Cave Inscription Reveals Archaeological Evidence for Jesus

Out of all the trees to grow up out of the cave a fig tree bearing fruit for Jesus. I remember a fig tree Jesus rebuked that would never bear fruit again. Amazing!

[@LateNightRewrites]

Wow... I didn't notice that. A simple sign in front of a simple inscription that screams with meaning to those who know His word.

[@DaleBrose]

Does that fig tree look 1800 years old to you? I can't imagine it would be too hard for someone to plant it there to provide theater.

[@colemansquestforthehunt6423]

Dale you obviously didn't get it. The cave has the earliest written name Jesus inside, a fig tree guards the entrance. All I meant ironic a fig tree out of all the trees that could of grown up there. I remember a story Jesus was hungry for figs came upon a fig tree with no fruit and he rebuked it saying may you never bear fruit again. While passing upon bye that fig tree again his apostles noticed the fig tree Jesus rebuked had died from the roots up. Not that this tree in the vidoes is that tree. Shows how much you've paid attention to what is written in those scriptures.

[@DaleBrose]

@@colemansquestforthehunt6423 Im very familiar with that story you mention. Jesus rebuked a fig tree even though he had full knowledge that figs were not in season. But this video is attempting to present actual evidence of something being true and not just a story, which is all the new testament is. So use the reasoning in your brain that was given to you. It would be pretty easy for someone to plant a fig tree there, I doubt it was some sort of miracle or by chance. But it looks like a sign to those too eager to believe and not think.

[@RunFool]

In pain, in suffering, in joy, in peace, in fear, in courage, in the sick bed, in the high place, where ever you are, what ever is happening around you or to you - behold, Jesus is Present! Don't be afraid. Oh may your Kingdom come quickly my Lord!

The Supremacy of the Son of God - Colossians 1 - 15 : 23 "15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation- 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant." Hosanna to the King of Kings! 👑+✝️+🔥 The Holy Triune

I really appreciate this. I'd almost consider this evidence of the resurrection and deity of Christ. To say "Jesus is here" is to say Jesus died and did not stay dead, but rose and is here as an omnipresent being.

[@mrhyde7600]

But it doesn’t say any of these things. Other possibilities: 1 That CHRISTIANITY is here 2 A guy named Jesus was buried there 3 This is ONE OF the supposed burial sites of Jesus, as there are several of them even today 4 A kid doing graffiti Coming 2 centuries after the supposed events, it canNOT be historical evidence of anything other than the BELIEF in Jesus at BEST. It is historically impossible to prove a miracle since history works from the most likely explanation, and by definition a miracle is the least likely thing to occur.

[@davidrobinson5180]

@@mrhyde7600 Interesting theories! 1. Possible, if it said "Christianity", not "Jesus". 2. Possible, but why the crosses? And where's the ossuary, bones, or slab for burial? 3. The inscription is from 200 AD. Jesus was killed in 33 AD. So it's too late for this. 4. What difference does age of the person making the inscription, or grafitti, make to you?

[@mrhyde7600]

@@davidrobinson5180 Well, 1 people still say things similar to this, to this day and in other parts of the world. But should we conclude that Jesus was actually there? Was Jesus actually interacting with them? Any more so than in any other church in the world? I kind of doubt that. 2 Why are there crosses at cemeteries for people who are not named Jesus? 3 No it’s not. After Christianity gained the endorsement of Rome, lots of holy sites were conveniently discovered, so if anything it was too early. 4 The age does not matter one bit. This was a throwaway possibility demonstrating the fact that there are several more options than the very narrow interpretations you applied to it. These are only powerful pieces of evidence if you have already concluded that those things are true and you are seeking further evidence for them. An unbiased observation would allow you to see the possibilities I have presented.

[@lawrencestanley8989]

@@mrhyde7600 Couple this with the contemporary accounts of Jesus and what he said and did, as well as the location of the cave and the persecution that was taking place at the time, and it's EXTREMELY compelling evidence, especially when we see other extremely early carvings such as the Alexamenos Graffito that dates from the late 1st to the 3rd century AD also depicting Jesus connected with the cross.

