Is there any prophecy, prediction or otherwise that states that a being/prophet/person etc, will come forth and offer a solution to a masonic/worldwide problem and with this knowledge masons can achieve their purpose, a catalyst of sorts?
No. Masonry has no prophecies. No utopian goal. No elevation of any one individual to any greater importance than anyone else. In fact, that would go against Masonic teaching. We believe all men are equal, and all men have the power within themselves to affect change. There is no Masonic messiah. (Though any individual Mason is free to worship as he pleases or have faith in the messiah of his own choice. Masonry doesn't contradict this, and in fact, encourages him to be active within his own religious beliefs.)

There is no Masonic doctrine on "greater good". Greater than what? "Lesser good?" That said, the Freemason is ALWAYS welcome to ideas. Thinking and knowledge and education are good things in the eye of Freemasonry. But your question seems deliberately obtuse. If you actually ask what you mean, I may be able to provide a better answer.

If this is the case which you have said then I ask is the freemasons welcome to ideas that with action would solve a current problem that is in line with the greater good and morally correct to do?

I don't think that's what he's asking.
I don't think he's asking whether one individual will rise as unequaled to the rest..
but rather.. ///he's really wanting to know.. without knowing he does..///
is that if there is.. one individual.. being groomed and positioned as to being... "PRAISED" as unequaled to the rest as far as judgment and rationality goes.. visionary for world direction etc..
there's a BIG difference between all being equal.. and one being promulgated as a messiah theatrically.. for the unwitting masses to view as such.
ok maybe he's not asking that..
maybe he's actually asking if Masonry has some idea of some supernatural messiah coming...
whereas Deism laughs at such idiocy, where supernatural divinity lacks natural intellectual analysis.
so "literally"?..."no".
but you'll see it in your media.
no doubt.
you'll see a messiah.
a manufactured one.
because the necessity of one is just to maneuver the herds' perceptions.

See it for what you see it but I am not tricking.
I am trying to see if I get the answer I hope for that is all.
Nothing more nothing less.
I see your point though.
I never said I am correct as I stated above.
Call it faith then.
Remember I am not asking anyone to reveal a secret unless it is a secret I am unaware of and of course it could be as I am not a mason. I am not actually sure if it is a secret that needs to be revealed to reveal my knowledge.
I need to see certain things before I am going to respond that is all.
Sorry for being a pain if you find I am as that is not my intention towards others as specifically stated.
I would recommend that you do not take further interest in this thread as you seem to be getting frustrated, why not check back as I am doing to see if I get a reply that I seek?
No offence or anything like that intended.

Thanks for the assumption.
I only used catalyst as it was a good word to use.
I actually do not watch heroes.
I love how people judge a book by its cover.

Thank you.
I was wondering how long it would be before I got an answer to that.
JoshNorton gave me the other part of the answer to this so thank you both.
Cheers

This only occured to me when this person recently told me that if there was anything going to happen in this world the freemasons would be the ones to stop it.

What is the "problem" which you have a "solution" for? If you don't want to say the solution, fine, but if you state the problem then its easier to figure out what group to target this towards. I highly - highly - doubt it is freemasonry, as you seem to think freemasonry has much more power or some sort of quasi-religious purpose which it does not.
Who told you that? Again, this gives freemasonry far more power than it really has. Freemasonry isn't going to stop anything from happening.
