The Lions Club – Is the Lion’s Club Satanic?
Do these ‘Masons Without the Apron’ serve the Lion of Judah (the Lord Jesus Christ), or the ‘roaring lion (the devil, satan)?’
“Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
The devil truly has devoured countless of unwitting souls in these ‘fraternal’ organizations through ‘subtle’ guile and deception down the wrong path:
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field…” (Genesis 3:1)
And this serpent is none other than “…the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan.” (Revelation 20:2)
The Lions Club symbol, showing a pair of lions on either side of a gold-rimmed disc, is displayed at the entrance to countless cities across America and throughout the world.
As we have said, these lions do not depict the ‘Lion of Judah’ portrayed in the Bible as symbolic of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 5:5)
In fact, quite the opposite. The pair of lions depicted on the logo for the Lion’s Club have nothing to do with anything good and holy. Rather, it is an occult symbol for sun worship.
Such worship is strongly condemned in the Bible and it is a ‘great abomination’ in the eyes of the Lord to commit such a thing:
“Behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, …with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshiped the sun toward the east…”
“Is it a light thing that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence …therefore will I also deal in fury.” (Ezekiel 8:15-18)
The Lions Club logo at the entrance to thousands of small towns and cities serves as a warning that these areas have already been conquered by the ‘roaring lion’ and his evil false religion.
These ‘All American Cities’ are under the influence of ‘lions’ – malevolent, controlling spiritual principalities – along with numerous places in the rest of the world.
In fact, Lion’s Club International has millions of members not only in the U.S, but also worldwide.
These evil ‘territorial spirits’ are thereby able to exert a vast and permeating influence through such organizations as Lions Club, among many others.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
BELOW IS A MORE IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY OF THE MEANING BEHIND THE LIONS CLUB LOGO:
The official logo for the International Lions Club features two lions facing away from each other surrounding a circle in the center.
This logo strongly resembles the symbol for the Egyptian Aker. In Egyptian mythology, Aker (also Akar; plural Akeru) was one of the earliest gods worshiped, a deification of the horizon.
There are strong indications that Aker was worshiped before other known Egyptian gods of the earth, such as Geb (Egyptian god of the Earth – the god of the Masonic ‘G‘?).
As the horizon, Aker was seen as symbolic of the borders between each day, and so was originally depicted as a narrow strip of land (a horizon), with heads on either side, facing away from one another, a symbol of borders. These heads were usually those of lions.
Aker guarding the entrance and the exit to the Underworld.
Aker embraces the world – he is represented as the sign of the horizon in-between two lions (sometimes these may be human forms instead) which are seated back to back (one animal faces west – where the sun (the circle) sets each day and begins its journey into the night and Underworld, the other lion faces the east where the sun rises each morning free once more from the realm of darkness).
SYMBOLOGY BEHIND THE LION’S CLUB LOGO:
In ancient times the Lion was the companion of the Goddess (Isis in Egypt). At times it represented her power to destroy and was associated with Ishtar, Astarte, Cybele and Kali. The lion was a symbol of Time, which these goddesses embodied and controlled. Sometimes the lion might be depicted with two heads looking back into the past and ahead into the future. One still sees the two lions of the Goddess at the entrances to buildings where one is the lion of yesterday and the other of today.
AKER: (The Similarities Cannot Be Coincidental!)
Aker, an ancient earth-god, signifying the horizon, the point where night turns to day, where day turns to night, and therefore depicted as two lions seated back to back, facing away from each other. They are also called ‘Yesterday’ and Tomorrow’, as one lion faces towards the east where the sun rises and begins the new day, the other lion faces west where the sun sets and descends into the Underworld. Aker also guards the gate to the Underworld and opens it for the King to pass through.
The area between the lions´ backs often shows the circle of the sun as if rising between two hills. This also signifies the sun´s journey across the sky during the day, as well as it being safely carried on the back of Aker during its dangerous night journey in the Underworld each night.
Aker is an earth god who also presided over the western and eastern boarders of the Underworld.
In early representations, Aker is shown as a narrow strip of land with a human or lion head at both ends But later he was shown as the foreparts of two opposing lions, sometimes with human heads, facing away from each other. One lion faces west while the other faces east. In between them is the sign of the horizon. In the later period of Egyptian theology the two lions making up the Akeru were named Sef and Tuau – ‘yesterday’ and ‘today’ respectively.
