Brothers and.Sister I have one to share Many people went up dying is scary and mostly people are afraid to die. I have some to shared Is it possible this time to not die in Flesh and Taking our body in Heaven directly. 2nd Is we will die then during the rapture we will meetup Jesus in The Clouds. Bible Warn us not to die in flesh like Prophet Eljiah.. His Body never experienced physically die and brought by fiery horses to Heaven. We can also experienced the same and our physical body will not die IF WE IMITATE THE HOLINESS of Elijah. If we Die in Flesh means we did not IMITATE the life of Eijah and we will wait for the resurrection of our body to meetup our Lord Jesus in Heaven.

Hello sir. Ever since my parents passed in 2016/2017, I have struggled with the concept of my own mortality, knowing that one day I would be in that place too. I would be in that hospital bed one day, slowly going, and probably with great discomfort. Lately it was on my mind alot, even though its been 7 years almost. So when I saw the end of this video today, that Christ had to go through death, confronted with that moment, and after such suffering, the Lord touched my heart. Even as I write this I have tears in my eyes, because if he could do it for us, that we shouldn't be afraid of that moment, but trust in him. I haven't had a religious moment of clarity, tho it may seem silly for you to hear, for a long time. Thank you Joel for bringing me this message, which I believe was from God.

Plus he's super approachable and knowledgeable even though it was obvious we didn't have any money to spend(and for people who haven't been to the Old City, that's extremely rare to find, haha). His goods were so interesting and he was happy to chat and inform us. It happened to be my birthday that day(best birthday ever!) and somehow it came out and he wished me a happy day. But then before we left he took out the piece of 1st C. patina Roman glass that I was coveting but hadn't said anything about, and he wished me happy birthday again and gave it to me. And it's still a most treasured possession and even survived the 2020 bushfires because it was so special to me.

Yes, but considering that it lines up with what the Church Fathers also said about what happened to the site, it’s reasonable to conclude based on it that they’re talking about the same tomb. The “time of Jesus” bit was to emphasise that it fit the right time period, despite the additions to the building later on.

[@twitherspoon8954]

_"...now I love to find out about historical, archeological and intelectual facts that support my faith."_ There is literally no contemporaneous evidence that Jesus ever existed. No one in history witnessed the Bible figure known as Jesus. The Gospels were written anonymously, after 70 AD, by non-witnesses to Jesus. In the entire first century Jesus is not mentioned by a single historian, religion scholar, politician, philosopher, or poet. His name never occurs in a single inscription, carving, sculpture or monument, and is never found in a single piece of private correspondence or official record. Jesus himself left no archaeological evidence of any kind, such as artifacts, tombs, dwellings, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. The earliest Gospel fragment (it's known as P52) we have dates from the second century (John 18). More than 80% of New Testament manuscripts date to the 5th century or later. There are more than 5,500 surviving Greek manuscripts and no two are alike. We do not have any originals. There more than 500,000 differences. There are more differences than there are words in the New Testament.

Very clearly explained. Easy to follow. And very clear visuals. Excellent job!

[@Jesus_MyLordandMyGod]

Your faith is beautiful and your simple expositions are very helpful. May Christ bless you greatly.

[@JesusChristismyLord316]

Praise Jesus Christ!! ✝️🙏👑

[@aussiegardener5703]

This is truly the tomb of Jesus, when I visited it last year I was overcome with the Holy Spirit upon entering and had the most amazing encounter with Jesus in the tomb. Praise Jesus! Peace and love be with you all.

You’re making a real difference with these videos. Keep up the good work

[@rusanne1232]

I love your channel. It has deepened my faith and my love for God. I tried to get hold of your book but it’s unavailable on Amazon. Will you be printing more books? God bless you and your amazing work.

Years back I spent a couple of weeks in the old city of Jerusalem. The paths of the cross and the Holy Sepilture I visited and even as a believing Christian they had no impression on me. I spoke with an archeologist who was excavating around 5m below current street level, which was claimed to be from Jesus time, shows how much the city changed over time. I did a walk one day around the outside of the old city. Sitting in a small valley in the shade of an olive tree amongst the spring red poppies is where I felt the contentment that I knew this is where Christ walked I live archeology but feel the pursuit of the relics is something that misguides so many. The claimed places are fascinating but in no way holy sites. Christ alone is holy and worthy to be praised. Amen

[@Thelaretus]

Protestants... yikes!

[@enterprise3845]

Did you visit the Garden Tomb?

[@scottmccloud9029]

Your book is fantastic, Joel. It should be noted though, that places Jesus was shouldn't be worshipped. Only Jesus Christ Himself should be worshipped and praised.

[@davidcloyd1296]

Awesome! Great work! You’ve blessed so many with your hard work in bringing critical information about the greatest event in the world! Thank you brother!

