THE F.A.T.A.L. FLAW
|
|
|
|
"They he brought me to the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the
|
|
north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz." Ezekiel 8:14
|
|
|
|
Since 1868, thousands of decent Christian women have innocently taken part
|
|
in pagan rites around an altar to the gods of witchcraft. They have been
|
|
deceived into bowing the knee to gods so vile and ancient that even the
|
|
pagan priests of Egypt blotted them out from their history. Women who
|
|
would blush with shame at the mention of satanism have been led to Satan's
|
|
altar by people they trusted. Often their own husbands, who were given
|
|
stewardship over them by Jesus Christ have violated that trust by leading
|
|
them into paths of idolatry.
|
|
|
|
Alarming accusations! Yet this altar of idolatry is nestled right in the
|
|
bosom of Christianity - The Order of the Eastern Star! Much has been
|
|
written on the spiritual dangers of Freemasonry. Yet the "Star," is
|
|
equally perilous.
|
|
|
|
SPIRITUAL "ADOPTION"
|
|
|
|
The Star is known as "Adoptive" Masonry. This means mothers, daughters,
|
|
wives and sisters of Freemasons my be spiritually "adopted" into the
|
|
Masonic order. Hence, they come under its spiritual authority. Now since
|
|
Lucifer is the acknowledged god of Masonry, what does this "adoption" mean
|
|
for the woman who joins the Star? She is submitting herself to the
|
|
spiritual headship of Lucifer? Even a Christian woman is surrendering
|
|
herself, however innocently, to the gods of Masonry - and this will give
|
|
Satan an entry point into her life, regardless of how devout she is.
|
|
|
|
When anyone, man or woman, becomes a Christian they are adopted into the
|
|
family of God (Rom.8:15-17). Yet when they kneel at a Masonic altar and
|
|
take those oaths, they are entering Satan's dominion, whether then know it
|
|
or not. This opens the door to all manner of problems. We have dealt with
|
|
women who entered the Star and then found their nights troubled by strange
|
|
dreams and demonic activity. As soon as they repented of their involvement
|
|
in the Star and renounced their oaths in the name of Jesus, the oppression
|
|
ceased.
|
|
|
|
This is why we are told by Paul to avoid all contact with idolatry because
|
|
of what it can bring to our very door: "Do not be yoked together with
|
|
unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or
|
|
what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there
|
|
between Christ and Belial? ...Therefore come out from them and be
|
|
separate, says the Lord." - 2 Cor.6:14-15,17.
|
|
|
|
HOOFPRINTS ARE EVERYWHERE!
|
|
|
|
We need not look far into the Star to find evidence of Satan's presence.
|
|
His hoofprints are everywhere! To begin with the most obvious, we look at
|
|
the "signet" of the Order, which is an inverted five-pointed start- called
|
|
a pentagram in witchcraft. The fact is that this inverted pentagram is so
|
|
deeply and unmistakably associated with satanism that many witches fear to
|
|
use it for fear of the demons they attract. This star is used to draw down
|
|
the kingdom of Satan into manifestation on earth! (MAN, MYTH AND MAGIC,
|
|
vol.16,p.2159)
|
|
|
|
This star can be drawn with the goat's-head inside. It then becomes the
|
|
badge of the Satanist, the infamous Goat of Mendes! This goat's name is
|
|
Baphomet, and it is the blasphemous god of the 12th Century Knights Templar
|
|
(the ancestors of today's Freemasons).
|
|
|
|
Here is this sinister star, exalted as the very centerpiece of the Chapter!
|
|
Not only is the star inverted, by the colorful attributes of the 5 points
|
|
are even the correct colors for the four magical elements, air (blue),
|
|
earth (yellow), water (green) and fire (red); plus the fifth point, the
|
|
bottom, represents "akasha," the spiritual power of the "astral plane"
|
|
which is the fusion of all the other "rays" of the star into white.
|
|
|
|
It is evident that the person who designed the Eastern Star had more than a
|
|
passing knowledge of black magic. That, in itself should make Christians
|
|
nervous. The Bible forbids any involvement with sorcery:
|
|
|
|
"Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the
|
|
fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in
|
|
witchcraft, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. -
|
|
Deut.18:10-11
|
|
|
|
Worship of starts is especially condemned:
|
|
|
|
The houses in Jerusalem and those of the kings of Judah will be defiled
|
|
like this place, Topheth - all the houses where they burned incense on the
|
|
roofs to all starry hosts and poured out drink offerings to other gods. -
|
|
Jer.19:13
|
|
|
|
He (King Manassah) built altars to all the starry hosts. He sacrificed his
|
|
own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted
|
|
mediums and spiritists. -2 Kings 21:5-6
|
|
|
|
Please note the grievous sins associated with star-worship. "Tophet" is a
|
|
place where during the days of deepest sin in Israel, parents sacrificed
|
|
their children to the god Molech! It is a "place of burning" which later
|
|
on came to be known as Gehenna, the word often used by Jesus for hell!
|
|
(EERDMANS' CONCISE BIBLE HANDBOOK, P.203). Manassah sacrificed his own son
|
|
in the fire!
|
|
|
|
If you lay out a satanic star and offer devotions at it, the moral and
|
|
spiritual consequences are ominous! You may say that you have been in the
|
|
Star for years and you are still a good member of your church and that you
|
|
aren't making sacrifices of your children - but think!
