CHAPTER 8
THE UNHOLY TRINITY
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent.
— Isaiah 62:6
The reverse of the Great Seal of the United States contains a second famous yet mysterious Latin phrase. Novus ordo seclorum, meaning “new order of the ages,” also comes from the works of the poet Virgil, specifically a section which he attributed to the Cumaean Sibyl.
Now the last age by Cumae’s Sibyl sung
Has come and gone, and the majestic roll
Of circling centuries begins anew:
Justice returns, returns old Saturn’s reign,
With a new breed of men sent down from heaven.
Only do thou, at the boy’s birth in whom
The iron shall cease, the golden race arise,
Befriend him, chaste Lucina; ‘tis thine own
Apollo reigns.
…
He shall receive the life of gods, and see
Heroes with gods commingling, and himself
Be seen of them, and with his father’s worth
Reign o’er a world at peace.
…
Assume thy greatness, for the time draws nigh,
Dear child of gods, great progeny of Jove!
See how it totters - the world’s orbed might,
Earth, and wide ocean, and the vault profound,
All, see, enraptured of the coming time!
— Virgil (Eclogue IV)[42]
From these unassuming yet ominously prophetic words has sprung a far-reaching esoteric tradition on the return of Apollo and the bringing in of the new order of the ages. Notice how this New Golden Age under Apollo’s rule is defined by world peace, at least according to Virgil. This characterization harmonizes precisely with the Apostle Paul’s description of the very end, though not so much with the popular eschatological teachings of today.
Furthermore, the placement of these words beneath the pyramid and the all-seeing eye is hardly haphazard, but rather betrays a deeper understanding of a story long shrouded in mystery.
The Great Seal is replete with Egyptian symbolism. Most noticeably, the Great Pyramid at Giza is represented by the Seal’s truncated pyramid, which according to occult philosopher Manly P. Hall was known to be the tomb of the god Osiris. And remember, we linked Osiris firmly to the old god, Apollyon, in Chapter 3.
At the base of this pyramid are a series of Roman numerals, representing the year 1776. To President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who placed the Seal on the back of the United States one-dollar bill in 1935, this represented the foundation for the new order of the ages which was laid at our nation’s founding. However, the work would not be complete until the capstone – depicted on the Seal as the all-seeing eye – rested atop the pyramid.
This all-seeing eye, too, has Egyptian roots, as it is none other than the left eye of Horus, the falcon god. (Masons may seek to link their all-seeing eye to the Great Architect of the Universe, but this is an all too obvious example of an exoteric explanation being proffered to appease the undiscerning.) Horus, if you will recall, is the divine child produced through the union of Osiris and Isis. Together then, these three are but an early mythological representation of the Unholy Trinity, a mystical union whose true nature and malevolent intent have long been concealed by the esoteric traditions.
Speaking of the Masonic Trinity, another esoteric manifestation of the same core reality, renowned Freemason Albert Pike had this to say.
The Sun and Moon … represent the two grand principles of all generations, the active and passive, the male and the female. The Sun represents the actual light. He pours upon the Moon his fecundating rays; both shed their light upon their offspring, the Blazing Star, or HORUS, and the three form the great Equilateral Triangle …
— Albert Pike (Morals and Dogma)[43]
To decipher the arcane symbology being used both to reveal and conceal this Dark Trinity at one and the same time, we must return again to the L’Enfant triangle.
Recall that the Capital dome represents the womb of Isis (Satan) and is found adjoining the base of the triangle. The Washington Monument represents the shaft of Osiris (Shemihazah) and is found at the erect side of the triangle. The White House, the seat of power for the sitting U.S. president, is located at the hypotenuse, and therefore represents the divine child, Horus (aka Apollo or the Antichrist).
This positioning of key architecture in our Capital City is quite deliberate and shows that at least some of our founding fathers had a very particular vision in mind for our nation.
Now, bear in mind that as of today (2024) the United States is the leading world superpower by a wide margin. No doubt, our power as a nation is waning. Yet, since we know that Jesus Christ will return in 2028, it is hard to imagine the U.S. being totally eclipsed by another nation in so short a time. Put simply, what other better seat of power does Satan have to offer his greatest human weapon of all time (Luke 4:5-6)? In other words, from our vantage point today, the United States of America looks practically certain to fill up the measure of the destiny laid out for it by its earliest architects.
Remember, too, what Timothy Alberino has said of the expectations of the esoteric orders.
