This website is collecting information about Dr. Billy Graham's
ministry to warn Australians about this ministry. We would not
be carrying this information if we did not witness the list ourselves
online. The links below were active at one point and listed what
is discussed on this page. The links to the Louisiana Masonic
Family website are not active with the information introduced
here. Dr. Billy Graham was listed on the page described and was
quickly removed when it got around. Freemasons are sworn to secrecy
and threatened to get their throats cut or be disembowelled if
they share anything about the Lodge.
A former Mason named Morgan first broke the silence about
the Lodge in the U.S. during the years when the Mormon church
was developed with Joseph Smith at the helm. He was blindfolded,
placed in a barrel and pushed over the Niagara Falls and killed.
Obviously we are asking a lot of Billy Graham but it is a matter
of his own soul. How will he answer God when he is confronted
at the judgment.
End-Time Deception Ministries page -- http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/8988/deadly.htm
was the page of a researcher who has quietly closed down his
website. It is not known what his reasons for leaving was. Notice
the title line on this page which was written at the Despatch
website. This page is the third edition due to the problem of
keeping live links going relative to this problem of Masonry
in connection with Dr. Graham. His representatives have flatly
denied that he is a member of a Lodge. The author who made the
claim that he saw the Reverend personally has since gone to be
with the Lord.
The reason we can well assume that the information advertised
on the web was true is that it came from a Masonic Lodge. Dr.
Graham's history of being many President's spiritual advisor
over many years of both democratic and republican position of
which some were members of the Masonic Lodge at some point or
another. If Dr. Graham was a truly devout Christian committed
to God, he would have had to refrain from consulting with Freemasons.
In example President Reagan and his first lady were consulting
astrologers related to witchcraft. God warns us not to associate
ourselves which such things as Christians.
We were in Mormonism, also a quasi Masonic organization for
many years and we often listened to Dr. Graham's speeches. Had
he only told his audience once that Mormonism is a satanic organization
we would have left, since we are Christians and looked to Billy
Graham for guidance. It never crossed his lips. There are a lot
of deceived Christians in Mormonism who could be set free if
someone like Graham would care enough to tell the truth.
The List Billy Graham hates is still out there.

Subject: Billy Graham
Dear Watchmen,
Finally, solid evidence is coming forth from the Masonic Order
itself concerning Billy Graham's affiliation with this occult
organization. The following is an excellent article by David
Bay of Cutting Edge Ministries which exposes Billy Graham --
with references to an official Masonic web site that lists "Rev.
Billy Graham" among their "Famous Members." (Go
to "Other Famous Masons") For primary evidence documenting
Rev. Graham's status as a "33rd Degree Mason" -- the
highest order of Masons which are the elite planners of the New
World Order -- access the following End-Time Deception Ministries
page -- http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/8988/deadly.htm
End-Time Ministries also has an informative web page with sound
files on Kenneth Copeland, another 33rd degree Mason --
One of the petitions on the Watch Unto Prayer list is "that
false prophets and teachers will be exposed." Such a request
reflects God's will, for many Scriptures warn the saints to beware
of and to avoid deceivers. Paul often identifies such men by
name, so that the church will know who they are. In II Tim. 3:10,
referring to "men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning
the truth," Paul states "But they shall proceed no
further; for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's
also was." In this period of unprecedented deception, it
seems reasonable to pray, not only that wolves in sheeps' clothing
will be exposed, but that their exposure will be so extensive
(unto all men) they will be unable to continue their deception.

THE "LOUISIANA MASONIC FAMILY" WEB SITE
REPORTS THAT THE REVEREND BILLY GRAHAM IS A FREEMASON!!
For the past three decades, we Fundamental, Born Again Christians
have repeatedly shaken our heads in dismay at the many strange
and apostate actions that the organization of the Reverend Billy
Graham was taking. We could not understand why he was doing many
of these things.
But, if Billy Graham is a Freemason, as this Louisiana Masonic
Site reports him to be, our questions are answered. We report
this information, and we recount these many previously unexplainable
events in the past 30 years.
The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand
what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually
implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily
news!!
Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!
Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at
the news the same way again.
YOU ARE NOW ON THE CUTTING EDGE
NEWS BRIEF: The Louisiana Masonic Family Web Site has
a section entitled, "Famous Masons" In the subsection
entitled, "Other Famous Masons", they report that the
Reverend Billy Graham is a Freemason!
The Home Page of the Louisiana Masonic Family is: http://www2.linknet.net/masonic/mig1.htm
The link entitled, "Famous Masons" is on http://www2.linknet.net/masonic/famous.htm
On Page 12 of 15, alphabetically listed, the Reverend Billy
Graham is listed!!
If Reverend Graham is a Freemason as this Louisiana Masonic
Family Web Site reports, and we have no reason to doubt it, then
we can begin to understand why and how his organization has drifted
far, far away from pursuing the true goals of the Fundamental,
Bible-believing Christian Churches. These goals were well supported
by Reverend Graham in the late 1940's, as well they should have
been, because they were based upon Biblical principle. As Reverend
Graham began to drift away from these goals, we in the Fundamental
community were terribly dismayed and filled with consternation!!
We began to watch the activities of his organization very carefully,
and saw, to our greater dismay, that he continued to drift into
the camp of apostate churches and New Age organizations! Today,
Reverend Graham is cooperating with the Roman Catholic Pope and
the Vatican on many issues, he has been seen speaking to the
World Council of Churches, and cooperating with other apostate
religious leaders. We will document these activities, below.
Before we get started, however, we need to reiterate that
we found this information on an official Masonic Web Site, not
on an anti-Mason Web Site. We cannot conceive that the Louisiana
Masonic Family Web Site would print a lie concerning their membership.
We urge you to click on these Web addresses that we listed, above,
to see this information for yourself. However, we have noticed
that several official Masonic Web Sites that used to include
Reverend Graham's name on their membership list have subsequently
removed his name. Why would they do this? They undoubtedly took
this action because of pressure from the Graham organization.
Therefore, we believe that this Louisiana Masonic Family Web
Site might also remove his name from their membership once this
news is reported. The only reason we can think of that this kind
of pressure might be exerted is the Reverend Graham is not willing
that others learn of his membership at this time. Perhaps he
feels that Christians of his key constituencies would leave in
droves should they learn that he is a Freemason.
In the next article, we shall examine the ramifications of
this startling information that Reverend Billy Graham is a Freemason.
But, now, we need to examine the things which the Graham organization
has done over the years that caused Fundamental Christians to
understand, with dismay, that he was moving toward apostasy.
Billy Graham's Rapid Change of Principles
I. Billy Graham's Rapid Changes From His Original Crusade
Policies
This is taken from "Billy Graham's 23 years of Theological
Change" by Rev. Charles Emert, 1971.
A. Change Regarding The Apostate World
Council of Churches 1. In 1948 Billy Graham was asked, "What
do you expect the WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES to do this August
when they visit Copenhagen?" He replied, "I believe
they are going to NOMINATE THE ANTICHRIST!" [He certainly
was against the WCC at that time!] 2. As Early As 1966 He boasted
that he attended the WCC assembly in New Delhi in 1961, and he
hoped he would attend the 4th assembly in Uppsala, Sweden in
1968 (which he did). He has attended all but two WCC assemblies
ever since. This policy continues. Quite a CHANGE!
B. Change Regarding Sponsorship by
Various Councils of Churches 1. In 1952 Billy Graham wrote to
Dr. John R. Rice, "... we have NEVER been sponsored by the
COUNCIL OF CHURCHES in any city except Shreveport and Greensboro
... both small towns where the majority of ministers are evangelical."
2. As Early As 1964 Billy Graham's Columbus, Ohio, crusade was
sponsored by the modernistic Columbus area Council of Churches.
This policy continues. Quite a CHANGE!
