Messianic Bibles for Israel 18/02/2011

In Jerusalem a tablet, three-foot-tall with 87 lines written in Hebrew is believed by scholars to date back to decades just before the Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) birth. It is still causing quite a stir worldwide with biblical and archaeology scholars, because it speaks about a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days.

The tablet was found near the Dead Sea on the Jordanian side and it is a rare finding of a stone with ink writings from that time era. Some describe it as a type of Dead Sea Scroll written on stone.

The authenticity of the Tablet has not faced any challenge.

The owner of the stone, David Jeselsohn, an Israeli-Swiss collector said: “I couldn’t make much out of it when I got it.” Jeselsohn, himself an expert in antiquities. “I didn’t realize how significant it was until I showed it to Ada Yardeni, who specializes in Hebrew writing, a few years ago. She was overwhelmed. ‘You have got a Dead Sea Scroll on stone,’ she told me.”

Much of the text, a vision of the apocalypse transmitted by the angel Gabriel, draws on the Old Testament, especially the prophets Daniel, Zechariah and Haggai.

 According to the NY Times article, Ms. Yardeni, who analyzed the stone along with Binyamin Elitzur, is an expert on Hebrew script, especially of the era of King Herod, who died in 4 B.C. The two of them published a long analysis of the stone more than a year ago in Cathedra, a Hebrew-language quarterly devoted to the history and archaeology of Israel, and said that, based on the shape of the script and the language, the text dated from the late first century B.C.

Lines 19 through 21 of the “Gabriel” Tablet contain words, which translated read: “In three days you will know that evil will be defeated by justice.” And there are other lines that speak of blood and slaughter as pathways to justice.

Line 80 of the tablet begins with the words “L’shloshet yamin,” meaning “in three days,” but then fades. Some scholars believe the next word is Hebrew for “live,” and then, “In three days you shall live, I, Gabriel, command you.”

Here is more proof that we can tell our Jewish people about, showing that Yeshua is the Messiah.

It seems that in these last days, the Lord is continually opening up signs for our people to see that Yeshua is the suffering servant as expressed in Isaiah 53, and that this and other Messianic prophecies, truly are about a suffering Jewish Messiah.
