Biblical Reasons to Reject the Star of David

1. Identifying the Star of David with faithful Jewish people would be out of character with God.

Why? The Lord has shown that every detail right down to the smallest jot and tittle (Matthew 5:18), is known by Him. It is inconceivable to me that if God supported the Star of David, the most ubiquitous identifier of modern Judaism, He would have commanded it in His Word.

Ken Thornberg, a man whom I consider the most authoritative person in the world on spiritual warfare and who hears clearly from God asked the Lord about it. Here is the response Ken received:

“Examine My Word with the exact description of my temple. Where is the star of David? If it was my emblem, where I explained everything in extreme detail, wouldn’t I have described the star of David there?
Where is it in the ship of Noah, with this board-by-board design, cubit by cubit, if it was my emblem.
There is no star of David in the blueprint given to Moses or in the construction of the Temple. If it was of Me, it would be there. Send my people to My Word.
The key focus is where is it for the Jewish nation who are still under the dominion of the Torah the law? For those who are completed Jews, where is it in the perfect law of Jesus Christ.
My Word says an evil and adulterous generation seek a sign, but none shall be given (Matthew 12:39). The Jews seek a sign. Point them to the Word.
Take them through the infinitesimal details given to Moses. Where is it?
The tabernacle which God’s spirit came into, and the people of God saw it there, where was the Star of David?
Where is it in the books mentioned concerning David? Where is the Star mentioned in the descriptions and stories of Solomon?
Where is it in the Holy of Holies when there is the candlestick, the breath and the length and so on and so on. Where is it next to the rod of Aaron? Is it in the law, is it in the commandments, is it written in the scrolls? The issue isn’t who brought it to the Jews my son, where it came in. The issue is I did not ordain it or specify it. Man brought it. It is not of me.

2. The Star of David has six points. Six is the number of Man.

Why should it be elevated to identify God’s people? The temptation to be like God, is central to the Biblical story. From the temptation of Eve in the garden, “and you will be like God” (Genesis 3:5), to Satan’s pride (Isaiah 14:12-17), “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High’” (Verse 14), to the latter’s temptation of Jesus (see Matthew 4:8-9, Luke 4:4-8), that which is not god would try to attain the status of the One who is.

This is against the command of God, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only’ (Deuteronomy 8:3), and diametrically opposed to the character of Jesus about whom was written: “Who, being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped” (Philippians 2:6).

3. The Star of David is used to invoke demonic powers in the higher levels of Satanist rites.

The pentagram is popularly used in the lower levels of the worship of Satan. Having worked in the field of deliverance for many years, and dealing with Satanic ritual abuse victims, I have heard accounts of this being true.

A circle is drawn around the Star of David to form the ‘seal of Solomon’ with satanic worshippers standing on the intersections of the Star chanting to invoke demonic powers.

4. Satan, consistent with the character, wants to pervert God’s holy and chosen people.

He comes to “steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10a). Why not identify them and their nation with his pride? Hence Adolf Hitler, an occultist and hater of the Jews writ large, would force Jews to bear the emblem of the Star of David on their clothing even as they were shipped off to camps and ovens to their deaths.

The origins of the Star of David, while in dispute, appear to be connected to Islamic mysticism and Kabbalistic Jews
(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_David), not God’s holy people.

5. Arguably the Star of David has been identified with idolatry, not with faithfulness in Biblical texts:

“Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? You also carried Sikkuth your king and Chiun, your idols, the star of your gods, which you made for yourselves. Therefore, I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus, says the Lord, whose Name is the God of Hosts.” Amos 5:25-27.

“You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Remphan, images which you made to worship; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’” Acts 7:43

(Please see https://www.gospeldefenceleague.org/index.php/articles/158-the-real-story-behind-the-six-pointed-star). The Menorah is a better and more faithful symbol to identify God’s people.

7. Occultic symbols have spiritual power.

Their possession brings curses upon those who own them. Having worked extensively in the field of deliverance, we strongly recommend that objects that have been used for occultic purposes and occultic symbols be thrown away.

While the list is lengthy including items such as dream catchers, death masks, crystals, etc., we have found that once the item or symbol has been dispensed with, demons associated with it lose their power and must leave. The same phenomena have occurred with Star of David; it is on the list.
