To incite the peoples of France into rebellion wasn’t too difficult. There was a lot of poverty, high taxes and over indulgence by the Monarch and the Aristocrats, thereby creating the ideal conditions for the Freemasons to take advantage of the situation. Writers such as Rousseau, Voltaire and others fuelled the fires of freedom, liberty and equality, as their ideology reached the ears of the masses. Thus the Freemason philosophers were the main cause of the Revolution of 1789.
Once again the Sons of Liberty (or enlightenment) marched through the streets of France, carrying banners of the triangle with the All Seeing Eye, the Masonic symbol and promoting the Goddess of Reason. The woman of this world, the symbol of this goddess, declaring that man does not need God. She stood for worldly knowledge, everything was attainable by man alone, he is not responsible to a higher power, he is answerable only to himself, the emergence of the new age of self, to do ones own thing at whatever cost. The seeds of which have come to full fruition in this generation.
The Christian church was dissolved in spite of the guarantee of religious freedom given by the Declaration of the Rights of Man. Then the government instituted the Worship of Reason as the Goddess of Wisdom was installed in Notre Dame Cathedral. This was soon to be replaced by the Worship of the Supreme Being, with Robespierre, a Deist, as chief priest.
This ten-year revolution horrified the world and has even been written as the Great Tribulation, especially when beheading of the people was rampant. The success of the American Revolution gave inspiration to the French Masonic Movement. Now their time had come to turn France into a Republic.
The Marquis de Lafayette, a high degree French Illuminist Mason, who bestowed the True Kindred Medal on George Washington for doing a job well done, had now organized his own army (known as the National Guard) to overthrow the Monarchy. Lafayette went against his king to join the American cause. He helped Washington succeed against the British in the American Revolution and persuaded his country to send troops and naval units to America. Lafayette was with Washington at Valley Forge and played a leading role with the revolutionists in Washington’s army. Revolutionary movements in Europe and South America also had his open support. The Declaration of the Rights of Man was presented for adoption by Lafayette after the Bastille had fallen. This Bill of Rights was full of overtones of Voltaire and Rousseau. The parallels between the French Revolution and today are uncanny.
Maximilen Robespierre and Georges Danton, two men of great violence who led the French Revolution, were in the end killed by their own terror, as a wild animal would turn on its own nascent trainer. Danton and his associates were denounced and executed in April 1794 for questioning the purposes of the Terror whilst Robesierre met denunciation and death on 28 July 1794. When the Revolution broke out in 1789, Danton (who was a lawyer) became a radical leader in the Paris commune and served in the National Legislative Assembly and also in the National Convention.
After Louis XVI was imprisoned in 1792, Danton was made Minister of Justice. A strange title for a man who had thousands of innocent people guillotined. At the height of the massacre, called the REIGN OF TERROR, Danton was a member of the committee of Public Safety. Another strange title, considering people weren’t safe anywhere, as if you had a head, you could very easily lose it. Danton used his power in this position to be rid of the moderates, the Girondists. Then when Danton thought the Revolution was too excessive he tried to curb the violence, but he in turn was overthrown and convicted by even more radical men, led by Robespierre. The old saying certainly held true ‘if you dine with the devil, you will have to pay the cheque’. You see, when the devil has used you, he will then turn and dump you, as he has no loyalty to anyone.
In September 1792 the National Convention met, where the Monarch was abolished and the first Republic of France was established. There was even a Bill passed in the Assembly that stated that God did not exist. France became the first nation in the world with a government that actually made a written document and threw God out of the widow. After this, the King was brought to trial on charges of treason and sentenced to death by guillotine in January 1793.
The pattern hadn’t changed. Throughout the reign of monarchies, from the British Kings to France and wherever a monarchy would stand in the way, it was the same violent outcome, to abolish, destroy and replace with a republican state or nation. How sad when men have no love in their hearts, only darkness and wickedness, lust for power and greed. However, with God’s love and grace, we can conquer and overcome all things in Jesus Christ, come out of sin and bondage ‘and look upon his glorious face’ as the hymn says, Born of the Spirit washed in his blood – a call that has gone out to every generation.
