.4:48) This Canaanite
territory was chosen by Dan because it was the location of the sacred site, Mount Hermon.
Located on the 33 latitude and longitude, Mount Hermon/Sion is where the Nephilim (fallen
angels) descended per Genesis 6. This accounts for the bestial nature of the Antichrist and his
ancient lineage. (See: Heeding Bible Prophecy: Mount Sion/Hermon)
THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN

10
2

Since the designation Jew belongs exclusively to the tribe of Judah, only the tribe of Judah is
Jewish. Other tribes of Israel who call themselves Jews are appropriating to themselves an
ancient birthright which is not rightfully theirs, for the Messiah would descend through the tribe
of Judah. Revelation 2:9-10 refers to the synagogue of Satan as them which say they are Jews,
and are not. In His message to the church at Smyrna, Jesus spoke of this group as a synagogue,
that was not Jewish:
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. I know thy works,
and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say
they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou
shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye
shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
The establishment of the synagogue, according to the Jewish Encyclopedia, was of ancient origin
and, therefore, the ancient Israelites would have had synagogues which continued in both
kingdoms subsequent to the great schism:
By the time [the synagogue] had become the central institution of Judaism (no period of the
history of Israel is conceivable without it), it was already regarded as of ancient origin, dating
back to the time of Moses (see Yer. Targ., Ex. xviii. 20 and I Chron. xvi. 39; Pesik . 129b; Philo,
De Vita Mosis, iii. 27; Josephus, Contra Ap. ii., 17; Acts xv. 21).
We may infer from Revelation 2:9-10, that a portion of the northern kingdom of Israel, which
was dispersed after the Assyrian invasion, settled in Smyrna in Asia Minor. Furthermore, that
these Israelites claimed to be Jews and, after the death of Christ, persecuted His Church in that
city. The bishop of Smyrna during the first part of the second century was the famous Polycarp
who was burned at the stake sometime around the year 155. That Jews were behind Polycarps
martyrdom is evident in the Letter of the Smyrnaeans to the Church at large:
When this was proclaimed by the herald [that Polycarp confessed himself to be a Christian]
the whole multitude both of Gentiles and of Jews who dwelt in Smyrna cried out with
ungovernable wrath and with a loud shout, This is the teacher of Asia, the father of the
Christians, the puller down of our gods, who teacheth numbers not to sacrifice nor worship....
These things then happened with so great speed, quicker than words could tell, the crowds
forthwith collecting from the workshops and baths timber and faggots, and the Jews more
especially assisting in this with zeal, as is their wont...
So [the Evil One] put forward Nicetes, the father of Herod and brother of Alce, to plead with
the magistrate not to give up his body, lest, so it was said, they should abandon the crucified
one and begin to worship this man--this being done at the instigation and urgent entreaty of the
Jews, who also watched when we were about to take it from the fire, not knowing that it will be
impossible for us either to forsake at any time the Christ who suffered for the salvation of the
whole world of those that are saved--suffered though faultless for sinners--nor to worship any
other.
For Him, being the Son of God, we adore, but the martyrs as disciples and imitators of the
Lord we cherish as they deserve for their matchless affection towards their own King and

10
3

Teacher. May it be our lot also to be found partakers and fellow-disciples with them. The
centurion therefore, seeing the opposition raised on the part of the Jews, set him in the midst and
burnt him after their custom.
The Lord Jesus also referred to the synagogue of Satan in His message to the Church at
Philadelphia:
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but
do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have
loved thee. (Rev. 3:9)
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, St. Ignatius of Antioch later sent to the Christians of
Philadelphia an interesting letter warning them against the Jews (Funk, Die apostolischen
Vtter, Tbingen, 1901 pp 98-102). Ignatius of Antioch had also contended with the Judaising
heresy in his church at Syria from the late first century until his martyrdom in Rome c. 110 A.D.
The Encyclopedia Britannica states: Ignatius apparently fought two groups of heretics: (1)
Judaisers, who did not accept the authority of the New Testament and clung to such Jewish
practices as observing the Sabbath, and (2) the Docetists...
IGNATIUS THEOPHOROS (Greek: God Bearer) (d. c. 110, Rome), bishop of Antioch, Syria,
known mainly from seven highly regarded letters that he wrote during a trip to Rome, as a
prisoner condemned to be executed for his beliefs. He was apparently eager to counteract the
teachings of two groups--the Judaizers, who did not accept the authority of the New Testament,
and the Docetists, who held that Christ's sufferings and death were apparent but not real. The
letters have often been cited as a source of knowledge of the Christian church at the beginning of
the 2nd century. Ignatius represented the Christian religion in transition from its Jewish origins to
its assimilation in the Greco-Roman world.
ZIONISM: OF GOD OR SATAN?
MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, simply defined, is that portion of the Gentile Church
which is controlled by the Synagogue of Satan. The Great Whore has been riding this Beast lo
these many centuries, seducing multitudes with the Babylonish apparel of her princes, her
mystical rites, idolatrous worship and her brotherhood of spiritual elites, whose monasteries are
fronts for homosexual and occult activity. After having exploited Christianity to establish a
global kingdom, the Beast will eventually overthrow the Great Whore and remove the mask,
revealing its Jewish identity. Until then, the Synagogue of Satan will continue to make use of the
Mother of Harlots to obtain its immediate objective---reconquest and repossession of the Holy
Land.
Scriptural promises abound that God Himself will regather the House of Israel and bring them
into their own land.
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it
shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that
day,that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from
Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an
10
4

ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed
of Judah from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the
adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex
Ephraim. (Is. 11:10-13)
Note, in the first passage below, Gods opinion of Israels treatment of the nations which
graciously hosted the Diaspora, as well as His reason for restoring them to their homeland:
And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries:
according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. And when they entered
unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them,
These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine
holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O
house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen,
whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen,
which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD,
saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from
among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
(Ezekiel 36:18-24)
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say,
Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and
cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. (Ezekiel
37:11)
For more than a century, the Zionists have been gathering their fellow Israelites from all over the
world. Shall we conclude then, that by bringing the Jews to Israel, Zionism is therefore a
movement of God and should be supported by Christians? This movement is not the fulfillment
of God's promise to regather Israel, per se, but is Satan's counterfeit of Bible prophecy to
establish the world kingdom which he will rule through the Antichrist from Israel. Satan is, in
fact, using Zionism to regather the Jews to Israel for another Holocaust which will take place
during the Tribulation period.
Within Jewry there is a movement which has opposed the Zionist Movement from its inception.
Neturei Karta, which means Guardians of the City, is comprised of ultra-Orthodox Jews who
believe that the present condition of the Jew is a reflection of divine wrath. One of its chief
proponents, I. Domb, wrote in The Transformation: The Case of the Neturei Karta:
The course of events culminating in the destruction of the Sanctuary, was unfolded in
a miraculous way, as we have been told by our Sages: 'Verily, hands full of Fire descended from
Heaven to burn the Temple of Gd . . . Gd has crushed the strong in our midst . . . In His anger
He cut off all the pride of Israel.
At the time of our expulsion, we were not physically weaker than at the time of our entry
into Eretz Yisrael, nor were our enemies more formidable. We were banished by divine decree--

10
5

not by the hazards of war and the defeat. Moreover throughout our long Galut, the calamities
which have befallen us in its course, continue to defy explanation in purely natural and physical
terms. Likewise, no convincing rational explanation can be advanced in support of the persistent
phenomenon of antisemitism, extending to many periods of history and many different and
widely separated territories and the uniqueness of the intensity... This hostility and the extreme
forms of savagery inflicted on us by our persecutors must be attributed to factors other than those
of human causation. (pp. 9-10)
But when we Jews who have remained true to our faith, ponder over our future, we have to
think in divine terms, in terms of Gd's promises to us through the prophets, of the redemption
according to divine revelation with everlasting joy and happiness, which the advent of
the Messiah will inaugurate, as is plainly written in our Torah, and which far transcends the
highest aspiration and advantages that Zionism can offer the Jewish People, or, for that matter,
even the greatest good to which any other nation can aspire. (p. 14)
I. Domb further maintains that the Zionist Movement and its precursor, Reform Judaism, have
removed the Jews from observance of the Torah and substituted in its place the secular
humanism that characterizes 95 % of world Jewry today.
The way was prepared for Zionism by the reform movement or the so-called Haskala with its
teaching that the laws governing the world could all be understood by human reason. The
influence of the Haskala began to undermine the pillars of Judaism, and once the infection had
spread to the Jewish masses, Zionism, the faithful offspring and disciple of the Haskala Reform,
arose to continue the work of its father and to apply its teachings to the Jewish people. The
Haskala and Zionism were mutually dependent in the process; the former breached the wall of
the citadel of the faith, and the latter, disguised in an imitation of Jewish garb, entered through
the breaches in order to carry on the work of destroying the main structure. (p. 7)
The secularization of Judaism has been systematically achieved through the Zionist campaign:
...when Zionism reached its zenith and engulfed almost all sections of Jewry, an active
Zionist campaign for the estrangement of the Jewish people from the Torah was intensified.
Laxity, and among certain sections, even animosity towards our religion on the part of Zionism,
is not incidental but a direct outcome of Zionist ideology.
Throughout the period which has elapsed since Zionism first appeared on the Jewish scene,
Zionists fought religion by different methods. Their writers and ideologists have, either openly
attacked, or discreetly ridiculed Judaism. The anti-religious bias of Zionism was by no means
confined to writings and speeches, but was expressed in a practical manner in logical sequence
from the theory... They established schools and sought to eliminate every trace of religious
thought, from the minds of the children attending them. As their numbers grew, they were
determined to seize power and dominate communal life; they gradually managed to seduce large
numbers of Jews from their Torah observance, and bring them under the influence of irreligious
and even anti-religious circles... All this leads to one obvious conclusion: that Zionism is
basically the reverse of our Emuna [faith] and religious ideology. To become a Zionist means to
conceive Jewry as something temporal and earthly, utterly divorced from all the divine
connections, upon which the whole of Emuna is based. (pp. 21-2)

