The Hidden Connection Between Mormon Temples and Freemasonry - Standing in His Grace Video #9

本站添加: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Hi everybody. Uh we'd like to thank everybody for joining us with Standing in His Grace. Today we're going to be talking about the hidden connection between Mormon temples and Freemasonry.

[00:00:11]We were always told that the LDS endowment was similar to the Freemasonry, but we were we were also told that Joseph Smith restored it to its true and its pure form. Well, as we've researched this topic, we realized that the temple ceremony is Masonic and we were making masonic oath without even realizing it. Today, we were we are going to explore more of the similarities. And as you watch this video, ask yourself if the Lord would really want you to make these types of oaths in the temple. Um, I'm going to turn the time over to uh Tina because she is she's done a lot of the uh study and the research on this while I've been uh sick and so I'm going to let her just kind of run the show today.

[00:01:03]>> Hi everyone.

[00:01:05]Okay. So, today we're going to discuss uh the Mormon temple and Freemasonry like he mentioned. And one of the first things that we noticed as we've been studying church history for quite a while now, we know that there's documents in the Joseph Smith papers that show that he was inducted into Freemasonry and he became a master mason very quickly. And the documents say that he attended Masonic lodge meetings in Nauvoo where the Nauvoo House was used for public purposes during that time.

[00:01:39]But from what we could find, the endowment was taken over by Brigham Y.

[00:01:42]Young after the murder of Joseph Smith.

[00:01:45]So based off our research, we see that Brigham. Young significantly changed the ceremony after Joseph's death. We know he did a lot of things in the name of Joseph so that he could set things up the way he wanted it. Brigham would say Joseph told him to do a lot of things so that he could do what he wanted and he used Joseph's name for his own purposes.

[00:02:07]We found out that Bighgam doctorred a lot of documents and changed history and said Joseph Smith said a lot of things that were not true. So it's difficult to know how much truly came from Joseph Smith and how much truly came from Brigham Young.

[00:02:23]So you can see here in the history of the church, it shows us that Brigham Young said, I quote, "I commence revising the history of Joseph Smith at brother Richard's office. Elder Huber C.

[00:02:36]Kimell and George A. Smith were with me." And you can also see in this other quote, feel free to pause the video as you go so you can read these quotes because we won't be reading the full thing. But he did talk about how um he said that brother Joseph turned to me and said, "Brother Bigham, this is not arranged, right? But we have done the best we could under the circumstances in which we are placed. And I wish you to take this matter in hand and organize and systematize all these ceremonies with the signs, tokens, penalties, and keywords. I did so and each time I got something more so that when we went through the temple at Nabu, I understood and knew how to place them there. We had our ceremonies pretty correct.

[00:03:24]>> Most likely Joseph did not tell him to do a lot of these things. He he tended to try to um justify a lot of things and trying to say that Joseph Smith was the one that said a lot of the things and put a lot of things into place. But you can also see here where we have the arrow pointing that he has a masonic symbol on his shirt to show that he was a mason as well. So that's a picture of Brigham Young.

[00:03:53]One of the first things that we've noticed, we're just going to go through some of the things that we've seen within the temple and how they relate to Freemasonry.

[00:04:02]And one of the first things that we noticed were the aprons.

[00:04:06]The LDS temple goers wear a green apron and it has nine fig leaves on it and the masons wear an apron as well when they're doing their ceremonies.

[00:04:19]So, it's also interesting. Lucifer tells the people in the LDS temple ceremony to put on the apron. So, they're obeying Lucifer, but then as they continue forward and are given instructions to put on their robes, they're still told to keep the apron on over the robes.

[00:04:37]And also notice the devil also has a Masonic apron in the old temple ceremony.

[00:04:42]If you notice down at the bottom, this was from one of the old temple ceremonies. It says, "Enter devil from back room." Usually wearing a silk hat, carrying a cane and having on a masonic apron with the pillars surmounted by the balls. So, we put a sample of it here on the right. You can see uh the Masonic apron with the pillars and the balls on top of it.

[00:05:06]>> Yeah, that that's a relation to the cabal there um as well. And then you can see the Alan eye on those aprons in blue. Um there's of course there's a there's a lot of different uh symbolism there. And if you look closely, you might even see a serpent or a snake with the eyes and the teeth there. Um when you're looking at that also on the apron, the fig leaves you mentioned nine. There's actually three layers of nine there. So it's like 999 on those leaves um as you go through. So, if you think about 999 and then flip those upside down, that has the the same uh symbol as the 666 or the sign of the devil.

[00:05:54]The first handshake within the LDS church is called the first token of the ironic priesthood. Uh within Freemasonry, it's called Boaz or the grip of an entered apprentice. So you can see this is a picture from a website that's uh trying to warn about Freemasonry.

[00:06:14]It's showing you what it looks like and you can see how similar it is to the handshake that's within the LDS temple.

