All of the major religions evolved from deep streams of wisdom lineages. They also all have a lot of spin on their teachings mostly for survival reasons and sometimes by an abuse of power of those steering the "ship" at some time or other in the history of the religion. This is all in a great change right now as we are entering a new epoch in human history.
The ancients used the astronomy of a Geocentric worldview to actually understand the nature of the soul realm, the "spirit worlds"(5-D) in relationship to the 4-D realm of space-time. So the five visible planets and the sun and moon(the "lights") are aligned to seven realms or "heavens" within the dimension of soul(being) in the ancient framework. So these images here show how the visible planets and the lights are expressed in two of the most important symbols of the Jewish religion, the menorah and the star of David. These simple glyphs have a lot of profound depth to them when studied along with the dimensional grids called kameas or magic squares that the ancient peoples all attached to these planetary heavens that surround the Earth globe like layers of an onion(see image adapted from a book cover by Gershom Sholem).

The numbers on the Mogen David all are derived from the magic squares and they also correspond to certain divine names in Hebrew where the letters are also numbers. I am just using these here to explain how the entire Earth has become the new temple that many Jews around the world pray for daily. Some expect a new building although some important ancient Jewish sages have told us that this third temple would not be a building like the first two temples were. It would be an eternal indestructible edifice that helps in bringing Peace to the entire world. Each of the "planets" in these images represent a special place or "office" of initiation so to speak as well as carrying certain qualities.

Now some ancient people like the Christian Gnostics used the special planetary numbers taken from the grids in their writings and the misinterpretation of these continues for many centuries and spreads confusion. The total value of the solar/Sun grid of the numbers one through thirty six equals "666" and represents emanative power of dominion as in the powerful noon day sun. But each of these "stations" are mitigated and attached to the others so the quality of wisdom which is connected with the Saturn grid, it's "heaven" and station may be aligned with the Sun quality and it it yields the "Dominion of Wisdom". Jews do this alignment in the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot every year in the counting of the omer. Each of the seven sephirot/spheres are also aligned with the planetary heavens. These are contemplated in their midot or emotional quality each with another so you have the steps of initiation of 7X7=49 days. What the Gnostics in their book of Revelation were speaking of as the place of initiation of the "666"(chapter 13) is actually what Jews call the Tikun or repair of the world so that the urge to this central emanation solar power(Theron=wild animal-mistranslated as "beast") is mitigated by the Graceful Peace brought by the Moon lineages. This is why I have replaced here the MOON in the central place and in a way a softening of the solar light with the divine qualities of all the other heavenly spheres through the intermediary of the lunar light. These other qualities include; Grace,Peace,Wisdom,Fecundity,Wealth,and Beauty.
Part of the misinterpretation and confusion of these sacred numbers and "offices" is built by a false teaching within the fundamentalist branches of the religions that a truly evil devil, or supernatural being exists and is in competition with the one good God of love. Yes there is "evil" in the world but this is all dependent on the evil inclination or imbalance of love and desire urges in each human individual.
Part of this change being expressed here on a global planetary level is to make it easier for each of us as individuals to evolve out of that place of imbalance that cause us to wish to hurt others, this sacred Earth and other living creatures around us.
The interesting fact is that all the religions following either solar or lunar calendars and others calendars have played a vital role in bringing about this Tikun, this change in the dynamics and workings of the bigger realm of Time/Space/Soul. It appears that we are simultaneously experiencing both the breaking apart of the false premises and paths that keep a few people wanting to dominate and control others. This is happening along with the evolving of a new world where individual freedom is protected and honored. We pray for Peace!
