"GRAFTED IN" Early Messianic Symbol
This sign has reportedly been discovered, in recent years, on pottery in The Jerusalem area, believed to date from the 2nd century a.d. Some experts Have concluded that it was an identifying mark of the early Jewish believers in Yeshua (Jesus) that tied together, their traditions and their faith. Surely more Facts will come to Light as more archaeological evidence emerges.
We at the Galilee Experience call this three-part design the "grafted-in" symbol as it beautifully illustrates the truth of Romans 11:17-18.
" The Menorah (Candelabra) at the top reminds us of god's torah and His fulfillment of the promises to Abraham in calling out the People of Israel. The Magen David (Star, or shield, of David) in the middle recalls the Nation of Israel And the establishment of the Davidic monarchy in the Land of Israel. The Fish at the bottom, long a symbol for Yeshua (from the greek word for fish, ichthys, which Was used as an acronym for Jesus Christ, son of god, savior'), shows that the gentile has been grafted into the Jewish root through faith in Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel, The fulfiller of the torah and the rightful king in the line of David.
" Note that the symbol is one, completely fused together. With this fusion the "Grafted-In" symbol demonstrates that Jew and gentile are truly one in the messiah, reconciled through his atonement. In him the middle wall of partition has indeed been broken down. It is our desire that this symbol will inspire you as you meditate on the scriptures, which in turn and lead you to share these truths with others.
Romans 11:
"And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." Romans 11:17-25
I have another version of the grafted in symbol in the blog "It's Jewish". I thought I would put this blog (The Meaning of the symbol) to share my research about our being grafted in. |

I have a book by W. H. Bennett concerning the "Magen David" called "Symbols of our Celto-Saxon Heritage" Page 103 stating: Actually the Jewish people have little, if any right to the name Israel at all, for many of them are descendants of religious proselytes whose ancestry is certainly not Israelitish. Even those who do have Israelitish blood have no right to any national use of the name of Israel, for they are descendandants of the house of Judah, not of the House of Israel.
Page 107 That the shield of David was known and esteemed among the Celto-Saxon people long before 1830 is also supported by another interesting item of evidence. At the top of the official emblem of the Stars arranged in such a way that they form the Star or Shield of David.
These arms were adopted by an act of congress in 1782.

| I did get the photo back on this blog. I also wish to note that my previous blog, called "It's Jewish" contains the same photo but is a different blog. It was just convenient to use the same photo for both blogs. |
