	Tefillin [Phylacteries]
		The head phylactery is imprinted twice with the Hebrew letter shin: once on the side which is to the left of the wearer, and once on the opposite side.
		All statements as to the nature of phylacteries in pre-Mishnaic times were mere conjecture until the discovery some forty years ago of the remains of phylacteries at the Murabba'at caves, which were occupied by refugees at the time of the Bar Kokhba revolt (135 CE), and at the caves at Qumran.
		Thus we see that while the physical elements of the phylacteries, i.e., the case, the parchment, the ties, etc., were already fixed by the 2nd century CE, the final uniformity of the text was not established until later, and even then, two traditions remained as to the ordering of the four passages.

		Their external form, the parchments they contain, and the method by which they were fastened resemble the phylacteries used today, made in accordance with the rabbinic prescription.
		However, while the external form of phylacteries appears to have been standardized during the first century CE, it seems that the regulations concerning the contents of the phylacteries had not yet been established at the time the Qumran phylacteries were made.
		This is attested by the fact that some of the Qumran phylacteries contain the four usual textual excerpts arranged in a different order, while others even contain additional passages, such as the Ten Commandments.

	Karaite Korner - Tefillin (Phylacteries)
		The Biblical commandment which the Rabbis interpret to refer to Tefillin (Phylacteries) is taken by the Karaites as a metaphor which emphasizes the importance of remembering and cherishing the Torah.
		It assumes that the Karaites and Sadducees interpret the verse "and they shall be for Totafot between your eyes" as referring to Rabbinic Phylacteries.
		It should be noted that the Karaites also interpret the verse "And you shall write them on the doorposts of your houses and your gates" (Dt 5,9; Dt 11,20) to be a metaphor equivalent to "write them upon the tablet of your heart." (Prv 3,3) and not as referring to the Rabbanite Mezuzah.

		Phylacteries (called Teflon in Hebrew) are small leather boxes containing certain Bible verses on small rolls of parchment.
		However, it should be noted that The Mark of The Beast is a sign on the hand and forehead, and the Bible passages about the phylacteries are the only other places in Scripture where anything else is ever spoken of as a sign or mark on both the hand and forehead.
		If we can understand the deeper meaning of the phylacteries as the mark of God, then we should be able to understand The Mark of The Beast as Satan's counterfeit of whatever the phylacteries represent.

		While the wearing of phylacteries was not universally accepted during the rabbinic period (post-A.D. 200), the celebrated Bar-Kochba phylacteries from Wad i Murabbaat attest to the steadfast adherence to the practice, even under trying circumstances, of those who did keep it.
		Like many religious objects, phylacteries were often conceived of by the masses as possessing apotropaic (i.e., protective) powers, such as the Word and prayer protect the individual from Satanic forces.
		However, the edifying contents of the phylacteries as well as the laws forbidding their use by certain people thought to be most susceptible to demonic power show that the phylacteries were originally intended as a spiritual and educational device.
