The Mezuzah and the Symbolic Shin

Furthermore, the Aleph, or the Almighty, is connected to the flame of Shin as well. In Judaism, including the Messianic Jews, a Mezuzah is a symbolic piece of parchment, known as the cloth, contained in a decorative case inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah. For example, the Shema is a big part of that, which is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one." That is found in Deuteronomy 6:4. And when we look at the Mezuzah, we see a huge Shin on it. I've got one as well, and I meant to bring it in, and I totally forgot about it, but I got a Mezuzah as well, and it's got a huge Shin on it, which symbolically represents Yah, the consuming fire that will lead you and protect you in all of His ways. And I'll go get it before we get offline. I'll go get it really quick and show you guys that so you can see it firsthand because it's kind of hard to see the way that scroll has it. But again, I've got one and it's got a big old Shin on there, which is very important. So, when we look at it, we see a huge Shin, which symbolically represents our Father, Yah, the consuming fire that will lead you and protect you in all of His ways. The people put the Mezuzah on the doorpost, and some even on the doors inside of their home, which I do as well. It is written here, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."

So again, my friends, if you ever see, if you're ever on a plane to Israel, if you're ever in Israel or in New York, or wherever the Orthodox Jewish people are, then you will see them put on the wraps of their arms. You'll see them put on the frontlets between their eyes during the prayer times, 9, 12, and 3. And they'll stand up and they'll say the Shema, they'll say the Amidah, and these things like that. But they'll have the frontlets between their eyes and they'll have it wrapped around their arms as well. So again, that's why they do it, you know, because it's the Mezuzah and also Deuteronomy 6, the Shema. And that's what they do. That's the reason that they do it. If you can give me a couple of seconds, I'll go grab this really quick and I'll be right back to show you guys the Mezuzah really quick.

Okay, thank you so much for your patience, my friends. But as you can see, this is the Mezuzah, and you can see the Shin, you know, right there at the front, the first letter, the top letter, and then it goes on there. Okay, so it's really a cool thing. I put it on the top of my doorpost. It's really amazing. And then on the back, you see the little scroll in there that they put in there, and it has the Shema in there, etc. So I don't really take that out because I probably couldn't put it back in. So I just keep it there. But it is a biblical understanding, my friends, that we can take out of this. But that is what they call a Mezuzah. You know, one of them. It's just a piece of wood, you know, but that's what they do. So I wanted to show you guys that. It's pretty cool.

All right, as we continue forward, thus the reason people put Mezuzahs on their doorposts and their gates. It is symbolic for blessings and protection, or as Moses writes, "blessed going in and blessed going out," which is Deuteronomy 28:6. So please excuse me, spend time with that with Deuteronomy 6:4-9, also Deuteronomy 28:6, to get more revelation about the Mezuzah. I think it's very important and just one of those applications that we can have according to the scriptures. Deuteronomy 9:3: "Therefore understand today that the Lord your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly as the Lord has said to you." So again, it's a very powerful understanding. But again, my friends, that is what the Mezuzah is, just one of those applications that we have, kind of like the frontlets that they put on or how they wrap their arms with, etc. And then in the back, they have a beautiful little scroll in there that you can take out. And let me see, I probably can't put it back in, but I'll take it out anyhow. But it's in Hebrew, and I'm not fluent in Hebrew, but it's just really cool, you know, really cool thing to kind of, again, how people look at sometimes when they look at the Star of David or if they wear a cross on their neck, which I don't do either one of those, but at the same time, it's similar to those kind of applications as well.
