THE AMAZING HEXAGON

A hexagon is special due to its unique geometric properties and its frequent occurrence in nature. Here are some key aspects:

Efficient Space Utilization: Hexagons are highly efficient in packing space, leaving no wasted gaps. This makes them ideal for structures like honeycombs, where bees minimize the use of wax while maximizing storage space. Hexagons are also seen in the design of space technology, such as the hexagonal mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope, which are optimized for precision and compactness.

Structural Strength: The hexagon's six sides and angles provide significant structural stability, making it one of the strongest shapes for construction and design.

Mathematical Properties: A regular hexagon has six equal sides and angles, with internal angles summing to 720 degrees. It can be divided into six equilateral triangles, and it has six lines of symmetry. See what happens when the triangles are on the outside! You get an iconic symbol of Israel.  

The Star of David has seven internal compartments (six triangles and one hexagon).

Natural Occurrence: 

Hexagons appear in various natural phenomena, such as basalt columns, snowflakes. When lava cools and crystallizes, it often forms hexagonal columns. 

Hexagons play a significant role in the structure and function of cells in the human body, often reflecting nature’s efficiency and precision. Here are some key examples:

• Red Blood Cells The membrane skeleton of red blood cells is composed of a network of roughly 33,000 protein hexagons, resembling a microscopic geodesic dome. This hexagonal lattice provides the cell with its remarkable flexibility, enabling it to deform and squeeze through narrow capillaries while maintaining structural integrity.
• Brain Grid Cells: In the brain, grid cells form hexagonal patterns that help in spatial navigation and memory. These hexagonal structures are fundamental to the brain’s ability to map and navigate environments.

Symbolic Significance: In "sacred geometry," hexagons represent harmony and balance, often seen in ancient symbols and structures. This geometric shape has intrigued spiritual seekers, not to mention artists and scientists, for centuries.

In Judaism, the hexagon is associated with the Star of David. The Magan (Shield) of David is a symbol of strength!

It is created from the overlapping and interlocking of two triangles which form a six sided Hexagon. 

The six points linked to the six directions (north, south, east, west, up, down) symbolizes the omnipresence and protection of Hashem. 

Kabbalah's sacred Tree of Life, associated to Jacob’s Ladder, has a hexagon nature. It is constructed on the 22 Hebrew letters. At the center is Tiferet, Glory! At the top is Keter, crown. Above the Keter is the Ein Sof, the "unending" or "Infinite. "

All these properties make hexagons a fundamental shape in both natural and human-made designs. 

The hexagon is a shape that pre-dates man. Surely it is a design of Elohim.  The Strength of Israel is symbolized by a shape that is in the blood and in the brain. 

Once you see the hexagon in the (Shield) of David, you will never see it the same again

THE ULTIMATE IRONY

During the Holocaust, the Nazis required Jews to wear a "Jude Star" on the outside of their clothes. It was Hitler's way to identify, humiliate and "other" the Jews. Little did Hitler realize the great irony of this act intended for evil. 

As terrible as the Holocaust was, the fact is that today the Nazi party and government are ruined, but Jews and Israel lives. Six million Jews were murdered, and yet Jews are stronger today than ever in history. 

What was the "strength" that kept the Jews alive? I say it is the strength of the One who created the Hexagon. It is the Shield of David. The God of Israel.

The Nazis meant the "Jude Star" for evil. They meant to destroy Jewish DNA and literally to wipe Jewish ✡️ blood off the face of the earth. "But God."

Ironically, the "Jude Star" is a museum piece and the Shield of David flies on the flag of Israel and is worn around the necks of Jews all over the world. 

Genesis 50:20 -- As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.
