Zion vs the Beast III: Daniel's Little Horn

 Previously: The Babylonian System

If you read Part II of this series, you'll have barely scratched the surface of the history of the war between English and French Freemasonry, but just that cursory knowledge is enough for Mr. Daniel's insights on the prophecies of John and Daniel to begin to make sense. By way of disclaimer, I must stress again that these scriptural interpretations are a combination of Mr. Daniel's and my own. And as always, I could be wrong, however, I feel impressed to share these things because I believe that studying history and philosophy can prepare us to understand prophecy as it begins to unfold. 

As I stated in Part II, both Nephi and Jesus have offered clues that have been recorded in the Book of Mormon text that will help us prepare for the last-days tribulation. Jesus said that Isaiah spoke of things that hath been and shall be, hinting that we should study history in order to anticipate future prophecy. And Nephi told us that the words of Isaiah will be of great worth to us in our day, "for in that day shall they understand them." Nephi uses the words of Isaiah as his testimony of the things he saw and was forbidden to write, because Isaiah saw the same things. He just recorded it in coded language that is hard to decipher, but I believe that it is supposed to be that way. It should take arduous effort and careful study, even "ponderous and solemn thoughts," to attempt to comprehend the things of God. If it were too easy, we would take it for granted, and it would become a source of pride for us. Jesus admonished us, through the Nephites, to "search the prophets, for many there be that testify of these things." Here is another clue: God revealed certain aspects of the future to each of the prophets, each containing certain pieces of the puzzle. Consequently, uncovering each puzzle piece requires familiarity with not only Jewish culture and history, but a history of all nations and peoples. The following admonition (actually a commandment) to the Saints in Joseph's day surely still applies to us:

Teach diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand, of things both in Heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, and things which must shortly come to pass, things which are at home, things which are abroad, the wars and perplexities of the nations, and a knowledge also of countries and kingdoms; that you may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you and the mission with which I have commissioned you. (T&C 86:14, emphasis added)

Here again the Lord has given us clues to understanding prophecy: things which have been and must shortly come to pass, combined with, a knowledge of countries and kingdoms. Mr. Daniel, in his thoroughly researched book, Scarlet and the Beast, has precisely followed this admonition, even though he has probably never read the Doctrine and Covenants and believes Mormonism is just another branch of Freemasonry. He has taken a comprehensive history of Freemasonry and applied it to how its influence and revolutions have shaped nations, kingdoms, and countries into our modern global milieu. This revisionist view of history, when read in conjunction with Isaiah, Nephi, and other prophets of the Old Testament, makes perfect sense when applied to the metaphors describing John and Daniel's Beast. A beast, after all, is an animal, driven by pure instinct, with little ability to think or reason. A beast must be bridled to reign in its animalistic urges, otherwise it will wreak havoc upon all who are attempting to domesticate it.  

John tells us that the beast he saw was in the likeness of the kingdoms of the earth, a clue that equates the beast with unchecked, unbridled, undiluted, raw...  State power. What he saw was the natural passions of men who dream of using the abstractive State as a means to crush, control, enslave, kill, plunder, and make themselves gods among men. If one strips away the veneer of pietistic pomp, lavish regalia, feigned altruism, pretended philanthropy, and pseudo statesmanship of such men, one is left with nothing but their true selves and desires; an image of a hideous beast. A monster which no amount of power and authority can satiate, an emperor stripped of his clothes, basking in the naked hubris of his own self-delusions and vain ambitions. Such men God will not have to destroy, for they will destroy themselves, just as Nephi has predicted. They will be drunken with their own blood, being so consumed with power that they will kill anyone for just a chance to obtain a small amount of it. Their lust for authority is their addiction, and ironically, it will become their end, just as it was for the Jaredites and the Nephites. 

With that imagery in your mind, let's dive into what the prophets have said. Every word has meaning. Every stone unturned is hiding a clue. This will not be light reading. Open your mind, and ask for the Spirit to judge the truth of what I write. If I’m wrong I welcome correction. Let's begin.

Heads, Horns, Carpenters, and Waters

 The prophet Zechariah had the following vision:

Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns. And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. And the Lord showed me four carpenters. Then said I, What do these come to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head, but these have come to frighten them, to cast out the horns of the gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. (Zechariah 1:4, RE) 

According to Mr. Daniel, the "horns" may be referring to governmental or kingly power, especially of the Gentile nations. This imagery dates back to Nimrod, who was often depicted with bull horns, and some archaeologists believe that he actually wore a physical crown of them. Later, the Babylonian god Molech was depicted as the minotaur, or half man, half bull. In the book of Genesis, Nimrod is described as being a "mighty one in the earth," and he built a city and a tower in the land of Shinar, or Babylonia. Mr. Daniel elucidates that the city represented his political power, and the tower his religious power. He had control of both church and state, which, as you recall, is the stated goal of Mystery Babylon, the mother of harlots. In fact, Nimrod was the first (after the flood) to establish the Babylonian System, in which kings were considered divine and had total control over their subjects. Mr. Daniel explains that Zechariah's horns represent the kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome, as the scatterers of the Jews, and that the carpenters represent revolutions against those horns. In Hebrew the word carpenter is synonymous with mason, and Freemasons use the compass and the square as their symbols, both are tools used in carpentry. Although the horns represent ancient kingdoms, the carpenters may represent modern revolutions. As Mr. Daniel points out, Freemasonry has backed the English (1688), American (1776), French (1789), and Russian (1917) revolutions. Other translations of the Bible substitute the word "fray" for frighten in Zechariah 1:4 quoted above. Fray in Hebrew means, "to shudder with terror," which is interesting, because the French Revolution was called the Reign of Terror, and the Bolshevik Revolution was called the Red Terror. Each one of the revolutions listed above have contributed to emancipating the Jews, as Mr. Daniel explains:

We can trace the stages of this movement: France gave full emancipation to the Jews in 1791. Russia gave birth to the Zionist movement in the latter half of the 19th century. England gave Palestine to Zionists following World War I. And America guarantees Israel's survival today. (Scarlet and the Beast, p. 526) 

King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was the first of the "horns" to subdue Judah, and Daniel was the captured Israelite prophet who found favor with this king. Nebuchadnezzar is another representation of the Babylonian System, as you recall he made an image out of gold and forced everyone to worship it, the only resisters being Daniel and his three friends. This is a typology of the future Beast system that John wrote about, and I think it no coincidence that Daniel's vision occurs shortly after the account of the fiery furnace. God is showing us the typology and the prophecy of what is to come, John and Daniel being two witnesses of the same thing. This typology is that at some future time the Beast will force all to worship his image or be killed, just as king Nebuchadnezzar did. 

While Zechariah saw four horns, Daniel saw four beasts coming out of the sea. Remember, this is imagery for kingdoms rising up over masses of people, represented by water. The vision is as follows:

And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first as like a lion and had eagle's wings. I beheld until the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold, another beast, a second like a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it, between the teeth of it. And they said thus unto it: Arise, devour much flesh. After this, I beheld and saw another, like a Leopard which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl. The beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to it. 

These beasts represents different empires, possibly the same empires seen by Zechariah: Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. However, it is the next part of the vision that I want to focus on:

After this, I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and exceedingly strong, and it had great iron teeth. It devoured, and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it, and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. (Daniel 7:1, RE)

This fourth beast is similar to the beast that John describes, who will "rise up out of the sea," who was like a leopard, but had the feet of a bear, and the mouth of a lion. Notice that the leopard, bear, and lion, earthly empires described by Daniel, will be part of the last days beast as described by John, who was hinting at a one-world government. Notice also that both beasts had ten horns (more on that later). So who is the fourth beast described by Daniel? Some speculate it is Rome, which was the most powerful military empire that existed before the heydays of Britain and the United States. His imagery of great iron teeth, breaking in pieces, stamping the residue, and being diverse from all other beasts, fits perfectly with the Roman Empire. But who is Daniel's "little horn"? This is where it gets interesting. 

John describes the horns as having "ten crowns," signifying kingdoms. However, a "little horn" fits more with a rising kingdom, or a nation that has not yet become a kingdom. This little horn's beginning had something to do with plucking the roots of three other horns. This will fit perfectly with a particular nation you are all familiar with, but I won't give it away quite yet. Later in Daniel's vision the Lord offered the interpretation of the vision:

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings who shall arise out of the earth; but the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. 

Daniel's attention then turns to the fourth beast:

Then I desired to know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; and of the ten horns that were his head, and of the other which came up and before whom three fell, even of that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 

What other nation could this fourth beast be but ancient Rome? Who was "diverse" from all others because it was a world empire. Truly, Rome "devoured, broke in pieces," and "stamped the residue" of many nations and peoples. Daniel then sees what this beast does both anciently and in the future:

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 

Ancient Rome prevailed against the saints, torturing, executing, enslaving, and scattering them, and then coopted them with the rising of Constantine and Catholicism. But, the Ancient of Days (Adam/Michael) has not come yet (he will return before the second coming of Christ), so Daniel is seeing the future when this same beast will persecute the saints once again. Not only will the beast prevail against the saints, he "shall devour the whole earth":

Thus he [the Lord] said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise. And another shall rise after them, and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.  

This beast, the fourth, who is ancient Rome, will rise again in the latter-days, and shall again be diverse from the rest, and shall be at the head of ten kings, and shall subdue three kings. Recall from Daniel 7:1 that the "little horn" is made up of three other horns, which means this new beast will be the maturation of the little horn, and cannot be ancient Rome. That kingdom is long gone, buried deep within the annals of history, with only dust remaining. So who is this new beast? Daniel gets a few more clues from the Lord:

And he [the beast] shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws. And they shall be given unto his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time. But the judgement shall sit and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom, and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Hitherto is the end of the matter. (Daniel 7:6-8, RE) 

This beast will "wear out the saints of the Most High," for "a time, and times, and the dividing of time," which could be referring to the seven years tribulation period. He will "think to change times and laws," which could be referring to some kind of reset, something folks have been talking a lot about recently. We still don't have enough information to name this beast, but there are more clues in the second chapter of Daniel, when he interprets king Nebuchadnezzar's dream. For those of us who grew up in the corporate Church this vision has been drilled into our minds as "proof" that the LDS Church is the kingdom of God, "cut out of the mountain, without hands," that will one day fill the whole earth. However, when the entire chapter (and the entire book of Daniel for that matter) is read in context, such an narrow interpretation of Daniel's vision becomes laughable. The kingdom of God is not a church, or some tax-exempt corporation (it cannot be a legal fiction), it is God's political kingdom that will be left standing after the Beast and the Whore destroy each other. It is the kingdom that Christ alone deserves to reign in as King of kings and Lord of lords. In the context of Daniel's vision, this will begin as the latter-day Zion, which will eventually fill all of North and South America, and from old Jerusalem will fill the other half of the earth. All who are allowed to dwell in this kingdom will be made free, and all partakers of the heavenly gift. 

Here is the dream that Nebuchadnezzar had. Try to forget everything you've been taught about it, try to cast those narrow traditions of the LDS Church out of your mind, as if you are reading it for the first time:

You, O king, saw and beheld a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you, and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of find gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thigh of brass, his legs of iron, his feet, part of iron and part of clay. You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay and broke them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Before we get into Daniel's interpretation, there are a few things to consider. The king beheld an image, meaning something that is an abstraction, something that is not real. Yet the image appeared to be made of gold, silver, brass, iron and clay. It appeared to be made of substance, but was, in point of fact, merely an empty reflection. In the first post I wrote on this blog, Gadianton's and the State, I made the argument that the State is nothing but an image. It is not real, it is an abstraction. The State is the image that those who control the government hide behind, as if it were some self-thinking, autonomous being, some collective beast that has a mind of its own. Yet, when taken to its logical conclusion, it is only a mask. A mask worn by those Gadianton's who use it for their own ends, namely, to murder and to plunder. But a stone, now that's real. It has substance. Yet, it is not made of anything shiny like gold, silver, or brass. It appears to be worthless, yet hidden beneath that pedestrian appearance is something tangible, something weighty, something that can easily crush an image by merely existing. 

