triquetra

Exodus 20:3-4 - Thou shalt have no other gods before me.  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:

Acts 17:29 - Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

Yet, when the New King James Version New Testament was released in 1979, it had the triquetra prominently displayed.  The "red and yellow kill a fellow" colors should have been warning enough.

When the old and new testament NKJV was released in 1982 it still retained the triquetra on the spine and inside title page

Then in a later printing, they added an explanation of what they wanted purchasers to think it represented.

The New [Age] King James says that it uses the triquetra to symbolize the trinity.  Clearly they have not even read their own text, as Acts 17:29 clearly says not to think that the Godhead is like any art or man's device.

There is an un-holy trinity that IS represented by the triquetra...

Embedded in the triquetra are 666...

the triquetra is a prominent new age symbol

the triquetra is a prominent symbol in witchcraft (wicca)

It was prominent in the witchcraft celebrating series "Charmed" and on the Charmed "Book of Shadows"

The triquetra is also used in occult societies such as the Masons.  The Masonic three-three-three ceremony.  Seen from above, the three men holding hands form a triquetra as represented in the serpent symbology...

and why does James R. White champion the triquetra and imply it's symbolizing the Godhead clearly contrary to Acts 17:29

Here is the triquetra yet again, in agreement with the New King James Version, White includes the triquetra in the page next the the "Forward" the first edition of his anti-preserved scripture book

Distant Starlight

The issue of distant starlight goes something like "since we see light from stars that are millions of light years away, then it took millions of years for the light to reach us, therefore the universe is millions of years old".

This line of reasoning is based on a not just observations, but also a large number of presumptions - some of which are incorrect...

The speed of light being constant - false, observations indicate that it was faster in the past. Experiments have also been conducted that have slowed and/or bent light.

Time is rigid - false, rate of passage of time is impacted by gravity and the speed at which an object is traveling

Uniformitarianism - assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere in the universe.

Naturalism - assumption that nature is "all there is" and everything can be explained using natural laws.  Being that there are supernatural, spiritual, and multi-dimensional components to reality, then we can expect existence of phenomena that defies our ability to explain based on our current understanding of natural laws.

The question to ask concerning assumptions is: "How do you know?"   How do you know that light has always traveled at the same rate?  How do you know that the decay rate of a particular radioactive material has always been the same?  How do you know there is nothing beyond the natural laws?

The fact of the matter is that even "big bang" supporters have a distant starlight time-travel problem of its own and there is yet a satisfactory model to explain observations.

Gen 1:14-19 - And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:  and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.  And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Ps 104:2 - Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain (Isaiah 40:22; Isaiah 42:5; Isaiah 45:12; Jeremiah 10:12; Jeremiah 32:17; Jeremiah 51:15)

spiritual cabinet of 12

Beast World Government and Spiritual Cabinet of 12

[developing...]

There will thus be the Spiritual Cabinet of twelve whose rightful head would be none other than "Christ" himself. . . .

He whom the Christians know as Christ, the Jews know as Messiah, and the Orient knows as Maitreya, Islam knows as the Mahdi or 12th Imam, may eventually be recognized as one and the same Being.

In this way could a “World Religion” develop quite naturally, and in harmony with a World Government.

a mark IN their right hand, or IN their foreheads

Rev 13:16 KJB - And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:


Compare the other translations at this link:
http://biblehub.com/revelation/13-16.htm

Rev 13:16 ESV - Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,


You will find most all of the modern translation say the the mark will be "ON" the right hand and forehead.

One possibility to consider is that the mark may not be some form of tattoo, barcode, or device placed ON the hand or forehead.  Could these modern, new-age, one-world so-called bibles be preparing people for a mark that would instead be IN their hand or forehead?

Since they are expecting something to be "on" their hand or forehead, would they be willing to accept an implanted device, injected serum, or something that changes DNA?
