Crucifixion was a horrible way to die. It was so bad that no Roman citizen could be crucified. It was an execution reserved for slaves and bandits...

Umm... And since it's Hanukkah... about 500 Jewish defenders of Jerusalem, daily, during the siege of 70, and many before, and many scores more in the years after...

NISUS: Crucifixion?

MR. CHEEKY: Ah, no. Freedom.

JAILER: Hmm?

NISUS: What?

MR. CHEEKY: Eh, freedom for me. They said I hadn't done anything, so I could go free and live on an island somewhere.

NISUS: Oh. Oh, well, that's jolly good. Well, off you go, then.

MR. CHEEKY: Naa, I'm only pulling your leg. It's crucifixion, really.

NISUS: Oh, ho ho.

MR. CHEEKY: Heh heh heh hehh.

NISUS: I see. Uh, very good. Very good. Well, out of the door. One--

MR. CHEEKY: Yeah. I know the way. Out of the door.

NISUS: Line on--

MR. CHEEKY: One cross each. Line on the left.

NISUS: Line on the left.

MR. CHEEKY: Heh heh.

NISUS: Yes. Thank you. Crucifixion?

PRISONER #4: Yes.

NISUS: Good.

Provenance? Without that it’s just an old piece of metal.

LOL - dfwgator beat ya to it above!

On a side note, Pontius Pilate gets to appear in front of Jesus.

I doubt washing his hands are going to be an option, next time.

I don’t know if that’s the old switcheroo, or the goose / gander thing.

Why would a Roman emperor have a ring inscribed in Greek?

Greek was the common language of the day.

The background of the antiquity “business” in Israel is quite interesting.

Pontius Pilate, who ordered Jesus Christ's crucifixion

In the New Testament of the Bible, a reluctant Pilate is pressured by the demands of the Jewish crowd to order Jesus’ crucifixion.

Thank you for the clarification.

The ring was apparently used as a stamping ring in day to day work, with the governor or one of his officials using it to sign his name.

Pilate's assistant was named Radarus

12/2/2018 was the 24th day of the 9th month, in the second year of Trump’s presidency, as the Father tells time.

Haggai 2:10
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Haggai..

Yesterday, 12/2/2018 to the world,was an anniversary of that day Haggai received Word..

He goes on further.. and this is what is interesting!

Haggai 2:20
The word of the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month: 21 “Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am going to shake the heavens and the earth. 22 I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.

23 “‘On that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

So,on the 24th day of the 9th month, in the 2nd year of Trump (12/2/2018 to the world) , the world gets news of a signet ring affiliated with Pontius Pilate, a former governor of Judah.

The anniversary of Haggai receiving Word probably isn’t a date people circle on the calendar, but our Sovereign gave meaning to that date and meaning to Trump’s 2nd year- even if the world can’t fully see it.

For His Glory!
