EDIT: the link is here.And please help me! I know that Israel at the time was plaqued by syncretism, but a pagan symbol in a seal used by a faithful Jєωιѕн king? Please tell me what is the truth!
The winged beetle and sun disk were solar images from Egypt. However, even if the symbols were foreign in form, their meaning was indigenous. The prophet Malachi described Yahweh as the sun of righteousness with healing in his wings, and the use of solar imagery to represent Yahweh was at least as old as the tenth century.
The Bible mentions one usage of pagan imagery by Jєωs, in this case, Aaron and the case of the golden calf. Whoever designed the seal of Hezekiah could be the cause of conquering of Israel by the Assyrians.
