The obelisk is there because it stood in Nero's circus when the first Christian martyrs were killed. Period.
And Sunday is ‘holy’ because the savior was raised that day..so says Rome..
Another story that fits Rome’s sun worship..
That story loses something too when Passover can fall on a day other than goddess Friya’s Day..
Rome’s ‘sun’ day holy worship only fits with their pope authorized solar calendar..
It all falls apart with the biblical calendar He gives in His sky..
The calendar He gave us on His 4th day according to Genesis.
Coincidently, today is His 4th day on His calendar.
The world, thanks to the pope Gregory calendar names it (at least in America) Tiw’s Day instead this month,
Some false god that gets a day every seven thanks to Rome..
The pope’s ‘sun’s day will be a work day on our Heavenly Father’s calendar for the remainder of His month..
Babylon will fall.. period..
Isaiah 46:1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
Jeremiah 50:2 "Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say, 'Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.
Catholic can't deny where it originally came from.
"The obelisk was originally erected at Heliopolis, Egypt, by an unknown pharaoh of the Fifth dynasty of Egypt (c. 2494 BC – 2345 BC). During its history of c. 4400 years (at the start of the 2010s), the obelisk has been successfully moved three times.
The Emperor Augustus (c. 63 BC – 14 AD) had the obelisk moved to the Julian Forum of Alexandria, where it stood until 37 AD, when Caligula ordered the forum demolished and the obelisk transferred to Rome. He had it placed on the spina which ran along the centre of the Circus of Nero, where it would preside over Nero's countless brutal games and Christian executions.
It was moved to its current site in 1586 by the engineer-architect Domenico Fontana under the direction of Pope Sixtus V; the engineering feat of re-erecting its vast weight was memorialized in a suite of engravings. The Vatican Obelisk is the only obelisk in Rome that has not toppled since ancient Roman times. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter%27s_Square#Obelisk]
For what purpose did it stand there and why was it never torn down???
