Hi all,
, interesting subject. By conincidence, I did and am doing some research on the internet about the star of david - a few days before this thread was started.
What do you think about the six pointed star symbol, commonly called the star of david in our day and age, being historically an idol - Chiun - made by the Children of Israel, in the worship of some say Saturn when they were in the desert? I am not saying that modern day Jews, intentionally or unitentionally, are worshipping an idol, btw. I am just investigating the symbol itself.
Amos 5:26-27 But ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your images, the STAR OF YOUR GOD, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord...
It would seem to me that if - given the universally recognized association of the two triangle star to the state of Israel and Jews in general - if the six pointed star was intended to be a representative symbol of Israel endorsed by God - that there should be some sort of Divine instruction to do so. But there isn't, to my knowledge.
Peace,
Doug L.
