As the article says, the seal, which was meant to show authority, was broken by God.
Great site! Thank you fren!
Beautiful. His seal is upon Jesus thus sealing those who accept him. Amen.
Historical record. Where is that published?
There are several historical records besides the Bible that mention the resurrection of Jesus:
The writings of Josephus: Josephus was a Jewish historian who lived in the 1st century AD. He wrote two major works, "The Jewish War" and "Jewish Antiquities," in which he briefly mentioned the crucifixion of Jesus and his followers' belief in his resurrection. The writings of Tacitus: Tacitus was a Roman historian who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. In his work "Annals," he briefly mentioned the execution of Jesus under Pontius Pilate and the belief of his followers that he had risen from the dead. The writings of Suetonius: Suetonius was a Roman historian who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. In his work "Lives of the Twelve Caesars," he briefly mentioned the expulsion of the Jews from Rome by Emperor Claudius, which he attributed to their "constant tumults at the instigation of Chrestus" (a likely reference to Christ). The writings of Pliny the Younger: Pliny the Younger was a Roman lawyer and author who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. In his correspondence with Emperor Trajan, he mentioned the practices of early Christians, including their belief in the resurrection of Jesus. The writings of Lucian of Samosata: Lucian was a Greek satirist who lived in the 2nd century AD. In his work "The Passing of Peregrinus," he briefly mentioned the death of Jesus and the beliefs of his followers. It is worth noting that these historical records do not provide the same level of detail or firsthand accounts as the Bible, but they do offer additional evidence for the historical existence of Jesus and the beliefs of his followers.
All of these writings have been rewritten several times over. Each scribe giving his own translation as he was writing them. Just like “ the telephone game.” Everyone always seems to gage the Bible as the final word. Yet, the Summerian cuneiform tablets were written hundreds of years before the Bible and nobody talks about their accuracy in the mainstream. So many stories in the Bible were taken from the cuneiform texts. We need to keep our minds open.
In the Gospel of Matthew. Read Matthew 27:62-66.
I was asking, besides the Bible what other book mentions this ?
Sorry, but I don't know.
Most of history relies on single sources. So?
First, the Bible is a series of books. The four gospels were written by four different men with different background.
Second, there are multiple other books that refer to these same events, thus confirming the basic truth of the gospels.
The life of Jesus is found in many more original sources than Caesar's campaign in Britain. Most of Caesar comes from what Caesar supposedly wrote. Side note: His writings are in such simple language, that sections of his writings are used in first year Latin classes. It was simple enough that I could read the Latin and translate orally at the same time.
So the Summerian cuneiform tablets should be taken into consideration. They talk about Enki creating man, Alamo, in the garden of eden. They talk about the flood. They talk about Enki returning when Nibiru comes near earth in its orbit.
The tablets might be an older physical text, but not necessarily an older story. My copy of Shakespeare is from the 1800s, but that doesn't prove the text isn't much older. Not all history was written down at first. For example, a lot of Irish and Welsh history was passed along orally for centuries before it was written down. And many of the oldest books have disappeared, leaving us with newer copies, which most historians claim aren't so just because the copies we have aren't the old copies. It's not logical.
