THE PARTHENON of Athens, Greece parthenon

Please consider this information along with the information I give about the Colossus of Rhodes and Statue of Liberty, Notre Dame and the Twin Towers of NY City, and other buildings before you reject the idea that there is a God who erected buildings to symbolize Himself.

The rectangular building (measured at the top step of its base to be 101.34 feet wide by 228.14 feet long) was constructed of brilliant white marble [symbol of Christ’s purity], surrounded by 46 great columns, roofed with tiles, and housed a nearly 40 foot tall statue of the goddess Athena. The statue, known as Athena Promachos, Athena the Champion, was made of wood, gold and ivory and could be seen from a distance of many miles. [So is Jesus a Colossus. (See my discussion about other places Jesus is depicted as a Colossus and the significance of this fact in my discussion of the great height of Achilles of Homer’s Iliad.)]

It is clear from Homer’s Odyssey, among other texts, that Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, is a symbol of Jesus, who is called Wisdom. (see my discussion of Proverbs 1,8 which accompanies my discussion of Gen. 1:26 toward the beginning of my discussion of the types of Christ in the Old Testament.)

After the Parthenon was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC, it was resurrected in the 33rd year: 447 BC.  God had this happen to symbolize that Jesus was resurrected in His 33rd year, after His body had been destroyed!

 

The Greek word for Parthenon- Parthenos- means “Virgin,” and a statue of the Goddess of Wisdom used to dwell there.  God had that happen to symbolize that Jesus, Wisdom or the Word Itself, did indeed inhabit a Virgin!!!!!!!!!  That is why God made this perhaps the most famous monument of antiquity!!!!!!!! AND THAT’S WHY IT’S STILL STANDING TODAY SO THAT THE WHOLE WORLD MAY KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!!! And it was built by Pheidias, who is “universally regarded as the greatest of Greek sculptors”

TRULY DID GOD PROMISE KING DAVID ABOUT JESUS: “HE SHALL BUILD A HOUSE FOR MY NAME, AND I WILL STABLISH THE THRONE OF HIS KINGDOM FOR EVER.” (2 Samuel7:13)  For the “house” Christ built was the body in which He dwelled on Earth!  So actually, the Parthenon Temple is a symbol both of the Virgin Mary in whose womb Jesus was, and of Jesus’ body in which the Divine Nature dwelled!!!  “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up…But he spoke concerning the temple of His body.” (John 2:19,21)

Although the nearby Temple of Hephaestus is the most complete surviving example of a Doric order temple, the Parthenon, in its day, was regarded as the finest. The temple, wrote John Julius Norwich, "Enjoys the reputation of being the most perfect Doric temple ever built. Even in antiquity, its architectural refinements were legendary… Some studies of the Acropolis, including the Parthenon, conclude that many of its proportions approximate the golden ratio.  [So is Jesus and the other two persons of the Trinity the most perfect, beautiful, being.]

Shortly after this [in 5th century], the Parthenon was converted to a Christian church. In Byzantine times it became the Church of the Parthenos Maria (Virgin Mary), or the Church of the Theotokos (Mother of God). It was the fourth most important pilgrimage in the Eastern Roman Empire after Constantinople, Ephessos and Thessalonica. [These facts confirm that God intended the Parthenon as a symbol of the Virgin Mary’s body.]

In 1687, the Parthenon suffered its greatest blow when the Venetians under Francesco Morosini attacked Athens, and the Ottomans fortified the Acropolis and used the building as a gunpowder magazine. On 26 September a Venetian mortar, fired from the Hill of Philopappus, blew the magazine up and the building was partly destroyed. [Jesus can be attacked but never destroyed!]

Here are some other buildings which used to be found in the Parthenon:

Pausanias, Description of Greece
There is also a statue of Phrixus the son of Athamas carried ashore to the Colchians by the ram. Having sacrificed the animal to some god or other, presumably to the one called by the Orchomenians Laphystius, he has cut out the thighs in accordance with Greek custom and is watching them as they burn. [Truly was Jesus the “Lamb of God” (John 1:29) sacrificed for our sins.  For a lamb is a young ram.] Next come other statues, including one of Heracles strangling the serpents as the legend describes. [Truly does Jesus, of whom Heracles is a type, strangle Satan, symbolized by the serpent. (ex. In The Book of Revelation)] There is Athena too coming up out of the head of Zeus, and also a bull dedicated by the Council of the Areopagus on some occasion or other, about which, if one cared, one could make many conjectures. [Truly was Jesus “dedicated” for our sins, for in Numbers 19 He is symbolized by the sacrificed cow, the female version of a bull.] and there are statues of Zeus The statue of Athena is upright, with a tunic reaching to the feet, and on her breast the head of Medusa is worked in ivory. She holds a statue of Victory about four cubits high, and in the other hand a spear; at her feet lies a shield and near the spear is a serpent. [Truly did Jesus, symbolized by Athena, bruise the head of the serpent, Satan.  (Gen. 3:15)]
