- Image discovered in Roman Catacomb.
Vatican archaeologists using laser technology have found what is believed to be the oldest known image of St. Paul the Apostle, dating back to the 4th century. This found in the catacomb walls beneath Rome.
The discovery, which involved removing layers of clay and limestone using lasers, was announced a day before Rome observes a religious holiday for the Feasts of St Peter and St Paul. Both Peter and Paul are revered by Christians as the greatest early missionaries. Converting on the road to Damascus following a blinding vision of Jesus, Paul took the Gospel to pagan Greeks and Romans and met his martyrdom in Rome in about 65 AD. (Just a side note for you scholarly types. It is said that Paul had trouble with his vision after this event. )
Friends, as I made reference to a few posts ago about the Ark and the rock quarry, the same holds true now. Buried and over looked by the big headlines of the day, comes a little blurb about another discovery with biblical connotation. Is it just me that see’s this stuff? Some may say I’m making a big deal out of this. But those who have eye’s to see and ear’s to hear, understand these subtle reminders. I ask you to seriously look around. Let this be a test over the next couple weeks. Especially now in these times we now live. Keep your eye’s open and be on watch for these blurbs.
When headlines flash in big print. MICHAEL JACKSON KING OF POP! NORTH KOREA THREATENS NUCLEAR STRIKE! US ECONOMY ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE! HONDURAN MILITARY OUSTS PRESIDENT! NOW HONDURAS ON THE BRINK! – comes a little blurb in the shadows of these big headlines. A short small blip of St. Paul beneath the Roman catacombs.
The more crazy and turbulent this world get’s, you shall begin to see more and more “discoveries” with biblical implication. A message or slight nudge on the shoulder to those who hold to Christian faith? A slap in the face to those who have been asleep such as I ?
But just as Rabbi Chaim Richman stated in regard to the rock quarry discovery a few day’s ago;
Precisely now, when the Moslems are trying to erase all vestiges of the presence of our Holy Temple, and when even among our own leaders there is a trend towards giving it away and viewing it as an unnecessary burden – precisely now, with this discovery, G-d is sending the Jewish People a kiss, as if to say, ‘Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten you.
And yes, precisely now, when we have Muslims hell bent on forcing it’s zealous doctrine on all western civilization. Unable to call a Muslim terrorist a terrorist, for not wanting to enrage a Muslim terrorist! Being held hostage, walking on egg shell’s in your own country careful not to bring the fury of some fanatic upon you. And when our own President white-washing the Christian nation he lead’s. Down playing this nation’s Christian foundation from our Constitution. Hiding symbol’s within a Christian church, as if to see if he could do it and get away with it. Saying things like ‘ We are not a Christian nation anymore, but now looking at it, we are one of the biggest Muslim nations in the world’. Precisely now with this discovery, God is sending the Christian people a kiss, as if to say; ” Don’t worry, I have not forsaken thee”. Continue Reading »
