THE STAR OF DAVID



HE is the Hope of Israel at all times. Bearing this Star the Beloved of GOD were counted as sheep for slaughter.

Bileam prophesied about Him: “I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not nigh: There treads forth a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter rises out of Israel, and He shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult. And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, — they, His enemies; but Israel will do valiantly. And One out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remains”. (Num. 24:17-19). Here we see the “Star out of Jacob” paralleled by the “Scepter out of Israel .” What star is this? Is it Sirius, or one of the planets?

The inspired Word of GOD gives us the answer in the Revelation of Yeshua Mashiach 2:26-28 and 22:16 . In both scriptures you again see the Scepter and the Star together: “I Yeshua have sent My angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star” (Rev. 22:16). HE is the Star out of Jacob.

To see the real meaning of the Star of David, let us now examine the numerical values of this first quotation: “there treads forth a Star out of Jacob” (Num. 24:17). (For the gematria of this passage, see the section under Gematria.)

 

The rays of the Star of David are numbered,

and here you see their meanings:

 

1.   N 494  = 26*19  the Lamb of the LORD slaughtered for our transgressions.

He is  494 (9 light, 4 world) the Light of the World.

“He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, but He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and was as a sheep dumb before her shearers, yea, He opened not His mouth. He was taken from oppression and from judgment; and who shall declare His generation? for He was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was He stricken” (Isaiah 53:7-8).

“The chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Yeshua, so that they might put Him to death. And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward and said, He said, I am able to destroy the temple of God , and in three days build it. And the high priest standing up said to Him, do You make no answer? What do these witness against You? But Yeshua was silent. And the high priest answering said to Him, I adjure You by the living God that you tell us if You are the Mashiach the Son of God. Yeshua says to him, You have said it. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy. What think you? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death. Then they spit in His face, and buffeted Him, and some struck Him with the palms of their hand, saying, Prophesy to us, Mashiach, Who is it who struck You?” (Mat. 26:59-68).

 

2.   P 125 = 53  in His mercy He has redeemed us to GOD by His own blood.

He prayed on the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!” (Luke 23:33-35).

He was sold by us for 30 shekels of silver (the lowest price which had to be paid when a slave had been gored to death by accident, Exo. 21:32 ) — “and YHWH said unto me, Cast it to the potter: the GLORIOUS PRICE THAT I WAS PRIZED AT by them” (Zech. 11:13 ; Mat. 26:14-16; 27:3-10).

He is our Passover Lamb, slaughtered on the 14th of Abib, who has purchased us to GOD with His own blood. And GOD speaks: “When I see the blood I will Pass Over you” (Ex. 12:13 ). “I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more” (Jer. 31:34; 50:20).

“Men appointed His grave with the wicked” (Isa. 53:9; Mat. 26:57-61) — BUT

 

3.   R 369 = 32*41  GOD justified Him in the Spirit, raising Him from the grave, as HE has promised: “for You will not leave my soul to Sheol, neither will You allow Your Holy One(s) to see corruption” (Psalm 16:10 ).

The Right Hand of YHWH does valiantly; the Right Hand of YHWH is exalted, the Right Hand of YHWH does valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah. Jah has chastened me sore; but He has not given me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise. ― The Stone which the builders rejected has become the Head of the Corner [chief Corner Stone of the true temple of GOD]; this is of YHWH; it is wonderful in our eyes” (Ps. 118:15-23).

“YHWH kills, and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol, and brings up” (1 Sam. 2:6). “I lift up My hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!” (Deut. 32:40).

“Yeshua said: “I Am the Resurrection and the Life: he who believes on Me, though he have died, shall live; and every one who lives and believes on Me shall never die” (John 11:25 ).

 

4.   S 619  the Lamb that was slaughtered is LORD.

“Psalm of David. YHWH said unto my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I put your enemies as footstool for Your feet” (Psalm 110:1).

“And every tongue shall confess that Yeshua Mashiach is Lord to GOD the Father's glory” P 619 Phil. 2:11 ).

“Him GOD has set forth a Mercy Seat, through faith in His blood” N 6190 (Rom. 3:25 ).

So you see the first 4 rays of the Star of David describe the Son of David crucified (P ¬ N and R ­ S). The next 4 rays now portray Israel as the bride of the LORD, crucified with him (— just as you see “Israel” crucified in Gen. 1:30-2:3 in Bible Code with the ELS of –50 and +7, growing up from the Shabbath):

 

5.   N• 504  “a Blood-Bridegroom indeed are You to me!”  (Ex. 4:25).

“They pierced My hands and My feet” N 504 (Psalm 22:16 ).

