This verse is traditionally understood to refer to the Jewish practice of laying tefillin (phylacteries), small boxes containing Hebrew texts which Jewish men wrap around their foreheads and arms with leather straps while reciting the morning prayers. However, the meaning is so much deeper than just the literal interpretation. God commands us to constantly keep His words with us and cherish His laws not just physically with rituals and practice, but spiritually, with an endless emotional devotion to Him. With incredible new technology, an Israeli company has created the world's smallest Bible and set it into a beautiful piece of silver jewelry so that you can keep the sacred words of God close to you wherever you go.

“We Enjoy and Find Very Informative the Jerusalem365 Write-Ups”
It’s great to hear from you and make new friends from all over the world. Please send mean email and let me know how you are enjoying Jerusalem365 (don’t forget to say where you are from!).
Hi, my wife Sue and I are born-again Christians living in South Africa and we love and support the Jewish people. We also believe what the Bible teaches those who bless Israel with be blessed and those who curse Israel are cursed. We have seen how the Israeli people are being discriminated against and the many lies that are being propagated by the media and how it is causing the drastic increase in anti-semitism. We are both retired and enjoy and find very informative, the Jerusalem365 write-ups as well as the videos being posted. May Almighty God give you victory over all your enemies.- RIchard Harrison |
