Ancient Seal Discovered in Jerusalem

 Archaeologists unearth proof of plot to kill Prophet Jeremiah

by Teresa Neumann : Aug 4, 2008 :

(Jerusalem)—Another ancient seal has been unearthed in Jerusalem by a team of Israeli archaeologists. Carried out under the auspices of the Hebrew University, the seal is said to be one that belonged to King Zedekiah. The find was said to corroborate the Biblical story of one of the king's ministers demanding the prophet Jeremiah be killed.
Ancient SealAccording to the report in Haaretz, "the seal impression, or bulla, with the name Gedalyahu ben Pashur, who served as minister to King Zedekiah (597-586 BC)... was found completely intact just meters away from a separate seal impression of another of Zedekia's ministers, Yehukual ben Shelemyahu, which was unearthed three years ago."

"Only rarely do archeologists come across findings of significant figures in history, which help lift the dust of history and bring the Biblical story to life in such a tangible way," said Professor Eilat Mazar of the Hebrew University, noting that the newly discovered seal is very clearly preserved.

The finding helps corroborate the story pertaining to the biblical minister's demand to have the prophet Jeremiah killed.
The seal impression, or bulla, with the name Gedalyahu ben Pashur, who served as minister to King Zedekiah (597-586 BCE) according to the Book of Jeremiah, was found completely intact just meters away from a separate seal impression of another of Zedekia's ministers, Yehukual ben Shelemyahu, which was unearthed three years ago.
Both ministers are mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 38 1-4) along with two other ministers when they came to King Zedekiah demanding the death of the prophet Jeremiah for preaching to the besieged city to surrender.

    For me, am particularly not moved by new discoveries to validate the Bible......as many that want the Bible to be a story book; to them it remaineth a story book......as many that GOD has given grace to have the BIBLE as the book of life; to them it it remaineth the book of life. Though the unearthing of such archaeological seal is good for the records. JESUS IS LORD.

Todd Bentley's Unholy Affair!

I know some of  you might not like /love me for this post , or might not even want to  visit my blog after this but , am addressing this Todd Bentley issue because of the fact that God has vindicated me and all those who asked this same question about Todd Bentley and His ways. Secondly to address the erroneous feeling that I in some way, am enjoying what is happening to Todd  Bentley and his Ministry.  . . far from that! In fact am  ashamed and sad that so - called Christians are busy deceiving  others and making it difficult for real Christians to do  the work of God Almighty in this day and age . . .  where the devil is pulling all the stops to make sure that Christians find things difficult in this life. The reason for  my  previous post was because I was baffled about his divorce and I wondered why a man who claimed to do  all those mighty things suddenly, wants out of his marriage to his  wife of many years . Even thou...

Todd Bentley, Divorcing His Wife!!!

I never knew I would write any article on Todd Bentley, because I deliberately avoided the topic while it was raging all over, even though my husband was very vocal against him and his group then, he is even telling me right now that he is not surprised about this piece of news . With this recent development in  Todd Bentley's marital life even, there are many questions that Christians need to search for the answers Spiritually and in the scriptures. . . also hold him accountable for the gospel he preached, especially if he is not living it. Enough about the people Preaching something else  and doing another, I wonder why some Spirit- filled men and women of God are not on TV? Money . . . I guess Separation May End Bentley’s Lakeland Appearances Todd Bentley , the evangelist who has led the Florida Outpouring revival here in Lakeland since April 2, has filed for separation from his wife and might not return to the revival, according to his former local spokesperson, Lynne...
