SYMBOLS

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" (Ex 20:4):

From the outset of Judeo/Chrisitian faith God made it clear as it concerns images and symbol, yet still million of Christians and Jews continue to make, wear and use all types of symbols; pointing it Jehovah or something about him. Even though Duet 4:14-18 states, "And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth."

Not only was 'symbology' an Egyptian pagan practice, but also God knew that the symbolists would eventually give more emphasis to the symbol rather than to the living God - idolatry. In other words, more people are concern with being identified with an idolatrous 'fish' symbol rather than being born again and possessing a relationship with the creator. Christians should avoid all different types of symbols as most often it is rooted in paganism and therefore giving glory to the pagan god - Lucifer- without knowing. Just look at something as the brazen serpent that God instructed Moses to make in the wilderness to heal the people when they looked at it; just a piece of object. Some idoltrous Israelites had to identify a deity with it and it became an idol. Thank God the bible said King Hezekiah, who "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord," broke it into pieces because they began to burn incense to it. Symbols become bad when you start giving some divinity to it, both pagan and Christian. For Christians, God doesn't need nothing to be identified with, he is God all by himself!

When the Israelites left Egypt, God wanted a people that would follow after him wholly on a daily basis and would not rely on nothing else for anything affiliated with him; and that most certainly includes the Egyptian 'symbological' practices. He denouncement of it can be seen through the entire bible and presently seen in the giving of the Law at Mt. Sinai. God said it then and it stands forever, "Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth" (Due 5:8).

Here are some symbols you should be aware of:

Someone asked me about the rain bow, that is now used amongst the homosexual community. The following response will shed some more light on the whole matter of symbology.

The rainbow in and of itself is not an earthly symbol, as we know symbol. If it were, everything in the sky would be. It was a masterpiece by God representing a covenant to mankind. The same God that says not to make images of anything in the heavens.... Then it would become a symbol, because man/spirit innovated it.

The originator of the rainbow is God; therefore the original intent was good and always will be. Therefore, the colors in the sky doesn't represents homosexuality, it represents God's covenant to man. The fish, ankh, etc were originally used for occultism, therefore the original intent was evil and cannot be good. Purpose can never be evaded, whatever you were created to do that will you do. Whatever a thing was created for that's what it is, that's why it was created; regardless of whosoever has it.

The peace sign is a broken cross, representing that they broke Christ’s hands and authority; the unbroken circle represents the unbroken rule of satan. Most people don't know that, they think it means peace. That’s the reason the word occult means hidden, because the world of occultism is a hidden one, people using and doing evil things unaware to the public. In the occult world the more hidden a sign or symbol, the more power it has, says the occultists. In the world of the occult, many symbols are imbued with power by the magician working in conjunction with the demonic spirit world. The wiccan leader Starhawk, founder of the Covenant of the Goddess, knows that well. "To cast a spell is to project energy through a symbol," she wrote in The Spiral Dance, her popular manual for witchcraft. Again be careful - a word to the wise.

". . . we ought NOT to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, GRAVEN BY ART and man's device."