[@mrhyde7600]

@@lawrencestanley8989 1:55 the guy states that the inscription is from around 200 CE, which according to the story would be 170 years after his death. At the very best it would indicate the presence of Christianity, not that a demigod had a virgin for a mom to centuries prior. What Jesus said and did, according to the gospels? That’s assuming I’ll accept the gospels as accurate history, which I don’t. But even if I agreed Jesus said everything the gospels say he said, a 200 year later inscription that says “Jesus present“ doesn’t back up any of those words. Answer this if you would: if we found an inscription that said “this is where Gabriel spoke to Mohammed”, would that be evidence for Islam?

The veneration of the cross as a symbol, still common today, is only documented from the 4th century, the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great. Before that it was The Fish or Ancor & 2 Dolphin (Appolo) Revised to Ancor & 2 fish. Cross & 2 fish. It has a very traceable path. You do know Archaeologists have unearthed the tombs of 71 Yeshua's from the period of Jesus' death. This is not one. There may have been a Jesus failed messiah, but it means nothing.

[@todddavidmoore]

Thanks for these KZbin videos, Joel. (My wife and I also read and appreciated your book.) Regarding the translation, the first word is definitely the name for Jesus. The second word appears literally as “οδε” in Greek. I am not an expert - not even close. However, it seems that, although lexically, this word is defined as “an entity regarded as relatively present in terms of the discourse setting,” in practice, it doesn’t simply translate as “present” in the translations (that I checked). Rather, if it is translated at all, translators seem to often represent it like a pronoun such as “this” or “this one.” I looked at examples in the Greek OT (LXX), including the exact lexical form as found in Exodus 8:25, 17:6; Lev 10:16; Num 23:6, 17. Yet, the references did not clarify the meaning at all (to me), especially of the translation of “present.” I also noted, for what it is worth, the lexical form “οδε” in the LXX is always followed by some other main verb. I did attempt to consider an alternative translation. Even though I would not say this was a successful effort, another attempt might make note of the following observations: 1) The inscription reads “Ιεσους” instead of how it reads in NT Greek (“Ιησοῦς”). So, the writer substituted an ε instead of an η (and this is likely due to a Romanized style). 2) That being the case, then “οδε” could likely also be the commonly Romanized version of the Greek “ᾠδή” (the noun, meaning “ode”). As I am sure you know, an ode is an ancient lyrical “song” of praise that occurs very often in the LXX. E.g. Many psalms are introduced as “an ode/song by (or pertaining to) David.” Sometimes, depending on the context, the word is also translated as “singer(s)” e.g., 1Chron 15:22. If we tentatively grant the Romanized form of the noun “ode/song,” then we have the name “Jesus” plus the noun for “song/singer.” Yet, problematically, there is no verb. In this case, the inscription does not make good sense if the verb “to be” is implied (“Jesus is/was/will be a song/singer.”) Certainly the noun proposal would have made a little more sense if the word order had been reversed and with the dative case (Ιησοῦ) “A song to Jesus” The Greek “ᾄδω” is the verb form “to sing.” As an aside, both words occur together in Rev 14:3 (“they sing a new song”). Although the verbal form would fit the context better (basically “praise Jesus”), the actual written form of the inscription seems too different to allow for this idea. It would not follow the observed pattern of letter substitution noted above either. Another (even less likely, but still worth mentioning) Romanized candidate might have been "αδων" (i.e., the Greek noun Adon, which transliterates the Hebrew name for Lord). Thus “Jesus is Lord.” However, again, it seems the inscribed form is too different from the Greek noun for “lord.” So, all that said, although the inscription was clear to the original Christian writer/audience, I wish I was more convinced about the translation. I would be appreciative of further clarification if available. Certainly, doubt about the exact translation doesn’t take away from the major premise of the video as archaeological evidence for early Christian belief in Jesus.

[@justinhemion6279]

This just came to me while reading your comment referring to the translation of "this one" "this" and the Word which translates as "JESUS"... But for so.e reason this phrase INSTANTLY "came" to mind... perhaps the proper translation is... "Jesus IS One".... That said... may HE whom IS "EVER present" bless all whom sees this .

