"The name Nathan doesn't seem to denote something that is given (as NOBSE Study Bible Name List suggests with the meaning of Gift), but rather an active form of the verb: He Will Give.

As a teacher, I can't begin to tell you how heartwarming this particular video is. Sometimes, the Nathan's that frustrate us to no end turn out to be our richest blessings. Dr. Barkay's story is tremendously touching. How his father used to bless him in Hebrew, and the Lord led Dr. Barklay to find the 1st temple period scrolls inscribed with the priestly benediction in the oldest Hebrew form is an awesome work that ONLY GOD can do. This video brought me to chills and to tears. It is by far my favorite.

[@michaelpacnw2419]

Well, it's now been robbed and looted.. and we literally learned nothing from it. Did anyone doubt that Jews worshipped God in Jerusalem in the time of Jeremiah? He did the same exact thing he complains about people doing in ancient times. He desecrated graves for fancy trinkets. It makes no difference that he has the title of "Dr." to the people who wished to be buried with those items for eternity. I am surprised the Jewish government allows this type of thing to happen to the graves of their own people.

Speak of the Bible, about "Father and I are One " If i said my mother and I are one, does that mean I am my mother? No! It means I'm like my mother. Jesus is like his Father, same image. If Jesus is the Father, why does bible saying jesus sitting at the right side of God? Why didn't Jesus sit on God's throne if he is God? Hebrews 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty Is Jesus under God's curse? Because Deuteronomy 21:3 says the body shall not remain all night on the tree (cross) , but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God. Is Jesus Christ really the Son of God? Because in Luke 3:38 it says Adam is son of God. "Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." In Exodus 4:22 Israel is God's firstborn son. " Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, Israel is my firstborn son " I'm proud to be Marminshael (Believer of El). I love my religion. I love my God Elaha ( El for short, Elaha is known as Allah in the Arabic language) This is my religion. Bowing down to the One God, not 3 as One God. And not eat pork, and cover head when praying. My religion is similar to the Islamic religion.

Come over and see for yourself, It's really interesting and fun and beautiful and educating. For normal Israelis (Jews) who read the Bible not as something ancient and remote - but like everyday newspaper, or history book or law-book -- the language is the same and we read it quite fluently (with the exception of few words here and there that are a little puzzling - but in the end they're few, and the contexts is overwhelmingly well understood) For us - who try to persuade the world that tries to explain to us how "this is Palestine", is just... well... ridiculous. We know the names of each stone there... We wrote this book and never forgot a word of it, and now that we're back on this land, is rings a bell with every step you make. It's home!

Hi Scout ~ There have been a few. Recently, there were 3 new online and TV shows depicting a discovery of ANOTHER metal scroll found by a combined team of archeologists. The Head of this discovery was an American who lead a team with a number of Israeli and foreign scholars over a several year “resifting” of dump piles at a well known excavation site in Israel. They uncovered an incredible number of artifacts with the use of new technological methods. One such episode was released by “Unbelievable” …an UK KZbin channel. Another was released by FIRST CENTURY FOUNDATIONS…a Canadian online channel. It was also documented on ONE FOR ISRAEL…an online Israeli channel. All of these are great CHRISTIAN KZbin channels - offering skeptics, nonbelievers, and Christians alike, interesting topics. If you are searching for a TV option…Associates for Biblical Research (ABR) has likely offered a TV episode about this latest discovery of which I speak, as the Head/Lead of the excavation is both a part of ABR and an American at a seminary in Texas by the name of Dr. Scott Stripling.

This morning when I woke up I saw that my clock read 6:24 which reminded me of Numbers 6:24-26. Later in the morning I went to check out KZbin and chose to watch this video, Then around the 11 minute mark I heard that the scrolls translated to the Aaronic priestly blessing! I will definitely be meditating on this! A Quick note to Dr. Barkay...concerning your annoying assistant Nathan...the name Nathan means "Gift of God" !!!

