A Re-examination of the Hexagram - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Up till now, i have seen much research from others showing the occultic and satanic connections to the hexagram, and so had been very skeptical of any validity of the hexagram for actually representing the Commonwealth of faithful Yisrael. My change of mind came when a friend gave the following analogy: if someone stole your car and committed a robbery with it, it doesn't mean that you used your car to commit a robbery. Also, on the Alex Jones show, Alex said something to the effect that there are certain archetypal symbols that are ingrained in our beings, and those symbols can be used for good or evil (an example being the Native American swastika vs. the Nazi swastika), so it was with those two premises that i took another look at the hexagram.

"Detroit" by Harry Callahan
In this photographic image of a weed against the sky we can see an archetypal feminine image. The great patriarch Avraham was no stranger to this imagery. For the ancient Hebrew pictographic letter Waw or more correctly UU (oo) looked exactly like this

It's primary meaning was tent peg which also meant add, secure, and hook. In Yahshar 21:22-48 Avraham goes to visit his son Yishmael. When he comes to the tent, Yishmael is not there but his wife is inhospitable to Avraham, and so Avraham leaves an encoded message with her about the tent peg not being good (little did she know that the message was about herself). When Yishmael returned, he understood the message was not about the tent peg, but about his wife dishonoring him, so he sent her away and got a different wife. Avraham once again comes to visit when Yishmael is not around, but Yishmael's new wife is hospitable to Avraham. Avraham leaves a message with her about the tent peg being good, she relays it to Yishmael, and he right away knows that his new wife did honor him. Obviously the tent peg is a euphemism and literal graphic image for wife.

note the similarities for the ancient Hebrew UU or Waw and this ancient sumerian symbol for woman from about 3000 b.c.e. The upside down triangle is indeed a feminine representation.

is a symbol for female in both ancient and modern ideographic systems. in particular it is the female part of the family symbol

Note the similarity of the right side up triangle in this modern woman symbol.

And as could be expected, the French and Gypsy hobo system had

as a sign for woman or woman lives here.

So then, what was the Northern Kingdom of Yisrael (Ephrayim) compared to in Yermeyahu 3 and Yehezkel 23?
A woman.

What was the Southeren Kingdom of Yisrael (Yahudah) compared to in Yermehay 3 and Yehezkel 23?
A woman.

Sisters to be exact. And both separated.

What do we have going on in Yehezkel 37:16--28? The two previously separated metaphorical sisters are symbolized by two sticks which are then reunited together la achadim (as one) in the Hand of YHWH

Comment by Lev/Christopher on November 3, 2009 at 5:53am: If the upside down triangle represents a woman then the rightway-up triangle ipso facto must represent the opposite, viz. a man....which is what the hexagram anciently used to represent, and still represents in occult circles - sexual union between male and female (or esoterically, heaven and earth in conjugation)...only the downward pointing triangle represents the female in occultism (the Yoni Yantra). Specifically in Hinduism (which is little changed since the earliest biblical times) the hexagram represents the sexual union between Kali (the dark mother - downward pointing triangle) and Shiva (the god of destruction - upward-pointing triangle).

I think you're going to have all kinds of problems in this pictographic theory which I think is pretty tenuous. I have never come across the hexagram as representing the union of two female elements - indeed the symbol would connote lesbianism were that so. Why even defend it? It represents a militantly anti-messiah religion. And why get hooked into the sea of occultism, whose symbol the hexagram overwhelmingly is, when it was never represented in the Torah? Why not stick to what Yahweh has already revealed?

Finally, the two sisters of Ezekiel - Ephraim and Judah - are depicted as sticks, not triangles, so why not stick to the biblical symbolism of two sticks becoming one ;) ...should we even need a symbol for that. How do you envisage two sticks becoming one? Do we cross them? I think not. So why reverse the triangles? Why (assuming you even accept the triangle image) not just merge the two triangle images into a single triangle?

It seems to me that a far better symbol for the commonwealth of Israel would be a 12-pointed star and not a six-pointed one, 6 being the number of man and imperfection...assuming we even need one.

Sorry, I am unconvinced...just as I would be unconvinced in representing Yah'shua as a swastika because the swastika is an ancient symbol of Life. It's just not worth it. And as a ministry which once used the hexagram, we are frankly glad to be rid of it with all its negative connotations. I can imagine ex-occultists and satanists stumbling over it....