[@ksr622002]

The old testament was not written in Greek.

[@ExpeditionBible]

Hi Todd, In a nutshell the inscription has what are called "lunate forms" of Epsilon and Eta, and a more simplified Iota. The inscription is a variant spelling of the name Jesus that substitutes an Epsilon with Eta. This variant is known (some from the Galilee) and there are many parallels as there also are for the lunate forms and simplified Iota from the Greek name of Jesus found in many other inscriptions. The full title of the article about this inscription is as follows: A Greek Inscription: "Jesus is Present" of the Late Roman Period at Beth Loya by Titus Kennedy.

“Jesus is present” is a reference to the Eucharist. Those first Christians were celebrating mass in the underground cave.

[@dannymcneal]

Another purpose for Jesus coming down from heaven is to live an exampled life, so we would know what God’s ideal, His goal for shaping disciples into the image of His Son. Peter wrote, “For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving us an example for you to follow in His steps,” (1 Pet. 2:21) Paul wrote, “and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.” (Rom 8:17) If we’re living our lives, while claiming to be disciples of Christ, yet do everything we can to avoid the suffering that comes because we’re disciples, then we’re not following Christ’s example at all. If you want to know what your own life is to look like before God, look to Jesus. So it’s not just about salvation for me, but living my life in such a way as to share this salvation with others.

[@paxonearth]

I'm a Christian, but stating that this is actual evidence of his existence is wishful thinking. It's cool, but at best it only proves that a Christian carved something into the cave wall. If I carve "Spiderman Is Here" into a wall, it shouldn't "prove" to later generations that Spiderman is real.

[@mikecason]

Your carving would prove that the concept of "Spiderman" existed at the time that you carved it. And if you had carved it in the 1960s it would show that the idea of Spiderman had travelled a great distance over a short period of time and had a significant impact on you. It would still have archaeological significance for understanding the reach and impact and importance of Spiderman at that time. With the wealth of evidence to the actual existence of the man named Jesus this finding just further strengthens the validity of (1) Jesus being important to people at an early date, (2) Jesus having been crucified, (3) his followers believed he was alive. This is evidence for the existence of Jesus even if it doesn't "prove" it on its own. Evidence only points to the truth, we have to rationally follow all of the evidence to come to the most logical conclusions.

The willingness to believe every piece of 'evidence' has clouded some peoples mind here, I am kind of shocked and appalled by the comments. Peer tested, scientific reviews are something I feel some Jesus fanatics have never heard of. I am not saying Jesus did not exist at all, but was he the "son of god", or "holy entity".. not likely... and in a time where people were very easily mislead it doesnt take a genius to realize the story was likely over embellished. Look how many of you are easily mislead by this video for example.. so quick to believe in this... Also funny how miracles, super natural powers and visits from God were common place, and now what? He is just being silent for 2000 years? All the sudden we have cameras in our pockets and no more miracles? Basic common sense, science, and historical evidence tells us that humans were very creative at telling stories.... sometimes true, sometimes not true. Also stories overtime become fragmented, has no one here every played "Telephone"? By the time you get to the end the story is very fragmented.. combined that game over thousands of years.... When I ask most believers why they believe, its almost always the same answer "well you will have to answer to someone when you die", humans are built to be afraid of death. Thats how we survive. The only thing to be scared of is dedicating your entire life to a 2000 year old fragmented story. Either way, if god does not accept you because you didnt believe this mess, he isnt the one you need to be worshiping in the first place. One last point while I am here, all these people that use this kind of typing "oh my lord and savior, kind god jesus thank you".... God was incredibly ruthless murderer, its in the bible that most of you haven't even bothered to open. Let me leave you with this gem of "God" killing a man because he picked up wood sticks on the sabbath... This is not someone I would want to associate myself with..... "Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation; and they put him in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. - Numbers 15: 32-36 (NASB)" ^^ This is not a holy god, this is a crazed killer with seriously bad judgement ^^
