William Cooper - Scarlet and the Beast Transcribed Part 3 of 5

THE HOUR OF THE TIME
Tape No. 459: "End Scarlet Begin Beast"
Wednesday, October 12, 1994

Ancient Mystery Babylon "sat on", or controlled, six historic world powers. Modern Mystery Babylon--English Freemasonry--"sat on", that is, funded and controlled, the seventh: Nazi Germany.

Likewise, English Freemasonry is today in control of the contemporary seven-nation Trilateral Commission. And there is a great propaganda campaign being waged across this country to make you believe that you are part of the promise of British Israel, so that you will help destroy freedom.

The Trilateral Commission is a third-generation offspring of English Freemasonry:

The first-generation offspring is the Round Table, created by Cecil Rhodes;

The second generation consists of the three Round Table Groups: the Council on Foreign Relations (or known as the CFR); the Royal Institute of International Affairs (or the RIIA), located in Chatham House, which is, ladies and gentlemen, the headquarters of British Intelligence, their private club, so to speak; and

The Institute of Pacific Relations, (or IPR).

From the Round Table Groups sprang the third generation in 1973 known as the Trilateral Commission, which was then given the task of implementing English Freemasonry's concept of one-world, idealism.

The "Tri" of Trilateral, of course, refers to three regions of the world: North America, Western Europe, and Japan. This division may also correlate with the three-part body of the Beast.

"Commission" bespeaks the function given the Trilateral Commission by English Freemasonry. Quote:

"...to foster closer cooperation among these three regions."

End quote. The nation members of the Trilateral Commission are the seven most potent industrial powers of the world: the United States of America, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan.

Membership also includes the heads of major oil companies, multi-national corporations, and international banks. Aristocrats and politicians are members as well, including our past President, George Bush.

Our current President, Bill Clinton, is a member of the Bilderbergers, which we know is a cover for English Freemasonry's Round Table. And as a Rhodes Scholar, Clinton is an Anglophile.

Since its founding, the Trilateral Commission has met annually to discuss solutions to common problems that hinder English Freemasonry's control and goal of controlling world government.

A few months following each annual meeting, the heads of state of the seven industrial powers hold a summit to work out a strategy for implementing these solutions, a strategy that often involves each nation's legislature.

Of course, the subversive lawmakers are Anglophile politicians, groomed by the Round Table Groups, to assure passage of any bill that would serve the special one-world interest of English Freemasonry. Indeed, John's "seven mountains" on which the "woman sitteth" appear to be the seven nation Trilateral Commission on which English Freemasonry "sitteth".

Lt. Col. James Bo Gritz is a 32nd Degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite.

Babylon was the dominant world power when Jeremiah prophesied. Some of his prophecies were pronounced and carried out upon the Babylon of his day. Others were directed at a future Babylon, which name describes an entity, not a literal city of Babylon. We should not, for instance, be looking for the literal city of Babylon in modern Iraq to be rebuilt to fulfill Jeremiah's end-time prophecy.

And remember, wherever you here "end-time" it translates "end of the age"; for the real word that is translated is "aeon" which means "age".

Jeremiah, Chapter 51, Verse 13 describes the location of the end-of-the-age, spiritual Babylon. Quote:

[Jeremiah 51:13:]

"O you who dwell by many waters, abundant in treasures, your end is come, the measure of your end." [not KJV]

End quote. Taken literally, this cannot mean modern Iraq since Iraq is not surrounded by many waters, nor abundant in treasures.

Great Britain, however, is abundant in treasures. She is also completely surrounded by many waters: the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the North Sea to the north and east, and the English Channel to the south.

In Verse 42, Jeremiah says, quote:

[Jeremiah 51:42:]

"The sea has come up over Babylon: she has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves." [not KJV]

End quote. Now, taken figuratively, "sea" means "peoples", as in Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 15, quote:

[Revelation 17:15:]

"...The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." [not KJV]

End quote. London boasts of having every nationality within its city limits. It is not really an English city, but an international city.

An interesting scripture concerning the Mother of Harlots is found in Revelation, Chapter 18, Verse 7. And it reads, quote:

[Revelation 18:7:]

"How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow."

End quote. Could this scripture signify the seat of Mystery Babylon as well as allude to an actual queen sitting on the modern Babylonian throne?

Consider, dear listeners, Queen Elizabeth II of England. As Head of State, she is Patroness of English Freemasonry and Head of the Church of England.

Her Consort, Prince Phillip, third Duke of Edinburgh, is a Freemason.

The Grand Master of the British Brotherhood is the Duke of Kent, the Queen's cousin.

In January 1983, the Queen and her Consort toured the United States. There seemed to be no apparent reason for her visit other than the honor bestowed on her by the Bohemian Club of California during the last evening of her stay. And it was quite an extravaganza.

The Bohemian Club is a west coast center for the inner elite of Templar Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the United States. Some of its members are Senator Allen Cranston; former FBI and CIA Director William Webster; former Secretaries of State George Schultz and Henry Kissinger; George Bush; and many, many others.

On February the 3rd, 1983, a five-minute segment of the Bohemian Club's extravaganza in honor of Queen Elizabeth was aired on all three television networks.

The event began with a view of the Queen sitting slightly high in the middle of the auditorium, as if on top a pyramid.

Two dancers entered the stage, wearing huge hats hanging from cable.

The cone of the first hat was representative of a walled city with a pyramid, or ziggurat, towering in the middle, reminding one of descriptions of ancient Babylon. Obviously, it portrayed ancient Babylon, as you will soon see.

At the base of the pyramid, two doors continuously flapped open and shut, displaying inside a large picture of Prince Charles--successor to the British throne--and his wife, Princess Diana.

As the dancer and hat moved stage right, the second dancer entered from stage left.

The cone on the second hat portrayed the city of London with Big Ben towering in the center.

When both dancers centered themselves with the brims of the huge hats reaching from one end of the stage to the other, a voice, as if out of the very air, bellowed, quote:

"Oh, Queen, you have traversed the ages from Babylon to London."

End quote. Ever so slightly, and without a smile, Queen Elizabeth nodded as if in agreement to the statement.

That night, the Bohemian Club, an arm of Templar Scottish Rite Freemasonry, acknowledged London as the seat of Mystery Babylon.

Queen Elizabeth accepted that acknowledgement.

If London is the city that the Apostle John saw in his vision, Queen Elizabeth's life and nation will be short-lived. For who knows better the headquarters of its rival than the ruthless French Knights Templar Scottish Rite of Freemasonry?

There will come a time--there WILL come a time--when God will no longer tolerate the sins of Mystery Babylon and will destroy her. Before that happens, however, God in His mercy, warns his people to sever their relationship with the Whore of Babylon.

In Revelation, Chapter 18, Verses 4 through 5, God warns, quote:

[Revelation 18:4, 5]

Verse 4: ...Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Verse 5: For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

End quote. Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 12 through 18; and all of Revelation 18 record the end of the age destruction of Mystery Babylon. This--this--absolutely horrible description says that it will be so rapid and complete that it can only be accomplished by modern nuclear weaponry.

Revelation, Chapter 18, Verses 10 and 11, describes the financial depression that this destruction will bring upon the whole earth. Quote:

[Revelation 18:10, 11]

Verse 10b: ...saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Verse 11: And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more.

End quote. The headquarters of Mystery Babylon cannot, dear listeners, be Rome. It should be obvious that if Rome were obliterated by a nuclear bomb today, the world economic system would not suffer.

Conversely, if London, the financial capital of the world, were likewise destroyed, the world economic system would suddenly halt, collapse, as indicated in the scripture.

English Freemasonry is the Mother of Harlots.

London is Mystery Babylon.

Ground Zero is at 10 Duke Street, St. James, London, England, SW1: the 33rd Degree Supreme Council Headquarters of English Freemasonry.

Now, you know the identity of the Queen of Babylon, and you know the identity of Mystery Babylon. And now there is no excuse for not coming out of her, as you were admonished to do in the book that you all claim cannot lie.

In Isaiah, Chapter 28, Verses 15 through 18, I quote:

[Isaiah 28:15:]

"...We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.

Isaiah also says, and I quote:

[Isaiah 28:17, 18]

Verse 17: Judgment also will I lay to the [measuring] line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

Verse 18a: And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand;....

End quote. George Bush was a member of what is known as the Brotherhood of Death, also known as the Russell Trust.

"Hell" in the Bible literally means "grave" or "crypt".

He took his initiation in the crypt at Yale University. The symbol of the Knights Templar is the Skull and Bones, which is also the symbol of the Brotherhood of Death, or the Russell Trust. It is also a prominent symbol in Freemasonry. Also, in the Rosy Cross, the Knights of Pythias, and many others. Many, many others.

It is time, it is time, ladies and gentlemen, to mature. You now know the identity of Mystery Babylon and now I will begin the revelation of the identity of the Beast.

[Revelation 17:10-13]

Verse 10: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Verse 11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Verse 12: And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Verse 13: These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

[Revelation 17:16b:]

"...these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate...."

Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 9 through 13, and Verse 16. I would remind you that a good portion of this broadcast comes from a book entitled "Scarlet and the Beast", my own research, the research of the members of CAJI, and the Intelligence Service.

Now, folks, scripture sometimes expresses the Beast as a nation and at other times as a person. As a person, the Beast is so integrated with his empire that Beast and empire become one.

In our search for the Beast, whether man or empire, it is significant to understand that scripture teaches that the Beast will sign a treaty with Israel, guaranteeing her seven years of peace. With that guarantee, the Jews will accept the Beast as messiah because they, as the rest of the world, will be deceived.

It is worthwhile to recall again the statement made by Arthur Crawford, Pastor and Bible teacher from Riverside Bible Church in Columbus, Ohio on the who or what of the Beast-messiah: Two rabbis have suggested that as far as they are concerned, messiah could be a set of nations, a world power, that guaranteed their integrity, an individual, or organization. They don't really care. Any of those, according to the rabbis, would meet the biblical prophecies of messiah.

In our search for the Beast, we are looking only for the empire, and not the man. We learned in the previous chapter that the seven heads of the Beast are historic world powers, Nazi Germany being the seventh.

Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 11, states that the eighth is the Beast empire.

In Daniel, Chapter 7, Verse 7, the prophet says that this Beast is different from all the beasts that were before it.

In Daniel, Chapter 11, Verses 36 through 39, the prophet explains how the end-time Beast shall differ from all other previous gods, tyrants, and evil-doers. Listen carefully, quote:

[Daniel 11:36-39]

Verse 36: And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

Verse 37a: Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god:....

Verse 38: [For] in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

Verse 39a: Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory:....

End quote. That the Beast disregards traditional gods suggests that he will take his government out from under the mystic control of the Whore of Babylon, which is English Freemasonry. He will replace the traditional gods with a strange god called "the God of forces" whom he increases with glory.

What does the prophet Daniel mean by the phrase, "the God of forces"?

