Hello, this is Pastor Stephen Anderson from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona,
and today I want to talk about the Star of David.
Now this is a really big symbol for the Jews.
In fact, the Israeli flag features the Star of David.
If you go over to the home of a Jew, you'll often see decorations that include the Star
of David.
And we're told that this star has something to do with David.
But yet when you look this up in the Bible, you'll never find any Star of David or any
star that's associated with David.
I asked four different Jewish leaders, rabbis, I asked them, is the Star of David found
in the Bible?
They said, no.
I asked them, where does it come from?
What does it mean?
And they said, they don't know where it comes from.
But supposedly this is just a godly symbol.
And even Christians today will often wear the Star of David and promote the Star of
David to show their support for Israel.
They support the Star of David.
Let me show you what that star really is.
It's not of David.
Listen to Acts 7, 43.
The Bible says, yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god, Remphan,
figures which he made to worship them, and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
So the Bible says that in the Old Testament, when the children of Israel worshiped other
gods, they made a star that they worshiped.
They made a figure or an image of a star that they worshiped.
And that was called the Star of Remphan.
And so he said, you took up the star of your god, Remphan.
So there's no Star of David in the Bible, but there definitely is a Star of Remphan.
Now let me ask you this, are the Jews today in modern Israel worshiping the
Lord Jesus Christ?
Because the Bible says that if you don't have the Son, you don't have the Father.
So you can't sit there and say that they're worshiping God the Father.
They don't acknowledge Jesus, but they are worshiping God the Father.
No.
God said if you don't have the Son, you don't have the Father.
Therefore they do not have the same God that we have today.
So they're worshiping a false god.
And so does it surprise you that the star that they use as a symbol of their false
religion that worships another god is mentioned in the Bible as the Star of Remphan.
That's what that symbol on the flag is.
Don't you dare, as a Christian, you know, decorate with that symbol or put that
signal up in your church as some kind of a symbol of Israel.
You know what?
It's not of David.
It's not of Israel.
It's of Remphan.
