Archaeologists in Israel have unearthed what is believed to be a massive wall fortification built by the Assyrians.

Archaeologists in Israel believe a newly discovered ancient fortification corresponds with a Bible story of an Assyrian takeover.

Archaeologists in Israel have unearthed what is believed to be a massive wall fortification built by the Assyrians.

Archaeologists in Israel have unearthed part of what they believe was once a massive wall fortification built by the Assyrians nearly 2,700 years ago.

If so, the structure would correspond with the Assyrian takeover of the region as described in the Book of Isaiah.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University, who uncovered the wall, described its composition in a release Monday as "mud-brick." Located in the contemporary city of Ashdod, the fortification reportedly is 12 feet wide and 15 feet tall and is covered in layers of mud and sand that stretch for hundreds of feet.

Researchers wrote that in the 8th century B.C., the whole crescent-shaped structure would have protected an area that spanned more than 17 acres. Archeologists believe it was built during a time when the Assyrian kingdom, which stretched into Africa and the Middle East, was facing a rebellion from the king of Ashdod, Yamani.

"The fortifications appear to protect an artificial harbor," Tel Aviv University's Alexander Fantalkin, who's leading the project, said in the release. "If so, this would be a discovery of international significance, the first known harbor of this kind in our corner of the [region]."

Archaeologists are trying to piece together precisely how events during that time period led to the construction of the fortress wall.

"An amazing amount of time and energy was invested in building the wall and [embankments]," Fantalkin said in the release.
 
Of course I know it all truth what the bible says.
And who else could have said ? We would have Satellites and T.v.s to see these two holy guys die . It was written about 2000 years ago. There was no way any person could have seen this at all. Yet the Bible said it .
Sure there were people who said ? How could the whole world see this. It impossible.
Now we see it amazing.

Rev 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Of course this is in the Great Tribulation , GOD Wrath upon this rejecting world.
I believe , this is Not far off . I believe this generation will see it , I will not. I will be Home with those who have accepted Him as Lord and His gospel as Truth .

This is HIS gospel and only way to salvation .
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This is it Also.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

This is the creator .
Eph_3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Rev_4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.


We must truly give ourselves to Him 100% He will not settle for 99 %
We have the choice, accept the truth ? Or go too hell and suffer along with all those who have rejected His Love and mercy .

Most reject ,thinking the ends Never going to come? But in fact the end is near us always and one day ? Will be our last day here and few will know it come?
No one has power to give you eternal life BUT JESUS CHRIST . And He will not unless you give All you have and are to Him. He wants nothing you have . He owns it all at only this little planet but millions more . And He can make more any time He wants. Why He ever LOVED us so? I might never fully understand? But He LOVE you and wants to make you far beyond you now fully will understand.
