Luciferianism Decoded

Freemason Albert Lantoine, 33° wrote a book in 1937 addressed to the Pope in which he said, "Possessing critical and inquisitive minds, we are the servants of Satan. You, the guardians of truth, are the servants of God. These two complement one another. Each needs the other." 7

Interestingly, he later corrected himself and said that he did not use "quite the correct term" and should have said "servants of Lucifer." The distinction may be lost on some.

The name Lucifer is derived from Jerome's Latin Vulgate translation of Isaiah 14:12: "Quomodo cecidisti de caelo, Lucifer, qui mane oriebaris?" (How art thou fallen from heaven thou Lucifer, son of the morning?) Patristic tradition taught that Satan had another name before his fall, which the Church Fathers denominated as "Light bearer," and which Jerome rendered into Latin literally, as "Lucifer" (luc / lux ([light] + fer [bearing). In the original Hebrew he is called the "shining one," to whom Nebuchadnezzar and all other tyrannical kings of the earth who are idolatrously worshipped, are compared.

Therefore, the masonic identification with Lucifer is an attempt to invoke the supernatural force that energizes tyrannical rule. (For an allusion to Lucifer as Satan, see Jesus' statement in Luke 10:18). The severe scriptural animadversion to the perfection and glories of Lucifer/Satan as celebrated by Freemasons and the OTO, can be found in Ezekiel 28:12-15, while verses 16-19 combine characteristics of Satan and a tyrannical king who is energized by Satanic characteristics, in the same way that Isaiah 14 connotes both Lucifer and the kings of Babylon who pattern their reign after him.
