[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 71577199, member: 293637"] "[I]The woman said to Him ...'Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.' Jesus said to her, 'Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. [B]You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews[/B]. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.'[/I]" - John 4:20-24 In saying "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews." Jesus is saying that the Jewish position is correct; however ultimately that won't matter. After the closing of the Tyrian mint, the Romans only permitted the Jews to continue to mint the Tyrian Shekel if they continued to use the same images--this was a way for Rome to continue to express its own control over the Jews. As soon as the Great Revolt broke out, coins were minted without the image of Melqart-Herakles: [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Half_Shekel.jpg[/IMG] -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
