On a day that saw the Israel Antiquities Authority unveil the first Bible scroll fragments found in decades and numerous other dazzling artifacts from the “Cave of Horror” above the Dead Sea  — including a huge 10,500-year-old complete woven basket, the oldest in the world — perhaps the most extraordinary news is that there are another 20 promising caves, holding untold potential treasures, that have yet to be excavated.

That means the dozens of fragments shown to the public on Tuesday could mark the beginning of an exciting new era of discovery, 60 years after the last major scroll finds.

A Powerful Word From The Upper Room

The Upper Room

Hearts were lifted. Tears were shed. Worship was exultant.

The Holy Spirit moved in power as our group listened to Hans Weichbrodt sharing from the roof of the Upper Room.

The Upper Room (or Cenacle) is on Mount Zion, the place regarded as the traditional site of the Last Supper.

The roof top of the Upper room

This is where Jesus washed the disciple’s feet, where the disciples gathered in fear after Jesus’ death, where Jesus reveals His resurrected self to Thomas, where 120 believers prayed on the Day of Pentecost and where tongues of fire appeared to them as they were filled with the Spirit (Acts 2:1-4).

 

The Upper Room building is built on top of a church-synagogue constructed in the first century AD.   Archaeologists have uncovered plaster fragments inscribed with Greek graffiti, one of which has been interpreted to contain the name of Jesus.
