How exactly is it a mockery of Christ?
Nonsense.Yes, that's just one aspect of it (as a mockery of Christ).
Yes. It requires a huge stretch of the imagination to think that because there are 33 sectors on the UN symbol, and Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, that must somehow mean that the UN is mocking Christ.Nonsense.
That doesn't mock Christ at all.
I’m not into conspiracy theories, even if many turn out to be true. However, if you like such things, the 33 sectors would be most likely connected to the 33 degrees of the Scottish Rite of Freemasons.Yes.

It's incorrect, and who's Albert Pike?This is correct & it was Albert Pike who first introduced Lucifer into the mix.
It's only copying if whoever designed the UN logo thought to themselves, "Ah! Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, so I'll make 33 the number of segments on my logo." Surely you are not saying that the number 33 cannot be used because Jesus died when He was 33.Like I said it is not so much as mocking as copying.
Isaiah 14:12
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Pike certainly was not a good fellow. His ideas are mostly Gnostic and cabalistic. He probably did not worship Lucifer, but he did bring in all sorts of heretical teachings into Freemason doctrine. He didn’t think Lucifer was a real being. He thought of him as a personification of pride. If you want a conspiracy theory, you can’t get one more tangled than the influence of Freemasonry. In my opinion, there is little that is Christian in their teachings, except they sometimes help the poor and children. Low level Masons just enjoy a club, but high level masons are something else.A master 33 degree freemason who wrote a book called 'Morals & Dogma.
MORALS and DOGMA by ALBERT PIKE Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry , prepared for the Supreme Council of the Thirty Third Degree for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States: Charleston, 1871.

LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darknesss! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls ? Doubt it not!
Just wondering - is it known whether the designer of the UN logo was a Freemason?The reason that the 33 sectors of the map in the UN logo might be connected to Freemasons is the push for a One World Order.
