"Judas is a lion 's wheat, from my prey my son, you have become an artist: he sat down like a lion and a lion.
Gen. 49: 9
In the blessings of Judah and the tribes stated to the tribe he was the founder of, the word nest of the lion symbolized power. Therefore, the crest of the flag of the Jewish tribe was a lion. The Freemason ritual also has the same symbol and enjoys some philosophical and theological interpretations.
For the Christian brothers, the word "lion of the Jewish tribe" refers to the Messiah who is said to have brought light and immortality to the world. For our Jewish brothers, Judah is the fourth son of the patriarch Jacob and the representative is the fourth point discussed in the ancient Freemasonry. Kings David and Solomon are both descendants of the Jewish tribe. But there is a more ancient usage of the legs of a lion that may apply to the mystery of Freemasonry.
Candidates who succeeded in the Mithraic initiative were called Lions and the forehead was marked with the Egyptian cross, ankh. Throughout Mithraic 's entire ceremony, Mithra was made as a sun god who came to the earth to provide himself with his death giving a sacrifice for man and a man' s life forever. After the initiative, the candidate was admired as a person who got up from the grave and was allowed to learn the secret Persian mystery derived from Zarathustra.
Despite the belief that at least one Roman emperor was put into order by the Romans, the Mithra ceremony was the origin of Persia and later moved to Southern Europe. "Mithra" is the sun's Zend-Avesta title, he / she lived in that ball. Mithra is both male and female, and as God, it represented "feminism". The word has recently become widespread among the works of fiction entitled "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. However, as opposed to representing the Holy Grail at Brown's work like Maria McDaren, the women's side of Mithra represents nature and the male's side represented the sun that got nature like animals and plants to grow It was. Understanding this will make it easier to understand the relationship between Freemasonry and Mithra's ceremony.
In the iconic book of Freemason, Mason teaches that the sacred Pythagoras geometry tells him about the most imagined depression and ties humans naturally. How nature's thing is connected. Countless worlds surrounding the mines that the great architects of the universe have bound through the laws of nature. Survey on nature is correctly stated that it first made people study symmetry and order and brought about the discovery of all useful art. Freemason also teaches that the highest intelligence penetrates all the nature, which is further described as a glass ocean in the book of the Apocalypse.
Mithra's Masonic Symbolism Book Rites gains insight into the symbolism of less light (ie, the sun, moon, Mercury) in Freemasonry (later replaced by Lodge Master). That symbolism is intended to explain the natural order of hierarchical authority. As the sun dominates the sun and the moon dominates the night, worshipers should rule and dominate the lodge with equal regularity. But what is the importance of grip on the foot of a lion, even with such widespread evidence of the influence of Masonry influenced by Freemasonry?
Things that began with Mithrath mystery passed three important degrees. In grade 1, candidates were taught about their spiritual nature that must be characterized by trained behavior. In the second degree candidate was instructed to fight against beast of desire and sent to dark recesses on behalf of good and evil, light and dark mediators. Finally, at the 3 rd degree, a cape with the design of the zodiac was established, including signs of Leo representing the lion. Candidates are said to have climbed out of the grave due to the influence of the sun on Leo, or the power generated by the strong grip of the legs of the lion. Other symbol of Misrack is seen in the symbol of Freemason, so this symbol may be derived from a ceremony which can not be ignored. Still, what is the symbolic importance to Mason?
Mithra was derived from the teachings of Zarathrustra and taught that right and wrong exist side by side in the world. Mason is taught by one of its "ornaments" whose existence is checked by good and evil. Real life experience proves that it is. The battle of right and wrong during World War II was displayed clearly in the process of other well-known conflict. The Mithra ceremony also teaches that the good will ever win, as symbolized by the sunrise energy rising east everyday. It is said that large orbs can rise due to the strength of the Leo on orbit which is the grip of the legs of the lion!
As Freemason ultimately passes through the three degrees necessary to achieve Master Mason's position, Kraft acutely acknowledges that they will participate in exercises that they intend to straighten morally I will. Candidates who symbolically rise from the tombs of evil, light and dark crime are finally recognized as appropriate preparations to demonstrate the goodness to other countries of the world. Whether he has successfully used these tools as Master Mason in the past is strictly the responsibility of each candidate. He may choose goodness, evil, light or dark. Doing so will create a temple where the highest architect of the universe, or a tomb in which the evil is eventually thrown.
A Mason who knows why he was raised never dies. He was not raised by falsehood and ridicule - he was brought up by the grasping of the legs of the lion.