The Hebrew word for "forces" literally means "fortified place", "fortress", or "strength". Figuratively, it means "defense".

The word "strange" means "to respect".

The Beast will increase this god with glory.

The word "increase" means "to build up"; and the word "glory" means "riches".

Now, with these definitions in mind, let us interpret the passage as follows:

Daniel is revealing that the god of the end-of-the-age Beast will be an awesome defense force that the world respects, a defense force that is built up with riches.

We know that today's military armament is promoted as defense, and that ironically, military budgets are called "defense budgets".

Revelation, Chapter 13, Verse 4, confirms the awesome defense capability of the Beast, quote:

[Revelation 13:4b:]

"...Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

End quote. Confirmation that we are living in the days prophesied by John and Daniel is also found in the world's monetary outlay on armament.

You see, on June 10, 1991, Reuters News Syndicate reported in newspapers across our nation that during the decade of the 1980s, global spending on arms approached $1 trillion dollars.

"In 1990 alone,"

says Reuters,

"world spending on the military was about $900 billion. This amounts to spending almost $2 million a minute on war and the weapons of war--an unprecedented amount in the annals of history."

And Reuters was not talking about, nor was it taking into consideration, arms bought by individual citizens.

Scripture indicates that the Beast will rely upon military might to gain and maintain power.

We have, in the course of these broadcasts, seen how all French Masonic-backed revolutions have used military might, violence, and terror to achieve their ends. Remember the "Reign of Terror" in France, when the streets literally ran with blood as the heads were lopped off, minute after minute, hour after hour, day by day, week after week, and month after month? The guillotines never rested.

We can conclude that the Beast will be a nation that, with the help of French Freemasonry, will cast out, by revolution, the horn of a monarchy and form a new nation. When this new nation matures, it will become a mighty nation with an awesome defense force--a nation, ladies and gentlemen, that will, with one exception, have the same characteristics of ancient Rome.

The exception?

The Beast will not follow the Mystery Babylonian religion of English Freemasonry, but will instead follow the atheist, humanist tradition of French Freemasonry: secular humanism--whereupon, man will declare himself as God.

The allegiance of the Beast to French Freemasonry is confirmed in scripture. You may recall that French Freemasonry declared in 1877 that there is no God. It proclaimed its secular humanism in the motto, quote:

"To the glory of humanity".

End quote. Likewise, the Beast regards no god, and like French Freemasonry which made a god of humanity, the Beast then exalts himself and magnifies himself above every god, thus fulfilling scriptures.

Is there further scriptural evidence to support this interpretation of the nature of the Beast? Dr. Alfred Rarewinkle in his book entitled "The Flood", published in 1952, says that Jesus prophesied an end-of-the-age world of atheist humanists. Listen carefully.

In Matthew, Chapter 24, Verse 37, Christ tells his disciples that the last days will be as it was in the days of Noah. Rarewinkle says that, quote:

"The generation before the Flood was not a pagan or idolatrous race."

End quote. He says they were "godless".

Godless!

Rarewinkle points to archeological evidence which supports scripture and his thesis, quoting Sir Charles Leonard Wooley, a British archeologist who has noted, quote:

"In no single grave has there been any figure of a god, any symbol or ornament that strikes one as being of a religious nature."

End quote. The Old Testament offers further insight into the atheistic, amoral humanism of the Beast and his antediluvian precursors, known as "the Atlantians". Genesis, Chapter 6, Verse 4, informs us what antediluvian humanity was like. Quote:

[Genesis 6:4:]

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

End quote. Rarewinkle unravels the enigmas of this passage from Genesis and applies it to the atheistic humanists of our day and world. Quote:

"The Hebrew word 'nephilim' means more than what we understand by the term 'giant'. It means 'those that fall upon others, brigands, thugs, tyrants'.

"These 'nephilim' were famous in that world. They had made a great name for themselves through their acts of violence, lawlessness, and corruption. They were known by all and their statues were probably found in the antediluvian shrines of honor.

"There are 'nephilim'--or 'giants'--in the world today. They are the men who rule this world. They hold their councils in secret. They dispose of countries and millions of human beings as so many figures on a chess board. They confiscate property that does not belong to them, and condemn millions of innocent people to a horrible death of misery and starvation. They blot out whole cities of men, women, and children, with hell-borne missiles of death; but they are applauded as great men and renowned, and their portraits and statues are given a place of honor in the halls of fame in our world today."

End quote. Rarewinkle suggests that the sons of God were not supernational beings, but powerful men who considered themselves as gods--exactly as it was stated in the Garden of Eden: a humanistic philosophy which follows atheism.

Likewise, we see that Daniel's Beast is atheistic because he regards no god.

The Beast reveals his humanist face when he declares himself as god.

If the Beast/god rises out of French Freemasonry, it is understandable why, according to Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 16, he will destroy his competitor, English Freemasonry, which believes in MANY gods.

The Apostle John also suggests that the Beast kingdom will come out of French Freemasonry, and in Revelation, Chapter 13, Verse 1, he saw the Beast, quote:

[Revelation 13:1b:]

"...rise up out of the sea,...."

End quote. Now the sea, remember, is a figure of speech for the mass of people upon the earth. As Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 15, explains, quote:

[Revelation 17:15:]

"...the waters which thou sawest,...are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."

End quote. The French Masonic revolutions sprang from the grass-roots of mass movements, and these movements then created democratic republics run by the people and for the people.

Unlike English Freemasonry, which wants a world government run by an elite aristocracy, French Freemasonry is working feverishly toward a universal, democratic republic run by the people.

If the Beast arises out of French Freemasonry, naturally the Beast's empire will be a democratic republic, as was ancient Rome.

And that is why I caution you on this broadcast that there is no patriot organization. The leaders of both sides are controlling this clash. And it really makes no difference which sides wins: one, you will be under the aristocratic control of English Freemasonry; the other you will be under the socialistic communistic control of French Freemasonry.

Most of the leaders in the patriot movement belong to the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, which are the Templars of France.

You had better wake up, ladies and gentlemen. You are being manipulated beyond manipulation and you haven't got the basis in education or understanding to even know which way the tide is flowing.

It is my belief that humanity must mature. Each individual must stop following leaders and movements; but must follow the truth. Seek ye the truth "...and the truth shall make you free." [John 8:32b.]

And that should be the prime--the prime--the prime order of the day. It is the only order around here. The only order around here.

Clarence Larkin, in "The Book of Revelation", 1919, pictures the Beast as having seven heads with ten crowned horns on the seventh head. At first, reading this would appear to be the description in Revelation, Chapter 13, Verse 1:

[Revelation 13:1a:]

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns...."

Revelation, however, does not specifically state that the ten horns are on the seventh head. Which head the crowned horns are upon is a matter of interpretation.

It could be, dear listeners, that the ten horns are actually the eighth head in Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 10 through 11, quote:

[Revelation 17:10, 11]

Verse 10: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other [the seventh] is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Verse 11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,....

End quote. In Revelation, Chapter 13, Verse 3, we learned that one of the Beast's heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed.

By interpreting the wounded and healed heads in this passage as the seventh and eighth heads in Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 11, Larkin pictures the two as being one. He does this by changing the word "seven" to "seventh". He writes, quote:

"Even he is the eighth and is of the seventh."

End quote. Since he was writing in 1919, Larkin's interpretation is understandable. He wrote before the rise of Nazi Germany, the seventh head. Larkin agrees with scripture that the Beast is the eighth head, but it is a matter of interpretation whether the Beast actually came out of the seventh head or out of one of the seven.

Since 1919, we have been given almost three-quarters of a century of history to be illumined by Bible prophecy. We can hold this history up to scripture and see what, from these years, is a possible fulfillment of prophecy.

And I would caution you, as I have always done: you must understand what is fulfillment of prophecy, and what is fulfillment by man.

We can now see that the eighth head is not of the seventh, for John describes his visions of the eighth head as if he himself were contemporary with the end of the age. "And the beast that was, and is not...."

Let me read it another way, and I'm going to insert some meaning so that you'll understand what I'm reading. Quote:

[Revelation 17:11a:]

"And the beast that was,..."

[meaning the sixth head of old Rome]

"...and is not,..."

[which means the slain head, or demise of old Rome]

"...even he is the eighth,...."

[which is the healed head, or revived Rome].

Notice that John skips the seventh head, which we believe is Nazi Germany.

Our hypothesis is that the ten crowns, or ten kings, are on the eighth head, and this understanding is further strengthened by Verse 12, where it is written that the Beast gives power to the ten kings; and by Verse 13, where we are told these ten kings have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the Beast, which is the eighth head.

Who, or what, are the ten crowns, or kings, that will adorn the head of the Beast?

Well, prophecy scholars believe that the ten kings in Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 12, will be ten of the twelve member nations which make up he European Economic Community, known as the EEC, or European Common Market, or United States of Europe.

These scholars view the Common Market as the revived Roman empire, since the Common Market encompasses the western territory of the old Roman empire. They believe the EEC is the embryo of the Beast, the eighth world power recorded by John.

Grand Orient Freemasonry was the force behind the Treaty of Rome, which formed the EEC in 1957.

Every single President of the EEC has since been a Grand Orient Mason.

It's current head is France's President, Francois Mitterand--at the time, the most powerful 33rd Degree Grand Orient Mason in Europe.

In 1957, the original signatories of the Treaty of Rome were six nations: France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Their intent is to eventually unite Europe--a desire of French Freemasonry as far back as Napoleon Bonaparte. And that emerged again in 1848 when the Grand Orient first mentioned, by name, the idea of inaugurating the United States of Europe.

Dr. Walter Halstein , 33rd Degree Grand Orient Mason and past President of the EEC, detailed the vision of a united Europe in a speech in the 1960s when he said this, quote:

"Three phases of the European unification are to be noted: first, the customs union; second the economic union, third the political union. What we have created on the way to uniting Europe is a mighty economic, political union, of which nothing may be sacrificed for any reason. It's value exists not only in what it is, but more in what it promises to become. We may fully expect the great fusion of all economic, military, and political communities together into the United States and Europe."

Charles de Gaulle, President of France from 1958 to 1969, used the EEC as an instrument in the service of French interests.

Attempting once in 1963 to unite Europe under its banner with France the leader, de Gaulle failed when opposed by West Germany. De Gaulle did, however, successfully oppose in 1958 and 1963 two attempts by Great Britain to join the EEC.

For economic survival, London organized in 1959 the seven nation European Free Trade Association (or EFTA) with Austria, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, and Iceland. The purpose of the EFTA was to reduce tariffs on imports received from other member countries.

As described in Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 9, this combination of seven nations should be considered the Whore of Babylon--English Freemasonry--sitting on seven heads.

The EFTA, however, ceased operation when England, Denmark, and Ireland were allowed to join the European Common Market in 1973--the very same year that the seven nation Trilateral Commission reared its ugly head and was founded by the Anglophile Council on Foreign Relations under British Freemasonry.

