Lincoln Memorial: Doric Temple of Apollo?

The Lincoln Memorial, on the extended axis of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is a United States Presidential Memorial built to honor President Abraham Lincoln. The architect was Henry Bacon, the sculptor was Daniel Chester French, and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin. The building is in the form of a Greek Doric temple, and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln. The memorial has been the site of many famous speeches, including Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered on August 28, 1963, during the rally at the end of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Early examples of the Doric order include the temples at Paestum, in southern Italy, a region called Magna Graecia, which was settled by Greek colonists and retained a strongly Hellenic culture. The Temple of the Delians is a “peripteral” Doric temple, the largest of three dedicated to Apollo on the island of Delos. It was begun in 478 BC and never completely finished. During their period of independence from Athens, the Delians reassigned the temple to the island of Poros. It is “hexastyle”, with six columns across the pedimented end and thirteen along each long face. All the columns are centered under a triglyph in the frieze, except for the corner columns. So the Lincoln Memorial is a reconstructed temple to Apollo. Does the name sound familiar Biblically? Does Apollyon “the Destroyer” ring a bell? In Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo, Apóll?n; was the archer-god of medicine and healing, light, truth, archery and also a bringer of death-dealing plague; as the leader of the Muses (Apollon Musagetes) and director of their choir, he is a god of music and poetry. (Don’t forget Satan’s role with music making in Heaven. Ezekiel 28:13 - “… the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.” As a god of light, Apollo is connected to Prometheus, the light bringer and therefore easily connected with Satan or Lucifer. Apollyon’s name, in Greek“Destroyer” is cognate with the Hebrew Abaddon (lit. “place of destruction,” but here personified) and the Greek god Apollo is also a “destroyer” in his aspect of controlling pestilence. Apollyon seems to be equated in Revelation with the Beast. The term “Apollyon” was often associated by early Christians with The Devil, and fancifully described, and is still used as an alternative name for him. It becomes clearer and clearer that the Lincoln Memorial, memorializes a great man… in the Satanic Temple of Apollo, Abaddon, and/or Apollyon.
