1611 TITLE PAGE
This is the title page from my edition of the 1611 AKJB, first printing in 1611. Does anyone see any masonic symbols? Please let me know.

offtop, but 360 degrees of stereophonic madness in a news-headline. and its not the christian faith that they are referencing (initially). also poster-design failure. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16251917/trick-treat-posters-councils-police-religious-beliefs.html
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't know a freemason symbol if I was staring at one 😂
I believe the bird with her chicks at the bottom is a depiction of Matthew 23:37.
All that being said, I pay very little attention to the materials publishers include outside of the actual text of scripture. Only the scripture matters to me, provided it matches the first printing of the 1611 held in the British Museum in London. Publishers include all kinds of things, like maps, for example, as that is the only way they can claim something of a copyright. As for the actual 1611 text, it has a king's copyright which guarantees no one else can claim copyright. In conclusion, staring at complex artwork is about like cloud gazing, where you find all kinds of shapes that resemble various animals and other things. It is better to not let one's self get sidetracked by peripheral things that have nothing relevant to do with the word of God.
Agree with this! I pay very little attention to the artwork. I just "hear" what keeps people away and that's because of their worldly wisdom. I say yes I've heard all this before and ignore it - and that The Holy Ghost leads us to all truth
many, but i will not, i find it off-colour, but not concerned, before i would have prolly pinned tail on donkey, now it's just all noise
Possibly (sorry for multiple postings here and not gathering myself in one thought, just thinking out loud here) -- it could all be "copycat" by the Jesuits/Masons - but this is what smarty pants people full of worldly wisdom point out as a reason NOT to read the 1611 AKJB
oh and look at the bird too as it relates to the Monstrance - as seen here (note the price, of course) (plus shipping) good grief https://www.stjudeshop.com/church-supplies/24k-gold-plated-radiant-sunburst-monstrance-with-crystal-accents/?srsltid=AYCX9vIEwuGm1Z0ht2s8wawNats3IrRc49QoJPDmL7S-PeO0Wt-jJmxg
The Monstrance (Eucharistic Adoration)
I'm looking for the Monstrance, but can't seem to find it.
Possibly that "sunburst"
The sunburst on the left and the moons on the right may reference several Bible passages, in particular Luke 21:25. Again, if these are masonic symbols it's because they took them from scripture. It's a bit like the LGBTQ movement highjacking the rainbow. Scripture first speaks of it as a sign in the sky from God that he would never flood the entire earth again. Yet, most people today relate the rainbow the LGBTQ.
I have also heard the artwork identified as Rosicrucianism
well what people like to point out is the very top - the Tetragrammaton
The symbols referred to as the "tetragrammaton" are Hebrew letters for YHWH, which is the proper personal name for God in the Bible. It may be something the masons highjacked, but it far precedes masonry by thousands of years. So, I don't know if I would read to much into that.