In 1981, Greece joined the Common Market, increasing the total to ten.

Bible prophecy scholars were ecstatic. I don't know why. It signifies great suffering. This joy evinced by some is sickening to me.

But since that time, Spain and Portugal have joined.

The EEC, however, is still considered by scholars as part of the future revived Roman empire, which entity--if this interpretation is correct--will, in God's time, consist of ten nations.

The EEC inaugurated the United States of Europe (or the USE) on December 31st, 1992, seven years to the day of the year 2000. Ten of the twelve nations voted to accept the Eurodollar as common currency. The two holdouts were England and Ireland.

In July 1993, both nations voted to accept the European currency although there are still twelve nations in the EEC. When the Beast burns London, Ireland will fall, too. And there will be ten nations.

Good night, ladies and gentlemen. And God bless you all. We will continue this tomorrow night, and every other night as long as it takes. And we will absolutely pinpoint and identify the Beast.

William Cooper - Scarlet and the Beast Transcribed Part 2 of 5

THE HOUR OF THE TIME
Tape No. 458: "Identity of Scarlet No. 2"
Tuesday, October 11, 1994

Tonight, folks, we're going to continue with the identity of Mystery Babylon. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish that tonight. If I do, we'll begin tomorrow night with the identity of the Beast. Stay tuned.

We know from Masonic sources, from their own writings, ladies and gentlemen, that Freemasonry deceives its own initiates. There is, however, a much broader deception, announced in Revelation, Chapter 18, Verse 23. Quote:

[Revelation 18:23:]

"...by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

End quote. Let me say that one more time.

[Revelation 18:23:]

"...by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

This verse unveils Mystery Babylon's control of the manufacturing and trafficking of illegal drugs world-wide.

I can see you out there shaking your heads: "Cooper's lost it. He's crazy. How could he possibly get that meaning out of that verse?"

[Revelation 18:23:]

"...by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

It's very simple, folks. Four Greek words--four Greek words--are used to define sorceries as used in the scripture that I just read. They are:

(1) "Pharmakeia" meaning magic, medication, and the practice of witchcraft;

(2) "Pharmakeus" and "Pharmakon" meaning a magician or sorcerer who manufactures and sells spell-giving potions; and

(3) "Pharmakos" having the same meaning as "pharmakon".

In no other place in the entire Bible, except in reference to Mystery Babylon are these Greek words for "sorcery" used in the sense they are here, to indicate the manufacture, sale, and consumption of drugs. From them, come our English form of "pharmacist", "pharmacy", and "pharmaceutical".

Does that blow your mind?

We have already outlined the tradition and history of sorcery and drug use in both Freemasonries in previous episodes of "The Hour of the Time".

We suggested the extent of English Freemasonry's post-World War II drug empire.

And we have traced the Whore of Babylon's universal control of growing, manufacturing, distributing, and financing illegal drugs for the express purpose of deceiving the world into accepting her New Age Antichrist.

English Freemasonry's involvement with illicit drugs may be the strongest evidence that today London is home for Mystery Babylon.

Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 4 through 5, exposes the perfidy of Scarlet's character. She is not only a harlot religion, but the Mother--on the street, "the muthah", if you will--the firstborn of Babylon and progenitor of all false religions. Therefore, she is called Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots.

As we have revealed, English Freemasonry--the Mother of all Freemasonry--claims from her own writings, from her own mouth, her roots in ancient Babylon. With over 9,000 Temple Lodges scattered throughout most nations of the world, and with over 7,000 in Great Britain alone, including 1,700 in London, English Freemasonry is the largest harlot religion on earth today.

Moreover, this modern Whore of Babylon has given birth to hundreds of modern secret societies, cults, think tanks, and a variety of political orders.

Edith Miller, in her book entitled, "Occult Theocracy", published in 1933, names many of the offspring of English Freemasonry. And I'm going to give you the names of some of these.

And I want you to remember, folks, that last night's broadcast and tonight's broadcast comes, a good part, from a book entitled, "Scarlet and the Beast"--"Scarlet and the Beast" by John Daniel. It is a history of the war between English and French Freemasonry; and of course, from my own research, from my series on Mystery Babylon, from our library here at the Research Center.

Now, back to the list of the major offspring of English Freemasonry in the different major nations of the world.

In England:

the Societas Rosecruciana in Anglia;
the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis;
the Theosophical Society;
the Order of the Golden Dawn;
Stella Matutina ;
the Fabian Society;
the Round Table Groups; and many others.

In Germany:

the Illuminati;
the Strict Observance;
the Martinist Order;
the Tugendbunds ;
the Anthroposophical Society;
the Ordo Templae Orientalis--called the OTO; and
the Thule Society.

In France:

the Scottish Rite;
the French Grand Lodge;
Grand Orients;
Jacobins;
Communism;
Socialism;
Alliance Israelite Universal;
the League of Nations;
the European Economic Community; and
the United States of Europe.

In Italy:

the Carbinieri;
the Young Societies;
the Propaganda Duo--also known as P2,
the drug running lodges; and of course,
the Mafia.

And that accounts for the cooperation between the Mafia and the secret society-run intelligence community in the United States of America and in other countries.

In Russia:

the Nihilists;
the Anarchists; and
the Soviet Union.

In Moslem countries they are known as the Moslem Brotherhood.

In America:

the Scottish Rite;
the York Rite;
the Eastern Star;
the Shriners;
Odd Fellows;
Mormons;
Jehovah's Witnesses;
Christian Science;
B'nai B'rith;
the Ku Klux Klan;
the Lucis Trust;
the OTO--which is Ordo Templae Orientalis;
the Process Church;
the Church of Scientology;
the National Council of Churches;
the Council on Foreign Relations;
the Trilateral Commission;
the United Nations; and
their spawn, the New Age Movement.

Grand Orient Freemason, Brother J. C. Corneloup, Grand Commander of Honor of the Grand College of Rites, confirms in his writing called, "Universalism of French Freemasonry", published in 1963, that English Freemasonry claims motherhood to all Freemasonry. And this is what he says. Quote:

"The bitterness between the two Freemasonries clearly reveals that London considered that it was the Mother Grand Lodge, and that all the others were subsidiaries whom it wanted to keep in its dependence--the sign of a strong desire to set up universality to its exclusive profit.

"Two hundred years after this struggle broke out, we still find as lively a spirit of hostility--though couched in less truculent terms--on the part of the Grand Lodge of England with regard to French Masonry, apparently concentrated against the Grand Orient of France, but equally apparent against the Grand Lodge of France.

"The fact is that we are confronted with two organizations sprung from the same stock: operative Masonry and, palpably born at the same time--mid-1600s--and in the same country, England, but which have evolved differently because one developed in powerful middle class, intellectual, and aristocratic surroundings--that's English Freemasonry--and the other in a much more democratic climate amongst the common man--French Freemasonry. Therefore, the United Grand Lodge of England could go on and celebrate the universality of Freemasonry. It could even, priding itself on being the Mother Lodge from which all others have sprung, claim to put this universality into practice to its own profit, with the right to dominate the whole of Masonry.

"In 1929, the United Grand Lodge of England took a step of capital importance by publishing its 'Fundamental Principles for the Recognition of Grand Lodges'. London claims the right to lay down Masonic law. The United Grand Lodge of England claims to dominate the Masonic world, to be the Sovereign Judge of the authenticity of the different Masonic powers, and to impose its law upon them, confident in its powers of intimidation which it has skillfully cultivated. And owing to the pusillanimous ignorance of the leaders of the different obediences who are afraid of the least suggestion of a rupture, it arbitrarily fixes the criterion for regularity in such a way that it can always, in the last resort, make a decision according to its sole good pleasure.

"But what is their aim, or rather, their dream? They want to make the Mother Grand Lodge the Unique Sovereign Authority over the whole of Masonry throughout the world--in order to condemn every group suspected of being able to overshadow it, to qualify every independence obedience as irregular and schismatic, and above all, to destroy--or at the very least--to isolate enemy number one: the Grand Orient of France, which for 190 years has been regarded as a dangerous rival."

End quote. Now, the remainder of this broadcast will examine the various attributes of this Mother Grand Lodge, Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots, as enumerated in the Bible, and relate them to what we know of modern-day English Freemasonry, its heresies, machinations, wealth, and centers of operation.

Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 2 says, and I quote:

[Revelation 17:2b:]

"...the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."

End quote. As we have learned, the modern, New Age Movement began in English Freemasonry's most secret Masonic Lodge, the Quatour Coronati Lodge of Masonic Research. By investigating eastern mysticism, the Quatour Coronati discovered that the religion of English Freemasonry is identical to that of Nimrod's Babylon, including the use of drugs, the practice of free sex, and human sacrifice. Today, English Grand Lodge is intoxicating the earth with this idolatry.

In Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 2 through 4, quote:

[Revelation 17:2a, 4b]

Verse 2a: ...the kings of the earth have committed fornication,....

Verse 4b: ...a golden cup in her hand....

End quote. The protector, ladies and gentlemen of the Priori of Sion's Merovingian kings is aristocratic English Freemasonry who may be in possession of the golden grail cup IF you believe that there is such a cup running around in secret.

Reverend Church relates the legend which places the grail cup in England. I've already revealed to you what it really means in the histories of the people who lived in that area, the Celts, the Anglo, and all of the other ancient tribal affiliations.

You see, the Holy Grail was never mentioned in history until around the year 1100 A.D. Coincidentally, that's the same century that the Priori de Sion was founded, the Knights Templar were founded, and all of this mysticism about Mary Magdalene, the Holy Grail, King Arthur, the Fisher King, and all of the other Grail legends arose. Prior to that time, there was no mention ever in history of the Holy Grail, or of the cup that Christ drank out of at the Last Supper having any special or magical qualities whatsoever.

And of course, if you really believe that the words spoken by Christ are true, and if you really believe that the Bible is telling you the truth, then you are not to deal in magical things anyway, are you?

According to Reverend Church, ladies and gentlemen, he says this, quote:

"According to the Priori of Sion legend, Joseph of Arimathaea took the cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper and brought it to the cross at Calvary. When Gaius Casius, a Roman centurion, took his spear and pierced the side of Christ, Joseph of Arimathaea caught his blood in the golden cup. The cup has now come to be known as the Holy Grail. In the years that followed, Joseph of Arimathaea was said to have taken the holy cup to England where he and his offspring became the guardians of the grail."

End quote. Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 4 says, "...a golden cup...full of abominations and filthiness...." End quote.

Reverend Church elaborates on something even more blasphemous than the Holy Grail legend. And pay very close attention. Quote:

"Now take a deep breath and consider what I believe to be the greatest heresy of history: the so-called Guardians of the Grail have made the cup to become symbolic of another vessel, which supposedly contained and preserved the bloodline of Christ, namely the body--or perhaps I should say, the womb--of Mary Magdalene. This age-old worship of the Magdalene appears to be the result of an esoteric mystery religion which I believe is described in Revelation 17 as 'MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT....'."

