Signs, Symbols and Seductive Entertainment

Today we find a lot of occultic symbols in jewlery. Many Christian children are wearing them as part of their outfits with realizing the orgins or the meaning of the symbols. Today we will look at a few of the most common occultic symbols and see what the Bible has to say about them. Inclusion Activity : Design your own symbol.

|Symbol |Origin |Meaning |Ref. |

| |Satanism |The Anarchy symbol stands for the abolition of law and the rejection of authority. It is commonly used| |

| | |by those into punk music and has moved into the heavy metal music circles as well. |Dan 7:14 |

|Anarchy | | |John 5:27 |

|(may also be | |The Bible places forth the ultimate authority, God the Creator, and for us today, Jesus Christ his |Rom 13:1-2 |

|inverted) | |only Son. It also tells us to submit ourselves to authority in the form of governments and family |Acts 7:24-26 |

| | |structures. |Eph 6:1 |

| |Egyptian Occult |The Ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol of life often associated with fertility. The top portion | |

| | |represents female and the lower portion male. | |

| | | | |

|Ankh | |The worship of the reproductive aspects of the human body and accompanying sexual immorality is | |

| | |condemned as idolatry by Gods word. God hated the symbols of idolatry in Egypt and in Ezekiel decides|Ezek 20:8-9 |

| | |to take out his wrath on them. | |

| |Roman |Originally called the “Cross of Nero” this symbol signifies the defeat of Christianity. In it the | |

| | |Cross of Christ is turned upside down and is “broken”. It became the symbol of “Peace” in the 1960’s. | |

|Broken | |The symbol is common among heavy metal rock music groups today and is perhaps the most common symbols | |

|Cross | |we know. Its origins are subtly satanic. | |

|or | | | |

|Peace | |The Bible tells us that Christ was not defeated on the cross. Quite the contrary. Through his death on| |

|Symbol | |the cross man can be victorious over death and hell. Christ also rose again and is now alive. He | |

| | |defeated death and Hell for us on the cross. It is ironic that it symbolizes peace to many today for |Rev 1:18 |

| | |the very struggle it claimed victory over is still going on today and is the most important struggle | |

| | |in the universe. |Matt 10:34-36 |

| |Unknown |This hand symbol is currently a sign of recognition between members of the Satanic cults. It is also | |

| | |used among heavy metal rock groups to emphasize the impact of negativism the music is making. | |

|Horned Hand | | | |

| | | | |

| | |The Bible encourages us not to copy or emulate evil groups. We are to have “nothing” in common with |Lev 19:27-28 |

| | |them. |Eph 5:11 |

| | | |3 John 1:11 |

| |Roman |The double bladed ax was a Roman symbol for justice. The inverted version is the satanic symbol for | |

| | |“Anti-Justice”. | |

|Inverted | | | |

|Ax | |The Bible tells us that God will judge the whole earth and all that have lived on it. Jesus not Satan |Acts 17:31 |

| | |will meter out justice for all. |Rev 19:11-16 |

| |Roman |This symbol originates in ancient Rome and adds an inverted question mark to the cross “questioning” | |

| | |the existence and/or validity of Christianity. |John 3:14-16 |

|Cross of | | |John 5:24 |

|Confusion | |The New Testament of the Bible makes perfectly clear that it is what we believe about Jesus Christ and|John 6:40 |

| | |what he did on the cross that entitles us to eternal life. The question this symbol raises intending |Rom 6:23 |

| | |to cast doubt is actually the most important one a man can ever ask. |1 Tim 1:16 |

| |Occult & Satanism |The Pentagram is associated with black magic. It is often found inverted and represents the “goats | |

|Pentagram | |head” a symbol specific to Satanism. The Hexagram is also referred to as the Seal of Solomon. It is | |

| | |considered the most powerful symbol of the occult. These symbols are often used on Satanic alters. | |

| | | |Lev 19:31 |

| | |The Bible tells us to stay away from all forms of magic including mediums, fortune tellers, snake |2 Kings 21:6 |

|Hexagram | |charmers, witchcraft, etc. |2 Chr 33:6 |

| | | |Jer 27:9 |

|666 |Satanism |These are 3 different forms of the Mark of The Beast. While the 3 sixes is commonly understood, the | |

