Pastor Williams,
What is the “real” truth behind the Mason and Eastern Star organizations? Many of our churches host ceremonial events as well as burial rituals, without realizing that they are in error. These organizations are so steeped in secrecy that the general public is unaware of the truth.
The Order of the Eastern Star is an adoptive rite of Freemasonry with teachings based on the Bible and objectives that are charitable and benevolent. The founder of OES was Dr. Robert Morris, a lawyer and educator from Boston, Massachusetts, who was a Master Mason and Past Grand Master of Kentucky. Dr. Morris intended his creation to become a female branch of Freemasonry.
Members must be eighteen years or older and either Master Masons in good standing or properly related to a Master Mason in good standing. The latter category includes wives; widows; sisters; daughters; mothers; granddaughters; step-mothers; step daughters; step-sisters; and half-sisters. In 1994 this was expanded to include nieces, daughters-in- law, and grandmothers.
Eastern Star requires only the belief in a Supreme Being even though the degrees are based in both the Old and New Testaments.
The A.V. 1611 text does not say “eastern star.” It says “star in the east.” The phrase “Eastern Star” has a specialized meaning in occultism.
It refers to the star, Sirius, which is the most significant star in Satanism! It is sacred to the god, Set. Remember Set as the evil Egyptian god who killed Osiris? Set is probably the oldest form of Satan! The Eastern Star is the star of Set.
Freemasons secretly worship a Devil-God, known as JAHBULON. This is the combination of Jehovah, Baal. The masons claim to have found the lost name of God and it is the above mentioned name. Originally this is what they worshipped. As stated with Eastern Star, the only requirement is that you believe in a supreme being. You can be buddhist, hindu or any other religion as long as the religion subjects itself to masonry.
Therefore masons and eastern star are based upon idolatry.
Easter was started to offset the Jewish influence. Emperor Constantine wanted to bring the different factions of Christianity together. This led to the first Ecumenical Council in 325 A.D. Before the first council Jewish Bishops from Jerusalem came to Pope (Bishop is what all the popes were called before the Catholic church influence of the faith) Silvester asking that Jerusalem become the center of Christianity since Jerusalem was the root of Christianity and also the relatives of Jesus served as Bishops of Jerusalem until 125 A.D.. Pope Silvester dismissed them. There was also one other thing that greatly spoke to the Jewishness of the Christian faith.
This was Passover. In some Bibles Acts 12:4 is translated as Easter. However the Greek word is Paschal which is translated from the Hebrew word Pesach which in the English is Passover. Since the time of Christ’s ressurection the church celebrated Passover. This was the greatest day of the year in Christendom. This is when Baptisms took place and all the people Baptized received new clothes. (Tradition carried on today of receiving new clothes.) This represented the new life in Christ Jesus. Whoever controlled this day in effect had the greatest influence in Christianity. Since most people did not have calendars they relied heavily on the church leaders to tell them when Passover would begin.
The Catholic Church (the word catholic means universal, which supposedly resulted from the ecumenical council whose purpose was to unite all the Christian factions.) wanted to wrest control of this day from the Jewish influence by changing the observance of Christ resurrection. The greatest observance of the year was changed to the formula of the first Sunday after the first full moon after the twenty first of March. This event was not known to the faithful before then. Now, Passover, an event that the church had observed since the resurrection of Christ Jesus declined in influence. Since the calendars days were different they backed into good Friday. Christ Jesus said He would be in the Body of the Earth for three days and three nights. Good Friday as the burial day does not give you three days and three nights — only two nights and two days. This now celebrated day was created to accomodate the new formula for celebrating the resurrection of Christ.
The sacred time of the Passover meal that Christ told us to do in remembrance lost its significance. It was now replaced by Rabbits and eggs which are symbols of fertility related to the fertility goddess Astarte.
Most of the references can be found in a book writte by Malachi Martin, The Fall of the Roman Church; The First Ecumenical Council.
