Religious 27: Secret Societies — Fall of Protestantism
Eph 5:11: “…have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Amos 3:7 “…God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
2 Cor 11:14-15 “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.”
Why this post?
To trace a single thread from a wounded soldier in 16th-century Spain to a reinstalled Masonic statue in 21st-century Washington DC—and show how Protestantism has been dismantled from within.
Introduction
It took me two decades to put together the information across this series, and this post is probably the widest in scope. The topic of secret societies is massive—entire libraries have been written about Freemasonry alone. So I had to narrow the lens.
Here’s what I’m focused on: the Jesuits, their creation of Freemasonry, the link to occultism through Blavatsky and Alice Bailey all the way to the United Nations, and how all of this has culminated in the quiet re-absorption of Protestantism back under Rome’s influence. With a stop along the way at a certain TV show called The Chosen.
Before anyone gets offended—I want to be clear, as I’ve said in previous posts. This is not about Catholics. I have friends and family who are Catholic. This is about an institution and the orders within that have operated behind the scenes for centuries. The Bible makes a distinction between the entity and the people, so should I.
But we need to talk about this. Because what the reformers warned about 500 years ago is happening right now—in plain sight—and most Christians have no idea.
Let me show you.
The Wounded Soldier & The Order He Built
It starts with a man named Iñigo López de Oñaz y Loyola. Born at the castle of Loyola in Spain. The early records describe him as brash, easily offended, and violent. Not exactly the kind of person you’d expect to build one of the most powerful organisations in human history.
But in 1521, a French cannonball shattered his leg at the Battle of Pamplona. And everything changed.
While recovering—which took months—he read fanciful books about the saints and about Jesus. Not the Bible itself, mind you, but romanticised Catholic literature. He made his way to the mountains of Montserrat to visit the Black Madonna. And somewhere in that journey from wounded soldier to mystical pilgrim, Ignatius of Loyola was born.
He developed what became known as the Spiritual Exercises—a programme of meditation and mental conditioning that, at its core, is about destroying your ability to reason independently. The principle?
“What I see as white, I will believe is black, if the hierarchy of the Church so determines.”
That’s not faith. That’s programming.
In 1534, Loyola and a small group took vows in Paris. By 1540, Pope Paul III officially sanctioned the Society of Jesus—the Jesuits. Their stated purpose from the very beginning was to counter the Protestant Reformation and restore papal supremacy.
What they became
Let me lay out what others have said about them. Not fringe sources—presidents, generals, inventors, philosophers:
Napoleon Bonaparte called them “a military organisation, not a religious order. Their chief is a general of an army... And the aim of this organization is: POWER. Power in its most despotic exercise.”
The Marquis de Lafayette warned: “If the liberties of this country—the United States—are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty.”
Samuel Morse—yes, the telegraph inventor—called them “a secret society, a sort of Masonic order, with superadded features of revolting odiousness, and a thousand times more dangerous.”
And then there’s this. Adolf Hitler said: “I have learnt most of all from the Jesuit Order... In Himmler I see our Ignatius de Loyola.”
That’s not me making a wild comparison. That’s Hitler himself identifying the Jesuit model as the blueprint for the SS. Walther Schellenberg, head of German foreign intelligence, confirmed it:
“The SS had been organized by Himmler according to the principles of the Jesuit Order. The rules of service and spiritual exercises prescribed by Ignatius de Loyola constituted a model which Himmler strove carefully to copy.”
They’ve been banned several times:
The most brutal totalitarian machine of the 20th century was modelled on a Catholic religious order. Let that settle in.
The Oath
There’s been a lot of debate about the so-called extreme Jesuit oath. Sceptics say it’s a forgery. But here’s what we know for certain.
The oath surfaced during the 1912 US Congressional elections in Pennsylvania between Eugene Bonnywell and Thomas Butler. It was entered into the Congressional Record. The content is graphic—it describes pledges to infiltrate Protestant churches, to act as a Jew among Jews, a Protestant among Protestants, and to persecute and kill heretics by any means necessary:
Is it real? The Jesuits deny it. But consider this: there’s a second document, the Secreta Monita (Secret Instructions), which the Jesuits also initially denied as a forgery. A Jesuit named Jacob Gretser claimed it was published in 1616 by a disgraced member. But then a copy was discovered in the British Museum from a work printed in 1596—twenty years before the alleged forgery. So the “forgery” predated itself.