Ancient Egyptian mythologists believed that during the night the sun journeyed through a tunnel that existed in the earth – its entry into the tunnel caused the night, its emergence again bringing the day once more. Each end of this tunnel was guarded by a lion god.

Isis is a goddess in the Egyptian belief. She was most prominent mythologically as the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus, and was worshiped as the archetypical wife and mother. AKER is the guardian on either side of the gates at the entrance to the temple of ISIS.
(Remember OSIRIS on the FEZ?!) You know, the Fez that’s red from the BLOOD OF CHRISTIANS – Whom they wish to do away with!! (They just don’t fit it with their pagan, immoral plans…)
OSIRIS – God of the Underworld, Lord of the Dead…Sound familiar??? Who could that be? Although Set is the main ‘bad guy’ in Egyptian mythology, represented by Sirius, the Dog Star. Of course, Satan is know by a myriad of names and forms – a true ‘god of confusion.’
Throughout the Graeco-Roman world, Isis becomes one of the most significant of the mystery religions, and many classical writers refer to her temples, cults and rites. Temples to Isis were built in Iraq, Greece, Rome, even as far north as England where the remains of a temple were discovered at Hadrian’s Wall. At Philae her worship persisted until the 6th century, long after the wide acceptance of Christianity. Don’t think there aren’t those who still worship her today, whether inadvertently or not.
MYSTERY BABYLON: (MASONRY)
A mystery religion is any religion with an arcanum, or secret wisdom. In a mystery religion, an inner core of beliefs, practices, and the religion’s true nature, are revealed only to those who have been initiated into its secrets. (The ancient Greek word “mysteria” comes from the word “mystai”, meaning eyes closed.)
Common cult components of a mystery (Latin misterium) religion include sacred symbols and rites with personal spiritual and magical efficacy, purification rituals that may include abstinence from taboo foods or actions (compare asceticism), baptisms and other initiation rites and sacraments. Mysteries provide a threshold to a beatific vision. The highest promise for the mystai (Greek, “initiates”) was the comprehension of the natural life-death-rebirth cycle as it was evoked through participation in a cult’s mysteries, and in some mystery religions even a blissful afterlife through salvation, which was conferred by the perennial and redemptive death of a “dying-and-rising” god. (‘I will be like the most high’ – Satan’s counterfeit).
Initiation into the mysteries of a deity might be divided into several stages through which an adherent had to ascend to obtain knowledge of the higher mysteries of a particular cult. Mithraism had seven stages towards ultimate understanding.
Ancient Egyptian mythologists believed that during the night the sun journeyed through a tunnel that existed in the earth – its entry into the tunnel caused the night, its emergence again bringing the day once more. Each end of this tunnel was guarded by a lion god, and the two gods were called Akeru (also known as Akherui):
First mention of Aker
Aker is an old god from ancient Egypt – he is first mentioned in the Pyramid Texts, and from the passages in which his name occurs is thought that he had a very clear and well defined role in the Early Egyptian kingdoms.
‘Yesterday’ and ‘Today’
In the later period of Egyptian theology the two lions making up the Akeru were named Sef and Tuau – ‘yesterday’ and ‘today’ respectively.
In ancient times the Lion was the companion of the Goddess (Isis in Egypt). At times it represented her power to destroy and was associated with Ishtar, Astarte, Cybele and Kali. The lion was a symbol of Time, which these goddesses embodied and controlled. Sometimes the lion might be depicted with two heads looking back into the past and ahead into the future. One still sees the two lions of the Goddess at the entrances to buildings where one is the lion of yesterday and the other of today.
(Remember OSIRIS on the Masonic Shriner FEZ?!) – Luciferian Mystery Religion
OSIRIS – God of the Underworld, Lord of the Dead…Sound familiar???
This is none other than Satan himself.
Melvin Jones (January 13, 1879 – June 1, 1961)
Melvin Jones founded the service club, Lions Clubs International, on June 7, 1917. His stated intention was that Lion’s Club would be “Masonry without the apron.”
He himself was a high-level Mason, having been initiated into the Garden City Lodge No. 141 in Chicago, Illinois in 1906.
In keeping with the Masonic ‘false works’ philosophy, he also believed that, “You can’t get very far until you start doing something for somebody else.”
And, he certainly did do a lot: By 1950, Lions membership had passed the 400,000 mark. Just how many more lives have been led astray since that time?