With His Blood He purchased you to be “My sister-bride” N• 504 Song of Songs 4:9.

Now this Ruth belongs to “the tabernacle of David” N 504 Amos 9:11. For she is 504 = 2*6*6*7 out of the Lion of Judah (cf. Judges 14:8).

 “YHWH hath appeared from afar unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you” (Jer. 31:3).

“And I will betroth you to Me for ever; and I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies; and I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness: and you shall know YHWH” (Hosea 2:19 -20).

“And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed, Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed, Desolate: but you shall be called, My delight is in her, and your land, Married; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, shall your Creator marry you; and with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, shall your God rejoice over you” (Is. 62:3-5).

 

6.   P• 135 = 33*5  a well-spring of redemption by His blood.

He is “the Fountain of Living Waters” N 504 P135 (Jer. 2:13 ), cf. John 19:34: “one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.” “They pierced My hands and My feet” N 504 (Psalm 22:16 ).

See, how the Rock was smitten to give us Living Water, Ex. 17:1-7, and again Num. 20:1-11.

“In that day there shall be a Fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness” (Zech. 13:1).

“They have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Rev. 7:14).

“And I will purge them from the blood from which I had not purged them: for YHWH dwells in Zion ” (Joel 3:21 ).

(Divine wisdom: Hebrews 9:13-14; Num. 19.)

 

7.   R• 369 = 32*41  our Savior justifies us before GOD.

This is the ray from the back of the star towards GOD. Now the Face of GOD shines upon you.

“Abraham believed the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness” (Gen. 15:6).

“Only in YHWH are righteousness and strength. ― In YHWH all the offspring of Israel will be justified, and will glory” (Is. 45:24-25).

The LORD declares: “I will raise up for David a righteous Branch. ― And this is His Name by which He will be called, YHWH our Righteousness” (Jer. 23:5-6). “By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, and He will bear their iniquities” (Is. 53:11).

“For GOD is one, and the Mediator of GOD and men one, the Man Mashiach Yeshua, who gave Himself a Ransom for all” (1 Tim. 2:5-6). Mashiach is the Mediator Elihu spoke about, Job 33:23-24. For He is our Passover Lamb.

Do you think that GOD gives His only Son to suffer and die such a cruel death upon the cross in your and my stead ― if there is a cheaper way of salvation? There is NO other way, but KISS THE SON! Psalm 2:12 , 7.

And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12 ).

Now comes the ray from the center of the Star of David shining into your heart:

 

8.   S• 639 = 32*71  the Holy One of Israel sanctifying Israel

Yeshua spoke to GOD, “And I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified in Truth” P 639 (John 17:19 ).

“I am YHWH who sanctifies you” (Ex. 31:13). This holy Name of the LORD stands in the midst of the holy Shabbath command, like the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden of GOD . It is “the Fountain of Living Waters” S 639 watering the garden.

Yeshua ha-Mashiach R 639 and Yeshua Mashiach” R 639

“[And the city (New Jerusalem) has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it;] for the glory of GOD has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb” P 639 (Rev. 21:23).

“YHWH is my Light and my Salvation” N 639 Ps. 27:1).

In His Name the army of Israel goes forward from victory to victory as we praise him for His victory.

Then “El fights,” which is the real meaning of “ Israel .”

Look up to Him: praise His Name. Under His blood no enemy can harm you! (Rev. 12:11). “Who is she that looks forth as the dawn, beautiful as the moon, pure as the sun, terrible as troops with banners?” (Song of Songs 6:10).

But what do the beautiful broad blue ribbons above and below the Star mean? Of course, the heavenly blue ribbon above the Star of David describes the eternal faithfulness of GOD to His covenant with Israel ; and the ribbon below the Star means that also we shall be faithful to Him. On this mutual covenant of faithfulness the whole covenant of the LORD with Israel is built: “You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, and how I have borne you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. And now, if you will hearken to My voice indeed and keep My covenant, then shall you be My own possession out of all the peoples — for all the earth is Mine — and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. . . . And all the people answered together, and said, All that YHWH has spoken will we do!” (Ex. 19:4-8).

And the white background is the purity of heart. Behold truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile our Lord Yeshua spoke about Nathanael – and this is the heart of a true Jew. Else there is nothing to it!