End quote. This belief is somehow connected to the Black Madonnas found all over Europe--not as many as there used to be, grant you, but still there in quantity.

If the Harlot's cup resides in England and is protected there as Reverend Church suggests in his previous comment, he connects Mystery Babylon to English Freemasonry. Albeit indirectly, Reverend Church is, of course, referring to the Priori of Sion in his statement "...an esoteric mystery religion....".

We know, however, that Sion founded English Freemasonry. We also know, that from Sion sprang the Templars who brought the mystery religions from the Middle East to Europe. We also know that Mystery Babylon is the union of church and state.

British journalist Stephen Knight connects Mystery Babylon to the Anglican Church when he confirms that the Church of England has been a stronghold of Freemasonry for more than 200 years. The Church of England is a State Church; in fact, the only remaining State Church in the West. And as we have seen, the British monarch is head of both the Church and Freemasonry.

The American equivalent of the Anglican Church is the Episcopal Church, the church that George Bush attended. The influence of the harlot in the Episcopal Church is revealed by a telling event reported by Reverend Church.

In May 1984, a four-foot bronze statue of the crucifixion was unveiled at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan. The figure on the cross was that of a naked woman, complete with undraped breasts, and rounded hips, and the other paraphernalia which we will not mention on the air. This work of art which....

By the way, ladies, just in case you should be offended by that, it's not because your body is offensive to me, it's because of the rules by which radio is governed. What is offensive is the body of Christ was represented as a naked woman.

This work of art, which blasphemes the figure of our crucified savior, was created a sculptress Edwina Sandies, grand-daughter of the most famous English Freemason of our day, Winston Churchill. It was sculpted in honor of the Masonic-created, United Nations Decade for Women.

The Bishop who presides over the Cathedral of St. John the Divine is English Freemason, Bishop Moore. In Chapter 16, we learned that Moore, who has turned the Cathedral into a Babylonian temple, is a member of the Lucis Trust, formerly known as the Lucifer Publishing Company.

Reverend Church reports how deeply these former Christians have drunk from the cup of Babylonian religion, and I quote, listen carefully:

"The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is a center for New Age Movement activity. It appears to be yet another symbol in which I call the Myth of Mary Magdalene. James Parks Morton, who is the Cathedral Dean, organized the display of the woman on the cross and said that it sends a positive message to women. He and his followers thought it reflected a mystic Christian view that sees Christ as our mother."

End quote. And he goes on to say:

"It is the same pagan concept that promotes Mary Magdalene as the wife of Jesus and vessel bearing the bloodline of Christ."

And from this bloodline--I have informed you in past broadcasts--that he who will sit upon the throne of the world will come.

"In an esoteric sense, the womb of Mary Magdalene becomes the grail, preserving the bloodline or lineage of Jesus, her offspring supposedly married into the royal family of the Franks, eventually producing a king to sit upon the throne, Merove, from whom has come the so-called sacred Merovingian bloodline."

End quote. For reference to this, I would refer you to the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the Messianic Legacy" by Lincoln Baigent, and I forgot the other author coming off the top of my head here.

All Christians today, folks, are under assault. In fact, all Christians will soon be a persecuted minority, and the Temples of Babylon--like the Cathedral of St. John the Divine--will lead the charge. Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 4 says, quote:

[Revelation 17:4:]

"...[she is] decked with gold...precious stones and pearls...."

End quote. The wealth of modern Mystery Babylon is surpassed only by the previous wealth of King Solomon.

Is it possible that Scarlet's wealth came from the ancient treasury of Solomon?

Was Solomon even real? There is no proof that he ever lived.

Was David even real? There's no proof that he ever lived either. But, the Bible says the value of Solomon's wealth is recorded and you can find out in I Kings, Chapters 10 and 11, and II Chronicles 9. Using today's value of gold, according to these verses, Solomon's treasury would be worth approximately $14 billion--that's with a "B", spelled B-I-L-L-I-O-N--$14 billion dollars--and that's a conservative estimate.

History makes no mention of what happened to this treasury after the many plunders of Israel following her Babylonian captivity.

Not until the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the caves of Qumran after World War II did the world realize that Solomon's wealth might still be intact, for there is a particular scroll which describes a great treasure and tells where it is buried if you can decipher the location.

The Dead Sea Scrolls were, of course, deciphered at Manchester University in 1955 and '56, or at least part of them were. One scroll makes explicit reference to great quantities of bullion, sacred vessels, additional unspecified material, and treasure of an indeterminate kind. It cites 24 different hoards buried beneath Solomon's Temple itself.

But if you believe the legends of the Templars, the Templars have already found that treasure and have taken it for their own.

The authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" believe that during the Crusades, the Knights Templar discovered Solomon's treasure and carried it to southern France.

Following the 14th century inquisitions of the Templars by the Priori of Sion, kings, and popes, the wealth apparently came into the possession of Sion; and some of it--if not all--may have been taken to England, or possibly to Switzerland, the strong box for the Merovingian kings.

At any rate, dear listeners, the Priori of Sion pretends to know the whereabouts of this legendary treasure.

In 1981, the authors of "The Messianic Legacy" questioned Pierre Plantart, Grand Master of the Priori of Sion, about the lost temple treasury. His reply indicated possession; and I quote:

"It will be returned to Israel when the time is right."

End quote. In my book, "Behold A Pale Horse", according to my sources in the intelligence community, this is the truth.

Now, two years following Plantart's remark, English Freemasonry was implicated in an attempt to located the Holy of Holies beneath the Temple Mount at Jerusalem. The exposure began on Sunday, February 27th, 1983 by United Press International, Washington. Articles across the nation screamed headlines, quote:

"Israeli Scholar Claims Temple Discovery."

End quote. Now, supposedly, Dr. Asher Kauffman, a professor of physics at Hebrew University for 15 years, had been tunneling beneath the Temple Mount to locate the Holy of Holies. He claims to have found it, 330-feet north of the Dome of the Rock. On November 5th, 1984, "Newsweek" confirmed that the backer for Kauffman's dig was the Temple Mount Foundation.

Eighteen months earlier, on April 26th, 1983, the "Executive Intelligence Review" in a special report reported, and I quote,

"The Jerusalem Temple Mount Foundation was established for one objective, to rebuild the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. It was set up and its objective defined on the recommendation of Freemasonic circles in England, the monarchist's Freemasonic Lodges; in particular, the Quatour Coronati Lodge."

End quote. ...have arranged the alliance. Don't go away. I'll be right back.

If this venture to rebuild the Temple upon the Mount matures, the implications, ladies and gentlemen, are more than enormous.

Daniel, Chapter 9, Verse 27; and Chapter 11, Verse 31; and Chapter 12, Verse 11; and Matthew 24, Verse 15, all indicate that the Third Temple must be built before the middle of the tribulation so that the Beast can set up his image in the Holy of Holies.

You see, you're all saying that Christ is going to appear any moment. He can't appear. Nothing can happen until the Temple is rebuilt, and I've been trying to tell you this over and over and over again. Stop listening to the deceivers behind your pulpits. They're not telling you the truth.

The orthodox Jews, believe, however, that the Third Temple will be built by the Messiah. If so, their Messiah cannot be Jesus Christ, for the Third Temple, the Tribulation Temple, must be built before the Jews recognize Christ as Messiah.

According to Zechariah, Chapter 13, Verses 8 and 9; and Chapter 14, Verses 1 through 9, the Jews will not accept the Savior in that capacity until the end of the tribulation. Therefore, the Messiah of the Jews who will build the Tribulation Temple, according to the New Testament, will be a false messiah. It can be no other way. According to the Old Testament, he will be a false messiah. It can be no other way.

Isaiah, Chapter 28, Verses 15 through 18, when compared with Daniel, Chapter 9, Verse 27, appears to confirm that the Jews will accept the Antichrist, or the Apocalyptic Beast, as the Messiah.

Oddly, Isaiah's descriptive terminology of the Beast is suggestive of Freemasonry, to which the Jews will apparently attach themselves by treaty in the last days. Quote:

[Isaiah 28:15:]

"...We have made a covenant with death..."

says Isaiah:

Verse 15: ...and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.

End quote. Nothing, no sentence, no group of words on this earth, could more better describe Freemasonry than what I have just read to you.

God's judgment against Freemasonry is also pronounced by Isaiah in carpenters' terminology. Quote:

[Isaiah 28:17, 18a]

Verse 17: Judgement also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the water shall overflow the hiding place.

Verse 18a: And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand:....

End quote. When we recall that the Apocalyptic Beast is given the names "Death" and "Hell" in Revelation, Chapter 6, Verses 7 through 8, we can clearly see that the covenant Israel makes with Death and Hell is a covenant with the Beast.

Daniel, Chapter 9, Verse 27, gives the duration of and purpose for Israel's covenant. It is a seven-year treaty that will first permit the Jews to build the Tribulation Temple and then to reinstate animal sacrifice. Perhaps at this time, the Priori of Sion will return Solomon's treasures to the Temple. The treaty, however, will be broken in the middle of the seven years, when the Templar Beast places his own image in the Temple.

Remember, the base religion of these people is secular humanism, wherein man, himself, is God. So what will be placed in the Temple? Man will be established as God.

What are the current signs that Israel may rebuild its Temple for the third time? We know that contemporary Jewish rabbis are looking for the appearance of their messiah. We know that they have already rejected Christ. The question is, who will they accept as messiah? The most recent candidate recently died. Obviously, it will be a person or a nation or an organization, such as Freemasonry, which will guarantee them the opportunity to rebuild their Temple. And if that entity should suddenly return to the nation of Israel Solomon's vast treasury, the Jews will fall headlong into worshipping that entity as their messiah through deception.

You see, they will be deceived--just as the rest of us have been deceived and will continue to be deceived--until we learn to look for the truth and stop believing. Jews are no different than anyone else.

And if Israel is going to be deceived and make this pact with the devil, why are you all rushing so headlong following these people who are telling you that you are the lost children of Israel?

Are you going to be the ones who make this pact with the devil?

If there is a devil?

I believe it is a philosophy.

Arthur Crawford, the Bible teacher and Pastor of Riverside Bible Church of Columbus, Ohio, confirms that two rabbis have suggested that as far as they are concerned, messiah could be a set of nations, a world power, that guaranteed their integrity, an individual or organization. They don't care. Any of those, say the rabbis, would meet the biblical prophecies of messiah. Could it be the United States of America?

Revelation, Chapter 18, Verse 3 says, quote:

[Revelation 18:3b:]

"...the merchants of the earth are made rich through her wealth. [not KJV]"

End quote. If London has controlled the wealth of Solomon since the 14th century, estimated to be $14 billion, one can only imagine what that treasury is worth today after being invested for over 700 years. These investments certainly would make the merchants of the earth rich.