The adepts of the occult have always known that the reign of Lucifer, and the dawning of a New Golden Age, will only begin when his son, Apollo, is seated on the throne of a world empire.
— Timothy Alberino (Birthright)[44]
I believe that the capstone on the pyramid represents this very same Great Work, which the secret orders have been laboring towards for centuries. The placement of the divine child – in whom the iron shall cease, the golden race arise – atop his kingdom, his New Atlantis, at the dawning of a whole new age. He will reign, or so it is said, over a new breed of men sent down from heaven.
One of the earliest versions of the Seal had a crest in place of the pyramid, and the 13 colonies were listed upon it. Again, this is a transparent cipher for the 13 missing pieces of Osiris, found at last in the 13 American colonies of the New Atlantis. All that remained, as shown by the symbol, was to bring forth the eye of Horus which would unite and mount them.
The current Seal has retained the same symbolism, only it has removed the information one layer further from a superficial examination. The pyramid, you will note, contains 13 steps, or courses, from bottom to top. Additionally, it is composed of exactly 72 bricks.
Manly P. Hall understood the deep symbolism of the pyramid far better than most.
The Dying God shall rise again! The secret room in the House of the Hidden Places shall be rediscovered. The Pyramid again shall stand as the ideal emblem of solidarity, inspiration, aspiration, resurrection, and regeneration.
— Manly P. Hall (The Secret Teachings of All Ages)[45]
Many dedicated prophecy interpreters of our own day feel an irresistible pull to over literalization when reading words such as these. Osiris is coming back to life! they exclaim. Once enraptured of this idea, they cannot seem to forsake it, no matter that the Word itself contradicts the notion (Jude 6). The Nephilim will soon be among us once again.
And all the while the deeper truth slithers right past their unnoticing eyes. Let me break the news to you. It is at once good and bad. Things will not be that obvious in the Devil’s final grand deception. He has been building towards this moment for millennia, remember. The clues have been left all along the way, but they are well hidden for a reason.
Satan is not going to literally descend to the abyss to have a child with the lord of the underworld. Instead, it will be a spiritual son, who like his father, Shemihazah, will cunningly corrupt mankind at a fundamental biological level. Heroes with gods commingling. A new breed of men sent down from heaven. This deed serves the Devil’s highest purpose, bringing in hordes of crippled eternal citizens into his doomed kingdom right before the end. His final harvest of souls.
Iniquities which have never been since the world began.
Admittedly, I find it existentially strange at times to be living in the days of Horus. At the twilight of this fallen age. Still, I cannot deny the compelling truth however strange.
This procreation of the new breed of men is otherwise known as the constructing of Lucifer’s Temple, a theme found in certain remote corners of the esoteric lore. We will explore this connection in the following chapter.
There is another readily discernable clue pointing to Osiris on the reverse of the Seal. And that is to be found in the numbering of the letters in the phrase Novus ordo seclorum. By rights, seclorum should be saeclorum, as any decent Latin student will tell you. But the word was unaccountably shortened, apparently to ensure the phrase amounted to the esoterically meaningful total of 17 letters, rather than 18. This is but another transparent cipher for Osiris and for his long-awaited resurrection.
It is not my intent here to travel too deep into the rabbit hole of occult symbols and lore, as many of the details are superfluous to our quest. However, I do believe that the legendary stone known variously as the Emerald Tablet, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Stone of Destiny, the Grail Stone, and the Lapis Exilis, has a great deal of relevance to the story of Osiris and Horus, and to the Unholy Trinity of which they are a part.
Like the sapphire Schethiya, the Lapis Exilis, crown jewel of the Archangel Lucifer, fell from heaven. Michael, archangel of the sun and the Hidden God of Israel, at the head of the angelic hosts swooped down upon Lucifer and his legions of rebellious spirits. During the conflict, Michael with his flaming sword struck the flashing Lapis Exilis from the coronet of his adversary, and the green stone fell through all the celestial rings into the dark and immeasurable Abyss.
— Manly P. Hall (The Secret Teachings of All Ages)[46]
Do you see it? Have you learned enough to glimpse beneath Hall’s words to see his real meaning? Remember that even the later philosophers like Blavatsky and Hall, who compiled and recast much of the esoteric lore passed down from the ages before, are not carelessly revealing deep truths to the uninitiated. Always, by force of habit, they dress the truth in a fitting cloth of symbolism.
