I looked up the hand gesture used in the Baphomet as well as the one used by Jesus. To us who don't use sign language or really pay a lot of attention to these type of things until recently they look the same upon brief inspection. However, the Baphomet's gesture is two fingers together with the remainder down, and it is used to symbolize, "as above, so is below." It is meant to portray duality of life and all things within it. The Jesus hand gesture is vastly different, the two fingers aren't together, and the remainder are not bent. There is another hand gesture commonly depicted as well that has another meaning but it looks nothing like the Baphomet's/this particular one(ring finger to thumb, remainder folded).

"According to a former Vatican archivalist this answerer interviewed, you will predominantly see two different hand positions.

In Greek and Byzantine Christian art, as well as in most Eastern traditions, Christ is usually depicted with the ring finger or ring and little fingers on the thumb, and the index and middle fingers held up.

In Catholic art, Christ is usually depicted with an open hand or with the index or middle finger on the thumb, though Catholic depictions of Christ are often more narrative and less iconic than Eastern depictions, so the arrangement of his hands is often supportive of the narrative, at least more so than in Eastern icons.

The reason for the different position in the hands has to do with the manner in which each of these churches practices anointing with oil. In each tradition, the upheld fingers correspond to those which are anointed with oil upon ordination of the priest, which are then used by the priest to bless others with oil for anointing.

Both Western and Eastern traditions have used this particular finger arrangement for centuries, although in the West (Roman Catholics), this particular gesture have been put aside in the last few decades. this placement of the fingers is not uniquely reserved for priests either.

Dom Prosper Gueranger, OSB (1805-1875) in his monumental work The Liturgical Year (volume 15) explains the signification of this gesture on his entry for the Feast of St. Cecilia (November 22). Abbot Gueranger explained that the body of this martyr was discovered in the Catacombs of St. Callistus in 1599 and that her right hand was found in this very position. while her left hand had index finger pointing straight out. The two fingers of the left hand signified the two natures in Christ (human and divine) and the other three fingers together signified the Holy Trinity. As for the index finger of the left hand. Dom Gueranger tells us that it signified the truth of one God. "St. Cecilia," 1599 (Wikipedia).

It seems that the open hand of Christ symbolizes peace. Other icons have the finger placement in a slightly different position on Christ's right hand and have a somewhat different meaning. "

Its not authentic to Jesus. Its of Templar/Freemasonic origin. And look at the painting. Its demonic looking. Their excuse for that is that they peeled a layer of paint off it.

There numerous paintings of Jesus with occult imagery mocking Christians but this one is pretty blatant.

Well Esoteric, I didn't want to believe you were part of the disinfo crowd, but you have finally demonstrated it beyond a shadow of a doubt. The gesture of Bendiction is in fact, the very oldest iconography of Jesus, dating back to the 500's, 600 years before the Knights Templar or Masonic Temple had ever been invented. The imagery is known as Christ Pantocrator. Just because some derivative hack copied it for a Satanic image does not make it demonic. You are utterly full of shit.
