Freemasonry: The Depths of Satan - Elder Athanasios Mitilinaios

Elder Athanasios Mitilinaios, in his examination of the Book of Revelation, sees "the depths of Satan" (Rev. 2:24) applying to today's satanic, neo-gnosticism: Freemasonry. Spreading its wicked tentacles throughout society, often in ways unknown the average person, Freemasonry is a powerful force that all Christians must not underestimate. Elder Athanasios reveals the true nature of Freemasonry, her symbols, rituals, and philosophy, offering to Orthodox Christians, and all who love the truth, tools to fight this satanic, secretive organization.

It is commonly held that Leo Taxil pushed a hoax when revealing secrets about Freemasonry, including the details of the 33rd degree initiation. Regardless of the real story, much of Masonry has been exposed at this point by Masonic literature, ex-Masons, and those with due diligence. Some things still remains a mystery. Baphomet, which Taxil mentions as the figure before which Masons kneel in the 33rd degree ritual, is certainly a part of Masonic worship of demons. The saying written on the arms of Baphomet, “As above, so below”, is embraced by gnostic philosophy, and even seen promoted openly by some world famous people (the politicians and world elite tend to be more circumspect). Let the reader decide for himself whether Taxil’s writings bear any truth, whether Elder Athanasios is somehow misinformed about Freemasonry, and whether Freemasonry is an extremely powerful and demonic force permeating all levels of society or just a fraternity of altruistic brothers that “conspiracy theorists” are too eager to draw conclusions about.

"Masonry is a contemporary reality which affects everyone and everything in our times. It is certainly not a good strategy to underestimate the capabilities of the enemy. In order to fight an enemy successfully, we cannot underestimate his power. Masonry is powerful; it is the power of Satan. That is precisely why we are fighting, and we will always continue to fight, as long as we live, against Freemasonry." -Elder Athanasios
