The Star of Saturn (Star of Rephan)

(Am 5:26) And you will certainly carry Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan, your images, the star of your god, whom you made for yourselves.

(Ac 7:43) But it was the tent of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan that you took up, the figures which you made to worship them. Consequently I will deport you beyond Babylon.

One god under many names

SStephen, speaking under inspiration, boiled Israel's history of false worship down to a golden calf, a tent of Moloch and a star. The golden calf was Apis, the Egyptian bull, and the god hidden behind that bull was Saturn. Moloch, the bull-headed god children were burned to, is Saturn too. Kaiwan in Amos and Rephan in Acts are the Mesopotamian and Egyptian names for the same planet-god. The studies on this site follow that one deity through every head of the beast as it changes shape, from calf to bull, to Kronos devouring his children, to the serpent swallowing its own tail.

The ouroboros and the star

The ouroboros is a serpent eating its tail, one of the oldest Egyptian symbols, and it stands for cyclical time, so occultists tie it to Saturn, the god of time. The occultist Eliphas Levi wrote that the serpent devouring its own tail was "emblematic of prudence and of Saturn." In occult imagery that serpent keeps turning up with a six-pointed star inside it. A star inside the symbol of Saturn is the star of Saturn, the star of Rephan and Kaiwan that Israel carried.

Not the star of David

The six-pointed star has been handed a public meaning for everyone else to see, but its hidden meaning is older than the name it carries now. Freemasonry's own publication calls it a Kabbalistic symbol of sexual union. From Kabbalistic tradition it passed into Rothschild heraldry, and from there onto a national flag. The name on the shield was public, and so was the symbol. What got dropped was the thread that ties them back to Amos 5:26.

Counting the number

Part 4 of the mark of the beast series shows that the digital roots of the mitosis sequence form a repeating cycle of 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5. Plot that cycle and you get the digital shape of DNA. Mirror it and you get the star of Saturn, with the numbers 3, 6 and 9 doubled. The sum of 1 through 36 is 666. Satan's ultimate creation copies Jehovah's process of creation with a twist, exactly as he said he would (Isaiah 14:14).