But who is looking for an ordinary stone? Who will notice it when gold is glittering all around them? States appear to have powerful armies and navies, they appear to have stringent laws that curtail and control, they appear to have vast regions of land under their purview, they appear to be your overlords and task masters. But it's all just an image, none of it is real. God, who is in the stone, the plain and simple rock, wherein there is no beauty or desirability, is the overlooked King. The earth belongs to Him, and that stone that looks like billions of other stones, will rise up and morph into a mountain, a tangible edifice that one will be obliged to notice on account of its sheer size. This dream, my friends, is a metaphor for Zion, it will eventually become a mountain that will fill the whole earth, destroying other kingdoms only by the fact that it exists. Now that you have this imagery fresh in your mind, let's read Daniel's interpretation:

This is the dream, and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. You, O king, are a king of kings, for the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven has he given into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold. And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things, and as iron that breaks all these shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of the potters' clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided, but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly broken. And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 

The four kingdoms described by both Daniel and Zachariah, according to Biblical scholars that Mr. Daniel defers to, are Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. Mr. Daniel subscribes to the idea that the dividing of the fourth kingdom refers to the separation of Rome into the Eastern and Western empires under Constantine, and that the "feet and toes" refers to its subsequent breaking apart. After Rome fell the seat of Mystery Babylon, or Satan's church, moved, eventually ending up in London. It was there in London Town, the only part of London that William the Conqueror couldn't conquer, that the maritime merchants imported their Lex Mercantoria system from ancient Rome, the infamous law of the sea, or Maritime Admiralty Law. I wrote about that in this post and that post. Daniel's imagery of iron and clay could signify the breaking up of the Roman Empire as Mr. Daniel opines, or it could have a deeper, more general meaning. Remember, prophecy is a mixture of the past and future, and as you will see in the next verse, part of this prophecy is about things that have not yet happened. 

Iron could be a metaphor for prostituted government, i.e., the unbridled power (brute force) of the State controlled by Gadiantons, and clay could be a metaphor for us, the subjects of the State. Scripture refers to our bodies as tabernacles of clay, which are moldable, formed by our Creator. Iron, however, is not so moldable, and requires intense heat to liquify, upwards of 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. I think that what Daniel is telling us is that iron and clay cannot mix without revolution, because revolution has always been associated with fire and heat. In Rock Waterman's latest blog post, he plugged the book Fire in the Minds of Men, which uses this same imagery in regard to historic revolutions. Daniel's interpretation of the king's dream could have multiple meanings: the breaking up of Rome, the moving of the headquarters of Mystery Babylon, the revolutions that French Freemasonry has orchestrated against English Freemasonry, and the incompatibility of enslaved humanity to coexist with totalitarian government; such a scenario eventually ends up in revolution.

Daniel could be hinting at one more concept: irony. The word irony is derived from the word iron, which, in addition to its application to a hard metal, also means "powerful, holy, vigorous, and strong." Perhaps what Daniel is saying is that it is ironic that the State is compared to iron, because the State is merely an image, it does not exist in the real world. The tangible iron that emanates from the State are leaders, armies, weapons, munitions, tanks, aircraft, buildings, etc., implements that we can see and feel the "iron" weight of. But the abstractive elements the State is associated with, such as power, grandiosity, and “higher” morality, are illusions. States can only hold onto these abstractive concepts if the people, i.e., the clay, believe they are inherent in the State by virtue of its existence. But once those beliefs are changed, i.e., revolution, the State is relegated to the idea it began as, and the cycle repeats. 

Here is the rest of Daniel's interpretation: 

And in the days of these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (Daniel 2:6-7, RE) 

At this point Daniel's focus has gone to the future Zion, "the stone cut out of the mountain without hands," meaning that it will be God's work, not the work of men. Yet he says that Zion will come "in the days of these kings." How is that possible if the kingdoms he his talking about are of ancient date? This would have to mean that those ancient empires will return in some form or another in our day, but to get the rest of this story, we have to turn to Saint John. However, before we do so, there are a few more details to explore on the headquarters of Mystery Babylon, or English Freemasonry. 

Ground Zero and the Seven Kings

Ground zero for Mystery Babylon, according to Mr. Daniel, is "10 Duke Street, St. James's, London, England SWI - the 33rd degree Supreme Council Headquarters of English Freemasonry." He makes a pretty good case for this, and remember, he is writing in 1995:

As we have seen, English Freemasonry, the mother of all Freemasonry, claims her roots in ancient Babylon. With over 9,000 temple-lodges scattered throughout most nations of the world, (and with over 7,000 in Great Britain alone, including 1,700 in London) English Freemasonry is the largest harlot religion on earth today. Moreover, this modern Whore of Babylon has given birth to hundreds of modern secret societies, cults, think tanks, and a variety of political orders. (Scarlet, p. 534)

Drawing from Edith Miller’s book, Occult Theocrasy (1933), he lists many of the "political orders, think tanks, cults, and modern secret societies." I will list some of the most famous ones:

• From England: Rosicrucians, Round Table Groups, Fabian Society, Rock and Roll music (beginning with the Beatles), Theosophical Society. 
• From Germany: Illuminati, Thule Society.
• From France: Scottish Rite, French Grand Lodge, Grand Orients, Jacobins, Communism, Socialism, League of Nations, EEC (European Economic Community), the United States of Europe.
• From Italy: Mafia.
• From Russia: Nihilists and Anarchists.
• From America: Scottish Rite, York Rite, Shriners, Christian Science, Ku Klux Klan Lucis Mist, Church of Scientology, National Council of Churches, Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the United Nations, and the New Age Movement. (Ibid, p. 534)

In addition to London, I've suspected for some time that New York, specifically Wall Street, is a second home-base of Mystery Babylon. London and New York are, after all, the financial centers of the world. A while back I wrote a post analyzing D. Todd Christopherson's talk on Sustainable Societies, a term that comes from the UN's Agenda for Sustainable Development. The article, entitled, Is Zion a "Sustainable Society"?, is a rabbit hole that explores the occult origins of the United Nations (to which the LDS Church is now contributing copious financial donations), the headquarters of which are located in New York City. In fact, the former address for the Lucifer Publishing Company (changed to Lucis Trust or Lucis Mist), created by theosophists Alice Bailey and Helena Blavatsky, is 666 United Nations Plaza, New York City. It doesn't get any more blatant than that. Later, I'll get into the mystery school's concept of the "secret destiny of America," which is to them, "the land of the plumed serpent." Remember, God creates and Satan imitates, copy-catting even the concept of "promised-lands." In my opinion, New York City is just as much "ground zero" as London; this was made profoundly evident when, on 911, they deliberately brought down the Twin Towers, the esoteric representation of the Pillars of Hercules, signaling that the financial system of the world was about to change... an important step in preparing the world for the Beast system. 

In John's vision of Scarlet, he sees her riding on a political beast that has seven heads and ten horns. The angel showing the vision gives John this important key to understanding it:

And here is the mind which has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. (Revelation 6:12, RE)

Other Biblical prophets, specifically Isaiah, have used mountains and hills as representations of nations. Hills being smaller nation-states, and mountains being large empires, kingdoms, republics or democracies. Nephi saw Scarlet having "dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people." But John saw her sitting on only seven nations, which means that these seven nations must have preeminence over the rest of the earth. And since prophecy can be a mixture of past and future, the seven nations could represent historic and future world powers. Mr. Daniel defers to William Goetz, in his book, Apocalypse Next, who identifies the following six ancient empires that had major influence over Israel: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. 

Continuing with John's vision, he tells us that there are seven kings over the seven mountains, and the the seventh has not yet come:

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition. (Revelation 6:12, RE)

The first five kings, ancient Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Greece are all fallen empires that now only speak to us from the dust. Number six, the one that "is," is old Rome, the empire that existed when John wrote Revelation. The seventh king, who only continues a "short space," is a nation that rises and falls quickly, and the eighth, is the one that was, and is not, being both number six and eight. If ancient Rome is number six, who is number eight? It would have to be a nation that is patterned after old Rome, a mini-Rome if you will. Could this mini-Rome, or "revived Rome," as Mr. Daniel calls it, be the same nation as Daniel's "little horn" that we read about earlier - the nation that is made up of the roots of three other horns? Before we reveal this 8th beast, who is part of the Beast of the apocalypse, there is a little more history to get into, history of some secret societies that emanated from England around the turn of the 20th century. 

But before we get into that history, can we identify the seventh king, the one who only continues a "short space"? Mr. Daniel speculates that this king could be Hitler and the mountain could be Nazi Germany. Hitler's Germany shares characteristics with the preceding five kingdoms in that they were civilizations based on pagan sun-worship and the occult. The swastika, as Mr. Daniel points out, "is an eastern occult symbol of the sun." Just like those ancient empires, who were controlled by the early Mystery religions, i.e., the ancient Mother of Harlots, Hitler's Germany was bolstered and financed by English Freemasonry, the modern Mother of Harlots. Hitler was overzealous to implement world government based on the Babylonian system, and as a result he fell in rapid succession. 

Seven Wills for Seven Mountains

The seven mountains that Scarlet sits on have been carefully subjugated by her clandestine secret societies. The group that is primarily responsible for Scarlet's modern mountains is none other than the Round Table Group, founded by Alfred Milner in 1909. The Round Table Group was the brainchild of Cecil Rhodes, the famous anglophile that wanted to put English Freemasonry (and the British Empire) back on the world map. Disgruntled with the loss of the American colonies a century before, and the subsequent weakening of the British Empire, Rhodes wanted to form a secret society with:

...but one object - the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilized world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, [and] for... making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire. (Quoted in Scarlet, p. 439)

Rhodes made his fortune early in his life, which was only 49 years long (1853-1902), in the business of diamond mining in South Africa. By the time he began college at Oxford he was already wealthy, and through loans from Lord Nathan Rothschild, Mayer's son, Rhodes bought up other diamond mines and quickly monopolized the trade in the purchase of DeBeer's mining company. Rhodes vast wealth was allocated in seven wills, which allowed his predecessors, including Alfred (Lord) Milnor and H.G. Wells, to create the Round Table groups and Rhodes Scholarship program. These groups were dedicated to the goals of English Freemasonry, and to the furtherance of the British Empire, which was spreading in South Africa and India. Because of Rhodes' wealth and preeminence in South Africa, he became the Prime Minister of Cape Colony, and was both revered and hated by the people there. The former country known as Rhodesia, was named after him, and to this day there are mixed feelings about his legacy. The 2006 movie Blood Diamond is based on the story of the DeBeers monopoly. 

The book that was recommended earlier, that was also plugged on Rock Waterman's latest blog post, Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of Revolutionary Faith, was written by a Rhodes Scholar, James H. Billington. More than just a history of revolution, it is an attempt to expose French Freemasonry as the perpetrators of revolutions against English Freemasonry. Here are Billington's own words in describing this phenomenon:

So great, indeed, was the general impact of Freemasonry in the revolutionary era that some understanding of the Masonic milieu seems an essential starting point for any serious Inquiry into the occult roots of the revolutionary tradition. (Quoted in Ibid, p. 441)

Another highly influential Rhodes Scholar was Dr. Carroll Quigley, author of Tragedy and Hope and, The Anglo-American Establishment. It was this scholar that Bill Clinton, also a Rhodes Scholar, gave homage to in a speech at the Democratic convention in 1992. Quigley was a professor of history at Georgetown University for 35 years, and was taken in by the Anglo-American establishment and allowed to study its secret records. The books he authored exposing the conspiracy was not an exposition at all, but rather a recommendation of the group and its goals. He traces the history all the way back to the Round Table groups, which formed other think-tank offshoots such as the Royal Institute of International Affairs (London 1919), the Council on Foreign Relations (New York 1921), and the Institute of Pacific Relations (organized in 1925 by 12 countries encompassing the Pacific Rim). 

