it's because the believe mankind has angelic dna i.e. we are nephilim and we can be like the gods - apotheosis - becoming a god. hence "the apotheosis of washington" on the capitol rotunda ceiling; washington ascending to godhood. the masonic trestle gives you all the hints. it has jacob's ladder on it, whereby samyaza and azazel descended from heaven to earth and corrupted mankind as they took wives and bred with them.  the black and white floor is the god above (yhwh) and the god below (azazel); who is given yhwh's powers in the apocalypse of abraham. this is why heebs sacrificed in the temple to both yhwh and azazel as the bible relates. you want shit in the here and now, on earth, then you sacrifice to azazel.  the pillars boaz and jachin are usually topped with the sun and moon, being the eyes of horus, one eye the sun, the other the moon. horus is azazel in the egyptian religion.  both taught mankind the arts of war both ruled as kings both had mothers who stole the true name of god and became powerful witches both had fathers confined to the underworld tl/dr: freemasonry is azazel worship. so is judaism. this is why yhwh kept smiting the shit out of them in the bible.
