From Eliyahu:

Shalom friends,

No, Google is not God. Some people never give much thought to the big questions. Others ask those questions, but easily settle for stupid answers. For the latter group; no, the meaning of life is not "42." It's also not pleasing yourself, dying richer than your neighbor, or driving your dream car. The meaning of life is not found in living life "my way" or mindlessly chasing after the crowd. Most everything people say is the meaning of life - isn't. That which has real meaning endures on. Pharaohs may build massive pyramids in their own honor, but while the pyramids may continue on for millennia the dead Pharaohs are long forgotten in a few years. The staggering and depressing truth is this: in ourselves we have no meaning. In the big scheme of things even the greatest of us appear to be utterly insignificant, since the unrelenting duo of death and time eventually wipe out even the memory of all who have fallen before them. Yet, before you despair know this; your life can have real meaning, in one way and one way only. You need to live for the One True King, the King who is worthy of your life's service. Nobody who gives their life to serve the One True King lives a life without meaning. All who serve Him from the heart enjoy more meaning than they themselves can even fathom or comprehend. He alone makes life itself a treasure! All hail Yeshua Messiah, the Eternal Royal Son!

The last piece of the puzzle. Oh yes, some are reluctant to agree with that, continuing to cling to the idea of meaning coming from inside themselves. They say "life is a journey, and the meaning of life is to be found in the journey itself." That is true to a point, since what we do along the way in life's journey, especially how we treat others, matters to them. Yet, we are still faced with the problem of the inevitable end of the journey, that terminates our life's journey and even seems to cancel out the meaning in all we have done before that happens. Since we are not eternal beings we cannot impart eternal meaning to ourselves. The very fact that many look vainly to science to produce some magic pill, cryogenic freezing, or even uploading their essence into a computer to live past the decay of the body, is an admission that something from outside the person is needed to attain eternal life, and the eternal meaning that comes with it. This is not the realm of science and technology and never will be, since science doesn't even know what life is, and can't know, because science only concerns itself with the material world, and life itself transcends that, being from a spiritual source. Ultimately we must look beyond ourselves to the Eternal Source of life, to attain eternal life and the eternal meaning that comes with it. As unfair as this seems to those who don't want it to be so, it is your Creator, not you, who will ultimately decide whether your journey deserves to continue on into eternity - or not.

Get to know Yeshua! That is not to say you have no choice in the matter. Quite to the contrary, you do have a choice, and it is not a complicated choice. You can hang on to your fleeting transitory life for yourself, or you can hand it over to the Son of Elohim so that He, the Lord of Life, can give you eternal life in return. Yeshua, the Son of God, said this to Father God about Himself:

"Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true Elohim, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah." John 17:2-3

Why should God or His Son give such a precious gift as is eternal life to people who don't even want to know Him? It turns out that eternal life is about becoming part of God's family, and that starts with receiving God's Son, knowing Him. This is not religion. This is relationship. Yet, the fact is, most people don't want a relationship with God or His Son. They are repelled by that because deep in their hearts they know that would require changes in their lives they don't want to make. Yeshua's friend, John, tells us this about Him:

"He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become Elohim’s children, to those who believe in his name: who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of Elohim!" John 1:11-13

The book of John is the best place I know to get to know the Son of God. That book was written by one of His best friends. John was convinced by all that he saw and heard in the life of Yeshua, that Yeshua is the Son of God and that by knowing the Son, we can know the Father as well, and can even become a part of His eternal family. At our online meeting tonight we begin an in-depth weekly study of the book of John, a book that presents for us the unique Son of God, who came so that we could know Him, and through knowing Him, can live forever with Him. A serious study of this message will blow away every religious lie you've ever been told about "Jesus" and will set you unmistakably on the path to eternal life. The book of John has been life-changing for me, as it has been for millions. Want something of eternal value for yourself or to share with those you love? Then commit to show up for this study of John, every Sabbath, all the way through.

Join us tonight for our live video stream at tsiyon.net, at 8 pm cst. Eternal treasure awaits!