The people in these think-tanks weren't necessarily privy to the goals of the insiders at the top. G. Edward Griffin describes these groups as "circles within concentric circles" of conspiracy. Those who get accepted into the outer circles are usually idealists who buy into socialism, communism, Fabianism, or any other form of collectivism or Statism, and ignorantly do the bidding of the top echelon, who use these ideals to further their plan of aristocratic world government. Griffin gave a lecture in 2008 that he called The Quigley Formula, and I highly recommend watching it, as he brings the entire thing together concisely and succinctly: 

Saint John saw the last-days Beast as a tripartite animal, rising out of the sea, and empowered by the Devil himself:

And I saw another sign, in the likeness of the kingdoms of the earth, a beast, rise up out of the sea, and stood upon the sand of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his head the name of Blasphemy. 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 Devil gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority... (Revelation 4:6, RE)

This animal imagery could be describing three regions of the world. John, living in the part of the world that he did, would've been familiar with leopards, bears, and lions. However, he said that the beast was like unto a leopard, which could signify other large predatory cats. One such cat with similar characteristics to leopards is the jaguar, which John would've never seen because they inhabit North and South America. To me, this means that the main body of the last-days Beast will be primarily American, while the bear could represent Asia, specifically Russia, and the lion Europe, specifically England. Perhaps George Orwell was more prophetic than he realized when he divided the world into three regional powers: Eastasia, Eurasia, and Oceania. John tells us that the Devil (meaning the church of the Devil) gave the Beast his power, seat, i.e., government, and authority. Mystery Babylon, or English Freemasonry, will give this Beast total authority over the world, but, as John describes later, the Beast will turn on the Whore and devour her:

And he [the angel] says unto me, The water which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw 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; for God has put it into their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree and give their kingdom unto the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth. (Revelation 6:13, RE)

Recall in Revelation 6:12 that the seven heads are seven mountains (nations), and the ten horns are ten kings, who:

 ...have received no kingdom as yet, but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 

These ten kings will be subordinate to the Beast, and it makes sense to me that the world will be divided up into ten regions, created by the seven mountains. These regions, split between the tripartite Beast, will have a beehive mentality, they will have one mind with the Beast (this is very interesting language in light of the fact that Christ also wants those in Zion to have "one heart and one mind"; is this another Satanic substitute for Zion?). Going back to the animal imagery for just a moment, it is my opinion that the jaguar represents power and control, the bear represents appendages, such as foot soldiers (Asian or Russian), and the lion represents propaganda, as in the lying words of English Freemasonry (scheming from behind the scenes in secret societies) used to form this monstrous Beast. The seven mountains that will be the foundation of the ten kings, or ten regions, will come from seven nations that will the most influential prior to the rising of the beast. 

Mr. Daniel equates these seven mountains with the seven nations that made up the Trilateral Commission, formed in 1973 by David Rockefeller and other globalists. This political entity was another product of the Round Table groups, and divided the world in three cooperating regions: Japan, Western Europe, and North America. The original G7 (group of nations) that made up the Trilateral Commission were the United States, Canada, England, Japan, France, Italy, and Germany. Mr. Daniel makes a side by side comparison with the six historic nations and one modern nation described in Revelation 6:12 (remember the five fallen kings, one that falls and is revived, and one that continues a short space) as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and Nazi Germany (see Scarlet, p. 553). Since 1973, the number of nations that are members of the Trilateral Commission has grown considerably, but the original seven nations remain the foundation of the organization. This is just one possibility of John's seven mountains, which could be both a past and a future prophecy. 

Personally, I think that this is a very interesting connection that Mr. Daniel has made, but I must stress again, that you must make up your own mind about the book of Revelation, the truth of which can only be revealed to you by the Spirit. The clues that Nephi, John, Daniel, Isaiah, and other prophets have left along our path, are just that, incomplete clues, and we will not see the big picture until these things actually begin to unfold. The purpose of this post is to share with you readers some fascinating insights I've stumbled onto that may give you a foundational point to start looking, if you are so inclined to study these things out. Please don't believe anything that I write without verifying it, and for heaven's sake do your own research before you come to any conclusions. With that said, let's move onto the next clue that Daniel leaves us as we search for the identity of the last-days Beast. 

He Shall Not Regard Any God

In chapter 11 and 12 of the KJV of Daniel (chapter 10 of the Restoration Edition), Daniel describes a future war between four kings, and the battle will eventually come down to two: the king of the North and the king of the South. The king of the North will prevail, and I think this king is one of the kings who will dominate the last-days Beast, which could also be the king of Assyria described by Isaiah. You will have to read the entire chapter/chapters to get the full context, but here is how Daniel describes this king, and it is loaded with clues:

And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god, for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces, and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strongholds with a strange god whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory. And he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. (Daniel 10:15, RE)

The first clue is that this king shares the same characteristics as the king of Assyria described by Isaiah. Most notably, his arrogance. He will think that it is because of his strength and his wisdom that he will be able to "remove the borders of the people," i.e., take over the whole world. Here is how Isaiah describes him:

For he saith, By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom have I done these things, for am I prudent. And I have removed the borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man. And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people, and as one gathereth eggs that are left have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. Shall the ax boast itself against him the heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood... (2 Nephi 9:7, RE)

Can you see the hubris of this man? Is it not unreasonable that this could be Daniel's king as well? Who will "exalt" and "magnify" himself, speaking blasphemous things against the true God, while not regarding any gods but the God of forces? Mr. Daniel reveals that "the Hebrew word for forces literally means ‘fortified place, fortress, or strength’" (Scarlet, p. 548). This king worships his own forces, meaning his own armies, weapons, and military strongpoints. These are the things he trusts in. The next clue is that he will not regard the "God of his fathers." What is Daniel talking about? The "god" of his fathers is none other than Lucifer, the god of English Freemasonry. Remember, it is the Mother of Harlots that will give this man his power, these are his "fathers." But once he gets a taste of that power he will not regard the source of it, falsely believing that it came from himself... the ultimate twist of irony for Mystery Babylon. The next clue is that he shall "not regard any god," meaning that he will be an atheist, believing that man is the highest source of knowledge, power, and authority. As to Daniel's comments about gold, silver (riches) and strongholds, Mr. Daniel makes this interesting observation:

Daniel is revealing that the god of the end-time Beast will be an awesome "defense" force that the world "respects" - a defense force that is "built up" with "riches." We know that today's [1995] military armament is promoted as "defense," and that, ironically, military budgets are called "defense budgets." Revelation 13:4 confirms the awesome defense capability of the Beast: "Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" (Scarlet, p. 548)

The Beast's god will be military might, false gods of stone and steel, which he will use to terrorize and tyrannize the world. Mr. Daniel explains that the Beast, rejecting the: 

Mystery Babylonian religion of English Freemasonry...,  will instead follow the atheistic-humanist tradition of French Freemasonry. The allegiance of the Beast to French Freemasonry is confirmed in scripture. You recall that French Freemasonry declared in 1877 that there is no God. It proclaimed its secular humanism in the motto, "To the Glory of Humanity." Likewise, the Beast regards no god. And like French Freemasonry, which made a god of humanity, the Beast then "exult[s] himself, and magnif[ies] himself above every god..." (Ibid, p. 548)

Is a picture of this last-days scenario beginning to form in your mind? Let's recap a few important pieces of the puzzle: 

• Nephi told us that the groups who are members of the Great and Abominable Church will war amongst themselves.
• Isaiah told us that a king of Assyria will, in the last-days, break many people in pieces and remove the borders of the people. 
• Jesus told us that we should study the history of countries and kingdoms, and offered the clue that Isaiah spoke of things that have been and shall be. He also commanded us to search the words of Isaiah, which are great, and that many other prophets testified of the same things. 
• Zachariah saw four horns that will scatter Judah, and four carpenters that will fight revolutions against them. The word carpenter and mason are interchangeable, meaning he saw French Freemasonry's revolutions fought against English Freemasonry. These revolutions have, ironically, helped to emancipate the Jews from the horns. 
• Daniel describes a Beast with seven heads and ten horns, with a little horn that will rise up and make war with the Saints until Michael, the Ancient of Day, returns. He also describes this "fourth" Beast as one who was mighty anciently, and who will be mighty in the future, and who be will godless. He compares the Beast to iron, and his subjects (us), as clay. Rome was the ancient Beast, and "revived Rome" will be the future Beast. 
• John also describes a Beast with seven heads and ten horns, who will be part leopard, part lion, and part bear (which is the same description as Daniel's first three beasts). John's Beast will control ten kings who will be waiting to receive their kingdoms under his hand, and all of these will hate the whore, make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh. They will destroy her city and her merchants in one hour. John's Beast will make war with the Lamb and the Saints, he shall prevail against the Saints for a short time, until the Lamb destroys him. 
• Nephi reveals that those who dig a pit for the people of the Lord will fall in themselves. 
• Daniel affirms that Zion will break apart all earthly kingdoms, by its mere existence, and will stand forever and ever. 

Are you keeping all this straight? It's a bit overwhelming. In writing this post I've had to read the material I'm studying over and over, and I hope I'm presenting it in a way that is copacetic and easy to follow. Like I said before, none of the scriptural clues are chronological or coherent, each one requires a trip down a rabbit hole and endless hours of study. But now that we have come this far, it's time to reveal the nation that Daniel calls the "little horn," or the revived Roman Empire. 

One of these Nations is Just like the Other

Surprise, the little horn is none other than the United States of America, as you recall, Daniel said it was made of the roots of three other horns. These horns are Spain, France, and England. Remember, it was Spain, France, and England who were vying over the territory surrounding the Colonies. Spain controlled Florida and most of the West, France controlled the Mid-West, and England controlled the Colonies. After the Colonies won their independence, Jefferson bought the Mid-West (The Louisiana Purchase) from Napoleon for an outrageously cheap price. It was a deal he couldn't pass up, and he did it without Congressional approval. Spain eventually lost control of Texas and the West to Mexico seeking its independence, and Florida was annexed by the U.S. in 1822. President Polk would later fight an imperialistic war against Mexico, annexing the entire West, and Texas, after fighting it's own war of independence, would voluntarily join the Union in 1845. 

Ben Franklin, a high-ranking Mason of the Scottish Rite, was secretly working with French Freemasonry as a spy against the English. He made frequent trips to England and France during the years preceding the American Revolution, gathering intel to use against the English. The cartoonish history we have of this man is laughable, his loyalties were to French Freemasonry, not to any country. Remember, it was the French fleet that came at the last minute to help us win the Revolution, and this was not some altruistic mission to help the Colonies, it was because French Freemasonry had a special interest in America. It was Franklin, who, with two other Masons, was commissioned by the Continental Congress to design the Great Seal of America, the same one that showed up on the back of the dollar bill in 1935. As I pointed out in Part II, the Great Seal is loaded with esoteric symbolism of French and English Freemasonry. If you want to learn about the fascinating details of Franklin's intrigue against the English, watch the video below. The first half is about the identity of the Beast (spoiler alert), and the second half is about Franklin:

At this point I have to make have a comment on scripture. God told Joseph Smith that He raised up wise men for the purpose of establishing the Constitution of the United States. What He never said, and what is not in scripture, is that these "wise men" were good men. Solomon was wise, but not good, he was an idolator, steeped in the occult, and a womanizer. Ben Franklin was an idolator, steeped in the occult, and a womanizer. God can use the works of wicked men to fulfill His purposes. In fact, if you read this post I wrote a while back, you will see who I believe were the true Founding Fathers of this nation: everyday ordinary Christians trying to escape Europe, the same Gentiles that Nephi saw in vision. As much as I'm sorry to say it, most of the Founder's involved in the creation of the Constitution were Freemasons and not Christians, including one of my favorites, Thomas Jefferson. 

