Simon/Peter's actual house Capernaum - The town of Jesus

Image
Capernaum contains the remains of a church from the fifth century AD which is octagonal in shape. In 1968, archaeologists discovered the remains of an earlier church underneath it. This had been built around what was originally a private house, which was apparently used by Christians as a meeting-place during the second half of the first century. Today a modern church exists, suspended above the site, with the excavation site visible through a glass floor. Peter Walker, professor of Biblical Studies at Trinity School for Ministry, says: “Graffiti that referred to Jesus as Lord and Messiah...provides strong evidence that the room was used as a place of Christian worship – almost certainly because it was believed to be the room used by Jesus, perhaps the home of Simon Peter (Luke 4:38)... Given that the early tradition goes back to the first century, this is almost certainly the very place where Jesus stayed – the home of his chief apostl

The Spirit of Baal in the end times - It is a sign of the end-times.

The Spirit of Baal in the end times written by Dean Smith Temple of Bel (Baal) at Palmyra, Syria before its destruction by ISIS in 2015 Credit: Egisto Sani/Flickr/Creative Commons A strange thing happened in 2016, a company manufactured full-scale 3-d replicas of the gates of a Temple of Baal that once stood in Palmyra, Syria. ISIS destroyed the 2,000 year old temple in 2015. They installed arches this past spring in Trafalgar Square in London, England and later on September 19, 2016 at Times Square in New York City. The 48′ foot arch from the Baal temple has certainly proved controversial. S ome wonder if it provided an opening or portal for the spirit of Baal in these two countries, much in the same way the building of temples for Baal and Asherah would have done in ancient Israel when Queen Jezebel set them up. In his article proposing this on Charisma News, author Michael Snyder suggests the setting up of the arch may have contributed to the ris

Burial Cave, Beautiful Garden & Jerusalem Walls...

Mishkenot Sheananim was the first Jewish neighborhood outside the Old City walls, and is home to a lot of Israeli history – and myth Ron Peled, AllAboutJerusalem.com     At the Bloomfield Garden, behind the King David Hotel and next to the French consulate, there is a burial cave with an intact rolling stone. The cave belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church, and the entrance is closed off. Although it is known as Herod’s family tomb, his remains have not been found there (or anywhere else). We will apparently never know the real story of the cave discovered by Conrad Schick, a 19th-century archeologist who worked in Jerusalem and concluded, based on the writings of Josephus, that this was the Herod family tomb.   King Da
