Box 1116 Douglas, Ga. 31534 912-384-6896 NEWSPAPERS PRAY FOR THE PEACE Of JERUSALEM Salvation Prayer If you have not made Jesus Christ Savior and Lord ... pray the following prayer in faith, and Jesus will be your Lord! Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” and “if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Acts 2:21; Romans 10:9). You said my salvation would be the result of Your Holy Spirit giving me new birth by coming to live in me (John 3:5-6, 15-16; Romans 8:9-11) and that if I would ask, You would fill me with Your Spirit and give me the ability to speak with other tongues (Luke 11:13; Acts 2:4). I take You at Your Word, I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead. Thank You for forgiving me of my sins, for coming into my heart, for giving me Your Holy Spirit as You have promised, and for being Lord over my life. Amen. Welcome into the Family of God MAKE a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Ps. 95:1 2. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath make us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Ps. 66:13 5. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. PSALM 100 A Psalm of praise. ... the Israel Antiquities Authority. Moriah Cohen, who works at the "Archaeological Experience" in Emek Tzurim, was the one to stumble upon the artifact. "I was sifting through the dirt and suddenly noticed a sherd with a strange decoration. Examining it closely, it looked to me to be cuneiform, but that seemed totally unreasonable," she said. Cohen, who says she was in disbelief, said she had to do a double-take to make sure it wasn't a decoration. "Even though so many fascinating finds have been discovered here over the years, we've never, ever found anything like this," she recounted. "For me personally, the thought that after 2,700 years, I am the first person to actually touch this pottery with my hands is a very exciting thought. This is a once-in-a-lifetime find." A video report from "City of David" reveals more details about the discovery: "And here we actually have a direct letter signed with the seal of the king of Assyria addressed to the king of Judah saying to him, 'Dear King of Judah, send the tribute quickly by the first of Av and if not the consequences will be severe.'" "Perhaps [it] describes a point of friction between the Kingdom of Judah the great Assyrian empire," explained Dr. Peter Zilberg of Bar-Ilan University about the artifact. Some researchers point to 2 Kings 18:7, which reads, "And he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him," as evidence of the conflict. Rotem shares more of the account, which begins 2 Kings 18:13, which details how King Sennacherib of Assyria marched against the fortified cities of Judah and seized them. "King Hezekiah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: 'I have done wrong; withdraw from me; and I shall bear whatever you impose on me,'" scriptures read. "So the king of Assyria imposed upon King Hezekiah of Judah a payment of 300 talents of silver and 30 talents of gold." "Know that our Bible is true," said Rotem. "And yes, you can trust the Bible." Zilberg, an Assyriologist, adds that this text, although incomplete, helps "connect the biblical narrative to historical sources... in such a strong way." "We have the connection between archeology, history, and science," he said. "This artifact is very, very important in connecting the history of the Land of Israel to the Bible and to the history of the ancient Near East as a whole." It's no wonder that people, not just in the archaeological world but those with a biblical world view, are marveling at the discovery. "This groundbreaking archeological discovery near the Temple Mount not only verifies what Scripture has told us for thousands of years, but it also reminds us that God's Word stands the test of time, and His promises to Israel are everlasting," said Ben Hilton, writing for The Israel Guys. u ROYAL INSCRIPTION - CON’T