|FFF | |F’s are less obvious as F is the 6th letter of the alphabet. Other groupings of 3 sixes oriented | |

| | |differently are also found today. | |

|Mark of the Beast| | | |

| | | | |

| | | | |

| | | | |

| | |The Bible tells us that during the period known as the Tribulation, this mark will be required by the |Rev 13:16-18 |

| | |world government in order to buy or sell and will be imprinted on the hand or forehead. Scripture also|Rev 14:9-11 |

| | |clearly warns believers not to take the mark. | |

|( |Witchcraft |The Symbol represents the moon goddess Diana and the “morning star” Lucifer. The symbol is associated | |

|Diana & | |with various kinds of witchcraft. | |

|Lucifer | |The Bible tells us witchcraft is detestable and we should stay away from all forms of it | |

| | | | |

| | | | |

| | | |Deut 18:10 |

| | | |Gal 5:20 |

| |Satanism |These Symbols are used to identify involvement in black masses or masses where Satan is worshipped. | |

| | | | |

|Black Mass | |The Bible tells us that Satan has always wanted to be worshipped. It was his desire to exalt himself | |

| | |above God and be worshipped. Worshipping Satan is not new, he even convinced 1/3 of the angels to |Isa 14:13 |

| | |worship and follow him. |Rev 12:3-4 |

|( |Hinduism |The Yin Yan symbol stands for balance. Specifically for a balance between the “white” and the “black” | |

|Yin Yan | |magic or between good and evil. While its origin is from the Eastern Hindu religion it has found its |Rom 6:1-5,12 |

| | |way into the west via the New Age and is being used as an emblem on a number of products. |2 Tim 2:22 |

| | | |Rev 9:21 |

| | |The Bible says there should be no balance between good and evil in us. While we are to be aware of our|Rev 21:8 |

| | |basic sinfulness we are not to accept it and are encouraged to put it to death. We are also told to | |

| | |flee evil and have nothing to do with magic, white or black. | |

| |New Age |Crystals and Pyramids are symbols of power in New Age religions. I once met a man who wore a | |

| | |cylindrical crystal entwined by a snake. Can you guess the meaning? Well lets see, the snake is a | |

| | |biblical symbol of sin and Satan, the crystal, the New Age symbol of spiritual power. Interesting to | |

|Crystals | |note that the necklace was given him by his wife - she was a self proclaimed witch. | |

|or | | | |

|Pyramids | |In the Bible we also find a snake entwined on a pole - In the book of Numbers we see that the snake | |

| | |on the wooden pole was dead and anyone who looked upon it was saved from the plague God had sent to |Num 21:6-9 |

| | |punish the Israelites. The meaning was a prophecy - Sin and its punishment death would die on a pole | |

| | |(the cross of Christ) and anyone who believed it would be saved. | |

Seductive Entertainment:

There are two other extremely subtle tools Satan is using today to seduce today’s children away from the light and into the darkness. Both are considered harmless entertainment by many Christian families. They are television, movies and video games.

Television/Movies:

Today’s cartoons have a seen a tremendous increase in plots and characters involving sorcery, spells, magic, magicians, mutants with special powers, incantations, power beams, spiritism, telepathy, crystal power, witchcraft, evil and occult. Subtle plots often contain object lessons that often end with the characters accepting something of evil as part of the good. Today’s horror shows are horribly occultic and focused on displaying the power of evil. When a group of 4-6th graders at a Christian school were asked why they liked the Movie Nightmare on Elm Street. They responded ..

...... I like how peoples head get chopped off .... I like the way people look when their dead ... and It’s the weapons they use to kill people I like the best ...

Have we forgotten the Bible says .. Phil 4:8

Video Games:

Video games have become unbelievably occultic in the last 3 years. The best seller Mortal Kombat combines violence and supernatural powers to allow kids to kill without a second thought all played out against a backdrop of Satanic and occultic symbols. Nintendo games like Solstice, Final Fantasy and Dream Master all promote the occult and have New Age themes. Dungeons and Dragons rewards murder and the finding of evil powers.
