The Hebrew letter shin can represent Shaddai, a name of God. And it appears that
a figure similar to this symbol actually has been stamped onto the city of Jerusalem. It can be seen in the that the geographical configuration of the city’s valleys, together with the temple and its location, somewhat resemble a shin.
These are the names of the labeled items: A) Valley of Ben Hinnom, B) Tyropoeon Valley, C) Kidron Valley, and D) the temple. The temple is in a similar location to the dagesh of the letter shin.
Here's an article about it all that goes into some more details and also reveals that shin is indeed
written on all human as part of our design as the Holy Bible says we're:
Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
for in the image of God made he man.
Don't know about the rest of that site, but this particular article is very nice.
I found this gem over at Brother Clouds site Way of Life website:
I believe I have found DNA in the Bible. DNA is the genetic code from which an animal or person is formed. The physical features of the entire individual are encoded in the DNA before it is formed. Consider Psalm 139:16, which is part of a passage beginning in verse 13 that describes the formation of a person in the womb: “Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.” How is it possible for one’s members to be fashioned when they do not yet exist? The answer is that they are formed in the DNA before they are formed bodily. The Bible is a scientifically accurate book! - David Cloud
Amen to that Brother Cloud.
I found this tidbit somewhere:
This phenomenon, evidently, was visible in Rome, Athens, and other Mediterranean cities.
According to Tertulliam......it was a "cosmic" or "world event". Phlegon, a Greek author
from Caria writing a chronology soon after 137 A.D., reported that in the fourth year of
the 202nd Olympiad (i.e., 33 A.D.) there was, "the greatest eclipse of the sun" and that
"it became night in the sixth hour of the day (i.e. noon) so that stars even appeared in
the heavens. There was a great earthquake in Bithynia, and many things were overturned
in Nicaea.

And here is some of what the Bible says about this event which took place during the crucifixion of the Son of God:
Luke 23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
Luke 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Luke 23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
Luke 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
Luke 23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Luke 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Luke 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luke 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Luke 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Matthew 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Flavius Josephus (37-97 AD), court historian for Emperor Vespasian:
"At this time there was a wise man who was called Jesus. And his conduct was good and he was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. And those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive; accordingly, he was perhaps the messiah concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders." (Arabic translation)
