Dale you obviously didn't get it. The cave has the earliest written name Jesus inside, a fig tree guards the entrance. All I meant ironic a fig tree out of all the trees that could of grown up there. I remember a story Jesus was hungry for figs came upon a fig tree with no fruit and he rebuked it saying may you never bear fruit again. While passing upon bye that fig tree again his apostles noticed the fig tree Jesus rebuked had died from the roots up. Not that this tree in the vidoes is that tree. Shows how much you've paid attention to what is written in those scriptures.

@@colemansquestforthehunt6423 Im very familiar with that story you mention. Jesus rebuked a fig tree even though he had full knowledge that figs were not in season. But this video is attempting to present actual evidence of something being true and not just a story, which is all the new testament is. So use the reasoning in your brain that was given to you. It would be pretty easy for someone to plant a fig tree there, I doubt it was some sort of miracle or by chance. But it looks like a sign to those too eager to believe and not think.

The Supremacy of the Son of God - Colossians 1 - 15 : 23 "15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation- 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant." Hosanna to the King of Kings! 👑+✝️+🔥 The Holy Triune

Praise Jesus!

"The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever protects their master will be honored." Prov. 27:18 The fig tree in front of this cave is very symbolic of that verse - "guarding" the entrance to that cave. All who accept the validity of this inscription are protecting the sacredness of Christ as King in the depths of their hearts, just as this cave in the ground is protecting the inscription.

It wasn't just the Romans persecuting the followers of Jesus ... The Sanhedrin also attempted to destroy the Church... The Romans are long gone....So is the Sanhedrin... The CHURCH OF CHRIST still exists !!!

Keep up the good work Joel…love your faithful commitment and really appreciate your knowledge.

Thank you for your dedication brother . May GOD bless and keep you .

Praise Jesus our Lord and Savior!!!

😭 THANK YOU JESUS 😊 THANK YOU FATHER, thank you JESUS for taking our place 🙏 LOVE YOU FATHER and JESUS my SAVIOR.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful proof of Jesus through archaelogy. May God bless your work for His glory.

The veneration of the cross as a symbol, still common today, is only documented from the 4th century, the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great. Before that it was The Fish or Ancor & 2 Dolphin (Appolo) Revised to Ancor & 2 fish. Cross & 2 fish. It has a very traceable path. You do know Archaeologists have unearthed the tombs of 71 Yeshua's from the period of Jesus' death. This is not one. There may have been a Jesus failed messiah, but it means nothing.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. Yes. Very true. Jesus is more than a historical figure of the past. He lives and breathes in his people to this very day.

Amin! Glory to God! My spiritual ancestors worshipped in caves and catacombs since the Apostolic age! I'm Eastern Orthodox.

Praise God! Thank you for this.

Please keep this up! It is a great tool for us to teach our children the truth!!

I absolutely LOVE your documentaries! I am so grateful you are able to actually go to these places (I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO) and see these artifacts personally and share them with the world!

I surely agree that god came from heaven to tell us about the good news in human life ..... praise the lord....Amen...

I have direct evidence of Jesus because I speak in tongues. Speaking in tongues is the Bible evidence of salvation 😇

Glory to You Lord Jesus

I have examined the koine Greek letters in the first inscription. It says: Iesous. This is exactly how the Christians at that time, spelled the name Jesus in the Greek language used in the first and second century.

Thank you for sharing such important fact. More to our Lord's presence

Bravo, that is the Good News, The Gospel in a nutshell.. yahoo!!!

Awesome channel. I love all the archeological evidence you present.

My Pastor is an archaeologist. He brought me closer. he was telling me about a certain doorway hinge or something to the subject. what they found lined up with scripture. fascinating!

Such awesome discoveries they are making these days. It seems God is showing us more and more, faster and faster to get us prepared for his coming.

Jesus is Lord

Thank you for your work!

Amen, Amen. Thank You, Father God. Thank you, Jesus. Never leave me, Holy Spirit.

