With regard to the Knights Templar, the key here is Gold and Mary, the mother of Jesus.

The Templars established a Gold backed monetary system across Europe and were a direct threat to the usury ( compounding interest) banking system of the Del Banco bankers in Venice who had funded the sacking of the Orthodox Christian Church of the Haggia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) in Constantinople in 1204.

The Knights Templar protected all Christians irrespective of whether they were Orthodox ( eastern Byzantine) or Latins (western Roman,)  including theCathars from the Languedoc in the south of France who were accused of being heretics by the Roman Catholic church, persecuted and burnt at the stake atMontsegur in 1244. 

Their adversaries were the Teutonic Knights who not only attacked Constantinople in 1204, but went on to persecute all Christians who did not give allegiance to the pope and along with the Jesuits established theInquisition where millions were arrested, tortured and burnt at the stake

The Templars helped the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians to build their rock-hewn ground churches in Lalibela after Jerusalem was completely taken over by Muslims.  They were, after all Masons (not to be confused with theIlluminati and the P2 lodge,) with their set squares and their compasses, who had built the great Cathedrals of Europe. All these churches were designed as a microcosm of the macrocosm of the New Jerusalem described in Revelation. Much like the Apostolic mission led by James the Righteous, the first Bishop  of the early Christian church, so these churches were built all over the Christian world.

1:1  James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting..

The Templars were accused of being heretics and of worshiping a womans skull encased in gold. The woman’s head that the Templar’s worshiped, was the Theotokos , a painting of Mary and Jesus which was taken to Russia in 1155 and is still kept there. It is Russia’s most sacred and holy relic.

The Templars were arrested on Friday, 13 October 1307 and  Jaques De Molay, the last Templar  Grand Master, was burnt to death in Paris in 1314 .

Over and above the fact that the Del Banco usury bankers in Venice wanted to put an end to the Gold backed banking system, and that both the King of France and the Vatican wanted to confiscate the gold for their own benefit, the Templars were accused of not being true Christians, in other words giving sole allegiance to the papacy which considers the Pontifix Maximus to be the only authority on earth, owning the planet, all bodies on the planet and all souls as decreed by themselves in the three papal bulls written over 1,000 years after the death of Jesus.

If they had read scripture, they would know that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by the devil with all the kingdoms of the world. Jesus, unlike the papacy, turned the devil down.

Many Templars who escaped, sailed their ships from Marseilles and at first went to Tomar in Portugal.

“Tomar was the Headquarters of the Knights Templar Order in Portugal for nearly 700 years. The Knights Templar castle which dominates the town was constructed in 1160. The Castle, and the Convent of Christ, contained within the site, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site…. The King of Portugal, Dinis, did not believe the accusations made against the Order. Dinis offered the Order protection by persuading the Pope to agree to his forming a new Order, the Order of Christ.”

Many of these noble Knights also sailed to Scotland and built the now famous Roslin Chapel . But what very few people know, is that the Knights Templar were also given sanctuary in Russia and they established an order in Moscow. They did not just simply “disappear” as history would have us believe.
