BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF THE CATHEDRAL
This unfinished building has been claimed as being the world's largest cathedral. It is realistic to maintain such high aspirations when your sources of funding include tycoons like JP Morgan and prominent figures like the Grand Master of the Masons of the state of New York. The completion of the cathedral was such a prized accomplishment for the Freemasons that it was featured on the front page of "Masonic World" of March 1925.
The article states:
"It is particularly fitting that the Masons, who were the principal builders of cathedrals and churches during the greatest cathedral-building period, should now have a prominent part in the movement to build America's greatest cathedral (...) Little need be added to the story of Freemasonry during the cathedral-building period; its monuments are its best history, alike of its genius, its faith and its symbols."
The article openly admits that masonic cathedrals represent the best legacy of the Brotherhood and the symbolism is prominently showcased. The masses are however too ignorant to recognize the meanings behind the art, so they just stare at them, thinking "it's pretty nice".

FREEMASONRY AND THE OCCULT
As you might know, Masonry has been, through the ages, the keeper of the "ancient mysteries", which are occult and esoteric teachings only communicated to the initiates. I will not explain here the mystery religion as it takes several years of studies to get some understanding. I can however say that the occultists draw their teachings from ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Kaballah and Gnostic cultures, who predate by many centuries the Christian era. Secret societies have been forced to hide the true nature of their philosophies in a veil of Christianity to avoid persecution by the Church. Freemasons and their fellow organisms, the Rosicrucian Order and the Knights Templar have all been accused of devil worship and idolatry in Europe.
While many low-level Freemasons may be practising Christians, those looking to reach higher degrees within the Brotherhood are required to study the tenants and the philosophies of the Mystery Religion. Freemasons do not necessarily seek for the world to embrace their brand of spirituality, as it is strickly reserved to the initiates. However, people in high places, who often happen to be Masons are seeking to steer the population towards a "dumbed-down" version of their paganism.
THE APOCALYPTIC PILLAR
On the western facade of the building, stonemasons have sculpted numerous scenes that seem oddly out of place for a Cathedral. The most striking one is the chilling depiction of the destruction of New York city and its landmarks.
TWIN TOWERS COLLAPSING
The scene above was done in 1997, four years before the destruction of the Twin Towers. Other recognizable skyscrapers are the Chrysler Building and the Citigroup center.
APOCALYPTIC NEW YORK
The scene above might be unsettling for New York residents. We see the Brooklyn bridge crumbling with cars and buses falling into agitated waters. At the right is the Statue of Liberty, which seems to be sinking in the water. Beneath this horrifying prophecy is the New York Stock Exchange, with people trading goods around it.
So, what is the purpose of this weird carving? Well, the first thing that needs to be mentioned is the actual St. John the Divine is credited for writing the Book of Revelation in the Bible, which describes in symbolic imagery the events of the apocalypse. Occultists believe that the Book of Revelation has been hermetically coded to reveal its true meaning to the initiates of esoteric teachings. This scene, carved on the west entrance of the cathedral, depicts New York as being "Babylon the Great", the city who gets completely destroyed by the wrath of God. The Book of Revelation mentions:"
"Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!
She has become a home for demons
and a haunt for every evil spirit,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
-BOOK OF REVELATION 18
THE COLUMNS ARE PLACED NEXT TO THE CATHEDRAL'S ENTRANCE, UNDER SAINTLY FIGURES.
Posted in the on St. John the Divine, this pillar depicts an apocalyptic New York city being engulfed by enormous waves.
Also posted in the , this column depicts the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Underneath is the New York stock market and people trading goods. Is this a reference to the Babylon of the Revelation?
HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE?
A scene depicting a birth from some kind of flower, surrounded by mummies and above a lamb with its legs tied. Who is being born? Is the Anti-Christ who is said by the Book of Revelation to the beast "coming up out of the earth; and had two horns like a lamb"? Underneath is a spiral vortex (symbolizing change of consciousness?) and people apparently praising or worshiping the figure.
PILLAR SYMBOLIZING DEATH WITH THE "WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL, FULL OF EYES ALL AROUND" FROM THE VISION IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL.
Pillar with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The Book of Revelation is said to be encoded with Kabbalistic numerology to reveal its esoteric meaning.
THE MAN ABOVE THE TREE OF LIFE IS ALSO UNCHARACTERISTIC FOR A CATHEDRAL. IT IS ONE-EYED (SEE THE EYE OF HORUS) AND WEARS A HUGE CLEAR QUARTZ AMULET, WHICH IS SAID TO HAVE MAGICAL AND METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
Little to no documentation exists about the meaning of the pillars and the rest of the Cathedral contains a lot of art with strange symbolism alluding to catastrophe and a new era. Strange place.
