I was driving this Jewish guy to the air port and I saw the Hebrew letter shin on his frontlet betweenthe eyes, you know his tefillin. So later I asked another guy how it is a sign. He said to chase demons.
I have a different theory. On the opposite side the shin has 4 verticle lines instead of 3. Here is where we start. The shin or sin was originally a pictogram of a tooth in paleo-Hebrew. So when I was thinking about it I remembered that woolly mammouths have teeth that don't just have three bumps or two by their molar has 4.
I saw it in a book about how Mammouths were thought to be a sign of American power about 300 years ago when they started finding the skeletons.
But why not a symbol of Jewish prophetic power?
For example, Mammouth means litterally earth mole. The indigenous people were mistaken and believed Mammouths were giant rats that traveled under the ground, thus the name.
In the same way there could be a purim like reversal. Jewish people will be the head and not longer the tail in the millenium. Once thought to be dirty rats by ignorant people, they are seen as kings of the earth.
Finally, what bigger shofar could there be than a woolly mammouth Shofar tusk? Woolly =prophets.
Next to this library I am sitting in are two mammouth things. One, is the site where they found NJs first almost complete woolly mamouth in 1823, I mean about 400 meters down the hill. The other is this land used to be owned by the Woolly Familly, the historic museum across the parking lot here being called the woolly house.
So, this is a difficult question, how is is a sign. I hope you can use it as a witnessing ice breaker if not thus saith the Lord type thing you would preach as gospel.
Van Halen was originally called Mamouth. David Lee Roth of Van Halen first sang at his barmitzvah. I hope he is there when we sing like it says in Hosea 2:15. Maybe it will be the big end times Messianic woodstock in Kamchatka Siberia.
When I read these things in Deut. 6:8 I think of Revelation 13:16 and the mark of the beast. I also think of Ezekiel 9:4 where the man is instructed to mark those who sigh and mourn because of the abominations done in Jerusalem.
Why would they sigh and mourn unless they knew those things done in Jerusalem were abominations?
How would they know what was an abomination to G-d unless they knew the law?
How could they "know and love" the law unless G-d circumcised their hearts?
The mark, sign, frontlets put in the minds are G-d's word. The mark, sign, reminders that are put on the hand are there to always remind you Who is in charge, Who our Master is, and that we are owned. We look at our hands all the time. To whom do you belong?
The right hand is our power, will and inclination to do good, our left is our nature and power to do evil. Our left hand should always be under submission and in control. We own our yetzer hara.
What sign or evidence (think earnest and proof of purchase) does a believer have in or on his person (a person is a soul, not the flesh) to distinguish him from unbeliever?
Is there an absence of this particular thing in an unbeliever?
Is the absence of a mark just as identifiable as having a mark?
God puts a mark on believers when they are reborn. Those who remain as they are with out rebirth continue with the mark they have always had. John 3:18 and 3:36
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Rev 9:4
And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads. Rev. 22:4
If a man does not have the seal of G-d in his forehead, then he has another’s seal in his mind, forehead.
Shalom,

I admit being born again is the main spiritual reality but am open to an outward sign of the inward reality also in terms of what happens in the future.
Cain had a mark (Hebrew ‘Aleph oth’, Old Greek ‘semeion’, Latin ‘signum’): Hebrew Masorah, haggadah, and Midrashim seem to indicate that Cain’s mark endured for seven years. The Hebrew letter Aleph, looks similar ot the English X, slight modifications to the tips of each prong of that letter, short perpendicular lines, yield the dreaded and hated swastika; which was worn on the head caps of the SS right on the forehead level. Hasatan takes what would be holy and perverts it. The battle is against demons, powers, and principalities.
Yerushalayim lies atop mount Moriah (Hebrew meaning ‘chosen by Yehovah’). From Moriah three steep valleys emerge. The eastern most is gey hinnom (Gehenna, Aceldama, Potter’s field, and the smoldering trash dump symbolic of the flaming pit). The middle valley is the Tyropean Valley, The kotel haMavaree (Wailing Wall) is part of its eastern slope. This valley divides Mount Zion into two parts. The third valley is the Qidron valley a.k.a. The Valley of Jehoshaphat (Hebrew meaning ‘Yehovah has judged’.). This is the site of the Last Judgment.
Sunlight from above, and to the east, on these topographical features casts shadows to form the Hebrew letter Shin (or sin depending on the pointing mark). It looks something like the English letter “W”. It is Hebrew shorthand for El Shaddai, God my Protector.
Shin shadia as an answer makes sense. Is this Jewish oral tradition or your own original thinking?
The sheen image can be seen from arial photographs, I saw the photo which my Messianic Rabbi had in his office. Here's another puzzling item. The surface winds on Saturn (The 7th celestial object from the center of the solar system, including the sun) has surface winds in excess of 1,000 mph (about mach 1,4), which certainly makes the atmosphere turbulent. There is a perfect hexagram (the interior geometric figure of the Magen David) in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet. The planet is gold in color and has 7 halos or major rings encircling it. It is also highly likely that what is called the asteroid belt was once a planet, probably the "estate" that the fallen angels lose & which was blown up by God. A NASA engineer is convinced that there is a "Face on Mars". Could it be that the fallen angels had carved Hasatan mug shot on to stone and when the planet was blown up it went through the virtually nonexistent atmosphere on Mars virtually undamaged? Hasatan, being prideful would probably liked to have his face carved in stone. Using "Face recognition" software is it possible to identify the antichrist with an overlay of the "Face on Mars"?
