Proof: Original Israel Church spoke Aramaic - Andrew Gabriel Roth - 04-26-2004 Shlama all-- Here is an email someone sent me. If you click on the link you will find info on a Messianic seal--pre Bar-Kochba--that has estrangela on it and that was found in Israel. The article calls the TAW "Hebrew" but only the estrangela TAW is shaped like a cross, as the article also points out. Enjoy! Dear Mr Roth, I became aware of your book "Signs of the Cross" from a post on the Nazarene consortium. I was wondering if you knew about the true sign which the apostles met under, reffered to as 'the messianic seal' or the 'grafted in' symbol? It wasn't a cross at all...Here's a link with some information: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://threemacs.org/themes/jewish/answers.htm">http://threemacs.org/themes/jewish/answers.htm</a><!-- m --> Blessings, Jan Re - Larry Kelsey - 04-26-2004 Shlama Akhi Andrew, Love it, man! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> The only Hebrew 'taw' I could find that looked even remotely like a cross was the Paleo-Hebrew 'taw' and it looked like a cross that had been toppled over to resemble more like an 'X' !! P. S. Might this be how the 'Mogen David' really got started?...or am I reading too much into this? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Shlama w'Burkate, Larry Kelsey Re: Proof: Original Israel Church spoke Aramaic - Craig - 05-03-2004 Andrew Gabriel Roth Wrote:Shlama all-- Here is an email someone sent me.

Having read several articles about that symbol over the years on websites, I have yet to see anything that actually links that symbol with early believers other than a desire to read into the supposed "fish" with a supposed "cross-eye." As for the "Magen David", I haven't been able to eliminate the possibility ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0932050247/">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0932050247/</a><!-- m --> ) that it isn't the star referred to in Amos 5:25-27 and Acts 7:42-43, and I stopped using it because of this.
