the Marcionites made the “Marcionite Cross” – the cross of thorns – the symbol of the
Templars!
In early Christian times the cross of thorns had been the symbol of the Marcionites; it was
the “Heretic’s Cross”.
It is said that the Evangelist John had fashioned a cross from thorns
for the Holy Mother Mary. Marcion then chose the red cross of thorns as a sign of pure
Christianity. To the initiate the Knights’ Cross, then is the symbol Marcion’s.
In later times
appeared the double cross of thorns of the Templars’ esoteric science.
At the same time the Templars’ battle cry “Vive Dieu Saint Amour!” (Long live God of Holy
Love) emerged to express the exclusive turning to Christ and the renunciation of the Old
Testament “god of revenge” image.
The majority of people both within and without the Order were of course not privy to the
underlying reasons of all this.
The time did not yet appear right; one was still awaiting
further irrefutable proof in documents of early Christianity. And such documents were
indeed found, although in very roundabout ways too complicated to retell here. Suffice it to
say that two Templars found a very old Marcionite cache in some ruins in Carthage.
They
were not there by accident, but following the trail of Marcion who had been there quite often.
They found not just scraps of the original writings of John and Matthew but also an old
Carthaginian faith and creation manuscript including the Greed translation probably by
Marcion himself. And in the manuscript, the “Ilu Aschera”, one could recognize the true
foundations of the teachings of Christ.
Of the “Templar revelation” from the year 1236 it is only important to mention that it heralds
a
bright realm in the “land of midnight” (Germany) the precursors of which should be the
select of the Knights Templar.
The revelation occurred when a female manifestation
appeared to two knights in a room of the old Carthage and gave them that very message.
Because of this vision, Berlin-Temple of (“temple court”) was founded as the Northern
capital of the “New Babylon”.
What creed, what attitude of mind and what view of the world did the Templars actually
represent?
The medieval Occident rested on three pillars: The Jewish-Christian religion, the finance
and trade economy based on the permission to ask for interest given in the Old Testament,
and the principle of an absolutist rule.
The Templars aimed at pulling those pillars down as
soon as time and their growing possibilities for action were right. So, the elimination of the
Jewish-Christian church and the establishment instead of an early Christian denomination
with the exclusion of all Old Testament components, resulting from this a revolutionary
change of the financial and economic system and a ban on interest, the abolition of the
absolutist monarchies and the establishment of an aristocratic-republican order. This of
course shows that the ruling powers had to seed to destroy the Templars.
After the fall of Jerusalem, which meant the final victory of the Muslims, the Knights of the
Order of St. John fled the Holy Land and in the following years lived on Mediterranean
islands whose names they used in their titles.
So they were first called the “KNIGHTS OF
RHODES”, then the “KNIGHTS OF MALTA”.
They became an amazing military and naval
force in the Mediterranean until they were defeated by Napoleon in 1789.
In 1834 their
headquarters had been transferred to Rome, and today they are known as the
“SOVEREIGN AND MILITARY ORDER OF MALTA” (SMOM) (the Maltese Cross).
Members are, among others, the deceased William Casey (Ex-Chief of the CIA 1981-87),
Alexander Haig (former U.S. Secretary of State), Lee Iacocca (Chairman of Chrysler Corp.),
James Buckley (Radio Free Europe), John McCone (CIA-Chief under Kennedy), Alexandre
de Marenches (Head of the French Secret Service) and Valerie Giscard d’Estaing (former
president of France).
Because they failed to save the Holy Land, the Knights Templar fell on difficult times.
Therefore, in 1307 they were persecuted by the Vatican at the instigation of Philippe IV (“Le
