"An Ex-Mason for Jesus, Duane Washum, says: "Now that we understand that the very organization of Freemasonry is contributing to the advancement of the coming One-World system of religion of the False Prophet and of Antichrist, we can more easily understand how Freemasonry was created so as to enable all men of all religions to join in worship. Though each one voices worship and prayer to the GAOTU [the Masonic god, which is not the God of the Bible], each one in his inner heart feels he is worshiping the demons behind his own god. Then, after a very long time, American Freemasonry no longer has anyone attending who is from a foreign religion, so they stand together as "Christians" praying to the old traditional demons behind GATEWAY.
"Once we take another quick look at the traditional Masonic symbols.. we can see the demonic force behind Freemasonry. We found the two symbols at a Wiccan Witchcraft site, - http://www.amulet.co.uk/ - in a section entitled, "History of Pentagrams"! I bet Masons or Mormons never stop to think that the traditional Masonic emblem is a Devil's Pentagram. What is the point of reference.
"In Freemasonry, Man as Microprosopus was and is associated with the five-pointed Pentalpha [Pentagram]. The symbol was used, interlaced and upright for the sitting Master of the Lodge. The geometric properties and structure of the Endless Knot were appreciated and symbolically incorporated into the 72 degree angle of the compasses - the Masonic emblem of virtue and duty." (Workman Unashamed)
"Thus fellow pagans like Wiccans in Witchcraft have no trouble seeing the truth, that Freemasonry is one of the many pagan organizations in the world. Also notice the explanation they give the Eastern Star emblem. "The Women's branch of Freemasonry uses the five pointed "Eastern Star" as its emblem. Each point commemorates a heroine of biblical lore." (Ibid.)
While this picture seems to show 10 points the Eastern Star is really only 5 points, with the other five being just repeated at slightly different angles. The compass and square emblem is inside the five sided symbol. Freemasonry goes to great lengths to disguise its true origins.
"The Masonic organization is the reason that the name, Jesus Christ, is not mentioned in any rituals, a belief in God alone is not enough for salvation and eternal life with Jesus Christ.
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well; the devils also believe, and tremble." (James 2:19) Obviously, the demons who believe in god are not saved; likewise, any person who claims belief in God without also believing in, and trusting alone in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, is not saved. Finally, no one can will themselves into Heaven. Jesus Christ alone makes the decision as to who is truly His and who is not." (Today, the Bible & You - June 1999)