10

I. Domb argues that Zionism does not constitute the fulfillment of God's plan for the Jews but
rebellion against it. This, in turn, will incur more of God's wrath upon the Jews, according to
Lubavitch Rabbi, Shulem Ben Shneersohn:
ShouldHeaven forbidthe Zionists succeed in obtaining a country as they hope, they will
defile and desecrate it with their abominations and their evil deeds and thus prolongHeaven
forbidthe length of the Exile. (p. 233)
Previously, I. Domb mentioned that, among the Zionists there arose a group called the
Canaanites, which will partially account for the abominations that the will defile the nation of
Israel upon full acquisition of the land. Keep in mind that the ancient Canaanites occupied the far
northern territory surrounding Mount Sion/Hermon which was later occupied by the
apostate Tribe of Dan:
A group which calls itself the Canaanites and consists of those who have had a complete Zionist
education... The Canaanites claim perfectly naturally that they belong to the ancient culture of
the original Canaanite nation which occupied the land now called Israel in ancient times.
Therefore, they claim, that they must acknowledge and re-adopt the ancient culture of the
country with the main principles involved in that culture... What has happened is perfectly
simple. The Zionist heresy, with its compete and essential denial of the whole content of Judaism
and of the Holiness of the Torah, has created a vacuum which cannot long be unfulfilled... the
reason for the appearance of this group and the Canaanites myth which it propagates, is t provide
something that can fill the vacuum... it is a clear and unmistakable sign that the uprooting of the
Torah, has succeeded to such an extent as far as the younger generation is concerned, that they
are ready to grasp with enthusiasm at even the most fantastic of myths. (pp. 87-88)
Although the Zionist Movement is not the fulfillment of God's promises to regather the tribes of
Israel, neither will ultra-Orthodox Jewry represent the 144,000 Jews from the twelve tribes
(excluding Dan) who will stand with Jesus Christ on Mount Zion. The true 144,000 of
Revelation 14 have not defiled themselves with women, which is a reference to the pagan sex
rites that will be prevalent during the Tribulation Period, per Rev. 9:21. However, ultra-Orthodox
Jewry which comprises the membership of Neturei Karta derives its ideology from the Talmud
and the Kabalah, both of which elevate fornication to a virtue. The great Lubavitcher rabbi
previously quoted by I. Domb would be a Kabbalist, a practitioner of Jewish occultism who
awaits the Lubavitcher messiah. (See: Under the Law) Domb himself embraces the Gnostic
notion of the divinity of man as being the exclusive privilege of the Jew.
...This order of reward and punishment, reward for mitzvot and punishment for averoth, is a
privilege for us Jews, and constitutes the loftiest elements of our constitution, the divine quality
inherited from our forbears and finally confirmed on Mount Sinai.
For this Torah is constituted according to divine conceptions, far above human grasp.
Consequently, in the majority of both mitzvot and averoth, the remoteness from human
reasoning, manifest in this formulation is self-evident; but even those which seem logical enough
and useful to human society, do in fact contain higher divine aspects, incomprehensible to the
minds of mortals. Only the Jews, the people who are endowed with divine quality, have
been conditioned to undertake and perform these sacred functions. The order of reward and
punishment is the direct result of their eternal and indissoluble union with Gd, as no other