And what we can verify from official Catholic sources is damning enough. The Pontificale Romanum contains the abbot’s oath by Clement VIII, which includes the pledge:
“Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our Lord the Pope... I will to the extent of my power persecute and beat down.”
That’s not a conspiracy. That’s their own published document. James Bowen of Heritage and Hope Ministries showed the actual physical book on camera—a multi-volume work by Jesuit authors Philippe Labbé and Gabriel Cossart containing the licence for torture from Exeter Ponda Rule 25.
The end justifies the means. That was and is the foundational Jesuit principle.
Not Ancient History
A lot of people hear about the Jesuits and think—that’s all medieval stuff. Inquisitions and reformations. Dusty history.
It’s not.
There are roughly 13,000 to 14,000 Jesuits worldwide today. About 2,000 in North America. That sounds small—until you look at where they are.
The Jesuits run 28 colleges and universities across the United States through the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU), spread across 17 states and Washington DC. Plus over 50 high schools and 17 pre-secondary schools. Globally, the Jesuits operate approximately 3,700 schools educating 2.5 million students. By the 1700s, they had already built over 700 colleges across Europe alone—before they were temporarily suppressed. They came back. They always come back.
The US list includes some names you’ll recognise: Georgetown (the oldest Jesuit university in America, founded 1789—which has produced more US diplomats than any institution in history), Fordham, Boston College, Loyola (multiple campuses), Xavier, Gonzaga, Santa Clara, Creighton, Marquette. These aren’t fringe institutions. They’re pipeline schools for American political, legal, corporate, and intelligence leadership.
And the leaders who come out of this system? They don’t hide it. They’re proud of it.
Barack Obama, speaking at a Jesuit institution:
“Simply put, this country and this world benefit from your commitment to Jesuit principles.”
John Boehner, former Speaker of the House:
“As a graduate of another great Jesuit institution, Xavier University, I have great affection for the value and purpose of a Jesuit education.”
Anthony Fauci:
“A long period of education under the Jesuits was just very natural to get me to where I am today.”
Just think about that last one. The man who became the face of the global pandemic response casually credits his Jesuit formation as the foundation of his career. And nobody blinks.
And then there’s the papacy itself. In 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis—the first Jesuit pope in history. The order that was created to serve the pope now is the pope. As one researcher put it: the power of the Jesuit order is now complete. The general controls the pope, and the pope is one of them.
Google how many Jesuit-educated individuals sit in Congress, on the Supreme Court, in the intelligence agencies, and in corporate boardrooms right now. The Knights of Malta—another Catholic military order with deep Jesuit ties—founded both the CIA and FBI through individuals like William “Wild Bill” Donovan.
As one of the presenters on Heritage and Hope Ministries noted: you don’t get into positions of power within these organisations without having the right connections. And ultimately, they all trace back to Rome.
Thirteen thousand people running 3,700 schools across 112 nations. That’s not a relic. That’s an infrastructure.
Black Pope
The "Black Pope" is the nickname for the Superior General of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), not a pope of African descent. The title, currently held by Fr. Arturo Sosa, refers to the plain black cassock worn by the Jesuit leader in contrast to the white garb of the Roman Catholic Pope.
They’ve been in the news recently:
The Theological Deception
Here’s something most Christians don’t know—and it might be the most important section of this post.
Every major Protestant reformer identified the papacy as the Antichrist power described in Daniel and Revelation. Not individual popes—the institution of the papacy. The seat itself.
Martin Luther knew it. John Calvin knew it. The Waldenses knew it centuries before them. Jewish scholars like Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and Abrabanel identified it. Even some Catholic authors like Archbishop Eberhard II of Salzburg acknowledged it. The Geneva Bible—the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America—had commentary directly linking the beast of Revelation to the Roman system. I showed this in my previous post using a 1560 Geneva Bible.
This was the historicist interpretation. And it was devastating to Rome. People were leaving the Catholic Church in droves. The Reformation was on fire.
So Rome created the Jesuits. And the Jesuits created a counter-theology.
They developed two alternative interpretations designed to take the spotlight off the papacy:
Preterism — through the Jesuit Luis de Alcazar (1554-1613). His view placed everything in the past. Nero was the antichrist. It’s all already happened. Nothing to see here.
