Marine Corps and U.S. Masonry share same birthplace
This came as a shock to me, I was replying to another post and decided to do a little research before posting and came across this. I was quite shocked, every Marine has to learn the Corps‘ history (but was never told the whole story) I had no idea the Marine Corps had so much in common with Freemasonry so much so that they share the same American birthplace. It leads me to wonder if the first Marines were in fact Masons as well?

Marine Corps and U.S. Masonry share same birthplace
A very simplistic rendition of what was in fact quite a complicated history of Freemasonry in Pennsylvania. The Grand Lodges in Pa were in fact under English control until 1786, here's some proper detail:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Lodge...nnsylvania This would in fact mean that the creation of the US Marine Corps (like Freemasonry) traces it beginning back to England and our very own Royal Marines. what the New Advent Encyclopedia says - The name Lucifer originally denotes the planet Venus, emphasizing its brilliance. The Vulgate employs the word also for &the light of the morning& (Job 11:17), &the signs of the zodiac& (Job 38:32), and &the aurora& (Psalm 109:3). Metaphorically, the word is applied to the King of Babylon (Isaiah 14:12) as preeminent among the princes of his time; to the high priest Simon son of Onias (Ecclesiasticus 50:6), for his surpassing virtue, to the glory of heaven (Apocalypse 2:28), by reason of its excellency; finally to Jesus Christ himself (2 Peter 1:19; Apocalypse 22:16; the &Exultet& of Holy Saturday) the true light of our spiritual life. |
