The Story Told by An (2000 years) Ancient Stone - it was the Jewish people who called Jerusalem home
Israel National News Blog ^ | 9/13/09 | Israel National News Blog

Sometimes, all it takes is one ancient stone to upend all the vicious anti-Israel propaganda being hurled at us by our foes. Archaeologists from Israel's Antiquities Authority recently uncovered a stone carving dating back nearly two thousand years which depicts the Menorah (candelabrum) that stood in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem (see below). Jews from across the country regularly made pilgrimage to the Temple, which was the seat of Judaism and its most holy of sitesuntil being destroyed by the Roman invaders in the year 70 C.E. Obviously, the unknown artist who sculpted the stone was moved by his encounter with the Menorah at the Temple - so much so that when he got home he took the time and effort to engrave it.

They should take back the temple and run the Muzzies off.

Yes, Jerusalem belongs to Israel.

However, archeological discoveries of where certain people worshiped 2000 years ago has nothing to do with who should control a specific geographic area today.

If that were the case, there would have to be many areas of the United States ceded to the tribes of Native Americans based on where their ancestors worshipped prior to the arrival of Europeans in North America.

Just curious about the people who occupied the area for the 15,000 years before Abraham wandered in from Iraq. Aren’t there some carved stones and construction sites from them too?

I nominate DC. Maybe they can finally drain the swamp.

= = =

INDEED.

However, God has charge of that Dept.

And HE has it scheduled . . . at the literal ARMAGEDDON

. . . . which is looming closer and closer at break-neck speed.

Logically.

However,

GOD ALMIGHTY HAS A VERY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND ATTITUDE TOWARD THE CHILDREN OF JACOB.

Wise folks join God in HIS perspective.

GOD ALMIGHTY

MADE HIS PERSPECTIVE AND ATTITUDE

toward those idolatrous characters

after the Exodus . . . and after the 40 years of wandering in the desert.

Some of those tribes He had wiped out utterly.

Of course, if you wish to contend with God Almighty . . . be my guest.

However, He has promised that HE WILL bless those who bless the children of Jacob and curse those who curse them.

One makes one’s choices and takes the consequences. There are no other alternatives.

I dont think the land itself really matters anymore since when Christ comes..it will be dirt, and nothing more.

Perhaps, however, at least in the Western Democracies, we do not use the Bible as a governing document. if that were the case, slavery would still be legal in the Western Democracies.

"Of course, if you wish to contend with God Almighty . . ."

God did not obliterate the preexistence or the evidence of the preexistence of the peoples that inhabited the area before the arrival of the Jewish people.

And when that day comes, what happens to my Jewish wife and children?

Will they accompany their Catholic husband and father to Heaven?

Spoken like someoine who truly has no idea what the bible teaches. Slavery was abolished because of the teachings of the Bible. And just consider where the Western Democracies that have abandoned Christian principles and mock God are headed to. They that have ears will not hear and they that have eyes will not see...

WHAT AN UTTERLY UNBIBLICAL, NONSENSICAL SILLY ASSERTIOIN.

GOD HIMSELF NOTES THAT AS LONG AS THE SUN, MOON AND STARS EXIST, HIS COVENANT WITH THE CHILDREN OF JACOB

WILL REMAIN IN FORCE.

THAT INCLUDES THE COVENANT WITH THE . . . . drum roll . . .

LAND.

In fact, He has yet to fulfill giving them ALL THE LAND TO ALL THE BOUNDARIES HE DECLARED WOULD BE THEIRS.

ALMIGHTY GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES. . . . ACCORDING TO HIS TIME TABLE, BUT HE KEEPS THEM TO THE NTH DEGREE AND THEN SOME.

Stay tuned.

I’ll take ALMIGHTY GOD’S EVERLASTING PROMISES

OVER SUCH SILY RUBBER BIBLE GENERATED FANTASIES

ANY DAY
ANY WEEK
ANY MONTH
ANY YEAR
ANY MILLENIUM
IN ANY UNIVERSE, MULTIVERSE OR MATRIX.

Western laws were founded on Judeo/Christian Scriptures more than on anything else.

Besides, it doesn’t matter how many subscribe to God’s construction on reality.

HIS CONSTRUCTION ON REALITY ALWAYS WINS OUT.

ALWAYS.

HE OBLITERATED

SOME OF THE TRIBES.

Scripture and archeology and history all concur on that score.

BTW, He’s getting ready to obliterate some more.

The Anti-Christ will be in charge at least 3.5 up to 7 years before Armageddon . . . and set his image or some such horror up in the New Jewish Temple’s Holy of HOlies . . . at which point

the Jews will wake up and realize they’ve been snookered by evil incarnage . . . and begin to flee as the AntiChrist murders many of them from the Temple courtyard outward.
