Close to the end of the article, look at the spelling of the name of God as it was written centuries ago.

[Old Professer]

Thousands of years from now, archeologists may marvel at the finally deciphered meaning of "Made in Malaysia."

[aBootes]

bump for a good find.

Yeah, I have a real love-hate relationship with the Times. Articles like this are part of the "love" side of the equation.

I wonder if anyone will ever find the small chips of silicon that I inscribed with the Lord's Prayer, the inscriptions were 2.0 microns in size.

[Gal.5:1]

do you mean this part:
" It reads: "May h[e]/sh[e] be blessed by YHWH,"

Yes, I know about that. It is God's name, "I AM the One who is", the active, self existant One who is. It's only used about 6,823 times in the O.T. (the Law and the Prophets).

Jesus' name, Y'Shua(Hebrew) or Yeshua (Aramaic) means, "Yahweh is salvation."

oh, by the way, may the LORD(YHWH) bless you.