C. Change Regarding Non-Fundamentalists
In Authority or Responsibility 1. In 1955 Billy Graham said to
Dr. John R. Rice: "I will NEVER have anybody take a PLACE
OF AUTHORITY or RESPONSIBILITY in my campaign who is not SOUND
IN THE GREAT FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH." 2. As Early As
1957 In the New York crusade, Billy Graham had Henry Pitt Van
Dusen, President of Union Theological Seminary. take a place
of responsibility and authority. U.S. News wrote that Van Dusen's
school was "one of the most LIBERAL and LEFT-WING schools
in America." Yet for all this, they wrote that "Dr.
Van Dusen is considered by Graham as a GREAT RELIGIOUS LEADER."
He [Billy Graham] has used other apostates such as Robert J.
McCracken, Norman Vincent Peale, and others. This policy continues
in his crusades. Quite a CHANGE! [Cutting Edge Commentary: Norman
Vincent Peale was also a Freemason, according to this Louisiana
Masonic Family Web Site, given above, and by Cyberconnect's "History
of Freemasonry", http://www.cyberconnect.com/max/hist.htm
.Both these Web Sites are official Freemasonry sites!]
D. Change Regarding Separation From
Those Who Reject Biblical Authority 1. In 1952 and 1958 Billy
Graham, in time past made sound statements concerning false doctrine:
a. In 1952, He wrote to Bob Jones, Sr., "We have never had
a man on our committee that denied the VIRGIN BIRTH, the VICARIOUS
ATONEMENT, or the BODILY RESURRECTION." b. In 1958. He stated
in Eternity Magazine: "If a man blatantly denies the DEITY
OF CHRIST or that Christ has come in the flesh, we are NOT TO
EVEN BID HIM GODSPEED. Thus, the Scriptures teach that we are
able to be SEPARATED FROM those who DENY THE DEITY OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST ... I am to treat him as an ANTICHRIST and an ENEMY
OF THE CROSS." [Cutting Edge Commentary: We applaud this
statement by Graham, as he certainly knows the Scriptural teaching
regarding the definition of what qualifies as Antichrist teaching,
and the commandment to separate yourself and your organization
from such teaching and from anyone who teaches such heresy. Therefore,
we read, with heavy heart, the next revelation.] 2. As Early
As 1963 He had United Methodist Bishop, Gerald B. Kennedy, as
his Los Angeles Crusade Chairman. Kennedy wrote in one of his
books: "I believe that the testimony of the New Testament,
taken as a whole, is AGAINST THE DOCTRINE OF THE DEITY OF JESUS
..." This policy continues. Quite a CHANGE! [Cutting Edge
Commentary: If Graham was including in his Crusades a man who
publicly denied the Deity of Jesus Christ, as early as 1963,
how is it that all Fundamentalist Christians continued to believe
in him? The answer is that too many of us knew Graham only from
his TV sermons, which contained no error. We assumed his organization
would be similarly true to the Bible. We did not look behind
the scenes to see the heresy beginning to creep in!]
E. Change Regarding Encouraging "Converts"
to go to Modernistic Churches 1. In 1950 Billy Graham's secretary,
Jerry Bevan, wrote, "Certainly, Dr. Graham does NOT encourage
converts to go to Catholic or MODERNISTIC CHURCHES." 2.
As Early As 1957 He sent ... 373 of his New York City decision
cards to the apostate Marble Collegiate Church in that city.
This trend continues in regard to apostate Protestant churches,
Catholic churches, Jewish synagogues, and elsewhere. Quite a
CHANGE! [Cutting Edge Commentary: The word "apostate"
refers to someone or some organization that once stood for the
Truth of the Gospel, but has subsequently abandoned this Truth
and is now advocating other positions that are not Biblical Truth.
