Masonic eschatology, in its ultimate revelation, given only to
the few Masons who have actually been initiated into Masonry's
highest degree (as opposed to receiving merely an honorary
degree), could be summarized by the most common Masonic symbol:
The "G" resting within a tool called a "square", with a tool
called a "compass" standing over them and sometimes also
standing upon a globe.
The "G" could stand for the "Gnosis" which the Antichrist will
bring the whole world into, for he will be a gnostic (1 John 4:3).
The tool called a "square" looks like an "L", with its two points
upward like the two horns of the Luciferian hand-sign. The "L"
could stand for "Lucifer". The Antichrist will bring the whole
world into the worship of Lucifer the dragon (Revelation 13:4,
cf. 12:9).
The tool called a "compass" standing over the "G" in the "L",
and sometimes also standing on a globe, looks like an "A", which
could stand for the "Antichrist", who will establish the "Gnosis"
found in "Lucifer" so that it en-"compass"-es the globe.

When Lucifer wants to draw men into his clutches, he usually
doesn't first appear to them as Lucifer, much less as "Satan"
or a red demon with a pitchfork who hates people. Instead, he
first appears to them by some other name, and as an angel of
light (2 Corinthians 11:14) who only loves and helps people. In
this way he gains the admiration of men, he gets them to listen
to him, to trust in what he tells them, hoping that sometime
later he can very gradually, step by step, degree by degree,
initiate them into his ultimate deception.
