From: An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and Its Kindred Sciences," etc. by Albert G. Mackey, M.D., Thirty-Third Degree, [Mackey is considered by Freemasons to be a foremost expert concerning Freemasonry; it's history and practices] Volume I, published by the Masonic History Company, Chicago, New York, & London, 1925, Volume One, pp. 392-95:
"This Order, which at various times in the progress of its history received the names of Knights Hospitalers, Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights of Rhodes, and lastly, Knights of Malta, was one of the most important of the religious and military orders of Catholic, knighthood which sprang into existence during the Crusades, which were instituted to conquer the Holy Land. It owes its origin to the Hospitalers of Jerusalem, that wholly religious and charitable Order which was established at Jerusalem, in 1048, by pious merchants of Amalfi for the succor of poor and distressed Latin pilgrims.... [big section on its history over nine centuries]
"The Organization of the Order in its days of prosperity was very complicated, partaking of both a monarchial and a republican character. Over all presided a Grand Master, who, although invested with extensive powers, was still controlled by the legislative action of the General Chapter....
"...There are now two bodies-one Catholic and the other Protestant, but each repudiates the other....[on the surface for appearances only] "The degree of Knight of Malta is conferred in the United States as "an appendant Order" in a Commandery of Knights Templar. There is a ritual attached to the degree, but very few are in possession of it, and it is generally communicated after the candidate has been created a Knights Templar...." [end of quote]
The Knights of Malta are the militia of the Pope, and are sworn to total obedience by a blood oath which is taken extremely seriously and to the death. The Pope as the head of the Vatican is also the head of a foreign national power.
As a member of the Knights of Malta, and by virtue of your blood oath of obedience to the Pope, you are required to support to the death the desires of the head of the Order of the Knights of Malta-in this case, Pope Benedict XVI -over and above any other allegiance you may feel or pretend to feel toward any other loyalty-such as a loyalty to the Constitution for the united States of America.
Those who are presently members of the Knights of Malta must on penalty of death support those policies advocated by the Vatican. It is not hard for them to do this. They BELIEVE in these policies and principles. The polices which are espoused and proclaimed by the office of the Pope are as follows: 1. End of sovereignty for the United States and other countries. 2. End of absolute property rights. 3. End of all gun rights. 4. The new international economic Order (world government). 5. The redistribution of wealth and jobs. 6. Calls for nations to trust the United Nations. 7. Total disarmament. 8. Promote the United Nations as the hope for peace. 9. Promote UNESCO, the deadly educational and cultural arm of the United Nations. 10. Promote interdependence. 11. Support sanctions honoring Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin-the New Age Humanist Priest. 12. Support the belief that the economic principle of traditional Christian or Catholic social doctrine is the economic principle of communism. 13. Promote the Pope as the acting go-between for the United States and the Soviet Union." (excerpted from http://www.sherryshriner.com/malta.htm
If this is truly their agenda, number 12 above, indicates their ultimate goal of global, communist totalitarianism to subjegate the general population! These are reportedly the goals of the highest orders of the New World Odor Freemasons, Jesuits and the "Knights of Malta/ Templar," the last three being inexorably married [nothing like a little pun?] to each other and have a 'blood oath' allegiance, to the pope. There are plenty of books and web sites that document their works BUT if that wasn't bad enough, many of their evil tentacles of influence (their agents and provocateurs) stretch into many of the popular "christian" movements that have great followings in America. Benny Hinn and several other apostate leaders of the "Faith" and counterfeit prophetic movements, are associated with the Knights of Malta.
"It seems that Benny Hinn's assignment in the Templars’ current Crusade is "to get the US Evangelical leaders to be in favour of the Middle East Peace Process." The ICR Middle East Update from Knight Templar Andrew White dated 13th February 2004 stated: "Benny had phoned me whilst in the US last week stating that he wanted to meet me soon. It just so happened we were both in Dubai the same day. This was in relation to our need to get the US Evangelical leaders to be in favour of the Middle East Peace Process. We met at his hotel for breakfast on Thursday morning. He explained that he had heard much about our work and wanted to support it. He has also said that he will come to Israel with us ASAP. Both the Israelis and Palestinians are very keen that he should come on board with the Alexandria Process."
So Benny Hinn is participating in the deceptive peace process which will mislead the Jews to receive a false Christ, who will drive them from the Holy Land which will then become the headquarters of said Antichrist who will place the Abomination of Desolation in the Temple (Matt. 24:16) and proclaim himself to be God. "...that man of sin...the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." (II Thes.2:3-4) Evangelical Christians seem strangely ignorant of these end-time prophecies, judging from their support for the Antichrist's program with millions of dollars in donations to ministries like Benny Hinn’s -- $$$$$$ that will be spent rebuilding the Masonic Temple of Solomon.
Documentation of Benny Hinn's collaboration with this Antichrist organization with links to the UN, CFR and the Jesuits has been submitted by Dennis Rhodes of Australia.
The Anglican Templar organization with Jesuit leadership that Benny works with also promotes Christian reconciliation with homosexuals and the ordination of homosexuals as ministers, priests and bishops. The Knights Templar were the powerful medieval chivalric order from which the present orders of Freemasonry evolved. They claim to be working to restore traditional values, however, the evidence of history presents a rather different testimony as to moral values of the Templars. Dr. Cathy Burns wrote of the homosexual proclivities of the medieval Templars in her book, Hidden Secrets of the Eastern Star:
"In the book entitled 'The Guilt of the Templars', we are told that 'the Knights Templars' confessions show them to have been basically homosexual warrior order...' Other charges were that the Knights Templar participated in black magic and pederasty (anal intercourse, usually with a boy). They practiced 'phallicism or sex-worship and Satanism and venerated 'The Baphomet,' the idol of the Luciferians. The crime of sodomy was a rite of Templar initiation." (p.104) [Are these perhaps the same evil "doctrines" that are at the root of the horrendous pederasty scandals that have plagued the Catholic Church for decades, perhaps centuries?]
Independent confirmation of the most respected Masonic, occult adept: Albert Pike, openly admitted in his book, 'Morals and Dogma', the true nature of the Knights Templar, which was deception and duplicity:
""The Templars, like all other Secret Orders and Associations, had two doctrines, one concealed and reserved for the Masters . . . the other public . . . Thus they deceived the adversaries whom they sought to supplant." (Morals and Dogma, 817-818).
Are the Jesuits the descendants of the Knights Templar and the repository of their secret dogmas? Their historic acts certainly indicate a level of unequaled skulldugery and duplicity.
The whole system of Jesuitism remains unchanged today and is well summed up in the words chosen by the French Parliament as the inscription on a column erected in Paris in commemoration of the Jesuit plot against the life of King Henry IV. It declares the plot to have "sprung from the pestilent heresy of that pernicious sect the Jesuits, who, concealing the most abominable crimes under the guise of piety, had publicly taught the assassination of Kings […]". [Quoted in Anon.: The Secret Instructions of the Jesuits, London, 1824, p. viii.]
"The duty of Christians is clear: it is to expose the Jesuits and to pray for their destruction. Queen Mary is reported to have said that she feared the prayers of John Knox more than an army of 20,000 men. Prayer is a never-failing weapon against the secret attacks of the ambushed enemy. The Jesuit cannot hide from God: there is no counsel against the Lord through cunning, duplicity, immorality or bloodthirstiness. The Jesuit is the fanatical promoter of a lying, murderous, blasphemous system which has sullied the pages of history with its diabolism. Its seat is at the Vatican and it is the greatest enemy of the Gospel and of humanity that the Devil has ever loosed on earth."source
