From Eliyahu:

Shalom friends, 

Let's roll!As we are about to leave one Hebrew year behind to enter into another we are once again reminded of the cyclical nature of time, as YHWH made it for His people. Time is a wheel that just keeps rolling forward, and it is going somewhere! A few more turns and it will take us to Messiah's Kingdom, because it was set into motion according to the Divine Plan, and it will accomplish that for which it has been sent. As we look back to take a look at this year, before we move out of it forever, we can take satisfaction in good things accomplished for His Kingdom. You, me, all of us whose hearts are His, live for serving Him and His Kingdom. We are about that. We are part of the Plan, and so, as the wheel moves forward toward His Kingdom, we not only move with it, but we enthusiastically lend our minds, our bodies and our life's energy to its momentum and purpose. For us, that service is life itself. There is nothing else worth giving one's life to!

So what have we accomplished over this last year? Of course, we all have our own personal answers to that question. There are so few turns of the wheel allotted to each lifetime, let us all do our best to make them count for something worthwhile. Personal growth in our inner man is a primary consideration. You are a better person than you were a year ago! How are you better? YHWH has been molding you, perfecting virtue within you, making you more fit for His service. No doubt He has been doing that in your life over this year, in ways you can clearly discern, if you think about it, and in ways only He knows. Either way, this perfecting of your character has been a very big thing He has been doing in your life. You are His special treasure and He is always investing so much of Himself into you. Multiply that sizeable investment by every person who belongs to Him and you see the Kingdom being built up around the world before your very eyes! It is being built upon the sure and immovable Foundation Stone of the Son of Elohim by the greatest power in all the universe - the unstoppable power of the Love of our Father's heart! Have no fear little flock, for our Father has delighted to give you the Kingdom!   

Choices matter!Tonight's verses, in Luke 21, remind us of the other side of that story, the darker side. While we don't want to dwell on that, we must know about it, because being aware of negative outcomes helps us to make better choices. There are lessons here that keep us rolling forward toward the Kingdom, instead of tragically going off course to experience a catastrophic demise. That's what happened to ancient Jerusalem - twice, each time totally desolated on exactly the same day of the year! One of those destructions was upon the 1st Century Jerusalem by the Romans. This was seven centuries after Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Babylonians! Our news article below provides scientific confirmation of that earlier destruction. Clearly, these two destructions of Jerusalem were no accident. They were both the outcome and the divine punishment on some very bad choices made by people who were blind to the very catastrophe they themselves were bringing about. Among other false assumptions, they made the tragic mistake of thinking their status as Yah's people would insure that nothing bad could happen to them. No, that's not how it works. Choices matter. Some choices can be SO wrong they bring on utter destruction. If it could happen to the Holy City, twice, it can happen to our modern civilization today. Time is a wheel, and if you are rolling with the Babylonians and Romans the way this world is, it can (and will) happen to our modern society as well. If you know the signs from the earlier cycles of destruction, you are surely seeing them everywhere before your eyes today, signaling the imminent demise of the world system. The good news here is, it is up to each of us to make sure it doesn't happen to us, by making different and better choices. Yes, YHWH has better things in mind for you, but you must cooperate with His plan to benefit from those things. And of course, that is why you are here.

So what are we going to be doing in the new year? We are going to keep rolling on toward the Kingdom!

Join us tonight at 8 PM CST at Tsiyon.Net for our Tsiyon meeting. Roll on!

Shalom,

Eliyahu

Yes, it really happened.TSIYON NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: The most recent discovery reported below needs to be understood in context with similar discoveries of hardened clay seal impressions, called bullae, from the City of David excavations. Some are impressions of names of people reported in Scripture. One example is Gemaryahu son of Shafan, a high official at the court of King Jehoiakim of Judah, who served just before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians (Jeremiah 36:10-12, 25). Another is Azaryahu son of Hilkiyahu, a priest, who served in the Temple in Jerusalem during the same general timeframe (1 Chronicles 9:11). The Babylonians burnt the city to the ground, which fired the clay bullae, preserving them in tact, to be discovered confirming Scripture in these last days. In view of unmistakable Biblical names on multiple bullae previously found, the discovery of yet another bearing the name and title of a Bible character leaves no doubt that what we already know is true - the Bible is a book of accurate history. I'm including a photo of bullae with this note from the same time period, discovered in the excavated remains of just one house in the City of David. - EBD

 A 2,600-year-old seal from the Kingdom of Judah bearing the inscription “(belonging) to Nathan-Melech, Servant of the King” was recently discovered in the City of David, according to an announcement Sunday.

The seal was deciphered by Dr. Anat Mendel-Geberovich of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Center for the Study of Ancient Jerusalem. “Although it is not possible to determine with complete certainty that the Nathan-Melech who is mentioned in the Bible was in fact the owner of the stamp, it is impossible to ignore some of the details that link them together,” Mendel-Geberovich said.

The statement notes that the name Nathan-Melech appears once in the Hebrew Bible, in II Kings 23:11, where he is described as an official in the court of King Josiah.

The clay bulla (seal impression), along with other artifacts, was discovered inside a public building that was destroyed during the destruction of the First Temple and was uncovered during the archaeological excavation of the Givati parking lot in the City of David National Park in Jerusalem. The dig was conducted by archeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and Tel Aviv University (TAU).


“They join the bullae and stamps bearing names written in ancient Hebrew script, which were discovered in the various excavations that have been conducted in the City of David until today. These artifacts attest to the highly developed system of administration in the Kingdom of Judah and add considerable information to our understanding of the economic status of Jerusalem and its administrative system during the First Temple period, as well as personal information about the king’s closest officials and administrators who lived and worked in the city.”

They added the discovery helps provide a window into the era.

The bulla “(belonging) to Nathan-Melech, Servant of the King,” discovered March 31st, 2019. (Credit: ELIYAHU YANAI/CITY OF DAVID)“The discovery of a public building such as this, on the western slope of the City of David, provides a lot of information about the city’s structure during this period and the size of its administrative area,” they said. “The destruction of this building in the fire, apparently during the Babylonian conquest of the city in 586 BCE, strengthens our understanding of the intensity of the destruction in the city.”

A second artifact was also located during the dig. A stamp-seal was also uncovered, made of “bluish agate stone, engraved with the name – ‘(belonging) to Ikar son of Matanyahu,’” according to the release.

Both artifacts will be presented in the Israel Exploration Journal, the archaeological journal published by the Israel Exploration Society.
