Does Anyone Know What This Means?

October 2nd, 2009  |  Published in Spirit  |  28 Comments

The other day Kati and I were driving behind this truck. It had these weird symbols on it’s back window. I assume it has something to do with Christ because of the cross. But we have been unable to figure out what the symbols are telling us. Down Arrow, Cross, Hump, Up Arrow, Down Arrow.

This is the picture I took:

Christian symbolism?

What are you thoughts?

    My guess is the creed. Christ came to earth (down arrow) died according to the Scriptures (cross) was buried (arch is a tomb) rose again on the third day (up arrow) and is returning to judge the quick and the dead (down arrow).

    or perhaps simple minds think alike??? That would make more sense if Brian is in fact a genius… ;-)

    Hey Jane,

    I have no idea. I googled around for it when I was trying to figure out what it meant and wasn’t able to find any like it. If you do find one, please let us know :).

    God Speed,

    how do y’all? i enjoy the spiritual commentary here, however we should remember to capitalize when we referrence The Almighty,

    thank you,

    Hi Joseph,

    Why do you feel like it is important to capitalize a reference to God or Jesus? Is there something in scripture that indicates that this is necessary (or important enough to ask others to do it)?

    God Speed,

    Recently, I bought a rubber bracelet with these symbols at Patti’s Settlement gift shop, Grand Rivers, KY. I wondered what they meant. My son knew and told me of this hymn with words to go along with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COQ6cni_TG8

    Lord, I Lift Your Name on High
    (Chorus)
    You came from heaven to earth
    To show the way
    From the earth to the cross
    My debt to pay
    From the cross to the grave
    From the grave to the sky
    Lord, I lift Your name on high

    He came down (down arrow), He died on the cross (cross), He rose from the grave (arch), He ascended back to heaven (up arrow), He I coming back down (down arrow).

    Someone gave me a pocket token with these symbols and Googling for the meaning led me here. I’ll ask where he got it and post here is anyone is interested.
