The Tav Mark (Q&A)

Q:  I have read your message, "When did the 'Tav' mark start to look like a cross"?  I`d be very thankful, if you can answer some questions.

How do you know that the mark mentioned in Ezekiel 9:4 is the letter tav?  In the Bible it reads only "...and set a mark upon the forehead of the men."  Where is it mentioned in the Hebrew Bible that the mark was the letter "tav"?

You say that the Essenes marked Messianic prophecies in their Bible scrolls with a cross mark. Can you give me some example of that, how they use the cross? Is there no doubt that the crosses were placed there with some definitive purpose and not only to mark the messianic passages out of the others?

The Messianic Seal of the Jerusalem Church (Review)

"Tomb of David" on Mt. Zion and the "Messianic Seal"

The symbol known as the "Messianic Seal" (pictured above) has become quite popular among Messianic believers in Jesus [Yeshua] and among Gentile believers interested in their Jewish roots.  It symbolizes the intimate connection between Judaism and Christianity which, from an historical point of view, can no longer be denied.  However a quite separate question related to this symbol is whether or not it is ancient.
