You may have seen a simple fish symbol as a bumper sticker on cars, but it is actually a very ancient symbol for Jesus. There are a lot of references to fish in the Bible, but the symbol doesn't actually refer to a Biblical story. It actually refers to the Greek word for fish: ICHTHYS.
It was illegal to be a Christian in the Roman Empire for hundreds of years. Christians in the early Church had to worship in secret to avoid persecution and death. So, they used many symbols to secretly refer to Jesus Christ. One of those symbols was a fish.
The word for fish in Greek is Ichthys (or Ichtus). Christians turned that word in to an acronym: ΙΧΘΥΣ. ICHTHUS means:
I = Iesus (Jesus)
CH = Christos (Christ)
TH = Theos (God)
Y = Yios (Son)
S = Soter (Savior)
Therefore, the Jesus fish symbol means ICHTHYS, or "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior."

Thank you for explaining it in detail, I knew what the symbol represented but had no idea it was an acronym for Jesus Christ. I bought an Ichthys pendant and I can’t wait to wear it and proudly show my belief in public. God bless you and everyone on this Earth.

To get more in depth,the Greek word for fish is "ΙΧΘΥΣ" and the phrase you can spell is "Ιησούς Χριστός Θεού Υιός Σωτήρ" with the meaning of "Iesous(the Greek equivalent for Jesus) Christos(Christ) Theou(of God) Yios(Son) Soter(Savior).Just wanted to correct a bit,not that you made any mistake.Great vid also.

If you want some metaphysics, the vesica Pisces is/was God’s first division of, and unto itself..which initialized the flower of life. The seed of all creation. And that parallels the line: “No one gets to the F(Aether), except through the sun/Son.” Some of these parables are double and even triple entendres.

For the most part your correct, this is what your missing. Jesus placed two fishes not one to meet in secret. Two fishes was and still his symbol. However one fish was removed from history because the leader in that era did not want anyone to interpret 2 fishes associated with the Pisces zodiac sign. Jesus in fact a Pisces, Beginning and the End of the zodiac sign, (March) They hid this from the people. To keep everyone blind, to divide and conquer. Thank you

This explanation is backwards. It is like how the 1st letter of the planets were later used to form rhymes for memorization. The rhyme wasn't used to name the planets. The fish symbolism predates the persecution days you mention. It comes from the location of the son (Sun) in the sky (zodiac) it was in the constellation Pisces during that time. Just like before that tt was in the constellation Aeries, the ram (during the time of Moses etc). Now it is in the constellation Aquarius.

@@arthurk188 Hey thanks for the detailed reply with info I will check out. But my information, although similar to what is in Zeitgeist, isnt specifically from there. The problem with Zeitgeist is that, they tried too hard to discredit the Bible and Jesus, thus they had to mix vague assumptions together with legit info. So yes I also know and have criticized some of the info in zeitgeist. If you go to the movie page here on youtube and search through the comments, you would find mine from years ago points out mistakes. But there is indeed some truth in that documentary. It would have been helpful if you wrote why these links are relevant to me, e.g. how does the history of the zodiac book conflict with what I said, or why is the article on Hipparchus related? edit: already my initial impression of the amazon book is that of a person with an agenda. Such works, just like zeitgeist, tend to mix lies with truth.

It was not illegal to "worship non roman gods." In fact romans used greek gods and romanized the names. The fish is a Piscean symbol. Astrology. That was later adopted. I have a hunch that Christians were persecuted not due to worship but because their yeshua teaching opposed the bankster cabaaliatic cult in power that is based on caananite power structure. Exactly what we should be doing today.

"How do you explain Deuteronomy 4:15-19?" This is merely a symbol, not something to be worshiped as the Catholics worship Mary through their disgusting statues and figurines. They are not giving any power to the symbol. Having stated this, I now suspect that the symbol was probably representing the eye (as in I AM). Thus the true Christians knew that G-d was in themselves and they were equal with him though still limited by their physical bodies!

A symbol or image can mean a lot of different things, to a lot of different people. Weather it's a fertility, math, Jesus symbol or all of the above. Symbol's have been used, re-used and adopted by other cultures over and over again. Then get forgotten by history or reinterpreted until the original meaning is lost forever. I can't say if ancient Christians used this symbol or not. But modern Christians have definitely adopted it. We can only imagine what this symbol will mean in two hundred years or so? 😇👍

The fish also symbolises Pisces. Many symbols of Semitic religions come from the stars in the sky. If you go back to Taurus, the bull. The bull was a huge symbol for the Jewish people predating Christ. Then you would go to Arise, which is the Lamb. (The lamb of God) The bull, the lamb, the fish in retrograde; next is Aquarius or the water bearer. Each symbol lasting for about 2100 years. The water bearer symbol can be seen as the baptismal water. There are pictures of these symbols at The Vatican. Isaiah 47:13 You are wearied with your many counsels; let them stand forth and save you, those who divide the heavens, who gaze at the stars, who at the new moons make known what shall come upon you.

