Many different people join Freemasonry for many different reasons. On the outward surface, there is no doubt about it that Masonry seeks to portray itself as an ethical society that exists for the propagation of good through its charitable work and ethical moral teachings. However, as we shall see in this teaching, the ultimate goal and true purpose of Freemasonry is not chiefly one of a sociable and charitable nature or one that concerns itself with outward morality but rather that which is common all the mystery religions, namely to bring about the spiritual awakening of the initiate by imparting to him the knowledge that within himself is contained a spark of the true light of the Divine and end which Freemasonry exists to assist.
In concluding this teaching on Freemasonry, an overview of some of the other societies that have been directly influenced by Freemasonry including: The Odd Fellows, Prince Hall Masonry, Orange Order and Greek Letter Organizations.
We shall see; Masonry will never and can never build the kingdom of God on earth. Its values and principles; its secrets and mysteries never will and can never usher in the golden utopia, namely the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man and the Immortality of the Soul that they so desperately seek. Only when Jesus Christ comes will His kingdom be ushered in; a kingdom of righteousness and true peace. For those Christians professing Christ and the Lodge, they must choose in the light of these teachings who they will serve; if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him! You cannot serve both!
