John F. Kennedy Illuminati, Secret Government, Occultist
As a father who is weary about what images my children see and what lyrics they hear on a daily basis, I can say that I am truly concerned about and suspicious of all secular entertainment.
As I stumbled across the terms Illuminati, New World Order, All Seeing Eye, Luciferians, pineal gland, and etc, I was amazed to see how coordinated the symbolism is, who is involved and how far back it has gone.
This just made me more confident that my decision to only allow my children to listen to Christian Music was the right one. However, now I learn that even Christian music is infiltrated by occultist symbolism.
While the secular industry is open about the occult symbolism, it's the Christian artist that worry me the most, because the message would have to be hidden for it to get through.
The Christian Singers that worry me the most are TobyMac and his old bandmates from DC Talk. Kevin Max is now the lead singer of Audio Adrenaline, and there new album should not be classified as Christian. Even in an interview about joining the band, Max never implies Christianity is a part of the album. His whole goal is to make a good rock album to help an orphanage in Haiti. That is an admiral goal, but they need to call their band what it now is, a secular rock band. After listening to the song Fire Never Sleeps, I got rid of the CD. I assume it is a Christian song, but after seeing all of the occult symbolism from the days in DC Talk, and only one mention of Jesus on the new Audio Adrenaline record, I'm not going to risk my young children listening to the lyrics over and over - the song could very easy be glorifying the wrong god worshiped by so many stars today.
The three guys from DC Talk may be the great Christian singers I hope they are, but their are enough signs pointing to occult symbolism from their past that as a concerned father, I have to look into.
1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. - 1 Jonn 4:1-3
TobyMac has had occultist symbolism for a while now, but out of hope that he truly is a Christian artist, I will give him the benefit of the doubt on some of his past album covers. I will not assume the occultist color themes and the triangle radio tower,with the equivalent of the all seeing eye on top, are intentionally occultist. I won't judge the "All Seeing Eye" that showed up on DC Talk albums. This of course was before the internet was significant in shining a spotlight on occultist symbolism, so did they think people just wouldn't know, or did they themselves not realize the similarities?
However, I cannot give the same benefit of the doubt with his current album. It is an in your face occult symbol.
At first I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially since I mentioned how happy it made me seeing my son sing his lyrics in my book Broke Down & Loved Up. However, a quick Google Search led to the song "Ill-M-I" sung by TobyMac.
So the fact that TobyMac sang a song using the word Illuminati makes it hard to believe that the "all seeing eye" is just a coincidence. Well, fortunately, TobyMac gave an explanation on his website about.
What inspired the album title Eye On It and the corresponding album art of the eye?
Though the world can twist almost anything for bad, my intentions were pure regarding the focused eye in my artwork. I am an athlete and my Dad always told me to keep my "eye on it" in the context of focusing on the ball. So that's where the album title originated. Then, translating that analogy to life, fixing my eye on what matters to me—Jesus and my walk with Him. I also love this verse Matthew 6:22 - "Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body, when your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light."
What is the song "Ill-M-I" about?
The "Ill-M-I" song was originally done by an artist called Soul-Junk. I talked to Glenn Galaxy (the songwriter) a lot before I put that song on the record because I wanted to know exactly what he was writing about. It's the only song I've really ever covered ... I just loved the feel and the flow of it so much—it's just raw hip hop.
What people should know about this lyric is that "ill am I" actually means "broken am I." The next line says "and you, illuminati coming through" - illuminati is defined as "persons possessing, or claiming to possess, superior enlightenment."
So when I talked to Glenn, he confirmed that the song was really speaking out against a Pharisee-type attitude, aka "holier than thou." So the chorus is saying, "broken am I, and you, those who claim to possess superior enlightenment, are coming through," as in, "YOU'RE spiritually enlightened, YOU have it all together. [sarcasm implied]" But of course, they really don't, and the song stands to remind us that we're all broken.
Obviously I've been made aware that there's supposedly a secret society called "the Illuminati" that dates back for years … but I don't know much about it beyond that. I know I'm a follower of Jesus Christ and that neither the song "Ill M I" nor the album artwork was intended to refer to that usage of the word illuminati. It just has nothing to do with my world or following Jesus or raising my kids and loving my wife.

Ok, so I would love to accept that explanation. However, when you look at the current secular trend glorifying the "all seeing eye" you realize that this is not new. Current stars are paying homage to the "all seeing eye" in three ways, 1) they are making a triangle shape with their hand, 2) they are covering one eye, 3) they are making the "mark of the beast" with their hands. The sign that looks like the Ok sign, but really signifies 666.
After further research I have learned what many of them are worshiping. There is a belief that the pineal gland is the "mind's eye." The following video provides an insight on what many who glorify the "mind's eye" believe. Notice the Bible verse used in this video is Matthew 6:22, the same one that TobyMac uses in his explanation.
So, does TobyMac agree with all of the occultist on the power of the "mind's eye?" Is that a Christian belief? No. Christians who know the power of the Pineal Gland, understand that there is a Spiritual Warfare going on, and by opening the "Mind's Eye" with the use of drugs, stimulants, forms of witchcraft or other methods are opening themselves to being attack by evil spirits like so many stars today. Beyonce claims Sasha Fierce possesses her body on stage, and Nicki Minaj claims that she has several spirits who take over her body.
