1. Saturn is the Sixth Planet of our Solar System.
“Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter.”
en.wikipedia.org...
2. Saturn has a Six sided Polygon on it north pole.
North polar hexagonal cloud feature, discovered by Voyager 1 and confirmed in 2006 by Cassini.
en.wikipedia.org...
3. Saturn is also the name of the Sixth day of the week, which is Saturday.
It was named no later than the second century for the planet (Saturn), which controlled the first hour of that day according to Vettius Valens. The planet was named for the Roman god of agriculture Saturn. It has been called dies Saturni ("Saturn's Day"), through which from it entered into Old English as Sæternesdæg and gradually evolved into the word "Saturday".
en.wikipedia.org...
What is truly interesting is that Saturn has a Six sided polygon, and is the Sixth planet of our Solar system, and is named after the Sixth day of the week, which is Saturday. So, if you were to combine this, you have an interesting combination of 6-6-6.
It is common knowledge that the number 666 is associated with the devil.
Now, there is a pagan idol which is associated with Saturn, and the name of the idol is “Satyr” pronounced as “Sater”. Satyr is a half-man, half-goat idol.
Saturday was named after Saturn, or Satyr, or Satan (to be verified).

Satyr
hairy one. Mentioned in Greek mythology as a creature composed of a man and a goat, supposed to inhabit wild and desolate regions. The Hebrew word is rendered also "goat" () and "devil", i.e., an idol in the form of a goat (; ). When it is said (; comp. ) "the satyrs shall dance there," the meaning is that the place referred to shall become a desolate waste. Some render the Hebrew word "baboon," a species of which is found in Babylonia.

In the Bible, there is a verse which connects on this goat idol worship:
(RSV)
So they shall no more slay their sacrifices for satyrs, after whom they play the harlot. This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout their generations.
(NIV)
They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols to whom they prostitute themselves. This is to be a lasting ordinance for them and for the generations to come.'
This goat idol has already been worshipped by the ancient Israelites. Since Saturn has a hexagon or six sided polygon on its north pole, we can derive a hexagram star or six pointed star from its shape, as shown below:
Incidentally, there is a half-man, half-goat idol which is associated with the Hexagram, and the name of this goat idol is the Baphomet, as shown below:
Since the ancient Israelites were worshipping this goat idol, it is truly difficult not to link the flag of Israel which has the pagan Hexagram symbol on its flag. Somehow this satanic symbol made its way through modern Israel and it’s now recognized as a typical Jewish symbol.
However, there are some Jews which disagree with this symbol:
A number of years ago, when the Lord was dealing with me about the 'Jewish' Star of David, my heart was bound up in the symbol. Being raised Jewish it had much emotional meaning for me. When someone first suggested that it wasn't kosher, and that I look into its history, I became defensive. But, I did, and the more I looked into the matter, the more I became convinced that I could not, in good conscience, continue to use it on my stationary (letterhead and synagogue card), or wear it, because it was not a biblical symbol but a pagan one. At best, it was a profane (common), ordinary symbol, the innocent placing of two triangles together. At worst, it was taken from the occult and introduced into Judaism by the Kabala.1 But Kabala picked it up from the occult.
www.seedofabraham.net...
There is evidence that it was king Solomon which has introduced this pagan hexagram to Israel:
The so-called "Star of David" is essentially a "hexagram," nothing more, nothing less. There is no Biblical or Jewish evidence that traces this ancient occult symbol with king David of Israel. However, there is evidence that it was used by king Solomon, after he turned to pagan gods and the occult, late in his life, causing God to become very angry with him .

Now, what is the meaning of the hexagram? According to this site:
Above, the hex is symbolic of the light and dark sides in witchcraft. God is pictured as both good and evil, light and darkness. The solar serpent lucifer is the symbol of the knowledge (gnosis) of the revelation of eternal life. The macroprosopus is said to be copied in the microprosopus (the Macro and Micro of the universe). This god wears the triple crown and emblazoned on his chest is the occult Maltese Cross. The idea transferred is that God is what man is (male & female a bisexual); as above so below, as in the spiritual so in the natural. The entire body of mysticism of Kabbalah is hidden within the hex.
Here are several quotes from the above book and some comments to help bring the history of the ancient hex up to modern day.
Mr. Sholem says: "The hexagram is not a Jewish symbol. It arouses no hopes. Insofar as it had any connection at all with the emotional world of a pious Jew, it was on the level of fears which might be overcome by magic (p 259)."

Now, describing all the mystical gestures of this Baphomet, we have this:
Inasmuch as the genius of the planet Saturn, or Kronos, was held by the Talmudists to be good and pure, contrary to those of the other planets, the Four-winged image, so common upon Gnostic gems, may reasonably be considered as a copy from the ancient original, devised by Taut. Saturn, the sole inspirer of the Law and the Prophets, had special claims to the veneration of the Alexandrine Kabbalists. And this belief explains wherefore Valentinus fixed upon this planet for the abode of Ildabaoth, the Giver of the Law to the Children of Israel in the Wilderness.
...
For the Kabbalists hold that Moses and the prophets were inspired by the genius of Saturn, a good and pure spirit, whereas Jesus was by that of Mercury, a malevolent one; and the Christian religion was the work of Mercury, Jupiter and the Sun, all combining together for that purpose.
Acts 7:37-43 This is that Moses...to whom our fathers wold not obey, but thrust him from them, and IN THEIR HEARTS TURNED BACK AGAIN INTO EGYPT... And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the HOST OF HEAVEN: as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the STAR OF YOUR GOD REMPHAN, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Amos 5:26-27 But ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun (Remphan) your images, the STAR OF YOUR GOD, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord...

