Freemasonary and The Lost Tribes

Last week I finished reading Dan Brown's latest book The Lost Symbol. Unlike his other two books which were very contentious towards the Roman Catholic Church this one is most sympathetic to the Fraternity of the Freemasons, and Brown goes into some detail describing the connection between this group and Hebrew Bible although the connection is mostly described in symbolic terms. What I found most exciting was the fact that the "lost symbol" is, according to Brown, the Name of God as revealed in the Hebrew Bible. The novel ends with a drama of "light" and Brown plays on this symbolism suggesting the connection between the name of God and Light itself. Yesterday Keith Johnson came to do a teaching at my house on the name of God and explained that the phrase "let there be light" in Hebrew comes from the same root as His Name.

The Freemasons trace their history back to the Master Builder of the Second Temple Harem Abiff and his craftsmen whom I am assuming would have been Israelites. These craftsmen were later exiled and ended up in England where they used their craft to build the Gothic Cathedrals. Today there are 4 million Freemasons in the US and just a smattering in other European countries. I was also surprised to learn that Hitler sent many Freemasons to the concentrations camps due to their Hebrew connections.

Any thoughts?

Shalom Y'all I recently read an article about archeologist searching for things hidden at the second temple site under 20 stones placed by Joshua. In reference to copper or silver scroll, the 21 juglets of anointing oil (dates back to Moshe) and a chest containing Aarons robes for the office of High Priest . What a time these should be reveled? Is the sacrifice system going to be started up once more in our time. Jeremy was suppose to have hidden a scroll there I am amazed !!!!!

Dear Joanna:

Even in the first Temple, of King Solomon, the Tanach records that many of the craftsmen were non-Israelies, from allied nations llike Hiram's kingdom in present-day Lebanon.

I agree with Hezakiah's skepticism. None of the alleged "Lost Tribe" people of light skin have ever been found to have the Levite genetic marker. (Levites were spread among the tribes.) Even the black Lemba tribe of S. Africa had their Israelite oral tradition confirmed by science.

I admire the Freemasons who accept universal l brotherhood under God, rather than the "I am the way..." exclusivity of the religion that rhymes with insanity. Masonic lodges have, therefore, been receptive to Edenics videolectures that document how all humans speak a Pre-Babel form of Adam and Eve's Pre-Hebrew (Edenic). Some Protestant churches, but not one Catholic church, has hosted an Edenics event.

More on what Edenics is at www.edenics.org I have learned a bit about Hebrew in the last 2 dictionaries and 30 years of work. I have no clue, however, how אור OWR (light) has any relationship to any divine name. Please clue me in.
The reverse of אור OWR (light) is רואה RoWEH (to see). Without light there is no vision.

Thanks and blessing for your interesting post, Isaac

I thought the Freemasons came from what was left of the Knights Templar? If so, what culture did they come from?

I thought I read that digging was forbidden at the site. Isn't it the site where "The Dome of the Rock" is and isn't it the Muslims Mosque?

You have to be VERY careful about these connections.remember aklso that there were Master Builders & guilds called Masons in Ancient BABYLON that were of Magic & BAAL- which is the Real Roots of freemasonry & it is of LUCIFER.In 33rd Degree Masonry- many Non-Biblical Things are apparent-it's NOT Biblical? They are Connected with the One World Gov't at the UN & also their Symbols are in the Vatican- who heads the One World religion who are ALL vs Israel.The Vatican has made many recent statements vs Israel & its right to be in the Land that differs from Scripture.They now also believe in Aliens etc & contradict statements in the Bible that say that G-d is the Caretor of the Universe & that there is NO OTHER!

My research and own family lineage definately points that Jewish and Christians use Freemasonry to do good works together. I have not heard they are a place of worship, put a place to do G-d's will and be a force in the world. They do take a blood oathe and two masons must recommend for membership.Many say one of their mottos is "Freemasonry makes a good man better but cannot make a bad man good." But my quest for that knowledge is ongoing as I find that my Jewish great grandfather who fled Spain in 1931 was a Freemason. He also fought in the 4th regiment of WW II along side his brother and son. Puerto Rico has ALOT of synagogues! Particularly in Utuado.

There were Freemasons of Good Will- & it differs from Country to Country & Time Period.Some say that they were behind both the French & Amer Revolutions & were vs the Tyranny of the Greedy Monarchies in Europe that did NOT take care of the Poor or give them enough Rights.Again- the Lower Levels of Local Lodges are VERY DIFFERENT from the Very Top Secret Levels of 33 Degree Freemasonry- that is where- supposedly the Evil Things take place.

It's like Local Politics vs World Leaders at the UN-they are just every different Realms!

The Knights Templar- afterr reaching 33 degree Mason, one can now ascend to Knights Templar, Norwegian roots, monks who were self-sustaining who could kick butt! Christ's Army, then those pesky French again.......
