The first mention of the star was in Amos 5:26 regarding the trek from Egypt to Canaan. Then in 922 B.C., when Solomon married the daughter of Pharoah and went into magic and witchcraft and built an altar to Ashtoroth and Moloch.

The book traces the six pointed star from Egypt to Solomon, to Arab Magic and Witchcraft, to Druid use(references are documented). The book traces the star through Freemasonry usage to Mayer Amschel Bauer, who, in the 17th century, changed his name to depict the red six-pointed star (or shield) which he had hung on his door in Germany, and thus began the family of “Red Shield” or Rothschild. The research carried on through this family, to their court of arms, to Cabala, to Astrology, to Hitler and his putting a yellow six-pointed star on all Jews during the holocaust, to the Zionist symbol, and finally to the flag of the State of Israel and beyond.

Because this symbol is comprised of a six within a six within a six (6 points, 6 triangles, 6 sides of the hexagon in the middle) the research also included a look at the 666 prophecies in the Book of Daniel etc., regarding the “wilful King” (anti-Christ) and the “mark of the beast”. …

The shield of David is not mentioned in rabbinic literature. Notably, not a single archeological proof exists as yet concerning the use of this symbol in the Holy Land in ancient times, even after King David. A David’s shield has recently been noted on a Jewish tombstone at Tarentum, in southern Italy, which may date as early as the third century of the common era.

The earliest Jewish literary source which mentions it, the Eshkol ha-Kofer of the Karaite Judah Hadassi (middle of the 12th cent.), says, in ch. 242: ‘Seven names of angels precede the mezuzah: Michael, Gabriel, etc…. Tetragrammaton protect thee! And likewise the sign called ”David’s shield” is placed beside the name of each angel.’ It was, therefore, at this time a sign on amulets? (Bigpedia).

“The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia declares that the SIX-POINTED STAR…according to the Rosicrucians…was known to the ancient Egyptians” (Graham, p. 13 as cited in Aho).

Regarding Star-Worship, the Jewish Encyclopedia says, This is perhaps the oldest form of idolatry practised by the ancients. According to Wisdom xiii. 2, the observation of the stars in the East very early led the people to regard the planets and the fixed stars as gods. The religion of the ancient Egyptians is known to have consisted preeminently of sun-worship.

Moses sternly warned the Israelites against worshiping the sun, moon, stars, and all the host of heaven (Deut. iv. 19, xvii. 3); it may be said that the prohibition of making and worshiping any image of that which is in heaven above (Ex. xx. 4; Deut. v. 8 ) implies also the stars and the other celestial bodies. The Israelites fell into this kind of idolatry, and as early as the time of Amos they had the images of Siccuth and Chiun, “the stars of their god” (Amos v. 26, R. V.); the latter name is generally supposed to denote the planet Saturn (Seligsohn, et al.)

In the book THE HISTORY AND PRACTICE OF MAGIC, Vol. 2, the six-pointed star is called the talisman of Saturn. It is illustrated obverse and reverse. The latter is the Seal of Solomon; the former is the five pointed star, commonly called the pentagram. Details are given on how to make these symbols and the materials to use? (Dispatch Magazine).

According to Wolf Carnahan’s web site, the Talisman of Saturn has the pentagram on the obverse side and the hexagram on the reverse side.

The Jewish view of God, which permitted no images of Him, was and still is opposed to the acceptance of any symbols, and neither the Bible nor the Talmud recognizes their existence. It is noteworthy, moreover, that the shield of David is not mentioned in rabbinical literature. The “Magen Dawid,” therefore, probably did not originate withinRabbinism [sic], the official and dominant Judaism for more than 2,000 years? (Jacobs and Blau).

HERE IS A SUMMARY OF information on the HEXAGRAM, or six-pointed star and elements which bear relationship to our subject...

The star was mentioned and condemned by the God of Israel in Amos 5:26 and it was called by Him, `the star of your god, Moloch' or otherwise called `Chiun'. Reference to Amos 5:26 and the Israelites having it in the wilderness was also made in Acts 7:43. Here it was called the Star of Remphan. All these names refer to the `god' Saturn.

