The flag of the modern state of Israel Pt. 1

The House of Rothschild 
was the moving force, both politically and financially, behind the original Zionist movement of Jews back to the land of Israel. Rothschild, began the Zionist Movement in 1896, funded the agitation through 1948 to get Israel re-established back in the land, and has owned the leadership of Israel up to the current day. To see the reality of this fact, you only need to examine Israel's flag. The hexagram is The Illuminist symbol for Israel, while the menorah is the true symbol of the Jewish religion.

Listen to Dr. O.J. Graham in a News Alert for July 24, 2007 with Cutting Edge Ministries:

"The quest began at York University, Ontario, Canada, when an Orthodox Jewish friend of mine was investigating Messianic Judaism ...

" '... the Star of David is not Jewish". (Orthodox Jew)

" 'Well, is it Jewish, Judaism, or Zionism?', I smiled." (Dr. Graham speaking)

" 'Not my brand of Judaism. We use the Menorah.' (Orthodox Jew replied)"

Can this be true? Is it possible that God's mandated Menorah is the real symbol for Ancient Israel, and not the "Star of David"?


How about Wikipedia :

"The menorah (Hebrew: ?????), is a seven branched candelabrum lit by olive oil in the Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem. The menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish people. It is said to symbolize the burning bush as seen by Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25). "

Not satisfied? Listen to other sources:

"The Menorah has served as a uniquely Jewish symbol from antiquity to contemporary times. The Menorah can be found on ancient coins, gravestones, synagogue decorations. Today the Menorah serves as the seal and emblem of the Jewish State of Israel." ("About Judaism", http://judaism.about.com/cs/hanukkah/f/Menorah.htm )

Did you catch that pertinent quote? The Menorah was the symbol of Judaism "from antiquity to contemporary times".

The menorah which appears on the emblem of the State of Israel was copied from the relief carved into the Arch of Titus in Rome, where it had once stood for the suppression of the Jewish Revolt, the conquest of Jerusalem, and the destruction of the Temple. In this context, the symbol of the menorah expresses the thesis and antithesis of Jewish history." ("The Seventh-Branched Menorah: An Evolving Jewish Symbol", by Ida Huberman)

"The menorah was the most important symbol of the Temple after the Ark of the Covenant. The image of the biblical menorah is the symbol of the modern state of Israel." ("Israel seeks return of Temple artifacts", World Net Daily, January 16, 2004)

"One of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith is the menorah, a seven-branched candelabrum used in the Temple." ("Jewish Symbols: The Menorah", Doing Judaism - http://www.doingzionism.org.il/resources/view.asp?id=48)

"The menorah is the official symbol of the Jewish nation." ("The history of the menorah", Jewish-Art.org, http://www.jewish-art.org/menorah.html )

"The national emblem of the State of Israel includes a seven branched-candelabrum, called Menorah, flanked by two olive branches." ("Menorah - Emblem of the State of Israel", (Israel Science and Technology, "Menorah - Emblem of the State of Israel", http://www.science.co.il/Israel-Emblem.asp )

"The menorah is a seven-branched candelabra often seen on Jewish tombstones, especially those of women. The menorah is one of the oldest symbols of Judaism." ("Cemeteries and Cemetery Symbols", http://cemeteries.wordpress.com/2006/09/18/menorah/ )

"The seven-branched menorah's presence in the Holy Temple had been commanded in the Torah (the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament) ... Over the years, the menorah has evolved to represent more than a candelabra. It has become a symbol of Judaism, and is even used on some Israeli coins."
