There is no death head resting on the cross because Jesus’ death and resurrection has made Him “Head” of the “Body”, whereby Christ Jesus was resurrected and will also resurrect His Body, the Church. The cross is the foundation that seals our eternal fate. The Cross is a “positive” (+) symbol denoting first a connection with the eternal “Father” and then with “Mankind”. No one comes to the Father except through me. “I am the way and the truth and the life. The Christian cross on the other hand is foundational for “ Truth”. So man meets with death because he is either ignorant of the truth or has chosen to journey down the wrong path.
The “X” denotes “wrong or incorrect” or an “unknown value”. The head rests on the foundational bones that resemble an X. Whereas on the other hand the Cross to the Christian means triumph over death and eternal life through Christ’s sacrifice. Believers who attach spiritual meaning to the Skull & Crossbones may be expressing,“ Seize the Moment”, or “Eat, Drink, and be Merry for tomorrow I may die.” noted in the film (Dead Poet’s Society). But to the believer it displays their life’s faith. I came to the conclusion that to the trendy both symbols have no meaning. And then I note many even today continue to wear the cross not in mockery but in ignorance as to its spiritual significance. The cross displayed between her cleavage was to me a mockery of what I held dear. At the same time, I remember being appalled witnessing the Christian cross worn by the pop vocalist Madonna when her hit record “ Like a Virgin” was popular in the 80’s. If you ask anyone why they wear it or display it they will usually give you no reason. I believe that for most people it is just “trendy” to wear the symbol. So what is its significance, if any, and why is the symbol popular today? What is interesting to note is that Jesus’ crucifixion and death took place in Golgotha which means “the place of the skull”where many men suffered and died. So why would we proudly and willfully display the death symbol in our homes, on baby articles, wear it as jewelry, and tattoo our bodies with a symbol that means death?Īs a Christian, I was also surprised to discover religious organizations have displayed the symbol beneath the crucifix. In my research, the one meaning that is paramount is “death”. I guess the symbol could be displayed on most anything as I’ve seen it online printed even on baby paraphernalia. In fact, the Skull & Cross Bones is an ancient instrument used by sorcerers to gain spiritual power.” Today the Skull & Cross Bones signifies “poison” and we’re warned to “stay away.” But this is an intentional deception by the elite to hide the symbol’s true meaning. “The Skull & Cross Bones is an ancient symbol with a powerful, hidden meaning. Some speculate deeper and associate its meaning to occult spiritual power rooted in ancient traditions as sited by journalist Richard Cassaro: Famously adopted by pirates, it has been used by military factions, secret societies and to warn people against poisons.” Originally a warning left at the entrance to graveyards, the image was adopted by many groups over the years to strike fear into their enemies or to symbolize an organization. “The image of the skull and crossbones has a long tradition throughout the world, and has come to be synonymous with death. So I decided to do some research as to its symbolic meaning.Īccording to an online ehow contributor by Jason Chavis: Then, while holding a puppy I noticed there were multiples of this image printed on his collar and behold the same jeweled image appeared around his owner’s neck. I next noticed it as a pendant beautifully displayed around my pedicurist’s neck as a jeweled object. While visiting one of my relatives, I saw its image displayed on various items around her house. Recently the skull and crossbones symbol has caught my attention. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” Proverbs 16:25.
