(Cavendish, p. 479-80) Great Seal of the United States on the back of the $1.00 bill Note: The six-pointed star is above the eagle in the form of 13 stars.

PRESENT USE OF THE SIX-POINTED STAR




E. PEOPLE / SOCIETY

Neither repented they of their...sorceries (Rev. 9:21) "The HEXAGRAM is used in magic, witchcraft, occultism." (Burns: Hidden Secrets of the Eastern Star, pp. 170-71, quoting Stewart Farrar) 1. Youth "Generation X"

2. Holidays

Halloween

"Halloween...emanates from the 14th century... when the Druids would knock on the doors of the castles demanding the young maiden or princess for their sacrifices. If they were not given the maiden, they would paint a HEXAGRAM on the door to tell...that all should die in that household." (Graham, p. 98)

"As darkness set in on October 31st, the clan of Druids would put on their white robes and hoods. They would carry sickles and Celtic crosses as they began a torchlight procession. At the beginning of the procession, a male slave was killed and dragged by a rope fastened to his left ankle. The Druids would walk until they came to a house or a village where they shouted the equivalent of 'trick or treat.' The treat was a slave girl or any female to be given to the Druids. If the people refused to a girl as a 'treat', blood was taken from the dead slave and used to draw a HEXAGRAM or SIX-POINTED STAR on the door or wall of the village. Spirits of the 'horned hunter of the night' were invoked by the Druids to kill someone in that house or village by fear that night." (Meyer: "Halloween and the Forces of Darkness")

3. Communications a. Telephone star key b. MCI Communications Corporation

c. Sprint Corporation

4. Sports
Olympic Games

5. Occult Societies a. Freemasonry "If the two lateral lines of the STAR OF DAVID are removed, leaving the upward and downward pointing arrows...the result is the Freemason's square and compass." (Knight, p. 240)
"The BLAZING STAR IS PROPERLY SIX-POINTED... the sign of the deity, and to make that more evident, in the middle of it is usually inscribed the letter 'G', for God... In Co-Masonic lodges, the usual form... is a serpent curled round with its tail in its mouth... This was the original form, but the head of the serpent was altered so as to form the letter G." (Leadbeater, p. 79) "I have seen a painting (in which) the BLAZING STAR in the center existed, but it had 8 points instead of 6 or 5. It was called 'the star of the dawn' or 'MORNING STAR'; and represented HORUS of the resurrection, who was pictured as bearing it upon his HEAD and as having given it to his followers." (Leadbeater, p. 7) b. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn The HEXAGRAM is used in occultist Aleister Crowley's "ritual of the BEAST." (Aleister Crowley: Magic Book #4) Israel Regardie reveals that the "HEXAGRAMS OF SATURN" are used in his magical initiation rites. (Regardie, p. 288) Hexagram variations (Regardie, p. 294-95)
"This diagram... from the lid of Christian Rosenkreutz' tomb depicts the Higher Self enthroned in the candidate's (initiate's) psyche." (Israel Regardie, Initiation, and Psychotherapy by Cris Monnastre and David Griffin, Gnosis Magazine, Fall 1995, p. 41) [Note: 6-pointed star is located on the RIGHT HAND]

c. Emblem of the Theosophical Society


"THE INTERLACED TRIANGLES, one (lighter) pointing upwards and the other (darker) pointing downwards, symbolise the descent of spirit into matter and its emergence from the confining limits of form. At the same time they suggest the constant conflict between light and dark forces in nature and man. When, as in the emblem, the double triangle is depicted within the circle of the Serpent, the whole of manifested nature is represented, the universe bounded by the limitations of time and space. The symbol of the interlaced triangles is known in the Hebrew religion as the Seal of Solomon or the Star of David."

d. New Age / Wicca

Tarot Cards

"A growing number of New Agers HAVE ALREADY UNDERGONE AN INITIATION CEREMONY AND ACCEPTED THE MARK. They almost universally report that although they approach the ceremony with dread and foreboding, after it is over... 'I discovered that the LINES ON THE PALM OF MY RIGHT HAND HAD BEEN ALTERED, and a portion of them now FORMED A SIX-POINTED STAR about an inch in circumference. It terrified me when I first spotted it... But as time went on, I learned to accept the changes within my body, and I really felt quite special." (Marrs: Mystery Mark, p. 39) A tattoo on the abdomen of a Wicca initiate:

