IS THE STAR OF DAVID AN OCCULT SIGN?
Jacob Prasch: “Nonsense upon nonsense, lie upon lie. The two (types of) people who propagate this the most are either conspiracy theorists or (the) ignorant, or anti-Semites. The star of David is not even a star, it is called Magen David, it is the shield of David. It represents divine protection, a configuration of the battle shield referred to in the book of Isaiah and adopted in its Roman variant in Ephesians 6..... Later Rabbinic interpretations..... explain it as the configuration in the book of Numbers and Exodus of the tribes of Israel organised around the Holy Ark when they camped, each space and each triangle being one, and there being a total of six. That is how they look at it, they don’t see it as a star. Secondly, a symbol of witchcraft and sometimes Wicca is a five pointed star called the pentagram. To this day, witches use it, covens use it, but you will also see it on cartoons or you will see it on commercial advertisements. Those people are not using it deliberately as a demonic symbol. That is absolute nonsense.... "
The opening remarks are typical of Prasch's ungodly diversionary tactic of disparaging anyone who challenges him scripturally. I am not a conspiracy theorist, ignorant, or anti-Semitic, and I will debunk Prasch’s arguments point by point:
* Prasch's claim that anyone who is Jewish or who knows the Hebrew language identifies the star of David as a shield is incorrect. Magen David does actually translate shield of David, but it is accepted by many rabbis as both a star and a shield. The shield of David is purely fictitious, but if it had existed, the supposed shield of David would have been circular, in other words, it would have consisted of a star within a circle, therefore both interpretations are valid.
* Prasch forgot to specify the verse in Isaiah that refers to the “shield of David". Perhaps that is because no such verse exists! There is no specific reference to the shield of David in the book of Isaiah or anywhere else in the scriptures. The Jewish Encyclopedia: "Never in the Tanakh does it reference HaMelekh David having such a shield." {1} Ephesians 6 is New Testament: ..take up the shield of faith. (Ephesians 6:6). This verse does not tie in with Magen David at all, this is simply more of Prasch's eisegesis. The official explanation for the symbol is entirely secular: “When Theodor Herzl looked for a symbol for the new Zionist movement, he chose the Star of David because it was so well known and also because it had no religious associations.” [2]
* Since there is absolutely no support for the shield of David either in the scriptures or in early rabbinic literature, Prasch is forced to base his argument upon obscure “later Rabbinic interpretations” which he cannot legitimise and fails to cite. He is clutching at straws.
The Jewish Virtual Library: “Scholars such as Franz Rosenzweig have attributed deep theological significance to the symbol. For example, some note that the top triangle strives upward, toward G-d, while the lower triangle strives downward, toward the real world. Some note that the intertwining makes the triangles inseparable, like the Jewish people. Some say that the three sides represent the three types of Jews: Kohanim Levites and Israel. While these theories are theologically interesting, they have little basis in historical fact.” {3}
* Prasch: "What a symbol means in one time and in one culture, does not mean it has the same meaning in another time or another culture." hmmm - this certainly does not apply to Magen David. The hexagram star is the star of rephaim/repham/remphan and has particular evil connotations in both the Old and the New Testaments. Remphan has links with Moloch, a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice. Stephen condemned the practices associated with "Moloch and the star of your god Rephan" shortly before he was stoned (Acts 7:43; Amos 5:26). This particular star god is known both as Rephan and Kalwan (Hebrew Chiun). ".....we can infer that this star of Remphan may well be the Seal of Solomon. In Qabbalistical magical texts attributed -- either rightly or wrongly -- to King Solomon, we see that both of these symbols, the pentagram and hexagram, when incased in a circle, are used to conjure spirits and called, respectively, the 'Pentacle of Solomon' or the 'Hexagram of Solomon'." {4}
The "Seal of Solomon" was adopted by Mayer Amshel Bauer who changed his name to Mayer Amschel Rothschild (red shield) when he adopted the symbol of the hexagram around 1763.
When the Flag of Israel was adopted on October 28, 1948, five months after the establishment of the State of Israel, it met with tremendous opposition from many Jews who were aware of its historical connection with the mystery religions as the symbol of Moloch. This necessitated significant revisionist propaganda in order to transform it into an acceptable Jewish symbol.

