Researcher, Historian and Journalist Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh Ph.D, and Henry Lincoln spent years in Judaea (land of Israel) to investigate the Hexagram symbol, which is claimed to be the "Star of David". Here is their findings:
"There is absolutely no proof that the Hexagram was ever used by, or associated with, King David or the Temple he planned and prepared for which was erected after his death by his son, King Solomon." (1)
Dr. OJ. Graham, a Theologist in York University of Canada, interviewed a Jewish Orthodox Rabbi regarding the use of "Star of David" on Israeli flag:
Dr. Graham: "your view on the Star of David ?"
Orthodox Jew: "the Star of David is Not Jewish."
Dr. Graham: "Well, what symbol is it then ?"
Orthodox Jew: "Not our brand of Judaism. We use the Menorah as symbol."
Bible Old Testament, the oldest scripture in the history of Jewish prophets, clearly pointed the use of Menorah in ancient Biblical Temples, and Not single verse mentioned the "Star of David" (Hexagram) being used by Judaism, or any Abrahamic origin religions.
"The first mention of this symbol was in 922 BC, when Solomon got involved in witchcraft and magic, when Solomon married the daughter of Pharaoh," (2)
The use of Hexagram symbol can even be traced back to the world's earliest civilization: the Sumerian / Akkadian in the "Bronze Age" (around 4500 BC), south of Mesopotamia (now modern Iraq), which was 3500 years Before the era of King David (1000 BC).
Writer John Michell in his research, also traced the use of Hexagram in ancient rock formation Stonehenge in Wiltshire England, which Historians believed to had been used for spiritual / religious practices. According to archeological research, the Stonehenge was built around 2600 BC and had its peak in 2000 BC, which was around 1000 years Before the era of King David. (3)
TESTIMONIES:
Sean Sellers, an American murderer who was given death penalty, made a shocking confession during his trial that he was a practicer of Satanism. In his autobiography, Sean wrote about Hexagram:
"the most powerful of all the signs, to the Occult, it consists of 6 sides, 6 points and 6 smaller triangles, thus 666. The most powerful and evil sign in satanism and of all the occult world. The Hexagram is used mainly in witchcraft to summon demons from the world." (4)
Rev. William James Schnoebelen, a church scholar and writer, according to his research, Hexagram is a symbol that was, and still used in devil worshiping rituals (Satanism).
Alaister Crowley, a famous English occultist and "father of mysticism" confessed of using Hexagram in his " Thelemite" rituals adapted from Ancient Egyptian religion.
David J. Meyer, a pastor of the Church of "Truth Tabernacle" who died in 2010, was raised in a family that had practiced "Wiccan" witchcraft, later confessed of witnessing the use of Hexagram in Satanic rituals
Dr. Cathy Burns, a scholar and a writer, according to her research she wrote:
"When the male triangle penetrates the female triangle it produced the six pointed crest of Solomon or Hexagram, the most wicked symbol in witchcraft." (5)
Helena Blavatsky, a Russian-German occultist, founded the "Theosophical Society" research institute, devoting its research to ancient archaic (pagan) religions, revealed the true identity of the Pagan God in Ancient Egypt “The god of time in Ancient Egyptian was Chiun (or Kiyun in Hebrew), known as SATURN." (6)
Dr. OJ. Graham, wrote in his book "Six Pointed Star: its Origin and Usage", explaining the identity of Pagan God worshiped in ancient Middle East : "the word Kiyun in ancient Akkadian text means: the Star of SATURN."
Rev. Alexander Hislop, a pastor of Free Church Scotland and editor of the "Scottish Guardian newspaper", explains about the God Saturn in one of his books:
"SATURN signifies the Hidden God. the name Saturn in Chaldee (Neo-Babilonian empire 626-539 BC) is pronounced Satur; written in only four letters: S.T.U.R." (7)
What is most interesting is that: the God of Saturn (the Pagan God worshiped in ancient Middle East civilization), was written in Aramaic (ancient Hebrew) in only four letters: S.T.U.R. has a value in them since every Hebrew character has its own numerical value:
S = 60,
T = 400,
U = 6,
R = 200,
Total = 666

Peneliti, penulis dan jurnalis Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh Ph.D, dan Henry Lincoln, melakukan riset di dataran Judaea (wilayah Israel dan sekitarnya), meneliti penggunaan simbol Hexagram yang diklaim sebagai "Star of David" (simbol Raja Daud), dan dijadikan logo pada bendera negara Israel, berikut ini adalah kesimpulan penelitiannya:
"Tidak ditemukan satupun simbol Hexagram pada seluruh situs sejarah maupun manuskrip purbakala, yang dapat membuktikan bahwa simbol tersebut berasal dari Raja Daud, maupun pada seluruh Kuil pubakala yang dibangun oleh Raja Sulaiman."
Dr. OJ. Graham, seorang Teologis di York University of Canada, melakukan riset khusus terhadap penggunaan simbol Hexagram. Simak wawancaranya dengan seorang Yahudi Ortodok yang dilakukan di York University, Canada:
Dr. Graham: "Apa pendapat anda mengenai Bintang Daud ?"
Orthodox Jew: "Bintang Daud Tidak berasal dari Yahudi."
