The Broken Cross
Everyone is calling for peace in the world, and they're selling out their liberties to get it. Little do most of them realize, there will be no peace until the Prince of Peace sets up His reign.
It's like Jeremiah foretold: 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace.'
I am amazed at how all of a sudden over the last couple of years the "peace sign" has proliferated - it's literally everywhere! It's printed on clothing and accessories, including underwear; even baby clothes are decorated with it. People of all ages wear "peace sign" jewelry. If you go to Craigslist their logo is a peace sign; it's on decorative items for your home...we all probably see it hundreds of times a day. It's more popular than it was in the 70s!
But hey, it's all about "peace," right? Nothing wrong with that...or is there?
I'm old enough to remember when it first became popular. I had just started working at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of NY, and my boss - the president of the company - was a devout Catholic. Coca-Cola was offering branded merchandise to consumers; I don't recall if it was for outright sale, if you had to collect bottle caps or what, but there were several items to choose from. One was a T-shirt with the company's logo, but each "O" in Coca-Cola had been replaced with a peace sign.
Well, one day we received a letter from someone who was a Christian, explaining the meaning of the symbol: the inverted (Satanic) cross, the arms broken (signifying that Jesus' power was broken), and the inclusion within a circle (in witchcraft, things contained within a circle are within "Satan's circle of power"). It was created to mock the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, although most are unaware of its origins. My boss, Mr. Millard, read the letter and checked the facts, then he ordered that all the shirts be destroyed. (Aside: The man has since died; I pray he truly knew the real Jesus before it was too late.)
The Broken Cross has Pagan roots, being the inverse of the Pythagorean symbol for life and Teutonic rune of death, and is vogue with Wiccans and Satanists. It can represent the antithesis of all that Christianity stands for.
Some see breaking a cross as a way to protest against Christianity. The Broken Cross has been called a Neronic Cross or Nero's Cross in recognition of Nero's attempt to suppress the rise of Christianity. Roman leader Nero, who despised Christians, crucified the Apostle Peter on a cross, head downward. This event resembled the Teutonic cross and became a popular pagan insignia of the day. Thereafter, this sign became known as the 'Neronic cross.' However, over the last 2,000 years, a symbol much like the 60s peace sign symbolized hatred of Christians.
The peace sign is also tied to the mystic character for 'Aum' (the split 'Y'). This is a sacred word to the Hindu. Chanting 'Aum' is supposed to help awaken 'the serpent power of Brahma' at the base of the human spine. Occult believer Albert Pike also identifies this symbol as mystical in his book on Freemasonry Morals and Dogma.
In its present form, it was initially used as a rallying sign at the 1958 demonstration against Aldermaston (a British research center for the development of nuclear weapons), with the Neronic cross being selected as the appropriate symbol for the cause. According to some sources, it was conceived by placing the signs N and D (for Nuclear Disarmament) from the international marine flag signaling system on top of each other, and circumscribing the combination with a circle. (Personally, I don't see it.) The boomers picked it up from there, and used it as their "peace sign" throughout the late 60s and into the 70s.
The peace symbol (also called the "broken cross," "crow's foot," "witch's foot," "Nero Cross," "sign of the 'broken Jew,'" and the "symbol of the 'anti-Christ''') is actually a cross with the arms broken. It also signifies the "gesture of despair," and the "death of man.'' Do you really want something like this on your clothing, on your jewelry, or in your home?
1Th 5:3While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
