Billy Graham - "America's Pastor"

America's Pastor and Friend of the World

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

I believe some of the greatest evidences that we are living in the season of deception (Revelation 20:8) is the picture that emerges as we look back (with a far more discerning eye) at the Religious Industrial Complex, it is nothing short of astounding!

This is why I constantly repeat that the most guarded deception of our day is our actual location on the biblical timeline of history. This one truth alone functions like a pair of binoculars that brings the lay of the land into crystal clear focus.

I have very vivid memories of watching Billy Graham on TV as he stood in front of massive audiences speaking with such a commanding voice. I recall watching crowds of people respond to his message and flock to the altar. Of course there were individuals that were genuinely converted at his rallies because God’s Word doesn’t return void. Yet, looking back at Billy Graham, the man and his life, he was just another character that Jude 1:4 warned about.

As I survey the Religious Industrial Complex, it is clear that one of the most important players of the last century was Billy Graham, ‘pastor to the presidents’.

Graham’s spiritual lineage is quite interesting. Sunday School teacher, Edward Kimball would lead D.L. Moody, (famous friend of Charles Spurgeon), to convert to Christ in front of a shoe store in Chicago, there is actually a landmark at the sight of his conversion.

D.L. Moody impacted FB Meyer, who reached Wilber Chapman, who partnered with the ridiculously theatrical baseball player, Billy Sunday, who had a major impact on Mordecai Ham who was preaching a revival when a 16 year old Billy Graham was 'converted'. I have included a Photo of one of Mordecai Ham's revival flyers...notice on the list (top left) is "church enlistment".

In 1939, Graham was ordained by a group of Southern Baptist clergy in Palatka, Florida. The Southern Baptist denomination is (probably from its inception) deeply infiltrated by the handkerchief club. A 2000 updated SBC report found that over 1,000 SBC pastors and some past presidents have been freemasons. This link is a bit dated but you can read more here.

In 1940, Graham graduated with a Bachelor of Theology degree...then enrolled in Wheaton College in Illinois.

Billy Graham was probably most famous for his massive altar calls which were highly monitored. Information was carefully gathered from each and every convert and the names were then forwarded to a local church, I suppose for ‘enlistment’ purposes.

The following information is taken from the book “Billy Graham and His Friends”, by Cathy Burns. You can read the link here…it reveals how deeply infiltrated the entire Graham Evangelist Association really was.

• A past director of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), William M. Watson, was a freemason [p177];

• Another director of Billy Graham’s EA, David M. McConnell, was also a freemason [Ibid].

• The co-chairman of the Billy Graham Crusade Advisory Committee for the St. Louis Crusade in 1973, Arthur Lee Malory, was a 32nd degree freemason [Ibid].

• Graham has referred to Jesse Bader as a “godly” man and as being one of Graham’s “VERY close advisers”, yet Bader was a freemason [p158].

• Graham has shared a platform with Andrew Young – who was a freemason [p104].

• In his crusades, Graham used Roy Rogers – a 33rd degree freemason [p488], Dale Evans – a freemason [Ibid], and Burl Ives - a 33rd degree freemason [Ibid].

• The luncheon guest list when Graham received the Lowell Thomas Award (Thomas was a freemason [p388]) included Hugh Downs (a DeMolay – a Masonic organization) [p389], Dan Rather (another DeMolay) [Ibid] and Paul Harvey (another DeMolay [Ibid]). As Burns says: “Of course, Billy Graham has bragged up the DeMolay organization. According to a Masonic book, “The Clergy and the Craft”, the author states ‘The clergy represented in this volume are proud to be both Masons and Ministers of God’ … we also find this statement by Graham: ‘There are the young people upon which the hope of America’s future rests and DeMolays are part of this group....May God richly bless all DeMolays as they continue their good work’ [p390].
  Graham has called Mark Hatfield “a devout evangelical” and “a great Christian leader” [p16], yet Hatfield was a 33rd degree freemason [p14]. Hatfield was on the judging panel which awarded Graham the Templeton prize. Graham recommended Hatfield to Nixon as a running mate [Ibid]. Graham also recommended Walter Judd as a Nixon running mate, yet Judd was a freemason [Ibid].

• Who ‘made’ Billy Graham? William Randolph Hearst was Graham’s first major backer, yet Hearst’s organization was run by freemasons [p56]. Back in 1953 the chairman of the board of RCA, a man called David Sarnoff, got Billy Graham onto NBC (every Sunday night!). Sarnoff was a freemason [p49].

• Billy Graham calls Brooks Hays “my old Christian friend” and an adviser, yet Hays was a freemason [p58].
  At the 1992 Portland, Oregon, Billy Graham Crusade only Shriner clowns were allowed to perform. To become a Shriner, a person must first be a 32degree freemason! There were other clowns available, but they were not allowed to perform. That seems quite odd, doesn’t it? Is Graham subtly trying to get a message across? [p177].

