The religion of the ancient Egyptians is known to have consisted preeminently of sun-worship. The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia declares that the six-pointed star-according to the star-worshipping Rosicrucians-was known to the ancient Egyptians. It is innocently done, not knowing the origin.īut where did it come from originally? Was it always a Jewish symbol? Also, a few seemingly “Christian” websites display the symbol as well. On a rare occasion, I have seen people attending God’s church wearing the Star of David on a necklace. But the Jewish people do not have much of an historical attachment to the Star of David, except in recent times. When the Zionists searched for a symbol of their movement, they picked both the Star of David and the Menorah: one for their flag, and one for their national seal. It has also been used for Jewish coffins and gravestones to mark those who are Jews. Synagogues feature the symbol on the ark, on the velvet covering on the Torah, and on the Torah reading platform. The Jewish community of Prague was the first to use the Star of David as its official symbol, and from the 17th century on, the six-pointed star became the official seal of many Jewish communities and a general sign of Judaism, though it has no biblical or Talmudic authority. It’s found in ancient art, both Jewish and non-Jewish, and it does not seem to have had a particularly Jewish meaning. The Star of David, known in Hebrew as the "Shield of David" or the "Magen David," was not originally a Jewish symbol. What is the origin of the "Star of David"-the emblem that quite a few Jews use? They put it on the fronts of their synagogues, and Hitler stamped the stars on the Jews during World War II. Sadly, the six-point six-sided hexagon, a tool of witches' mediums, will not guide one to walk with God. The red six-point star had served as a crest for the Jewish Rothschild family, which influenced the Zionist movement to accept the star of David as the chief symbol of Judaism. Some Orthodox Jewish organizations vehemently rejected the Magen David as a symbol, claiming that it infiltrated Judaism from occultist practices, notably through the 13th Century Kabbala. The hexagram star was always associated with occult magic practices in Zoroastrian and Druid religion. In the prohibition of Deuteronomy 4:17, worship of stars and heavenly constellations is considered a form of idolatry. Like the "cross" of Christendom, the so-called "star of David" has its origins in ancient Egyptian and Babylonian paganism. The six-pointed star, the shield of David, or the Magen David, that appears on the Israeli flag does not have an inherently Jewish meaning, but was actually introduced into the Jewish community in Prague during the 17th Century.
