of Genesis 11:9, and finds that the very word from which a club derives its name is that which is em- ployed when it is said,
that in consequence of the confusion of tongues, the children of men were scattered abroad on the face of all the earth. The
name of Cush is also 'Khus' for 'sh' frequently passes in Chaldee into s; and Khus, in pronunciation, legitimately becomes
Khawos, or, without the digamma, Khaos." (The Two Babylons, Hislop, p. 27.)
In Isaiah 46:1, it appears that Nebo and Eel are synonymous. "Eel boweth down, Nebo stoo- peth." And the symbol of
this god (the club) is called the hammer in Scripture. "How is the HAM- MER of the whole earth cut asunder and broken!
How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations." Jeremiah 50:23. Hence, it was Eel and Baal, or Cush and
Nimrod, who caused the inha- bitants of the earth to be scattered all over the earth by introducing Astrology, Magic,
Necromancy, etc., building an antichrist society that would change "the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made
like to corruptible man and to birds and fourfooted beasts and creeping things. Where- fore God also gave them up to
uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves, Who changed the
truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."
Romans 1:23, 24.
Now look at the name "Hermes," from whom these Secret Societies and occult fraternities say they draw their
philosophies. The word Her, says Hislop, in Chaldee is synonymous with Ham, or Khem [26] the burnt one. This name
formed a foundation for covertly identifying Ham with the Sun, and so deifying the Patriarch after whose name the land of
Egypt was called [27]. The Scriptures themselves state that Egypt was founded by Ham. "Israel also came into Egypt; and
Jacob so- journed in the Land of Ham." Psalms 105:23, 27, Hislop goes on to say:
"Her is the name of Horus, who is identified with the Sun (Bunsen, Vol. I, p. 507), which shows the real etymology of
the name to be from the verb to which I have traced it. Then, secondly, 'Mes' is from Mesheh for, without the last radical,
which is omissible (see Parkhurst, Sub Voce, p. 416], Mesh, 'to draw forth.' " The 'Iho Babylons, Hislop, Loizeaux
Brothers, p. 25.
What all this means is "Mes" was used by the ancient Egyptians to show the genealogy of the name applied. This will
explain the Egyptian names of Kings of Egypt such as Rameses, which means "The Son of Ra," who was the Egyptian
Sun-god, whose incarnation was "Osiris." Hence, "Hermes" or "Her-Mes" means "The Son of Her," or Ham, who was Cush
[28]. "And the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan." Genesis 10:6.
Now it was really Cush who was worshipped as Hermes, Eel, Nebo, Mercury, etc., that was generally represented by the
ancients as their god who was the author of Astrology, Magic, Spiritu- alism, etc., on this side of the flood. Here are some
more astonishing facts about modern Secret Societies that even most of their own members are not aware of.
Like the Rosicrucians, the Freemasons trace their origins to the Hermetic writings. And, ironical- ly enough, the
Freemasons admit that it was Nimrod along with Hermes (Cush), who founded their order. The following will be taken
from an authorized publication of Freemasonry called An Ency- clopedia of Freemasonry and Its Kindred Sciences, by
Albert G. Mackey 33", p. 322:
"HERMES" * IN ALL THE OLD MANUSCRIPTS & RECORDS WHICH CONTAIN THE LEGEND OF THE
CRAFT, MENTIONIS MADE OF HERMES AS ONE OF THE FOUN- DERS OF MASONRY." Mackey goes on to say:
"He found one of the two pillars of stone, and found the science written therein, and he taught it to other men. There are
two persons of the name of Hermes mentioned in sacred history. The first is the divine Hermes called by the Romans
Mercury. Among the Egyptians he was known as Thoth. Diodorus Siculus describes him as the secretary of Osiris; he is
commonly supposed to have been the son of Mizaim, and Cumberland says that he was the same as Osiris. There is,
however, much confusion among the mythologists concerning his attributes.
"The second was Hermes Trismegistus or Thrice Great, who was a celebrated Egyptian legislater, priest, and philosopher,
who lived in the reign of Ninus, about the year 2670 (BC). He is said to have written thirty six books on theology and
philosophy, and six upon medicine, all of which are lost. There are many traditions of him; one of which, related by
Eusebius, is that he introduced hie- roglyphics into Egypt. This Hermes Trimegistur, although the reality of his existence is
doubtful, was claimed by the alchemists as the founder of their art, whence it is called the Hermetic science, AND
WHENCE WE GET IN MASONRY, HERMETIC RITES AND HERMETIC DEGREES."
Now in the same volumes of An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences, by Al- bert G. Mackey, Vol. 2, p.
518 we read who this other founder of Freemasonry was:
