Are artefacts discovered in a remote cave the secret writings about the last years of Jesus? | Mail Online

Fragments of the Dead Sea scrolls on display a...Image via Wikipediahttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1368252/Are-artefacts-discovered-remote-cave-secret-writings-years-Jesus.html?ITO=1490
Artefacts discovered in a remote cave in Jordan could hold a contemporary account of the last years of Jesus.
The find of scrolls and 70 lead codices - tiny credit-card-sized volumes containing ancient Hebrew script talking of the Messiah and the Resurrection - has excited biblical scholars.
Much of the writing is in code, but experts have deciphered images, symbols and a few words and the texts could be 2,000 years old.

Margaret Barker, former president of the Society of Old Testament Study, is wary of confirming their authenticity but added that if genuine then the books could be 'vital and unique' evidence of the earliest Christians
Some academics are sceptical about the discovery because there have been numerous hoaxes and sophisticated fakes produced over the years.
Many of the codices are sealed which suggests that they could be secret writings referred to in the apocryphal Book of Ezra - an appendage to some versions of the Bible.
Texts have been written on little sheets of lead bound together with wire.
The treasure trove was found five years ago by an Israeli Bedouin and may have been around since the 1st century, around the time of Jesus's crucifixion and Resurrection.
A number of experts have examined the writings, including Margaret Barker, a former president of the Society for Old testament Study with a renowned knowledge of early Christian studies.
She told the Sunday Times how the intrigue surrounding the artefacts was similar to the black market secrecy with the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls.

Obama, "I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior"

Official presidential portrait of Barack Obama...Image via WikipediaAs I have watched the actions from this man the past few years, and then hear this speech. All I can do is shake my head and wonder. If this is actually true, how in the world can he pass so many laws and push so many anti-biblical movements and organizations throughout the past 2 years?
So many times I have tried to understand how in the world can any man pass and push laws through to take away not just our Freedoms but our Rights given to us by the Forefathers of our great Nation.
Written in the Bible and the Constitution of the United States of America?

I'm not going to go into much detail on all this YET! Those who know Our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen what this man has done so far.
Though I pray for him daily still. I still have the Hope that somehow he may wake up and see what he has done. I know that God wishes no one to burn with satan. That includes Obama. Though I also know that the Antichrist can never be saved.
I can only hope and pray his words here might be true somehow and not just written on a piece of paper as he reads it here. If Obama is truly saved. We will be able to tell by the fruit that he bears forth.

In this case Mr. Obama. Your Actions the next 2 years will show us all how much of Jesus Christ is in you. I so want to see the Christ in you more than the Excutive, dictatorship orders you have been shoving among the American People.
In this speech, Obama says point blank. "I came to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior? Take the time as a Christian and see it for yourself.

As much as I would like to talk about this and the actions on this. I figure the best way to say this. Is Let Jesus Christ say it Himself.
Not my words but His.

Matthew 7
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

I Never Knew You.

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Build on the Rock

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

As much as I keep saying Obama could be one of the greatest Presidents ever. I find the only way that could ever happen now is to remove most of what he has done already and start living by the Actions Jesus Christ shows us all. As a leader of a Nation built on Christ Himself. Shouldn't we have more freedoms in schools, businesses, churches, parks and throughout the entire nations laws to help our society come back to Christ more than making it more being removed from all the above and more? Shouldn't God's own laws be a major priority as it was back when this Nation was started?
What's worse is since Obama has taken office. We find Islam having much more freedoms of Religion that More Christians loosing all freedoms. If this is true. Stop covering up Christ because islam might be offended. Start reading not just the Old Testament but the New as well.

Know this Mr. Obama. I will continue to pray for you. It's up to God and yourself to really begin to act on it. We can hope and pray that you are really listening to Christ and not just acting like you are.

Muslims Furious Over Israeli Decision to Highlight Ancient Link

Dome of the RockImage by Jungle_Boy via Flickr

Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial on the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

(CNSNews.com) – A decision by the Israeli government to include a location with an almost 4,000 year-old link to the origins of Judaism in a list of 150 national heritage sites has sparked an uproar among Muslims – and drawn the disapproval of the Obama administration.

Two days after Palestinian Authority (P.A.) chairman Mahmoud Abbas warned during a visit to Brussels that it could ignite a “religious war,” Palestinians clashed Thursday with Israeli soldiers in Hebron. The radical Palestinian group Islamic Jihad has called for a “day of anger” on Friday.

The Old Testament also records that Hebron was the capital of the kingdom of Israel for seven years before King David moved to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5). Rabbis consider the Cave of the Patriarchs the second holiest site in Judaism, after the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Hebron as a city is also one of Judaism’s four holy cities, the others being Jerusalem, Tiberias and Tzfat.