Daniel's "little horn," or rising nation, has a lot in common with ancient Rome, so much so, that it can be considered an appendage of that civilization. The Untied States, then, is John's Beast that was, and is not, but yet is. Here are the similarities between the U.S. and Rome as pointed out in Mr. Daniel's book:

• Both were democratic republics.
• Both incorporated separation of powers into governmental law. 
• Both republics were based upon specific laws.
• Both protected the rights of their citizens.
• Both stressed that all citizens were equal (except the slaves).
• Both had a sordid history of slavery.
• Both operated under a capitalistic system. 
• Both authorized abortions.
• Both loved R-rated entertainment. 
• Both created welfare states funded by taxes.
• Both had a thriving business in lawsuits.
• Both were the melting-pots of the world. 
• Both promoted sports as a favorite national pastime. 
• Both displayed its national emblem as a single-headed Eagle with wings spread. (Scarlet, p. 554)

There is one final test that Mr. Daniel points out that will help us identify the last-days Beast. In past posts I've gone over the symbolism used by secret societies that reveal their true identity and philosophies. Numerology and symbolism is the one thing that cannot lie. Lucifer is bound by some unwritten law to reveal his plans to the world, and this he does through hiding symbols and numbers in plain sight, guaranteeing him that only those who are looking for them will discover the truth. John the Revelator tells us the number of the Beast in a triad form: "six hundred threescore and six." Well that number just so happens to be a Roman numeral, and I'll let Mr. Daniel explain the rest:

The clue for identifying the Beast nation is found in a series of numbers that are listed as a triad of two numbers each (600 + 60 + 6), which adds up to 666. Strong's Concordance informs us that 666 is a Roman numeral.

Roman numerals, therefore, give the clue of how to identify the mark of the Beast. When the New Testament was written, Rome used a combination of six alphabet letters to make up all its numbers. The letters are: D C L X V I. (The letter "M" representing 1000 is a more recent invention. Originally it was CIC, with the right-hand C turned backwards. By connecting the two "C's" to the "I" in the middle, it gradually evolved into "M"). The six Roman numerals and their numerical vales are:

 D - 500

 C - 100

 L - 50 

 X - 10

 V - 5

 I - 1 

When we group each of the letters above in order of two's we discover the exact fulfillment of Revelation 13:8. DC equals 600; LX equals 60; and VI equals 6 - "Six hundred threescore and six." 

Applying this Scriptural wisdom we discover that the kingdom of the beast will be a revival of the old Roman empire. Whatever nation this kingdom is, the ultimate test for identification comes from understanding his mark, or symbol, which is 666 in Roman numerals. Scripture says it will be tied to the medium of exchange. (Scarlet, pp. 557-58) 

And as you can see on the back of this American one-dollar bill, there are Roman numerals and words all over it:

The Roman numerals at the bottom of the pyramid are MDCCLXXVI, and add up to 1776. The phrase Annuit Coeptis means, "he/she favors our undertakings," which I believe is a deference to Hermes, the androgynous god. And the famous phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum, of course means, "new order of the ages," or New World Order. 

As I've said before, Satan imitates and corrupts everything that God does, including the concept of promised-lands. Freemasonry has envisioned a secret destiny for America that goes all the way back to the lost empire of Atlantis. Their goals for a one-world government are based upon Atlantean myth and legend. English Freemasonry envisions their Atlantean empire as a theocracy, and French Freemasonry envisions theirs as an atheistic democracy, but as we shall see in the next post, both versions would be a totalitarian nightmare. You see dear readers, Satan has an imitation for everything, including God's Zion. The Atlantean utopia as prescribed by Freemasonry sounds great... in one breath they proclaim that everyone will be "free" to engage in higher learning, and there will be no crime and no poverty, while in the next breath asserting that those who rule will have absolute power over their subjects, and that all will live in communalism, which is communism. In this Atlantean nightmare, there will be no freedom, it will be Satan's plan incarnate on the earth, that Old Serpent, who attempted to dethrone God Himself and destroy the precious gift of agency bestowed upon us all. 

In the next post, as we conclude the description of the Beast empire, we will dive deep into this Atlantean utopia, and the secret destiny of America as envisioned by Freemasonry. You may be surprised to learn that the promised-land that Lehi and Nephi were led to has also been on the radar of Luciferians since the time of Columbus. America is both God and Satan's home-base of operations for the latter-days, and as the wheat and the tares grow together, the wheat will gravitate towards individual liberty while the tares embrace socialistic collectivism. The tricky thing is that Satan's democratic utopia will be presented in the dressings of liberty and freedom, but on the inside it will be nothing but "beastly" totalitarianism. Stay tuned for Part IV...

Postscript: Videos and Books for Further Study

Bill Cooper continues his series on Scarlet and the Beast, these will help you prepare for the next post. Sometimes he rants and that can be annoying, but there is good information presented here, most of it coming from John Daniel's book:

The Last Will and Testament of Cecil John Rhodes, 1902, edited by William T. Stead, online archive. 

The New World Order, by A. Ralph Epperson, 1990. 

New World Order, by William T. Still, 1990. 

The Temple and the Lodge, 1989, by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh. I recommended this one at the end of the last post and I do it again here because this book includes a detailed history of the Templar infiltration and influence over the Founder's of the United States, specifically Ben Franklin.

Zion vs the Beast II: The Babylonian System

 Previously: Zion vs the Beast I: The Strongman Model

Murray Rothbard, one of my favorite libertarian scholars, once made an observation about how progressives view history. The view dates back to the Whig party who dominated politics during the early 1800s. They were the classical liberal party, and to them, the nascent freedoms recently won in America inaugurated an epoch of time that they perceived could only increase in progress. As Rothbard explained:

The Whig theory of history began in the early to mid 19th century, and it has taken over: it's still with us. It's still dominant despite criticisms in the 1930s and '40s. Basically, the Whig theory of history is that history is an inevitable march upward into the light. In other words, step by step, the world always progresses, and this progress is inevitable. (Rothbard lecture: Ideologies and Theories of History, 1986, emphasis added)

I remember believing this paradigm as a public school kid growing up in the 1980s. It was assumed that racism, bigotry, violence, poverty, crime, and other societal ills would lessen as time marched on. And it was a no-brainer that technology, medicine, and standards of living would only get better as we kids grew older. We were told that life expectancy would keep increasing with technology, and there would be many comforts that would come to us that were not previously available to past generations. Technology has increased for sure, but does that represent progress? The coming Beast system cannot happen without certain technological advances, and it will be anything but "progressive" in the literal sense of that word. The truth, as Rothbard points out in the lecture series linked above, is that the Whigs and Progressives were wrong: history is not some "inevitable upward march into the light...," it's a crapshoot, a perilous descent into unchartered territory, a chaotic jumble of people, places, and events, an iconic struggle between liberty and power. If an institution or government espouses a narrative that is varnished and squeaky clean, you can know that at best they are hiding details, and at worst deliberately lying to you... no such thing happens in history. 

History is nothing but the individual and collective sum of human action, or in other words, the consequences of human choices. And it's a mess... a big... complicated one. In contrast to the Whig theory of history, the prophecies in scripture paint a much different picture of the future, one far more ominous. But with that foreboding comes a glimmer of hope, because light does not come through men who lead civilizations through time, light comes from God. And we are promised that when the "whole earth shall be in commotion... and when the times of the gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among those who sit in darkness" (T&C 31:6). That light shall be the fulness of Christ's gospel, with an accompanying Spirit that will help us navigate the events that will be coming on the earth, events that are explained in coded language in scriptural prophecy. Although it was not meant for us to fully understand the events before they happen, there is enough in scripture to help us prepare and avoid deception by false prophets and false miracles that will deceive many before Christ's return.

The Book of Mormon is the key to understanding the prophecies of the last days, especially the words of Isaiah repeated by Nephi, Jacob, and Christ Himself. Jesus gave away the biggest clue in grasping what Isaiah wrote when he told the Nephites the following:

And now behold, I say unto you that ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently, for great are the words of Isaiah. For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel. And all things that he spake hath been and shall be, even according to the words which he spake. (3 Nephi 10:4, RE, emphasis added)

Did you catch the clue? Isaiah spoke of things that hath been and shall be. In other words, he used coded language to tie the Jewish past in with the American/Gentile and Jewish present. The names and places he uses are ancient, but the application of his words are modern. I believe this is what Nephi meant when he said that his people didn't understand Isaiah because he had not taught them, "the manner of prophesying among the Jews." The other Old Testament prophets use similar language: a blend of past history with future prophesy in no apparent order or coherency. It's a gigantic jigsaw puzzle, meant to be assembled piece by piece until a picture begins to form. I believe the Lord had the Jewish prophets write this way for at least two reasons: one, to give us a cursory understanding of what is to transpire in the last days, and two, to get us familiar with Jewish history and culture to help us in our mission to recover them in the latter-days. (The Jews also used satire and humor in their prophesying, read this short blog post to learn a little more about that).

So what does all of this have to do with the coming Beast system? The truth is, no one knows exactly what that will look like, and all sorts of scenarios have been offered since John wrote Revelations. Some speculate today that technology will be utilized to manipulate humanity into a system of totalitarian slavery involving artificial intelligence, transhumanism, biotechnology, digital currency, and one-world government. I do not doubt that all of the above will be used as part of the Beast system (we know it will be a one-world government), but I don't want to waste writing space on my blog speculating on details the Lord has not revealed to us. I believe there were at least two reasons (and I'm sure there are more) why Nephi wasn't allowed to tell all of his vision of what John saw: one, if it was committed to writing and published Satan could simply change some of his tactics to bring it about and call God a liar, and two, if we know everything that is going to happen in the future it would diminish the test that we will be required to go through in choosing whether we will take the mark of the beast.

There has to be a choice, and it has to be made with faith. If we were given the answer before the test it would be too easy. I think that God expects us to spend years diligently attempting to assemble the pieces of the puzzle, line upon line, precept upon precept, until we have enough of the truth in our hearts to be able to withstand the temptation to take the mark. I believe that when this system is presented to the world, with its accompanying miracles, it will sound so good, it will be so logical, it will be so spiritual (Satan can appear as an angel of light), so aesthetically and carnally pleasing (a blend of spiritually and quantum physics), that it will be extremely difficult to resist. It will be presented as a solution to all of the world's problems, and just like in the days of Noah, there will be few who resist it. Remember, this is Satan's big moment in history, what he has been preparing for throughout the ages. His final chance to globally implement his agency-destroying plan in the flesh, his raison d'etre, his magnum opus, his one opportunity to force the entire world to fall down at his feet and worship him. You better believe that he is going to package it in a deal that you'll think you can't pass up. The soothing voices (all religions will go along with him) will tell you take the mark so you can eat and live, buy and sell, "let big brother take care of you," they will say, "he will make everything better, trust in him and go back to sleep"... and as soon as he assumes power, he will kill anyone who doesn't fall at his feet. It will be the ultimate bait and switch.

For all that has been speculated on this last-days event, the words of John comprise just a few short paragraphs. He writes:

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the powers of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and those therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceives those who dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast which had the wound by a sword and did live. 

