Many people are misinformed and deceived by the false claim that the hexagram Star of David ✡️ is the alleged “Star of Molech (Remphan)”, when in fact, it is sacred and holy in origin. The images shown above are of a six-leaf rosette inside of the Star of David found on a lintel at Tel es-Simadi, and also an ancient Synagogue door post depicting the Star of David and crocus flower.
The ancient pagan Sumerian 8-pointed octagram star of Venus is the one described in Amos 5:26 and Acts 7:43.
“PROOF - THE STAR OF DAVID IS NOT THE STAR OF REMPHAN”

“You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan,” (Acts 7:43 ; Amos 5:26)
The oldest pagan civilization was ancient Sumeria. This was where the first occult one world order occurred, when the fallen angel/Nephilim-enhanced gibborim Nimrod had the tower of Bab’el (interdimensional gateway/portal of a god) built. All pagan religions borrowed their ideas from Sumer.
The original and most ancient pagan star is the Octagram. In Sumerian symbolism, the goddess Ishtar is represented by an eight-pointed starburst, and she is associated with the planet of Venus. Today, some people equate the Greek Aphrodite, whom the Romans equated with their Venus, with Ishtar. Both goddesses represent lust and sexuality, although Ishtar also represents fertility and war.
Old Kingdom Egyptians recognized a group of eight deities, four male and four female, with the female bearing feminine forms of the male names: Nu, Nanet, Amun, Amunet, Kuk, Kauket, Huh, and Hauhet. Each pair represents a primal force, water, air, darkness, and infinity, and together they create the world and the sun god Ra from the primordial waters. Together, these eight are known as the Ogdoad, and this context is borrowed by other cultures which may represent it with an octagram.

“Six - Leaf Rossette (Star Of David)”
“One of the most basic and common ancient icons in Israel is the six-leaf rosette. Many consider it popular Jewish artwork because it appears in numerous mosaics, carvings, and lintels. Contrary to popular belief it is not just artwork, it is an icon. The six-leaf rosette is an iconic symbol denoting great significance.
The six-leaf rosette is the icon of the House of David. David was the greatest king in Israel’s history. In spite of his indiscretions, he was known as a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22). Although some dispute David’s priestly heritage, the Bible is clear that he entered into the Temple, ate the Showbread, and offered sacrifices. (I Samuel 21:7, Matthew 12:1-8, II Samuel 6:12-14). The icon signifies all the ideas of David’s character and heritage. It is the root from which comes the six-sided Star of David. Today, the Star of David has come to be generally recognized as a symbol of Jewish identity.
So how did the six-leaf rosette become the icon of the House of David? Icons were generally chosen because they represented a unique element of a geographical area or structure. David was distinguished from the rest of his family because he grew up in Bethlehem Ephrata. His father, Jesse, and his seven brothers lived in the city of Bethlehem. The city of Bethlehem is in a different location than Bethlehem Ephrata. The Hebrew word Ephrata means fruit or produce. Bethlehem Ephrata was the village of fruit or produce. This means it was the farm community for the city of Bethlehem.
An illustration of the difference between the city of Bethlehem and the farm community of Bethlehem Ephrata is seen in the story of Ruth and Boaz. Boaz lived in the city of Bethlehem but his business was in Bethlehem Ephrata. His fields lay just outside of the farm community of Bethlehem Ephrata. He threshed his grain at the threshing floor in Bethlehem Ephrata. Ruth 3:15 says the morning after Ruth slept at his feet on the threshing floor, Boaz went up into the city.[1] It is clear from the text in Ruth that the city of Bethlehem and Bethlehem Ephrata are two different places.
Yalkut HaMachiri records that when Jesse was older, he chose to put away his wife, Nitzevet. He sent her to live at the Tower of the Flock in Bethlehem Ephrata down the hill from the city of Bethlehem. Jesse got lonely after he put away his wife so one night he went down to the Tower of the Flock and visited her. That night she became pregnant with David. David lived at the Tower of Flock in Bethlehem Ephrata with his mother while his father and seven brothers lived in the city of Bethlehem.
Some English texts say, “she went up into the city” rather than “he went up into the city.” This is a misprint in some of the early King James Bibles. The Hebrew text reads that “he” (Boaz) went up into the city.
Luke 2:4 calls the Bethlehem where Christ was born “the City of David.” Why? Because David lived in the farm community of Bethlehem Ephrata. He lived in the Tower of the Flock (Ha Migdol Eder). Jesus was born at the Tower of the Flock in Bethlehem Ephrata as well. (Micah 4:8-5:2).
One of the distinguishing features of Bethlehem Ephrata is the crocus flower that grows naturally there. This crocus flower is a small, purple, six-leafed flower with a yellow stigma. Saffron is a spice that is made from the yellow stigma of the flower. This Saffron is required for anointing the sacrificial lambs at the Temple. When a person would take a lamb to the Temple for sacrifice, he would have it sheared by the pool of Bethesda then have it washed in the pool. Next the lamb would be sprinkled with this yellow saffron in preparation for sacrifice. This crocus flower was so incredibly important in Israel that during ancient times it became known as the icon of the House of David because these flowers grew naturally in Bethlehem Ephrata.”

“The “Star of David”, what is it’s origin?”
“The origin of the Star of David is found in the Hebrew Scriptures first in 2 Samuel 22:31. In the old English King James language of the 1600s, it would be the word “buckler”. This is the exact same Hebrew word used in verse 36 where it is translated “shield”. The word is pronounced “magen”. You will hear the word in the Jewish community said thus: Magen David, or the Shield of David”. Throughout David’s writings, as lead by the Spirit of God, he made many references to his protection as the “shield of God”.
…Countless times in the last 1,000 years the crocus flower and the star are shown together in Jewish carvings and drawings. The Star of David, which is properly called the Magen David, the shield of David as mentioned in 2 Samuel 22:36, Psalms 3:3 and many other places originated with the crocus flower. Perhaps David saw the beauty and gentleness of this flower on the hills of Israel when he was a shepherd boy and took it’s form as his emblem. This emblem has evolved throughout time to the star shape most commonly seen in the western world.
“Thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.””
