When I heard that an ancient site that is connected to one of my favorite stories in the Bible was on ISIS’s list for destruction, I was discouraged. But when I found out what was discovered after the destruction, I was encouraged. When I was determined to see with my own two eyes the archeological evidence that matched the biblical message, I was ecstatic and made my way to Nineveh, in Biblical Iraq.

This week's Prophets portion is a repeat of an earlier portion. The portion for Noach covering Isaiah 54:1-55:5 is read a second time on two subsequent Sabbaths: Isaiah 54:11-55:5 for the portion of Re'eh and Isaiah 54:1-10 for the portion of Ki Teitzei. Rather than record three separate programs on the same section of the Prophets, we decided to re-post the discussion from earlier in the year covering this week's Prophets portion. Enjoy!

There is a 2500-year-old clay cylinder that provides a peek into ancient society and biblical prophecy unlike any other artifact found in Babylon. It is so significant that it is the symbol for modern-day Iran. Its message informed the Founding Fathers in their creation of the United States of America, and its authority fulfilled the prophecy of the return of exiles to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.

Have you ever wondered what the Gospel of Matthew was like before translators and theologians got hold of it? We now have documents that answer this question! And by the way, they are written in Hebrew—the language in which Matthew wrote his gospel!

For hundreds of years, 28 ancient Hebrew manuscripts of Matthew have been locked away in libraries around the world. Now, like prying open oysters and harvesting their treasures, our groundbreaking Hebrew Gospel Pearls studies are opening these manuscripts and bringing the pearls to the surface for all to see their value!

Studying these documents raises questions we didn’t even know we needed to ask and provides answers that have eluded readers for centuries. At last, we can set aside what translators and theologians want us to think and focus on what Matthew intended us to understand.

No one else is doing anything like this! Don’t miss this unique opportunity to encounter the Gospel of Matthew “B.T.T.” (before translators and theologians). We believe these ancient manuscripts have a message for us today!
