Just throwing something in here because I dug into this for a while some years ago:
The "star of Remphan" may be a mistranslation. There is literally no "Remphan" anywhere else in the Bible or in ancient literature.
Recent alternate attempts to re-visit the Hebrew produces the name of the god 'Ninurta.' That means the text likely refers to the eight-pointed star of Ninurta, who was a more well-known ancient pagan god in the middle east at the time the verse was written. I would recommend Doug Hamp's research into the subject.
That being said, yes: the occult has all kind of geometric patterns and meaning in their symbology. Connections between the six-pointed polygon, the black cube, and other symbols may indeed be entirely legitimate. So I'm not trying to bash the connections being highlighted in this post.
I'm just pointing out that the identification of the "Star of David" as synonymous with the "Star of Remphan" has always been an assumption - but they may not ctually be the same thing.
Just being a stickler on Bible research. The truth matters.