[@davidrobinson5180]

Barkay is a wonderful guy. I spoke with him while he waited for a taxi in Jerusalem one day. He talked with me about the importance including your wife in some of the aspects of your job, so that you two don't grow apart. This guy walks around Jerusalem and sees random things from ancient times in the dirt. He cites the Bible better than most pastors.

Yes, a field archeologist can teach you to see things in the lay of the land, just like field hydrologists and geologists learn to understand small clues in the land, or the currents of water. A good skill to learn for anyone.

[@TheIndecisiveWigWearer]

What a beautiful story from the archeologist about his father blessing him.

[@JanTrewhitt]

What a wonderful discovery!! Why has it not been published more? Only the dead sea scrolls have been more published about!

[@pattysherwood7091]

Nathan did a good job discovering such an important collection.

The Lord can use anyone to bring about His wondrous revelation of Himself to mankind. This was both a heartwarming and awe-inspiring learning for me. Gkory to God!

I found your channel through The Snipe Life who was talking about one of your videos. Exactly the day before I found your video, someone in a community I am apart of online had asked how do you respond to people who wrote books about how Jesus didn’t exist and the resurrection never happpened based on archeological finds and whatnot. It’s amazing that after that discussion that your channel popped up. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!

[@American-Jello]

Wow, this is incredible, seriously, the coolest thing ever! I am so constantly fascinated by what I learn on this channel.

[@marilynnjefferson8525]

Please forgive me for reflecting upon sadness. But, oh how wonderful it would be to look back upon an earthly father who laid his hands upon my head and said, The LORD bless you and keep your . . .” Even more so that my husband didn’t know to do this for our wonderful sons. They are thousands of miles away, but beginning today I approach the throne and ask my Heavenly Father to bless my sons and my grandchildren with these beautiful words. Thank You, Father for this magnificent report. My love to all who believe in Him.

The Jerusalem name is a lie like the name Jesus is. Zion is the true name that was replaced by Jerusalem. Jesus replaced Immanuel as the birth given name.

[@WisdomThumbs]

Love that I-ate-crow line: “as it turned out, *he* made the discovery of *my* lifetime.” EDIT: also, the words on the scrolls were in a verse I heard on the radio yesterday, and thought “I’ve read and heard this before, but never remembered it until now.” And I remembered that BEFORE the archaeologist spoke of how these were the first words he heard in Hebrew from his father in the death camps!!! Signs of affirmation? Undoubtedly... And still not the clearest I’ve seen in my life. God is good. Thank you for serving him, sir. Your channel is a blessing.

[@dovbarleib3256]

It doesn't mean these people are Gods servants. God used people "of the nations" to accomplish his purpose in ancient times. Ron Wyatt found amazing places and events from Gods word and its history, but he didn't know God and so it is probable he was not in Gods favor. They are what Second Timothy 3:5, 7 describes. People of the nations may be used as puppets, but Gods people are inspired by his holy spirit and/or All the instructions in The Bile. You all pick and choose what You want to believe, and ignore the rest of Gods sovereignty and authority. Everyone knows Gods name is Jehovah. The Great Tribulation will soon come, and even though the time is shorter than ever, you still have time to find The truth.

@@cindybin2001 1. I am not against Mormons in hateful a way: against their book, yes. God says to hate what is bad and that book does not correspond with nor compliments The Bible as it should so it is bad. 2. Gods word is total, complete, from Genesis to Revelation, so to have a book and say it is from a prophet of God Can't Possibly Be. impossible. The Koran has the same value: none. It is not meant to be offensive, it is from an honest, educated point of view. 3. The Bible doesn't support the book of Mormons. You can bend and twist Gods word in some cases to suit your book, but Gods word can not be manipulated nor contradicted. 4. Ninety nine percent of All religion is false, that includes ninety nine percent of "Christian" religions, too. God can only have One unified religion, as he did in ancient Israel, as he did in the first century AD, so he will have true worship also in the final part of the days.