Norman Vincent Peale
Cathy Burns points out that Billy Graham … and (33rd degree freemason) Norman Vincent Peale had a friendship of about 35 or 40 years. In 1957 at the Madison Square Garden Crusade, Graham had Peale on the platform with him. In fact, Graham said that Peale was very supportive of his meetings, but there’s probably a reason for this, almost 400 decision cards were turned over to Peale!… NO other church had received as many cards as Peale, in fact, ‘Peale’s church received more cards (373) than ALL of the 14 Conservative Baptist churches COMBINED (311)” [p26].

Cathy continues: “Peale … had already been a mason for over 30 years and had also been the Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of New York for several years BEFORE he sat on the platform with Graham [In 1960 Graham invited Peale to address a group of evangelical leaders in Switzerland].” [pp26-27] Cathy later notes that “Graham said on December 6th, 1966, at a National Council of Churches luncheon, ‘I don’t know ANYONE who has done more for the kingdom of God than Norman and Ruth Peale, OR have meant any more in my life – the encouragement they have given me’. Over 30 years later (after Peale’s death), Graham was STILL praising him. In his 1997 autobiography he noted: ‘…Dr. Peale was warmly supportive of the meetings [at Madison Square Gardens in 1957]. Although our EMPHASIS in preaching differed, I found him a deeply committed believer” [p31]. Cathy also points out that “Peale endorsed a biography for Graham” [p32].

Let me just condense those last 2 paragraphs, Graham had 35-40 year old friendship with Norman Vincent Peal, a freemason for over 30 years and Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of New York. Graham proceeds to steer nearly 400 ‘decision cards’ to Peal, more cards than all the other churches combined.

Billy Graham is one the MANY undercover infiltrators within the Religious Industrial Complex who made Zionism/futurism the standard consensus among virtually every denomination across the board.

Throughout the Old Testament, rebellious Israel had shed the blood of the prophets that were sent to them by God. Then they rejected Christ and rode the political system of Rome to have Jesus crucified, ‘give us Barrabas….we have no king but Caesar’…and in the book of Revelation they rode the political beast of Rome one last time as they became drunk with the blood of the Saints. Jesus had rightly warned them that days of vengeance were coming.

Now, compare Graham’s words in the video above to Revelation 18:20-24 where we see the (past-tense) complete demise of Jerusalem, a city so wicked she was likened to Babylon.

Revelation 18:20-24 (emphases mine)

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Let’s see what else we can learn about Billy Graham.

So, according to Graham, the body of Christ comes from all the Christian groups around the world, or outside the Christian groups…everybody who loves Christ or knows Christ, whether they are conscience of it or not, they’re members of the body of Christ….you don’t need the Bible, you don’t need to know the name of Jesus…

Graham continues…God is calling people out of the world for His name whether they come from the Muslim world or the Buddhist world or the Christian world or the non-believing world, they are are members of the body of Christ because they have been called by God…they may not even know the name of Jesus but they know in their heart that they need something that they don’t have and they turn to the only light that they have and I think they're saved.

’ve met people in various parts of the world….that they had never seen the Bible or heard about the Bible or heard of Jesus but they believed in their heart that there is a God and they tried to live a life that is quite apart from the surrounding community in which they live.

Robert Schuller: I’m so thrilled to hear you say that…there’s a wideness to God’s mercy. Graham: …There sure is.

Matthew 7:13-15 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

As if that’s not enough to make your skin crawl, here is Billy Graham, in his own words advocating for infanticide!

…I think if you are going to have free abortion as some are advocating, that why don’t wait till the baby is born and then kill it? Rather than, uh, having the mother’s health impaired by the abortion? Well, this was a different thought you see…and of course I do believe in abortion for those who have been raped or diseased to the point that the child is affected…

Does this sicken you as it does me? This man is advocating for full blown infanticide! Billy Graham is not merely exaggerating for the purpose of shock value as one might do to make a point. Listen closely, Billy Graham is actually stating his position and this is further supported by Larry King’s matter of fact response.

This statement was not made in a secret, undercover location, it was made on a massive public platform….where was the outrage from the church? Where were the spiritual leaders of the day? Why wasn’t this man shamed off his platform and his ‘ministry’ relegated to a trash heap?

I have noticed that Graham and his crusades seemed to be a sort of launching pad for so many unknown individuals that went on to have their own very impressive platforms that included books and movies.

Billy Graham also has a very busy training center called the Cove. Below is an interesting photo of the speaker’s schedule at the 2008 conference

Researching Billy Graham is like falling into a bottomless pit, there is no end to the rot. I’m going to share a couple of links that expose Graham and his alarming associations far more extensively. To read further, click here and here, (keep in mind the first link may have some bones to spit out).

Folks, we are living in Satan’s little season of deception, Revelation 20:8
