The Symbol on the New King James Bible

Posted at 11:46 AM on June 13, 2009

It seems that many people have asked about this mysterious symbol on the New King James Bible. The symbol is called a Triquetraand has historically been a pagan symbol. Eventually this symbol cameto be used by the Christians as a symbol of the Holy Trinity.Presumably the approximation occurred because of the three shapes that could easily be interpreted as the Christian “fish” symbol. Mostrecently the symbol has been adopted by the neo-pagans and the NewAge. In both Wicca and the New Age the symbol can represent the triplegoddess (maid, mother, and crone). It represents the three aspects ofthe feminine life cycle, the maiden (the young virgin), the mother(pregnancy and motherhood) and the crone (old age and immense wisdom).It is interesting to note that the Aquarian Conspiracy, the handbookfor the New Age, carries the same symbol New-Age adherents freely admitthat it symbolizes three inter-locking 6’s or 666. Interestingly enoughthis symbol also appears on the TV program “Charmed” and appears on thefront cover of "The Book of Shadows" which is used in witchcraft andSatanism. Symbols have always been important to all occultic oresoteric teachings, for they contain secret wisdom accessible only tothe initiated. Perhapsthe publishers of the NKJV Bible were unaware of it deeply Gnosticroots, we may never know. However we do know that the publishers havesince removed the symbol from their new printing.