The artists might be on to something because there is indeed numerous similarities between the actual New York city and the description of Babylon the Great in the Bible. The Book of Revelation mentions:
A "GREAT PROSTITUTE" who sits on many waters - peoples, multitudes, nations and languages - holding a golden cup. She rules over the kings of the Earth. = The Statue of Liberty
Merchants of the Earth who grew rich of her "excessive luxuries", weeping because nobody buys their goods anymore = New York Stock Exchange
"The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out:
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
- BOOK OF REVELATION, 18
Knowing that, still today, over 70% of the world's capital goes through the NYSE, we understand why the building was depicted on the apocalyptic pillar. It represents the "financial" aspect of the Book of Revelation, where it repeatedly refers to rich merchants and trading goods.
So, a landmark of NYC, the St. John the Divine Cathedral, predicts in vivid detail the destruction of its home city. Pretty unusual. Under the rendering of the NYSE, we a skeleton and strange creatures, who seem to represent death and destruction. Is this some sort of prophecy?
THE TEMPLE OF UNDERSTANDING
St. John the Divine is the headquarters of the Temple of Understanding, an interfaith effort to steer away people from traditional religions to a hybrid kind of spirituality based on New Age philosophies, Neo-Paganism and a mix of organized religions' traditions. The "friends" who have assisted the founder Juliet Hollister include John D. Rockefeller II, the XIV Dalai Lama, Pope John XXIII, Eleanor Roosvelt, UN Secretary-General U Thant, International Planned Parenthood and the Jewish Theological Seminary. Jean Houston, a New Age guru and supporter of the Temple of Understanding wrote in her book "Trojan Horse":
"The Temple's purpose is to facilitate the one world religion, through the promoting both the acceptance and the embrace of all religions, beliefs and rituals. The Temple of Understanding's Meditation Room was to be known as the "Hall of Illumination"' where the Illuminati, Masters of Wisdom, Our Leaders of the Temple of Understanding will train the public in the new humanistic cult...to create a new type of mystic"
The Temple has received full UN accreditation and has been a key actor in the "spiritual" department of the UN. Twelve individuals listed as Directors or Advisors of the Temple of Understanding are also members of the UN's Global Forum councils. Those Forums have received numerous speakers who've openly supported a neo-pagan world religion based on Earth worship. James Lovelock, one of the speakers mentioned that "Gaia" (an ancient term describing the Earth as a Goddess) was the giver of life and had the capacity to heal herself. He describes humans as being cancers to Gaia, an "illness too overwhelming for her to heal herself". In other words, humans are parasites to the goddess Gaia.
Al Gore has been a guest several times at the Cathedral of St.John the Divine where he infamously said "God is not separate from the Earth". Well, in Christianity, Judaism and Islam, God IS in fact separate from the Earth (in the Heavens). If you decipher Gore's phrase:
GOD = EARTH = EARTH IS GOD
Gore has been repeatedly applauded by Pagan groups for his
"We are Neo-Pagans - implying an eclectic reconstruction of ancient Nature religions, and combining archetypes of many cultures with other mystic and spiritual disciplines - and our beliefs and values are no different from those you describe as your own. Your book, Earth in Balance, is heralded by our People as a manifesto for all we hold dear...Know that there are half million NeoPagans out here who support you, and who voted for you, and who will rally to the aid of your policies for the salvation of the Earth and the reunification of the Great Family".
Another member of the board of directors of the Temple of Understanding is Thomas Berry. He believes that the world is being called to a new, "post-denominational", even a post-Christian belief system that sees the earth as a living being - with mankind as her consciousness.
OK, SO WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS MEAN?
If you read my article about the Georgia Guidestones or the Denver International Airport, you're already aware of unusual monuments and art placed by powerful yet secretive groups calling for a new type of global spirituality. Key words or expressions are often used to make this religious shift socially acceptable: "Peace", "balance with nature" or "harmony with the infinite". How can you be against peace? You can't. Those buzz words hide however the means that will be used to obtain those objectives: "Peace" will only happen when all there will be a single world government. "Balance with nature" will only happen when the world population will drastically decrease and "harmony with the infinite" will only happen when the world will give up traditional religions to embrace neo-pagan humanism.
The St. John the Divine Cathedral acts as a nervous center for the spiritual side of the global shift. Through numerous forums and UN summits, the Temple of Understanding reunites leaders from all major religions to devise a universal message. This message will later be communicated to the masses through local religious networks. In a slow yet steady manner, all religious faiths are leaning towards the same sets of values and will eventually converge into humanism.
