Royal Arch Chapters are spread throughout Asia, Africa, Europe and Australia and in the US we have over 750,000 members in 3,000 Chapters. The Degrees of the Royal Arch are four, the last of them being the Royal Arch Degree often described as "the root and marrow of Freemasonry". It is the story of Jewish History during some of its darkest hours. Jerusalem and the Temple are destroyed. The people of Israel are held captive as slaves in Babylon. Candidates for this Degree represent those set free to return home and engage in the noble and glorious work of rebuilding the city and the Temple of God. It is during this rebuilding that they make a discovery that brings to light the greatest treasure of a Mason .... The long lost Master's Word.
