Apparently you have not come to the understanding that all who praise God are spiritual Jews and God's Israel.
Also, the candles mentioned in Revelation are a menorah. It is possible that name has evolved over the centuries, but it is. Also, thi9nk about this, those candlesticks could not have existed back in the day since they were powered by oil burning.

Not really foreign, just pre-Judaism proper, so to speak.
Okay, not to go all ‘Da Vinci Code” here, but the Magen David is actually quite ancient and possibly predates Judaism proper. It’s an old symbol representing divine dualism. The downward triangle the divine masculine, the upward one, the divine feminine. The issue being that the divine feminine has all but been eradicated in Abrahamic religions; thus, the symbol gained alternate interpretations over time.
One of these being....
In some Jewish mystical circles, it represents the duality involving one’s relationship to God. To quote from one source: “There is the 'up' relationship (the upward triangle) meaning that we elevate ourselves through our prayer and our performance of G-d's commandments to us to get closer – 'up' – to G-d. The other aspect is the bringing 'down' relationship (downward triangle) which means that through our actions down here on earth, we draw G-d's presence down or bring holiness into the world; this is also done when we fulfill G-d's divine will. But they are both necessary forms of divine service.”
I suspect this latter interpretation, though kind of neat, is a more recent (relatively speaking) one.

the six pointed star or hexagram is often used in hinduism as it represents the chakras. The swastika is also used as a symbol.
The only star that Christians need to be concerned with is the star of Bethlehem. which was a real phenomenon, not a symbol. Likewise the cross was an actual cross, an instrument or torture and death not a symbol.
if you want symbols, the early christians used the fish symbol to denote they were believers as the greek letters for fish stood for Jesus Christ.
the menorah has been in use since oT times in the tabernacle, it is not a new thing. God instructed the israelites to make them for His glory.

Until a few years ago I would have given this a like because that is what we are being taught . The facts are a little bit different. The Menorah is not associated with Judaism. YHVH Elohim himself gave the blue print to Moses. The tabernacle is a shadow of the heavenly throne room so it has got nothing to do with what we consider "Judaism". You are being deceived brother. Everything in the Tabernacle is a shadow of Yeshua/Jesus on earth. If we can't see it we need to pray for guidance until Father reveals it to us.

You mention God, Moses, the Menorah and Temple?
When Jesus Christ died on the Cross of Calvary, the veil of the temple was rent, the temple service was (Destroyed) useless, gone!

1) This is your first problem. The Menorah wasn't an invention by Moses and the 12 tribes in the desert. God himself gave it to them. Told them the exact manner to design it and what it should look like. Have somebody ever highlighted the Messianic pictures to you in the Menorah?
2) Yes, I do. God said that Moses was like a friend to Him. What Christian in his right mind would not want to be known as God's friend? We should definitely look at Moses in more detail to understand relationship with God.
3) I don't even know how you think temple service is destroyed but that is a discussion for a different time.