The foregoing verifies that it was therefore in existence long before the time of Solomon. He took this symbol upon himself when he went into idolatry, and it became known as the `Seal of Solomon' in Arabic magic and witchcraft.

There was no usage of it in Jewish circles until the 17th century when the cabalist, Isaac Luria, introduced it in Germany.

Mayer Amschel Bauer then used it in Germany to identify his address, consequently changing his family name to Rothschild, meaning `Red Shield', and depicting the red hexagram hanging on his door. He later incorporated it into his family coat of arms.

The six-pointed star or hexagram became the insignia of Zionism.
Hitler rose to power, using it as a badge of shame, forcing all Jews to wear it during the Nazi regime.
It arrived at the Knesset of the newly formed State of Israel.

It became the logo of the Jewish `Red Cross' called the Magen David Adom.
It became the centerpiece on the flag of Israel.

Surreptitiously, it has become the international symbol of the Jewish people and saturates the world as the Jewish Star.


In the book ANCIENT PAGAN SYMBOLS,
the hexagram is called Solomon's Seal, not David's.
It says...

"The triangle, the geometrical emblem of three things, one above two, the two lower uniting to produce the higher, or the union of the positive and negative forces to produce the third, is the most complex and mystical as it is the most UNCOMPROMISING of all symbols. ....Three has been called the very soul of magic, astrology and divination." 1.


The book goes on to talk about the Hindu triad, the Buddhist triad and others, but here we draw the line on the details.

Solomon's Seal was accepted as occult by the occult world. King Solomon became involved in witchcraft and occultism. (Although Solomon was greatly used of the Almighty God).

According to THE SORCERER'S HANDBOOK -

"King Solomon, traditionally known as an ARCH MAGICIAN [author's italics], used a SPELL [author's italics] to banish infernal beings sent by the king of demons to EXTRACT HUMAN HEARTS . . . [The names of the demons are then given.]" 2.

"Solomon's Mirror. A mirror used for divination". It is described and they go into what is done with the blood of A PIGEON.

In the book THE HISTORY AND PRACTICE OF MAGIC, Vol. 2, the six-pointed star is called the talisman of Saturn. It is illustrated obverse and reverse. The latter is the Seal of Solomon; the former is the five pointed star, commonly called the pentagram. Details are given on how to make these symbols and the materials to use. 2.



What then is the Real Symbol of the Hebrew People?

The number seven, not the number six is God's perfect number. The symbol given to God's chosen race, as far back as Exodus is the Menorah, or seven branched candle-stick.

Read all about this Menorah, which played such a vital role in the Tabernacle and was placed in the Holy Place in Exodus 25. More verses about the Menorah are, 1 Kings 7:49; 11 Chronicles 4:7. Also in the New Testament, Matthew 5:15 ; Rev. 1, 2 & 19:16.

A 'magic symbol associated with the pentagram'?! The pentagram is one of the most powerful symbols of the occult. The Lord specifically warns against this kind of thing in His Torah. As Jews, and certainly as followers of Yeshua, we are not to look to magicians, mediums or sorcerers, etc. to guide us in our walk with the Lord, or protect us. And we are certainly not to use their symbols as representative of Yahveh or His People Israel:


'When you enter the Land which Yahveh your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to Yahveh and because of these detestable things Yahveh your God will drive them out before you. You must be blameless before Yahveh your God. For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you,Yahveh your God has not allowed you to do so.' Deuteronomy 18:9-14



Messianic Rabbi Barney Kasden, in wanting to uphold the Star of David within Messianic Judaism writes:

'The earliest apparent mention of this symbol is found in the Talmud. In describing the reign of King Solomon, the mention is made of how he had power over demonic forces by the emblem on his ring known as the "Seal of Solomon" (Gittin 68). Although the specific design of this seal is not described in this passage, it is also called the "Shield of David" (Magen David) because according to later tradition this also appeared on King David's battle gear.

The first concrete evidence in archaeology was found in the city of Sidon. This consisted of a ring with a seal on it in the shape of a six-pointed star, which was dated from the seventh century BCE. For those who have been to Israel, you will remember the famous six-pointed star on the synagogue of Capernaum. This structure has been dated from the second century CE but it is believed to be directly over the site of an earlier synagogue, the one likely used by Yeshua himself (Luke 4:31-37).' (This was taken from the website of Rabbi Barney Kasdan)


Rabbi Kasdan appears to have confused the Star of David (six pointed), for the Seal of Solomon (five pointed), as the Encyclopedia mentions above. Be that as it may, he wants to foster a foundation for acceptance of the Star of David by telling us of the archeological 'evidence' that makes it kosher. But this no more makes the Star of David kosher, than finding crosses and fish symbols on the tombs of early Roman Gentile Christians. Perhaps they didn't realize that those symbols were representative of the pagan gods, Tamuz and Dagon, respectively.4 Today, most believers who wear the Star of David or the cross or who use the fish symbol, don't realize it either. That's a very sad commentary on our 'teachers.'


What makes it so anti-Torah, and therefore anti-Yahveh, is that this lends credence to magic and the occult, which Yahveh soundly condemns. Unfortunately, this practice is prevalent within Judaism (and Christianity), today. An interweaving of occult mysticism, with the Scriptures and the traditions of the Jewish (or Christian) People. The Talmud was begun in Babylon, with all its pagan-occult influences, long after King's David and Solomon were dead. And the Kabala5 is not part of the Word of God. Kabala is Jewish sorcery.

That the ring had no specific star design mentioned in the Talmud, lends itself to silence, as there is no way for us to know what actual design was upon it (the five points being given to the ring at a later date). But this is a moot point, for the ring never existed, except in the minds of the Rabbis.

Second, Sidon was never a city in Israel. Therefore, the ring that was found in the 7th century BCE with the 'Jewish Star of David' was not the ring of a Jew, but of a pagan. Only it wasn't known as the Star of David to the person who wore it!


There is no biblical evidence, whether Scriptural or archeological, that the so called 'Star of David' is a God given symbol for His People Israel. But there is extensive evidence that the 'Star of David' originated in the occult and continues to occupy a place in it today

The Seal of Solomon is a red hexagram known as the Seal of Solomon, Magen David (which signifies God as the protector) or more popularly as the six-pointed star called the "Star of David." The Seal of Solomon was not considered a Jewish symbol before the Rothschilds appropriated it as their family moniker and symbol. Moreover, although the Magen David is today identified with Judaism (Pharisaism) it is actually a relatively new Jewish symbol.

The symbol is composed of two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star. The device is supposedly a replica of the shield belonging to King David (c.1000-962 BC) the slayer of Goliath, but there is no support for that claim in any early rabbinic literature. Actually, the symbol is such a rarity in early Jewish literature and artwork that art dealers immediately suspect forgery if they find the symbol in supposed early works. Nevertheless, the device has become such a cherished Jewish symbol that it now appears on synagogues, Jewish tombstones, and the flag of the Zionist State of Israel. However, this was not always the case since the symbol was not particularly Jewish.


Its genesis is unknown but it was used extensively in the ancient Mystery Religions before the advent of the Cult of Yahweh, consequently the device was not historically limited to use by the Israelites, Judahites, Judaeans or Jews. Thus, originally, in antiquity, the six-pointed star that later became known as the Seal of Solomon, Magen David, was used side by side with the five-pointed star, or "Pentagram," both serving as magical signs or as decorations. The six-pointed star, or hexagram, was the Ammonite and Phoenician symbol of Moloch, god to whom some parents sacrificed their children, and of Ashtoreth, ancient Semitic fertility goddess; identified with Phoenician Astarte and Babylonian Ishtar. Astrologers also used it to represented Saturn, the giant planet that is the sixth planet from the sun.


Comprising of two equilateral triangles having a common centre, the Seal of Solomon is analogous to the "Ying and Yang" device of the Eastern Mystery Religions of the Hindu, Chinese and Peruvians. The ancient Indians used it to represent the union between Shiva, the Destroyer, and his consort, Kali, with the polar energies perfectly balanced. The down-pointing triangle is the feminine principle (Kali), and the point up is the masculine principle (Shiva). Among the Judaean, symbols from Hellenistic times, both the Hexagram and the Pentagram are missing since they were deemed the signs of the pagan and his dark arts.

In the twelve-century an Ashkenazim, a Khazar Jew, called Solomon ben Duji (or Ruhi or Roy) claimed he was Elijah and his son Menahem ben Duji was the Messiah. They wrote letters to all the Jews in the lands about them proclaiming the coming of the Messianic Kingdom. It appeared to have had little effect, for, twenty years later Menahem had assumed the name "David al-Roy," and the title of "Messiah" and that the movement shifted from Khazaria to Kurdistan. After vain attempts to rouse the Diaspora to action and to invade the Holy Land, Menahem, or David al-Roy, was assassinated in his sleep, allegedly by his own father-in-law, whom someone had bribed to do the deed.



Solomon ben Duji and his son Menahem had used the magical symbol of two equilateral triangles having a common centre, the six-pointed star, or Hexagram, or Magen David, that became known as the Seal of Solomon. Magen David in Jewish liturgy signifies "God as the protector" (shield) of David, and in this context, the symbol gained currency among medieval Jewish mystics who attached magical powers to King David's shield. Especially following the influence of the Kabbalist Isaac Luria (1533-72), the hexagram became accepted by "the Jews" as "the Shield of David," before this time, there was no general usage of the six-pointed star in Jewish culture.

According to the Encyclopaedia Judaica (1972), in an article on the Seal of Solomon, the hexagram was widely used in Arabic magic but:

"It is not clear in which period the hexagram [Magen David] was engraved on the seal of Solomon mentioned in the Talmud [Gittin 68a] as a sign of his dominion over demons, instead of the Name of God which originally appeared on his ring."

The Jewish community of Prague first used the Star of David as an official symbol in the 17th century and since then, the six-pointed star, Magen David or the Star of David, became the official seal of many Jewish communities. Thus, the Star of David had become adopted as a general sign of Judaism, but it has no biblical or Talmudic authority. Its authority derived from the teachings of the Jewish Luciferians, the Kabbalists. In the 19th century, Jews almost universally adopted the Star of David as a symbol of their race: only decades after the Rothschilds adopted this symbol in 1822 as their family coat of arms. That is, because the Rothschilds were Kabbalists, were Jewish Luciferians, they adopted this powerful magic symbol for their coat of arms claiming its inherent occult power as their own.


The symbolism of the Seal of Solomon is deep and convoluted, however, a gist of it is found in the spermo-gnostic (Sex Magic) occult group called Ordo Templi Orientis, in one of its rituals, the ninth-degree ceremony, the ancient "Mass of the Phoenix." The two emblems of this ninth-degree ceremony are the upright triangle of "Gold and Light" (representing spirit), and the down-turned triangle of "Blood and Water" (representing matter). That is, two interlocked equilateral triangles having a common centre that form the Seal of Solomon that contains the formula that is known as the "Gem of Alchemy." This is an allusion to the famed "Philosophers' Stone," the enigmatic "Holy Grail" of the Alchemist.

Thus, when Mayer Amschel Bauer hung a red hexagram on his door to identify his address he was also proclaiming himself a master Kabbalist. Moreover, it symbolised the appropriation of the Magen David by the Ashkenazi, the Khazar Jews, as their future symbol in their war on greater humanity.

Mayer Amschel changed his name to "Roth Schild," meaning Red Shield when he becomes a supplier of coinage to the royal Court and when the unexampled rise to power truly began. The nascent Zionist Movement adopted the House of Rothschild's blazonry because its ultimate source was this family and its fabulous wealth and power. Consequently, both destinies, the Rothschild and Zionism, become intertwined with the Zionist Movement wholly dependent upon the goodwill and largesse of this Khazar family.

The star of David is a Jewish symbol because the Jews use it as their religious symbol.
What's your point?

Six pointed stars have also been found in cosmological diagrams in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The reasons behind this symbol's common appearance in Indic religions and the West are unknown. One possibility is that they have a common origin. The other possibility is that artists and religious people from several cultures independently created the hexagram shape, which is a relatively simple geometric design.
