NAYL
This thing shows up in Ezra 9:8: “Now for a little moment grace has been shown from Yahweh our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Ezra 9:8
“Now for a little moment grace has been shown from Yahweh our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and revived us a little in our bondage.”