Blessed are those who believe without seeing

Read J Warner Wallace’s book, “Person of Interest” for forensic evidence.

Thank you Jesus ! Great video

You are saving souls and strengthening faith Brother! Please do not stop! God bless you!

Absolutely brilliant! I would love to go there! Amen*

Amen.Glory to the Father always!

Thanks for these KZread videos, Joel. (My wife and I also read and appreciated your book.) Regarding the translation, the first word is definitely the name for Jesus. The second word appears literally as “οδε” in Greek. I am not an expert - not even close. However, it seems that, although lexically, this word is defined as “an entity regarded as relatively present in terms of the discourse setting,” in practice, it doesn’t simply translate as “present” in the translations (that I checked). Rather, if it is translated at all, translators seem to often represent it like a pronoun such as “this” or “this one.” I looked at examples in the Greek OT (LXX), including the exact lexical form as found in Exodus 8:25, 17:6; Lev 10:16; Num 23:6, 17. Yet, the references did not clarify the meaning at all (to me), especially of the translation of “present.” I also noted, for what it is worth, the lexical form “οδε” in the LXX is always followed by some other main verb. I did attempt to consider an alternative translation. Even though I would not say this was a successful effort, another attempt might make note of the following observations: 1) The inscription reads “Ιεσους” instead of how it reads in NT Greek (“Ιησοῦς”). So, the writer substituted an ε instead of an η (and this is likely due to a Romanized style). 2) That being the case, then “οδε” could likely also be the commonly Romanized version of the Greek “ᾠδή” (the noun, meaning “ode”). As I am sure you know, an ode is an ancient lyrical “song” of praise that occurs very often in the LXX. E.g. Many psalms are introduced as “an ode/song by (or pertaining to) David.” Sometimes, depending on the context, the word is also translated as “singer(s)” e.g., 1Chron 15:22. If we tentatively grant the Romanized form of the noun “ode/song,” then we have the name “Jesus” plus the noun for “song/singer.” Yet, problematically, there is no verb. In this case, the inscription does not make good sense if the verb “to be” is implied (“Jesus is/was/will be a song/singer.”) Certainly the noun proposal would have made a little more sense if the word order had been reversed and with the dative case (Ιησοῦ) “A song to Jesus” The Greek “ᾄδω” is the verb form “to sing.” As an aside, both words occur together in Rev 14:3 (“they sing a new song”). Although the verbal form would fit the context better (basically “praise Jesus”), the actual written form of the inscription seems too different to allow for this idea. It would not follow the observed pattern of letter substitution noted above either. Another (even less likely, but still worth mentioning) Romanized candidate might have been "αδων" (i.e., the Greek noun Adon, which transliterates the Hebrew name for Lord). Thus “Jesus is Lord.” However, again, it seems the inscribed form is too different from the Greek noun for “lord.” So, all that said, although the inscription was clear to the original Christian writer/audience, I wish I was more convinced about the translation. I would be appreciative of further clarification if available. Certainly, doubt about the exact translation doesn’t take away from the major premise of the video as archaeological evidence for early Christian belief in Jesus.

This just came to me while reading your comment referring to the translation of "this one" "this" and the Word which translates as "JESUS"... But for so.e reason this phrase INSTANTLY "came" to mind... perhaps the proper translation is... "Jesus IS One".... That said... may HE whom IS "EVER present" bless all whom sees this .

Hi Todd, In a nutshell the inscription has what are called "lunate forms" of Epsilon and Eta, and a more simplified Iota. The inscription is a variant spelling of the name Jesus that substitutes an Epsilon with Eta. This variant is known (some from the Galilee) and there are many parallels as there also are for the lunate forms and simplified Iota from the Greek name of Jesus found in many other inscriptions. The full title of the article about this inscription is as follows: A Greek Inscription: "Jesus is Present" of the Late Roman Period at Beth Loya by Titus Kennedy.
