Revival Series Pt 2: Enlightenment in the Land of the Plumed Serpent

The article is a bit of a "crash course" on key historical and philosophical movements that led up to the American Revivals, particularly focusing on the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and their connections to ancient Mystery School teachings. Topics covered include:

The Scientific Revolution & Enlightenment which are presented as progress, but are actually the revival of ancient esoteric knowledge rooted in the serpent’s lie from Genesis 3 about the divinity of man. Men like Copernicus, Newton, Francis Bacon, and Locke who served to shape scientific and philosophical thought were connected to secret societies anchored in these occult traditions.

Though formally organized in 1717, Freemasonry traces back to older Mystery School traditions. Its goal is to reshape society by reviving "lost ancient wisdom," to the ends of the deification of man—a final rebellion against God.

Rather than being a literal lost civilization, Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis is an intellectual concept; a "university of thought" that has shaped education through Jesuit and Freemason founded universities. Our Enlightened society's focus on reason, empiricism, and humanism is based in these ideas.

Enlightenment thought blended with Protestantism has shifted the focus from individual salvation to the broader "betterment of humanity," which aligns with Theosophist Alice Bailey’s vision to use Christianity to usher in a one-world religion.

These intellectual movements, framed as progress, were in fact a strategic return to ancient esoteric knowledge, undermining biblical truth and preparing the way for a deceptive spiritual agenda.
