Shocking Discovery at Ancient Temple in Israel

Residue of Cannabis was found at the altar of an ancient temple in the territory of Judah. The Temple was first dated to the time of King David and Solomon, however, upon further examination the archaeologists came to a different conclusion.

Cannabis is one of the main ingredients in the Holy Anointing Oil in Exodus 30. It's translated from "kaneh bosm" in the original texts. The Jews mistranslated it in the Septuagint because they were told by God not to disclose the ingredients to any gentiles. They ended up doing that prior to the Babylonian exile and it made Him mad (Exodus 30:32-33, Ezekiel 16:18; 23:41). Just like with idolatry, they learned the lessons of the Babylonian exile and kept the ingredients secret when they translated the torah for the Greeks. Now, cannabis has been researched extensively in modern day Israel. They are currently preparing their anointing oil for their "messiah" and using cannabis for it. Thank you guys for making this much more public!

For years, people dismissed the Bible as a book of myths. Now we are seeing that his word is true.

[@leepaul6630]

“True”, but vastly altered. Some alterations are minor; some are gravely consequential. A single word or phrase mistranslated can often be the difference between understanding, or a complete misunderstanding; a, “mystery”, or not mysterious at all and making perfect sense. I am fascinated by exploring these, one by one. I welcome intelligent, rational, insightful and well-read input and discussion.

[@zeuso.1947]

Finding a temple with an unknown relevance to the Bible does not negate its stories being classified as mythology. New York being real doesn't make Spiderman real. London being real doesn't make Harry Potter real. Tokyo being real doesn't make Godzilla real.

[@zeuso.1947]

@@BentleyPawsEtsy Did you even watch the video? There is certainly no evidence offered for any kind of God in this video. There's not even evidence of the site being related to any Bible story, which would not give any credence to its God, even if there was.

[@zeuso.1947]

@@BentleyPawsEtsy I've already watched it and studied the Bible more than you can imagine. Oddly enough, studying the Bible and extensively studying the history of the time period led to my atheism. So yes, I encourage anyone to study the Bible and contemporary literature for a rational understanding.

Thank you for bringing me along with you. I have wished to have at least visited Israel during my lifetime but was never able to do, as yet, in my life. First, there was a travel prohibition in 1966 due to the region's political tensions and problems obtaining a visa.. Many years later, my hope to relocate to Israel was precluded by a change of direction in my life at home, soon after which my health was found to be enough of a problem to have made my earlier plans impossible to pursue. So, then, you can better understand how extremely thankful to you both I am for including others on your carefully studied and joy-filled exploration of important historical and religious sites in Israel. Your amazing care for and delight in one another and mutual celebration of the discoveries along the way, make you the perfect team, guiding each viewer much more as a personal friend .Your youthfulness and goodness projecting such warmth of heart, it is an honor to have been invited along with you to enjoy such an memorable virtual tour.