So a quick search in this technology age allows anyone to connect dots that were hidden not too long ago. So what about TobyMac. Is it just a coincidence that the eye on his album looks like it represents the "minds eye?" Was he really oblivious to the meaning of "Illuminati?" Is it all just a coincidence?
If someone sang about weed, then had weed artwork all over their album, would we believe it was just a coincidence, and they really know nothing about weed?
I'd have to say that it is not. With having the amount of success TobyMac has had with DC Talk and recently, he is well aware of the full meaning of the "Mind's Eye," as is the rest of his former band DC Talk. Watch this video and then decide for yourself.
As you can see, TobyMac has been well aware of the theory of the "minds eye" for at least almost two decades now. He's a smart guy, he's been around fame, success and evil for a long time. He knows what's going on.
With this knowledge, another coincidence does not look good for him. His logo is of a man clearly pointing with two fingers in two directions.
The two finger point is used by Satanic singers like Lady Gaga often. They do this to imitate Baphomet. The following are pictures of Baphomet and the stars paying homage to their evil god. The Rhianna pose is a subliminal message in her video Umbrella. The picture was altered to make her body look like the devil. Anytime singers sing about the Rainman or Umbrella, they are talking about their satan god. This is common language in today's music. The entire video Little Freak by Usher and Nicki Manaj is full of satanic imagery and meaning. Manaj even pays homage to her rainman in one verse while trying to seduce a women into have a threesome with her and Usher.
As a parent, it'd be easy to look at his material in the 90's and believe that he was clueless as a young man, it's a lot harder to see him put the "mind's eye" on his current album and think that he's being completely upfront with the Christian Community.
Also, why does former DC Talk singer Michael Tate have the same circles in the background at their concert that Toby Mac uses in his videos? There are several videos on youtube about the occult symbol of the circle within a circle.
Newsboys concert with circles in the background throughout the song. Look familiar?
Is he an occultist? Does TobyMac sing to a different god than Christians? Is he singing to Lucifer? The fact that Jesus name is mentioned only once on his album and it's not glorifying Christ as the risen savior does not bode well for his CD to be classified as "Christian." The fact that he is not being honest with the Christian community does not look good for him either. We are not God, and we don't know his heart. The evidence is clear, but it's not our role to judge.
Why don't they just separate themselves from occult symbolism? That seems fair for Christians to ask. What is their reason to openly flaunt it?
It is our job to investigate what messages are being sent to our children through music.
Personally, with TobyMac and Audio Adrenaline, I have a problem that they are capitalizing off of Christians by claiming their music is Christian. There is not much in their lyrics or themes to suggest that it is Christian. I believe their one goal is stated clearly by Dale Bray, the Australian businessman behind Inpop Records (who helped build the Newsboys - partners with the Newsboys & Audio Adrenaline Manager). Bray states, ". . . we are all in search of great pop music that connects with the Christian consumer." He is open about the goal is to sell "pop music" to the Christian consumer. Therefore, it really should not be considered Christian music. Because I believe that these guys are Pop Musicians trying to break into the Christian market, then the occult symbolism could very well be apart of their personal religious beliefs, like so many in the secular music industry.
As a concerned father, I'll merely keep praying for my children and trying to learn as much about what they are taking in as possible.
Houston Rockets - trying to capitalize on the New Age Illuminati theme. (Chandler Parsons, James Hardin Illuminati, Dwight Howard Illuminati)
TobyMac illuminati, Toby Mac, Beyonce Illuminati, Christian music illuminati, The Beatles Illuminati, Rhianna, rainman, miley cirus illuminati, Justin Timberlake Illuminate, Lebron James Illuminati, rich harden illuminati, ADHD, Adderall, Drake Illuminati chandler parsons illuminati, rich harden illuminati
The moment Kanye West realized that selling his soul for Kim Kardashian, fame and money was not worth it. Funny.
Thank you so much about the information ! shabbat shalom : )
ReplyDeleteI actually own Toby Mac's album "Eye on it", and I can point out several tracks that talk about Jesus and his attributes and such:
ReplyDeleteIn "Without You" He says Christ rescued him, and without him he would be in a worse off place then he is now, I'm wondering if this could be considered a WORSHIP SONG as he says "Where would i be without YOU?" "YOU rescued me" I'm pretty sure when he says YOU he means JESUS, LORD AND SAVIOR, GOD.
And in the next one "Steal my show" it's an invitation for the Holy Spirit to take over, "If you wanna steal my show, I'll sit back and watch you go! If you have something to say, go on and take it away!"
The song "Forgiveness" is just that: Telling us we must forgive one another and ask for forgiveness from the father.
"Speak Life" talks about loving as Jesus did, and how do we successfully love others WITHOUT the Holy Spirit's help? Simple Answer: WE CANNOT!
What is often a problem with modern music is that it doesn't actually outright mention Jesus Christ as we SHOULD do in our music, instead, they tend to use phrases and...what is the word? Metaphoricals? Jesus used parables to teach others, and though that can be a good thing, Worship of God should be OPEN, OPEN about him, and OPEN about worshiping him.
