New World Order

I watched Decoding the Past on the History Channel, , “Secrets of the Dollar Bill”, the meanings behind the symbols and numbers on the U.S. dollar bill. I enjoyed the show; wondering at times if the folks interviewed could be considered seriously as they seemed a bit over the top in either their manner of dress or level of paranoia. The narration tended to lean toward a conspiracy to entwine cult or religious symbols into everyday money in such a way as to hide some dark plan that would eventually lead to a New World Order; no, I’m not making this up as I go.

One of the folks interviewed, Dr. Robert Hieronimus, was sitting behind a desk wearing an intense American flag shirt along with a biker style black leather vest; yup, that’s exactly what I’d have picked knowing I was being interviewed for a show to be seen by millions. Dr. Hieronimus is the author of Founding Fathers, Secret Societies. He went on to explain about both sides of the Great Seal used on our dollar bill; the front side with the eagle holding an olive branch with 13 leaves, 13 arrows and 13 stars forming a circle above the eagle and 13 stripes and bars. All those number 13’s may have had to do with the original 13 colonies; supposedly; change an octave lower as the music warns us not to be so sure, doubt is inserted and reference is made to Satan’s number.

The flip side of the Great Seal was talked about, the unfinished pyramid with the “all seeing eye” floating above and the inscriptions written in Latin. There was a sinister plot, something that shouldn’t be revealed, at least not to anyone who wasn’t in the elite circle of the founding fathers or the Masons. Quite a bit was mentioned about the Masons, mostly an inference that they must be evil and subversive because, as A. Ralph Epperson, author of, The New World Order, implied, the Masons claim that it’s not secret; it’s sacred. He comes right out and tells us, “I can’t go in to observe their secret meetings, you can’t go in, what’s the big secret?” or something close. “It must be evil”, the Masonic symbols are on our money, secret symbols that can only be understood by their members, is that not to be feared?

Somewhere in the program the idea was brought up that Free Masons were some kind of secret religion, not necessarily anti-Christian; but a religion that would bring about a New World Order. What kind of New World Order, was it a political union such as the EU is attempting, doing away with individual countries and their independent governments or was the New World Order more of a religious order, one that would precede the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? These speculative possibilities floated around but no concrete accusations were ever made, only implied as various rituals of Free Masonry were depicted; secret or sacred in nature can only be my guess. This is all one huge conspiracy, at least to hear them tell it, a plot hatched by our founding fathers; George Washington being one of the most visible Free Masons, with a full compliment of co-conspirator Masons picked as his inner circle.

So who were these evil men, the hidden cult of Masons that were going to infiltrate our society and hide diabolic symbols in our money to bring about a New World Order? George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, John Hancock, John Adams and possibly Thomas Jefferson; but no proof that Jefferson was a member has been substantiated. As soon as I saw that list of names I immediately thought of them as evil minded men intent on destroying the Christian values of this new nation.

The unfinished pyramid was talked about; the idea that it was a symbol for some kind of a temple where “secret” Masonic ordinances would be performed; oh yes, and that this temple would be a house for their God, the Great Architect of the Universe, their Creator to call home. I realize that they meant this in an unpleasant or even sinister way since the implication was that the Mason’s must have their own God, a different One than the rest of Christians here in America; however, being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I couldn’t help but think of how each of our temples is built and dedicated as a House of the Lord, a place where He can dwell here on earth. It is a place where sacred ordinances are performed, so sacred that details are not shared openly outside the walls of the temple. I can assure you, such sacredness should not be considered secret or sinister in any way; but I suppose anything not totally exposed to the public could be interpreted as sinister simply because it’s unknown and anything unknown must be evil.

The “all seeing eye” that floats above the unfinished pyramid was talked about, having many possible meanings, some of which could be Masonic or even Egyptian in origin. It was suggested that it represented the “yet to be finished” or the capstone that would lead to the New World Order. These symbols were created within six years, give or take, from our day of independence; well before the Book of Mormon was translated and given to the world as a Second Witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon is often called the “capstone” of our religion. I felt a buzzing in my head as all these ideas came bouncing through my thoughts.

Here’s what I have so far; all speculation mind you. The Masons might well have their sacred symbols etched on the dollar bill. The Masons might have been something like a John the Baptist for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; a huge jump if ever there was one, preparing a way before the Fullness of the Gospel would be restored. Instead of the New World Order being some kind of political system full of crooked elitists, could they be laying the foundation for the House of Order, a government that will have Jesus Christ at the head? Could all of the history of the American people be about making those events come to pass which would permit the freedom of religion, enough to permit the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, the building up of the Kingdom on earth, the building of holy temples where God’s children could be instructed and obtain those eternal ordinances promised? That’s quite a bit of speculation; but I’d prefer my questions to those who seek to alarm or discredit by virtue of the unknown, and we all know that what we don’t understand must be evil…

I’ve linked with Angel over at Woman Honor Thyself where she has Daydream Believers Open Trackback Weekend. This article just might fit with the topic, huh?
