Thank you Dawn for explaining and exposing the two Kingdoms. The Kingdom of God vs. the Kingdom of Satan.

Satan builds his Kingdom with physical stones.  Satan and his minions (i.e. members of the various secret societies such as the Freemasons) use physical stones (i.e. hewn stone)(Exodus 20:24-26)(1 Kings 5:15,17,18)(1 Kings 7:9). Satan's church is physical, such as a visible edifice or organization.  In Freemasonry, Lucifer (a.k.a. Satan) is referred to as "The Great Architect of the Universe" or "The Great Architect".  The Freemasons refer to themselves as "Master Builders" or "Builders."  Freemasonry had its origins in the building of medieval cathedrals.  In the late Middle Ages, masons gathered in guilds or lodges, regulated by statutes.  Each new member had to undergo an apprenticeship of seven years and to swear an oath before they could receive the status of mason.  Masons also orchestrate the building of the human civilization and societies, as we are seeing today with the New World Order (a.k.a. the Great Reset).

God builds his Kingdom with living stones.  The Lord Jesus Christ is the Stone (Daniel 2:34-35) which the builders refused/rejected (Psalm 118:22-23)(Matthew 21:42).  Stones are spoken of as illustrations of Christ and His people.  He is the living stone (1 Peter 2:4-9), the corner stone (Isaiah 28:16)(Acts 4:11-12), and the only foundation that can be laid for eternal life (1 Corinthians 3:11).  The Church of God, is not a visible edifice or organization but it is a Spiritual House, of which every believer in Christ is a member (Acts 20:28)(2 Corinthians 6:16)(Ephesians 2:19-22)(Colossians 1:18,24).  Jesus is the high priest (Hebrews 6:20)(Hebrews 7-10).  In Christ we are as priests (Revelation 1:6; 20:6) because we have direct access to God through Jesus who is our mediator (1 Timothy 2:5)(Galatians 3:19).  Burnt offerings are no longer required as they were in Mosaic times (1 Samuel 15:22-23)(Psalm 40:6-7)(Hebrews 10).  Instead, spiritual sacrifices are given which is the yielding of ourselves to God for His service (Psalm 51:16-17)(Romans 12:1-2).

The prophet Isaiah presents the Lord Jesus Christ in striking contrast to all others. (Isaiah 28:14-22). Men may make a covenant with death and with hell, a refuge of lies and a hiding place of falsehood, but that will all be swept away.  The only foundation that abides is Christ Himself.  There are many Scriptures which clearly explain the differences between God's

(Spiritual) Kingdom and Satan's (Physical) Kingdom.

(Matthew 21:42) Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

(Acts 4:11-12) This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

(1 Peter 2:4-9) 4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
