Absolutely fascinating to learn the reason for the Psalms of Ascent! I wish growing up as a Catholic we were taught about the Rituals of Judaism and the Old Testament so we could understand the New Testament's meaning. They never made any sense to me because of poor explanations without the Jewish context. I only just learned that Easter is the Sunday after Passover, yet the priests of the Church still don't explain it like that. So much to learn!

[@michaelweymouth4015]

Watch “before the wrath” on KZbin. Michael Rood, Nehemia Gordon, and other teachers go over the Hebrew Yeshua for understanding of Old Testament translations and 2/3 of Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ) teachings were around Galilean culture. The video will just pop with understanding of what the words meant. In school I was taught you have to understand the zeitgeist (spirit of the times) in which a book was written to help understand the comments and practices better. God bless

[@Tawadeb]

Agree

[@toosiyabrandt8676]

Hi Easter is a pagan fertility goddess feast on a Solstice calendar! PASSOVER is on the prophetic BIBLICAL CALENDAR that Jesus Yeshua is fulfilling starting with Him being ‘ The spotless Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world’ and RETURNING to reign over the world from Jerusalem on the feast of TABERNACLES! ‘ Come out of her ( mystery Babylon) my people lest ye receive of her plagues, ( At the return of Christ).

6:15 what I don’t understand though is how the pilgrims would have traveled from the Siloam pool to the Temple Mount before this road was built. I’ve heard Joe Uziel talk about how coins were found under the pilgrimage road that dates its construction to after 30 AD. Not to mention the fact that a sewer drain ran underneath the road, how would that not be defiling? As the road appears to have been built by the Romans, perhaps “Roman Road” would be a better name?

Are you escavating the Pool of Siloam are building it? Why are tractors being used? There are pictures all over the Internet of heavy machinery being used. That’s not archeology or escavation, it’s development.

[@armstrongstinstitute]

We explain this in the interview.

[@colevt]

They attempted to explain it, but not in any acceptable way. “We are removing the top soil to get to the the archeological part” isn’t really justification. The reason why there is so much chatter online about using tractors and heavy machinery is because they don’t belong in archaeology.

[@armstrongstinstitute]

@@colevt There is absolutely nothing wrong with removing topsoil with a machine. There is absolutely no justification to use a spade and trowel when no architectural remains are present yet. This is standard practice.

[@colevt]

@@armstrongstinstitute How do you know that no archeological remains are there if you’ve only had access to the site for months? It doesn’t take an archeologist to know that you don’t start the archeological process with a tractor. Anyone willing to do the slightest amount of research or anyone willing to critically think will know that your “standard procedure” comment is just wrong. I’ve been to the City of David and enjoyed the sights I saw. I’m was excited to hear that the Pool of Siliom was being uncovered. However, there is a right and wrong way to do things. It sounds to me like you are under a time crunch and are willing to do anything to finish in a timely manner and draw more tourist to the sight. It’s unfortunate the lengths you are willing to go to finish the project. This doesn’t seem scholarly. It seems like the opening of an attraction at an amusement park.

They are saying the Western Wall is the wall of the Temple but there is also a theory that the Temple was in the city of David (and not on the Temple Mount). The thing that makes sense to me in the second theory is the question of the location of the Roman fortress in Jerusalem. The dimensions of the Temple Mount match tradition Roman fort construction. The descriptions in the New Testament and Josephus describe the Roman fort as above that of the Temple. Since the Temple Mount is, though, the highest point then where was the Roman fort located?

[@KenJackson_US]

I saw a video that went into detail explaining how there's no way possible that the Temple was in the City of David. They also discussed the Roman fort.
