The original Greek word used in Acts 7:43 is Ῥεμφάν - meaning Rhemphan. Later on this would become the mythology known as Saturn.

Most images I found in relation, SEEM to be equivalent to the Star of David.

What's your point? We can find different origins to symbols very easily. The adaptation for use in other religions means only that man was borrowing from earlier myths and ideologies . . . Such is the way of ALL religion. What about the Christian Cross?

Not really the same thing, but when I was working in Bangalore, the reception desk in the block where my offices were situated had a swastika painted on the wall behind. A "good luck" sign in some Indian traditions.

Given your other question, you can search with this phrase:  Image of the star of remphan/chiun

And while you can cross-reference Acts 7:43, you might want to start with Amos 5:26

1. The star was mentioned and condemned by the God of Israel in Amos 5:26 and it was called by Him,`the star of your god, Moloch' or otherwise called`Chiun'. Reference to Amos 5:26 and the Israelites having it in the wilderness was also made in Acts 7:43. Here it was called the Star of Remphan. All these names refer to the `god' Saturn.

2. The foregoing verifies that it was therefore in existence long before the time of Solomon. He took this symbol upon himself when he went into idolatry, and it became known as the `Seal of Solomon' in Arabic magic and witchcraft.

3. There was no usage of it in Jewish circles until the 17th century when the cabalist, Isaac Luria, introduced it in Germany.