Futurism — through Jesuits Francisco Ribera and Manuel de Lacunza. Their view cast everything into the distant future. A single individual antichrist is yet to come. We’re not there yet. Nothing to see here either.
See the genius? Rome didn’t care which one you bought. Preterism or futurism—pick your poison. As long as you stopped looking at Rome.
And here’s the kicker with Lacunza. He wrote his futurist interpretation under the pen name Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra—a Jewish-sounding name. He literally pretended to be Jewish to plant this theology. This directly mirrors the Jesuit oath to be “a Jew among the Jews, a Protestant among the Protestants.”
The question every Protestant should ask themselves today: which interpretation does your church teach? If it’s futurism—and for most evangelicals it is—you are reading prophecy through a Jesuit lens. Doug Wilson, a prominent figure in the Christian Nationalist crowd, is currently parroting preterist ideas about Nero. The very theology the reformers exposed as a Jesuit deception.
I covered the prophetic timelines in detail in my post 11. If you haven’t read it, now would be a good time.
The Protestant Arm of Rome
This is where it gets really interesting.
The chain of secret esoteric knowledge runs like this—and this isn’t my invention. This comes from high Masonic sources themselves, documented extensively in Walter Veith’s Total Onslaught series:
Old Babylonian religion → Cabalism → Gnosticism (founded by Simon Magus, per Eliphas Levi, a high Masonic authority) → Knights Templars (who had strong links to Islamic societies—the Ismailis, the Assassins) → Rosicrucians and Jesuits → Freemasonry
That last step is the one most people miss. The Jesuits created Freemasonry.
And Freemasonry was designed as—wait for it—the Protestant arm of the Roman Catholic Church. Protestants doing Rome’s dirty work without even knowing it. Rome sits in the background. Freemasonry does the heavy lifting. And if anyone points fingers, it’s Protestants who get the blame, not Rome.
The Masons admit it themselves
In the Freemasons Magazine and Masonic Mirror, Volume 4—an 1800s Masonic publication—page 399 states:
“The brothers and fellows of the Freemasons are the Scholastici and Coadjutors Spirituales of the Jesuits. For the temporal or secular Jesuits are not yet members of the order... And the secular Jesuits do not yet know that Freemasonry is under the direction of the order... The Masons are not to know that they are the slaves of the Jesuits. By the way, they certainly do not know it.”
That’s not from a conspiracy theory website. That’s from a Masonic publication.
Only at the highest levels do Masons realise who actually controls them. Most lodge members at the lower degrees have absolutely no clue. It’s the same layered structure as the Jesuits themselves—novices at the bottom know nothing of what the masters at the top are doing.
Now here’s a fascinating irony. The Vatican has officially banned Catholics from joining Freemasonry since 1738. Multiple papal bulls condemn it. On the surface, these two organisations are enemies. But that’s the cover story. Behind the curtain, it’s a different picture entirely.
Alberto Rivera, an ex-Jesuit priest, described the moment he kissed the ring of a high Jesuit official and saw on that ring the Masonic compass and square. He said his blood ran cold. He later discovered the Jesuit General was also a Mason.
Albert Pike and Morals and Dogma
Enter Albert Pike. A 33rd-degree Freemason who served as Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite’s Southern Jurisdiction for 32 years. His 1871 book Morals and Dogma is essentially the Bible of Freemasonry.
And in it, Pike makes one thing absolutely clear about who Freemasons worship:
“Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light... doubt it not!”
That’s straight from Morals and Dogma. They’re not hiding it. Lucifer is their god.
Pike also wrote that Jacques de Molay—the last Grand Master of the Knights Templars—created Scottish Masonry from his prison cell before his execution. The initials J.B.M. appear in the first three Masonic degrees as one of the “internal and cogent proofs” of that Templar origin.
So when you look at the symbols—the double-headed eagle on both Templar altars and Masonic lodges, the sun worship in both the Jesuit IHS emblem and Masonic imagery, the compass and square appearing on Jesuit rings—the overlap isn’t coincidence. It’s architecture.
Those in the know
Secret societies create two tiers of doctrine. The one is for those who are on the inside and then the other for the uninitiated. Albert Pike clarifies this in Morals and Dogma that Roman Catholicism are for the laymen and Johannism for those in the know:
The Pike Statue: Restored in Plain Sight
Speaking of Albert Pike—let’s talk about his statue.
