Rev 13:16-18

16 And he causeth all, both

small and great, rich and poor,

free and bond, to receive a mark

in their right hand, or in their

foreheads:

17 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.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that

hath understanding count the

number of the beast: for it is the

number of a man; and his number

is Six hundred threescore and

six.

And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work,

for the chapiters which were upon the top of the

pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the

other chapiter.

and white checkerboard represents two

OPPOSITES, and they are mingled together

in one floor

of two things God meant to be kept separated

is THE symbol of the final form of the fourth

kingdom cf. (Dan 2:43)

1 Kin 7:43-44

43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;

44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

o Hiram is associated with the number 33

o He was a cunning craftsman (CUNNING

appears 33x) that made 10 bases, 10 lavers, 1

sea, and 12 oxen (10 + 10 + 1 + 12= 33)

o 33 is the most prominent number in

Freemasonry

o There are 33 degrees in the Scottish rite

o The cover of Morals And Dogma (the

handbook of Scottish rite Freemasonry) by

Albert Pike includes the symbol of a double-

headed eagle shadowing 32 stars, with a crown

arrayed with a finished pyramid containing the

number 33 (i.e.- the 33rd star)

Mystery, Babylon The Great

o The cover of Morals

And Dogma also

includes two Latin

phrases, Deus Meumque

Jus which means “God

and my right”, and Ordo

Ab Chao which means

“order out of chaos”

o There are variations of

this symbol but all point

the coming of a new

world order out of the

pit (Rev 9:11; 11:7;

17:8)

Mystery, Babylon The Great

o In the symbol on the left, the two heads of the eagle and the crown above stand incontrast to the three tail feather below (i.e.- “AsAbove, So Below”)

o The symbol on the left has an equilateral triangle containing the number 33 pointingDOWN, while the symbol on the right has an equilateral triangle containing thenumber 33 pointing UP (i.e.- “As Above, So Below”)

Mystery, Babylon The Great

o Corresponding to the symbol of the double-headed eagle is Janus, the Roman god

of beginnings and transitions

o He is a MINGLING of two OPPOSITE faces, one representing the past and the

other the future

o Since he is the god of transition, he is associated with doors, gates, and keys and is

often depicted holding a key

o His consort, Cybele, also holds a key

Mystery, Babylon The Great

o Corresponding to the symbol of the double-headed eagle

is Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions

o He is a MINGLING of two OPPOSITE faces, one

representing the past and the other the future

o Since he is the god of transition, he is associated with

doors, gates, and keys and is often depicted holding a

key

o The Romans believed Janus was the guardian of the

gates of heaven

Mystery, Babylon The Great

o The ROMAN Catholic Church preserved the concept of Janus through St. Peter

because they believe that Jesus made Peter the keeper of the gates of heaven based on a

gross misinterpretation of Matthew 16:19

o They also believe Peter was the first pope based on a gross misinterpretation of

Matthew 16:18, so the papal insignia includes the “keys of Peter” which are in fact the

“keys of Janus”

o The papal insignia is also another example of two opposite “pillars” (the keys) with a

third in the middle (the papal tiara)
