Assault on the word - Part 2
A closer look at the NKJV - New King James Version:
What About That Mysterious Mark?
Symbols are used throughout the occult. Harpers' Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience (p.594) says, "Symbols are important to all esoteric teachings, for they contain secret wisdom accessible only to the initiated."
Many people have asked about the mysterious symbol on the NKJV.
Thomas
Nelson Publishers (publishers of the NKJV) claim, on the
inside-cover, the symbol, ". . .is an ancient symbol for
the Trinity." But Acts 17:29, clearly FORBIDS such
symbology: ". . . we ought NOT to think that the Godhead is
like unto gold, or silver, or stone, GRAVEN BY ART and
man's device."
And why
does The Aquarian Conspiracy, a key New Age "handbook",
bear a similar symbol? New Agers freely admit it represents
three inter-woven "6"s or "666".
Constance Cumbey, author of The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow and a notable authority on the New Age Movement, said, "On the cover of the Aquarian Conspiracy is a Mobius, it is really used by them as triple six (666). The emblem on the cover of the New King James Bible is said to be an ancient symbol of the Trinity. The old symbol had Gnostic origins. It was more Gnostic (than Christian. I was rather alarmed when I noticed the emblem..." (The New Age Movement, Southwest Radio Church, 1982 p.11)
The three esoteric
"6"'s separated.
Plainly displaying the interlocked "666".
The
Triqueta is used as the centerpiece for the logo for The
Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP). The ITP is a
new age school following the Jungian Psychology [occultist
Carl Jung]. One of their stated goals is ". . . to reach
the recognition of divinity
within"(www.itp.edu/about/tp.html) (see Genesis 3:5, "...ye
shall be as gods...")
The same
symbol (with a circle) is displayed by the rock group Led
Zeppelin. Members of Led Zeppelin are deeply involved in
Satanism and the occult. Guitarist Jimmy Page, so consumed
with Satanism, actually purchased Satanist Aleister
Crowley's mansion. Most believe the symbol is from the
teachings of Aleister Crowley and represents 666.
The following picture is "The Hierophant" taken from the
Tarot card set designed by Satanist Aliester Crowley. The
"Hierophant" is a priest in the occult and Eleusinian.
Notice the "three circles" at the top of the wand or rod in
the Hierphant's hand. Inside the the three intertwined
circles is the "NKJV symbol".
To
the right is the top of the wand enlarged. Notice the "NKJV
symbol" (upside down) inside the three circles.
One
of the most occultist television shows ever aired is
"Charmed". "Charmed" details the spells and occultist
practices of three witches. The "NKJV symbol" is the show's
primary symbol of witchcraft and is splattered throughout
the series. Notice the "NKJV symbol" displayed on "The Book
of Shadows". The Book of Shadows is commonly used in
witchcraft and Satanism:
Book of Shadows: Also called a grimoire, this journal kept either by individual witches or Satanists or by a coven or group, records the activities of the group and the incantations used. (Jerry Johnston, The Edge of Evil: The Rise of Satanism on North America, p. 269)

Here's
some examples of Satanic and Pagan Jewelry which
includes the NKJV logo. LEFT BOX: Notice the satanic pentagram ring in the top right corner. The ring with the NKJV logo is the fourth down on the left, we highlighted it with a yellow circle. BOTTOM BOX: Notice the very satanic Baphomet Goat. We broke out and colored the NKJV symbol found in the other two satanic pieces of jewelry.

LEFT:
The image on the left is from the rock group Deicide's
album "Once Upon the Cross". It is a triquetra (the NKJV
logo) with pentagrams and upside down crosses. The group
Deicide members are very serious Satanists. Lead Singer
Glen Benton has an upside down cross branded on his
forehead. The inside cover of the album "Once Upon the
Cross" has the Lord Jesus Christ, sliced up the middle,
with his insides removed. The name Deicide means the death
of God.
RIGHT:
The triquetra (the NKJV logo) is also the logo for the Rap
/ Metal band P.O.D.
The book "Blood on the Doorposts" by former Satanists, Bill and Sharon Schnoebelen, also documents the "trio of sixes (666)" in the "NKJV symbol" and goes so far as claim it is "symbolic of the anti-Christ":
"A disguised interlocked trio of sixes, symbolic of the anti-Christ. Also symbolizes the triple goddess of Wicca (three interlocked vesica pisces together). Commonly used in Catholic liturgical iconography, and has recently found its way into the logo of the New King James Bible." (Bill and Sharon Schnoebelen, Blood on the Doorposts, p. 150)
Dr. Cathy Burns writes in her book, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, concerning the "NKJV symbol":
"Marilyn Ferguson, a New Ager, used the symbol of the triquetra (another name for the triskele) on her book The Aquarian Conspiracy. This is a variation for the number 666. Other books and material have a similar design printed on them, such as books from David Spangler, the person who lauds Lucifer, and The Witch's Grimoire. As most people know, the number 666 is the number of the beast (see Revelation 13:18) and is evil, yet the occultists and New Agers love this number and consider it to be sacred.
As stated earlier, many organizations, such as the World Future Society and the Trilateral Commission, incorporate this symbol into their logo. I think it is quite interesting to see that this same symbol appears on the cover of the New King James Bible as well! "(Dr. Cathy Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, pp. 242-243)
Would God "mark" His word with a symbol in the occult?