That's it's recent (Christian era) meaning. It has always been the symbol of the Goddess Isis, or Inanna, or Ishtar or many other names but same Goddess. It is the vesta pisces, The symbol of the vulva or birth canal, Romans knew this and it was common and acceptable to them

The jesus fish was a symbol for the sign of jonah that jesus gave which symbolized the age of pisces. Ther first fish that swam against the current lasted until 300ad as did the first true church before the rise of Constantine. The 2nd fish that swims with the current of the world began with the merovingians and symbolizes the false antichrist church. The age of pisces jesus spoke so much about and used so much symbolism to describe is the age of christianity, empathy, salvation and forgiveness. The coming of the son of man in the heavens to pour out the bowl of wrath at the end of the age is the sign and beginning of aquarius. Jesus and john the Baptist and the 12 apostles are the inner story and new heavens for the spirit and conscious of the sun and moon and 12 comstellations of the old heavens that are passing away for the energy and ego. He recreated within what was done without. The story without told through the heavens that had been unbalanced with the scales of libra offset due to the world being turned from its upright position, he converted and tipped in the opposite direction inwardly to bring back the balance. The spirit of Lucifer brings the sinewave of exhausting the self first to be brought down to the sides of the pit. The spirit of yehuwshua was about denying yourself and sacrificing yourself to be lifted up to the sides of gods holy mountain. So he balanced what what corrupted without by copying or mirroring it in the opposing direction within through the age of pisces right when the lamb or aries met the knot and fish at the spring equinox wholly point. When he was baptized and john said "behold the lamb of god" (the aries of god) he was at the wholey point between the mountain and the valley of the sinewave and then began to go underwater towards pisces to begin the work of grace which is the pisces energy. The fish was a symbol of the first pisces fish that swam against the current and flow of the world like a "salmon" (or solomon) fish. It was annointed with the bloodline of david through christ jesus. So much more could be said. But I think your beginning to get the picture. You've got along way to go, but hopefully you get there

Never hear this example. Most think of the time he feed 5k with 5 loaves and 2 fish yet the fish where never passed to the disciples "that I saw thus far". Then my mother the other day told me it was because he makes us "fishers of men". Also not backed up and in all there is much confusion in relation to this symbol. I only know one source of confusion and it is not Jesus. From my research this is a pagan symbol for the "Age of Pisces" and if you look into this pagan astrology you will find some interesting facts to back this up: 1) Pisces age AD 1 to AD 2000 "This is the time the pagans attribute to the age of Jesus" 2) The age of aquarius follows the age of Pisces. "Pagans think the age of Jesus is at an end and next with be their age of aquarius." 3) This shift from one "Age" to the next is the pagan thought that we are going into a new age. "New Age Movement" 4) This new age will no longer have Jesus but will be under a new order. "New World Order" 5) Age of Aquarius has great importance to the satanic / pagan followers. "Lucifer the manipulator of arts and music shows us this. There is much attributed and focused on for the Age of Aquarius. Even a song." 6) To link Jesus to this symbol of Pisces shows the pagans your lack of knowledge in you attributing Jesus to a passing age that is ending very soon. 7) IF this video is correct. You can now stop displaying your "Fish" symbol of confusion and embrace the Cross of Jesus. You are not in Rome, NEVER hide the fact that you follow Jesus as a coward does.

Hide the fact you follow jesus? I am a pagan and I simply wanted to find out what this symbol really meant. I like the fact you did your research and learned a bit about the age of pisces and the age of aquarius and it most certainly is of great importance to occultists as well as indigenous cultures world wide. This is not, however, a call to follow "Lucifer" as he rules the Earth under a "One World Order", rather that is one hypothesis of what kind of thing may occur. I believe that people are becoming more consciously aware because of the internet and can access deeply valuable spiritual knowledge and evolve THEMSELVES. As energy from the center of the universe now faces a full frontal blast towards the Earth, we are embarking on a journey back to source but it's up to us to decide our fate. Jesus said that the church would preform more mighty miracles than him. He also said I AM THAT I AM. So god technically said that he IS ALL THAT IS. In fact everything in existence can identify as a part of the creator because they simply exist. In this way we are all sons and daughters of god/goddess. I believe the age of Aquarius is going to reveal much but most importantly, the possibilities are vastly more endless than we may have ever previously conceived. .

