we find Satan declaring what he will do in defiance of the will of God. For every overt act
               of rebellion there is a corresponding justification. “He has..., so I will.”

               Those who judge righteously will conclude that the Freemasons who took counsel inside the
               Green Dragon Tavern were inspired by Lucifer, the original rebel.  The  Mason who  is
               ignorant of the identity of the true god of the Lodge is without excuse. The Scriptures
               describe  Satan  as  “the  dragon”  and  this  emblem  and  name  was  attached  to  the
               HEADquarters in which the rebellion was planned. The actions were also those of Satan
               who comes to kill, steal and destroy. In contrast, Christ counseled His disciples to a very
               different response to the injustices they experience in this world.


               Matthew 5:38-45
               “You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you
               not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to
               him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.
               And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and
               from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. You have heard that it was said,
               'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies,
               bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully
               use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.”


               The apostle Paul echoed this counsel of Christ when he wrote to the saints in Rome.

               Romans 12:21
               Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

               Paul further advised that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.” They are not gun and
               bullet and sword. He stated that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
               principalities and powers, against spiritual forces of wickedness in high places.” This too is
               in harmony with the words of Christ.


               John 18:36
               Yahshua answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world,
               then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as
               it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."

               Those who are born of the Spirit of Christ become citizens of a heavenly kingdom.


               Philippians 3:20
               For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord
               Yahshua Christ.


               As a child of God you are an alien and a stranger in this world. It is great error for the
               Christian to become embroiled in the affairs of this world. Those who do so do not perceive
               the vanity of seeking to transform mankind through carnal methods.