The treasury would also make London the financial center of the world--and it is--as Revelation 18 suggests, Mystery Babylon must be.

And according to the "Encyclopedia Britannica", the United Kingdom has one of the world's oldest, most extensive, and most highly developed financial systems. And for many purposes, London is still the financial center of the western world--all built upon the basis of the first international banking empire of the Knights Templar.

According to British journalist Stephen Knight, this wealthy city is dominated by Freemasonry. He informs us that London is divided into 25 wards, ten of which have their own lodges. Every ward, without exception, has at least one Freemason among its representatives.

The 25 wards of London are run by a city corporation called the Corporation of the City of London, which has elected representatives. However, the main salaried officers of the corporation are Freemasons.

"Indeed,"

says Knight,

"it is virtually impossible to reach a high position in Guild Hall without being an active Brother. The Corporation of the City of London is so strongly Masonic, that many connected with it, some Masons included, think of it as virtually an arm of the Grand Lodge."

But it must be not forgotten that the city is first and foremost a financial center. And that is why you are all wrong when you point to the international bankers.

That's why you are all wrong when you point to the Jews.

That's why you are all wrong when you point to the blacks.

It's an organization.

It is a secret religion practiced behind the doors of the Lodge--the door that is guarded by the Tiler.

Knight confirms, statistically, that English Freemasonry is capitalistic, monopolistic, and in control of world finance exactly as the Bible describes. The result is the accumulation of vast wealth by a few merchants of the earth. And he says, and I quote:

"According to confidential statistics from Great Queen Street, there are 1,677 Lodges in London. Between the hours of eight in the morning and six at night, when the city's residential population of about 4,000 swells to 345,000 with the influx of computers, the square mile has the highest density of Freemasons anywhere in Britain.

"The Royal Exchange, the Corn Exchange, the Baltic Exchange, the Metal Exchange, the Bank of England, the Merchant Banks, the insurance companies, the mercantile houses, the Old Bailey, the Inns of Court, the Guild Hall, the schools and colleges, the ancient markets, all of them have Freemasons in significant positions.

"Among the institutions with their own Lodges are:

"The Baltic Exchange, Baltic Lodge No. 3006, which has its own Temple actually in the exchange in St. Mary's Acts;

"The Bank of England, the Bank of England Lodge No. 253; and

"Lloyd's, the Black Horse of Lombard Street, Lodge No. 4255."

End quote. Martin Short, author of "Inside the Brotherhood" 1989, after saying that Freemasonry's strength and the London headquarters of England clearing banks is more than matched in the regions, builds on the Masonic statistics begun by Stephen Knight.

The Midland Bank and Trust Company has its own Lodge, the Holden No. 2946.

There is at least one lodge for members of the stock exchange. The Verity, No. 2739.

"And nothing can happen at Lloyd's Bank or Lloyd's of London,"

says Short,

"without the Lutine Lodge knowing about it."

A non-Mason working at a British commonwealth bank wrote to Short saying this, quote:

"I was in a first-hand position to observe the Masons' activities and was mesmerized by their blatant self-promotion. I saw people totally unqualified for responsible posts being promoted beyond their ability, to the chagrin and bewilderment of officials who had every right to expect the posts themselves.

"In the peculiarly school-like methods of assessing bank staff ability, I saw the appalling sub-standard work of Brotherhood members receive all the plaudits, while the sterling efforts of more worthwhile staff went unremarked. When promotion openings arose, their names were far ahead.

"Independent assessments of two of these executives stated they had already been promoted greatly in excess of their ability. Both are now making a frightful mess of their appointments and losing shareholders' funds."

End quote. Short sounds the alarm as to why the banking industry is in such a mess. His investigations into court cases involving Masonic bankers who have diverted company funds to crooked Brethren prompted him to suggest that the commercial survival of a company, even a nation, could thus be subverted by Masonic insider trading.

The biggest business in London is banking.

Revelation 18 states that Mystery Babylon is the financial center of the world. The financial center of the western world is London, and its banks are controlled by English Freemasonry.

The financial center of the eastern world is Hong Kong, also controlled by London bankers.

According to Reverend Church, the land on which London's financial district is located is owned by the Knights Templar, English Freemasonry's adversary, and this fact may be the literal truth of the symbol of Scarlet sitting on the Templar Beast.

Never thought of that, did you?

Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 3, Verses 9 and 18. Quote:

[Revelation 17:3b, 9b, 18]

Verse 3b: ...I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Verse 9b: ...The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

Verse 18: And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

End quote. The Whore of Babylon has often been identified with the Roman Catholic Church, in part because Rome is literally built upon seven hills. Bible prophecy scholars have often taken this scripture literally, looking to Rome as the seat of the Whore of Babylon. But we know, and you know, through listening to this broadcast, that the Bible seldom means exactly what it says. It is written in metaphors and symbology. And Reverend Hislop's book, "The Two Babylons" was partially based upon this premise, that the Whore of Babylon is the Roman Catholic Church because it sits on seven hills.

But biblical commentators, English and Bower, give us another understanding of the word "mountain" which I believe is more correct, commenting on Psalms 72, Verse 3, they state that:

"...the word "mountain" in the scriptures often speaks of political and governmental powers and kingdoms. Hills are lesser powers, or small states."

With this understanding of mountains and hills, let's look at this passage of scripture in a new light. According to Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 9, the seven mountains on which the Whore sits are not literal mountains, but are the same seven heads, or world powers, of the Beast.

William Goats in "Apocalypse Next", identifies six of them as historic world powers: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. All six empires had a profound, yet singular, effect on Israel.

At the time of John's vision in 90 A.D., the seventh head, or power, had not yet come into being. Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 10 through 11, gives us a clue as to when the seventh will arise. Quote:

[Revelation 17:10, 11]

Verse 10: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Verse 11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,....

End quote. Of the seven kings here mentioned by John, the one, the king that is, is the existing empire of his time, Rome. Rome, then, is the sixth head or power. What then is the seventh world power that must continue a short space? Clearly the eighth head, and not the seventh, is the apocalyptic Beast.

The prophet Daniel, in Chapters 2, 7, and 8, saw the Beast as revived Rome. Therefore, the seventh head cannot be revived Rome, for revived Rome is reserved for the Beast's eighth head.

You see, the phrase "the seventh must continue a short space" indicates that the seventh world power must rise and fall rapidly, sometime between the sixth, the old Rome, and the eighth, the new Rome.

To discover what nation the seventh world power is, we must look at the distinctive features of the previous six, for all seven, ladies and gentlemen, have the same characteristics.

First, the six were controlled by sun-worshiping Mystery Babylon (Revelation 17:9).

Second, each had a profound yet singular effect upon Israel.

John adds two more distinctions for identifying the seventh. In Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 10, he informs us that the seventh must be short-lived. And in Revelation, Chapter 12, Verses 13 and 18, John indicates that Israel must be reconstituted a nation before the eighth, the Beast, can arise.

Israel was reconstituted a nation in 1948. Therefore, the seventh head had to have been a nation, that (1) rose and fell rapidly sometime before 1948; (2) worshipped the sun god; and (3) was controlled by modern Mystery Babylon or English Freemasonry; and (4) had a profound effect upon the Jews.

Clearly, the seventh head or world power is Nazi Germany, for Germany under Naziism fits the above-mentioned criteria. It rose and fell rapidly before 1948. It worshipped an occult ideology and fell rapidly. The occult ideology it worshipped, and the figure whose emblem was the swastika, which we have seen, is an eastern occult symbol, ladies and gentlemen, as I have revealed to you on previous broadcasts of "The Hour of the Time", of the sun, spelled S-U-N. Germany and Hitler were supported and raised up by the powers and personages of English Freemasonry and it conducted systematic genocide against the Jews.

Listed below--and I'm going to read them all to you--are the seven historic world powers, their sun gods, and the profound, yet singular effect of each on Israel.

The world power No. 1 was Egypt. The god was Osiris. The effect on Israel was the exodus about 1400 B.C.

The second world power was Assyria. The sun god was Baal. The effect on Israel was it scattered the ten northern tribes in 721 B.C.

The third was Babylon. The sun god war Marduk . It took Judah and Benjamin captive in 606 B.C.

Then came Persia who worshipped Zoroaster, and sent a remnant back to Jerusalem in 535 B.C.

Next was Greece, who worshipped Zeus, prepared the Jews for the first coming of the Messiah.

And then Rome, whose god was Jupiter, scattered the Jews among the Gentile nations in 70 A.D.

And then Nazi Germany, the swastika symbol of the sun, and the holocaust forced the Jews back to Palestine to resurrect Israel in 1948.

Now, it doesn't matter how many were killed or not killed. Arguing over numbers is absolutely ridiculous, although I will say this: the numbers have been grossly misrepresented.

In Revelation, Chapter 13, Verses 1 and 2, and Chapter 17, Verse 9, it says this, quote:

[Revelation 13:1, 2]

Verse 1a: And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns,....

Verse 2a: And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:....

[Revelation 17:9]

"And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."

End quote. The body of the seven-headed and ten-horned beast consists of a leopard, a bear, and a lion. The composite nature of the beast may represent three regions of the world. The seven heads are historically identifiable nations by the time the Beast, the eighth horn, rises to power. Yet, Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 9 appears to indicate that the seven-heads are also seven end-of-the-age nations, for the Whore of Babylon "sitteth" --present tense--on seven mountains.

There are several prophecies in scripture which, like Revelation 17:9, set a dual prophetic precedence. One is found in Daniel, Chapter 11, where the prophet is foretelling the rise and fall of the Grecian empire. According to English and Bower, Verse 21 is a prophecy of the rise of Antiochis Epiphanes who ruled Syria three centuries later, around 175 B.C.

As Daniel's vision unfolds, the commentators state that it is evident Antiochis becomes a type of the tribulation Beast. Thus, Daniel's one prophecy covered two future events: one 300 years from his time; and one to occur at the end of the age.

Likewise, the seven heads on the Beast in Revelation, Chapter 17, Verse 9, appear to refer to historic nations as well as to nations existing at the end of the age.

And ladies and gentlemen, we will finish tomorrow night.

As always, good night and God bless you all.

William Cooper - Scarlet and the Beast Transcribed Part 1 of 5


THE HOUR OF THE TIME
Tape No. 457: "The Identity of Scarlet #1"
Monday, October 10, 1994

Tonight, folks, we're going to really twist your ears. I hope you have been listening to this broadcast long enough to understand what I'm talking about. Some of you new listeners may get lost. All I can say is if you get lost, buy the tapes of the series on Mystery Babylon and some of the other broadcasts that we've done which lays the groundwork for what you're going to hear tonight, for it's important.

And I know, I get letters from some of you that say you're tired of hearing this stuff. And do you know what? Frankly, my dear Scarlet, I just don't give a damn; because if you're tired of hearing it, and you don't understand it, then you're still in sheeple-land because you can't fight an enemy if you don't know who the enemy is, and what they believe, and what their goals are.

