Regarding what was said about the haftarah, I got a similar inkling a while back researching the timing of the immersion accounts, because of what is found in Luke 4:16-21, where the Master reads from Yeshayah 61:1-2a. Nitzavim is in the 51st week of the year, just before the going out of the...

Very astute. I don't find many who agree with me in this but you and I do agree. And therefore Paul says, If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, (1Cor 15:35-49 (v. 44)), and moreover he admonishes the reader elsewhere to sow to-toward-into the Spirit, (Gal 6:7-8).

I hadn't seen it yet, but thanks for the link, and I'll watch it tonight seeing it is only a half hour. EDIT: I just watched the whole thing. That was great. :)

Let's take your first quoted statement above herein: it may or may not be true that the Creator made/created all things simple concerning the scripture, but if it is indeed true concerning the scripture, then that would only apply in the original languages in which the scripture was written...

I took my image file for the hours of calendar day, (both civil and sacred), which is essentially a sundial, and slightly increased the size to get it to match the picture of the artifact below. It is not an exact match but that is likely because the image of the artifact is taken from a...

@HARK! PS: I apologize, in my last post I forgot to mention something I'm pretty sure would be important to you about that link. When I went there I did not need to download the PDF to read it. The opening top page is made to look as though you need to download the PDF in order to read it but...

One thing I learned a long time ago: not only archeology, but also science, and even Christian scholarship are all plagued with the idea and background thinking that the ancients were not much better off than neanderthals, (whether some realize it or not). All are not that way, but the majority...

Thanks for the link, (by the way, that link took me to a duckduckgo search, but I found the article by erasing the duckduckgo portion of the web address). In the article the portion which you have quoted appears to be a quote from the author of the PDF quoting the words of another author. The...

I took eighteen frames from Stellarium, (version 0.22.2), facing due north on the horizon roundabout 3711 BC, (the year of the flood according to my understanding of the LXX chronology), and made an animated GIF to show what I mean about Corona Borealis being one of the constellations "rolling...

Take the image file I posted on the previous page and simply flip it, (vertically), and the dial would then be facing due south instead of due north, and the marks that are on the top of the dial become the bottom of the dial as it faces southward to the south pole. Facing due north: Facing...

It may have been mounted on a type of platform angled on both sides, (north and south), where the sundial could be flipped at the autumnal equinox so as to be functional during the second half of the year. An equatorial sundial only works facing due north from the vernal equinox to the autumnal...

I do not understand that symbol-sign for Qoph as the sun on the horizon but rather as a measuring line, H6957 קו Qaw, Qow, (used 22 times in the Prophets), meaning that the symbol is a stick with a ball of twine wound up on the center of the stick, a very common construction tool for the...

Todah rabah and the same to you and yours! During the night of remembrance the Master gave me this to eat: And when I had consumed everything I understood that I was wrong, it is not a horizontal sundial, it is an equatorial or equinoctial sundial, which means it had to have been set on an...

Sounds good! By the way, that ayin on the bottom of the Qumran sundial may well have a link to something the Master says in the Gospel of Matthew, and thus, yet another possible link to the Yahad at Qumran-Damascus, and a possible underlying (sod) calendar reference. καρφος = a dry twig or...

Holy (red heifer) cow! After going back just now, and reading down to the end of the page, this appears to be the site owner's reading of the sundial found at Qumran. If his reading is correct then he has discovered an incredibly important piece of the Tzadok calendar puzzle. Whether you realize...

The line of sixes and fives is just a simple mathematical sequence that makes it easy to calculate long time spans, though without adequate explanation, (on my part), it may look confusing. The fives and sixes are spans of years. Picture the sequence as counting blocks of years just as if you...

There is a 186 year cycle embedded in the text of the genealogies which strongly suggests that the ancients knew about this cycle. It is not something anyone would know about or even consider outside of calendrical observations and calculations, and one would not know about it at all if the true...

He has certainly done a lot of studying for the good. I'm at about 45 minutes currently, but watching it in portions, time permitting. Thanks for sharing this.

Interesting concept: it makes me wonder if you are an SDA? Not that it matters either way but if you are hinting at the purported discovery of the Ark of the Covenant by Ron Wyatt, I think the record he left concerning those events is quite compelling, except for one thing, that is, the supposed...

I will just quote the KJV here: John 20:16-17 KJV 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my...
