The Meaning of the Jesus Fish Symbol (ICHTHUS) 

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.

Ichthys is the Greek work for fish... from my biology class. It seems that that key point was glossed over which makes this a very cool teaching...

Thank you for the video! God bless you all!💜💖💜

"Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

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.

Thank you for the succinct explanation!! Shalom to you!!

Thank you for your explanation 😊. God Bless you!!!

What about what the bible says in Deuteronomy chapter 4? Verse 15 thru 19 when God directly says not have a image of a fish or bird or all the other thing's he mentions? Do we listen to God or do what we think is fine? Is Deuteronomy to old of a book to listen to? Should I be reading it?

I'm a Muslim and I have been wearing a ring that had this symbol for 7 years without knowing what it means.😅

great video and excellent explanation. God bless you! (:

Why does it face pointing left instead of right?

What direction is it supposed to face.. please.. THANK YOU..

I see this symbol all the time everywhere. at least once a month if not twice. A strand of hair shedding while i brush, noodle that fell out of my bowl, peice of shoelace on the ground, even a roller coaster once.thanks for breaking this down.i thought it was only associated with the miracle of jesus feeding all the people from one fish and making it multiply

Thanks to teaching

Wonderful lesson. Very valuable and perfectly taught. God bless you.

Brother what's the meaning of adorna

Love that!! Version good to know god bless

Life Of Pi (Movie) places a vegetarian in this very situation, and the story’s answer to this question could be interpreted as “I may eat humans, if necessary, to survive.” Of great significance to me, was the scene in the movie where Pi thanks God for coming to him in the form of the fish to help him survive

Well, if you turn it 90 degrees clockwise, you'll see a space vessel instead, but what is a ship, if not a fish swimming in the vast ocean of the Universe?

Thank you for explaining !

But wat does the fish stand for, Where the fish come out from ,

Just subscribed ❤️😃

Went to Denver Museum and saw the exhibit of all the artifacts contemporary to Jesus. Seed of life symbolism was perfectly carved into stone boxes. This 'fish' is a vessica pisces. Wasn't that the age we entered about 2000 years ago? Doesn't that make more symbolic sense?

Wow! thank you. AMEN!

God Bless Teacher 😊🙏 more power to your channel 👍

How do you explain Deuteronomy 4:15-19?

thank you for the history lesson I am starting a fishing group with that name god bless 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.

Thanks now i know what the meaning of the symbol for my next tattoo

The eight-spoked wheel can also be used for "Ichthus".

Thanks, learned something.

Thanks you somach fore explanig MAY ARE FATHER JESUS CHRIST BLEES YOU AND BEAUTIFULL FAMILLY

_"And thus, we have seen and are yet to testify that the Father has sent His Son to become the Saviour of the world."_ - First Epistle of John, chapter 4, verse 14

Amen. Thank you.

AWESOME

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

Thank You!

Vesica Piscis, extended a little to make the tail. It's part of the flower of life. It's the hint to get you to the broader truth.

It's called the Vesica Piscis turned 90 degrees

Thank you

Why 'Son' and not 'Sun"? For The Book of Malachi 4:2 says, 'But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall'. ...?

I have a light skin mark on my face resembling the fish is this good or bad

Thanks

Nice 👍

Thank you, I printed out a fish and put in the front of my binder.🐟

Jesus Christ symbolizes the Sun appearing in the era of pisces (AD 1 ~ AD 2000), according to zodiac, or precession calendar. Jesus Christ (as well as Horus, Mithra and others) is the Sun ;)

Our basketball goal in 2020 left a light reflection from the plastic making two Jesus fish! One looks like a marlin and the other is a perfect Ichthys. I have several pictures and can show if anyone is interested.

You spelled sun wrong

We are living in similar times, I display mine proudly

I believe, if I remember correctly, when Christians were going through severe persecution they used the symbol to secretly identify one another.

Good

The acronym means Jesus Christ son of God saviour

Its a symbol for Pisces two fish

There is a p with a thorn. What is that, about? Y= p what's going on?

Amen!

Same with the Candy cane, right, white equals purity, red, the BOC.

soter means uncle

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.

But...His name is YAHSHUA. His parents/family/friends/followers and disciples never called Him Jesus.

Vesica Pisces

Thank you! God bless! 🙏🏼✨

I found this video very interesting and informative. I was reading some of the comment section, WOW there's some angry people out there. 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? 😇👍

Are they still in hiding I mean.., people is still have them at the back of their cars.

you explained the acronym, but you did NOT explain the fish. You said the word "fish", but you didn't explain why there is a fish related to Jesus or Christianity

I thought christian don't celebrate Christmas

The Greek letters are iota chi theta upsilon sigma representing again iesous,christos,theos, yuios,soter. It’s an acronym not a word in both Greek and transliterated English .

dope™

Lol... That's very close 😁 but not all together. That analygy is missing some pieces

I want that!!!

Call me crazy but I saw my hair shaped in that sign ( after brushing my hair ) on my bathroom dresser it was like a sign . Iam reading the Bible And praying lately .

I'd always thought that fish symbol is because Jesus had fish diet.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

Wasn’t this appropriated by the Christian’s from the Greek/Roman’s. Pretty sure the fish is a vulva and means sexuality and fertility.

153

"It reveals four codes in John 21:6,8,11 153 fish, 100 yards, right side, fish 153 fish is coded from Hebrew for “GOD & I (61)אלהים(86) ואני” 100 yards is coded for “GOD LOVES (14)אלהים(86) אוהב” “right side” is coded for “trust & faith” Decoded from Hebrew, “fish dag 7 דג” is a blessing and is an anagram for “gad גד mazal” fortune, while “luck mazal מזל” is 77. For the first time in history, the official dimensions of the Christian fish symbol ichthys are decoded to stand for love, being alive, and materialistic luck. All numbers combined are equal to 430 soul nefesh נפש. Btw, excellent video and explanation! I've also been amazed by the code explanation of the Bible expert Don Juravin's code2God organization."

Sorry man, but it’s actually in reference to the constellation Pisces and the fact that we are in the age of Pisces. Jesus is a metaphor for the sun.

The Christ Child can be found within the Vesica.

Come out of her my people , lest you suffer her plagues ....

🙏

It's straight up a vulva. But whatever

Dagon is the fish god

Christ is not a religion

Looks like an eye if you put a dot in the middle. The 'eye' represents Horus, whose qualities have been ascribed to the figure of Jesus. Just a thought.

He never pronounces the word

This is a vulva, associated with an ancient fertility Goddess.

Dagon

Jesus IS MY SAVIOR! I have a beautiful set of earrings that I proudly wear!

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.

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. 😂

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

Ichtys

It's Pisces

I knew it was Christian, obviously, but I never knew the origin.

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

I was in Libya before, I've been in leptis magna, a ruins of Roman empire, in the colleseum were slaves and Christian were sent for gladiator match or whatever, I saw and engraving of a Jesus' fish. Anyone who want to see the picture? Comment below 👇
