"Star of David" occultic symbol -- also American dollar bill occultic?

I REALLY REALLY REALLY didn't want to get as deep into certain facets of end times possible scenarios as I've been doing lately, but perhaps I should. Perhaps more of it is necessary information in these last days than I've supposed. I continue to listen to Scott Johnson these days, mostly older talks I hadn't heard before, and I continue to be persuaded by him. I was very put out at him over the Bohemian Grove and similar topics, and still am -- the evidence for claims about particular US leaders in those contexts is just not there. If he'd seen through Alex Jones and Cathy O'Brien I'd have taken him more seriously, but apparently he uncritically accepted what both of them say.  {Feb 6, 2013 update:  Since I wrote this I've heard others on the Bohemian Grove who are more convincing, such as Chris Pinto and Charlotte Iserbyt, and have to take back what I said here.  Apparently the Bohemian Grove IS connected with the One World Order people, and so is Skull and Bones.  At times Scott Johnson has a way of emotionally asserting things without supplying convincing enough evidence for me.}

Yet there does seem to be some pretty good evidence for some kind of conspiracy of wealthy leaders, and I have to decide if I should get into all that or not. I really really don't WANT to, I hate the idea, but if it's about what I SHOULD do, well, that's going to need some thinking. I've found some books on aspects of this question to consider buying, to keep on reserve while I think about it. I would hope to find the very best documented source. One reviewer claims that it's possible for the people to defeat such plots if we know about them. It's hard to turn your back on a claim like that.

My usual feeling is defeatist, which is the main reason I don't want to get into the subject. I can pray against such things but practical resistance against them doesn't seem feasible. They've got all the money and if they also have a malevolent will, if they want to bring down governments and set up a One World Socialist Government and Pagan Religion and have the financial clout to manipulate things in that direction, all I can think is that it will be very interesting to see what the LORD says to them on Judgment Day, but between now and then they rule. It might not have to be so, if we Christians were living in the power we surely have been given, but generally speaking we aren't.

A bit of a cockeyed preamble there, I suppose, to a completely different topic, the Six-Pointed "Star of David." I listened to Johnson's two talks on that subject and I'm convinced, it's an ancient pagan symbol associated with occultic powers and ought to be avoided like the plague. It certainly never had anything to do with King David; it MIGHT have been used by Solomon in his apostasy due to his many pagan wives; but it was never associated with Judaism until the late Middle Ages, through a teacher of the occultic Kabbalah.

There is, however, a history to it that the Bible touches on, as it is what is indicated by the "star of Remphan" that is mentioned in the Book of Acts, reported by Stephen in recounting the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites, when they went astray into idolatry.

Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

The Jews adopted it as their national symbol in all innocence but they need to wake up. The menorah should be on their flag, not this star of witchcraft that goes back to the worship of pagan gods like Moloch and is used in Kabbalistic and modern witchcraft as well. On the other hand, perhaps it is the most appropriate symbol for their current apostate situation whether they are aware of its connotations or not.

[August 17, 2012: Whole different explanation of the Star of David has come out as reported by Chris Pinto on his radio show today, which I posted on as well.]
I haven't yet convinced myself about the question of whether there is such a thing as "cursed objects" of which a Christian should be aware. It's easy to get a sort of superstitious feeling about this but I really would like to know if it's something to be concerned about. I don't even want a copy of The Watchtower in my place, which one of my neighbors goes around handing out. If there is such a thing as a cursed object that's certain to be, but my feeling is mostly superstitiousness, not a sense of certainty about it. There are, however, some hair-raising online stories about cursed objects. It's definitely something to think about.

But it may be another question whether a symbol like this star is in the same category, anyway. Does it exert any power over those who wear it or revere it? As I wrote in an earlier post I've had some definitely strange reactions to a couple of occultic symbols so I believe there's more to them than lines on paper, but I'm not sure exactly what. I've never had that reaction to the six-pointed star, however, although I can't say I LIKE it either.

=============================================

Here's an example of its use in occult practices. This represents the two sides of the Talisman of Saturn.

P.S. Drat. He goes on from a pretty good study of the hexagram, with good evidence, into the familiar highly questionable analysis of the dollar bill as festooned with Masonic occultic symbology. I'm not going to say it's all wrong, I don't know (I mean I don't know how intentional all the aspects of it are -- it's possible for images to have unintended meanings), and it can certainly be shown that there was a lot of Masonic influence in the founding of the nation, but the usual explanations for the dollar bill in this case are just as compelling: The nation was founded when there were thirteen colonies, which became the first thirteen states of the union. That explains quite well enough why that number appears in the Great Seal in so many forms. The original flag had thirteen stars and thirteen stripes as well for the same reason. The thirteen stripes are still there to commemorate the founding states.

Also, the New World Order reference, Novus Ordo Seclorum, or however that goes, DOES refer to the founding of this unique nation among nations, an intentional nation not based on dynasties and kings. It's a fair rendering of its meaning. And I'd add, does the US look like it's clamoring to be part of a One World Order? Seems to me most of us fight that idea more strenuously than any people anywhere else. We have some misguided leaders who don't mind the idea, traitors that they are, but not the people.

One very far-fetched claim, it seems to me, is that you can draw a hexagram over the pyramid and get letters that refer to things Masonic. It's a pretty bad hexagram, though, very unsymmetrical. You'd think if that was intentional they'd have designed it better.

So does this imagery represent the wickedest of the wicked as he claims, or perhaps just a bunch of symbology that mostly refers to the founding of the USA but also happens to have some Masonic influence in it?

I do have to add that I really don't like that pyramid and that eye and would rather they'd left that off. That part is most certainly Masonic in conception, no matter how they try to rationalize it away.

But if we were a Christian nation wouldn't the imagery have incorporated SOMETHING even just a little bit Christian instead of all this other stuff? I guess a cross is the only truly Christian symbol, though I wish I could think of another. An open Bible would have been nice on there, perhaps praying hands, or a picture of the Pilgrims with the Indians at the first Thanksgiving? How about Soli Deo Gloria for the motto? Solus Christus would make the cross unnecessary. THEN "In God we trust" would have some real meaning. But of course we couldn't put holy things on money, it would profane them. But the Seal should have something like that, shouldn't it? OK, how about a picture of the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria on one side (oy, already I see problems with this one) and the Mayflower on the other along with the Thanksgiving feast and praying hands -- that's not too holy.

[November edit: Hey, of course! Put one of the paintings of the Constitutional Convention or a picture of the Constitution itself, or the Declaration of Independence, on the bill! Of course!]

Oh well, maybe the nation really is occultically Masonically compromised.

I guess that shouldn't be too surprising after all, though it is disappointing. The whole world is occultically saturated. The planets are all named after demon gods, as are the days of the week, while the months are named after various Caesars and other evil men. We name our space probes after such things too.

Maranatha, Lord Jesus.