[00:06:22]And if you look on the right where it tells you what they say within the Freemasonry, it's very similar to the LDS temple. Uh it says, "What is that? A grip of what? of an entered apprentice.

[00:06:38]Has it a name? It has. Will you give it to me? I did not so receive it, neither will I. So in part. So you can see that's very similar. If you've been through the temple, you'll see how similar that is. And it says down below there too that Boaz my brother is the name of of this grip and should always be given in the customary manner by the letter uh lettering or having when lettering always commenced with the letter A.

[00:07:06]>> So they're given a name just like in the temple you're given the new name during this first handshake.

[00:07:13]So before 1990 they had a penalty associated with the name and sign. They even said it to keep the secrecy of this name or sign. So, it's a secret. It's not sacred. I remember growing up always saying how sacred it was that we're not supposed to talk about it outside the temple because it's sacred. But if you go look at the transcripts, it's actually secret.

[00:07:38]>> Yeshua doesn't keep secrets.

[00:07:41]>> And so, you can see here the first one was before 1990. If it's in green, that means they added the wording after 1990.

[00:07:49]If it's in red and crossed out, that means it was in the endowment before 1990.

[00:07:55]So, you can see in the red it says uh with accompanying name, sign, and penalty, rather than do so, I would suffer my life to be taken. So, they're saying they would rather die than reveal the secrets. And the second one is from the Salt Lake Tribune's expose of February 9th, 1906. And it says, "We and each of us solemnly bind ourselves that we will not reveal any of the secrets of the first token of the ironic priesthood with its accompanying name sign or penalty. Should I do so, I agree that my throat may be cut from ear to ear and my tongue torn out by its roots."

[00:08:34]So pretty big penalty that they used to have in the temple. So to say that Joseph Smith was the one that put it into its pure form cuz I remember being told that oh well you know the Masons have something similar but Joseph Smith put it in its true form its pure form. So if penalties are the pure form why did they take them out later? And why would you want penalties in a pure form endowment?

[00:09:08]>> What's odd is they're getting them to agree upon attempted murder and potentially committing murder.

[00:09:16]That's I mean, why would they do that?

[00:09:17]That's that's just is wrong.

[00:09:22]>> And you can see here, this is in Freemasonry.

[00:09:25]Uh in the LDS temple, they made the same penalty sign before 1990. So this is from Freemasonry and the it's very similar the words I quote having my throat cut across my tongue torn out by its roots and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark where the tide es and flows twice in 24 hours should I ever knowingly violate this my inner apprentice objection obligation and you could see how they're pulling their hand across >> the throat >> the throat And they did this in the LDS temple. So this was before 1990 even back to 1906 like I mentioned before.

[00:10:10]Okay. Here's the second handshake in the LDS temple. It was called the >> well it was called the second token of the ironic priesthood.

[00:10:20]>> And in Freemasonry it's called the shibileth passcript of a fellow craft. So this is the handshake for them and the thumb goes in between the first and second knuckle for both Freemasons and LDS temple ordinances.

[00:10:38]And you could see here before 1990 it said I will now explain the covenant and obligation of secrecy. There they are showing it's a secrecy again. And you can see where there's a penalty as well.

[00:10:52]In the 1906 one, it says, as I quote, "We and each of us do solemnly promise and bind ourselves never to reveal any of the secrets of this priesthood with its accompanying name, sign, grip, or penalty. Should we do so, we agree that our breasts may be torn open, our hearts and vitals torn out, and given to the birds of the air, and the beast of the field." End of quote.

[00:11:16]And we are not in agreement with any of these. I will say that right now as we are quoting we are not in agreement with any of this. So you can see this penalty is very similar to the sign of a fellow craft.

[00:11:31]However having having members make this oath like Shannon mentioned is basically >> attempted murder. Yeah, >> attempted murder.

[00:11:38]>> It it really is. I mean, that's what they're getting them to do is to agree that that uh if you reveal the secret that it's okay for them to kill you >> and that you're agreeing to that. That's I you know, I just I don't understand why any member of the church would agree to something like that. I mean, that should have been exposed years ago. That the fact that this has carried on for this many years, this many decades.

[00:12:06]>> Yeah. And you know, nobody's done anything about it. It just it's odd to me.

[00:12:13]>> Yeah. And they definitely watered it down a lot after 1990 to where people had no idea that this was in there. And before 1990, I am just surprised people agree to it.

[00:12:24]>> Yeah. Why would you ever agree to that?

[00:12:26]I just and maybe you know for a lot of people it could have been maybe the time and those days and and um you know peer pressure when they're together uh as a group I think that has something to do with it and >> yeah because you usually have like a big event just before you go through the temple uh whether it's a marriage or or going on a mission. So even if you go through it and you think it's really strange, you're at that point where you're like, "Oh, I have to leave on my mission or I have to get married, so I have to do this." You know? So a lot of people probably after they've gone through it talk themselves out of it just cuz they and they've always been taught you want to go through the temple like it's beautiful and >> Yeah. And it's the one thing too when especially where a lot of people when they go through the temple the first time um a lot of them will say the same thing that that that felt very odd or it felt like a cult. It felt really weird and we'll talk about that more about why it it seemed so weird but it used to be a lot worse in the earlier days and uh we have proof of that. Some people say that that never happened, but in reality it did happen. And we we have evidence of that and we're going to show the proof of that.

