the most mindblowing archaeological find since the Dead Sea Scrolls was just uncovered but what makes this discovery special and what could be hidden inside it do you think you know everything about the early church well what if I told you that this video could change your perspective forever we all have seen the discovery of the Dead Sea scroll and how it affected history and changed people's beliefs the world witnessed nothing short of for biblical Miracle at that time now a mosaic has been found that is inscribed with Jesus Christ it's believed to have been made
during 230 ad so when we take a look in the history we'll understand that this is the earliest evidence that could support Christians proclaiming Jesus as a Divine figure you all must be aware of the Council of nah for those who don't know it's a council of Christian Bishops convened in the banian city of NAA by the Roman emperor Constantine I so what we could understand from this is that the Mosaic that the archaeologists found is older than the Council of NAA the Christians of that time were not simply talking about Jesus they were planting
the Divinity of Jesus in the places they worshiped and it is clear from the Mosaic that was discovered it is said by the unitarians that worshiping Jesus or the Divinity of Jesus was not a part of the Christian beliefs it evolved D over time due to some political pressure and then later the church Council formalized it but what we see right now yes the Mosaic pretty much contradicts the above statement of those people but now you might be thinking how is that even possible let's dive in more deeply guys and trust me you're not going
to want to miss this next part the Mosaic that we're going to talk about was actually discovered in 2005 and many articles were circulating in social media about the same during 2005 but the inscription was found a little bit later so how did they even find the existence of this Mosaic well all this started when plans were made to construct a new prison wing on the megiddo prison in 2004 so for this the Israeli Antiquities authorities did a check to ensure that no Treasures were hidden deep inside that place but like you think right now
all things were about to change during the time they found out that this prison was built over a mosaic floor of an ancient prayer Hall there was no sign of Destruction and everything was preserved carefully there the man who did the Dig said that the building was abandoned and no one ever lived there after that so like I said at first this is the oldest Christian prayer house found till now the church buildings were established first during the 4th century and before that it was located inside hes and was believed to be the center of
the Christian Community the IAA said this structure is interpreted as the oldest Christian prayer house in the world and in fact it tells the story of Christianity even before it became official but what was more interesting is that there was one inscription that said to the God Jesus Christ this was considered significant since it was the first evidence to prove that Jesus was believed as something Divine during that time that site was rich in artifact and because of that a deep search operation was held and the search went on for many years it continued until
2008 the prisoners also got an opportunity to take part in that search and work with the Israeli archaeologist since the prison was on top of it the search got delayed for so many years when the Christian prayer Hall was first found beneath the prison we were all excited for one minute then we realized it's a maximum security prison so we'll never actually be able to do anything with it said Matthew Adams who was the director of the excavation operation since they found it hard to dig the place because of the prison they made plans to
completely transfer the prison to somewhere else they made proper planning to relocate this prison so that they could excavate the place without facing any hindrances if the relocation was done properly then the archaeologists can do their Duty and properly preserve the place and later open that for tourists to visit Okay now what's the significance of the inscription that's found in the Mosaic well here's where things get really interesting and if you've made it all the way to this part of the video you probably enjoy this content and would be a great member in our community
it's an area where you get to see all of our new content first before anyone else and get to see exclusive videos not released to anyone else if you want to learn more check out the link in the description or in the pinned comment now let's get back to it a total of three inscriptions were found on the Mosaic and the Western inscription was the most important or the most noteworthy among them and it reads the God loving a kepus has offered the table of God Jesus Christ as a memorial the ancient Christian Church believed
that Jesus was a God and it is also said that the table was used for the local Eucharist celebration was offered by a woman named Aus many people believed or many critics argued that Jesus was never claimed as a god during ancient times and the inscription that was found contradicted this particular statement they also believed that Jesus was not considered Divine but look at the inscription guys it literally says God Jesus Christ this could mean something important right yes by this evidence we can say that Christians did believe Jesus as God and this also reinforces
