Tallit, Tzitzit, and Tefillin - Stylish Symbols of Rebellion

The disturbing truth being revealed in this examination of the Hebrew Roots Movement is that a
great many men and women have been deceived or enticed into embracing rites, symbols, and
holidays which are derived from the worship of Satan. As the evidence accumulates, it should be
anticipated that as we dig into the origins of these elements associated with apostate Judaism, we
will discover the telltale signs of Satan’s character. One of the dominant aspects of Satan’s nature
th
is rebellion. The word “Satan” means “adversary.” David, in the 38 Psalm used the Hebrew word
“satan” when speaking of those who hated him.

Psalms 38:20
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries (Hebrew ‘satan’)...

In the New Testament, we find Yahshua, who is declared “the Son of David,” being opposed by the
apostate Jewish religious leaders. They are acting as His adversaries. Yahshua speaks truly when He
declares these evil men to be children of their father, the devil.

John 8:44
“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he
speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.”

Just like Satan, the Jewish religious leaders sought to put to death an innocent man. They brought
forth false witnesses in order to accuse and condemn the Son of God. Both lying and murder were
in their minds and in their actions. Corresponding to this we find that the orthodox Jews wear a
symbol of Satanic rebellion on their foreheads (minds) and on their arms (actions). As you look at
the image at the beginning of this chapter, you will see that the young man is wearing a black leather
box on his left arm and on his forehead. The Jews call these tefillin. The Orthodox Jews believe their
tefillin correspond to the “frontlets,” or “phylacteries” mentioned in a number of Bible passages.

Deuteronomy 6:6-8
And these words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach
them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk
by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. And you shall bind them as a sign on your