Notice how he capitalizes abyss, denoting it not just as a general place but a proper place. And why might he use that particular word to begin with?
My own speculation, gleaned from reading between the lines of the lore, is that the crown jewel of Satan is meant to symbolize Osiris. The old god corrupted mankind and thereby enlarged the Devil’s kingdom of darkness. These deeds forever endeared him to the prince of this world, even long after his death. This is why the Grail is used as a symbol of germination and resurrection. This is also why the ancient pagan religions were built around this very theme. Osiris was always meant to be resurrected; not literally, but through his son, Horus.
Now, this is not to deny that the real Emerald Tablets, or replicas thereof, may indeed exist. That is possible. But they themselves are not what is truly symbolized by these legends.
I will add one final tantalizing clue. This Stone of Destiny is viewed by the cabalists as being absolutely necessary for the construction of the final Temple. Remember, Freemasonry claims to trace its roots back specifically to the days of King Solomon and his building of the first Temple. This chosen connection is not random, as their myth of Hiram Abiff clearly indicates. We will pick up this thread again in the next chapter, but keep in mind that Horus and the final Temple are definitively linked in the lore.
The key occult symbols and architecture are all pointing to the same destiny. The rebirth of Osiris through his son, Horus. What is much more obscured is the fact that Osiris was actually a fallen angel who greatly corrupted and ruled over mankind in the antediluvian epoch. His son will be a human man who will do much the same during the final years of Jacob’s trouble.
It may surprise you to learn that high-ranking Freemasons still perform the ancient raising of Osiris rituals inside the headquarters of Scottish Rite Freemasonry after the inauguration of each new United States president. The great dome and obelisk are already present in the Capital City to witness the event and participate in the metaphysical manifestation of Apollo. Yet the raising ceremony itself, held at the House of the Temple in Washington, D.C., has a long and secretive tradition.
… the ancient raising ceremony is conducted following the election of an American president—just as their Egyptian forefathers did at the temple of Amun-Ra in Karnak—in keeping with the tradition of installing within him the representative spirit of Osiris until such time as the god himself shall fulfill the Great Seal prophecy and return in flesh.
— Thomas Horn (Zenith 2016)[47]
Obviously, I disagree with the notion that Osiris is ever returning in the flesh. But the point is that this ritual is performed each time a new president comes into power, as the dragon priests ever seek for the true seed of Osiris. What’s more, it is carried out under a skylight which forms a stylized magic 666 square, thereby invoking the sun god (another of Lucifer’s many identities) to participate in the mystical transformation, producing the divine child.
… the Dome and Obelisk became “energy receivers,” capable of assimilating Ra’s essence from the rays of the sun, which in turn drew forth the “seed” of the underworld Osiris. The seed of the dead deity would, according to the supernaturalism, transmit upward from out of the underworld through the base (testes) of the Obelisk and magically emit from the tower’s head into the womb (Dome) of Isis where incarnation into the sitting pharaoh/king/president would occur …
— Thomas Horn (Zenith 2016)[48]
As unbelievable as it all may seem to us the uninitiated, to the dragon priests these things are sacred and serious. They have labored for centuries to finish the pyramid, to birth Apollo, and to bring forth the New Age we now find ourselves entering. This has always been their Great Work.
Not only were many of the founders of the United States Government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe, which helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated few. The Great Seal is the signature of this exalted body – unseen and for the most part unknown – and the unfinished pyramid upon its reverse side is a trestleboard setting forth symbolically the task to the accomplishment of which the United States Government was dedicated from the day of its inception.
– Manly P. Hall (The Secret Teachings of All Ages)[49]
As improbable as it may seem, it appears that some of the initiated Masons amongst our founders even had a rough idea of when their Great Work was due to be completed. As Thomas Horn has carefully laid out in his book Zenith 2016, the courses of the pyramid were likely meant also to convey periods of time. Using the well-known Mayan period of the katan (19.7 years) brings us from 1776 at the first course (base) of the pyramid directly to 2012 at its summit. This also just so happens to be the end point for the Mayan calendar. Using instead rounded and cleaner twenty-year periods means that the body of the pyramid extends through 2016.
Now, does this mean that something momentous happens (happened, by now) in 2016? Not necessarily. To me, this simply means that the pyramid of the New Atlantis was envisioned to be complete by the year 2016. The capstone, then, would begin in 2017.
