"Grafted In" Symbol

The "Grafted-In" Symbol or the triglyph "Menorah/Star of David/Fish" is the Messianic Seal of the Jerusalem Kehillah (church). First to Second century artifacts discovered in a cave near King David's tomb on Mount Zion in the 1960's bear this symbol. Some experts have concluded that it was an identifying mark of the early Jewish Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) as a symbol that tied together their traditions and faith in a growing Messianic community.

The Menorah at the top represents the Torah, the fulfillment of the promises to Abraham and that special calling to the people of Israel. The Magen David (Star of David) is a symbol of the kingdom and a reminder that the son of David, Yeshua the King, will sit on the throne of David. The fish has a rich history of identification with the believer. It was a common symbol for believers because the Greek word for fish (ICHTHYS) was used as an acronym for "Yeshua, Son of God, Savior".

This three-part design beautifully illustrates the truth of Romans 11:17-18, that all believers are 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.