[00:13:43]>> And you can see here uh with the Freemasonry, the wording was very similar to the one that I just read to you. You can pause and read it yourself.

[00:13:51]I hate reading it just cuz I'm not in agreement with any of it, but I do want you guys to know about it.

[00:13:59]And you could see here on the picture, it's showing you how they did the sign or the penalty. And they did those same penalties within the LDS temple as well.

[00:14:10]So it's not just in Freemasonry that they did these signs.

[00:14:13]>> Yeah. And they would do, you know, quickly um cross have their arm like across the body um kind of like opening up the bowels, right? And then the hand drops or the dropping of the hand to the side kind of representing that it's all fallen out.

[00:14:29]>> Yeah, >> it's been torn out.

[00:14:32]>> Okay. So, we couldn't find anything similar for the handshake with the first token of the MKZDIC priesthood, but we did notice the penalties were very similar to the Freemasonry penalties.

[00:14:45]So, you can see here this one says name sign and penalty. Rather than do so, I'd suffer my life to be taken. 1906, it says, "You and each of you do come out and promise that you will never reveal this any of the secrets of the priesthood with this accompanying name, sign, and penalty. Should you do so, you agree that your body may be cut us aunder and all your bowels gushed out?"

[00:15:09]>> And again, all this was a lot of that was done before 1990.

[00:15:14]>> And you can see this is similar to the sign of a master mason. Uh they had the same thing where their bells would be removed and burned to ashes if they reveal any of their tokens or signs.

[00:15:29]And they did these same things in the temple. All right. So this one, this is the mahab bone, the real grip of a master mason. You can see how similar it is to the the last handshake within the LDS temple.

[00:15:44]>> Yeah. This is the the grip that leads to the five points of fellowship just like the Elas endowment.

[00:15:50]>> So it's also called the sure sign of the nail. And we did learn that the nail also is one of Satan's titles because of the nail that was put into Yeshua's hand. And you can see here the words are very similar.

[00:16:06]Has it a name? It has. Will you give it to me? Place yourself in the proper position to receive it and I will. So then they put themselves into the five points of fellowship which is foot to foot, knee to knee, breast to breast, hand to back and cheek to cheek or mouth to ear.

[00:16:23]And then they would say it ma bone. So you can see how the five points of fellowship are similar. They've definitely watered it down now from what it used to be, but they did have the five points of fellowship in the temple, but a lot of women were complaining that they felt uncomfortable with it. So they did water it down quite a bit. So >> notice the similarity here to the grip of they call it the grip of the master or the lion's paw. Has it a name? It has. Will you give it to me? You hear those same same words a lot of the same type of words in the in the temple with you know uh has it a name? It has will you give it to me?

[00:17:05]>> Yeah. Very similar.

[00:17:06]>> It's it's almost identical if not perfectly identical. So this this is showing the sign of the nail though. Um so there was the nail in the hand and they they say in the temple that the reason for having the sure sign of the nail or the nail in the wrist is so that uh you know they did that so that Yeshua's uh hands would not rip through or or tear uh through. And so that that symbol with that grip with the index finger on the wrist is indicating that sure sign of that nail, >> which is interesting because it's not even in the Bible. It only just talks about the nail in the hands for Jesus in the Bible.

[00:17:49]>> Yeah. We also noticed it's really interesting how some of the top leaders of the LDS church also know these masonic hand signs as well as super or Spider-Man and uh Bush.

[00:18:04]>> Yeah, Spider-Man with President Ukdorf there. You can see he's got his finger on that that wrist area there. And then also he's notice President Bush has got his fingers. It looks like he's almost got two fingers there. uh with President Monson, but it's on his wrist. And President Bush was uh also a member of the Skull and Bones, and that was that was revealed while he was the president of the United States. And so there there are connections to the me the Skull and Bones and the Masons with the LS Church.

[00:18:40]>> Here's a picture of the five points of fellowship within Freemasonry.

[00:18:44]Uh in the in the endowment, you have to go to the bell to receive this. Uh there's a veil between you and the man on the other side, but the similar similarities are very close. And I took the screenshot from the old one where it says has a name it has. Will you give it to me? I cannot for I have not yet received it. For this purpose I have come to converse with the Lord behind the veil. And then it says, you shall receive it upon the points of fellowship through the veil. They are foot to foot, knee to knee, breast to breast, hand to back and mouth to ear.

[00:19:19]So this was from the old temple endowment. So it's the exact same wording as far as the five points of fellowship >> and very very similar now through the LDS temple. They they have a a bell or a curtain between them and they have to reach through the the holes of the cuts or the slits that are made in in that veil are Freemason symbols that the same that were are worn on the garment that every endowed member of the church who is has gone through and done endowments or wear ceremonies in the church. They wear those those garments uh with the same ma masonic symbols on them the square and the compass.