In Washington DC, near Judiciary Square, there stood the only outdoor monument to a Confederate general in the entire capital. But here’s the thing—the statue doesn’t depict Pike in military uniform. It shows him in civilian Masonic dress. Because the statue wasn’t about the Confederacy. It was about Freemasonry. It was funded by the Scottish Rite and erected in 1901, attended by thousands of Masons who marched in a celebratory parade.
In June 2020, during the BLM protests following George Floyd’s death, demonstrators pulled the Pike statue down with ropes and set it on fire on live television. It was placed in storage.
For five years, it sat there.
Then, in October 2025, the Trump administration reinstalled it. The National Park Service cited executive orders on “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” and “beautifying the nation’s capital.” The NPS specifically honoured Pike’s
“32 years as Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient Rite of Scottish Freemasonry.”
Think about that for a moment. Of all the statues that could have been restored, of all the historical monuments that could have been prioritised—this one, the monument to a 33rd-degree Freemason who wrote that Lucifer is the light-bearer, gets a federal restoration and reinstallation.
DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton called it “morally objectionable.” But the restoration went ahead anyway.
I’ve written before about the USA in Bible prophecy—the second beast of Revelation 13, the lamb that speaks like a dragon. A nation founded on Protestant and republican principles that eventually acts in the interest of the first beast (Rome). If you haven’t read those posts, I’d encourage you to revisit them. Because a Masonic monument being restored by executive order in the nation’s capital isn’t just politics. It’s symbolism. And these people love their symbols.
The Occult Pipeline: Blavatsky → Bailey → The United Nations
Now we leave the world of secret lodges and military orders and enter something arguably darker.
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891) was a Russian occultist who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She didn’t hide what she believed. Her magazine was called Lucifer. And her writings leave zero room for ambiguity:
“Lucifer represents Life, Thought, Progress, Civilization, Liberty...”
“It is Satan who is the god of our planet and the only god.”
That’s from her own pen. She also drew heavily from Eliphas Levi—the same high Masonic occultist whose work is cited in the chain from Gnosticism to Templars. It’s all the same stream.
And—this is significant—Blavatsky herself connected the Jesuits to the Knights Templars. She wrote that the modern versions of the Templars were inspired and influenced by the Jesuits to “Christianise” what the Templars actually believed. So even a Luciferian occultist saw the Jesuit hand at work.
Enter Alice Bailey
Alice Bailey (1880-1949) was Blavatsky’s successor. She joined the Theosophical Society around 1917, eventually fell out with the leadership, and went on to found her own organisation. In 1922, she established a publishing company.
She named it the Lucifer Publishing Company.
I’m not making this up. The original title page of her book Initiation, Human and Solar (1922) clearly shows “Lucifer Publishing Co.” as the publisher. When the name generated too much public backlash, she renamed it to Lucis Trust in 1923. Because apparently “Lucis” sounds better than “Lucifer” even though they share the same Latin root.
Bailey claimed to channel a demonic entity she called “Djwhal Khul” (referred to as “the Tibetan”) for 30 years. Under this entity’s direction, she wrote 24 volumes outlining what she called “The Plan”—a blueprint for a new world order, world citizenship, and the externalisation of a “spiritual hierarchy.”
The United Nations Connection
Here’s where it gets institutional. Lucis Trust didn’t stay as a fringe occult publisher. It became a player on the world stage.
Lucis Trust’s subsidiary World Goodwill holds official consultative NGO status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). They have a close working relationship with the UN, including a seat at weekly sessions and influence with powerful national leaders.
At one time, the Lucis Trust office in New York was located at 666 United Nations Plaza. The address has since changed. But you can’t make this stuff up.
The UN also has a Meditation Room—a dark, windowless chamber with a massive iron ore altar and an abstract mural. Lucis Trust has been involved in its maintenance and the spiritual philosophy behind it. It’s designed for “silent meditation” of a distinctly New Age variety.
And let’s not forget Teilhard de Chardin—a Jesuit priest who became known as the “philosopher of the United Nations.” His evolutionary mysticism heavily influenced UN thinking. So even at the UN, the Jesuit fingerprint is there.
Bailey herself laid out a 10-point strategy that reads like a checklist of exactly what has unfolded over the last 70 years: push God out of schools, break the traditional family, remove restrictions on sex, promote alternative lifestyles, make the church endorse each change, and—most importantly—target the children.