My next rebel is Robespierre, who was a member of the most radical group, the Jacobins, or the extreme republicans who advocated unconstrained democracy, revolutionary dictatorship and violence. Jacobin was merely another name for French Illuminist since both have the same cry of equality; liberty, freedom and brotherhood, each came as light and fooled thousands. Likewise the Jacobites and Jacobins really were one and the same, the rituals and policies were the same. The devil divides his household and then in the final outcome they all turn on one another. The political overtures of the Republicans are grounded in Masonic Law, for a complete utopian democracy.
At the outset all the liberal freedoms people want are granted to produce the seeds of anarchy, then a tightening of laws, followed by a strict false code of morality, leading to a complete totalitarian state or nation. Robespierre was a tyrant who had all these inbuilt republican qualities. He was educated as a lawyer and chose to be a judge. He soon resigned, as he could not sentence a criminal to death. He hated the death sentence, but was still able to pronounce that Louis must die so the country would live. Robespierre became a dictator, who wanted to make France into a Republic of virtue and justice by slaughtering thousands of innocent people. Rebels like Robespierre and Lucifer come as light, swaying the masses into believing equality, liberty and freedom for all men and then bringing them the Terror and death.
As previously stated, total freedom is not viable under God’s established laws. No one can have total freedom, as this would destroy society, as man is not free to do everything he wants to do. God has set the boundaries of his laws and if we go outside of those boundaries, then we must take the consequences. People seldom learn from their mistakes and history continually repeats itself. It is a true saying ‘if you know your past, you know your future’; wise words for that is where we stand today.
My next rebel is Jacques Jean Rousseau, a philosopher, French author and one of the free thinkers, who fuelled the fires of the French Revolution. The American Constitution and Declaration of Independence, have heavy overtones with his school of thought and rebellion against God and the established throne or monarchy. He espoused all the doctrines of Freemasonry; the belief of the goodness of man and the idea that man’s moral virtues can achieve anything. In other words, man does not need a Saviour; he can save himself through striving in good works and moral deeds.
Once again, the rituals of the Ancient Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, say Masons are to act as becomes a moral and wise man, particularly not to let your family, friends and neighbours know the concerns of the lodge etc. but wisely to consult your own honour and that of your ancient brotherhood, for reasons not mentioned here. What self-righteous works of man and deceit and abomination before God. God has hidden nothing from men, as every door is open. Conversely this is the opposite with Satan as every door is closed.
Rousseau’s philosophy on government and the ideal society lies with a central powerful group of moral men or Masonic oligarchy. Complete sovereign power rests with this group and the masses find complete freedom in submission to this central group, for they want only what the government wants, that which is best for all. A devilish doctrine pitted against God. So we can see through Rousseau’s writings THE GRAND PLAN OF THE REPUBLICAN FREEMASONRY NEW WORLD ORDER, of which the French Revolution and the American Revolution were stepping-stones.
Many scholars and writers fell into the category of Rousseau. Another freethinker who played a part in weakening the feudal society and who paved the way for the Revolution was Dennis Diderot. A French writer and encyclopedist, who compiled and edited twenty-eight volumes called Encyclopidie. This encyclopedia was full of republican philosophy or equality, liberty and freedom and several eminent French writers contributed to the set. Voltaire was another major contributor.
Initially the masses were bombarded with utopian ideas on paper, then they are progressively let loose and finally the seeds of disorder grow and within a short time the central power is in full control. The first Republic (1792-1799) invariably led to the dictatorship of Napoleon (1799-1815) who owed everything to the Revolution that ousted God and the Monarchy. He would carry on the bloodshed of that Revolution to the rest of Europe where millions would die as a direct consequence of his bloody campaigns.
We need to recognize there is only one way and that is God’s way, there are no short cuts. To please God is the order of the day, not to please men, nor strive with men, but to strive with God and overcome the battle of the flesh within us. For as Jesus Christ said, the spirit is life but the sin of the flesh is death.
