the Gods over the people.
The members of the “BROTHERHOOD OF THE SNAKE”
already wore the apron around 3400 B.C. to show their submission to the Gods who came
from heaven in “flying wheels”. It is doubtful that the lower grades of the different lodges
today know the initial use of the apron.
Before 1307 the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR – together with the KNIGHTS OF ST. JOHN
OF JERUSALEM and in part the TEUTONIC KNIGHTS (these two were originally charitable
orders) – were leading organizations behind the crusades against the Muslims. Although
these orders were inimical to each other, they fought together for Christianity.
It is no coincidence that there is vagueness about the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR and their
historical and occult background, for this uncertainty was established purposefully –
especially during the past 150 years.
The secret about the Templars would not be if it had
not been made to be by circles and powers who had and have an understandable interest –
from their point of view – to keep the truth in obscurity.
Thus it came to pass that the Templars shared a common destiny with their Lord
Jesus Christ: As the latter’s teachings had been perverted and reversed when the Old
Testament he had vehemently fought against was added to the Christian doctrine, so was
the spirit of the Order of the Templars also turned. In both cases the central point of the
falsification was the same.
In recent times several “neo-pseudo Templar orders” have
sprung up. Among these you certainly find people of good intent, but also charlatans and
servants of exactly that spirit the old Templars had fought. An amalgamation of the name
and spirit of the Templars with components of Freemasonry is utterly grotesque, yet it was
done (the Knights Templar degree in the York Rite).
Two very pious men stood at the outset of the Order of the Knights Templar: Hugues of
Payens and Geoffroy de St. Omer, a Frank and a Norman.
They collected a group of
friends spirited by a faith typical of the Middle Ages, a faith so powerful that we can hardly
imagine it today. Christmas 1117 this small circle decided to form a group for the protection
of pilgrims in Jerusalem. It was their only wish to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and the faith.
The group, now grown to nine knights, stood rather alone – they had no protection, nor
adequate funds.
Next spring the group went to Baldwin I, Latin king of Jerusalem, and to the patriarch.
Their
intent was lauded, and – after having lived in the “German House”, a hospital run by
Germans – they were soon given quarters on the ancient site of the Temple. And although
this earned them the name of KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, they always understood themselves to
be the BROTHERS OF THE TRUE TEMPLE OF CHRIST by which they meant to INNER
TEMPLE OF THE SOUL.
The history of the Templars would be quite different and probably rather unimportant had
they no discovered in the ruins of the Temple a rather remarkable find the Knights did not at
first know what to do with: These were remains of Hebrew writings, small scraps really, but
whose contents would soon become of utmost importance to the Templars and the Order’s
history from then on.
These scraps were sent to the erudite Etienne Harding who got them
translated. And this became the impetus for all that followed. The find proved to be
fragments of statements by Jewish eschaimin (spies) who, at the order of the priesthood,
reported on the actions of the “cursed mamzer (son of a whore) Jesus” and his “blasphemy
against the God of Israel”. And the contents of these reports conflicted absolutely with what
was commonly preached!
According to them, Jesus called the Hebrew god “JAHVEH” Satan and reproached the Jews
for having made the devil himself into their only god.
Traces of this can still be found in the
Gospel of John in the New Testament, where Jesus tells the Jews “You belong to your
father, the devil…” (John 8:44).
There had to have been an immense falsification of the
teachings of Christ!