Shalom,

Eliyahu

Pilgrimage Road Unveiled!

Unveiled! The ancient Jerusalem road used by pilgrims, including Yeshua
and His disciples, ascending from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount.

Ascend to the Temple

Reprint: THE TIMES OF ISRAEL, JUN 30, 2019

This afternoon, Sunday, June 30, 2019, US Ambassador Friedman, White House Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt together with an array of Israeli ministers and members of Knesset will make history in Jerusalem, when they unveil the Pilgrimage Road, a fundamental piece of the city’s past, with historical, cultural and religious significance to billions.

Jerusalem is a place that doesn’t need introduction, but few realize the ancient city was almost lost forever. Until a British explorer sent by Queen Victoria accidently stumbled upon a series of underground water channels that would change the course of history forever.

Deep beneath a potato field, outside the 500-year-old city walls, Captain Charles Warren had discovered a hidden passage to Jerusalem’s biblical water source, the Gihon Spring. He would also find archaeological remains that predated those found inside the walls by thousands of years, leading him to opine that the original City of Jerusalem, known in the Bible as the City of David, was just south of what is known until today as the Old City.

Tens of international archaeological expeditions have proven him right, 152 years later, with some of the most significant finds of the ancient world, including what is thought to be King David’s Palace and seals bearing the Hebrew names of many biblical figures from the House of David.

In 2004, a burst water pipe would open a new chapter. A municipal maintenance crew was sent, accompanied by an archaeologist. As they began breaking ground, the archaeologist noticed something significant. He carefully brushed away the dirt to uncover first century stone stairs, the likes of which had only ever been seen on the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount. He had found the biblical Pool of Siloam.

A significant distance from other major discoveries, archaeologists began to theorize as to why the pool was so isolated. Until they discovered an entrance to the ancient Pilgrimage Road which connects the most significant sites of that period, including the Pool of Siloam, City of David, Western Wall and Temple Mount.

The Pilgrimage Road was built by King Herod 2,000 years ago, as the main thoroughfare for pilgrims to ascend from the Pool of Siloam, where they would ritually purify themselves on route to the Temple, on Mount Moriah. It is likely that anyone from that period would have walked to the Temple on these very flagstones. In fact, a tiny 2,000-year-old golden bell was recently discovered in a drainage channel beneath the road, which is thought to have accidently broken loose from the tunic of the high priest on his way up to the Temple.

The discovery of the Pilgrimage Road was an unprecedented scientific feat of biblical proportions. Unlike most archaeological digs which begin from the ground down, this excavation was done in the subterraneous, beneath the hustle and bustle of modern Jerusalem. Tens of fibrotic cable cameras were used to decipher where to excavate, while maps and diagrams made by archaeologists over the last century and a half paved the way forward. As archaeologists used the delicate tools of their trade to slowly discover the past, Israel’s leading engineers were on hand to fortify not only the excavation, but everything above it.

Captain Charles Warren would have been in awe of the long list of treasures found along the way of the road and down in the drainage channel below. They include a stepped structure, likely used by prominent political and religious leaders of the time to preach to the masses. And one of the oldest depictions of a menorah, thought to have been carved by a child after seeing it at the Temple.

But perhaps the most poignant of artefacts discovered were those bearing a message to mankind. Hundreds of coins with very little monetary value were unearthed bearing the Hebrew words “For the Freedom of Zion,” minted by the last surviving Jews of Jerusalem as the city burnt around them, perhaps as a message to future generations that although Jerusalem had been lost, it would not be lost forever.

Two millennia after the last Jews of Jerusalem left their message to mankind another is being written into our memories. The people of Israel have returned to Jerusalem, and the City of David has also returned as an anchor of Western civilization.

Upon these ancient stones, the biblical prophets delivered revolutionary messages of peace, freedom, liberty and justice for all. These values are the shared roots on which the United States of America and Western civilization were founded and they continue to enhance the lives of billions.