[00:20:03]So this one uh is the in the temple they would go to they pull their hands to the top and then they lower their hands down three times and they when we were there they would say oh Lord hear the words my mouth and they would say that three times but originally they would say pel l and they're saying that was the adamic language that meant oh lord hear the words of my mouth The thing that's interesting though is that when he says this, when they're saying, "Oh Lord, hear the words of my mouth."

[00:20:40]Lucifer enters.

[00:20:44]>> Yeah. So, you think about that in the temple, how now they they do that. Uh it's what they call a prayer circle and and they go through and and they have you raise your hands up in the air three times and lower them while saying, "Oh Lord, hear the words of my mouth." So, you know, they typically uh have the women put a bell over their face when they do this. That kind of represents some witchcraft when they do that. And then they have them do these hand symbols, the same hand symbol or the sign of the mail, handshake or the sign of mail when they're doing that.

[00:21:21]>> And everybody does that in a circle with the person on their left. and they go in a circle, you know, and they and they do this, but they raise their hands and then they say that. And so you wonder if they're also actually, you know, we always thought we were praying to >> our father in heaven.

[00:21:39]>> Our father in heaven, but uh you know, as as you can see with with Adam and Eve when they prayed and they did this, it it drew Satan to him. And so we kind of wonder if that's another satanic type of a worship. Well, in Freemasonry, it says, "Oh Lord, my God, is there no help for the widow's son?" But they can't do the words and the sign at the same time.

[00:22:03]So, if they're doing the hand sign, they cannot say the words. If they cannot do the hand sign, then they say those other words.

[00:22:13]Both the Freemasonry sign and the temple garments have similar reminders which are honesty and morality, exactness, as well as keeping passions within the bounds. Uh you can see on this old temple garment the square and compass on the breast of the garment and a ruler on the belly and button and the knee.

[00:22:34]>> You can see that that was uh kind of what the garments look like back, you know, in the late 1800s. Today they have uh different types of garments that you put on a lot thinner and kind of like for the men putting on t-shirts and and shorts but really kind of thin but it has all the marks on them and the women have the marks on theirs as well. And um >> and there was a lot >> it's definitely it's definitely a a square and compass marks >> and there was a lot of presidents of the church that said that these garments were never to be altered or changed.

[00:23:10]And you could see now how far the garments have come even to where they just had a big change in having the sleeves cut even shorter for women on the garments so that they could wear show their shoulder more.

[00:23:25]>> Yeah, that the shorts part of them has gotten shorter and then the shirts and the sleeves are disappearing particularly for the women.

[00:23:33]>> There's also a lot of Freemasonry signs on the temple. These are from the Salt Lake Temple.

[00:23:39]The Salt Lake Temple probably had some of the most signs on their temple. You can see the the beehive on holiness to the Lord. That beehive is Masonic.

[00:23:51]Uh the allseeing eye you can see is very similar to the eye of Horus.

[00:23:58]And then you could see the Star of David. That's actually a witchcraft sign. And they use it a lot in witchcraft and in Freemasonry >> and magic. Yeah. Lots of magicians use.

[00:24:11]>> You could see the upside down stars as well. The sun for sun god worship.

[00:24:18]>> The upside down stars. Uh whenever they have the upside down star like that, that is a uh a real symbol of the Luciferian or satanic uh cult or worship. They typically never do it upside down that way where that you've got one of the star points going straight down unless it is uh you know a luciferian or satanic one that if you look at it when it goes straight down and you've got the stars on going up that basically that's a representation of the goat with the horns and then the face going down. Then you can also see the eye there, the Egyptian eye. And down below, um, this is where the Alan eye actually comes from and their symbolism there too. So there's a lot of Egyptian type symbolism. If you think about Epstein's Island, it had the Egyptian lines on there, the the striped lines like that with the blue lines going down. And you'll see that all over. I mean, IBM has it their stripes going in different directions, but a lot of when you see a lot of these different um Egyptian symbols, too, just know that that's also part of the same type of uh cult.

[00:25:35]>> Another thing that's really interesting is that the LDS temples all say holiness to the Lord on it, but Freemasonry also says holiness to the Lord as well.

[00:25:46]That's one of their main things that they say as well. Yeah. And they took that Yeah. straight from the Masons.

[00:25:54]>> There's also three degrees between the LDS church and Freemasonry. The LDS church believes in tastial, terrestrial and celestial.

[00:26:04]>> These are different degrees of glory. Um so the celestial kingdom is the highest uh degree and then below that's the terrestrial and then below that's the celestial uh kingdom and then hell of course would be below that >> and freemasonry they believe in the entered apprentice fellow craft and master mason. So those are their three degrees. Uh they both use the star moon and sun. You can see in this picture from the Nauvoo, Illinois temple that you can see the moon, the stars, and then the sun in the middle.

