If you&amp;#39;re in the business of marketing imagery, this will be really hard to get hold of because of competing interests. You certaily don&amp;#39;t have to consider anything I write as the standard for anything, but as you look around and passionately seek insight from the Truth Himself, I believe you&amp;#39;ll have the same insight I have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that many of the people responsible for the imagery adorning our world are knowledgable practioners of occult arts. Many are not. Whether considered as echoing trends or not, these are drawing their inspiration from somewhere. The influence comes from the world around them, which is contaminated, and from the supernatural source of that contamination. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is that which the sovereign God and Creator has made, nature and natural scenes. Then there is that which man is inspired to make that is somehow &amp;quot;more than that.&amp;quot; As if that were possible. Men are inspired to make symbols of things to endow a graphic representation with something more that will give it some influence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&amp;#39;re commanded not to do such things (Exodus 20) and told in the context that it relates to idolatry, with false gods and their worship. Obedience always brings blessing but disobedience, a curse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The temptation to add a little something to our work to give some advantage is great. Self-exaltation and promotion appeals to the carnal man. Most of us are easy prey, are we not? But we can resist the devil and he will flee from us. It&amp;#39;s not easy, but it&amp;#39;s pretty simple.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9888300/1436243592926367128/comments/default/7317160527906898457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9888300/1436243592926367128/comments/default/7317160527906898457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theopenscroll.blogspot.com/2010/09/verizon-wireless-advancing-beast-agenda.html?showComment=1289342385650#c7317160527906898457' title=''/><author><name>Bob Schlenker</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/06889020206773728748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwuwzPDi-_bkVx2O8KRJPEwcYFkK16_PlFmvUX0my9RdDaOBD6Bvg2Q-0M3GmuoyWN9AByl2UbrDUf5KwW_H6AqjZWpjG-fFNaxdVPyqMOtX-jIXQ0RY8zsMg6PGy72lA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://theopenscroll.blogspot.com/2010/09/verizon-wireless-advancing-beast-agenda.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888300.post-1436243592926367128' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9888300/posts/default/1436243592926367128' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-356812329"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="2:39 PM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888300.post-3415347077379595578</id><published>2010-11-09T11:12:08.864-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-09T11:12:08.864-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bob,&#xa;&#xa;I have a few questions.

I am going back and reading old posts but it will take a while to catch up.  I am sure some of my answers may be found in there.  My questions is twofold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One, do you think all of these marketers are consciously putting all of these symbols in there?  Or is some of it just copycat effect?  For example, if I hadnt heard of this like most people and I was making a logo, I would probably go out and see what the popular look was.  So I would most likely use stars, and red and white etc...So would you say that most logos and marketing is just copycat or is each individual company knowingly making them because they know what they mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, what symbols are not occult?  I am not doubting anything you say but sometimes it can seem that every shape combination of colors etc can be seen as bad....just curious...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks,</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9888300/1436243592926367128/comments/default/3415347077379595578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9888300/1436243592926367128/comments/default/3415347077379595578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theopenscroll.blogspot.com/2010/09/verizon-wireless-advancing-beast-agenda.html?showComment=1289329928864#c3415347077379595578' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://theopenscroll.blogspot.com/2010/09/verizon-wireless-advancing-beast-agenda.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888300.post-1436243592926367128' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9888300/posts/default/1436243592926367128' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-965594800"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="11:12 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888300.post-8853551940069827066</id><published>2010-09-16T06:18:41.117-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T06:18:41.117-07:00</updated><title type='text'>You won&amp;#39;t see this from the blog, but if you a...</title><content type='html'>You won&amp;#39;t see this from the blog, but if you are a subscriber to this blog, and are reading this from an email inbox, under the &amp;quot;Open Scroll Blog&amp;quot; header, you&amp;#39;ll see a small Google tab. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What strikes be, particularily while reading this post, is that this Google tab is small, rectangular, and with rounded corners. Almost capsule like.