Rick Warren’s PEACE Plan mirrors the UN’s Millennium Development Goals almost exactly. Plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, educate the next generation. Sounds noble on the surface. But when the framework is identical to a Luciferian blueprint for global control... you have to ask questions.
The 2025 Reveal
Here’s where it gets very current. And very unsettling. With some academical work.
In her book The Externalisation of the Hierarchy (published posthumously in 1957), Bailey wrote that every 25th year of each century—going back as far as 1425—the “Spiritual Hierarchy” holds a great general assembly. A conclave. At these centennial gatherings, these entities supposedly assess humanity’s progress and release new spiritual energies to shape the coming century.
Bailey was explicit about what would happen at the 2025 gathering. She wrote:
“In 2025, the date in all probability will be set for the first stage of the externalisation of the Hierarchy.”
She described the period leading up to it as “The Stage of the Forerunner”—preparatory in nature, testing in its methods, and “intended to be revelatory in its techniques and results.”
A woman channeling a demonic entity in the 1940s declared that 2025 would mark the year these spiritual beings begin to manifest physically on earth. Not just influence from behind the scenes. Not just impressions and telepathic nudges. Actual externalisation. The Masters, she wrote, “will walk openly among men.”
And it’s not just buried in some old book. Lucis Trust actively promoted 12 May 2025 as a pivotal date for this “Great General Assembly.” There’s an entire organisation—the 2025 Initiative: Preparing the Way—that exists specifically to coordinate around this event. Their stated goal? Preparing for the emergence of a “New Civilisation” and the “Reappearance of the World Saviour”—whom they call Christ, Maitreya, Imam Al-Mahdi, and Messiah interchangeably. Note the ecumenical language. One figure to unite all religions.
Now, from a Biblical perspective, this is chilling. Bailey’s “Christ” is not the Jesus of scripture. Her writings describe multiple “Christs” and a “Christ Consciousness” attainable by various individuals—which is the opposite of what the Bible teaches. When she predicts a world teacher appearing to unite all religions under one spiritual umbrella, the Bible has a name for that: the false prophet. Protestantism acting as Catholocism.
And we’re living in the year these plans were supposed to activate.
Whether anything visibly “manifested” in 2025 is beside the point. What matters is that the institutions Bailey built—Lucis Trust, World Goodwill, the Arcane School—are embedded at the United Nations and are actively working toward this vision right now. The infrastructure is in place. The spiritual framework has been laid. And most of the world—including most of the church—has no idea it exists.
And then in 2026 both Obama and Trump called for the disclosure of UAP phenomenon. Worth a post of its own.
A Templar Plays Christ
Now let’s talk about something closer to home for most Christians.
The Chosen is arguably the most popular Christian media production of this decade. Millions of believers watch it. Churches run study groups around it. People genuinely love it.
And the actor who plays Jesus—Jonathan Roumie—is a Roman Catholic who publicly admits to being a Knights Templar.
In his own words, from a video interview documented by Little Light Studios:
“I was knighted by the Order... the Solemn Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem. Essentially, the Knights Templar.”
On his official Instagram page, he posted:
“On behalf of my fellow Templar brothers and sisters, we are so grateful to have been a part of it.”
He’s not keeping it a secret. But most viewers have no idea what it means.
Memento Mori
Roumie is known for wearing skull rings, skull t-shirts, and using skull mugs. He explains it as “memento mori”—a Latin phrase meaning “remember that you will die.” He frames it as a Catholic tradition about cultivating holiness in light of mortality.
On the surface, it seems harmless. Maybe even admirable. But here’s the problem.
Memento mori isn’t just Catholic. The Freemasons claim it too. From the Oriental Lodge Number 33’s own website:
“One of the themes that Freemasonry emphasizes is memento mori—remember that you will die.”
So you’ve got the same death-fixation symbolism shared across Catholics, Jesuits, and Freemasons. And the man who carries all of it is playing Jesus Christ for Protestant audiences.
Bishop Robert Baron—another prominent Catholic media figure who promotes memento mori—has deep Jesuit ties. His biography highlights his admiration for Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (the same Jesuit philosopher linked to the UN), and his ministry “Word on Fire” is filled with content promoting Ignatius of Loyola and Ignatian spirituality.