[00:26:39]>> Yeah, if you blow that up and get closer to it, you'll be able to see that the star is also a satanic stars that are going across. Um, and then they show the moon all the way around in a kind of in a circular format there of the different stages of the moon that it goes through from from a full moon down to the crescent moon. And then you you have the sun worship or the sun god worship again in the form you notice of the pentagon.

[00:27:07]>> So this one I thought was really interesting. We had seen this video from scripture central where they went through the Masonic lodge or the Masonic temple. And when they went into the grand hall you could see how similar it is to the celestial room. All the chairs are set up almost identical. You can see the arches, the lights, the chandeliers.

[00:27:34]So, definitely go watch that one. You'll see a lot of things in that that are very similar to the LDS temple.

[00:27:41]There you can see on the left that the uh Masons, they use a lot more of the pictures of other famous uh uh masons and um they put a lot of additional pictures there, but the rest of it is pretty much set up the same. Of course, with the LDS temple, uh, you see a much cleaner, much whiter type of a look.

[00:28:02]And, uh, there's a lot of symbolism, too. When you think of a checkerboard, there's the black checkerboard and there's the white checkerboard. And, you know, there's a lot of symbolic symbols with the Masons and dealing with the checkerboards. And you can kind of look at that was the black is the Masonic side, the white would be the LDS side.

[00:28:24]So, this was one that Brigham Young put in after Joseph Smith's death. This is called the oath of vengeance. And these were just some of the strange things we noticed as we were going through documents uh in regards to the LDS temple ceremony. And this was one of them. and I quote, "You and each of you do covenant and promise that you will pray and never cease to pray to Almighty God to avenge the blood of the prophets upon this nation and that you will teach the same to your children and to your children's children unto the third and fourth generation." End of quote. And I am not in agreement with this as I quote this. Uh so they did have this oath of vengeance and in fact uh Smoot I think his name was Smoot. He uh was trying to be in the US Senate and they had to do a whole hearing on him that to see if he was even able to hold the US office of US Senate in Utah because of this oath of vengeance that they had in there. So here's another one that we thought was really strange as we were going through it. what they used to do in the dressing room with the initiatory.

[00:29:33]In the dressing room, all clothing is removed except excepting the garments and these are taken off and handed to one of the attendants as the candidate enters the bathtub. The man who attends to the washing rubs the head, the eyes, the ears, the mouth, the lips, the breasts, the vitals, the loins, the legs and the feet. This being done, the candidate leaves the tub, is hurdly wiped dry, and then mounts a stool where he is anointed with oil pouring from a ram's horn. The same parts being anointed that were washed as previously.

[00:30:08]He then stands while a man places his garments over his shoulders, telling him that these garments are a pattern of those which the Lord gave to Adam in the Garden of Eden, telling him further that they must not be removed and that they will prove of protection in time of danger. with the garments. He whispers into the candidate's ear a new name, usually one taken from the Bible, and is instructed never to reveal this name to any person except as it may be required at one point during the temple ceremony.

[00:30:36]If he's working for the dead, he is informed that when he is through the temple ceremony, the name may be forgotten as it is the property of the dead and not his own. The candidate then goes back to the dressing room where he puts on a shirt and a pair of white pants, also white stockings. He carries with him a bundle containing robe, cap, sandals, and apron.

[00:30:58]>> This is where many of the members should have left the church right away. Um the fact that they would allow them to anoint them with oil. They touched every single part of their body. I mean, the the private >> the men did the men and the women did the women.

[00:31:13]>> Yeah. Women did it for the women. Yep.

[00:31:15]And men for men. But still allowing them to do that all over the body. They I don't know why anybody would agree to that whatsoever. That many people should have left the church at that point.

[00:31:26]>> And we've seen this in several accounts.

[00:31:28]So, we know that this really was one thing that did take place cuz many people many of the things that we've read from the past talk about this.

[00:31:37]>> Yes, this is this actually did happen and and they they did perform these.

[00:31:42]>> Okay. Hey, there were also swords in the temple, which I thought was interesting.

[00:31:47]In in the endowment, it says, "Let cherubam and a flaming sword be placed to guard the way of the tree of life. A sword is waved through the curtain.

[00:31:56]Eve, who has been standing in the left side of the elevator, looks up at the sword and crosses over to Adam and places herself on his left hand." So, they used to do that. They used to have live ceremonies. Uh now, and then they changed them to video ceremonies and now I think they're just pictures. I don't know. We haven't been there for years, so I'm not sure how they're set up now. But in the live ceremonies, they would put the the sword through the curtain. And then also in a book called On the History of Utah, >> uh it also says, "The men approach this door and turn and ask to enter. Then a person behind the door reaches through the opening and with knife in hand cuts a certain mark on the left breast of the shirt, another over the abdomen and one over the right knee. Which marks are faithfully copied by the women in their own garments after returning to their homes. So they're saying that they would have a knife that would cut the garments while they were there. This is just an AI picture that we made just to give you an example of what it looked like, but they did use swords and it says they used a knife to cut the garments on the men.

