Double-heads and Obelisks, etc.
The Freemasons have indeed infiltrated all official organizations in this world for centuries. Ecumenical Patriarch Joachim III was an official Freemason in the 19th century, there were many official bishop Freemasons in the 20th century and now we are in the 21st century Patriarch Bartholomew in a published book is mentioned as Chairman of the Freemason Lodge H.A.N. Metropolitan Hilarion of the ROCOR admitted to posing with what were obviously satanic Freemasons in their suits who go nowhere without their identifying Masonic jewelry. Something else to recognize is that historically the Frankish Freemasons were the Crusaders who sacked Constantinople in the year 1204 and the conquerors had many heretical influences over their captives. The double-headed eagle has been an unholy pagan image of pagan Freemason history since the Hittites. The Frankish Freemasons brought the unholy image of the double-headed eagle to Constantinople the very year of 1204.
The Russian Church was largely insulated from these heretical influences until Ivan the Terrible, the Time of Troubles in the 17th century followed afterward. At this time the Russian Church no longer remained Orthodox but accepted many Latin innovations from Patriarch Nikon and Peter the Great. The real Russian Orthodox Old Believer Christians were then were called the Stranniki (Wanderers) who began in the 18th century at the beginning of the Freemason World-wide Industrial Revolution. Cathrine the [not so] great invited even more Freemasons into Russia. The last Orthodox Christians known as the strict Stranniki renounced all worldly associations from this time onward and many Russians were sympathetic and agreeable towards them. The strict Old Believers never accepted the Freemason style image of the double-headed eagle or the double snakehead staff, etc.
The Lord gave a prophecy about eagles at the end of time in Luke 17:37.
“Where there is a corpse, there the eagles will gather.”
