Ancient Christian Mosaic May Be Loaned to Museum of the Bible, Causing Concern for Archaeologists

‘Play host to the second coming of Christ’? Armageddon, AKA Megiddo. Can some Christian explain that claim?

Wonder why they didn’t provide a direct translation from the mosaic?

Perhaps you don’t know end times scripture?

Here’s a summary

Relying on what is written in the Book of Revelation, some Christians believe there will be a battle between good and evil at the end of the world.

Basically that is the end time belief of a goodly number of the world's religions.

“Once you take any artifact outside of its archaeological context, it loses something, it loses a sense of the space and the environment in which it was first excavated."

A nice low calorie word salad.

Essentially the Armies of the world will gather there to fight. Jesus will come down with His army and put a stop to it before mankind wipes it's self out.

Lots of detail left out but that is the gist.

Some think this has already happened. Some think it will happen in the future. And some don't think about it at all.

What is a “evangelical christian political agenda” and why would such a thing (if it exists) be any kind of a problem?

An Israeli prisoner cleans an early Christian mosaic from an excavated church on the grounds of Megiddo prison in northern Israel. The mosaic inscription on the floor of the structure declared that it had been dedicated to

I think it should remain where it is myself.

So one group who view the Mosaic completely divorced from it's religious significance is upset that a religious group wants to display it in some religious context.
. Sounds like somebody doesn't respect somebody else's religious beliefs.
And the losing religion is once again protestant Christianity.
Please take this comment as it's meant, pound sand atheist azzhats.

Once you take any artifact outside of its archaeological context, it loses something, it loses a sense of the space and the environment in which it was first excavated.”

So every museum in the world is filled with objects that are somehow less than they could have been.

Think their panties are twisted because of this particular museum.

Me too, if they can preserve it well.

Why take a chance of something happening to it. It’s priceless where it is now.

I have the same opinion about returning the Elgin marbles to Greece. Why take the chance, there are already too many under the Med.?

A prayer hall, huh?

Thanks nickcarraway.