[@mybestfriendjesus8326]

Queen Helena mother of Emperor Constantine was a secret Christian. Yes, the prayers of mothers are very powerful. Saint Helena is also considered the first archaeologist and actually a woman archaeologist for not just collecting old or religious items, but for leading an entire team of multiple workers and excavating and finding the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ!

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Prayers are prayers brother or sister. God hears them all equally.

[@i8nm3gp]

The idols worshipped at Petra gives you the recipe for the black magic spell that was used on him which was built shortly after his supposed "crucifiction" as if they were celebrating his death then the byzantines destroyed the city. The religion of idolatry is the religion of magic. My theory is that someone else assumed Jesus's form while the original Jesus secretly traveled to Egypt where he lived out his life and passed away.

[@karanowlin9506]

I had no idea, thank you for sharing this 💛

[@i8nm3gp]

@karanowlin9506 it's the religion of idolatry. It manipulates things in time. It's a type of craft.

[@justmeanna90]

@@i8nm3gpshe wasn’t thanking to you!

[@Capital194]

Absolutely fabulous video, your historical and archeological analysis is superb and the story logical. You are doing a wonderful job in helping people understand the Bible through solid evidence.

[@kathrynklunder3788]

Thank you for these videos. Your "on location" approach really clarifies the geography & helps make the Bible history accounts visually understandable. This episode is among my favorites. I'm also enjoying "Where God Came Down" for the same reasons as well as the expanded content.

[@yoderspainting5816]

Really interested in your take on the garden tomb. My visit to Israel left more questions then answers about the actual tomb of Jesus.

[@Rose_Wander]

The Garden Tomb is the actual Tomb. This video here is the Catholic belief of where the tomb was. Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb, cut out of rock. Mark 15:43&46 Also, John 19:41!

[@152riggs]

The Garden Tomb looks like what we expect it to look like. However, the scholarly evidence points to the Tomb of the Holy Sepulchre. I have been to both many times. The Garden Tomb I visit for the atmospheric peace and time for contemplation. The Holy Sepulchre I visit to honor the spot of the historical event.

[@samueljennings4809]

@ Rose_Wander The Garden Tomb is too early, and dates from 700 BC. The evidence for the traditional site predates the union of Rome and the Church. I used to think it was the Garden Tomb but my own research led me to conclude that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is indeed the real site.

[@SavedbyGraceAlone1962]

Jesus, the name above all names, the only name that saves!!♥

Since your start. I have followed you. Thank you for all the blessings you have given to me threw your videos. God bless you. I don't have lots if money. But I am glad,our Lord is Free to anyone that wants him. Thank you.

[@zakade]

I LOVE IT! Joel’s videos are always great but this one is in my opinion the greatest! May the LORD reward you Joel and your crew hundred fold. I bought your book “Where God came down” and I enjoyed it very much. I hope one day I can join one of your tour groups in Jerusalem. God bless!

Yes Amen brother glory hallelujah 🙌👏👏👏👏 Jesus has being risen ☝️

This was wonderful. Thank you. Your son speaks with the confidence that you do, and I pray he will use his gifts to honor God.

[@kobuspietersen9741]

Brilliant video! Thanks for the effort in compiling this facinating mini documentary

[@cancandance]

Always so beautiful brother. I laughed out loud when the guy that made the Jupiter over the tomb actually did the exact thing God wanted him to do in the long run, which was make the place notable. 🤣 God's always on another level.

[@puddintame6014]

Thank you Joel! You're living my dream! Thank you so much for sharing! Wonderful!!!!!

[@dawnguerriere6603]

God bless you! I’m in my 60’s and follow history a lot but I’ve never heard this -that a temple was actually built over the tomb-thank you so much for your thorough explanation of this! It’s always been confusing till now😀🙏

My heart SANK the second he said that Christ’s Tomb was destroyed in antiquity- that’s gutting, to have such a holy and beautiful place destroyed.

[@NihouNi]

Thankyou so much for answering questions I have had for years. May God continue to bless your work.

[@rickanderson704]

So cool! I had just finished reading this chapter of your book last night. It was great to be able to follow it up with this video! Thank you!

[@Thelaretus]

Nice to see a presumably Protestant scholar who actually knows the history of the Catholic Church! And important note: although the name _Aelia Capitolīna_ was Pagan in origin, in remained in use as the only name for the city throughout the Byzantine period; in the Arabic Qur'an, it's also called _Al-Iliyah Al-Kabbidulūn._ Only with the Crusades the name _Jerūsalēm_ (Hierosolyma) resurfaced.

[@RoryJamesMusicTV]

Amazing video! So informative and brilliantly produced. Thankyou!

[@MegaSinglechick]

Absolutely fascinating. You're so blessed to be able to see all this history up close!
