PHOENIX BIRD SHOWN TO BE SYMBOL OF THE FALSE MESSIAH

What, do you say, is an Egyptian Phoenix Bird?  The Phoenix Bird of Ancient Egypt is pure legend, but that does not keep occultists from believing in its existence.  Let us allow Masonic author, Manly P. Hall, 33 Degree, tell us about the legendary Phoenix Bird.

“Among the ancients a fabulous bird called the Phoenix is described by early writers such as Clement, Herodotus, and Pliny; in size and shape it resembled the eagle, but with certain differences.  The body of the Phoenix is one covered with glossy purple feathers and the plumes in its tail are alternately blue and red.  The head of the bird is light in color, and about its neck is a circlet of golden plumage.  At the back of its back the Phoenix has a crest of feathers of brilliant color.  Only one of these birds was supposed to live at a time, with its home in the distant parts of Arabia, in a nest of frankincense and myrrh. The Phoenix, it is said, lives for 500 years, and at its death its body opens and the new born Phoenix emerges.  Because of this symbolism, the Phoenix is generally regarded as representing immortality and resurrection.” [Manly P. Hall, The Secret Destiny of America , 1958, p. 176-77; Emphasis added]

I find it highly interesting that this occultic legend, the Phoenix Bird, shares several things with the true story of the birth, life, and ministry of Jesus Christ.  Let us quickly review these common points:

1) The Phoenix Bird lives in a nest of frankincense.  In Luke  2:11-12, we see that the three Wise Men — Magi — brought Jesus myrrh and frankincense.  Each of these substances has a distinct meaning in the ministry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  The “frankincense [indicates] Christ’s priestly intercession” for mankind, according to the Defender’s Bible Commentary.  Therefore, to say that the Phoenix Bird lives in a nest containing frankincense portrays a Messiah type ministry for mankind, and one that involves spiritual “intercession”.

2) The Phoenix Bird also has myrrh in his nest.  “Myrrh [indicates] Christ’s coming death” for all mankind, so people can be Justified before God the Father on the basis of Jesus’ sacrificial death on the Cross. [Ibid.] Once again, we see that the Phoenix Bird legend carries another Messianic type ministry, a false one to be sure.

3) We see that, after his death, the Phoenix Bird arises to live anew.  Thus, the Phoenix portrays a  third Messianic type ministry, in that it arose again.

Therefore, this legend parallels Jesus’ true life and ministry in three critically important areas, in His spiritual Intercession, His Substitutionary Death for all mankind, and in His Resurrection.

This is the reason the Masters of the Illuminati seized upon the Phoenix Bird as one of their symbols of the coming New World Order of Antichrist.  Do not ever forget that this goal is paramount for the New World Order.  They plan on staging the False Christ, whom we will know is Antichrist.  Thus, the symbol of the Phoenix Bird perfectly fulfills their plan and can perfectly serve as the symbol of that Man of Perdition.

PHOENIX BIRD DEPICTS OCCULTIC TEACHING OF BEING BORN AGAIN

But, now let us return to the occultic story of the Phoenix Bird.

“All symbols have their origin in something tangible, and the Phoenix is one sign of the secret orders of the ancient world, and of the initiate of those orders, for it was common to refer to one who had been accepted into the temples as a man twice-born, or re-born.  Wisdom confers a new life, and those who become wise are born again .” [Hall, Ibid.; Emphasis added]

Isn’t this amazing?  The Phoenix Bird legend now has a fourth Messianic type connotation; it represents a man being “born again “.  Always remember that most pagan groups, especially the most sophisticated ones, have deliberately created the myth that their members are “born again”.  Even Roman Catholicism teaches that its members become born again, usually at Baptism.

PHOENIX BIRD SHOWN TO BE LUCIFER

Let us now hear more about the occult belief in the Phoenix Bird, from a former witch.

“The Phoenix … is believed to be a divine bird going back to Egypt … This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from the ashes.  Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who they think will one day rise triumphant.  This, of course, also relates to the rising of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic ‘christ’.” [Dr. C. Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated , p. 123]

Lest you think this tie-in of the Phoenix Bird to Lucifer is one occultist’s imagination, listen to Barbara Walker, a radical feminist.  She says that the Egyptians and Phoenicians believed that the Phoenix Bird  was the representation of a god who “rose to heaven in the form of a morning star, like Lucifer, after his fire-immolation of death and rebirth …” [Walker, Now Is The Dawning ", p. 281]

Another Masonic author, revealed that the Sun God, who created all other gods, was symbolized by the Phoenix. [Joseph Fort Newton, The Builders:  A Story and Study of Masonry, The Torch Press, 1914, p. 13-14; also J.S.M. Ward, The Hung Society or the Society of Heaven and Earth , The Baskerville, Press, Ltd., 1925, p. 44 and 102]

PHOENIX BIRD WAS ORIGINALLY AMERICA’S SYMBOL ON OUR GREAT SEAL

Former Illuminist Witch, Doc Marquis, reveals a most interesting, and little known, fact about our American Eagle depicted on our Great Seal.  He states that, originally, the American Eagle was not an Eagle, but the Phoenix Bird! Our Forefathers, who were either Masons or Rosicrucians, envisioned that the Phoenix Bird was to be our national symbol, not the America Eagle! [Secrets of the Illuminati, p. 11; see also the Satanic book of symbols, Magic Symbols , p. 140-3]
