Origins and Symbolism of the Star of David

The Star of David, where does that symbol come from?

It's never written explicitly in the

Bible itself.

Is it in the Talmud?

Perhaps.

Is there a passage in the Bible about that or no?

No.

Okay. So you're not really sure exactly where

that comes from?

No.

You got me.

'Cause nobody knows, huh?

I don't know. I don't know. I'm not ... Yeah.

'Cause I know it's called the Star of David.

Yeah.

Does it have anything to do with David?

No, I don't think so.

There must be somewhere on the ... I, uh, do not remember

exactly what the association was.

Okay.

The history of the Star of David itself, nobody's really

quite sure where it org- where it originated or

how it became, like, such a prominent, identifiable

symbol with, with Judaism.

I believe that what they call the Star of David is actually the Star of Remphan.

Because when you study the Bible, you'll see that when they worshiped other

gods,

the Bible talks about them carrying the banner of the star of their god,

Remphan.

You rejected the God of the Bible. You took up for yourself the

star, that's the six-pointed star, of your god,

called Remphan or Chiun. All these were names for Moloch,

the great Baal, the great fire god, who was the devil.

Beelzebub.

That's right, Beelzebub. And

they were shocked about this.

Now, who is this star god? If they only read their Old,

the Old Testament, they

would know this. In Amos,

God said, "You have taken up the star,

and you've made me furious by doing that.

And you have actually sacrificed your own children to the star god

through the fires." They sacrificed their own children, the Jews did,

to the star god.

When they worshiped a false god, they had the Star of

Remphan as a icon and as a symbol. We never

see a Star of David in scripture, but the star of the false god, Remphan.

Yeah.

And so we know today that they are not worshiping the true God.

Proving the origins of the Star of David is quite difficult.

Some of the earliest usage found in Jewish context is from the third or fourth

century in a synagogue in Galilee.

However, unlike the menorah, Lion of Judah, or the

shofar, which are biblical examples of Jewish

symbolism, the

hexagram is shared in other historical contexts as well.

Hinduism and Buddhism are some of the other ancient examples of

this star being

used in a religious setting.

Some of the oldest usages of the Hindu hexagram is dated to be hundreds of years

before our Messiah.

The hexagram is also a prominent symbol in the occult and ceremonial

magic.

The six-pointed star is commonly used both as a talisman

and for conjuring

spirits and spiritual forces in numerous forms of occult magic.

In the book The History and Practice of Magic, Volume 2, the

six-pointed star is called the Talisman of Saturn and is also referred to as the

Seal of Solomon.

The symbol also presents itself in Freemasonry.

The interlacing triangles or deltas symbolize the union of two

principles or forces, the active and passive, male and

female, pervading the universe. The two triangles,

one white and the other black, interlacing, typify the

mingling of apparent opposites in nature, darkness and light, error

and truth, ignorance and wisdom, evil and good throughout

human life.

The Talmud, the Gemara in Gittin, says that King Solomon had a

seal that was used to control demons.

Now, although the Talmud says that this seal was a name of God,

various oral traditions teach that it was either a five- or

six-pointed star.
