I used to be naively of the view that truth would always be found in the opposite of what liars (in this example, Freemasons) said. When I began studying the VC information (and wider), Google couldn't make its mind up what I believed and started placing some really strange advertising in my searches!They say it's an initiation of some kind into the "Mysteries."
Manly P. Hall (who was not a mason at the time he wrote "Secret Teachings Of The Ages" I think, though) tried to explain that it was more pagan than Christian, and that the New Jerusalem represented a masonic ideal. Not surprising because it's cube-shaped. I always think of the Borg in Star Trek TNG when I think about this cube-shaped city...

Albert Pike also wrote about it a little.

In a battle, what you do with the information provided by someone you believe to be a liar may be critical. If the liar knows you regard them as a poor source of guidance, they can still play all kinds of havoc. I have started to think that deception is far more sophisticated than just selling you a line, and that our calculated reactions to certain kinds of information are also part of the equation.
Here, if people start to buy the idea that Freemasons wish to "use" the narrative of Revelation to achieve their objectives, then even if a whole series of events occurred right out of the end pages of the Bible, half the enlightened Truthers out there would put things down to the power of the hidden hand of Masonry and fail to see what was right in front of them!!!!
Btw @Helioform - just re-reading your comment above about the New Jerusalem, do you find it interesting that popular culture has managed deconstruct and misrepresent various elements in such a way that God's future Kingdom seems to you an undesirable state of being? As to being a cube, you are only told the base and the height... Might a pyramid be a more likely structure?
