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, summarized Israel's history of false worship with a golden calf, a tent of Moloch and a star. The golden calf was Apis, the Egyptian bull whose hidden character was Saturn. Moloch, the bull-headed god to whom children were burned, is Saturn. Kaiwan in Amos and Rephan in Acts are Mesopotamian and Egyptian names for the same planet-god. The studies on this site trace that one deity through every head of the beast, changing form from a calf, to a bull, to Kronos devouring his children, to the serpent devouring its own tail.

The ouroboros and the star

The ouroboros, a serpent eating its tail, is one of the oldest Egyptian symbols and represents cyclical time, which is why the occult identifies it with 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 repeatedly encloses a six-pointed star. 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 given an exoteric meaning for the public. Its esoteric meaning is older than the name it now carries. Freemasonry's own publication describes it as a Kabbalistic symbol of sexual union, and it passed from Kabbalistic tradition into Rothschild heraldry and onto a national flag. The name on the shield was public. The symbol was public. What was removed was the framework that connects them 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, that plotting it produces the digital shape of DNA, and that mirroring the pattern produces 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).