10
7

human has the possibility of being included in that order; thus only a Jew can evoke either
the punishment or the reward involved in these acts, the commandments of a purely Gdly
aspect. (p. 8)
We are forced to conclude that ultra-Orthodox Jewry is simply the religious extreme of the
dialectic in professed, but not actual, opposition to secular Zionism. The dialectical process,
which is designed to polarize the masses and destabilize the status quo in order to restructure the
social order, will ultimately unite world Jewry in a Babylonian religious system based on
Kabalism, which is the common denominator of Zionism and ultra-Orthodox Jewry.
Psalm 119:91 says of the Lord, ...for all are thy servants which reveals that all men, even the
wicked, are fulfilling the sovereign purposes of God whether they realize it or not. So the
Zionists, who are funded by Rothschild money and think they are so brilliant as to outwit, not
only the Christians, but God Himself, are in fact opposing themselves (Acts 18:6) and, in the
final analysis, signing their own death warrants. Likewise, the ultra-Orthodox Kabbalists.
Scripture is explicit that when the Jews return to Israel, they will face the Tribulation period. In
order to control Israel from Jerusalem, the tribe of Dan must exterminate Judah and usurp its
place in the Messianic lineage. Even so, Scripture foretells that, after the slaughter of two-thirds
of Jewry is allowed to take place, the Lord Jesus Christ will save Judah:
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and
the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. In that day
shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day
shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before
them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come
against Jerusalem...
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut
off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and
will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name,
and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
(Zech. 12:7-10; 13:8,9)
And so we are given to understand that God has not cast off His people forever, but a glorious
day awaits the remnant of Judah when the Lord Jesus Christ will reveal Himself.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of
grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall
mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is
in bitterness for his firstborn... And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine
hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
(Zech.12:10-11,13:6)

The apostle Paul spoke of this remnant of Jews, the elect who will be saved by grace
and not by the works of the law.

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of
Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot
ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel,
saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone,
and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself
seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this
present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace,
then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no
more grace: otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he
seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. (Romans 11:1-7)
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and
not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Romans 2:29)
When Jesus reveals himself to His brethren, it will be a family affair, and profoundly moving.
The Biblical type for this reconciliation is the patriarch Joseph, who wept as he revealed his
identity to his brethren...and hastened to graciously forgive them for their past treachery.
Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause
every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself
known unto his brethren. And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could
not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come
near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye
sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither:
for God did send me before you to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been in the
land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God
sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great
deliverance. (Gen. 45:1-7)

Joseph being a type of Christ, his father and brothers prefigured the House of Israel in
the last days and the seven year famine foreshadowed the Tribulation period
prophesied in the New Testament, most notably in the Book of Revelation. In the
Book of Romans, the apostle Paul has foretold that, as God was gracious and merciful
toward the House of Jacob during the seven years of famine in Egypt, He will
graciously and mercifully restore the believing remnant of Israel during the time of
Jacobs trouble.
Another prophetic type, the conversion of Paul, who deemed himself the chief of
sinners for his former hatred of Jesus Christ and violent persecution of His
Church, demonstrates Gods mercy and covenantal salvation of believing Israel at the
Second Coming of Christ:
In view of the preceding chapter on Israels rejection, the question is asked Hath God cast
away His People? Is there nothing more in store for national Israel? God forbid. If it were so,

10
9

Gods gifts and calling would be subject to repentance and He would not be the faithful,
covenant-keeping God. He foreknew His people Israel and that foreknowledge embraced all their
sad history of failure and apostasy. The Apostle Paul speaks of himself as an Israelite of the seed
of Abraham. He demonstrates in his own experience the fact that God hath not cast away His
people. Hating Christ, having zeal for God without knowledge, a persecutor of the church, he
had obtained mercy that in him Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to
them which should hereafter believe on Him (1Tim.1:16). His unique conversion must be looked
upon as a prophetic type of the conversion of the remnant of Israel, when the Lord comes. As
Saul of Tarsus saw Him in the glory-light, so the Israel living in the day of the second Coming of
Christ will behold Him (Zech.12:10; Rev.1:7). This vision will result in their national
conversion...
A mystery is made known. Blindness in part has happened to Israel, until the fulness of the
Gentiles be come in. The fulness of the Gentiles means, the full number of the saved, gathered
out from among the Gentiles, who constitute the church, the body of Christ. And when the body
is joined to the Head in glory, the time of the coming of the Lord for His Saints (1Thes.4:17), the
Lord will turn again to Israel. All Israel, that is, the all Israel living in the day will be saved,
when the Deliverer comes out of Zion (Isaiah 59:20; Psalm 14:7). It is the second, visible,
personal and glorious coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will turn away ungodliness from
Jacob and take away their sins. Between the coming of the Lord for the Saints, who will meet
Him in the air, and His coming in great power and glory, are the days of Jacobs trouble, when
the nation will have to pass through the fires of tribulation and the wicked among Israel will be
cut off. And after He has come and has taken away their sins, all the great prophecies of Israel's
earthly glory will be fulfilled... A doxology closes this dispensational section of the epistle.
(A.C. Gaebeleins Annotated Biblical Commentary)
* * *
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid... God hath not cast away his people
which he foreknew... I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid:
but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the
Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the
world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? And so all Israel shall be
saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As
concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they
arebeloved for the fathers sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as
ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how
unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! (Romans 11)
