The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 562
hoped to defeat ratification of the Constitution by the States and at a minimal, they hoped to get a
Bill of Rights added. They were successful at the later. Therefore, it is the Anti-Federalists, those
who apposed the Constitution, for which we owe our highest debt of gratitude. The Bill of Rights
guarantees our civil liberties which include: freedom of religion, freedom of the press and
freedom of expression; the right to bear arms; protection from unreasonable search and seizure;
the right to a speedy to trial, the right of confrontation of witnesses and the right of trial by jury
in civil cases; and the protection from cruel and unusual punishment. Further, it is the 10th
Amendment that defines the powers of the states. It states that those powers not delegated to the
national government by the Constitution are reserved to the States or to the people.
While Satan was not successful in his attempt to deny America a “Bill of Rights”, it
would seem that the debate and concern over individual rights caused an oversight of even more
importance. God is not mentioned in the constitution. While God is mentioned in the
“Declaration of Independence” and all 50 state constitutions, he is absent in the American
constitution. The covenant relationship that was established by the pilgrims and the Puritans is
absent in the U.S. constitution. While the Bill of Rights establishes our freedom of religion and
worship, nothing contained in the constitution advises us that our religious freedom should be
used to worship, honor, respect and obey the God of heaven. I believe that this was clearly the
intent of a majority of Americans yet it became lost in the debate over rights. There is also the
issue of slavery for which the northern delegates compromised with the southern delegates to let
it persist for at least 20 years (Article V).
The question arises as to why there was such a strong polarization over such a basic issue
as rights? This occurred between 55 men who supposedly had similar aims and whom it is
claimed had similar religious beliefs. This is especially true when one considers that “all but
three were orthodox members of one of the established Christian”denominations.

The most
obvious answer and the most plausible is that many of the Federalists were either deceptive
about their intentions, or their beliefs or their reasoning was impaired. I believe it is a
combination of the above. You see, of the 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention who
signed the Constitution, at least 13
1951
and as many as 17 were Masons.
1952
Four of these men,
David Brearley, Gunning Bedford, Jr., John Blair and Ben Franklin became Masonic Grand
Masters.
1953
The exact number of Masons is uncertain because records have been lost and some
lodges no longer exist. Nevertheless, although some lodge records no longer exist, there are other
records that provide evidence such as personal letters. The list of Masons at the Constitutional
Convention included some of the most influential men in America including: George
Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison.
The significance of these men being Masons, remember from chapter 7, 11 and 13, is that
Freemasonry involves the worship of Satan; Masons at the highest levels are keenly aware of
this. As Albert Pike revealed in Morals and Dogma:
…Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the
Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer [Satan], the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the
Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls?
Doubt it not! for traditions are full of Divine Revelations and Inspirations….
