Paul's Passing Thoughts

What’s Up with Third Day?

Posted in Uncategorized by Paul M. Dohse Sr. on January 30, 2015

Circle CroppedLook, I’m not into conspiracy theories or the stuff Bob Larson has made millions on, and I usually write posts to answer questions and not create them, so this post is totally out of character for me. Also, it’s probably the shortest post I have ever written. But I can’t help it, I must ask: what’s up with the contemporary Christian music group Third Day utilizing occultic symbolism? Their primary logo of late which appears to the left  is an expression of the Ing Rune (moon god). True, the symbol usually doesn’t appear in a circle, but Third Day has displayed the same symbol elsewhere as a winged globe which is a fairly common occult symbol. What’s up with that? I have contacted them for an answer, but I am not holding my breath until I get one.

Apparently, the use of occultic symbolism among Christian music groups is not uncommon. Clearly, Michael W. Smith made it a point to use two letters from the Runic alphabet on one of his albums, a Christmas album no less.

Scratching head,

    Hey Paul, obviously this answer is a few years late. I hope you got a reply from the band themselves, but if you didn’t I can explain a little. I would imagine that the band has no idea that it’s an occult symbol. It’s meant to represent unity, especially in the church. There are 3 circles which have a dual meaning: the fist, it represents the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit); the second is that it symbolizes different church denominations and people coming together under the headship of God. They first used it on their album “Come Together”, which was rooted in the theme of tearing down barriers and uniting for Christ. I hope that explains why they chose to use that symbol.

        I think I count three circles and two of them aren’t circles. Other than being wrong times 2, what’s your point?
