Small Messianic Menorah decorated with the
Grafted In symbol and Jerusalem view. The word Jerusalem is written on its
base.
The Grafted In Symbol is one of the earliest known Christian
symbols. This combined Menorah, Star of David and Fish, represent the unity and
common roots of Judaism and Christianity. It was first discovered in a small
assembly room on Mount Zion; 3 rd Century A.D. In Romans, Paul speaks about the
natural olive tree of Israel and the grafting in of gentile believers into the
olive tree.
Perhaps more than any other symbol, the Menorah, a seven
branch candelabrum, has come to represent the Jewish people. It symbolizes the
idea that the nation of Israel is to be a light for all nations through setting
an example: "Not by Might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit" (Zechariah
4:1-6).
The Menorah once graced the Tabernacle as the children of Israel
had traveled through the Sinai dessert. It stood as a great monument in both the
First and Second Temples.
Instructions for the construction of the
Menorah can be found in Exodus 25:31-40.
Today, the Menorah is the symbol
of the modern state of Israel. Menorahs are still fulfilling the same function
today as they have in the Biblical era. They can be seen in synagogues and
households; bringing enlightenment and enhancing the spiritual connection of
mankind with G-d.