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads, and that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom: let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred sixty-six. (Revelation 4:9-10, RE) 

Giving life to an image is interesting imagery. Throughout scripture the Lord often chastises His people for worshipping dumb idols. The word dumb simply means that the idol does not speak or move. This is Satan's one chance to give life to an image in front of the entire world, whatever that looks like. The image of the beast will speak and move. How will this happen? Will Satan or one of his minions possess an avatar that will come to life? Will it be made of some kind of biotechnological material? Like a bio suit? Or is the entire thing figurative and not literal? It is interesting to ponder, but merely speculative in nature, and will not be the subject of this post. What I will focus on is what Christ said to the Nephites, things that have been and shall be. I believe that the key to understanding the future is studying the past, and that the two are interlinked and seen by God simultaneously. This post, and the next, will be about the relationship between the whore, or Mystery Babylon, and the Beast, who they might be, and how God will allow them to destroy each other. As you will see dear readers, this is part of His covenant to the house of Israel, He promises to protect His people from these sycophants, by filling the great pit which has been dug for the people of the Lord with those who digged it. God's satire and irony are truly mind-blowing. Let's go down the rabbit hole...

Bread Crumbs From the Prophets

I never really studied the Old Testament... I read it through once as a missionary but didn't get much out of it. I figured since the Book of Mormon referred to the Bible as the "stumbling block" my studies would be better served in that restoration text. But now that I'm using the full inspired version (Joseph Smith Translation), a new world of prophecy is opening up to me. All the prophecies in the Old Testament have a common thread: the restoration of the scattered remnants of the house of Israel in the latter-days to the lands of their inheritance. And I recently noticed a subtle difference between Book of Mormon and Old Testament prophets: the former use literal language and the latter are more figurative in their writing. I wonder if this is also what Nephi meant when he talked about the "manner of prophesying among the Jews." The only prophet to record a figurative dream in the Book of Mormon was Lehi, to which Nephi immediately gives us the interpretation. Every other prophecy recorded in the text is a literal description (or an interpretive analysis of a prophecy from the Brass Plates, as in the case of Jacob and the allegory of the olive trees) of what will happen to future generations, to the Nephites, the Jews, and to us, the Gentiles. 

In contrast, almost every prophecy in the Bible is recorded in parable form and requires an interpretation. Perhaps this is why the stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah complement each other. The Book of Mormon offers the literal interpretation of how the Father will conduct the gathering the Israel in the latter-days, while the Bible tells of the same events in metaphor. However, in the Biblical prophecies there is another hidden layer of meaning that one can only comprehend after studying certain aspects of history, hence Jesus' hint of things that have been and shall be. The two prophets I'll be focusing on in this series are John the revelator and Daniel, both of which speak of the end-times beast. Both accounts leave different clues as to the identify of the whore and the beast, and when read with a cursory knowledge of what the mystery schools and Freemasons believe, the story begins to unravel thread by thread. But to catch these clues one has to plunge deep into the philosophies of secret combinations and modern Gadiantons, for it is in the teachings of Lucifer himself that the clues can be found. Not only did God anticipate this, He caused His prophets to write it down in such a way as to expose the works of darkness without revealing exactly what will transpire. It is only in this way that God can tell us what is going to happen without Satan being able to thwart His purposes or change the story. Is it any wonder that Jesus told us, through the Nephites, that His wisdom is greater than the cunning of the Devil"? 

Jesus said that before He comes again it will be like days of Noah that transpired before the flood. This is another clue to understanding the prophecy about the last-days beast. The beast represents a one-world earthly kingdom, and according to mystery school lore and tradition, Atlantis existed as such a kingdom before the flood. One Christian author who studied the two warring branches of Freemasonry noticed a correlation between Atlantean myth and John's beast. His name is John Daniel, and he wrote a book in the 1990s entitled, Scarlet and the Beast: A History of the War between English and French Freemasonry.

Interestingly enough, the author's name consists of the two Biblical prophets under investigation, John and Daniel. Mr. Daniel's extremely comprehensive work covers over 800 pages of Freemasonic history. As it turns out, the conspirators who are vying for world domination have a history of being at odds with each other, with each having their own version of the New World Order. Daniel's book is fascinating when read in the context of Nephi's prophecy that the great and abominable church will "war among themselves." This is how the wicked will destroy the wicked in the last-days, an event that has to occur before the Father can completely fulfill the covenant to the house of Israel and restore them to their lands of promise.

Mr. Daniel asserts that modern Freemasonry is around 300 years old, and philosophically based on pagan sun gods such as Osiris (Egyptians), Mythras (Persians), Bachus (Greeks), Dionysius (Fraternity of the artificers), and Atys (Phrygians). Freemasonry is anti-Semitic in nature as revealed in the myth of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic representation of the Egyptian sun god Horus. In the legend of Hiram Abiff, he is martyred by three "ruffians" who have Jewish names: Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum, whom Mr. Daniel says are "known collectively as the Juwes," a slight variation of the modern Jews (Scarlet and the Beast, p. 27). When an initiate becomes a Master Mason, part of the ceremony he participates in involves the ritual slaughter of the Jewish ruffians. Hitler was a 33rd degree Mason, and took this ritual to literal extremes in his genocide of European Jews; the word holocaust means "burnt offering." Masonic anti-Semitism is of ancient date as pointed out by Albert Mackay in his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, who quotes H.L. Haywood as follows:

The record of Jewish persecution of Gentiles is a long one and they have sometimes been carried out with unspeakable cruelty; the Old Testament itself is in some chapters obviously anti-Gentile. (Ibid p. 28)

Can you see how they have flipped things around? Remember it was God who commanded the Israelites to destroy the heathen nations so they could possess the promised land. We don't understand all the reasons why the Israelites were commanded to slaughter other civilizations. Perhaps the Old Testament has been so mistranslated that what actually occurred was that the heathen nations destroyed each other, much like the Nephites did. The latter is more in-line with God's pattern of allowing the wicked to destroy the wicked. However, we do not know all the reasons why God does what He does. Regardless, the Jewish past is no excuse to treat them with the disdain that has characterized their mistreatment in the 20th century. Consider the words of the Lord to Nephi in regard to the Jews:

O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay, but ye have cursed them, and have hated them, and have not sought to recover them. But behold, I will return these things upon your own heads, for I the Lord hath not forgotten my people. (2 Nephi 12:9, RE)

More on the Jews later, but for now let's get into the history of some infamous secret societies. 

The Rosicrucians and the Templars 

Before I get in the prophecies of Daniel and John and their Atlantean imagery, a brief explanation of the differences between English and French Freemasonry is necessary.  According to Mr. Daniel, both branches were organized in the 1700s, but came from other fraternities originating from much earlier. The English branch was infiltrated by the Rosicrucians, a secret society that formed centuries earlier. They thought of themselves as "esoteric" masons, and believed in a divine universe that one could tap into to lessen suffering, were pantheistic and humanistic, and subscribed to occult doctrines such as alchemy and astrology. They backed the Glorious Revolution of 1688, in which the Stuart dynasty was overthrown and replaced with the James dynasty, and "absolute monarchy" was replaced with "Constitutional monarchy" based on the Magna Charta. They incorporated a strategic mix of Christianity and paganism, in the tradition of Catholicism and Constantine "to attract Protestant Reformers to their Order," and were steeped in Hermeticism (from the Greek god Hermes), which involved "mystical, magical, or occult sciences." (Scarlet and the Beast, pp. 30-31)

After the Glorious Revolution, they named themselves "free" masons, hence the modern term Freemasonry. They believed they had to be free men to be initiated into the mysteries, and "should be free in all their thoughts and actions..." However, this freedom they wanted for themselves, the adepts, and not for us, the profane. Their emblem is an affront to Christ, and is literally the symbol of a serpent. According to Mr. Daniel, it consists of: 

...a red rose twined around the base of a cross. The rose is the phallic occult symbol of the serpent. Together, the rose and the cross became known as the "Rosy Cross," or "Rose-Croix," hence the name Rosicrucian. (Ibid, p.31)

The Templars, or the Knights Templar, were the second branch of Freemasonry to form (more on the first later), organizing themselves as a military priesthood by their first Grand Master, Hugh de Payens, in 1118. They were initially a religious organization, named after the temple at Jerusalem, and were the backers and financiers of the Crusades. They were led by a committee of 9, and their order had 13 degrees of initiation (both 9 and 13 are esoteric numbers). They endeavored, as Alma explained, to enforce their priestcraft by the sword, and "adopted the famous splayed red cross of the Merovingian kings of France, placing it on their mandes, swords, buildings, and gravestones" Some conspiracy researchers believe they possessed the lost treasures of Solomon, estimated at a value around $14 billion (in 10th century dollars), which they used to become the world's first international bankers. Mr. Daniel writes:

Their domicile is of great significance, for somewhere beneath it was allegedly buried the unfathomable wealth of Solomon. As the Templar's fame increased, so did their wealth. According to standard histories, one source of their wealth was gifts from kings and princes grateful for their services... As their wealth and influence grew, the Templars "developed into an efficient military organization that adopted absolute secrecy to cover all internal activities. (Ibid, p.32)

As they increased in fame, they began to be noticed by powerful adversaries, notably King Philip Iv of France, who, reigning in the 11th Century on the brink of bankruptcy, began to covet their wealth and land. He labeled them as religious heretics, who like the Cathars, subscribed to Gnosticism, which is the practice of replacing faith with knowledge (this is one meaning of the G on the compass and square symbol the Masons use today). Remember, in the garden of Eden parable, it was the serpent who offered Eve the gift of knowledge (ye shall be as the gods, knowing good from evil). Later, the Templars adopted the symbol of the skull and crossbones, "the symbol of death." Mr. Daniel explains that "in Free-masonry, the skull and crossbones became the symbol of the Master Mason..." (Ibid, p.33)

If any of you wonder where the legend of Friday the 13th came from, it was on that day in October of 1307, that king Philip famously ordered the arrest of all the Templars in France. In 1314, after Philip's Inquisition of the Templars, their Grand Master Jacques de Molay, and other offenders were burned at the stake. Those who escaped fled to Scotland and allied themselves with king Robert Bruce against England, even fighting alongside the the Scots in the Battle of Bannockburn. There in Scotland, they remained underground and continued their society unmolested for another four centuries. In the 1700s, they aligned themselves with prince Charles Edward Stuart, son of James Stuart VI (creator of the King James Bible, and also a Mason), a descendent of Robert Bruce, again in a short-lived war against England. Prince Charles was attempting to regain his Scottish throne, and was backed by a group of Templars who called themselves Jacobites, after their martyred leader Jacques de Molay. They were repulsed and beaten in less than a year, and the Scottish Templars returned to France, who, as Mr. Daniel writes:

...founded the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, quickly developing it to 32 degrees by 1755. In 1801 all French lodges accepted the Templar Scottish Rite degrees. That same year the Scottish Rite of Charleston, S.C., created the 33rd and final degree in Templar Freemasonry. (Ibid, p. 34)

The Stuarts were deported to France, after which the Rosicrucians freely infiltrated and dominated the British throne and Church of England, and it was this flavor of Freemasonry that was imported to America first. They established themselves in York, England as York Masonry, and become known as the York Rite, while the Templars established themselves as the Scottish Rite. That is why when America was colonized they named one state New York. The York Rite was the more religious sect, and they always endeavored to control both church and state, while the Scottish Rite is the atheistic sect, who favored a democracy divorced from religion. Both sects of Masonry were established in America, the York Rite first in Virginia, and the Scottish Rite in Charleston, South Carolina. The York Rite is made up of the wealthy and aristocratic classes, while the Scottish Rite consists of lower and middle classes. The Scottish Rite broke up into two jurisdictions in America, the Northern jurisdiction established in Boston (infiltrated by the York Rite during the war of 1812), and the Southern jurisdiction in Charleston. Mr. Daniel explains the difference as follows:

We can make some general observations regarding the Northern and Southern Jurisdictions of American Freemasonry. The Northern Jurisdiction, which we can identify with in American politics with the Eastern Establishment, is right-wing or moderate. It is the headquarters of America's aristocracy and is primarily Republican. The Southern Jurisdiction is left-wing or liberal, more or less comprised of the working class and common laborer, and usually Democrat. There are crossovers in both Jurisdictions, and when voters in America take sides on issues, we are caught up in this Masonic struggle of conservative versus liberal, right-wing versus left-wing, big business versus labor, free enterprise versus socialism. etc. (Ibid, p. 36)

As you can see, the entire political spectrum is controlled by the same entities, differing only slightly in theory and principle. They both are vying for world domination and power, but through different tactics based on different philosophies. If you look at the back of a one-dollar bill, you'll notice an eagle facing west, (representation of the ancient Egyptian phoenix, associated with Horus the sun-god) with two wings. One wing has 32 feathers and the other has 33, representing the highest degrees of Freemasonry. Both wings are controlled by the same brain, and the tail feathers number 9, just like the original council of the Knight's Templar. There are 13 layers to the pyramid, thirteen arrows, thirteen leaves on the olive branch, and of course thirteen stars and thirteen stripes representing the thirteen colonies (13 represents perfect government, or all the constellations plus the sun; the cross used by both Templars and Rosicrucians represents the cross of the Zodiac, not the cross Christ was crucified on). The eye in the capstone representing the unfinished pyramid (or Satanic trapezoid) represents the eye of Horus, or the all-seeing eye of Lucifer. Both branches of Freemasonry share these occult symbols, and the only disagreement is who will control the New World Order, or Novus Ordo Seclorum. Take a look for yourself:

I realize that was a whole lot of history crammed into a few paragraphs (and I didn't even get into the fact that many of our Founding Fathers were Masons, Ben Franklin being the one who created the Great Seal and being also a Grand Master of the Scottish Rite), but it is essential to understand Mr. Daniel's interpretation of the prophecies of Daniel and John. Now, I am not saying that Mr. Daniel is right in these interpretations, but they are fascinating when read in conjunction with Nephi's prophecies, and I think they deserve considerable attention in any of discussion of the whore and the beast. Mr. Daniel believes that the York Rite (English Freemasonry) is the mother of harlots, or Mystery Babylon herself, whom he calls Scarlet. John saw her riding on the back of the beast and having dominion over all the earth. She is the church of the Devil as seen by Nephi. She is Isis, the church, i.e., the body of initiates who control the world's economic, political, military, and religious organizations. Remember it was English Freemasonry whose modus operandi was to control both church and state, two of the enemies the mystery schools swore to infiltrate. In this post I wrote last winter, I touched on the part of the fable of Osiris, where his body is cut up and sent all over the world. His phallus, or penis, representing the generative power, was eaten by three fishes, who represent the church, the state, and the mob, all three of which are sworn enemies of the mystery schools. The English branch of Freemasonry wholly subscribes to this philosophy, and have kept monarchs and aristocracies close and religious institutions closer over the centuries. They truly are the mother of abominations, even giving themselves away by nicknaming the United Grand Lodge created in 1717 the Mother Grand Lodge. Can you see how John exposed this group in his vision? The clues are hidden in plain sight. 

The other branch, the Scottish Rite or French Freemasonry, is the revolutionary branch, and is more equated with the beast, who represents unchecked power. The York Rite is Satan's church, replete with powers and priesthoods (craft), and the Scottish Rite is the entity controlled by the church, i.e., the State, the representation of earthly power in kings and governments. And with all this power in so few hands, it makes sense why Nephi says these entities will war amongst themselves. The whore, who sits upon many waters (imagery for masses of people) and rides upon the beast, will eventually find herself betrayed by the beast, a Frankenstein-like creation that will turn against its master. It is impossible to control such unbridled power... and this is the irony and satire of scriptural prophecy. Nephi said it this way:

And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads, for they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads, and they shall be drunken with their own blood. (1 Nephi 7:4, RE, emphasis added)

The sword of their own hands is the military power they created, the beast that at first does their bidding but eventually develops a mind of its own. Can you see God's wisdom playing out in this scenario? The people of God, i.e., Zion, will not have to fight against the beast, God will do that for them by simply letting prideful people wrangle over power. In the meantime, they will be too frightened to come up against Zion because the elements will protect that holy city. The wicked will say:

Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible, wherefore we cannot stand. (T&C 31:15)

This will not be because those dwelling in Zion will be some mighty military force, it will be because of the power of the Lamb of God, that Nephi said will descend upon the Saints. The very elements and animals will obey them, this is the promise to the righteous. The account of Enoch in Genesis (the inspired version) gives us full disclosure as to the kind of miracles we should expect to attend the future Zion:

And so great was the faith of Enoch that he led the people of God, and their enemies came to battle against them, and he spoke the word of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the mountains fled - even according to his command - and the rivers were turned out of their course, and the roar of the lions was heard out of the wilderness. And all nations feared greatly, so powerful was the word of Enoch, and so great was the power of the language which God had given him. There also came up a land out of the depths of the sea, and so great was the fear of the enemies of the people of God that they fled, and stood afar off, and went upon the land which came up out of the depths of the sea. And the giants of the land also stood afar off. And there went forth a curse upon all the people who fought against God. (Genesis 4:13, RE)

Can you imagine living through and witnessing those events? Powerful armies and giants fleeing because of a spoken word, because of the language of God, a language so powerful that animals and elements respond to it. This will happen again dear readers, many prophets testified of these things (both in figurative and literal language) transpiring in the last-days Zion. The king of Assyria and his master the beast will not be able to stand against Zion. This is God's covenant to the house of Israel, this is the Great and Marvelous work and wonder of the last days. God will preserve His people in Zion, and He will lead others from all over the world safely to it, even if He has to cast up a land bridge out of the great deep. We ought not doubt the power of God, instead of relying on weapons and armies, this will be accomplished with simple faith. John hinted to those who will choose to fight with weapons by this admonition to listen:

If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity. He that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelations 4:8, RE)

Did you catch that? No weapons will be necessary to protect Zion. No conventional methods of war (capturing people and fighting with weapons) will be used in Zion. John is trying to tell us that those who pursue these methods will perish with the rest of the whore who fight against Zion. The patience and faith of the Saints is to trust in God to protect them. To actually believe that He will fulfill His promises. This could mean doing nothing to defend themselves, as did the Anti-Nephi-Lehis, as terrifying armies are rapidly advancing upon them. Can you imagine the faith that you must have in such a scenario? The weapons used by the king of Assyria will be technologically advanced... such as nukes, bioweapons, weather manipulation, AI robot soldiers, advanced air craft, energy weapons, or anything else you can imagine out of a sci-fi thriller. Whatever it is doesn't matter, God is more powerful. The earth and the animals will make light work of the Assyrian's armies, and whoever is left will be consumed by the scourge. We ought not be afraid of man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for those who fight against Zion shall be as the dream out of a night vision, who will eat and drink in their dreams, but will find themselves hungry and thirsty upon awakening. In other words, they will think they can easily subdue Zion, but will be surprisingly repulsed when they try. They will daydream about conquering it, but reality will overtake them. 

I was planning on getting into the prophecies of John and Daniel in this post, but I'm realizing that there is far too much material. That will have to wait until part three, but before I end, there is somewhat more to say about the Jews, God's ancient covenant people. They have been painted as the Cabal behind the New World Order, a so-called Jewish conspiracy. Nothing is farther from the truth. While there may be some Jews involved in the Illuminati, most are not, and God has not forgotten them. 

A Hiss and a Byword

One of the purposes of the Book of Mormon is to recover the last-days Jews who repent and turn to Christ. God has made a promise to recover them, and He intends to make good on that promise (efforts are already being made). Ever since they crucified their own Messiah, they have been scattered and hated by all nations, but Nephi explains that God will be merciful to them:

And as for those who are at Jerusalem, saith the prophet, they shall be scourged by all people because they crucified the God of Israel and turn their hearts aside, rejecting signs and wonders, and power, and the glory of the God of Israel. And because they turn their hearts aside, and have despised the Holy One of Israel, they shall wander in the flesh, and perish, and become a hiss and a byword, and be hated among all nations. Nevertheless, when that day cometh, saith the prophet, that they no more turn aside their hearts against the Holy One of Israel, then will he remember the covenants which he made to their fathers. (1 Nephi 5:37, RE, emphasis added)

The word hiss in noun form is a "continued sound, commonly expressing disapproval or contempt," and one cannot say the word without making a provocative sound. Snakes and lizards hiss to warn other predators to back off; it is a word associated with enmity. A byword can mean "something that has become proverbial (famous)," usually satirical in nature. The preposition by can mean "at, near, about, or close at hand," and in a nautical sense can mean, "sailing to the wind and off it, in one direction then another." The Jews have truly wandered in the flesh and been scourged, enslaved, and persecuted by nation after nation, from ancient Babylon and Rome to modern Germany and Palestine. They have been scattered throughout the entire world just as Nephi has prophesied. But are they truly involved in a global conspiracy to created a one-world government patterned after ancient Babylon? Absolutely not. Such an undertaking is a Gentile one, but as we shall see, the Jews have been the scapegoat for it. 

The mother of harlots, that is English Freemasonry, did not begin as the Rosicrucians, but were first known as the Priory of Sion. Sion is a French word for Zion. They existed before the Knights Templar, and were actually the creators of that order. They created them as a military unit to protect the Holy Grail, which to the exoteric meant the fictitious cup held by Joseph of Arimathea that caught the blood of Christ, the golden cup held by Scarlet as seen by John. However, the esoteric meaning of the Grail is a bloodline, the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, known as the Merovingian bloodline. Scarlet's golden cup is full of "abominations and the filthiness of her fornication," because it is the utmost sacrilege and blasphemy. This is where the origin of the counterfeit Jewish connection to the cabal begins. Satan has endeavored to blame the Jews from the beginning, and to skew the divinity of Christ by morphing Him into a mere mortal man. Let me explain. 

The Priory of Sion do not believe that Jesus Christ was divine, but they do believe He ascended from a royal bloodline, the bloodline of king David. According to legend, Christ was rescued from the cross, revived by Joseph of Arimathea, escaped with Mary and fathered children with her. These children would give rise to the Merovingian dynasty, owners of the Holy Grail and the self-imposed rightful heirs of the throne of David, a lineage which they believe gives them the right to rule the world. The Hapsburgs from Austria are the descendants of the Merovingians and still claim to be in possessing of the spear that was thrust into Jesus' side. In fact, it is on display in a museum in Vienna. However, no one knows where the Grail is (that is because it doesn't exist).

If any of you have seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, this "bedtime story" is retold in modern entertainment. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are familiar with this fable, and have put it out there in plain sight for the world to see. Do you remember what Sean Connery said at the end of movie when Harrison Ford asked him what he found from the adventure? The answer was illumination, a direct reference to the Illuminati and the mystery schools. This story was unearthed by two researchers who wrote a book entitled, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, first published in 1982, which is quoted extensively throughout Mr. Daniel's book. Mr. Daniel explains that after the authors "embarked on a ten-year investigation that took them throughout Europe," one part of the "astounding repercussions" that ensued was the Hollywood trilogy Indiana Jones. Here is a free PDF of the book. 

What does this have to do with the Jews? According to Reverend J.R. Church, in his book, Guardians of the Grail, published in 1989, the legend goes that after Jesus and Mary produced children, they [Mary and the children] fled to France when Rome destroyed the Jewish Temple in 70 A.D. Church writes:

There [France] they found refuge in a Jewish community. Future generations of her offspring were said to have married into the royal Frankish family and by the fifth century produced a king. His name was Merovee. He was the first in a series of kings called the Merovingian bloodline. It is said that the offspring of Merovee were noted for a birthmark above the heart - a small red cross. This symbol eventually became the emblem of the Guardians of the Grail. 

