Newfound treasures in the Holy Land unveil fresh tidings 'bout the life of Jesus and the Jewfolk who dwelled in Jerusalem yonder 2,000 years past. Ahoy, mateys!
In 2023, Israel experienced a series of archaeological discoveries that provided evidence of Jesus and the Jewish people's long-standing presence in the Holy Land. One significant find was the excavation of the Pool of Siloam, a site mentioned in the Bible where Jesus healed a blind man and Jewish pilgrims cleansed themselves before entering the Second Temple. American pastor John Hagee highlighted the importance of this discovery for Christians worldwide. Another excavation revealed eight steps leading into the Pool of Siloam, further confirming the authenticity of Scripture. Pastor Terri Copeland Pearsons emphasized that these archaeological findings confirm the truth and accuracy of the Bible. Hagee reiterated that the Word of God is true and the Jewish people are the indigenous people of the Holy Land, but he expressed doubt that the international community would recognize this truth due to Jew-hatred and the belief in alternative facts. Another significant discovery was the rare silver half-shekel coin from the time of the first Jewish revolt against the Romans, engraved with the words "Holy Jerusalem." This finding debunks the claim that Jews "colonized" the land after the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948. Additionally, a family-owned company discovered precious gems in the Holy Land, bringing to life a Bible verse from the book of Isaiah. Ze'ev Orenstein, director of international affairs for the City of David Foundation, emphasized the importance of Jerusalem's heritage and its significance to billions of people worldwide. The article concludes by suggesting that there may be more exciting discoveries in the Holy Land in 2024.