Prasch goes on digging an even bigger hole by referring to Procter and Gamble (P&G) and the controversy surrounding their former logo. Actually the problem concerned rather more than the thirteen stars on the P&G logo if I remember correctly! Below is a quick résumé of the rumours of Satanism that have caused P&G a number of problems over the years. Below are the main P&G details that are available on the web:
“The President of Procter & gamble appeared on the Phil Donahue Show on March 1, 1994. He announced that due to the openness of our society, he was coming out of the closet about his association with the church of Satan. He stated that a large portion of his profits from Procter & Gamble Products goes to support this satanic church. When asked by Donahue if stating this on t.v. would hurt his business, he replied, ‘THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CHRISTIANS IN THE UNITED STATES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.’” [5]
"P&G's former logo
originated in 1851 as a crude cross that barge workers on the Ohio River
painted on cases of P&G star candles to identify them. P&G later
changed this symbol into a trademark that showed a man in the moon overlooking
13 stars, said to commemorate the original 13 colonies.
The company received
unwanted media publicity in the 1980s when rumors spread that the
moon-and-stars logo was a satanic symbol. The accusation was based on a particular
passage in the Bible, specifically Revelation 12:1, which states: "And there
appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, the moon
under her feet and upon her head a crown of 12 stars." P&G's logo
consisted of a man's face on the moon surrounded by 13 stars. Some claimed that
the logo was a mockery of the heavenly symbol alluded to in the aforementioned
verse, thus construing the logo to be satanic. Where the flowing beard meets
the surrounding circle, three curls were said to be a mirror image of the
number 666,
or the reflected number of the beast. At the top and bottom, the
hair curls in on itself and was said to be the two horns like those of a ram.
The moon-and-stars logo was discontinued in 1985 in a failed attempt to squash
the rumors.
These interpretations
have been denied by company officials and no evidence linking the company to
the Church of Satan or any other occult organization
has ever been presented. The company unsuccessfully sued Amway from 1995 to
2003 over rumors forwarded through a company voice-mail system in 1995. In
2007, the company successfully sued individual Amway distributors for reviving
and propagating the false rumors.
The Church of Satan denies being supported by Procter & Gamble.” [6]

Moving on to the subject of NASA, Prasch would have us believe that NASA are a transparent organisation. In reality NASA are undoubtedly an occult Luciferian organisation. They did name their projects after Greek Gods which are actually demons as Prasch reports. NASA are demonstrably involved in Freemasonry at the highest levels of the organisation. Buzz Aldrin has made no secret of the fact that he is a 33 Degree Scottish Rite Freemason. He admitted performing a ceremony on board the lunar module with Neil Armstrong, possibly to the god Osiris(?) during the alleged moon landing. Below is Neil Armstrong with his masonic apron supposedly on the moon.
Symbolism is the language of the occult!
Many would argue that a significant tactic of the enemy is to desensitise the population to occult symbolism via psychological conditioning as the 70th week of Daniel approaches. The argument that the significance of occult symbolism is the domain of conspiracy theorists is Prasch's attempt to downplay the seriousness of the situation. Conspiracy theories fail to be theories when they can be proved as fact. There may be exceptions, but when companies and celebrities display the number 666 and other satanic symbols it is usually deliberate, the CERN logo is an example of this. The satanic invasion is not limited to company logos; satanic rituals are ubiquitous within the entertainment industry as many of us have observed with great concern. Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Prince, Billy Joel, Bono and many others have publicly admitted making a pace with Satan in order to obtain fame and fortune. The occult symbolism surrounding Super Bowl and various celebrities has been exposed by Joe Schimmel of Good Fight Ministries among others: They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnl7Rgwa08w When the mark of the beast does come it will not be resisted by those who come under the influence of the great delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:11). The great delusion will not happen in a vacuum, the battle is now on to ensure that many people are uninformed and unprepared for the Antichrist. To use a Praschism, they will be "ignorant". My warnings about Jacob Prasch are based on serious concerns that he is a very dangerous false teacher. Why is Prasch so virulent against those who reject the star of David, and why does he downplay the obvious satanic invasion of our time? Some of the things he teaches are valid of course, but the appearance of credibility demands there has to be some truth in the mix. The unclean always defiles that which is clean, a little leaven leavens the whole lump. (Galatians 5:9). Perhaps Prasch would be more at home at NASA rather than in Christian ministry!
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. (1 John 5:19).
