Another Hexagram

A hexagram appears on David Edwards’ Mystical Cube

 Copyright: David Edwards, who wrote to me:

The photo is of a carving I made when I was involved with the Order of the Cubic Stone, a teaching esoteric group I helped found in the 1960s. Each side portrays 1 of the elements with the hexagram on top representing in this instance spirit. We used a full size altar in a similar style to this, but on a base. The actual cube in the photo has each size approximately 2" long.

The name hexagram seems unsuccessful because it can be applied not only to the six-pointed star but also to the cube, which is also a drawing (“gram” in Greek) of six (“hex” in Greek).

Fiery Water

From Wikipedia entry “Fire (classical element)” uploaded by Bryan Derksen

 In alchemy the triangle that points up is the symbol of fire while the triangle that points down is the symbol of water 

From Wikipedia entry “water (classical element)” uploaded by Bryan Derksen

Fire and water (needless to say) are opposites. In the hexagram they interpenetrate and together they represent the unity of the opposites or (in alchemy)- the fiery water -that’s why hexagrams were drawn on the signs above shops that sold brandy until about hundred years ago. 

Plinius explained the word "pyramid" as coming from the Greek root PYR (Fire). Pyramid is comprised from triangles pointing up to the sun.

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 9^th 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)