|
|
|
|
Are our children not being sacrificed every day through abortion? Are not
|
|
the generations reared under the influence of the Star the first mothers to
|
|
lay their babies willingly upon the altars of the abortion clinic by the
|
|
millions? Are we not seeing the dividends of this pagan worship in the
|
|
corruption of the very ideals of motherhood? Are we not witnessing the
|
|
moral destruction of whole generations of children because of the mothers'
|
|
participation in these "harmless rituals"?
|
|
|
|
Perhaps it is too much to blame the moral decay of our children on the
|
|
Star, but remember how in the Bible, the people of Israel kept falling into
|
|
disaster because they allowed a ""little" idolatry to creep into their
|
|
culture. If you wish to corrupt a culture, corrupt its mothers - and the
|
|
spiritual leprosy of Masonry is doing just that!
|
|
|
|
"HIS STAR IN THE EAST"
|
|
|
|
At this point you may protest and say that the Star is based on biblical
|
|
stories and that the star of the altar is intended to represent the "star
|
|
in the east" mention in Mt.2:2 which heralded the birth of Jesus. You may
|
|
point out that the motto of the order is: "We have seen his star in the
|
|
East and are come to worship Him." This sounds very pious, but actually it
|
|
is misdirection!
|
|
|
|
First of all, the star of Bethlehem could not have been an "eastern star,"
|
|
since most biblical expositors agree that the magi came form the east, and
|
|
that therefor a star over Judea would be in the western sky to their
|
|
viewpoint. Some scholars feel that the passage means that the magi were
|
|
"in the east" when they saw the star - others say that the term "in the
|
|
east" can also be translated alternately as "seen when it rose," meaning
|
|
that they saw the star as it rose.
|
|
|
|
STRONG'S CONCORDANCE, in fact, gives the primary meaning of the Greek word
|
|
there, Anatole, as a rising of light; with "eastern" as only a figurative
|
|
meaning. VINE'S EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY concurs. The "Eastern Star" cannot
|
|
be the star of Bethlehem! Then whose star is it?
|
|
|
|
In reality, the Eastern Star is a term among sorcerers for the star Sirius.
|
|
(See CITY OF REVELATION by John Michell, p.4) This fits perfectly because
|
|
in black magic, the inverted pentagram is the sign of Sirius or Set. (See
|
|
ALEISTER CROWLEY AND THE HIDDEN GOD by Kenneth Grant, p.12). But who is
|
|
Sirius, or Set?
|
|
|
|
Sirius is the "Dog Star", the first star to rise in the east in the
|
|
latitudes of Egypt. It is sacred to Set, the satanic figure of Egyptian
|
|
religion. The Egyptians celebrated Sirius' ascendancy in the skies with
|
|
horrible, obscene rituals! In fact, the rites of Sirius or Set were so
|
|
debased that later rulers of Egypt deface their temples and obelisks and
|
|
tried to drive them from the land (See Grant, pp.70-71).
|
|
|
|
"THE F.A.T.A.L FLAW"
|
|
|
|
When the ladies of the Star say, "We have seen His Star in the East and are
|
|
come to worship Him.", who is "Him?" Is it the Jesus of Calvary or is it
|
|
some dogheaded, obscence god named Set? What does the evidence tell us?
|
|
|
|
The Biblical elements in the Star ceremony are suspect to say the least -
|
|
based as they are upon dubious actions and mythical additions to the Bible.
|
|
Yet the occult elements in the Star's symbolism are obvious for anyone to
|
|
see! The Eastern Star is not the star which heralds Jesus, but the star
|
|
which heralds Set - the most ancient form of Satan in recorded history!
|
|
|
|
But you may say that you don't believe in Set, and that you believe that
|
|
you are performing pious exercises. You say that you thought the Star was
|
|
a order which worships the true God. But my dear friends, every person
|
|
believes that the god they worship is the true God. The important they is
|
|
that if you are a Christian, the Bible tells you to "avoid even the
|
|
appearance of evil." -1 Thess. 5:22 and to "keep yourselves from idols." -1
|
|
Jn.5:21. How can you keep yourself from idols when every other week or so
|
|
you gather around the most ancient and evil idol in human history?
|
|
|
|
Is your presence in the Chapter really pleasing to the God who thundered
|
|
from Mt. Sinai and said, "I am the Lord your God..you shall have no other
|
|
gods before me." You can no longer protest innocence. You know the evil
|
|
origins of the symbols of the star and you know that the Lord Jesus forbade
|
|
the taking of oaths of any kind (Mt.5:33-37). What more do you need than
|
|
the knowledge that you are breaking the commands of the Gentle Master Whom
|
|
you serve?
|
|
|
|
That is the F.A.T.A.L. flaw of the Star. The very term "cabalistic word"
|
|
refers to an ancient system of Jewish magic--the Quabalah! The Star's
|
|
"word" may be "Fairest Among Thousands Altogether Lovely," but it is asking
|
|
you to choose between the star of the evil and One who is your beloved
|
|
Bridegroom, "...dazzling and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand." -
|
|
Cant.5:10 Flee the headship and authority of Satan, and return to the arms
|
|
of Him who should be your Head, your Bridegroom, and your Savior, Jesus
|
|
Christ!