[00:33:09]And then we also found this uh this is from the Myra Telegram December 29th, 1889 where they see it talk about what takes place within the temple.

[00:33:20]And it says here, and I quote, "Here all the hearts are laid open, all desires revealed, and all traitors made known. In counsel of the gods, it has been decreed that here the faithless must die, some enter here with evil intent, but none with evil intent go beyond this spell or return alive. If here they practice deceit, if one among you knows ought of treachery in his heart, we charge him now to speak, while yet he may and live. Brethren, an ordeal awaits you. Let the pure have no fear.

[00:33:51]The falsehearted quake. Each shall pass under the searching hand, and the spirit of the Lord decides for his own. The candidates, one by one, are stretched on their backs on the altar, and the priest passes a large knife or razor across their throats. The priests teach that if anyone is false-hearted, the spirit will now reveal it to their instant death.

[00:34:12]The long list of murdered apostates and Gentiles whose bloody taking off at the hands of the saints has crimsoned the pages of Mormon history revealed the terrible and senator sinister significance of all these oaths and penalties.

[00:34:27]This was from the red telegram. I'm not sure this was the only account I found of it. So, I'm not 100% sure that this was in the Temple O, but I thought it was really interesting that they had that in there as well.

[00:34:43]>> Yeah, the fact that they actually published that uh tells you there must have been some truth to it because you don't you don't typically uh publish stuff unless there was some type of truth to that.

[00:34:55]>> The Adam God theory, if you've haven't heard about the Adam God theory, this is one of Brigham Young. Young's things. He first taught about it in a sermon delivered at the tabernacle in Salt Lake City. It says April 9th, 1852.

[00:35:10]And he said that Adam is our father and our God and the only God with whom we have to do. And even today, there's still remnants of the Adam God theory in the temple. Uh in the temple, they have a man or a god named Michael that helps to form the earth. And we're told that this is Adam. And they're he's helping to create the world. Thus, they're making him a god that created the earth before coming down in the form of Adam.

[00:35:40]And you could see also they would always have a lecture at the bell. So they'd they'd be in these ceremonies for eight or nine hours. So they're really long ceremonies. And during it, they would have a lecture at the bell. And in it, they would say that Adam was not made of the dust of the earth, but begotten the same as other men. That the creation of Adam was done by a figure just to show you how man was made. And that when he came here, he brought one of his wives with him. So they would teach that Adam had many wives, but only brought one down to earth with him.

[00:36:18]>> Interesting.

[00:36:20]>> And this one, LDS and the Freemasons both believe that they can one day become gods. And you can see here in the Old Temple endowment back in 1906, it says that after the man goes through the bell, uh, he becomes Elohim and instructs the woman through the bell, his wife or wives back then because they had polygamy back then. And there's also Freemasonry in other places within the LDS church. You can see relief society.

[00:36:54]Uh you can see the laurels on the side.

[00:36:56]Those are those little leaf things.

[00:36:58]Those are called laurels. Uh go look up that word within Freemasonry. It's definitely a word used in Freemasonry.

[00:37:06]And you could see the little um >> Illuminati.

[00:37:09]>> Illuminati torch there >> that is also a symbol of Lucifer.

[00:37:16]And you can also see the one on the right was actually taken from one of from an old young women's thing that I found when I was cleaning the basement.

[00:37:26]And you can see the laurels on each of the sides. The beehive which is masonic and you can see uh the flower in the middle but the laurels and the beehive are masonic.

[00:37:39]And thank you to our friend who helped us to learn that freemasonry.

[00:37:45]Freemasonry is actually rooted from the Cabala, which is Jewish mysticism and which is basically witchcraft.

[00:37:55]So if you go look it up, we we do have a bunch of links on this so that you can go do your own research. We really want you to do your own research so you know for yourself and and you can see the truth of the matter on your own. So we will have links on our website for this.

[00:38:11]And Albert Pike, he was a 33rd degree Mason. He was one of the people that showed that Freemasonry is actually worshiping Lucifer. And this is a quote by him. And it says, "That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a god, but it is the god that one adors without superstition. To you, sovereign grand inspectors general, we say this, that you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees. The Masonic religion should be by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine. If Lucifer was not God, would Adona, Jesus, column, columnate, spread false, and harmful statements about him? Yes, Lucifer is God." End of quote. So, one question I did want to ask on this before we move to the next slide is if Albert Pike is saying that the Freemasons are worshiping Lucifer and the Mormon temple endowment is very similar to Freemasonry.

[00:39:21]Then what does that mean that they are worshiping when they go to the temple within the LDS church?

[00:39:26]>> Yeah, they created and changed it. They basically were stealing this information from the Masons, creating their own.

