I love music. I love to listen to Christian music, Gospel, and all music that glorifies God, but did you know that the music industry is impacting people today in a way they are totally unaware of? I'm not talking about the Christian Music industry, but an industry that kids are even more vulnerable to by peer pressure, or just being what seems innocently attracted to Hip Hop, Rap, R&B and so on. Not that it hasn't been that way, but it has greatly increased over what seems like just a couple of years.
Saying that, please be aware of the ever growing popularity of the use of Hand Gestures in Music videos, photos and videos of famous actors, and political leader photos. Here is why:
It is used in Satanism, resembling the horns of the devil, or known as The Horned Hand or "Cornuto"
Widely used by devil worshipers.
Also, it has become widely used by Music Icons, Political Leaders, and Child Icons. In some cases, music isn't even being focused on. Many throw it up, and don't even know what it really means.

Miley
Obama
Palin
Willow
Bush
Some people do know what it means:
Do you know what this means, which is also used often by unknowing persons:
Too much Satan for one hand
Please Be Careful
It has nothing to do with "Rocking On."
The second gesture that seems to also be influentially growing is the okay hand gesture:
Emma Watson
This gesture used in a situation that is not for it's claimed purpose makes me believe it is used for other reasons, however when asked, celebrities say its just a "fad" or "trend" But could it really mean this:
A trending hand gesture resembling 666?
No one will say, but it's increasing in the music industry, fashion industry, and Hollywood.

Most importantly, it seemed to grow more popular after Lady Gaga used it repeatedly:
A woman who makes herself to appear to have horns, often:
Following such a unknowingly trend from someone who displays this type of behavior seems dangerous in itself. Again I say, be careful, the gesture is obviously not being used to symbol "okay"
Lastly, has Rihanna portrayed herself to be used as a symbol of a demon in her music video, Umbrella?
This is a demon that is used on tarot cards to represent Satan. The photo of Rihanna was analyzed and it was determined that her position is anatomically impossible. Her back and chest muscles are both seen, which in the way she is positioned would be impossible, her neck was also said to have to be double in size of the human neck to achieve the position of her head, and that on her shoulder an extra bony appearance was added, when there is no bone anatomically positioned like that on that location, and said that it was made to resemble a brow or part of an eye. The image was then declared digitally manipulated. It is said she is resembling the face of this demon, and when looking from the brow of the eye down, the appearance of its head is scarily similar to her, even the goatee.
Why would her appearance be manipulated to resemble a demon?
Rihanna
All I can say is that we put ourselves in a vulnerable position when we watch, and listen to things such as this. It has become a must to set ourselves apart from the things of the world. Music seems to have focused more than ever on things like money, sex, and drugs in the past few years. The new generation is also vulnerable if we don't keep a watchful eye out and protect them. This stuff is real, it's not fake. Satan is running and alive in the worldly industries we are surrounded by, we have to be on guard always. He will sneak in ANY way possible. I don't focus on symbolism, but am writing this because gestures are different. They have meaning behind them, just like when you fold your hands to pray, when you raise your hands to God to praise Him. Remember, what we do with our hands greatly impacts our lives spiritually, Satan would enjoy interfering with that.
Be Careful
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8