The credibility of the Bible this also rewrites what the Skeptics said about the Divinity of Jesus they said that the Divinity of Jesus was developed later as Christianity got further away from the actual events of Jesus's life so now we have the evidence to say or claim that all this could be wrong another message that we can see on the north side of the Mosaic is about the money that was donated by the Roman Centurion named gu vus to build that particular thing it was also called poor Furious our brother then something really exciting was
found by the archaeologists well they came to know that the Christian prayer Hall was sitting in an ancient Jewish village that was right next to a legion Camp of the Roman army and a Roman bantine city on the website IAA they explained we have here archaeological evidence of an early Christian Community Community whose members also included Roman army officers from a period prior to the recognition of Christianity as a religion and years before it became the official religion of the Empire all these factors allow us to examine questions relating to the development of the Christian
religion before emperor Constantine as well as issues connected with the Roman army in the eastern part of the empire in general and the land of Israel in particular these discoveries paved the way for getting more detailed on the nature of Roman attitudes to the early church matters it was usually believ that Roman authorities were completely against the Christian Movement that happened during ancient times but all the evidence that was found right now shows that there could have been some level of acceptance or tolerance of that religion among the Roman authorities the archaeologists later found out
that the area where the church Hall was found was home to many people who belonged to different cultures or religions not only Romans were living near the Christians they also found out that the village had both Jewish and Samaritan residents Dr yotan teer told a Jerusalem Post through the excavations we learned about all the connections between Samaritans Jews pagans Christians soldiers and civilians do have neighborhoods of so many different religions and ethnicities in such geographical proximity to each other makes this very special we see their houses next to each other which points to a good
relationship because of the presence of different religions here it's a very interesting place to excavate and learn about the relations between the different religions it can be a very important contribution to our knowledge when we look at the Eastern inscription we can see that it is dedicated to the memory of Four Women familial Kaka Dortha and kasta but no one was able to find the the reason for the mentioning of these names in that particular inscription then we can see images of fish in ancient times fish was considered a symbol of Christianity Greek it is
when we look at each letter of the words we can understand that it all forms the acronym Jesus Christ Son of God savior the image of the fish also represents when Jesus called Peter and Andrew who were fishermen do you follow him saying that he would make them Fishers of Men Matthew 4: 18-20 reads while walking by the Sea of Galilee Jesus saw two brothers Simon who called Peter and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen and he said to them follow me and I will make you Fishers of
Men immediately they left their Nets and followed him so from all this we can understand that megido was one of the earliest occupied settlements in the Middle East yes it was settled as far back as 5,000 BC that place is often remembered for all the battles that took place there it was fortified by King Solomon and has a rich history and that place was also prophesized to have a fascinating future this place has a significant place in history due to the activities of the people who lived there in the Book of Revelation it is said
that that would be the place where the last battle between God and Evil wouldn't happen if you take a look at that place right now you won't be able to see any large settlements yes it's unoccupied and we can only see a small kibot they are a small community that focuses on agricultural agriculture the early Christians did believe in Jesus's miraculous works and his divinity even though it's a quiet place right now with fewer people living there it is a place that had very much importance during ancient times now we have proper archaeological evidence to
prove that all the critics were wrong about their statements so the ancient people were practicing everything that was later formalized at NAA yes they believed that Jesus was God they did not just simply say all these but practiced everything they were carving out and preserving everything we understood that the doctrine of the Divinity of Jesus Christ was not something that was developed later each inscription contained the proof Pro that the archaeologists wanted this evidence opened the eyes of the archaeologists and all the Believers and made them understand how the ancient people believed and worshiped Jesus
Christ yes it indeed changed the perspectives of the people and rewrote the history what do you think about this discovery guys does it change anything that you believed about Christianity do you think that we can actually believe that the people believed in the Divinity of Jesus by seeing this Mo sake let us know your thoughts and perspectives in the comment section guys