Don't go away, folks, because we're going to pin some labels on some skunks.

In Zechariah, Chapter 1, Verses 18 through 21, it says this. And I quote:

[Zechariah 1:18-21]

Verse 18: Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.

Verse 19: And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

Verse 20: And the Lord shewed me four carpenters.

Verse 21: Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, ...these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

End quote. Now, Zechariah describes two mysterious entities at war: the horns of the Gentiles against the four carpenters.

The horns are responsible for scattering the twelve tribes of Israel throughout the world.

The carpenters retaliate with revolution, to cast out the horns and emancipate the Jews.

Dr. E. Shryler English, the editor of the journal called "Our Hope" during the 1940s and 1950s; and Marion Bishop Bower, the professor at Philadelphia School--now College--of Bible, comment on the meaning of the word "horns" [Hebrew: geren] in prophecy. Quote:

"In the Bible, horns speak of power, often, the power of a Gentile king."

End quote. The first Biblical record of a Gentile king was Nimrod. Nimrod. And we've discussed this king many, many times on this hour. He was known as "the mighty one" who built Babylon. Archaeologists have discovered that this monarch wore a crown of bull horns, which may be the reason scripture has since identified a world power by this symbol.

You see, Nimrod's system of rule was to unite religion with politics--sound familiar?--thus inaugurating what is known as the Babylonian system. This can be found in Genesis, Chapter 10, Verses 8 and 10; and Chapter 11, Verses 2 through 4. They give us a brief history of Mystery Babylon's beginning. And I quote:

[Genesis 10:8, 10]

Verse 8: And Cush began Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

Verse 10: And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Which is Babylonia.

[Genesis 11:2, 4]

Verse 2: And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,...they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

Verse 4: And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

End quote. The city, ladies and gentlemen, stands for the political or civil power of the king; and the tower represents the king's divine, or religious, power.

You see--I have discussed this before with you--in the Bible, what you are reading are metaphors.

In ancient pagan religions, the king united both powers. Nimrod's Babylonian system formed the pattern by which all kingdoms afterwards would be governed; that is, with religion and state united.

Many centuries later, a Babylonian king named Nebuchadnezzar would be the first to lift up his horn over the land of Judah. Nebuchadnezzar is the first of these four historic horned powers mentioned by Zechariah. The other three powers were Medo-Persia, Greece, and of course, Rome.

Both English and Bower suggest that Zechariah's "four carpenters" were workmen, perhaps carvers, or smiths, workers in iron. God wanted to make clear that He has an instrument to destroy every power that works against Him. The workmen, you see, were to crush the world powers that had scattered both Judah and Israel, and which were determined to wipe them out.

What, in fact, these two Bible commentators have just described, is a Masonic revolution. "Carpenter", as we know, is a synonym for "mason". Masonic symbols display the tools of carpenters--such as the square and compass--which is the chief symbol of Freemasonry.

The French Masonic Revolution, a working-man's uprising, was the first to destroy a modern Gentile kingdom and fully emancipate the Jews. French Freemasonry was also the first to form workers' unions, using the force of strikes to paralyze a nation.

The 1848 and 1871 French Masonic Revolutions were both organized from 500 workers' unions. Likewise, the 1905 Grand Orient Bolsheviks coordinated over 1,600 strikes involving a million men and women in St. Petersburg in Russia.

Almighty God inspired Zechariah to use "carpenters" [geren] as the word to represent four Masonic conspiracies against four Gentile world powers.

In Hebrew, "carpenter" [geren] literally means "mason". Furthermore, the Hebrew primitive root, figuratively, describes a masonic conspiracy, quote:

"To devise; hence, to be silent, to let alone, conceal, practice secretly, keep silent, be silent, speak not a word, be still, hold tongue."

End quote. A derivative of the prime root defines "carpenter" as a Mystery Religion. Quote:

"Magical craft; also silence, cunning, secretly."

End quote. When the prime root is capitalized, it means, quote:

"A Levite."

End quote--which the Masonic Scottish Rite, or so-called Jewish Rite, claims as one of its titles.

Another derivative of the primitive root means, quote:

"Spiritually deaf."

End quote. Ha! Which deceived Freemasons certainly are.

The action taken by the four carpenters in the passage from Zechariah was to fray and cast out the Gentile powers. "Fray" [Hebrew: charad], ladies and gentlemen, in Hebrew means, quote:

"To shudder with terror."

End quote. The four carpenters could represent four modern Masonic revolutions that have actually terrorized and dethroned four Gentile kingdoms that have persecuted the Jews.

In fact, terrorism, which is suggested by the Hebrew word for "fray" [charad], has been the tool used in all Grand Orient-style revolutions. Indeed, the kings of Europe shuddered with terror when the French Revolution began, as did Frenchmen, during the "Reign of Terror", and Russians during what is known as the "Red Terror". You've all heard these terms.

English and Bower also state that the four horns refer specifically to Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome.

Daniel, Chapter 2, also prophesies the rise and fall of these four powers. According to Daniel, the fourth declines but will never cease to exist. Instead, it divides into legs: Constantine's Eastern and Western Empire; and then divides further into ten toes.

Daniel, Chapter 7, Verse 7, describes the ten toes as a beast with ten horns.

Revelation, Chapter 13, Verse 1, also describes the beast as having ten horns.

Both are the very same beast.

Many would say "the end time beast". But even in the Bible, and even in the books of prophecy, it will not be the end. Anyone who uses the term "the end time", or "the end of the world", or "the end of the earth", or "the end of time", or "the end of the universe", are all lying.

Many Bible commentators refer to the ten toes and ten horns as the revived Roman Empire, which they believe will include ten European nations at the end of this age, which is the proper term to use.

We could possibly understand the fourth horn mentioned by Zechariah as indeed the horn of the Roman Empire. But of Rome, as it extended to medieval Europe where the old Roman Empire became known as the "Holy Roman Empire", Europe's Babylonian system of united church and state continued to be governed--spiritually, at least--by Rome.

The like old Rome, the Holy Roman Empire was rabidly anti-semitic. Not until the violent carpenter revolutions began 300 years ago, was the Roman horn of the Gentile kings cast out, and Jews became emancipated.

Now, perhaps Zechariah's four carpenters represent the four major Masonic revolutions documented throughout history.

English, 1688.

The American, 1776.

The French in 1789.

And the Russian in 1917.

Not only did these four revolutions emancipate the Jews in their wake, they also prepared the ground for Israel's revival as a nation in 1948.

You see, we can trace the stages of this movement. France gave full emancipation to the Jews in 1791. Russia gave birth to the Zionist movement in the latter half of the nineteenth century. England gave Palestine to the Zionists following World War I. And America guarantees Israel's survival today.

These four carpenter revolutions fought against the Babylonian system that united religion with crown. Revelation 17 refers to this system as:

"MYSTERY BABYLON ... THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS...."

At the time the revolutions began, the Harlot was headquartered at Rome. Where, dear listeners, is her headquarters today? And that is the subject of tonight's broadcast, and if necessary, tomorrow night's and the night after. And then, when we have identified Scarlet, we will identify the Beast.

You see, the actual location of Mystery Babylon in place, time, and religion or church has fascinated an awful lot of people. The history of the Scarlet's travels reveals that as world kingdoms have marched westward, so in tandem have Satan's headquarters advanced.

Revelation 18 discloses that Scarlet's religion controls kings, commerce, and politics. Satan's seat, therefore, must be established at the center of a dominant world power where crown and religion have never been separated.

Following what is known as "The Great Flood", Satan set up his seat of power at Babylon.

When Christ walked the earth, Satan was headquartered at Jerusalem.

When the Adversary was unable to crush Christianity at its source, Rev. Clarence Larkin in "The Book of Revelation" 1919, suggests that Satan followed the church to continue his incessant war against her. Thus, Satan's center of operation transferred to Pergamos, Asia Minor--at that time, the western edge of the Christian movement. And most of you have never even heard of it.

Satan's apparent intent was to block further missionary outreach westward to the continent of Europe. In Revelation, Chapter 2, Verse 13, Christ speaks of Satan dwelling at Pergamos, and he says, quote:

[Revelation 2:13:]

"I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is, and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth."

End quote. Each westward move of the church has been accompanied by Satan and his harlot religion.

Now, bear in mind, if you've been listening to this broadcast for some time, when I talk about Satan, I'm talking about a group of people who practice a Mystery Religion and believe in a certain philosophy.

Satan and his harlot religion, ladies and gentlemen, are known, and have been revealed on this broadcast, as Mystery Babylon. Thus, when the Roman Empire was the dominant kingdom, Satan left Pergamos for Rome and Scarlet, Mystery Babylon, followed.

The Apostle Peter's reference to Babylon, in I Peter, Chapter 5, Verse 13, indicates that the early Christians were aware that Mystery Babylon had located there. Quote:

[I Peter 5:13:]

"The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you;...."

End quote. Rev. Hislop, in his marvelous work--fantastic research, I recommend it to everyone listening: it's called--"The Two Babylons" published in 1916, which was subtitled "The Papal Worship Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife", lends his entire research to the premise that Mystery Babylon took up permanent residence in the church at Rome--something that I have confirmed for you in my own research, and have illuminated your minds with that fact.

Hislop states that:

"It has always been easy to show that the church which has its seat and headquarters on the seven hills of Rome might most appropriately be called "Babylon", in as much as it is the chief seat of idolatry unto the New Testament as the ancient Babylon was the chief seat of idolatry unto the Old."

Unquote. Rev. Clarence Larkin was of the same opinion. Larkin claims that the descriptions of the seven churches of Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, are prophecies of church history. He suggests that Mystery Babylon traveled from Babylon to Pergamos; then from Pergamos to Rome.

Larkin asserts that the period of dominance of Roman Catholicism in church history is prophesied in Revelation, Chapter 2, Verses 18 and 19, which addresses the church in Thyatira.

Bible commentators, English and Bower, held that same opinion in their annotations to the Pilgrim Edition of the Holy Bible. You see, they noted that the word "Thyatira" means "continual sacrifice". They linked this meaning of "Thyatira" with the main act of worship of the Catholic Church: the sacrifice of the mass, which is a continual ordinance within the Roman Church.

In Revelation, Chapter 2, Verses 20 through 23, Christ, through the Apostle John, issues a severe condemnation of the church at Thyatira, and he says this, quote:

[Revelation 2:20-23]

Verse 20: Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Verse 21: And I gave her space to repent of her fornication: and she repented not.

Verse 22: Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Verse 23: And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Clarence Larkin identifies that woman Jezebel and the church of Thyatira with the Jezebel of Israel. He writes this--and this is very interesting. Quote:

"Jezebel, the wife of Ahab, was not by birth a daughter of Abraham, but a princess of idolatrous Tyre, at a time, too, when its royal family was famed for cruel savagery and intense devotion to Baal and Astarte. Ahab, King of Israel, to strengthen his kingdom, married Jezebel; and she, aided and abetted by Ahab, introduced the licentious worship of Baal into Israel and killed all the prophets of the Lord she could lay her hands on."

