1794 Micrography & Geometry

This is one of the most exiting Stars of David I’ve ever seen. 

It is made from micrographic Hebrew letters of verses from The Song of Songs by Baruch Ben Shmariahu (Shir_Brest_1794). In addition, It expresses the tight connection of the six-pointed star to geometry.

Micrography is a unique Jewish art which has been developed in Tiberias in the 9th century C.E

Hourglasses

Michael Espiritu from the Philippines sent me the following Star of David interpretation:

There are two hourglasses X X in star of David. The Cross of Christ is an ARROW pointing 12 of the clock. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are clock arrows become "one" at 12:00 o'clock. So, the two hourglasses have both 12 hour time spans which illustrate below. X X is also 88, number of constellations and also 4 whirling wheels in Ezekiel 10:13. If you add numbers from top to bottom or from left to right the sum will be 14 only. The number 14 refers to 14 generations of Israel in Matthew 1:17

Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

The 12 hour in "AM" are divided in to two, 6 hour darkness (12:00AM to 6:00AM) and 6 hour in light (6:00AM to 12:00PM)
The main direction of star of David is UP and DOWN, so, if you add 1 and 6; 2 and 5; 3 and 4 the sum is 7 which is number of God.
  
1+2+3+4+5+6=21x4=84.
In Luke 10:1 sometimes 72 others. 72 others plus 12 original equals 84 apostles.
84/12=7 (7years/1week of years)
21x2=42/12=3.5 (3 1/2 years)

Checkered. There are four imaginary star of David. Look at the two clockwised numbers; 1, 3 and 5 of AM have triangle that points up; 1, 3 and 5 of PM have triangle that points down. Darkness of AM and PM are different.
Cross is an addition sign.

Below, if you add numbers from top to bottom or from left to right, the sum is always "10" even when each group revolved clockwise and counter clockwise.


10+10+10+10=40

Here's how "10" relates to star of David:


1 Kings 11:35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
Note:

Dr. Asher Eder told me that the Gematria for 14 is David (dalet=4 +vav=6 + dalet =4)

The Martinist Hexagram

Illustration of The Martinist Hexagram is copied from Wikipedia entry Martinism

Martinism is a sort of mystical Christianity, which was founded in the 18th Century in France by Gerard Encausse.

The Hexagram represents the Old Testament, the cross - the New Testament, and the circle represents the gnostic Ouroborus, the serpent which swallows its own tail.

Bulgarian hexagrams

Hexagrams appear on Bulgarian postage stamps issued in 1993. Based on the context it seems that they represent the planets or the stars.