[00:39:32]>> Yeah. Okay. One of the things within Freemasonry is they have as above so below. And you can see here that in 1892 was when the first angel Moroni was put on the temple. And then in 1894, Lady Colia was placed upon the Salt Lake, one of the Salt Lake buildings.

[00:39:58]>> Yeah. One of the state buildings, the government.

[00:40:00]>> Yeah, the state buildings. And there's a link that we're going to share from the Tro show that you'll definitely want to go watch on Lady Colia so that you can understand the significance of Lady Colombia and uh Angel Moroni. But you can see here with the baffomet how his hands are the one on the right as above so below. So they always have one hand high and one hand low. And you could see on the statue on the state building has one hand high, one hand low. And also on the angel Moroni, one hand high and one hand low, meaning as above so below. But we definitely want you to go watch that link on Lady Colombia. We will have that on our website so that you can understand a little bit more how this relates.

[00:40:54]>> And this is uh you know, if you look on the right there too with the goat head, you notice the Illuminati torch there at the top. And then you've got the horns or also the the um satanic type worship there, right? And then you see the star as as above. He's pointing at the the moon on one side and his other hand is pointing at the moon below as well. And then you have the shield, the sword, the snakes.

[00:41:24]Um that there's a lot of uh additional symbolic things that are inappropriate in relation to that. But you do see this the star too on his forehead. All of those have different symbols. So the lady lady liberty, lady Columbia. So that on the Statue of Liberty, you notice she also has the Illuminati torch. Um if you look at her feet is in chains as well. And the figure of you know Lady Liberty um and and the Statue of Liberty, you notice it can also look like a man as well. And they have these statues all over uh you know the the world in different places around the world. And so there's a lot of symbolism in relation to this as above is so >> so you can see we mentioned the sun moon and stars earlier you can see it on the bimet as well like Shannon mentioned.

[00:42:24]So and also the significance of the east. So most of the angel moronis are facing the east uh as well as freemasonry. If you go back to our last video where we talked about Easter and and sun god worship, the east is very connected to uh sun god worship which Freemasonry is a part of as well. So it's another indication as far as the angel Moroni facing the east and we'll also have some other links on that that help to describe the east.

[00:43:00]>> Yeah.

[00:43:01]You say that's also relation to Lucifer.

[00:43:04]Again, >> we were always told that the LDS temple ceremonies came from Solomon's temple and that they were restored. But it's interesting that Freemasonry also uses Solomon's temple in their story. Uh, one question I do have is where is the proof that these ceremonies came from Solomon's temple? We've never seen proof, only legends. And it's also interesting that Hyram in the Freemason story was murdered and Joseph Smith was also murdered. And Hyram, he was the chief architect of Solomon's temple. And the whole freemasonry story is based off of Hyram.

[00:43:50]Uh, another thing we wanted to bring up within the LDS temple, I remember people always talking about how they felt their ancestors in the temple when they would go to the temple.

[00:44:02]One thing we learned after we left the temple that this was actually uh necromancy which is contacting the dead and it can also be referred to as divination, sorcery or spiritism.

[00:44:16]And the Lord has told us to not be a part of this. In Levitical Leviticus 19:31, it says,"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God." And Shan, do you want to read Deuteronomy 18:10-12?

[00:44:36]>> Yes. There there shall not be found among you anyone that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or um an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

[00:45:05]For all that do the these things are an abomination unto the Lord. And because of the these abominations, the Lord thy God doth dry them out be uh from before thee. Uh inside the eldest temples, they do a lot of baptisms for the dead and and marriages and weddings and ceremonies for the dead. So this is really again calling upon the dead, which as you can see in the Bible is an abomination.

[00:45:34]And if if you really understand, when we die, we either go to heaven or hell, we're not the spirits aren't here on the earth for us to talk to. So if you're calling out these for these spirits, you're actually talking to demons.

[00:45:50]You're not talking to your ancestors.

[00:45:52]>> Calling out demons. Yeah.

[00:45:53]>> Now, within the LDS temple is the second anointing. If you haven't heard about the second anointing, I would definitely go do some research on it because this is one that usually only the people at the top of the church are able to receive.

[00:46:09]>> And when you say the top of the church, what she's talking about is the corner of the 12 and the first presidency of the church. It might include um you know temp temple presence presidents or uh so it's very you know very specific to very specific people that are allowed to do that and those that are not >> and most people don't even know about the second anointing. I remember the first time that I learned about it. I had seen someone that had he had been invited to receive the second anointing and he had left the church after that.

[00:46:42]And I started reading about it because I was intrigued because I had never heard about it, but I was worried. I was like, "Oh no, is this anti- Mormon? Should I not be reading it?" So, I never really did anything about it. So, you can see how much mind control takes place.

[00:46:58]>> Yeah. Because the church is constantly saying, you know, uh don't don't uh read or study anything that's anti- Mormon.