Almost all Mainline Protestant denominations, such as the Methodist,
Episcopalian, Congregationalist, to name just a few, at one time
were very Fundamental and adopted the same stands we currently
adopt. However, over the passage of time, these denominations
have drifted away from strictly observing the Fundamental Doctrines
and have begun to either compromise their beliefs or deny their
previously held beliefs]
F. Change Regarding Roman Catholicism:
1. In 1964 Billy Graham's aide, George Edstrom, wrote: "Mr.
Graham has NEVER PREACHED IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH, and he does NOT
AGREE WITH THEM in the joining of ONE CHURCH. If you heard this,
it is nothing but false rumors." 2. As Early As 1963 [Note
that this date is one year earlier than this statement, above]
In 1963, Mr. Graham had spoken at the Roman Catholic Belmont
(NC) Abbey College. [Cutting Edge Commentary: Denying, in 1964,
that Graham had spoken any Catholic Church, when he had, in fact,
spoken at Belmont Abbey College the year earlier, does not this
qualify as an bold faced lie?!] 3. In 1967 He again spoke at
this college at the Institute for Ecumenical Dialogue, receiving
his honorary Doctor of Humane Letters (D.H.L.) from them and
saying that this was "... a time when PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS
could meet together and greet each other as BROTHERS, whereas
ten years ago they could not." At the same time, he stated:
"The Gospel that built this school and the gospel that brings
me here tonight is still the only way to salvation." This
policy of pro-Roman Catholicism continues. Quite a CHANGE! [Cutting
Edge Commentary: We find it almost inconceivable that Graham
could equate the True Gospel of Salvation Through Grace ALONE,
with the Roman Catholic False Gospel of Salvation through good
works, through the Sacraments of the Church, through Baptism,
through praying to dead saints, through praying the Rosary, through
Indulgences, and through Penance. These vast differences are
what caused Martin Luther to break with the Roman Catholic Church
and to start the Protestant Movement. Did you know that the very
word, Protestant, derived from the word, "Protest"
against Rome? Have you forgotten, Mr. Graham, the 8,000,000 million
Protestant martyrs at the hands of the Catholic Inquisition,
from 1550-1850? When Graham is making these statements, and calling
Catholics brothers, he is denying the collective martyrdom of
all these valiant Christians who died at the hands of Rome.]
[The Roman Catholic Church completely fulfills two prophecies.
1) John 16:2-3, "yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth
you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will
they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor
me." More than the Roman and Jewish persecutors during the
day Jesus spoke these words, the Roman Catholic Church has fulfilled
this prophecy. This is exactly what they were doing during the
Inquisition, martyring Protestants and then claiming they were
doing God service. And, Jesus nails the issue right on the head
when He states that the people who do this do not know either
the Father or Jesus. 2) Revelation 17:6, "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." This "woman" is the religious
false harlot, whom Protestant Bible scholars have identified
as the Roman Catholic Church for the past 200+ years. Certainly,
Rome qualifies here, as well. Reverend Graham slighted every
one of these 8,000,000 Christian martyrs when he equated the
True Gospel with the Roman Catholic Church. But, if Graham is
secretly a Freemason, we know how and why he can make this kind
of statement. Remember this about a Freemason: he believes he
is following a higher religious truth than is contained within
any individual religious organization, including Christianity.
Therefore, Graham can preach the Gospel with his lips while guiding
his organization toward the Freemasonry ideal of the global Fraternity
of Mankind, i.e., the New World Order Religion!! And, he can
do this without suffering feelings of remorse and conscience!]
G. Change Regarding Communism 1. In
1949 Billy Graham said: "Communism is inspired, directed,
and motivated, by the Devil himself." [Cutting Edge Commentary:
Graham spoke the Truth here; the question is, did he believe
it then, or was he simply following the Dialectic Process at
this point? In NEWS1007 "Thesis x Antithesis = Synthesis
-- The Real Flow Of History", we showed that Freemasonry
created Communism so as to provide the world with the needed
Antithesis to battle Thesis to produce the Synthesis, which is
the New World Order. Read this article carefully. The point is,
if Billy Graham were a Mason above the 30th Degree, and he probably
was, given his high position of World Evangelist, then he knew
that Communism was a loyal ally in the "struggle" to
achieve the Synthesis, the New World Order.] 2. As Early As 1959
In Christianity Today, it was reported: "Without elaboration,
the evangelist [Graham] said his thinking had undergone some
CHANGES ... and he indicated that his attitude toward EASTERN
EUROPE is more open." This policy continues. Quite a CHANGE!
