The important significance to us "as believers" I like to use the term "believers" because in this class, if I can teach you how not to offend the Jewish people, it is my heart's cry. They are sensitive to the word Christian, they're sensitive to the word cross although we learned last week that the tav which in the scriptures, that we studied was a mark or a sign or covenant.

We studied many of the scriptures which said God placed those marks or signs on the heads of His people.

We studied the scripture in ( Ezekiel 9:4;and the Lord said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it". (NKJV) which protected people from death when they had the tav. See also Ezekiel 9:6

We studied the scripture in ( Genesis 4:15 ....And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him. (NKJV). Cain was protected Him from death, when he had the mark of the tav. It was protection from a blood vengeance.

We studied the mark of the Beast in Revelation. For everything that God has, Satan has a counterfeit.{ Revelation 13:16 And he (The Beast) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. (NKJV) } This mark blocks us from eternal life. See zo-har

But the sad part about the tav is that it was given to the Jewish people by God two thousand (2,000) years before Yeshua came to represent a sign (which is the last letter of the Jewish Alphabet #22) and it was to protect God's people from death.

So when they had the tav or they had the mark, they were protected as God's people from death. You know, like a sheep or a cow or something like that, that is branded, you put a mark on them. Who do you do that? To identify what belongs to you. But you know what? God said they're Mine and you can't touch them.

So that was put there for the Jewish people, the cross - get this - to protect them from death, and look what the enemy did.

He used it to instill a belief in them that the cross meant death. And thats why we have to be sensitive to the Jewish people, because every time there was a cross, or they were persecuted in Christ's name it was the cross in the standing position, the holocaust and all the other persecutions, there was a symbol there that we're doing this abomination to please God. So you can see the seed of the enemy. The enemy (Satan) See Adversary took the very thing that God instilled for the Jewish people to protect them from death and used it against them.

And that's the reason we studied the tav .
