In my first installment on secret societies, I detailed their 5,000+ year history and explained how all major secret societies have been rooted in a mystery religion that is directly opposed to God.

In this article, I will start to hone in on the last 250 years.

Specifically, how every major war since the French Revolution has been part of an orchestrated effort to destroy nations and create a one world government run by a collection of wealthy, international bankers.

To reiterate from my first two articles on this topic, the mystery religion evolved from the events of the Garden of Eden, purportedly passing down the secret knowledge that humans obtained when they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This knowledge flourished throughout humanity until, one day, God looked around and realized He was totally fed up with the proliferation of wickedness — so He decided to flood the garden to destroy all of creation (Genesis 6:5-7).

In the biblical and historical timeline, the mystery religion emerged post-flood with the Tower of Babel — which was humanity’s attempt to regain the antediluvian knowledge and power that they had, using a unified language to build a tower to heaven.

The mystery religion revolves around preserving and passing down this sacred knowledge to those who are initiated through rituals, displaying their religion through symbols encoded in plain sight. The knowledge, activities, and worship of these institutions typically include paganism/polytheism, sacred geometry, math, astronomy/astrology, tarot, divination, alchemy, and more.

If you missed it, my first article on these not-so-secret societies is here.

Secret Societies: The Original Pyramid Scheme

The public has long been fascinated with conspiracy theories and secret societies.

That article came on the heels of my first article on the history of the world and the evolution of religions, in which I further detailed what happened in the Garden of Eden and antediluvian activities between humans and fallen angels, here.

I highly recommend starting with this article if you haven’t, in order to understand the foundational history of this topic. It’s free (and it’s long).

Most of us grew up learning the same prescribed history of the Earth and humanity.

History of the World (Part 2)

As detailed in Part 1, there is a small group of people who have elevated themselves to elite status and have run the world for thousands of years, relying on secret occult knowledge passed down through millennia. This secret knowledge includes insights on the workings of the spiritual world and how that impacts the physical world, sacred geometry and math, time cycles and calendrical secrets, astronomy and astrology, and more.

People always ask me, “How is astrology demonic? Why is this considered sinister knowledge?” The simple truth is that if you have knowledge of time cycles and astrological events, you can use that knowledge to influence, manipulate, and control the population.

If you know when the next eclipse is, you can threaten to turn off the sun.

If you know that there’s a major meteor shower every 33 years, you can prophesy that the stars will fall from the sky — just as Joseph Smith did in 1833, exactly 39 days before the prolific Leonids meteor storm on November 13th, cementing his divine prophet status in the eyes of his followers. He claimed — and the early Mormons (Latter Day Saints) believed — that this was a fulfillment of scripture and an indication that the second coming of Christ was imminent.

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

A New World Order

The secret society has evolved and changed names dozens if not hundreds of times over the course of human history and especially in the last 1000 years— from the Knights Templar, who were dissolved amidst accusations of devil worship and reemerged as the Rosicrucians, who then merged with the stone masons guilds to create Freemasonry, who then merged with international banking and religious interests to form the Illuminati.