3. In 1982 He visited the Moscow Peace Conference and said: "I
saw no evidence of religious persecution in Russia." This
was in spite of his visit to the Siberian Pentecostals staying
in the American Embassy. [Cutting Edge Commentary: This was the
event which I saw with my own eyes, as I watched on TV, that
caused me to begin to doubt Reverend Billy Graham. With my background
in history and government, I knew that the Communist Russian
Government strictly controlled what Graham saw in Russia, and
I knew that the severe persecution of religion and the murder
of many Christians, was one of the most well documented tragedies
of the 20th Century. Therefore, for Graham to make this statement,
I knew he had to either be terribly naive or misled, or that
he had to be cooperating with the Communists. Further, I watched
carefully over the next days, weeks, and months, to see if the
Graham Evangelistic Organization issued a statement of clarification
of Graham's ridiculous remarks, because many times, an official
makes a silly remark off the cuff but his office is careful that
everyone knows it was a mistake. No such clarification was ever
issued. In 1982, I was a full 5 years away from understanding
the first thing about the New World Order].
II. A SAMPLING OF OTHER UNSCRIPTURAL BELIEFS OR POLICIES
OF BILLY GRAHAM
A. Communism, Roman Catholicism, and
Mohammedanism "In 1948, he said: 'The three gravest menaces
faced by Orthodox Christianity are Communism, Roman Catholicism,
and Mohammedanism.' In 1973, he said that Communist Mao Tse-Tung's
eight precepts are basically the same as the Ten Commandments.
In 1973, he praised the Roman Catholic mass as a 'very beautiful
thing', and by 1978, he said Muhammed Ali's beliefs in Islam
'are something we all could believe'." [Cutting Edge Commentary:
While this change in statements make no sense on the surface,
and absolutely no sense to the Christian whose beliefs on key
matters are based upon Eternal Scripture, these changes make
absolute sense for a Freemason! A Freemason believes that all
religions are equally valid, and it embraces all the "Wisdom"
of all the Ancient Mystery Religions. Further, a Mason will look
upon Communism as a loyal ally in the drive to create the Synthesis
system known as the New World Order!!
B. Infant Baptismal Regeneration and
Billy Graham "In 1961, Dr. Graham said this of infant baptism:
"I do believe that something happens at the baptism of an
infant ... I believe that a miracle can happen in these children
so that they are regenerated, that is, made Christian through
infant baptism." [Cutting Edge Commentary: Wow, Graham made
this kind of heretical statement in 1961? Why did it take us
Fundamentalists so long to realize that Graham was an apostate??!!
We had on blinders, didn't we?]
C. Apostate Leslie Weatherhead On Billy
Graham's Platform In London "In 1966, Dr. Graham said this
of infant baptism: 'I remember during our London Crusade of 1954,
I preached a sermon ... Dr. Leslie Weatherhead sat on the platform
that evening and to my surprise commended my sermon.' Dr. Weatherhead
was a notorious blasphemer who wrote in his book, The Christian
Agnostic, that the Lord Jesus Christ was born an illegitimate
child, and that Mary was no virgin, but a temple prostitute."
[Cutting Edge Commentary: This heretical notion that Jesus Christ
was born out of wedlock is a common New Age teaching. Some New
Age authors have even gone so far as to say that the father was
a Roman soldier, and some even say that the soldier was of German
descent! I guess the question to ask about this situation, was,
why did Graham allow Dr. Weatherhead to even sit on the platform,
if Weatherhead was so blatantly a heretic? A speaker allows only
dignitaries with whom he agrees to sit on the platform while
he is speaking. Just sitting on the platform with Graham signifies
that Graham was conferring honor and acceptance on Weatherhead!]
