I hung the star from the rear view mirror of my truck, and I believe this was a way for me to signal my “virtue,” thinking “look people I’m on the right side of the story here, I support God’s people." I have since removed it.Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647482025-01-24 Sabine Smit on The Star of David: A Better Perspective...Praise the Lord for making it known!Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647472025-01-24 Sabine Smit on The Star of David: A Better Perspective...What a wonderful orchestration and confirmation! The Lord couldn't have made it more clear. Thank you for sharing!Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647462025-01-24 Sabine Smit on The Star of David: A Better Perspective...After reading your post Victor, I considered because I have the Israeli flag up as my facebook profile picture. I didn't want to just take it down sycophantically, although obviously I would have taken it down. Thinking about it, I realized that flag has nothing to do with the Jerusalem from above, but it is the Jerusalem from beneath. Reading Martin's message makes that perfectly clear.Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647452025-01-24 Martin VanPopta on The Star of David: A Better Perspective...Hello! Victor and I have both talked about the "Star of David" actually being the Star of Remphan on several occasions over the years, wondering what to think or do about it. Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. I had just finished reading the Scripture in Amos condemning the Star of Remphan the morning before visiting you. That night, I was subject to all kind of thought wanderings, as is often the case. For some reason, I felt very strongly that I needed to tell you that I believed the board needed to be burned. You had always been up in the air about it, not having a conviction one way or the other. I had also been undecided. UNTIL that night before I visited you, when I was overwhelmed by the conviction to destroy it. It felt like I needed to drive out to your place immediately and make it happen. It was a very passionate experience. It felt like I needed to share my conviction with you, immediately, or I'd be guilty of withholding a message from God. I wrestled with it, because my thoughts in the night can be so strong, aimless, and unstable. The troubling was like this. I thought, "if I tell Victor what I think, it will only trouble him. If he agrees with me, he'll be troubled, wondering if he just being persuaded by man. If he doesn't agree, he'll wonder if he's ignoring a message from God." I knew that I was obligated to deliver a message from the Lord regardless of how Victor would react, and yet, isn't part of submission to Victor considering my expression and how it affects him? Was I even hearing from the Lord, or was I just half asleep and delusional? It was a great turmoil, and then after what seemed an hour or more of conflict in the half-sleeping state, I finally committed myself to saying nothing. I came to believe that if it was the Lord turning my heart to destroy the board, that He would give that same conviction to Victor, independently. With that belief, I fell asleep immediately. When I awoke, it all seemed so far away again. I thought, "What was that all about? Why was I so troubled?" I didn't seem so big anymore, and I stuck with my conviction to remain silent until the Lord gave a witness. Then, that very day, at the end of our visit, moments before heading home with some odds and ends you were parting with, you said, "I've got one more thing for you to get rid of for me," and you gave me instruction to destroy the Star of David that Paul Beiler had crafted for you. I laughed, marveling at how quickly the Lord confirmed my conclusion. I wasn't surprised. It was very much the same amused joy I experienced when I red your writings for the first time. It was more like an "of course it would happen this way and even the very next day" sort of reaction. As for not flying the flag here at the farm, it was mostly the logistics of it that prevented me from doing it. Not any kind of conviction. We were very busy in the early years and flying the flag didn't just require putting it up and then down at the end of the day. It required constant attention in case the wind came up strong, because it would tear the flag to pieces with our strong winds. Sean had been responsible for it, though he wasn't very responsible. He often left it up in the wind out of neglect. After Sean left, it was impossible for me or James to be running back every time it got windy, so I stopped flying it. Years later, when the guys came to live here, they gave a shot at taking care of it. It went up one or twice before a strong wind came up out of nowhere and tore it to shreds. It was a fairly worn out flag and it didn't take much. None of us had the conviction to source and fly a new flag. It wasn't my conviction or will for any length of time to get rid of the Star of Remphan. I had only ever wondered about it, as you had. It had only been my resolute conviction for about 18 hours before you told me to destroy it. Clearly, the Lord arranged the circumstance, including giving Paul to create such a fine piece of craftsmanship. It's all appointed, timed, and very significant. I don't believe this event is about being fearful of "pagan imagery" and putting away a star, which is just a geometrical object. This is about the pagan nation of Israel. This is about Israel being judged and cleansed. This is about Israel identifying with her Redeemer instead of her defiler. The old thing must make way for the New!Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647442025-01-20 Victor Hafichuk on The Star of David: A Better Perspective...By Martin's will, we haven't been flying the flag for years now.Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647432025-01-20 Nicholas Carpenter on The Star of David: A Better Perspective...I wonder if you'd stop flying the flag as well. I think the difference between flying Israel's flag and the board is that the flag is an obvious and undeniable statement of solidarity while the board seems to be a more casual thing that could be easily misinterpreted. In other words, we don't need and shouldnt have fancy stuff that risk being spiritually problematic.Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647422025-01-20 Victor Hafichuk on The Star of David: A Better Perspective...Paul Beiler, a carpentry craftsman in Pennsylvania sent us a finely crafted board formed as a flag with the "Star of David" design. He understood that we supported using the symbol as we flew the Israeli flag at our Harvest Haven farm in solidarity with Israel, as mentioned in this article. We thankfully received it. However, there has been some controversy because the symbol is identified with the Star of Remphan, a heathen deity as mentioned in the Book of Acts. Despite the arguments I've given in support of the innocent and meaningful use of the flag to glorify God and His creation, justified or otherwise, I've decided to destroy Paul's gift and answer Paul's subsequent question: "Is there anything on this TPOT article (The Star of David - The Path of Truth) that you would put differently today?" I'll answer with these words from the apostle Paul: 13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and mutual upbuilding. 20 Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble. 22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin (Romans 14:13-23 ESV) And: "Therefore, if meat makes my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest I make my brother to offend" (1 Corinthians 8:13 ESV). Comments and questions?Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/israel/starofdavid.htm#comment-647412025-01-13 Stephanie Reinke on Forgiveness...I read these papers and am amazed that there aren't any comments. Why not? I ask myself why I haven't commented on the Papers that have helped me. Doesn't it stab anyone else in the heart the need to say something to Victor for writing these? Maybe because people don't want to admit they are bitter and need to forgive. That has been me here the last couple of years as I am becoming aware of recently. I have red this in the past but not understanding it as much as I do today. Thank you Lord, Thank you Victor for writing these.Comment link: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/forgiveness-antidote-to-bitterness.htm#comment-64740
