Mysterious Mark Links Bible to Occultism
Since 1881, the Christian world has witnessed an incredible infusion of modern translations of the English Bible. In fact, more than 200 versions were produced in the last 40 years of the 20th century. Each of these translations was promoted as an update or improvement to the Authorized King James Bible produced in 1611.
With every “update”, the translators and those endorsing the bibles have deliberately misled the Christian community. You see, the translation efforts of these versions, including the popular New International Version, have all been based upon an inferior text originating from Alexandria, Egypt that disagrees ninety eight percent with extant manuscripts from which the Authorized Version was translated.
One of the most sinister translations is the New King James Bible. Although it too is translated from the Minority Text of Alexandria, it deceptively bears a similar name with the Authorized King James Bible. One of the most revealing evidences of its corrupt nature is found in the mysterious mark gracing its cover. Thomas Nelson Publishers, publishers of the NKJV, claims that the symbol is an ancient symbol for the Trinity. It is indeed a symbol of trinities. The triquetra or triskele is a pagan design used to symbolize all trinities and especially the realms of air, earth, and sea.
The symbol is very prominent in occult practice where the symbol is used to picture the unholy trinity of Satan, the Anti-christ, and the False Prophet by interlocking three 6’s to represent the Mark of the Beast. Noted Satanist Aleister Crowley designed a tarot card called “The Hierophant” which depicts a priest in the occult bearing a wand with these three esoteric 6’s.
For those skeptical of its meaning, a key New Age handbook called The Aquarian Conspiracy bears a similar mark and is admitted by New Agers to represent three inter-woven 6’s or 666.
The most telling use of this symbol is its appearance on the cover of Dorothy Morrison’s book The Craft: A Witch’s Book of Shadows. This symbol has recently been seen on the WB television series Charmed where it appears on the cover of the three witches’ book of spells and wisdom.
The rock group Deicide, whose name means “the death of God”, used a triquetra logo on their recent album Once Upon The Cross. The inside cover of the album has the Lord Jesus Christ sliced up the middle with his insides removed.
Many other three-fold systems use this symbol, such as the Taoist concepts (yin, Tao and yang); the tantric energy channels (ida, sushumna and pingala); the Hindu trinity (Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu); and the phases of the moon (waning, full and waxing).
Please answer me, how can such a symbol be printed on the cover of a Christian’s Bible? Could the answer be found in the fact that this same symbol is commonly used in Catholic liturgical iconography and is justified as a Gnostic symbol of unity of spirit, soul, and body? The Roman church has consistently united the pagan practices of heathen cultures with Christianity even reaching back to the Babylonian mysticism of Semiramis and Nimrod. It is noteworthy that in Pagan, Wiccan, and Goddess symbolism the triquetra represents the threefold nature of the goddess as a virgin, mother, and woman possessing special privileges and/or power. Sound familiar? It isn’t coincidental that all modern translations, including the New King James and New International Version, are based exclusively upon the same manuscripts as the Latin Vulgate and are a by-product of Jesuit infiltration into fundamental Christian institutions of learning! Yet, we sleep on!
