Summary
In this seventeenth lecture, Fr. Athanasios interprets Revelation 2:18-29, with 2 Thessalonians 2:7 and Colossians 2:8-10, through Christ's condemnation of Jezebel in Thyatira. He presents Jezebel as a scriptural type of secret heterodox teaching within the Church and defines Gnosticism by a dualistic conflict of good and evil principles, which he regards as irreconcilable with Christian monotheism. The lecture extends this claim to Freemasonry, citing Masonic symbols, initiation texts, and the letter G as evidence of continuity with ancient Gnostic vocabulary and doctrine. Paul's warning against deceitful philosophy is read as condemning Gnosticism and, by extension, Freemasonry, while rationalism is described as a modern form of substituting knowledge for faith.
