A strange anomaly ?

I was googling some historic pictures recently when I came across these photos of the White grave site.

Please correct me, but is that a Masonic Obelisk standing there?

Hmmmm.

I've seen this type of marker before in an old Episcopal cemetery.

I'm curious~ Wouldn't a stone marker of that era probably be built by masons? Weren't the masons the stone-workers of the period?

It would stand to reason (to me) that the style of the marker would reflect the style of the craftsmen who built it . . .

Hmmmm.

Well, do you think there are some dark secrets in the work of the SDA? Do you think the Devil is working through the SDA to keep the law alive so he can keep people dead?

Hmmmm

That's an interesting perspective of things, but you may be onto something!

Oblisks are a very common grave maker. If you go to Whitman Mission you will see several used to mark the graves of those who died during the Indian attack.

That is true enough. But Christians usually prefer a cross marker, though SDA's avoid crosses like they're of the plague, or something.

But I'm sure that the people living then understood the significance and symbolism of the Obelisk. After all, those who have studied ancient religions and also modern masonic symbolism know why Washington DC is laid out the way it is, and the role the Needle in the mall plays interacting with the setting of the reflective ponds, etc. The same goes for the Obelisk in St Peter's square in Rome.

BTW, JN Andrews has such a grave marker too.

There are many symbols in the world, pagans used crosses too. There are only so many shapes one can reasonably make out of stone. There is no wonder it is popular in so many cultures and religions. A symbol only has the many one pours into the symbol, most don't pour the many of a symbol from another time and culture and religion into how they use a symbol.

Now for bonus points, which pillar bes that obelisk? Jachin? or Boaz?
