sufficiently multiplied, there were enough Israelites <strong>to</strong> constitute a<br />

physical nation. At that time, God led His people out of Egypt through<br />

His servant Moses.<br />

The his<strong>to</strong>ry of Israel would be one of ups and downs. When<br />

the Israelites were obedient <strong>to</strong> God, they prospered; and none of their<br />

pantheistic neighbors could stand against them. However, when the<br />

Israelites themselves began <strong>to</strong> fall for the spiritual lies of the surrounding<br />

nations, they were oppressed by these same powers. God sent a<br />

steady stream of holy prophets <strong>to</strong> teach Israel His ways and <strong>to</strong> warn<br />

them of what would happen if they did not obey. Much like the relationship<br />

between a loving father and his child, while longing for his<br />

child {Israel) <strong>to</strong> be good and loving, there were times when that child<br />

was rebellious and needed <strong>to</strong> be disciplined before something much<br />

worse happened.<br />

The Israelites, through Moses, had been instructed <strong>to</strong> bring<br />

regular animal offerings or sacrifices before God. These sacrifices<br />

symbolized the payment for their sins, reminding them that sin does<br />

not come without a penalty. These offerings were also symbolic of<br />

the coming supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who would pay the<br />

penalty for the sins of the entire world at the appointed time.<br />

After the proper groundwork had been laid, God sent His Son.<br />

The message of forgiveness and the promise of eternal life <strong>to</strong> those<br />

who believe in Christ would be carried forward from Israel <strong>to</strong> all nations.<br />

Although this gospel (the good news) spread in all directions<br />

it would not be equally accepted by all peoples and would meet with<br />

more resistance in some places than in others. Those missionaries,<br />

for example, who carried the message in<strong>to</strong> Babylon, Persia, and In·<br />

dia were violently rejected; and only a small number of people believed<br />

and received the truth there. Similarly, <strong>to</strong>day, in spite of nearly<br />

twenty centuries of missionary efforts in the Far East, with the exception<br />

of a few areas, the message of Christ has been overwhelmingly<br />

rejected.<br />

The hold of Satan on these countries was so complete and established<br />

that, <strong>to</strong> this day, only a small percent of the orient believes<br />

in Christ Hinduism-the oldest surviving pantheistic religion is still<br />

being practiced by a majority of India's inhabitants.<br />

The s<strong>to</strong>ry would be different in the Mediterranean where the<br />

gospel was accepted in large numbers, in<br />

r<br />

spite of fierce persecution<br />

against those who believed. Within a few generations there were so<br />

many Christians in this region that the high priests of the Mysteries<br />

of Greece, Rome, and Egypt began <strong>to</strong> loose their control. The teach­<br />

occult practices of the priests, exposing them for what they were. The<br />

more the believers were persecuted, the larger their numbers grew,<br />

until finally the occult priests were forced <strong>to</strong> go underground in order<br />

<strong>to</strong> keep their secret knowledge and traditions alive.<br />

These occult teachings have been handed down from generation<br />

<strong>to</strong> generation ever since, kept alive in the Western world by the<br />

secret societies, which are little more than a continuation of ancient<br />

occult priesthoods. Satan's plan was <strong>to</strong> keep his priesthood and secret<br />

doctrines alive until, being sufficient in number and power, the<br />

priesthood could once again seize control over his lost terri<strong>to</strong>ries.<br />

Gnosticism, the most effective and widely accepted form of pantheism,<br />

was more deceptive and clever than the others, developing the<br />

occult's only major counter explanation <strong>to</strong> the message and person<br />

of Christ The Gnostics were the chief adversaries of the Apostle Paul<br />

and the early Church, relentlessly pursuing Christians wherever they<br />

went, long before the mystery religions even began <strong>to</strong> crumble.<br />

According <strong>to</strong> Albert Pike, Gnosticism was an offshoot of<br />

Kabalism, an oral occult tradition, which was adhered <strong>to</strong> by a minority<br />

of the jews. At some point, which remains uncertain, these occult<br />

teachings were reduced <strong>to</strong> writing, and the Kabalah was born. On page<br />

626 of Morals and Dogma, Pike states, "The Kabalah is the key of<br />

the occult sciences; and the Gnostics were born of the Kabalists."<br />

Kabalism was merely a unique version of the ancient mysteries<br />

specifically designed <strong>to</strong> deceive God's chosen people. Unlike the<br />

other mysteries, its teachings dealt specifically with Israel, offering<br />

occult counter-explanations <strong>to</strong> the revelations of the prophets, complete<br />

with a cleverly disguised occult interpretation of the his<strong>to</strong>ry of<br />

Israel. Moses, for example, rather than being the righteous prophet<br />

of God who led the Israelites out of Egypt, was made out <strong>to</strong> be an<br />

occult figure whose purpose was <strong>to</strong> initiate the Israelites in<strong>to</strong> the<br />

enlightened and more advanced teachings of Egypt<br />

If Kabalism could be viewed as the occult counter-explanation<br />

of the Old Testament, Gnosticism, existing as a further development<br />

of Kabalism and taking in<strong>to</strong> account Satan's Mnew problem" posed by<br />

the risen Christ, would serve as the main occult counterattack against<br />

the New Testament Thus, Kabalism and Gnosticism combined, composed<br />

a type of occult parallel <strong>to</strong> the Old and New Testaments.<br />

Gnosticism, although originally composed of jewish occultists,<br />

rapidly gained Gentile followers until it soon became predominantly<br />

Gentile. As the priesthoods were forced <strong>to</strong> take on new forms, Gnosticism<br />

became a magnet for these occult adepts. Branches of Gnosti·<br />

cism represented the first significant sea:et societies of the post-res-