6. Tattoos/Branding Chakra Piercing "Chakras are the major energy centres within our bodies, called such in the Hindu traditions which have been their main advocates. Body Piercing is an ancient tradition of gnosis which has gained increasing popularity in recent years in various subcultures. One of my aims with performing piercings at these energy centres is to unite these traditions, to open awareness of the chakra energies to the physical/materialist-orientated western mind, and to acknowledge body piercing as an ancient and valid means of gnosis, rather than just a decorative art.

"What is within is brought without. The location of the chakra points is thus demonstrated -although piercings are only basically surface punctures, they do focus the attention on a certain area and thus activate the energies there, as in acupuncture techniques. The physical sensation of pain also releases chemicals in the body which help induce gnosis and trance."



F. RELIGION

1. Israel / Judaism a. World Jewish Congress "The HEXAGRAM was adopted by the Zionist Organization at the First Zionist Congress in 1897." (Cavendish, p. 1300)
b. Flag of Israel "While the State of Israel, it its search for Jewish authenticity, chose as its emblem the menorah... the Magen David (6-pointed star) was maintained on the national (formerly Zionist) flag." (Encyclopedia Judaica: Magen David", p. 697)
2. Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II Commemorative Coin

3. Evangelical/Protestant
a. Jay Gary's book, The Star of 2000 (Note: the 6 loop on the "S" of Star POINTS to the star, which equals a 6-pointed star)


b. Focus on the Family "Why Knighthood is Relevant to Fathers and Sons Today" "First, the knight embodied a well-defined set of ideals... and embraced a moral code of honor. They pledged themselves to their lord, their king and their God. Many knights also became... 'Knights of Christ'... When he turned 21, he was eligible for Knighthood. An elaborate INITIATION... marked the completion of the process... I BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO RESURRECT THE CHIVALROUS KNIGHT: his ideals, his process, and HIS CEREMONIES. I WANT HIM TO SPEAK TO A NEW GENERATION... OUR SONS!" (Lewis: Raising a Modern-Day Knight, pp. 7-18)

PART IV

SATAN'S FUTURE PLANS FOR THE SIX-POINTED STAR



A. The New World Order will be called Saturn's Golden Age.

"Here is the general reformation of the world announced in the Rosicrucian manifestos described as a world reformation… It will bring the world back to the state in which Adam found it, which was also SATURN'S GOLDEN AGE… This return to the golden age of Adam and SATURN, is said to be assisted by 'the high society of the Rosicrucians." (Yates, p. 57) B. The Prieuré de Sion / Merovingian dynasty will rule the world, claiming to be the bloodline of Jesus. "The avowed and declared objective of the Prieuré de Sion is the RESTORATION OF THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY AND BLOODLINE - not only to the throne of France, but to the thrones of other European nations as well." (Baigent, p. 107)


