he so-called “Star of David” is essentially a “hexagram,” nothing more, nothing less. There is no Biblical or Jewish evidence that traces this ancient occult symbol with king David of Israel. However, there is evidence that it was used by king Solomon, after he turned to pagan gods and the occult, late in his life, causing God to become very angry with him .

this is half old news and half misinformation...

the six pointed star was an ancient decorative motif...along with several other star shapes...
it became associated with the occult in medieval times...along with several other star shapes...
it was later imposed on the jews of europe as a renaissance era jewish symbol...
finally it was embraced by the jews themselves beginning in the eighteenth century...

there is also no evidence that king solomon was ever involved with the occult...or that he ever used the six pointed star that was associated with him in later folklore...

You were right up until you mentioned solomon wasn't involved in the occult.

1 Kings 11:7
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

The man was in deep.



The rest of it, you were spot on about.

idolatry and occultism are not the same thing...though a person can be involved in both...

but nowhere does it say solomon was involved in both...it only says he was involved in idolatry...

In the future, please cite the source for your copy/paste posting, thank you. -> The �Star of David� is Pagan

Actually, no one knows the true origin or original use of the hexagram. All there are is theories. The earliest known instance of it that there is proof of is 7th century B.C. and it was used as a seal.

Yes, the Hebrews has pick up customs and traditions while being in captivity.

Acts 7:22
Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

But he didn't know how to speak Hebrew very well.

Exodus 4:10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
Acts 7:39
“But our ancestors refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.

[h=2]Star[/h][h=3](seba)[/h]Appearance: The Egyptians had extended knowledge of the nightsky and the stars above. The circumpolar stars (the set of stars that seemed to "orbit" the North Star through the course of the night and thus never dipped below the horizon) were called the "Imperishable Ones". Most of the brighter stars were named by the Egyptians and they named thirty-eight constellations. These constellations were used to divide the night sky into "decans" (from the Greek word for "Ten"). The decans were called "the thirty-six gods of heaven and each ruled for ten-days each year.
The Egyptian symbol for the stars was a symbol five-pointed line drawing, resembling the sea stars (aka "starfish") that inhabited the Red Sea. In older examples, the drawing has rounder ends and the center is marked by two concentric rings. Egyptian star charts and decan tables often used dots or circles, as well as the hieroglyph.
