Current Events and Bible Study
Bible: Matthew 24:24

The greatest method of deception is to counterfeit. And the master of counterfeit and deception is Satan. The Bible in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 warns of Satan’s counterfeit: ‘And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;. . .’ And among one of his greatest counterfeit’s is the New King James Bible (NKJV). Christians that would never touch a (NIV), (NASV), (RSV), (NRSV) or other false-versions are being ‘seduced’ by the subtle NKJV.

And though the NKJV does indeed bear a ‘likeness’ to the Authorized King James Bible, as you’ll soon see, there’s something else coiled (see Genesis 3:1) ‘underneath the cover’ of 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’. One of the most occultic television shows ever aired is ‘Charmed’. ‘Charmed’ details the spells and occultic 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 also on ‘The Book of Shadows’. The Book of Shadows is commonly used in witchcraft and Satanism. The Craft: A Witch’s Book of Shadows. This is just one aspect of this version that we will be exposing.
