Interestingly the Lion and the Eagle are the symbols of Leo and Scorpio, which are supposedly the most "powerful' signs of the Zodiac. the eagle is also the culmination of the evolution of Scorpio, which rises from the Serpent to the Eagle by means of the Dragon (according to Dion Fortune, although she does not elaborate further on this statement)
Manly P. Hall shows an image of Chronos as a winged lion-headed human with a serpent wrapped around him in "Secret Teachings". Since Freemasonry itself is under the rulership of Saturn, it is quite likely that the "Lion's Paw and the Eagle's Claw" handshake has something to do with this form of Saturn.

One can see where the idea of reptileans comes from.
Maybe this might be the basis for the following:
The origin of the temporal and spiritual streams of evolution is as follows:
Jehovah created Eve, a human being.
The Lucifer Spirit Samael united with Eve and begat a semi-divine son, Cain. As he left Eve before the birth of the child, CAIN WAS THE SON OF A WIDOW, AND A SERPENT OF WISDOM.
Then Jehovah created Adam, a human being like Eve.