Mabus, give me a break. Jesus standing with satan? That is exactly the opposite of what the verses you quote are saying. It is interesting to note I used the same verses for my sig just this morning, before I ever saw this thread.
The context of those verses places Christ in direct opposition to satan as He is accused of casting out demons in the name of satan and this is His response. Would satan cast out his own demons? I think not.
Mark 3
22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
27 No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Luke 24
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

One thing I want to point out is this:
Genesis 2:2
And "on" the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested "on" the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
^^How can you be on a 7th day? The 6th day is "on" the 7th day, and is not the 7th day itself. So I concluded the only way to be "on" a specificly marked or told day is to have no entering it.

The Jews and Romans had different systems of time. The Jewish day began at sundown, the Roman at midnight.
Of course Sunday is the first day of the week. Christians worship on Sunday to start the week in worship of God. Christ is our Sabbath. He fulfilled the law.
"The Sabbath, the best known day of the law, was changed into the Lord's day. These and others have not ceased because of instructions received from Christ, (because he himself says, I have not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it), but because due to the authority of the church they have been changed." Archbishop of Rheggio, Sermon on 1-18-1562, Mansi XXIII, p. 526
"The Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its claim for sacredness can be defended only on Catholic authority...In Holy Scripture from the beginning to the end we find not one single text which justifies the transfer of the weekly public worship service from the last to the first day of the week." Catholic Press, Sidney, 8-25-1900
"Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that worship should be changed from Saturday to Sunday. The fact is that the Church was in existence for several centuries before the Bible was given to the world. The Church made the Bible; the Bible did not make the Church." Things Catholics Are Asked About, by Martin J. Scott, 1927 ed, p. 136
"We celebrate Sunday instead of Saturday, because the Catholic Church has transferred the sacredness from Saturday to Sunday at the council of Laodicea in the year of 364 AD." The Converts Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, from P. Geiermann, the work of Pope Pius X, on 1-25-1910
According to the Roman Catholic Church 'Sunday' is their distinct and distinguished mark of authority.
"Sunday is our mark of authority. The church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact." The Catholic Record, London, Ontario, September 1, 1923
"The observance of Sunday by Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the (Catholic) Church." Plain Talk About the Protestantism of Today, by Monsignor Segur, p. 213
"But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that in...observing the Sunday... they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the church, the pope." Our Sunday Visitor, Catholic weekly, Feb. 5, 1950
"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act... a mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters." Office of Cardinal Gibbons, through Chancellor C. F. Thomas, Nov. 11, 1895
In Hebrew sabbath means to rest. God has made us a promise of rest but it is up to us to claim it. The sabbath is not a certain day of the week because Jesus Christ has become our sabbath. We can have the true sabbath that God promised us everyday if we like or we can set aside a certain day. God tells us there are certain things we must do before we can enter His rest. So lets go to His word and read how we can get true rest for our souls.
Jesus Christ triumphed over Satan in His daily life and in being raised from the dead. He defeated death which is Satan.
Colossians 2
V16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
V17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
The sabbath days were just a shadow of our true rest, Jesus Christ. Only Christ can save our soul and give us rest.
Jesus Christ has become our sabbath and we can have that rest everyday of the week if we want, it's up to us. We need to have faith, an open mind and work to get His rest. Read God's word and claim the promise of rest that He made to us. If you would like to set aside a day of the week to do this, there is nothing wrong with that. But remember that mankind gave the days of the week names, not God. Also, with God a day is a thousand years so saying a certain day is the sabbath just don't work. Our sabbath is Jesus Christ. We should enter our sabbath everyday.

Christ fulfilled the law in the Spirit. The Spirit of the Law transcends the letter of the Law. Christ is the seed of promise. The Jews are still in bondage to sin and death under the letter of the Mosaic Law, the seed of bondage.

This is why not studying the scriptures in their original language can lead you on wayward paths, especially if you are going to form your beliefs around it.
In the Hebrew, there is no "ON" used in this verse. What is translated in English as "on (or "in" in some translations) the seventh day" is two single words: "yowm" meaning day, and "shbiy`iy", meaning seventh. That's it, no hidden meaning, just plain and simple, talking about the seventh day. It is simply translated into English that way for easier reading, such as "on the seventh day I am going to keep the Sabbath", or "on the weekend I am am going fishing". That doesn't mean I am going to sit outside of the day itself and not enter it. But still, even if you want to take it as that, once again, the word "on" is not used in the original Hebrew verse, so that completely nullifies that argument.

The verse above precedes His statement and is the context I referred to. The rest follows directly from it.
Finally,
Luke 24
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
He did state he was Christ.