Thus far we have touched only on the reverse side of the Great Seal (now found on the left side of the back of the one-dollar bill). Yet, the obverse of the Seal has a few additional symbolisms worth noting.
Most obviously, perhaps, the thirteen original colonies (which represent the thirteen missing pieces of Osiris found by his wife, Isis) are again signified numerous times on the front of the Seal. There are six occurrences of this number in all. Thirteen leaves of the olive branch, thirteen olives on the branch, thirteen arrows clutched by the “eagle,” thirteen stars above the bird’s head, thirteen bars and stripes in the shield, and thirteen letters in the phrase E pluribus unum.
Even today, the American flag has precisely thirteen stripes of red and white. What is perhaps most remarkable about the front of the Seal, however, is not the numerology, but rather the nature of the bird which is its central motif. Early designs of the Seal did not contain an eagle, but rather depicted a phoenix on its nest of flames. The phoenix was a bird famous among the ancients as a symbol of immortality and resurrection, themes which we again find to be quite in keeping with the lore of Osiris. It was said that only one phoenix existed at any given time.
I also find it quite interesting that the old legends have the phoenix bird living for 500 years and when ready to die emerging from the flames, reborn as beautiful as ever. Why from the flames? Is it not because this is precisely emblematic of the infernal Abyss into which the real Osiris was cast many years ago?
For his part, Manly P. Hall was convinced that the bird shown on the obverse of the Seal was no eagle.
It is immediately evident that the bird on the original seal is not an eagle, nor even a wild turkey as Franklin had hoped, but the Phoenix, the ancient symbol of human aspiration toward Universal good. The beak is of a different shape, the neck is much longer, and the small tuft of hair at the back of the head leaves no doubt as to the artist’s intention.
— Manly P. Hall (The Secret Destiny of America)[50]
There is even more tying this fabled bird to Osiris, and, curiously, to Lucifer’s final Temple as well.
It is called “Lapsit exillis”. By virtue of this Stone the Phoenix is burned to ashes, in which he is reborn. Thus does the Phoenix moult its feathers! Which done, it shines dazzling bright and lovely as before!
— Wolfram von Eschenbach (Parzival)[51]
Remember, this legendary stone must be present for the final Temple to be built. I take this bit of lore to simply signify that only Horus (the reborn Osiris, whom the stone typifies) can build this Temple in honor of his parents. In other words, the stone is a cipher for Osiris, and more specifically in this case his son, Horus. And Eschenbach ties the phoenix, or resurrection bird, directly to the stone.
Dante Alighieri, the Rosicrucian Grand Master, also spoke of the phoenix in his famous work, The Inferno.
Precisely so, philosophers declare,
the Phoenix dies and then is born again
when it approaches its five hundredth year.
It lives on tears of balsam and of incense;
in all its life it eats no herb or grain,
and nard and precious myrrh sweeten its cerements.
– Dante Alighieri (The Inferno)[52]
Do you see how Dante claims that the phoenix does not subsist on food, but rather on the worship it receives from its adherents? These statements make it plain that the initiated throughout the ages have always understood the bird’s true identity.
Taken together, the primary emblems of our nation – the pyramid, the capstone, and the phoenix – all point to a single ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled. The rebirth of Osiris, the old god. And a new breed of men sent down from heaven for his son to reign over. Heroes with gods commingling.
Those obsessed with literal interpretations of end times events will be sorely disappointed. And yet, the symbolic actualization of these ancient plans in our day is truly stunning for those with eyes to see. The fulfillment has been carried out with extreme precision and beneath the same helmet of Athena which has been donned by the secret orders for centuries, leaving it all but invisible to the eyes of the uninitiated masses.
And surely nothing will convince these sleepers to rise from their stupor long enough to see the irresistible truth. Therefore, they will glimpse neither Apollo nor his new breed of men.
Still, we few gifted with the ability to discern the signs of the times need not remain blind to the carefully concealed truth. With the key pieces of relevant information before us, only discernment is needed to glimpse the completed puzzle.
How strange it is that we should be born for this epic era. How odd to learn that in our own recent past, the final steps of the pyramid were ascended at their prophesied time. And with the pyramid of the New Atlantis completed, all that remained was for the ascendance of the divine child and the dawning of the New Age of Horus. He was the one long foretold to build the final earthly Temple. The Temple destined to be inhabited not by Yahweh, but by Lucifer.