"Now, there is no question that whether Jezebel was a real person in the church or not, she typified a system, and that system was the papal church. When the papal church introduced images and pictures into its churches for the people to bow down to, it became idolatrous. And when it set up its claims that the teaching of the church is superior to the Word of God, it assumed the role of prophetess. And a careful study of the papal systems from A.D. 606 to the Reformation A.D. 1520, with its institution of the sacrifice of the mass and other pagan rites, reveals in it the sway of Jezebelism. It was also a period of Jezebelistic persecution, as seen in the wars of the Crusades and the rise of what we know today as the Inquisition."

End quote. Now, remember, that's his opinion. But it seems indisputable that Rome, at that time the mightiest power on earth, was the headquarters of the Babylonian religion.

Rome, however, is not the greatest power today. Make no mistake. Yet, Alexander Hislop leaves the Mother Harlot in the Roman Church, while his contemporary, Clarence Larkin, terminates Jezebelism around 1520 A.D.

William R. Goats, in "Apocalypse Next", a book listing incredible indications that long-prophesied cataclysmic events are coming upon the earth, attempts to locate Mystery Babylon's present headquarters by looking for the seat of a religion which permits all other religions to join her fellowship. And this, ladies and gentlemen, when you find the identity of this religion--this church--you will find the true and real identity of Mystery Babylon.

"Quite apparently,..."

says Goats

"...no one religion, like Protestantism, or Islam, or Catholicism, could get all other religions to join it, though many such attempts have been, and are being, made."

And he is right. Unquestionably, whatever religion it is, it will have to have a strong appeal--far stronger than the appeal of watered-down Christianity today, which in fact, is not Christianity at all.

Goats suggests that this religion will include the occultic practices, such as black magic, seances, demon contact, miracles, witchcraft, sorcery, and of course, the old standby, astrology.

He then provides yet another criterion to help discover the present-day Mother of Harlots: proper biblical interpretation, which demands that the first use of a term in scripture be followed in every single successive use, and not change the meaning according to what you want to believe. And if you do this, you soon confirm that we are close to solving the mystery of what religion the Harlot could possibly represent.

Now, many of you listening to tonight's broadcast who may believe that this is a religious program, let me set you straight. It is not.

I have given you the identity of Mystery Babylon many, many, many times in the past, in many different languages, using many different illustrations, facts, history, documents. There is no doubt about it. Tonight, I am merely going about it in a different tack, using the book that many of you believe is absolutely, one hundred percent true. And if it is, it will make this same identification. And if we use the Book of Revelation, I can guarantee you it will, because I gave you another revelation during my many broadcasts on the revelations of the identity of this power. So, make sure that you listen carefully, ladies and gentlemen; for in the next few nights, or maybe the next week or week-and-a-half, you're going to be amazed.

You see, applying Goats's formula to scripture, we know that ancient Babylon was also the Mother of Harlots; and that the Whore of Babylon was also the Mother of Harlots. You see, ancient Babylon produced this thing called the Mother of Harlots. And the Whore of Babylon was also the Mother of Harlots. And that indicates that she has many offspring. She is not an offspring or child herself, but the original mother of all false religions.

Does that ring any bells?

Applying Goats's criteria to the Catholic Church, we discover that the Church at Rome could never have been Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots, since her roots were not at Babylon. Nor could she have been an offspring. For example, Thyatira, which Clarence Larkin claims is prophetic of Roman Catholicism, was one of our Lord's seven churches and not an offspring of the Harlot.

Christ, himself, recognized Thyatira as his own. He did not call her the Mother of Harlots, but he did condemn her for fornication with Jezebel, which is representative of her idolatry with the Mother Harlot.

We find a similar case of idolatry in the Old Testament. You see, Jeremiah 3 records that God divorced Israel for whoring after Babylonian deities.

The Jews had previously fallen into the same sin as the Christians at Rome. Is Israel Mystery Babylon, too? Of course not. Yet, Mystery Babylon did, ladies and gentlemen, pass through her. Likewise Mystery Babylon is passed through the Roman Church, but the Roman Church is not herself the Mother of Harlots.

If you've listened to my entire series called "Mystery Babylon", or the Mystery Series, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. For Mystery Babylon has resided, and in some ways, still resides in these institutions. But these institutions did not begin as Mystery Babylon, and certainly are not the head of Mystery Babylon at the present time.

In our day, ladies and gentlemen, the Harlot must be a Mystery Religion with roots in Babylon. The roots must be in Babylon and it must be a Mystery Religion, for in the book known as the Bible, it is called "Mystery Babylon". It has to be a religion that is known as the Mother of all modern harlot religions. Her form of worship, however, is not the only criterion for identification.

Remember, we're identifying Scarlet from the Book of Revelations. Revelations 17 and Chapter 18 gives us further clues about her. In the last days, it says, before her destruction by fire, she must be in control of kings, commerce, finance, and big business on an international scale. The Roman Church lost that control during the last three centuries of political revolutions.

A powerful world-wide order does comply with the criteria provided by Goats and indicated by scripture. The Mother Harlot, or Scarlet, is a Mystery Religion, admitting so in her own secret publications.

You see, since 1717, all modern cults, secret societies, and false religions organized in the Western world, had issued from her womb. All religions older than she can join her ranks without discrimination. Other indications are that her associates, her lovers, are the rulers of governments. Her hierarchy controls world banking, commerce, and industry; and most significantly, she commands the illicit manufacture and trafficking of drugs to all nations.

Are you beginning to get a glimmer?

This mysterious entity, not tied to any religious system yet allowing all to join her ranks, operates on her own in the maturity of the Mother Harlot. Presenting herself as a Judeo-Christian organization, she has all the markings of Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots, and claims in her own publications to originate at Babel. She is not headquartered at Rome, but has moved much farther west.

We can trace her movement by means of Revelation 18, Verse 24, quote:

[Revelation 18:24:]

"And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

End quote. Her final goal is a universal brotherhood, governed by a global political system under her idolatrous command. She is the Harlot of Revelation riding upon the political Beast. Her exit from the Catholic Church began with the Protestant Reformation, and Martin Luther's personal seal was the emblem of the Rosy Cross.

The Protestant Reformation and carpenter revolutions of our modern era, which had their beginnings three centuries ago, were the only avenues of escape from the progressively despotic Roman church which was in union with equally despotic European kings in what is called "the Old World Order".

You see, to have a New World Order, we must have had an Old World Order, and that is it. Together, they had created for their subjects such untenable conditions that a New World Order was soon to throw off the yoke of oppression. The duration of the Roman Church's entanglement with worldly empires recalls the words of Christ in Revelation, Chapter 2, Verses 21 through 23, to the Catholic Church at Thyatira. Quote:

[Revelation 2:21-23]

Verse 21: And I gave her space to repent of her fornication: and she repented not.

Verse 22: Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Verse 23: And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

End quote. Christ's prophecy of tribulation for the Thyatira church age has been fulfilled. The savagery of the Inquisitions, performed in the name of Jesus Christ by vain and pompous popes, made barbarians look like gentle lambs. As a result, pagans who had converted to Christianity for convenience began to form secret societies to protect themselves. The Protestants fought in the open. Thus, the Reformation arose from not only Protestant Christians but protesting pagans as well.

When Mystery Babylon could no longer control the Vatican, she exited the Catholic Church during the Reformation and buried her conspiracy in secret societies with the intent of destroying the church through political revolution. These secret societies had existed since the days of ancient Babylon, but never had they penetrated the European continent--at least not as far as religion was concerned, the religion of Christianity--until the Crusades.

Freemasonry became the largest and most enduring secret society to house Mystery Babylon. Through Masonic Lodges, the Whore of Babylon achieved her revolutionary goals. The Little Masonic Library readily admits that, quote:

"In the Reformation, Masonry severed its connection with Catholicism."

End quote. In another place, the "Little Masonic Library" acknowledges Freemasonry's birth with the Reformation. Quote:

"Indeed, we have not duly considered how truly Masonry, in its modern form, was a child of the Reformation, allied as it was with the movement or group of movements, out of which came the freedom of he peoples, the liberty of conscience and the independence of manhood."

End quote. And remember, their goal from the beginning was to destroy all existing religions, destroy all existing governments, and shackle the mob.

What was to come out of this? A one-world government ruled by them.

Who is "them"? They are the ones identified by the number 666; those who have fulfilled the three degrees in six acts of the initiation of Mystery Babylon.

We know that Clarence Larkin terminates Jezebelism, or Mystery Babylon, in the Catholic Church around 1520 A.D. It was during this time, 1534, that King Henry VIII insisted that Parliament replace the Catholic Church in England with the Church of England. Every British monarch since has usurped the position of the Pope as head of the State Church.

In 1688, the English Masonic "Glorious Revolution" did not alter the King's position. Instead, Freemasonry took control of the church. British Journalist Stephen Knight confirms that, quote:

"The Church of England has been a stronghold of Freemasonry for more than 200 years."

End quote. In the 1950s, the Archbishop of Canterbury, sixteen bishops, and more than five hundred Anglican priests were Freemasons.

French Freemason, Marius Lepage, in "Le Symbolism", October 1953, said, quote:

"It is absolutely useless for a Frenchman to try to understand English Masonry unless he realizes that the Crown, the Anglican Church, and the United Grand Lodge of England, are one-god-in-three-persons."

End quote. What Jesus Christ condemned in the Church at Rome, the Church of England embraced.

On June 24th, 1717, four London Masonic Lodges united in the Grand Lodge; then established the claim that English Freemasonry is rooted at Babylon, with Nimrod as its founder.

This is written in their own words. It is their own admission. It is not something that someone else took and put in their mouth. It is a fact. This is also the date Freemasonry purports that the Catholic Church began to lose its hold on kingdoms.

In speaking to the Grand Orient Convention at Paris in 1902, Grand Master Delpeck said, quote:

"The Church of Rome, based on the Galilean myth, began to decline rapidly from the very day on which the Masonic Association was established."

End quote. In 1737, English Freemasonry established the tradition of making her kings honorary heads of the Grand Lodge. This move, in effect, made British monarchs priest-kings of modern Mystery Babylon. And to this very day, England has never wavered from her Babylonian system.

Even when French Freemasonry forced the separation of church and state in all its revolutions, English Freemasonry remains in control of church and state to this day.

In summary, Zechariah's fourth horn, the Roman Empire, represents the Babylonian monarchical system of rule extended to medieval Europe under which Jews suffered. And when the European horns were cast out by the carpenter revolutions, Jews were emancipated. Church was separated from state, and the Babylonian system shifted from Rome to London.