Merovee, king of the Franks from 447 to 458 A.D., was an adherent of the religious cult of Diana. His son, Childeric I (458-482 A.D.) practiced witchcraft. His son, Clovis I (458-511 A.D.) adopted Christianity in 496 A.D. In 496 A.D., the Bishop of Rome made a pact with Clovis, the grandson of Merovee, and king of the Franks, calling him the "New Constantine," giving him authority to preside over a "Christianized" Roman Empire. (The term "Holy Roman Empire" was not officially used until 962 A.D.) 

The so-called offspring of Mary Magdalene were thus established as leaders of the empire. (Quoted in Scarlet and the Beast, p. 58) 

In one foul swoop, Satan managed to incorporate the Jews and the Christians into his mystery religion as a means to deceive the world into rejecting both as God's people. The Jews became part of the conspiracy to control the world, and the Christians became copy-cats of the Babylonian sun worship religions of old. If you recall in The Last Crusade, when the assassins are pursuing Indiana in the action-packed boat chase, after a struggle with one of them he reveals to Indy the red cross birthmark on his chest. He tells Indy that he is part of a brotherhood that is sworn to protect the Holy Grail with their lives. This is an illusion to the Knight's Templar, who were charged with that very order by the Priory of Sion. But ironically, the Templars, basking in their new-found wealth and prestige, broke away from the mother branch and went their own way. They held sway with kings all throughout Europe, so it begs the question as to how king Philip Iv was able to crush them so easily. The answer is that he was backed by the powerful Priory of Sion, the mother of harlots herself attempting to destroy her own personal Frankenstein. But as we have seen, that Frankenstein found refuge in Scotland and later France, and has become the French Freemasonry of today, still in conflict with its mother, English Freemasonry. This story will keep playing out in the future, precisely as the prophets have foretold. 

The Priory believe that they are the rightful rulers of this world. They trace their lineage back through the Jews to the line of David, who is associated with the Lion of Judah, or the constellation Leo. During the Summer Solstice, Leo is positioned at the top of the Royal Arch of Heaven, when the sun shines the brightest. This is their symbolism of their supposed right to rule, and is where the modern symbol of the lion portrayed by MGM studios comes from. They are putting it right in your face. It is also ensconced in the Disney movie The Lion King. This is why the lion has long been associated with England and her monarchies. It is a symbol of Mystery Babylon ruling from her country of origin, England, and more specifically, London, the location of the Mother Grand Lodge. According to Mr. Daniel, the Priory's claim to Jewish monarchy is a usurpation of the Davidic line (the real King is Jesus Christ, whose Kingdom is not of this world, not yet anyway) and is blasphemous. Mr. Daniel makes an interesting connection between the "synagogue of Satan" and the Philadelphia church mentioned by John. Synagogue of Satan is just another way of saying the church of the Devil, and what John could've actually been doing (in Old Testament prophet style), was using the church in Philadelphia as a typology of the future role of Mystery Babylon. Mr. Daniel explains:

Jesus speaks of such a heresy in Revelation 3:9, where He admonishes the Philadelphia Church, representing Church history from approximately 1750 to the 1900s: "Behold, I will make 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 know that I have loved thee. (Ibid, p. 59)

In a later chapter, Mr. Daniel offers a more detailed analysis. John made another reference to the synagogue of Satan in Revelations 2:9, admonishing the church at Smyrna. Mr. Daniel makes the following fascinating connection:

The churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia were located in Asia Minor, today's Turkey, where the Eleusinian mysteries were immensely popular. These mysteries could be termed, "the synagogue of Satan" since, upon completion of the 12th degree, the initiate was pronounced a Jew. Certainly, Revelation 3:9 testifies to the Eleusinian mysteries during the first 100 years of so of Church history, while at the same time it prophesies of the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses and similar anti-Christian cults in our day. More specifically, this Scripture refers to Scottish Rite Freemasonry during the last 250 years, considering that the period prophesied for the Philadelphia Church age began around 1750. Many theologians agree that the seven Churches in the book of Revelation are prophecies of the various ages of Church history... (Ibid, p. 169)

The brand of Mormonism he is referencing is the Brighamite sect, as it was he and Heber who incorporated Scottish Rite Freemasonry into the religion. Joseph Smith has been blamed for this, and sadly, most scholars, including Mr. Daniel, are blinded to this truth. Regardless of his views on Mormonism, the point is that both branches of Freemasonry claim Jewish origin, which is false. Like John said, "they say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie." Mr. Daniel asserts that the Scottish Rite had added the 32nd degree around the time "the Philadelphia Church age began to emerge." He further elucidates that "it was called the Jewish Rite because its system was based upon the Jewish Cabala. Yet, it was founded by Gentiles" (Ibid, p. 170). Later, the Jewish Cabala was instrumental into developing the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite, further implicating the Jews in the conspiracy. The influence from the Jewish Cabala was merely a front, as the real rites of Freemasonry come from ancient pagan religions. The story of Freemasonry is the infiltration of one group after another, just as Moroni said, the secret plans and oaths of the Gadianton robbers are "had among all people," which means all people have felt their influence, and some of those people have been their scapegoats. 

Mr. Daniel quotes former 33rd degree Mason Dr. J. Blanchard, author of the two-volume set Scottish Rite Masonry Illustrated, where he made the following remarks, succinctly summing up how Masonry uses religion to its own advantage:

Let the authoritative teaching of Dr. Mackey be continually borne in mind, that: - "the mission and object of Masonry is the worship of the Great Architect of the Universe." It follows that the lodges must have something for their dupes to do, called worship. And what could wicked men and devils invent craftier or better suited to deceive the simple, than this very scheme of "the Ancient Scottish Rite," which now rules the rites of the world. It seizes and appropriates all of religion but its holiness and justice; and all of Christ but his truth and his atonement. It mixes things sacred with things profane, till the whole compound is profanity; and quoting the Bible as if it believed it true, which notoriously it does not, it has finished a dark system which angels flee from and devils inhabit. Every lodge is a Synagogue of Satan and its ritual is Sorcery. (Ibid, p. 170, emphasis added)

Mr. Daniel adds a further insight of his own, bringing the entire picture in full view. The sobering reality is that any group, any secret society, any religion, any movement, and any government, can be infiltrated and subjugated. He writes:

Herein lies the danger of Freemasonry. Any individual can subvert any secret society. A Weishaupt, a Lenin, a Hitler, or the Beast of the Apocalypse can take over by superimposition, leaving he lower degrees completely ignorant. Any group (such as the Priory of Sion, the Templars, the Bolsheviks, the Nazis, or Scarlet of the Apocalypse) can do the same. Through this pyramid system naive initiates can be controlled by Satanists, Luciferians, New Agers, atheists, pantheists, communists, fascists, or terrorists. Because their bloody oaths demand unquestioned obedience to the unseen rulers above, the lower degrees blindly follow all dictates handed down to them. (Ibid, p. 173)

The Jews are innocent bystanders in all of this, some have been involved in the real Cabal, like for instance Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Bavarian Illuminati, but the vast majority of Jews are just regular folks like you and me. God is attempting to gather them with the Book of Mormon, they are promised to be gathered back to Jerusalem before Christ comes again. But if Satan can create confusion about these people, he can attempt to thwart those plans. Before I end, there are just a few more key points that illustrate the confusion about Jews. As you will see, the so-called Jewish conspiracy is perpetuated by Gentiles in Jewish clothing, and the real Cabala is nothing but Nimrod's old-time mystery religion revealed anew. 

Weishaupt, Rothchild, and the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

The word Cabala is derived from the Hebrew term Kabbalah, which is an esoteric method of interpreting Jewish mysticism, and literally means, "that which is received." In our modern lexicon the word Cabal has somehow come to be synonymous with a group of international banking Jews vying for world domination. However, the evidence suggests otherwise. Jewish mysticism (in my opinion), is nothing but an infiltration of Judaism by mystery school adepts, as an endeavor to morph the meaning of the Torah into another subset of the ancient pagan mystery religions. The real Cabal is made up of initiates of Satan's church, who infiltrate all sects, cultures, and peoples, just as Moroni told us. But the fact that many prominent players in the Illuminati have been Jewish has been a convenient distraction for the real perpetrators of the conspiracy. Adam Weishaupt, who founded the Illuminati in 1776, is one of the most famous Jewish conspirators. It is illogical to heap blame upon an entire group of people because of a few bad apples, and history points to a Jewish infiltration long before Weishaupt began the Order.

Mr. Daniel explains much of this misunderstanding in chapter 7 of "Scarlet and the Beast," The Jewish Connection. As it turns out, one of the Illuminati's most influential plotters was Saint-Germain, the mystic and famous Theosophist of the 18th century. Two other players in the movement were Moses Mendelssohn, a Jew who was a Scottish Rite Freemason,  and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, a Gentile who supported the liberal offshoot of Judaism called the Frankists. The Frankists were dedicated to the destruction of both Christianity and orthodox Judaism, and were the offshoot of an older group called the Sabbatianists. The Sabbatianists were named after Sabbatai Zevi, a false messiah from the 17th century, and the Frankists were named after Jacob Frank, a nihilist from the 18th century. The Frankists were Jewish reformers, seeking to change the religion from the inside out, and believed in the doctrine of reversal (similar to the as above, so below philosophy of the mystery schools). Through Lessing's writings in Germany and Mendelssohn's influence the movement grew, the agenda of the insiders being the "annihilation of every religion and positive system of belief" (Gershom Scholem, The Messianic Idea in Judaism, quoted in Scarlet and the Beast, p. 160).

Other famous Jews who were Masons and supporters of the Frankist movements were Immanuel Kant and Karl Marx (32nd Degree Grand Orient Mason, real name Levi Mordechai), and by 1843 they had a lodge in New York specifically for Jews, the Jewish Masonic Lodge. Marx was influential on other Jews who would be involved in the communistic revolutions of the early 20th century, namely, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. Both were Masons, and their Bolshevik revolution was financed by American corporations (See W. Cleon Skousen, The Naked Capitalist, and Antony C. Sutton, Wallstreet and the Bolshevik Revolution.) 

According to Mr. Daniel, the Frankists eventually grew into an international body and changed their name to the Cult of the All-Seeing Eye, and began placing this "symbol of illumination into synagogues throughout the world" (Scarlet, p. 164). As you can see, it wasn't the Jews who infiltrated the Illuminati and become the infamous Cabal, it was the Illuminati who infiltrated the Jewish religion, through initiated Jews who were highly influential. The race and religion has become a convenient scapegoat for the insiders, truly a hiss and a byword among all nations. Thankfully, God will recover any of them who repent and restore their good name, while revealing upon the house tops those who framed them and their works of darkness. 