D. Billy Graham Doesn't Think The Heathen
Are Lost "In 1978, McCall's Magazine reported Dr. Graham's
'updated' understanding of the way of salvation. 'I used to think
that pagans in far-off countries were lost -- were going to hell
-- if they did not have the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached to
them. I NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT ... I believe there are other
ways of recognizing the existence of God -- through nature, for
instance -- and plenty of other opportunities, therefore, of
saying yes to God." [Cutting Edge Commentary: While the
Apostle Paul did say, in Romans 1:18-20, that all men have a
basic knowledge of God's existence implanted in their inner consciences,
and they can see evidences of God's existence in nature, Paul
is saying all this in connection with the concept that, because
of these things, all men are without excuse before God on Judgment
Day. Paul's exact words were, "... so that they are without
excuse". Paul never, ever, said that the pagans do not need
the Gospel to be saved, as Graham here is saying. In fact, Paul
boldly states just the opposite, in Romans 10:14-15, " How
then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and
how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and
how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the
feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things!" How can the pagans, Paul asks,
be saved without a preacher being sent to preach the Gospel to
them? Dr. Graham was clearly wrong here; why didn't we get wise
then?]
E. Billy Graham -- Now Works With Everyone
"Once a self-confessed 'Bible fundamentalist and separatist',
today Dr. Graham freely associates and fraternizes with 'anyone
under any label' -- liberal, modernist, charismatic, Catholic.
We are not surprised that Dr. Graham is now a friend of the World
Council of Churches and the Roman Catholic Church ... In his
crusades, Dr. Graham has established a global pattern of cooperative,
ecumenical evangelism, allowing liberals, modernists, evangelicals,
charismatic, and Roman Catholics to work together, thus accelerating
the pace of ecumenical union." [Cutting Edge Commentary:
My beloved Mother was a fervent Graham supporter, and believed
that I was totally off base in my complaints. However, in 1994,
just months before she died, she called me one night, crying.
She said, "David, you were right about Billy Graham being
an apostate! I have just been watching his crusade and I was
upset from the beginning by seeing Roman Catholic nuns and priests
on his platform, sitting behind him. When he gave his standard
invitation to come down to accept Jesus Christ as Savior, he
then said, 'And if you are Roman Catholic, I want you to come
down to renew your vows.' " Mom well knew that there is
no salvation within Roman Catholic doctrine, and from that moment
on stayed completely away from any association with Billy Graham
and his organization. But, Dr. Graham has always been ecumenical,
because his crusades have always encouraged the advance support
work from all Protestant churches in the area in which he is
going to have his crusade! And, he has sent follow-up cards to
all Protestant churches after his crusade. Lately, he has been
including the Roman Catholic Church in this effort. Therefore,
Dr. Graham has always promoted Ecumenism.
The Ecumenical Movement seeks to unite all churches of all
denominations, even though many of these churches hold different
doctrines, some them of very important doctrines. Basically,
these churches unite, "agreeing to disagree" on doctrinal
matters, emphasizing matters on which they can agree. Therefore,
churches who believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ and Salvation
only through him, are uniting with churches who deny these doctrines!
This is the Ecumenical Movement today! These churches are ignoring
Jesus' commandments to "Come out of her [the false system],
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues." Or, they have forgotten Paul's
warning of associating with non-believers, "Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he
that believeth with an infidel?" Truly, when a church who
holds to the traditional doctrines of the Christian faith, joins
with a church who denies some or much of this faith, that church
is being "unequally yoked" with an infidel organization,
an organization of "Belial", who is equated with Satan
or Antichrist! -- Holman Bible Dictionary Online --
Furthermore, New Age authors make no bones about the fact
that they see the Ecumenical Movement as being the main tool
to bring Christian churches into the planned global New World
Order Religion. Listen to the way in which Master D.K. describes
the planned Ecumenical Movement, speaking through Alice Bailey,
in the book, "The Externalisation of the Hierarchy".
