Do the prophets teach that it has existed since the time of Adam?
The hexagram appears occasionally in Jewish contexts since antiquity as a decorative motif, such as a stone bearing a hexagram from the arch of the 3rd–4th century Khirbet Shura synagogue.
A hexagram found in a religious context can be seen in a manuscript of the Hebrew Bible from 11th-century Cairo.
Wikipedia does not have a correct explanation for this origin, due to sacred and limited knowledge.
The symbol of the hexagram, the emblem of the Levites of Urimut and Nammim, has been around since the time of ancient Israel.
The pentagram represents the priesthood, and the hexagram is the emblem of the tribe of Levi.
The hexagram called the Star of David are the Urim and Thummim, the emblem of the tribe of Levi.
Urim and Thummim is Instruments prepared by God to assist man in obtaining revelation and in translating languages.
In the Hebrew language the words mean “light and perfect.”
The Urim and Thummim consist of two stones set in silver bows and sometimes used with a breastplate (D&C 17:1; JS—H 1:35, 42, 52).
This earth will become a great Urim and Thummim in its sanctified and immortal state (D&C 130:6–9).
Joseph's brother William saw a breastplate with cloth-covered ulim and thommim, which he described as being very large.
Joseph Smith's mother, Lucy Mack Smith, said that the breastplates to which the ulim and thommim were attached were huge for the size of modern human breastplates.
The Jaredites have a large body of people.
Doctrine and Covenants 17
1 Behold, I say unto you, that you must rely upon my word, which if you do with full purpose of heart, you shall have a view of the plates, and also of the breastplate, the sword of Laban, the Urim and Thummim, which were given to the brother of Jared upon the mount, when he talked with the Lord face to face, and the miraculous directors which were given to Lehi while in the wilderness, on the borders of the Red Sea.
Joseph Smith—History 1
51 Convenient to the village of Manchester, Ontario county, New York, stands a hill of considerable size, and the most elevated of any in the neighborhood. On the west side of this hill, not far from the top, under a stone of considerable size, lay the plates, deposited in a stone box. This stone was thick and rounding in the middle on the upper side, and thinner towards the edges, so that the middle part of it was visible above the ground, but the edge all around was covered with earth.
52 Having removed the earth, I obtained a lever, which I got fixed under the edge of the stone, and with a little exertion raised it up. I looked in, and there indeed did I behold the plates, the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate, as stated by the messenger. The box in which they lay was formed by laying stones together in some kind of cement. In the bottom of the box were laid two stones crossways of the box, and on these stones lay the plates and the other things with them.
Gold masks with triangles placed on the eyelids were found in the ancient city of Monte Albán, Oaxaca, Mexico.
The Hebrew name for David is "דוד," which is why it is called the Star of David.
In ancient Hebrew and Phoenician scripts, the "ד" of David was a "△", which originally formed a triangle.
The Greek word that succeeded it is also "△".
Thus, the Hebrew "דוד" meaning David is "△ + △.
The "ו" in "דוד" is used as a conjunction of "AND" in English and "&" in symbols.
If you combine the two "△" up and down, you get "△ + ▽", which is the "Star of David".
Upward-facing triangles mean the beginning and downward-facing triangles mean the end.
3 Nephi 9
18 I am the light and the life of the world. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
Alpha is the first letter in the Greek alphabet; Omega is the last.
They are also names given to Jesus Christ and are used as symbols to show that Christ is both the beginning and the end (Rev. 1:8; D&C 19:1).
Urim and Thummim mean "light and perfect" in Hebrew, with light written אורים and perfect written תומים, with the initials aleph (א) and tau (ת).
Abraham 4
3 And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light; and there was light.
4 And they (the Gods) comprehended the light, for it was bright; and they divided the light, or caused it to be divided, from the darkness.
5 And the Gods called the light Day, and the darkness they called Night. And it came to pass that from the evening until morning they called night; and from the morning until the evening they called day; and this was the first, or the beginning, of that which they called day and night.
In "Let there be light," light refers to Jehovah as well as the light of Christ.
In the beginning of creation, there was first the light of Christ, which also implies the calling of Jehovah as Creator. (Alma 38:9, 3 Nephi 9:18)
It was also the beginning and the end, and like the sacrificial heifer of the Old Testament sacrifices, He was crucified on the T-shaped cross as a sacrifice to atone for the sins of the world.
Alpha is derived from the Phoenician letter aleph, which is the West Semitic word for "ox".
The last letter, tau (ת), is the English letter T.
Thus, we can interpret the first letter as the light and the beginning, meaning the heifer, and the last letter as the perfect end, meaning the T-shaped cross.
Jesus Christ made atonement, died and rose again.
Jesus Christ is perfect.

The Octagram has been found in temples, altars, etc. since ancient times.
In Kabbalah, the number "8" represents Jesus Christ.
The angle of the Octagram representing Jesus Christ is 90 degrees, the angle of a right angle ruler at the angle of the Freemasonry symbol.
The angle of the pentagram representing the priesthood is 36 degrees, the angle of the compass in the symbol of Freemasonry.
One of the symbols of Freemasonry is also the compass and right angle ruler.
The compass represents an upward triangle and the right angle ruler a downward triangle, forming the Star of David, the Urim and Thummim.
The "G" in the center is the Latin translation of the Hebrew letter ℷ, which in gematria, which replaces letters with numbers in Kabbalah, means 3 and symbolizes the godhead.
God believed in by people of the lineage of Israel in China in B.C.
They represent Adam and Eve.
They have a compass and a right angle ruler.
The fact that this Adam and Eve are represented by a serpent in the lower half of their bodies implies that they were created by Jehovah, who is represented by the serpent.
Moses held up a bronze snake on a pole as a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Hebrew for "serpent (NChSh)," in Gematria, N is 50, Ch is 8, and Sh is 300 for a total of 358.
The Messiah (MShYCh) has M for 40, Sh for 300, Y for 10, and Ch for 8 for a total of 358.
If you are bitten by a venomous snake, you can treat it with an anti-venom serum.
Antivenom serum removes the effects of the venom rather than destroying the toxin itself.
Antivenom serum injects the venom into the animal, and the animal's body produces antibodies that neutralize the venom.
Jesus Christ experienced and overcame the poison and death of our sin like an anti-venom serum and became potent against them.
We can be helped by the efficacy of the Atonement of Jesus Christ through faith and repentance, symbolically receiving His blood in the ritual sacrament of taking bread and water in commemoration of His atoning sacrifice, like an anti-venom serum cure.
In the symbolic figure of the Kabbalistic tree of life, the ascent to exaltation is three and a half revolutions.
The serpent that makes three and a half revolutions of the tree of life is Jesus Christ.