Meyer Amschel Rothchild is yet another famous German Jew and international banker who is alleged to have financed Weishaupt and the Illuminati. The name Rothchild means red shield, or Rot Schild in German. Mr. Daniel's opinion of Rothchild comes from a book authored by Count Egon Caesar Corti, entitled, The Rise of the House of Rothchild, which is a well-documented and thoroughly researched history of the Rothchild dynasty. Although Meyer Rothchild eventually joined a lodge, there is no evidence that he was involved in any Illuminati plot, and his rise to wealth, according to Corti, came from "ingenious business deals." His agenda seemed to be purely based upon the liberation of all Jewish peoples. It is true that Rothchild financed both sides of the French Revolution, both the kings and the desperate Napoleon, but his stipulations were to "award all Jews full freedom." His competitors were also Jewish bankers, Max Warburg and Jacob Schiff, both Grand Orient (French) Masons. According to Mr. Daniel, the Rothchilds (specifically Meyer's son) bankrolled English Freemasonry, and the Warburgs backed French Freemasonry, but despite his involvement in building up oligarchical Masonry, his intentions seemed to pure. Mr. Daniel offers the following caveat:

Consider the facts. Raised in the ghettos at Frankfurt, Rothschild was well aware of the despicable plight of the Jews. Restrictive laws against Jews would not permit him, even as a wealthy man, to break out of these horrid conditions. He died in those same ghettos without realizing his dream. His sole purpose in life was to free the Jews from this contemptible state, while at the same time building a future for his family - an honorable Jewish tradition. No thought of conspiracy ever entered Rothchild's mind, nor corruption taint his practice. To the contrary, he labored to never make so much as an accounting error. Furthermore, his honor was upheld with praise from his royal patrons. when the Revolution did come, royalty, fearing for their lives and their riches, turned to Rothschild for help. He did not let them down. Although Rothchild never betrayed his royal customers, he really had no concern as to who would rule Europe, so long as his own interests, and that of the Jews, were protected... (Ibid, p. 166) 

Mr. Daniel's opinion is an interesting one, sometimes we have ideas about historical figures that are loaded with bias, and Rothschild has been linked with a Jewish conspiracy of international bankers for sure. But sometimes people are in the right place at the right time to make them appear guilty of something that they are innocent of. His story could be such a case, but regardless, linking Rothschild with an international Jewish conspiracy for world domination is a weak argument at best, and omits many of the facts. 

Finally, a famous document that has long been considered a hoax painted a group (197 to be exact) of unnamed Jewish delegates as the perpetrators behind a world conspiracy to create a one-world government. That document is called The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. It was alleged to have been the minutes of a three-day meeting held in August of 1897, the first Zionist Congress at Basel, Switzerland. The Protocols consisted of 24 documents containing details about future plans to enslave the world, and was the major source of the anti-Semitism that spread throughout Europe before the rise of Hitler. The Protocols were first published in Russia in 1903, conveniently during the climax of Jewish Reform that began in the mid 1800s. According to Mr. Daniel, German Grand Orient (French) Freemasonry sent Reform Jews to destroy Jewish Orthodoxy in Russia in 1840, eight years before Karl Marx would publish the Communist Manifesto. These infiltrators were charged with "destroying Russian Jews through assimilation into Russian society." The Czarist regime backed the Reformers, and began forced assimilation programs that ended in violent pogroms (organized massacres) of innocent Jews. Jewish resistance to the terror that ensued resulted in a push for a return to Palestine, the Jewish homeland, and thus the modern Zionist movement was born. Mr. Daniel writes:

Zionism was an escapist reaction that grew from the anti-Semitic seeds sown by the Reform. Within four decades Zionism became a nationalistic movement of Jews around the world. Herzl created the first Zionist Congress held in Basel, Switzerland in 1897. Twenty years later Russia experienced "the vengeance of the Jews" in the Bolshevik Revolution, so stated those who had read and believed the "evidence" of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sion. (Scarlet, p. 290)

Mr. Daniel uses the French spelling (Sion) for the Protocols of the Learned Elders of "Zion, because he believes that the document was created in France decades earlier by Grand Orient Freemasonry... by those who "say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie." The Russian Revolution was a watershed moment for Jewish persecution, both sides of which were financed by Jewish bankers. Alexander Kerensky, vying to establish a democratic government, was backed by the Rothschilds, and by orthodox Jews, which he won full emancipation for on April 5th of 1917. On the other end of the spectrum, was Bolshevik Vladimir Lenin, funded by Max Warburg, who, in a bloodless coup, toppled the Kerensky government in October of that same year. After Kerensky fell, Rothschild diverted his funding to the White Russians, until they too began to persecute the Jews. With the help of American corporations, the Bolsheviks would defeat the Whites and assume full power of the Provisional Russian government by 1919, and the result was a mass exodus of Jews escaping to the west, settling in Germany. 

Meanwhile, the Anglo-American establishment was pushing the propaganda of the Protocols, specifically two high-ranking Freemasons, Henry Ford and Winston Churchill. Ford reproduced the Protocols in a book titled The International Jew in the early 1920s, while young Churchill, Great Britain's secretary of War, was charging "the Jews with engineering a world wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization." During Hitler's rise to power, he had discovered the Protocols, and would record in Mein Kampf that they were proof of a Jewish conspiracy, which he used to justify the ritual slaughter of six million Jews. However, Hitler was also a high ranking Mason, and could've been aware that the Protocols were a forgery blaming the Jews for a conspiracy that was actually being perpetrated by Gentile Masons. Along with Lenin, Hitler too was funded by American corporations (See Antony C. Sutton, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler) during his rise to power, and was probably privy to inside information. But his zeal to establish world government too quickly ended in millions of deaths and carnage worldwide. 

So who really authored the Protocols? Mr. Daniel documents in his book that in 1935, the court of Berne in Switzerland ruled that the Protocols were Jewish, but were rather of French origin. Specifically, they were a plagiarism of a French book entitled the Dialogues of Geneva, anonymously published in Brussels in 1865. Mr. Daniel records that the real author of the Dialogues was discovered and arrested by the police of Napoleon III, a lawyer named Maurice Joly. He spent two years in jail for authoring the revolutionary document, and, as it turns out, Joly was a Freemason, and a close friend of the famous French poet Victor Hugo (author of the Hunchback of Notre Dame), both were members of the Rose-Croix order in France. Mr. Daniel writes:

From 1844 until his death in 1885, Victor Hugo was the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion. The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, suggest that the Rosicrucian order to which both Joly and Hugo belonged was the Priory of Sion. (Scarlet, p. 292)

As you can see, the Jews never had a fighting chance to redeem themselves. They have been framed in a carefully crafted conspiracy carried out by English Freemasonry, the very Mother of Harlots. The Jewish Cabal is a myth, one that Satan perpetuates in an attempt to destroy God's covenant people, and to confuse the rest of us as to what is really going on in Israel. Someday, God will show the world that His "wisdom is greater than the cunning of the Devil," and all of His people (who repent) will be restored to their lands of promise, while those who dig pits for them will fall in themselves. 

The Protocols today are not taken seriously by anyone, and this too is part of the genius of blaming them on the Jews a century ago. Considered a hoax, they have been collecting dust on the proverbial bookshelves of fringe conspiracy theory, but they do reveal the ancient Babylonian System, the modus operandi of how the Globalists are planning to establish world government, and they are doing it right under our noses. 

The Babylonian System

This post is already too long, I'm not doing a very good job at keeping my posts shorter, so I'll just lay out the main tenets of the 24 Protocols. I'll save the details for a later post when I compare the Babylonian System to the Lord's system of having all things common. You'll notice subtle similarities between the Protocols and Marx's Communist Manifesto, as well as the Humanist Manifesto written in the 1930s. The difference in the Protocols is that the authors outright admit what they are doing behind the scenes. The authors refer to non-Jews as the Goyim, but this is a code word for the profane. Remember, these aren't Jews, they are mystery school adepts pretending to be Jews, but they are revealing their true philosophy. The following points are my own summaries of each protocol:

1. Men are incapable of self-government, and therefore need to be ruled by violence and terror. Political freedom in an abstract idea, not a fact. Right lies in might. A good politician shouldn't be guided by morals (Machiavellianism)
2. Education will be used to destroy individual autonomy. Intellectuals will be in the employ of the elite to mold popular opinion. 
3. Poverty will be used as a weapon against the masses. Education will be used to mold society into divisions and classes. The basis of human life is social existence (a cog in the wheel of society), national schools will teach division of labor and inequality. Divide (into social classes) and conquer as a means of control. 
4. Religion must be destroyed. All faith must be undermined and replaced with "arithmetical calculations and material needs." In other words, materialism. 
5. The masses will be led by lies and the elites will control all money and capital. 
6. Huge monopolies will be established, economic controls will keep the "Gentiles," i.e., the profane, enslaved. 
7. Universal war. The buildup of armaments, the creation of police states, using the threat of war and violence to keep the masses fearful and easy to rule. 
8. Legalese must be created to skew the true meaning of law and order. Lawyers and judges will work against the people. Economists will be employed by the State to justify the elite control of finances. (I wrote an article about legalese last winter, entitled Slavery by Consent)
9. The elites will create a "Jewish" super-state, i.e., a one-world government. They refer to it as an "international super-government." 
10. Their goal is world power. They will create chaos amongst all the nations to use as a pretext for one-world government. They control politics and hand-pick presidents. Liberalism (classical liberalism, remember this was written in the mid 1850s) is "poison."
11. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. "Secret Masonry" is the basis of their organization. They will use the machinery of the State to "make Law, Right, and Justice," according to the "Legislative Corp," i.e., which they refer to us "the editorial committee of the laws and decrees of the ruler." 
12. They will control the press. They will change the meaning of the word "freedom." They will destroy freedom of the press. They will use "the instrument of thought" as "an educative means on the hands of our government." Only lies will be printed (fake news). 
13. Bread and circuses. They will keep the working classes distracted with "amusements, games, pastimes, passions, people's palaces [idols], competitions and sports." 
14. They will abolish all religion except theirs (atheism). Christians will be especially targeted. The name of Christ will be forbidden. 
15. They control secret societies. Low-ranking Freemasons will be do their bidding without realizing it. They will use coups and clandestine operations to control nations. They view the profane as cattle. They will demand absolute obedience to "patriarchal" and "paternal" leaders. 
16. They will change history: "we shall erase from the memory of men all facts of previous centuries which are undesirable to us, and leave only those which depict all the errors of government of the Goyim." They will use "object lessons" to "turn the Goyim into unthinking submissive brutes." 
17. They will destroy (infiltrate) the clergy. They will launch a crusade against Christianity until it is completely destroyed. All subjects will bow to the State and comply with obligatory duties and services. 
18. They will govern by fear. Their appointed rulers will have the indiscriminate power of capital punishment. Criminals will be arrested on mere suspicion (thought crime). 
19. Political crime, i.e., crimes against the State, will be included with theft and murder. Sedition and treason will be defined as speaking against political rulers. 
20. They will destroy capital through inflation. They will cause depressions and recessions as a means of control. The gold standard will be obliterated. Usury will be used to keep individuals and nations subservient to the elites. 
21. Manipulation of the money supply, using government debt to keep the masses enslaved to interest and taxes (Hamiltonian idea of public debt).
22. The justification of committing horrendous acts of evil to bring about order (ordo ab chao).
23. They will demand absolute obedience from the Goyim when their "Chosen One of God' will finally be crowned as King. Whoever does not comply will be executed. 
24. Others will rule under the "Chosen One," others whom they call kings who descend from the Davidic line (this is right in line with the philosophies of the Priory of Sion, i.e., English Freemasonry).

These twenty-four protocols comprise the Babylonian System in a nutshell. The ancient system of government that characterized how Nimrod ruled the burgeoning post-diluvian world. The main tenets being the abolition of freedom of religion and conscience, and requiring absolute fealty to self-appointed "divine" mortal leaders. In other words, a theocratic totalitarian dictatorship. Remember, Satan wanted two things in the pre-existent council: to destroy the agency of man, and to take God's power for himself. Above all things he desires to be worshipped, and when the Beast system is unleashed upon the earth, he will get his wish, albeit for a short time. 

In part three I'll be getting into the prophecies of John, Daniel, and Zechariah. The interpretations will mostly come from Mr. Daniel's book, Scarlet and the Beast, and may not be totally correct. I think prophecy is meant to understood only by the Spirit, so please don't take any of what I'm writing as authoritative or absolute. Nephi told us that we will begin to understand these things only as they play out, however, in light of Freemasonry and its occultic beliefs, I think Mr. Daniel is definitely on the right track. John and Daniel saw the same end-time beast, and the history of the war between French and English Freemasonry makes a lot of sense when you begin to analyze the heads and horns the prophets describe as appendages to that beast. Stay tuned for part three...
