It was 1314, and clearly marked in history as an island in the middle of the Seine in Paris, where I once lived three years and could have studied all this in intense detail, but I was way too young anyway, so historical study was 1,000,000 light years away. His ghost from what I have discerned and studied does not haunt. What satan gets may be set forth to haunt. I am quite certain where Jaque will be, and what stature he will be given, and right now he is probably quite content waiting for the Time with others. I certainly don't believe God just leaves them there in a cold grave. Obviously He has more imagination than that. I read Peter Palmer the Trial of the Templars, which is total historical facts from the records of the French court and the inquisition. There are three excellent books on the Trial. If you ever want the finest in historical factual narrative, John Robinson's Fire Dungeon and Sword is beyond excellent. Robinson is an old Marine, so he certainly had a handle writing of the some of the world's finest soldiers. There are no Templars now, Yaccov. Please, please do not degrade them further. They were appropriated by the masonic order and satan in general. The first sign of it particularly mentioning TEMPLARS in tandem with satan studies, and how to climb up the masonic pole seems to be from occultic writings of the 1750's. The truth is nothing appears before then but the Parsival thing, which only HINTS at Templars, and is twisted to look like them. The web sites are almost obscenely twisted lies. Reading all of them makes me almost spiritually nausiated to the point of mild physical nausia. I will never go near them again, except hopefully to add my own website one day. Read Burhams (Burnam ?) "The Knights of God." It is under the religious sction of course of libraries. Without that and a knowledge of the Benedictine order of the 1000-1400 period, you will wallow in lies upon lies upon lies. Robinson's book is excellent. Zoe VAnderberg's history of the Crusades is an exhilerating look at true history. I find factual history much more exciting than stupiud novels, unless they are Tolstoy, Dostoyevshi or the Bronte sisters. Frankly, nothing is as wild and unbelieveable as the Middle Ages. Heaven will be wall to wall folks from the Middle Ages, just throngs upon throngs of them. 1000 to 1300 in France is called the Age of Saints, for good reason. It breed Holy Spirit revival after Holy Spirit revival. Unfortunately, most of those with the Holy Spirit were quickly killed by the Catholic KGB, the Inquisition. Folks with the Holy Spirit don't take kindly to crawling to priests and paying for God's attention and the like. And as for "templars in Europe evolving into freemasons" it is quite totally impossible. The order was made completely illegal and those monks who were not banished to the St. John's order in Spain wre hunted down for years. There is so much insantiy surrounding the Templars I really hate to even bring it up. I would say believe whatever you wish. It is not within my power to change anyone's mind unless they want to read the same 50 books, nearly, that I have, and that from interlibrary loan, and then still research a lot in the Brittanica, etc. I would say that to change my mind I would have to be put through the same inquisitional horrors the brothers went through. Most of them simply died on the tables at the hands of their fellow Benedictine or Dominican "priest inquisitors" or rotted in the dungeons of disease. Those who openly maintained their Christian innocence were burned alive in groups of 50. It's not really a happy discussion, the Poor KNights of the Temple. I pray God in Heaven will finally avenge their honor, but that is almost beyond a miracle that can be done. It does not seem possible at this juncture.
