Bible Question: Why does Israel use satan's most powerful symbol on its flag? The HEXagram (from which we obtain our word "hex"), otherwise known as the "seal of Solomon", HAS ALWAYS been satan's "tool" used in seduction, hypnosis, divination, astrology, etc. |
Bible Answer: TommyS, according to my Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, the six-pointed star used by today’s Israel IS the exact same one used in Byzantine magic texts. One quote from page 507 of that same encyclopedia reads: “It is only in Jewish sources that the interlaced triangles are called ‘Shield of David’, as non-Jewish sources call the symbol the ‘Seal of Solomon.’” Solomon “adopted” it from the Egyptians, as his own occult symbol, when Solomon slid into idolatry and built an altar for Ashteroth (star). Israel Singer’s “Jewish Encyclopedia” page 458 connects Israel’s six-pointed star with the Cabala – satanic rituals and practices. “It stands to reason that the secrets of the theurgic Cabala are not lightly divulged; and yet the Testament of Solomon recently brought to light the whole system of conjuration of angels and demons by which the evil spirits were exorcised; even the magic sign or seal of King Solomon, known to the medieval Jew as the Magen David has been resurrected.” The “Jewish 44 Almanac” explains it has only been since the tenth through the fourteenth centuries that the Seal of Solomon (six-pointed star of Israel) began appearing in Jewish magical texts. Interestingly, the Rothschild family adopted that “symbol” as their coat of arms in 1822. So, while some might claim it is “innocent” – it isn’t innocent at all. No more innocent than reading one’s HORRORscope to see whether or not one should do whatever or not. To quote Julius Lester, a convert to Judaism –“They are many nationalities and tongues-atheists, agnostic, and some who practice Zen meditation and chant Buddhist mantras and sing Hindu hymns. Yet they are Jews. That is what is so confusing to others about being Jewish. It is NOT (caps mine) a belief system or even subscribing to a particular religious practice. It is belonging to a people, not only those living but also those who are not.” Sad, isn’t it. So many claim God favors such as His chosen people. But His Word declares just the opposite. Taleb |
