Occult/Masonic Terms in Modern Bible Versions

Kingdom of Light

Colossians 1:12 reads as follows in the King James Bible:

"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:"

Many modern Bible versions change saints in light to "kingdom of light."

Freemasonry's sons of light seek to advance the kingdom of light. A key way that they accomplish this is by placing many of their Masonic/occult terms in Bible translations.

Albert Mackey's Enclyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences mentions the "kingdom of light":

". . . Manes, the founder of the sect of Manichees, who describes God the Father as ruling over the kingdom of light and contending with the powers of darkness." (1)
