Established facts
The Star of David is a hexagram formed by overlapping two triangles.In Hebrew it is called "Magen David," meaning "Shield of David." The shape was widely used as decoration and as an amulet across many cultures before the medieval period.It became fixed as a defining symbol of Judaism starting with the Jewish community of Prague in the 17th century.The First Zionist Congress adopted the star as a Zionist symbol in 1897.Israel, founded in 1948, placed the star at the center of its flag.
Three rounds of shape-matching turn a planet into a number.
In this narrativeSaturn's hexagon
Splitting the hexagon at Saturn's north pole into two triangles produces the Star of David1.So this picture calls the Star of David "Saturn's star"1.One triangle represents masculine and matter, the other feminine and spirit1.In Vedic astrology's planet-color chart, Saturn is black2.Coloring the star in that shade places it in the same family as the black cube2.
In this narrativeReading the star through numbers
The Star of David has six points, six sides, and six inner triangles1.This picture lines up all three sixes to make 6661.It sets them alongside carbon's six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons1.So a single star becomes a figure carrying the number of the beast1.
In this narrativeThe weekday and Saturn worship
According to this picture, the ancient Hebrews represented Saturn with the hexagram1.The Semitic peoples called Saturn "El" and represented it as a black cube2.The weekday-planet correspondence table, in which Saturday is Saturn's day, is used as further support1.This is read alongside the fact that the Jewish Sabbath falls on Saturday1.So this picture classifies the whole of Judaism as Saturn worship2.Another page sets the Star of David next to a drawing of the Masonic temple's pillars3.
In this narrativeHow the symbol expands
This bridge is built from a method of splitting and merging shapes1.Split one hexagon into two triangles, count the vertices, apply a color1.The result puts a weather phenomenon, a national flag, and a religious holiday all on the same line1.
