FINAL WARNING: The Birth of Tyranny
Satan, when he was an angel, was known as Lucifer, the ‘Bearer of
Light,’ and being that the group’s name evolved from this, we can see
the underlying nature of its goals. In addition, May 1st was a great day
for all communist nations, where it was known as May Day; and it is
also known as a special day to witches.There were some earlier groups, with similar names, such as a group
known as the ‘Illuminated Ones’ which was founded by Joachim of
Floris in the 11th century, who taught a primitive, supposedly Christian
doctrine of “poverty and equality.” The Rosheniah, or ‘Illuminated
Ones,’ (which was influenced by an earlier group known as the Eastern
Ismaelites, after Ismael, the son of Jaaffer; Batiniyeh, ‘internal’ or
‘secret’; or just by their nickname, the ‘Assassins.’) was a group in
Afghanistan during the 16th century, who sought the ‘illumination’
from the Supreme Being, who wanted a class of perfect men and
women. After reaching the fourth degree, ‘Enlightened One,’ the
initiate would receive mystical powers, and when the eighth and final
degree was reached, they were told they had achieved perfection. An
Afghan scholar said that their purpose was to influence people of
importance to establish harmony in the world, and were devoted to
fight the tyranny of the Moguls, who were the rulers of India. The group
survived until the 1700’s.The Alumbrados (‘enlightened’ or ‘illuminated’) was a mysterious
movement in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries that believed
that when a person achieved a certain degree of perfection, they
experienced a vision of God, and then entered into direct
communication with the Holy Spirit. At this point the soul would enter
a state of limbo– not advancing or going back. Once this level was
achieved, a person didn’t have to perform any good works or get
involved in any religious activity, because they had received the ‘light.’
Once they had received the ‘light,’ they would possess superior human
intelligence.Their members mainly came from reformed Franciscans, and the
Jesuits. Their unusual claims caused them to be criticized and
harassed, and the Inquisition issued Edicts against them in 1568, 1574,
and 1623. Ignatius de Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, was put in jail for
being a member. This condemnation forced the movement into France,
where in 1654 they surfaced as the Illuminated Guerinets.