Definition of ichthus : a representation of a fish used in ancient times as a pagan fertility talisman or amulet or as a Christian symbol for the Greek word ichthys interpreted as an acrostic in which the Greek letters are the initials of the words I ēsous Ch ristos th eou hy ios s ōtēr meaning Jesus Christ Son of God Savior. And where did talismans get the soldiers who were struck down by God in 2 Maccabees🤔 yes struck down for them. And according to catholicism idolatry is a mortal sin. And if you die under a mortal sin you don't go to the imaginary purgatory you go straight to hell. One wonders then why the leader of the group prayed for the dead and took offerings for them if they were condemned to hell bypassing purgatory for dying under a mortal sin ? It just doesn't make any sense second Maccabees contradicts the dogma of purgatory yet romanist will use it as a proof text for purgatory😮 I'm not saying that the symbol as adopted by early christians as code is evil at all. But I am saying be careful with icons. What about that pesky second commandment anyway. 😂

It's an ancient symbol because its astrological... And why would a Roman religion migrate from Galilee and need a Greek mythos to protect from persecution? Sorry, This is trying to justify and draw away from it's actual origins in the Astrological depiction of handed down through Babylonian and Assyrian text. It counts the ages and drives our count of the procession of ages. Jesus walked the earth as a conduit of a Creator (God) and used discernment to understand and teach the human condition. There's bigger context here. Comfort is found in half the story.

IF this is in fact a way to save yourself from persecution of affiliation with Jesus, you should read this first: Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

@@matthewsmall1817 My friend, many Christians were and are still being persecuted. Jesus never told us to create secret symbolism to disguise our identities or our faith in him. To live is Christ, to die is gain - meaning to center your life around Christ leads to everlasting life after God's Judgment. To die is gain - meaning you can gain everything in this carnal world, but without Christ as your Lord and savior, your soul is lost and there is death after Judgment. The realization that Christ suffered for our sins and paid the wages for sin, which was his own death, is to know that as his followers we should not expect to receive any different outcome for our faith. Bottom line is that as a christian, we must accept that there may come a time where we may have to suffer or die for our faith in Christ. The ICHTHYS fish and its Christian connection/derivation discussion does not lead to salvation, rather it is a distraction from what really matters, and that is strengthening the body of Christ through encouragement and discipleship, living your life in submission to God's purpose for your life (His will), and lastly telling non believers about the good news of Jesus Christ's life, death, resurrection, and second coming. Be Blessed.

@@matthewsmall1817 do you think that Jesus retreated to be secretive or to avoid conflict? I ask because the ichthys fish discussion is based on supposedly secret symbolism used by Christian's to identify themselves during the Roman Persecution of Christians. It might very well be true that symbolism was used during this time amongst believers. However, it is undeniable that the fish symbol is also a Pagan deity named dagon. Right? So, we do know that Satan's devices of deception is to show a seed of deception through a little lie hidden in truth. Therefore we must rely on the word of God, not ancient traditions that are extra-logos (Outside of the word of God). Jesus own teachings in Mark 4:21-25 KJV - And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

@@SargeAlexSanderson Please read my comment again. I never questioned the literal translation of the Greek word ICTHYS. While, I do agree with you in saying that ICHTHYS translates to Fish. I am also saying very clearly that the origin of the story about Christians using secret symbolism has no merit. This Fish Symbol is a Pagan symbol used to represent the false fish god, Dagon. I too have paraphernalia with this symbol believing it to have been a "christian" symbol. A lot of christian companies use this symbol as well to show their affiliation with Christianity. However, it takes wisdom to fully reject what you have been taught, and then stand on the Word of God and the revelations that God will reveal to you by his grace and through the supernatural gift of discernment. Please do your own research. Matthew 10:33 Exodus 20:4 Judges 16:23, First Chronicles 10:10, 1 Samuel 5; God Bless.

FISH reads etymologically: Fi Fis Ish Fi (Latin, fidelis) - faithful. Like in Semper Fi. Fi (French, fille) - girl Fis (French, fils) - boy Ish (Hebrew, ish) - man Ish (Suffix, ish) - sort of Fish - slang for females (as we women, like fish, lay eggs in water - within the womb) Fish - some freshwater fish are intersex (produce both egg and sperm and fertilize outside the body) Put that all together and it reads: Girl, boy, man, woman, intersex FAITHFUL- sort of. It symbolizes all genders and gender expressions being not only acceptable, but revered.
