Page 69 - Attractive Deception - The False Hope of the Hebrew Roots Movement

following excerpt is taken from the website of a Brewing Museum. It is often astonishing to find that
those outside of Christianity frequently have more knowledge of the symbols Christians embrace
than those who profess to be disciples of Yahshua.

The 6 pointed Brewer’s star’s, identical to the Jewish Star of David, actually has its roots in
alchemy.

Enclosed below is a diagram by Hans Kestler, former Huber Brewery brewmaster, illustrating the
component parts of the brewers star, as related to brewing and alchemy. These elements include
Fire, the masculine element of action and determination, portrayed by a triangle facing the heavens.
The masculine element of air which deals with communication and intelligence is also a triangle,
facing upward, but with a horizontal line symbolizing the clouds at the top of the mountain.

These two elements are ascending and are governed by the principal of levity. The feminine element

In alchemy, the two triangles represent the reconciliation of the opposites of fire and water.
Non-Jewish Kabbalah (also called Christian or Hermetic Kabbalah) interprets the hexagram to
mean the divine union of male and female energy, where the male is represented by the upper
triangle (referred to as the "blade") and the female by the lower one (referred to as the "chalice")...

The Six Point Star, can be drawn two different ways, as an upside-down triangle overlapping an
upright triangle or as one continuous line that angles to create six points (credited to Aleister
Crowley). In the first example, when used in alchemy, the upright triangle represents fire, the
upside-down triangle is the symbol for water, and together they symbolize the unity of opposites.

Although the pentagram is widely recognized as the symbol of witchcraft, the hexagram is actually