Dr. Graham: "Kalo begitu, simbol apakah itu ?"
Orthodox Jew: "Bukan berasal dari Judaisme (agama Yahudi). Kami menggunakan Menorah sebagai simbol."
Hexagram Bukan simbol Yahudi. Simbol bangsa Yahudi adalah Menorah.
Injil Perjanjian Lama, kitab suci tertua nabi-nabi Yahudi di muka bumi, jelas-jelas menyebutkan penggunaan Menorah, dan Tidak ada satupun surat/ayat yang menyebutkan mengenai penggunaan Hexagram.
“The first mention of this symbol was in 922 BC, when Solomon got involved in witchcraft and magic, when Solomon married the daughter of Pharaoh.”
Terjemahan: Simbol ini (Hexagram) digunakan pada tahun 922 SM, oleh praktek sihir yang dilakukan pada masa Nabi Sulaiman, setelah Nabi Sulaiman menikahi anak Firaun.
Bahkan asal muasal penggunaan Hexagram dapat dilacak jauh ke salah satu peradaban tertua di muka bumi, yakni: peradaban Sumeria / Akkadia pada "masa Perunggu" (Bronze Age) di selatan Mesopotamia (wilayah Irak) sekitar 4500 SM, yakni 3500 tahun sebelum era Raja David (1000 SM).
Penulis John Michell juga melacak kemungkinan penggunaan Hexagram pada formasi batu purbakala "Stonehenge" yang berlokasi di Wiltshire, Inggris, dimana para sejarawan meyakini peninggalan Arkeologi tersebut berasal dari Era Neolithic (Bronze Age) dan digunakan untuk ritual-ritual pemujaan sekitar 2000 SM, yang berarti 1000 tahun sebelum era Raja David (nabi Daud AS.)
Sean Sellers, seorang terpidana mati yang membuat pengakuan mengejutkan saat persidangan pengadilan bahwa ia melakukan praktek pemujaan Setan. Dalam otobiografi-nya, Sean menulis tentang Hexagram:
"Simbol terkuat dalam Okultisme, mengandung 6 sisi, 6 sudut, dan 6 segitiga, memiliki arti 666, merupakan simbol paling mistis dalam aliran Satanisme dan dunia Okultisme. Hexagram digunakan dalam praktek sihir pemanggilan Iblis."
Rev.William Schnoebellen, seorang cendikiawan gereja dan penulis, dalam risetnya menyatakan bahwa Hexagram adalah Simbol yang digunakan dalam praktek pemujaan Iblis (Satanisme).
Alaister Crowley, seorang penganut Okultisme terkenal dari Inggris, yang juga dikenal sebagai "Bapak dari Mistisisme", mengaku menggunakan Hexagram dalam ritual aliran "Thelemite" yang ia adopsi dari agama era Mesir Kuno.
David J. Meyer, seorang pastor dari gereja "Truth Tabernacle" yang baru saja meninggal pada tahun 2010, mengaku dibesarkan di keluarga yang mempraktekan sihir "Wiccan", dimana Hexagram digunakan dalam ritual-ritual Satanisme.
Dr. Carthy Burns, seorang cendikiawan dan penulis, dalam risetnya terhadap simbol Hexagram menuliskan:
"Ketika segitiga "laki-laki" mempenetrasi segitiga "perempuan" menciptakan simbol 6 sudut Solomon, atau yang dikenal dengan Hexagram, adalah simbol yang digunakan dalam praktek sihir."
Helena Blavitsky, seorang peneliti Okultisme berdarah Rusia-Jerman, yang mendirikan Institut Riset "Theosophical Society", mendedikasikan risetnya ke aliran agama-agama Pagan purbakala, membeberkan identitas dari Tuhan Pagan yang disembah oleh peradaban Mesir Kuno sbb:
"Tuhan di era Mesir Kuno dikenal dengan Chiun (atau Kiyun dalam bahasa Hebrew), juga dikenal dengan SATURN."
Dr. OJ. Graham, seorang Teologis dari York University of Canada, menulis dalam bukunya "Six Pointed Star: its Origin and Usage", menjelaskan Tuhan Pagan yang disembah oleh peradaban purbakala di Timur Tengah: "kata "Kiyun dalam peradaban purbakala Akkadian memiliki arti: Star of SATURN."
Rev. Alexander Hislop seorang pastor dari Free Church Scotland dan editor dari "Scottish Guardian newspaper", menjelaskan soal the God of Saturn dalam sebuah bukunya:
"SATURN adalah Tuhan Tersembunyi (Hidden God). Nama Saturn dalam peradaban Chaldee (Neo-Babilonia 626-539 SM) ditulis hanya dengan 4 huruf: S.T.U.R.
Yang paling menarik adalah "Tuhan Saturn" (Tuhan yang disembah oleh peradaban purbakala Pagan Timur Tengah), ditulis dalam bahasa Aramaic (Hebrew purbakala) dengan hanya 4 huruf: S.T.U.R. ternyata memiliki nilai, dikarenakan setiap karakter (abjad) Hebrew memiliki nilai numerikal:
S = 60,
T = 400,
T = 400,
U = 6,
R = 200,
Total 666.