Roumie also practiced “grave soaking” to prepare for a role—literally laying down on someone’s grave to absorb their spirit. That’s not Christian. That’s necromancy dressed in piety.
And it’s not just Roumie. Multiple people surrounding The Chosen’s production have ties to Jesuit institutions. The show is ecumenical by design—pulling Protestants toward Rome and making Catholicism cool again. A Catholic Templar playing Jesus for Protestant audiences while nobody questions the symbolism.
The deeper point—from a Protestant prophetic perspective—is that the papacy, which Protestants historically identified as the Antichrist power, now has one of its own portraying Christ himself on screen. And the Protestant world is applauding.
Little Light Studios produced two excellent documentaries on The Chosen that go into far more detail than I can here. I’d recommend watching both—links in the sources section below.
A brief note on spiritual formation
There’s a broader pattern here that deserves at least a mention, even though it warrants its own post. Practices like Lectio Divina (a Jesuit-rooted meditative prayer technique), contemplative prayer, and what’s called “spiritual formation” have been making their way into Protestant and evangelical churches at an alarming rate. The Hallow App—a Catholic prayer and meditation app—is being marketed to and adopted by Protestants. These practices involve repetitive prayer, silence meditation, and mystical techniques that have far more in common with eastern mysticism than anything the reformers taught.
Matthew 6:7: “Jesus said, ‘Use not vain repetitions as the heathen do.’ But these people will have you repeat phrases hundreds of times until you are totally hypnotised.”
Walter Veith and Martin Smith discussed this extensively in their What’s Up Prof series, particularly regarding the Hallow App and its Ignatian roots.
The Quiet Takeover: The Fall of Protestantism
Let’s pull all of this together.
The Jesuits were created to destroy Protestantism. That was their stated purpose. And they’ve done it—not through force (although they did plenty of that during the Inquisition)—but through something far more effective: infiltration.
Theologically: They invented preterism and futurism to replace historicism. Today, virtually no mainstream Protestant church teaches that the papacy fulfils the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. The very theology that powered the Reformation has been abandoned—replaced by Jesuit alternatives.
Institutionally: They created Freemasonry as the “Protestant arm of the Roman Catholic Church.” Protestants unknowingly doing Rome’s work. The Masonic publication from the 1800s admits it in black and white.
Occultly: Through the pipeline of Blavatsky, Bailey, and Lucis Trust, Luciferian philosophy found its way into the corridors of the United Nations—the very institution pushing one-world governance and ecumenism.
Culturally: Through media like The Chosen, apps like Hallow, and the broader spiritual formation movement, Catholic practices and Jesuit mysticism are being repackaged for Protestant consumption. And Protestants are eating it up.
Politically: The USA—the second beast of Revelation—restored a monument to a 33rd-degree Lucifer-worshipping Freemason by executive order. The lamb speaks like a dragon.
The reformers saw this coming. Every single one of them.
Luther, Calvin, Wycliffe, Huss, Tyndale, Knox—they all identified the papacy as the prophetic Antichrist. They bled for that truth. Many of them died for it. The Waldenses preserved the faith through centuries of persecution in the mountains.
And now? Now Protestant churches teach Jesuit prophecy, watch a Catholic Templar play Jesus, practice Ignatian meditation, and call it a revival.
Freemasonry was created as the Protestant arm of the Roman Catholic Church. Unbeknown to them—beguiled, fooled—into doing the work that Rome wanted them to do so that Rome could sit in the background.
And then it wasn’t them. It was them.
whydoneit?
Because prophecy told us it would.
The woman riding the beast in Revelation 17 has a golden cup in her hand—and the kings of the earth commit fornication with her. The Jesuit churches in Rome literally depict this woman with pride. They’re not ashamed of it.
Everything funnels down to one goal: one world religion, one world government. The mark of the beast can only be enforced under such a system through programmable money. And the infrastructure is being built right now—through the United Nations, through ecumenism, through cultural soft power, through spiritual formation.
At the bottom of the funnel is the same lie from the Garden of Eden:
“Ye shall be as gods.”
That’s the root of theosophy. That’s the root of Gnosticism. That’s the root of every esoteric tradition from Babylon to the Lodge to the UN Meditation Room.
But here’s what they don’t want you to know: the Bible predicted all of it. Daniel saw it. John saw it. Paul warned about it. And the reformers identified it.