"Our researchers have persuaded us that… the claim to legitimacy of such a monarchy rests on a MEROVINGIAN DESCENT FROM JESUS." (Baigent, p. 406) "We do not think the Incarnation truly symbolizes what it is intended to symbolize unless JESUS WAS MARRIED AND SIRED CHILDREN." (Baigent, p. 409) "We cannot point to one man and assert that he is Jesus' lineal descendant… There are at least a dozen families in Britain and Europe today… who are of Merovingian lineage. These include the houses of Hapsburg-Lorraine,… PLANTARD, Luxembourg, Montpazat, Montesquiou, … the Sinclair family of Britain… as are various branches of the STUARTS (STEWARTS)." (Baigent, pp. 511-12) (Prince Michael Stewart and Thomas Plantard, son of past Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion, Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire.) C. The six-pointed star will be given at the Luciferic initiation. "The Masters of Wisdom…will restore upon earth the ancient mysteries and institute again the order of INITIATION." (Bailey: Esoteric Psychology II, pp. 656-57) "Lucifer works within each of us to bring us to wholeness, and as we move into a NEW AGE …each of us in some way is brought to that point which I term the LUCIFERIC INITIATION, the particular doorway through which the individual MUST pass if he is to come fully into the presence of his light and his wholeness." "Lucifer prepares man in all ways for the EXPERIENCE OF CHRISTHOOD… The light that reveals to us the presence of the Christ… comes from Lucifer. He is the light giver. HE IS APTLY NAMED THE MORNING STAR because it is his light that heralds for man the dawn of a great consciousness… He stands …as the GREAT INITIATOR, the one who hands the soul over to the Christ." (Burns: Jay Gary, The Millennium Doctor, p. 2,3, quoting David Spangler) "In 'The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom' (p. 84), (Benjamin) Crème states: 'Through the MASONIC tradition and certain esoteric groups will come the process of INITIATION. In this coming age millions of people will take the first and second initiation through these transformed and purified institutions." (Smith, p. 66) "In Revelation the Son of God promises to give the MORNING STAR to him that overcometh… The Morning Star was equally identified with HORUS… the Star of Dawn… Henceforth the Morning Star was given to the followers of Horus, therefore we (Masons) use it." (Churchward, p. 206) (In Masonic initiations) "The STAR always floating over the head of an INITIATE betokens the power of the king, upon which he can draw at any moment, while the STAR UPON HIS FOREHEAD is the symbol of his own acquired power." (Leadbeater, p. 313)

"The goal of the initiatory process is to admit mankind into realization of and identification with… DEITY." (Bailey: Rays & Initiation, pp. 79-80) "The goal of 'cosmic evolution' and the 'destiny' of humanity (is) to realize its inherent GODHOOD referred to by U.N.'s Robert Muller." (Hunt, p. 55) Gen. 3:4-5 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and YE SHALL BE AS GODS, knowing good and evil.


D. The world will be deceived that the six-pointed star is the mark of Christ/Messiah, and should be the mark of Christianity.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. (Matt. 24:30) [Concerning the Star of David] "The upwards pointing pyramid is an ancient symbol for the power of a king, with its base resting on Earth and its summit reaching to Heaven. The other (pyramid) represents the power of the priest, established in Heaven and reaching down to Earth. In this overlapping form it is the MARK OF THE DOUBLE MESSIAH… As such it is the ONLY TRUE SIGN OF JESUS, and it carries the extra meaning as being the BRIGHT STAR OF DAVID'S LINE THAT AROSE IN THE MORNING… IF THE STAR OF DAVID IS THE SYMBOL OF THE UNIFIED MESSIAH-SHIP OF JESUS, IT SHOULD BE THE MARK OF CHRISTIANITY." (Knight, pp. 239-41)

E. Mankind will be intimidated and receive the mark through fear of death should he reject it. Those who speak against it will be labeled "racist" and "anti-Semitic" due to the world's misconception that the six-pointed star is Jewish.

Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark… Rev. 20:4 And I saw…the souls of them that were beheaded for the WITNESS of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands… F. The apostate Laodicean Church will be encouraged to receive the "mark of Israel" as the Christian alternative to the microchip implant which will be portrayed as the mark of Beast.

"What about the mark of the Beast in all of these things?"

"Well, I think there will certainly be a public relations campaign to go with it, so it will be the best thing, as they say, since sliced bread. And it will be sandwiched in with human rights and dignity and prosperity and everything wonderful... And how do we insure that we do not take the mark, John, how do we avoid that?

"Well, we have to take the mark of Israel! Israel has been excluded, God has regathered the nation of Israel and so if you identify yourself as a Christian Zionist with the Jewish people, you are automatically going to be an enemy of this Beast and that will insure that you don't take the mark of the Beast." (John Klein & Ken Garrison, Tzemach Institute, "The 'Antichrist' Government in Daniel and Revelation" audio file)

G. Since important verses related to the mark and the morning star have been revised, false teachers will use new versions to justify receiving the mark.

