The Grand Architect of the Universe
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Masonic ritual is concerned with the recovery of the “Lost Word,” presumed to be the name of God - supposedly lost through the murder of the architect, Hiram Abiff, during the building of Solomon’s Temple. This quest is attained during the ritual of the ROYAL ARCH DEGREE. It is here that the SECRET NAME of the DEITY OF MASONRY is revealed. That name is “JAOBULON.” “JAO” is the Greek word for Jehovah. “BUL” is a rendering of the name, BAAL. “ON” is the term used in the Babylonian mysteries to call upon the deity “OSIRIS”! The secret ritual book of the Craft prints the letters J.B.O. It states that: “We three do meet and agree - in peace, love and unity - the Sacred Word to keep - and never to divulge the same - until we three, or three such as we - do meet and agree.” Thus, no Royal Arch Mason can pronounce the whole sacred name by himself!
What you see represented, then, as the god of Freemasonry, is a three-headed monster so remote from the Christian trinity and so blasphemous as to damn the eternal soul of anyone who would dare to pronounce its name in a ritual of worship!