[00:47:07]Um why? Because they don't actually want you to find out the truth of what's going on. So, anything that's not exactly what uh they're trying to program into the minds of the people, of the members of the church, uh they'll they'll call it, you know, anti- Mormon on purpose and and try to encourage people not to take a look at it because they don't want them to really dig into the truth of what's actually going on, what has happened, what's currently happening right now. This they've been doing this traditionally for decades. It was kind of like conspiracy theorists.

[00:47:42]People that don't want you to know the truth, they call you conspiracy theorists, but >> and tell the truth and prove proven over and over again.

[00:47:50]>> Yeah.

[00:47:50]>> Yeah. It's it happens all the time. So with within the second anointing, they put a blessing upon the husband and they bless him with the Holy Spirit of promise, the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the power to bind and loose, curse and bless, the power to live as long as life is desirable, the power to open the heavens, the power to attain to godhood, and the sealing up to eternal life. So there it is right there again where the LDS church teaches that you can obtain to godhood and then within the home the wife will wash the husband's feet to complete the second anointing.

[00:48:33]anointing. This is uh just so a lot of people know, this is very similar in a lot of ways to what the conquerites taught and a lot of the they used to teach spiritual wifery and that's where a lot of the polygamy and things came from. With the conquerites um you know typically they would have uh the females would wash the feet of a man and then later they would go into a room to to mate together. And so there was a lot of u you know anointing or stuff there that's being done that's very similar to what the conquer knights uh did years ago and that's what was in being infiltrated into the church. Uh John C.

[00:49:16]Bennett too was also really pushing a lot of uh masonic type teachings and there was a lot of things that John C. Bennett did, you know, trying to have sexual relations with uh girls and then he would give them certain men because he was a doctor. He give them medicine so they would have abortions. And then, you know, it he he would try to teach that Joseph Smith was the one that would teach him this spiritual wifey, this process, which was completely false. He did not. In fact, he fought against it.

[00:49:50]he uh made him denounce that in in a court case um proving that he was lying about it and then later he went back and started practicing it again. And so of course um Joseph Smith did did make it public and uh and then John C. Bennett was in a fullout attack against Joseph Smith ever since.

[00:50:12]So, we we also wanted to point out a few things that Yeshua has said about oaths.

[00:50:19]In Matthew 5:33-37, it says, "Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, you shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to Yahweh. But I say to you, do not swear vainly at all. Neither by the heaven because it is Elohim's throne, nor by the earth, for it is his foottool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great sovereign, nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

[00:50:45]But let your word be yes. Yes.

[00:50:48]Let your word yes be yes, and your no be no. And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one. And then in James 5:12, it says, "But above all, my brothers, do not swear either by the heaven or by the earth or with any other oath. But let your yes be yes and your no, lest you fall into judgment." So the Lord is warning us not to take oaths. And we've shown you in these slides that these were actually oaths that were being taken in the temple and are still are being taken today, even if they are watered down a lot.

[00:51:24]And so this is a warning from Yeshua that we are not to be doing that.

[00:51:31]And the temple also teaches a false gospel. And in Galatians 1:8-9, it warns us, "However, even if we or a messenger out of heaven brings a good news to you beside what we announce to you, let him be let him be accursed." As we have said before and now I say again, if anyone brings a good news to you beside what we have received, let him be accursed.

[00:51:56]So when you get a chance, I suggest you go look up the curse of Freemasonry and you'll see how how many of these curses are attached to Freemasonry, which are also attached to the LDS temple because it's rooted in Freemasonry.

[00:52:13]And if you look at Utah, where most of the LDS church is located, it's the highest in suicide. It's the highest in anti-depressants.

[00:52:26]So there's definitely a lot of the curse that is here within Utah for those because of Freemasonry and because of another gospel.

[00:52:39]So the reason why we shared this with you today is because we want to help you to know about the narrow way and to start seeking Yeshua in your life. Start coming to know your savior, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, because he's the only way to salvation.

[00:52:59]The temple will never get you into heaven. It's just a bunch of oaths and masonic oaths that are just gonna put a cursing upon you.

[00:53:10]And Yeshua said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." That's in John 14:6.

[00:53:23]And in Matthew 16:24 it says, "Then Yeshua said to his taught ones, if anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his stake and follow me." So this is to call you out to follow Yeshua, to let go of the temple ordinances, uh to start seeking him. It's I know it's a rough road to leave the temple, to leave the church. We had to go through our own, you know, trying to decide, should we take off our garments?

[00:53:53]Should we leave them on? That was really difficult for us, >> but we had to come out. We You've got to you've got to learn how to leave Babylon and and to seek the truth. And but we we do want you to seek the truth and do your own research and find out the truth so you're not caught up in this this same deception.

[00:54:17]And we will have the links on our website. Uh we'll put a link on the v at the bottom with our video so that you can go do your own research. And if you want to learn more about the narrow way, we have our narrow way resources which are on our website at standing inhisg.org/narrow-way-resources.

[00:54:39]So please go check those out as well.

[00:54:41]Get started on your path. Start seeking Yeshua before it's too late. And thank you for joining us here with standing in his grace. We hope you have a great day.
