Is This What the Third Temple Will Look Like?

Is This What the Third Temple Will Look Like?  

The ancient soil of the land of Israel continues to provide thrilling surprises for archeologists and Bible historians.

For example, a few weeks ago a hiker walking a trail in the Galilee region of northern Israel noticed a shiny object in the grass beside the trail and picked it up. As it turned out, recent rains had unearthed a 2,000-year-old gold coin bearing the image of Caesar Augustus, who ruled the Roman Empire when Yeshua (Jesus) was born. The astonished antiquities experts who examined it believe it to be the only surviving example ever found.

Previously in this update, I brought your attention to a remarkable archeological find in Israel on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee—the ancient ruins of the community of Magdala.

Last year, excavations revealed the ancient Jewish community’s synagogue, which would have been standing in Yeshua’s time. Biblical historians believe Yeshua would have attended and taught there.

This last week, the dig revealed new and exciting artifacts, including a bronze, ceremonial incense shovel (in Hebrew a mahta) and a ceremonial water pot.

In the middle of the synagogue’s main hall, a stone was uncovered, now known as the Magdala Stone. It depicts the Second Temple of Jerusalem, with a carved seven-branched menorah on one of its sides.

These exciting discoveries serve as unique reminders that the Jewish People have been tied to the Land of Israel for millennia, and that we need to do everything we can to support them and the nation of Israel in this time of surging hostility and hate.