The greatest book of prophecy in the Bible promises a special blessing to those who read it, understand it, and do those things written therein, according to Revelation, Chapter 1, Verse 3.

In this book, the account of the two Masonic conspiracies--in the text referred to as Mystery Babylon and the Beast--is prophesied. You see, there are two powers. The history and end time destruction of Mystery Babylon is recorded in Revelation 17 and 18.

In Chapter 17, Verses 1 through 9, the Apostle John describes Scarlet as shown to him by Jesus Christ. Now, remember, he is describing Scarlet. And remember, there are really three factions warring against each other: one is certain to be a member of one of the other two or both, always, because that is the only way it can continue to exist. So, in effect, we see two powers, warring against each other, and a third, jealous of the power of the other two but skipping back and forth according to whichever helps it the most, has managed to survive, and will, in fact, seat its representative upon the throne of the world eventually, according to my research.

Now, here's Apostle John, describing Scarlet as shown to him by Jesus Christ in Revelation 17 and 18, and this is Revelation 17, Verses 1 through 9 [sic, verses 1b-7 and 9]. Quote:

[Revelation 17:1b-7:]

Verse 1: ...I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

Verse 2: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Verse 3: So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Verse 4: And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Verse 5: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Verse 6: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Verse 7: And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

[Revelation 17:9]

"And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."

End quote. That Scarlet's worship is hidden in mystery or eastern mysticism is agreed to by William Goats in "Apocalypse Next". Goats states that modern Mystery Babylon will not be a church of watered-down Christianity, but rather must be a secret organization which practices what he calls "witchcraft".

A close look at the Greek of the scripture text above confirms this interpretation of Mystery Babylon. You see, the Greek word for "mystery" [Greek: musterion] means, quote:

"To shut the mouth; a secret through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites."

End quote. This definition concurs with the meaning of the Hebrew word for "carpenters" [Hebrew: charash] in Zechariah's vision at the beginning of the chapter. Quote:

"To devise--in a bad sense; hence, from the idea of secrecy, to be silent, to let alone, conceal, practice secretly, keep silence, be silent, speak not a word, be still, hold tongue."

End quote. The initiation into religious rites and all Babylonian Mystery Religion includes taking blood oaths of silence. For those who take the oaths, if one is to believe their veracity, a cruel death is administered if silence is not maintained.

For illustration, we shall consider the consequences of taking the Masonic oaths in each of the first three degrees of Freemasonry. At the end of the initiation, the candidate swears to keep all Masonic secrets:

"...binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut across, tongue torn out by its roots, breast torn open, heart plucked out, body severed in twain, bowels taken from thence, should I ever knowingly violate this my solemn obligation."

After the oath is taken, the Worshipful Master of the Lodge says to the Senior Deacon:

"He is bound to us by an obligation, a tie stronger than human hands can impose."

Who imposes this inhuman tie but Satan, the Master Deceiver?

James, Chapter 5, Verse 12, warns Christians against taking such secret oaths because they are deception:

[James 5:12:]

"But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation."

The Greek word for the type of condemnation of which James speaks [Greek: hupokrisis] means "deceit, lies, deception, manipulation"--what I have warned you against all this time. And I have identified them without the use of the Bible over and over and over again and now I nail it down, and it is used in this sense only once in all the New Testament.

Deceit is at the heart of Freemasonry, according to the greatest Freemason of all time, Albert Pike. In fact, in "Morals and Dogma", Pike writes that in the Blue Degrees, the initiate is intentionally misled. Something more than deception binds the initiate when he takes the blood oaths.

Oswald Worth, a well-known 33rd Degree French Grand Lodge Mason confirms in his book, "The Ideal Initiate", 1927, that the act of taking the Masonic oath is, in fact, selling one's soul to the devil. And I quote:

"It is a serious matter to ask for initiation, for one has to sign a pact which demands that the man's soul be truly committed in the act. It is not, then, like driving a bargain with the devil, in which the Evil One allows himself to be tricked. It is an agreement entered into seriously on both the devil's and the initiate's sides, and there is no escape from its clauses. The initiate, himself, is, by that very fact, indissolubly bound to his Masters. It would all be nothing if you could ask to be initiated free of all obligation without paying with your very soul."

End quote. Revelation, Chapter 18, Verses 11 and 13, confirms the Mystery Babylon "buyeth...the souls of men." This purchase is made by Satan through the initiate's own blood when he takes the Masonic oath.

Anyone who is listening, who is bound by their oath in Freemasonry, the Apostle Paul says in I Corinthians, Chapter 6, Verse 20, that already your souls, quote:

[I Corinthians 6:20:]

"...are bought with a price:...."

End quote. And that price is the precious blood of Jesus Christ. See also, I Peter, Chapter 1, Verses 18 through 19.

You have committed a grievous sin when you took the Masonic oath. God, however, is merciful. He will forgive you if you ask him. And he will renew you to the joy of your salvation if you repent. That is, if you turn away, whole-heartedly, body and soul, from Freemasonry.

Good night, dear listeners. And God bless you all.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's broadcast is taken in part from "Scarlet and the Beast", Chapter 25.

Israel To Name New Settlement After Obama


By Saleh Naami

In a move that comes as gesture of deep gratitude, the Israeli government permitted an extreme rightwing Israeli association to name a new settlement Obama. The building of settlements makes the establishment of a connected Palestinian state an impossible task.

Bulldozers started to pave the way for the settlement a day after Obama gave his speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual conference. The construction of the settlement comes in the larger context of a Zionization project that aims to link Jerusalem to the city of Ma’ale Adumim, north east of Jerusalem.

The location of the Obama settlement is along the main road that connects the West Bank’s northern and southern regions; a consequence of building the settlement would therefore be to separate those territories permanently.

In order to make concrete the reality of settlement in these territories, the Israeli government has decided to move its police headquarters next to the Obama settlement.

Israeli radio reported that this step came to honour Obama’s positions in solidarity with Israel which he disclosed to his audience at the AIPAC conference.

Israeli official sources mentioned that the Israeli step comes in the framework of the strategy “Greater Jerusalem,” which aims to change the demographic nature of Jerusalem, raising the number of Jews to one million, a project put forth by former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon.

Rudolph Hess: New Perspectives on an Old Mystery



By T Stokes
The Truth Seeker

Some years ago on Christmas Eve I was invited to attend a 70th birthday celebration held for ex-intelligence personnel.

An amusing senior policeman who told filthy jokes introduced me to an inebriated old chap dozing in front of a fire who had been at guard at Spandau prison, where Hess was held.

Almost word for word I remember what he said to me and I repeat it here:

“The history books say that Hess, the third most powerful man in Germany, who had bodyguards 24 hours a day, could not even go to the toilet on his own, yet we are told he slipped away from them, went to an airfield which was guarded in time of war, got in without being recognised, bolted on extra large fuel tanks without being challenged, gave a signature for fuel, and warmed up the engine for the statutory 20 minutes without being stopped, Britain was at war with Germany and anyone stealing an aeroplane was shot down instantly, yet although there were no maps, he knew exactly where to fly to in Scotland, British interception fighters were told keep away,”

So I then asked him what exactly was he was telling me?

Luring Hess to Britain, he said, was an MI6 “sting operation” to embarrass Hitler.

Hess told us that the Katyn Forest massacre was the work of Stalin’s N.K.V.D, which we already knew although we blamed Germany.

Hess also said that Hitler wanted peace with us and that Germany, Britain and the U.S were all part of the Anglo Saxon brotherhood and he did not want war among them. Particularly he wanted Churchill to stop bombing civilians.

Remember that at Dunkirk Hitler allowed the British army to escape. He could have annihilated our forces as they were largely defenceless in the water, but he wanted our forces strong because all through the war, we were negotiating with Germany over the seriousness of the Soviet threat.

The former Spandau guard said Hess was “fitted up at the Nuremberg trials and given a life sentence, he was also given mind altering drugs, which made him appear mad before the trial, and all Germans were beaten and serially kicked in the groin, on Churchill’s orders.”

Hess desperately wanted to discuss the “Jewish question” but Britain, controlled by the international financiers themselves, refused.

A prominent Rothschild among them is on record as saying and I quote:

“There will be no room in the new land for schorrers” (beggars or poor Jews).

Some years later I discussed this with a senior wartime MI6 officer who said:

“No one in the prison (Spandau) is allowed to speak to Hess, he has not been allowed to speak for 25 years, the whisper is, that the man in prison is not Hess at all because the prison doctor claims he does not have Hess’s chest or leg wounds from WWI”.

Sir. Anthony Blunt added to this by saying Britain knew it was the Soviet forces who liquidated thousands of the Polish intelligentsia at Katyn forest. The concern in Oxford and Cambridge Universities was that if Russia conquered Britain, our intelligentsia would go the same way.

The father of ex BBC TV producer John Leigh, was in wartime intelligence and he was personally involved in Hess’s capture. According to Leigh: “I was given a map and told to go immediately on my motorbike and sidecar to pick up a very distinguished German who was landing in Scotland and pick him up and bring him here, before the others got him”.

His reference to getting to Hess “before the others got him” is telling because it indicates that British intelligence may have been at odds over him.

Neville Chamberlain had made extensive inquiries through security sources as Hitler rose to power, and Admiral Barry Domvile had AIPs (agents in place) right at the top of the Third Reich and he insisted Hitler was not a threat to Britain but to Russia.

I also managed to get a statement from one of Hess’s arresting officers who confirmed much of what I had already been told, but added, that Hess was expected in his aircraft.

He also said Hess was being drugged to make him appear “mad” and believed that Hess was switched with another prisoner. The arresting officer said it was rumoured that Hess was with the King’s brother and peacemaker, the Duke of Kent on a flight over Scotland when it came down killing all aboard.

Anthony Blunt claimed Britain did not want to shorten W.W.II with the treaty brought by Hess and rejected it without consultation.

Churchill said many times he wanted “total war” and “the complete elimination of Germany, as a nation”.

Those phrases, “ The complete elimination of Germany as a nation” and “total war” were used consistently by the Rothschild financial backers who put Churchill into power at the start of World War II.

During the Arab/Israeli 6 day war a highly placed Rabbbi and good friend who advised on the Nuremberg trials, gave me further back up information.

That Churchill was in the grip of these men there can be no doubt, it is documented that he was a 33rd degree mason, had been involved in unsavoury occult practises and made his personal fortunes during the Boer war by protecting Jewish investment in the South African diamond and gold mines.

Finally I’ll close by asking if you can answer the question: “name one person who was in Churchill’s war cabinet”? The answer may seem evasive because this was the age of dictators like Franco, Mussolini, Hirohito, Stalin, Hitler and yes, Churchill too.

This strange situation was created and manipulated by the moneymen for their benefit. These dictators were just like chess pieces on a board used to play each other for profit. With the ultimate winners in their wars being the moneylenders, the international financiers who funded the conflicts and profited from them too.
