Secret Societies Part 4: Land of the Free(masons)
Compass, Square, and Crossroads: The Structural and Spiritual Architecture of Mystery Babylon
Repent! The end is nigh!
Biblical doom-sayers have been predicting that the end of the world is right around the corner since nearly the moment Revelation was written.
Wars. Famines. Earthquakes. Attacks on Israel. All of these are biblical red flags for the coming apocalypse.
Christopher Columbus believed that the world was going to end within 155 years of his initial voyage across the Atlantic in 1492. He calculated these dates based on biblical prophecy about the word of God spreading to all corners of the Earth, convinced his voyages were part of God’s plan to bring about end times.
During a religious revival in the late 18th to early 19th centuries known as The Second Great Awakening, the Millerites confidently proclaimed that Christ would return in 1843 — and, when he didn’t show, they predicted his return again in 1844. This series of events became known as the “Great Disappointment,” influencing emerging denominations and creating the foundation for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Meanwhile, back in the late 1600s, Isaac Newton had calculated that the world could not end before 2060, based on his interpretation of the Book of Daniel.
So we’ve got a few years.
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.”
Luke 17:26
This is my fourth installement in a series on secret societies, and it will focus on the history of America from 1776 up to the Civil War, and the vaguely Protestant, definitely Freemasonic forces who designed the government and this nation.
For those who have been reading along, apologies for the repetitiveness of this intro — but for anyone reading for the first time, I must reiterate that there are three prior installments to this series, plus a primer on the entire history of the world and the evolution of all religions.
In the primer, which is quite long (and entirely free!), I begin by detailing what happened in the Garden of Eden and antediluvian activities between humans and fallen angels that created the basis for these secret societies in the first place, and then traced that through to modern day. That article is linked below.
In the first installment of my follow up series 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 my second installment, I honed in on the last 250 years, introducing the modern families, organizations, and goals of the interconnected secret societies, including the Rothschilds, the Illuminati, and the New World Order. Specifically, I discussed how every major war since the French Revolution has been part of an orchestrated effort to destroy separate nations and create a one world government run by a collection of wealthy, international bankers.
In my third installment, I explored the early foundations of America, including Christopher Columbus’ obsession with biblical prophecy, Amerigo Vespucci’s role as a senior official in the Medici Banking Empire, and how America went from a nation “discovered” by Catholic explorers to a nation founded by Protestant Freemasons. I also explained how — regardless of the overt motives and legitimate criticisms of the Reformation — the movement provided the basis for whole countries like England and Germany to break off from Rome, which then led to the rise of major occult secret societies including the Freemasons and the Illuminati.
Chronologically, the events of Part 3 actually occurred before and concurrently to Part 2, but I hadn’t planned on diving deep into the history of early Catholic explorers and the Protestant Reformation — until I tried to write about America starting in 1776 and realized I needed to go back another 300 years to lay the foundation. I didn’t plan out this series in advance — it was supposed to be a single article — but as I chronologically compile and summarize all the research I’ve done, it just keeps growing.
History of the World (Part 4)
To recap the first three installments, the mystery religion evolved from the events of the Garden of Eden — in which a subset of the angels purportedly defected from God, created hybrid creatures with humans and animals (resulting in giants, the half-human half-animal Egyptian and Hindu gods, the half-mortal demigods of Greek and Roman “mythology,” among others), and definitely shared secret knowledge that humans were not supposed to have.
This knowledge initially flourished throughout humanity and was not a secret — until, one day, God looked around and realized He was totally fed up with the proliferation of wickedness, so He decided to flood the earth to destroy all of creation and start over (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 passes down this secret knowledge through illicit organizations that may be split apart by continents and languages, but possess a shared esoteric symbolism. While they have evolved and changed names over the centuries, these secret societies have preserved the core themes and beliefs of the fallen angels throughout the ages.
The knowledge, activities, and worship of these institutions typically include the tenets of paganism/polytheism, sacred geometry, math, astronomy/astrology, tarot, divination, alchemy, and more. The knowledge is passed down through initiation rituals, and through displaying their religion through symbols encoded in plain sight.
In the modern day, this mystery religion has resulted in a group of wealthy international bankers working to create a one world government so that they have full control of the world’s resources. Philosophically, the mystery religion is also preparing for and attempting to bring about the return of the messiah and the end of the world by fulfilling apocalyptic prophecy.
This article will focus on America’s role as a relatively young global superpower, deliberately positioned in many ways as mystery Babylon, in this overarching story of the history of the world.
The Tower Builders
Freemasonry was officially established on June 24, 1717, at the Grand Lodge in London, England, and quickly spread to the colonies with lodges opening in Boston, Philadelphia, and Charleston in the 1730s.
However, the real history of Freemasonry dates back at least 5,000 years to the very first book of the Bible.
Tubal-Cain — the great-great-great-great grandson of Cain, Adam and Eve’s firstborn son who was both the first person ever born on Earth and the world’s first murderer — was, according to Genesis 4:22, the world’s first blacksmith, forging all manner of tools out of iron and bronze.
In the Book of Enoch, it is written that fallen angels taught humans forbidden knowledge including metallurgy and how to make weapons. In Masonic lore, Tubal-Cain was more than a blacksmith; he represents the dawn of human craftsmanship — the moment when human beings first turned raw nature into tools, weapons, and seemingly magical objects. Masons believe that Tubal-Cain was the first to possess symbols of hidden wisdom passed down through esoteric lines.
While Tubal-Cain lived before and would have perished before or during the flood, it is his original knowledge from which the mythic chain of masonic builders is said to descend.
As seen in the family tree above, Tubal-Cain’s mother was Zillah. Curiously, in Sumer — widely regarded as the earliest civilization, and the birthplace of writing — the word for iron is “barzil,” and in Akkadian, a language derived from Sumerian, the word for iron is “barzillu.” In Hebrew, “bar” means son, so “barzil” or “barzillu” may have evolved from the original Hebrew “bar Zillah,” referencing the son of Zillah as the original metal-worker — providing a historical reference point for this biblical figure who is prominent in masonic mythological tradition.
America By Any Other Name
Masonic history further traces the origins of their order from Cain’s line, through the flood preserving hidden knowledge via esoteric channels, and emerging again with Nimrod, a figure mentioned in every one of these secret society articles due to his role at the Tower of Babel.
Curiously, again, there is yet another potentially familiar sounding Sumerian word that deserves attention — Enmerkar, one of the earliest Sumerian kings, known as the inventor of writing and an empire-builder.
Genesis states that Nimrod was an empire-builder and the founder of the Babylonian city of Uruk, among other cities. Enmerkar is also described as the founder of the city of Uruk (from which the name for modern day Iraq is derived, another linguistic parallel). Nimrod is described as a mighty hunter. While the full meaning of Enmerkar’s name is debated, it is known that the suffix -kar means hunter in Sumerian. Most interestingly though, is that a tablet dating back to about 2000 BC talks about Enmerkar constructing temples (including an unfinished ziggurat at Eridu) and ruling during a time in which there was a “confusing of tongues” — famously, God confused the languages when Nimrod attempted to build the Tower of Babel. Babel, interestingly, is the Hebrew word for confused.
Enmerkar may, in fact, actually be Nimrod by another, Sumerian, name. A name that sounds suspiciously like America.
It would appear God’s decision to confuse the languages was successful.
8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in Shinar.
