The Star Of Remphan
Stephen, at the time of his death – before he was martyred, mentioned Remphan as the subject of idolatrous worship. In the new testament (Acts 7 vs. 43 – 54), he condemned the idolatry behavior that the jews had taken upon themselves. Even though there are wide variations of the name – such as Molech, they are all referring to the same God.
Stephen had been taken to answer the charges leveled against him before the Sanhedrin – he was caught teaching people what God had said about the temple being destroyed, and how the laws of Moses had changed. He was going through how the children of Israel had sinned and backslid from the original promises given to Abraham (Acts 7 vs. 2 – 8), and adding to their transgressing of the law; they had become idolaters.
