At the start, the documentary included mostly those who had misappropriated Christianity, for instance, the Knights Templar who surely did. Near the end, Jesus was listed plainly as a leader of the Illuminati. That method of deception is the same process that the Serpent used to misrepresent God on the Tree of Knowledge. In other words, the writers of that cunning (like the Serpent) documentary created propaganda (the truth used to badly influence all those who hear.)
There was much truth in the documentary. For instance, there is much symbolism in Judaism. Concealed in most of it, is the notion of Christ. There is much in the Old Testament which is the foreshadowing of Jesus:
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (Heb 10:1).Jesus is represented by the tree part of the Tree of Life, God is its "root" and the waters which feed the root and bear the twelve fruits of the spirit is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The sun shined on the Tree of Life, and produced a shadow. The shadow of the Tree of Life was Jesus foreshadowed. The Tree was symbolic, but the "shadow" in Hebrews 10 above was Jesus - "a shadow of good things to come." Why Jesus? Because Jesus is the "good" thing since only God is good and He is Jesus by Name (Mat 9:17).
The Bible, including the Law, poetry, wisdom literature, and prophets are all symbolic and their common thread is Jesus Christ. All of the Word points toward Jesus because Jesus is the Word (John 3:1-2,14). When the Word was spoken, it was Jesus whose Voice was heard! Adam and Eve, before they sinned, saw Jesus plainly inside the Garden. After they sinned, they could only hear his Voice as he walked in the cool of the day (Gen 3:8).
When I write commentary, I look for symbolism. To know the truth, it is imperative to know that the patriarchs and the prophets saw Jesus; they looked God in the face and lived. Thus, the entire Old Testament is all about Jesus. That idea is imperative to understand, but I do not misuse Holy Scripture. My intent is to reveal the mystery of God in such a way, that the reader sees Jesus in the Old Testament. Paul spoke of the mystery of God:
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Cor 2:6-8)There is a mystery of God. Secret societies believe that there is a mystery to Christ and to understand the mystery is required for salvation. The Gnostics, those apostle-era false prophets, propagated that there is secret knowledge required to be a Christian. They are partially right: in the Old Testament only a few saw God face to face and lived. Everyone else had to understand that it was Jesus who they saw! However, after God showed His "face" incarnating Himself as Jesus, the mystery was revealed; it was Jesus all along!
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (Ephes 3:9).Those in the Old Testament who understood the mystery of God are the first layer of the Christian Church (Ephes 2:20). Thus, there is secret knowledge of old:
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith. (Rom 16:24-26).Jesus revealed the mystery: that salvation was never by the Law, was always by grace, and was not only for the Jews but the Gentiles as well. Thus, secret or mysterious knowledge was there all along but only a few saw Jesus in ancient times. When God put on flesh, everyone could see God, and were without excuse. When they saw that Jesus Is God, that was the mysterious knowledge which God finally revealed to all mankind.
Now for my point: the heresy of Kabbalah also understood the symbolism in the Bible, and the heresy of Gnosticism understood mysterious knowledge. On the other hand, those two groups of people perverted the truth. The Gnostics failed to understand that Jesus was revelation of the ancient mysteries, and the Kabbalah never saw the Godhead (Holy Trinity) in the Tree of Life!
Few know of Kabbalah. It is Judaism distorted. Kabbala is the Hebrew word for "something received" and portends to have reception of secret knowledge and the solution to mysteries. Kabbalah did not get it right! They had their own version of the symbolism in the Tree of Life. Wikipedia explains Kabbalah: "Jewish Kabbalah is a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between God, the unchanging, eternal, and mysterious Ein Sof (אֵין סוֹף, "The Infinite"), and the mortal and finite universe (God's creation). It forms the foundation of mystical religious interpretations within Judaism."
To be honest, the Old Testament does have much symbolism. Only those who have studied Jesus thoroughly can see Jesus in the Old Testament. The Jewish Kabbalah saw the symbolism, but understood it much differently. They created their own version of the Tree of Life (see graphic below).

| Kabbala "Tree of Life" (Wikipedia; "Kabbala") |
In Kabbalah the root and branches have a much different meaning:
| Category: |
Sefirah:
|
|---|---|
| Super-conscious | 1 Keter - "Crown" |
| Conscious intellect | 2 Chokhmah - "Wisdom"
3 Binah - "Understanding"
|
| Conscious emotions | (Primary emotions:)
4 Chesed - "Kindness"
5 Gevurah - "Misericord" 6 Tiferet - "Beauty" (Secondary emotions:) 7 Netzach - "Eternity" 8 Hod - "Splendour" 9 Yesod - "Foundation" (Vessel to bring action:) 10 Malkuth - "Kingship" |
I see the attributes of "goodness" in the Kabbalah tree but I don't see the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. They even point out that it is the intellect and emotions. I submit that the Kabbalah Sephirot is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the "Kingship" therein is Satan's assumption of kingship. Their brand of secret knowledge is the hidden truth of the Forbidden Tree. What is it that the Serpent wanted? Kingship! This "tree" is the "world tree" of the eastern philosophies. It does not represent Jesus but Satan.
The documentary claimed that Kabbalah was the first organized attempt to illuminate the world, and those who developed Kabbalah were the first Illuminati. Not so! There "illumination" was darkness as they conveniently misrepresented the truth about the Tree of Life, eternity, and the Divinity. They made the Serpent into a God and appropriated the Serpents tree as God's. Even if Kabbalah were the first Illuminati, their god was not Jehovah but Satan!
The writers of the documentary said that Kabbalah pointed toward Jesus, and that Jesus intended to create a New World Order. Scripture indicates many places that it is Satan who desires to create a New World Order, not Jesus. Jesus came to re-create man, not the Kingdom. The heaven and the earth have always been God's Kingdom - the heaven His throne and the earth His footstool (Isa 66:1). God merely wants to return His Kingdom back to the way it was - a re-genesis. Satan, on the other hand is the demon who is creating a New World Order, not Jesus!
The writers misrepresented Jesus's Purpose. They did it so subtly that the Serpent would have been proud of their deception!
There have been many contenders for kings of a New World Order: Cain, Pharaoh, Tiglath-Pileser, Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, Caesar, Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, Ghengis Kahn, Peter the Great, Napoleon, Robespierre, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Ho Chi Minh, and even the European royalty. Nowhere do we find Jesus attempting to set up a Kingdom on Earth - a New World Order! Blaming Jesus for the desires of the Devil is the ultimate heresy. The Fifth Commandment describes that sin quite well and its penalty: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
For those of you who read my commentary regularly, you know that this commandment points toward misappropriating Jesus's Purpose by taking God's Name - Jesus - frivolously. It has little to do with saying God's Name carelessly, but taking God's Purpose of saving the world wrongly.
The Illuminati was bad, and may still exist. On the other hand, those who saw a divine plot to set up a New World Order entirely misrepresent the truth and Jehovah God. Many Christians hang onto the notion of a New World Order conspiracy advanced by Jewish financiers and communists. Indeed, they may be tools to meet the initiative, but the conspiracy is Satan's desire to be king of the heaven and earth. The New World Order is his, and all those who attempted that in the past are merely Satan's useful fools!