"Eventually, there will appear the Church Universal, and
its definite outlines will appear towards the end of this century.
This Church will be nurtured into activity by the Christ and
His disciples ... when the true second coming has been accomplished.
No date for the advent do I set, but the time will not be long.
The Christian church, in its many branches, can serve as a St.
John the Baptist, as a voice crying in the wilderness, and as
a nucleus through which world illumination may be accomplished
... Its work is intended to be the holding of a broad platform.
The church must show a wide tolerance, and teach no revolutionary
doctrines or cling to any reactionary ideas ... The prime work
of the church is to teach, and teach ceaselessly, preserving
the outer appearance in order to reach the many who are accustomed
to church usages ... the sacraments must be mystically interpreted
..." -- Page 510-511. Did you fully understand what the
demon, Master D.K., has just revealed? Eventually, the global
church of the Christ -- Antichrist -- , which he has called the
Church Universal, will arise toward the "end of this century".
But, first, the Christian Church must serve as a preparatory
force to change the old, "reactionary" church, which
has promoted "revolutionary doctrines" into a new,
combined church which holds forth a "broad platform"
that shows a "wide tolerance". However, while this
change is going on, the Christian Churches must "preserve
their outer appearance" in order to deceive those who need
to still believe they are serving Jesus Christ!! Does this not
fully explain the current Ecumenical Movement? It holds forth
a "broad platform" and shows a "wide tolerance"
while still pretending to be Christian! And, as Master D.K. so
eloquently states, the ultimate aim is to produce the Church
Universal of the Christ -- Antichrist.
This section, quoted above, makes me think of several Scriptures
which speak directly to this terrible situation facing us today,
embodied in the Ecumenical Movement. 1) Jesus warns, in Matthew
7:13-14, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life ..." The
"broad" way which Jesus stated leads to Hell is the
same "broad platform" of which Master D.K. speaks,
above. This "broad" road means that anyone can believe
and practice anything, and still will think it will lead them
to Heaven. This is precisely the belief of the Freemasons, of
which Billy Graham is a part. They believe that all religions
are equally valid, and that all roads lead to Heaven. The main
enemy is the Fundamentalist Christian who insists upon following
the "narrow way" that leads to eternal life! 2) Jesus
warned that, in the Last Days, religious deception would be unparalleled.
a) Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you."
b) Matthew 24:10, "And then shall many be offended, and
shall betray one another, and shall hate one another And many
false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." Isn't
this precisely the effect which the Ecumenical Movement has had
upon the Christian Church? Beginning in 1910, when the National
Council of Churches was founded, many "religious leaders"
became offended at the simple, profound, and miraculous Truth
of the Gospel, and they began to hatefully attack those leaders
who held to these Truths. But, these "false prophets"
persisted, and have led many away from the Gospel, deceiving
them tremendously. They have paved the way for the coming Antichrist,
just as John the Baptist paved the way for Jesus Christ. Master
D.K. knew whereof he spoke. c) Matthew 24:24, "For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect." This deception would
become more clever and more persuasive, until the only ones who
are NOT deceived are those who are the Elect of God, those who
are truly Born Again! We are at this point right now!
Finally, did you notice Master D.K.'s assertion that the "sacraments
must be mystically interpreted"? When he is speaking of
the "sacraments" he is including the whole of Scripture,
as well. Thus it is that the entire Bible has been "mystically
interpreted". Go into any New Age bookstore and you will
discover books about Jesus' "Lost Years", or about
His "Secret Teachings", or about the revelations of
the "Akrashic record". These are all systematic efforts
to "mystically" reinterpret Scripture, so the New Ager
now has a mystical answer for every valid doctrine of Scripture.
This is unparalleled deception, and its very existence is proof
we are living in the Last Days.]
F. Billy Graham -- Enthusiastic Friend
of Rome "Dr. Graham is an ardent admirer and supporter of
the Pope with whom he has regular and warm liaison ... On another
occasion, he said that he believed the Pope to be 'God's instrument
for revival in our generation' ... It is now 'normal' for Roman
Catholic nuns and priests to support Billy Graham Crusades by
training counselors for, and being personally involved in, the
crusades." [Cutting Edge Commentary: In NEWS1052, "Seminar
Notes: House of Theosophy, 8/18/91", we reveal that the
New World Order Plan has chosen the Roman Catholic Pope to be
its head religious leader of the Church Universal of Antichrist!
This leadership post places the Roman Catholic Pope as the False
Prophet of Revelation 13:11-18. And naming the Pope to this position
is consistent with the prophecy of Revelation 13:11 that he will
have "two horns like a lamb", meaning that he will
present himself to a believing world as a Christian leader. Most
non-Fundamentalist people today believe the Pope is a Christian.
Billy Graham certainly aids and abets this false perception,
doesn't he? Therefore, Billy Graham is helping Revelation 13:11
to be literally fulfilled, isn't he? And, if Graham is aiding
the False Prophet, then his activities are aiding Antichrist,
as well.
G. Billy Graham's "Converts"
Sent Back To Their Unbiblical Churches " 'Converts at Billy
Graham Crusades are sent to 'churches of their choice' without
any sort of spiritual distinction. This results in their being
sent to liberal-modernist churches, as well as Roman Catholic
churches; newborn babes are being fed with DOCTRINAL POISON."
Another Fundamentalist author, E.L. Bynum, states in his pamphlet,
"Why We Cannot Support The Billy Graham Crusade": "But
as a matter of conscience, we cannot endorse the ministry of
Billy Graham, nor can we cooperate in a Billy Graham Crusade.
Our reasons are based upon the World of God!! We cannot remain
silent when this ministry of compromise is being used to destroy
the very foundations of the Christian faith. There is a reason
why apostates and carnal religious leaders are so enthusiastic
about their support of Billy Graham. Billy Graham is pumping
warm blood into the dead ecumenical movement and helping to build
the coming one world church. When the ecumenical liberals hit
a snag in bringing about organic union of the denominations,
they saw in Billy Graham an opportunity to break down the stubborn
bars of separation, through the medium of evangelism. It is working
quite well for them."
I had never thought of the fact that Billy Graham began his
popular evangelistic ministry at just the time when the liberal
churches were beginning to lose so many members that they were
afraid of going out of existence. Graham's ministry has truly
infused new lifeblood into these dying liberal churches.
At this point, we must reiterate that we do not find much
fault with what Billy Graham SAYS during his sermons. He does
preach the True Gospel message, and we are sure that many, many
people have been truly saved during his Crusades. However, we
do find much to fault him for the liberal, modernistic, and apostate
people and organizations with which he constantly associates
and supports. And, when his organization sends a brand new baby
Christian to one of these apostate churches for follow-up training,
that baby Christian will certainly be quickly turned into a good
New World Order Christian, quite capable of supporting Antichrist
when he arises!!
The fact that we now have been told by the Louisiana Masonic
Family that Billy Graham is a Freemason, we see yet another sign
that the End of the Age is upon us. Graham is a counterfeit Christian,
probably the best ever. Does he not know that he is fulfilling
the Biblical prophecies of unparalleled religious deception,
deception so good that even the Elect would be deceived were
it not for the power of the Holy Spirit revealing the Truth to
the true believers? We need to really pray for Billy Graham and
everyone in his organization!!
The End of the Age is so close we can hear the hoof beats
of the approaching Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse [Revelation
6]. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately
protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry,
to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then
help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones.
Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your
knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved
person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen
people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times
are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ,
making an eternal difference. If you have accepted Jesus Christ
as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your
spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for
forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and
fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need
to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have
come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age,
and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also
do so now, in the privacy of your home.
Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again,
and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then,
you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not
touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again,
turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks
to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New
World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