Amos 5:26-27

KJV - But ye have born the tabernacle of your MOLOCH and CHIUN (Saturn), your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into CAPTIVITY beyond Damascus...

NASV - You also carried along SIKKUTH your King and Kiyyn, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Therefore I will make you go into EXILE beyond Damascus...

NIV - You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god which you made for yourselves. Therefore I will send you into EXILE beyond Damascus...

"CHIUN: See REMPHAN. Another name for the god SATURN" (Strong's Concordance p. 194)

Strong's #3594 Chiun = "an image" or "pillar" 1) probably a statue of the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn and used to symbolise Israelite apostasy

Isaiah 14:12

KJV - How art thou fallen from heaven, O LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING
NASV - How you have fallen from heaven, O STAR OF THE MORNING, SON OF THE DAWN
NIV - How you have fallen from heaven, O MORNING STAR, SON OF THE DAWN

II Peter 1:19

KJV - ...until the day dawns, and the DAY STAR arises in your hearts
NASV - ...until the day dawns and the MORNING STAR arises in your hearts
NIV - ...until the day dawns and the MORNING STAR rises in your hearts

Strong's #5459 - Greek word "PHOSOPHORUS"

"Lightbringing: sc. (that is to say) ASTER (Gr.), LUCIFER, THE MORNING STAR; met. (metaphorically) II. Pet. 1:19" (Perschbacher)

Revelation 13:18

KJV - ... Count the number of the beast, for it is the NUMBER OF A MAN; and his number is (666)
NIV - ... for it is MAN'S NUMBER. His number is 666.

Revelation 14:1

KJV - ... a Lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with him (144,000) having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
NASV - ...having HIS NAME AND the name of his Father written on their foreheads
NIV - ... had HIS NAME AND his Father's name written on their foreheads.

The Star of David

"...all evidence suggests that the early use of the hexagram was limited to 'practical Kabbalah,' that is, Jewish magic, probably dating back to the 6th century C.E. Legends connect this symbol with the "Seal of Solomon," the magical signet ring used by King Solomon to control demons and spirits. Although the original ring was inscribed with the Tetragrammaton, the sacred Four-Letter Name of God, medieval amulets imitating this ring substituted the hexagram or pentagram..."

G. The Merovingian Christ, Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair, will require everyone to receive the Seal of Solomon on his right hand or forehead, the location of the Third Eye.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads” – Rev. 13:16

"The name Saint-Clair is derived from the Latin Sanctus Clarus, meaning 'Holy Light'." - Gardner, Laurence. BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL; Element Books, 1996.

"Clairvoyance. The faulty of seeing with the inner eye or spiritual sight... Real clairvoyance means the faculty of seeing through the densest matter (the latter disappearing at the will and before the spiritual eye of the Seer), and irrespective of time (past, present and future) or distance." - H. P. Blavatsky, THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY, London, 1892, Los Angeles, CA: The Theosophy Company, 1990.

"Many authors recognize that clairvoyance is gained through use of the third eye... learn[ing] clairvoyance, levitation and astral projection by learning to open the third eye." Burns, pp. 363

...the snake uncoils and stretches up through wheels (chakras)...until it reaches the area of the forehead corresponding to the third eye... It is then...that man recovers his sense of the eternal.’” ~ J.E. Cirlot, Dictionary of Symbols, pp. 284-6

THE GOSPEL

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also unto the Greek. Romans 1:16

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel…by which ye are saved… For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES... I Corinthians 15:1-5 - …He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES… All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter… He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for HE WAS CUT OFF OUT OF THE LAND OF THE LIVING: FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF MY PEOPLE HE WAS STRICKEN... Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt MAKE HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN… He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities… Isaiah 53:1-11

...and that HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; and that he was seen…

I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption. Psalm 16:8,9

After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. Hosea 6:2

That if thou shalt CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved… For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon him. For whosoever shall CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD shall be saved. Romans 10:9-13

Return, O LORD, DELIVER MY SOUL; OH SAVE ME FOR THY MERCIES' SAKE. Psalm 6:4

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. Psalm 32:1-2

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

…for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6
