Hello my brother I'm a Christian Assyrian from Indiana USA. I know what's happening in your country right now and we are going to pray for you and your family to keep safe. Please tell others we are praying for all of them ok. With love from your brother
Hello Brother. I'm a follower of Yeshua/Jesus Christ of Nazareth here in Canada. There has been growing Anti-Christian persecution that has been happening in many parts of the world but it has been most deadly in the Middle East. May our Lord and Creator bless and protect those in Syria who are in the Body of Christ. I patiently await his return for new world filled with The Truth and he is Love. Amen
When I first found your videos, I didn't believe in God. But my husband knew my hesitation was built on doubt. Your work has helped me realize that God is real and Jesus is Lord and I can't believe I lived so many years without this understanding and love. Thank you for what you do. Truly, thank you. I can't speak for others, but you helped change my life. 🙏❤️🙌

Today is the 24th anniversary of my sobriety. This last year, watching channels like yours, gave me the idea to start my own channel. Songs I’ve written about my sobriety walk. It has already born fruit. Several young men have reached out for help. God Bless!
I’m sure you will be a blessing to many. There was alcoholism in my family, but thankfully has appeared to have skipped my generation and my children’s generation. Maybe it is gone forever!
I just donated a little. Wish I could do more, but my husband passed away 2 years ago and money is super tight. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me through my grief journey. Sending love & prayers for you to be able to continue producing these wonderful videos. They're not only educational but extremely comforting... and greatly appreciated.♥
The word of God learning or reading is really a great help as the Bible says that God will lift our burdens. It’s exactly what helped me getting through my mom passing away. So glad that the last thing she did while being still alive was not give up on trying to bring me to Jesus. I look back and thank God if that was her life purpose all along.
Sister, read this scripture below. This should be very encouraging to you! The principle of it directly applies to you! Grace and Peace to you sister. 🕊️🙏🏽🕊️ (Mark 12:42-44) “And a poor widow came and dropped in two tiny coins worth very little. Summoning His disciples, He said to them, “I assure you: This poor widow has put in more than all those giving to the temple treasury. For they all gave out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she possessed - all she had to live on.”” ❤
@Sheltiesshangrila Sister, may I ask what state you reside in? Perhaps we are close. I’m so sincerely sorry for the great loss of your husband. May his memory always be a blessing. Ahmein.

Biggest and most important news is that this happened. Don't care which site is correct. Jesus went to Calvary and died for us ..... Thank God he rose again!!!! Now if we are filled with his Spirit we have him dwelling in us.... He has risen.... Hallelujah
I hope he does the new find of the mosaic floor underneath the Israeli prison, which reads ‘Jesus is God’. It’s circa 200AD, so far the earliest hard evidence than any other, of the declaration of Jesus’ divinity, which in archeological and secular history departments universities doctrine, based off of evidence, was not claimed until much later. This change will make them rethink a lot, again, about the New Testament, and the story of Jesus, and what is known about him.
My favorite you tube channel ever. Opening the Bible, learning history and archaeology by Joel Kramer has been a powerful journey I have taken, right in my living room. I was extremely ignorant but now I'm not as much. Lol 😂 Love he loves and respects The Lord. Praise God 😇🙏
I always enjoy Joel's work. It's interesting that Hadrian "pollluted" the sites of the crucifixion, the resurrection and the Temple Mount. It was common in ancient times to desecrate cultic (religious) sites by erecting either a statue to a rival deity or a latrine (see 2 Kings 10:26-28) so that they can no longer be used as a place of worship.
The proportion of Christians living in Bethlehem, after centuries of coexistence with Moslems, only dropped when a certain group took over last century. Hint: it wasn't the Moslems.
@@EmpireOfPanmure what a lie! christians under jewish control flourish! look what's happening them in Syria! they were 85% in Betlehem when Israel was there and their number dropped to 10% under the Palestine's control!!!!!!!!!! stop lying!!!
@@InaParas so how do you explain Christians dying in Syria, being beheaded in Afghanistan, and Christmas canceled in Bethlehem? while Christians volunteer (and Muslims) in the IDF? you're lying - you are not a christain!
Praying for y'all's continued safety in these tumultuous times! Thank you for all the hard work and dedication to provide such amazing content and teaching for us. Please stay safe in the middle east.
Brother, your book is such a treasure! The photos are huge and the details sharp. Overall, the quality of the book is a strong testimony to your scholarship and passion. I think it is easily worth double or triple the price -- bought one for myself and another as a gift. Thank you! Buy the book, everyone!
It is great to see that your subscription numbers continue to grow. I continue to send people to this channel because your work is so very important and well done.
Thanks Joel for the great teaching. We are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus and His finished work on the cross. Thank you Lord Jesus, all the glory and honor is yours.
Joel would be the best person I can think of to lead a trip to the Holy Land. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he is a true evangelist who cares about sharing the implications of what he has learned.
I purchased Joel's book for my son in law, for his Christmas gift! I'm so anxious for him to have it, and I think he will love it. I hope to afford to buy a copy for myself one day! I love Joel's videos and his excitement!!❤
Wow! We went to both sites and had no idea which one was the right one. Thanks for clearing up the confusion! Sure loved the garden tomb though. Incredible worship going on there. Glad Jesus lives inside us and we are with Him anywhere we stand.
I think that the Garden Tomb is a nice place to see what it may have looked like, even if the dating is off by 700 years, but ultimately the important factor is that Jesus’ tomb was empty.
I wish I could give this more thumb’s up! I went on a tour to the holy lands back in the 80’s and sure enough, they took us to the “place of the skull” which I think overlooked a bus station. It felt wrong to me at the time but what did I know. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! You’ve cleared up a nearly 30 yo question for me.
Shabbat Shalom! What a blessing to have a notification from you today!!! HalleluYAHWEH!!! May HIS blessings be upon you. In HIS only brought forth Son’s Name, YESHUA. Ahmein and Ahmein
Brother Joel, your videos are so edifying and encouraging, I forward them over and over. And for someone like me whose faith is never as strong as I want it, your videos are very impactful. BTW, I have bought and given away your book to at least 10 people who then tell me that they have so enjoyed all of the information and truth in your book. You and your family are in our prayers, keep up the great work Brother!
Joel, always excellent and edifying. I have a coment on the Latin translation of the ancient inscription. I read Domine Ivimus. “Domine” is the vocative case for “Lord!” “Ivimus” is the perfect active indicative, 3rd plural of “Io”, meaning “to go”, thus “we have come.” Putting it together it should read “Lord! We have come” is there an alternative reading you are referencing? Either way the statement is a powerful declaration of faith. Some have suggested that this inscription is a respond to psalm 122 where the pilgrim is enjoined to visit Jesusalem with the exhortation in the Latin Vulgate “Ibimus” a future third person plural of “io’, thus “we will go to Jerusalem” in that sense “Ivimus”, the perfect announces the completion of the pilgrimage that “Ibimus’’ ,the future form, invites the pilgrim to undertake. It’s a kind of Mission Accomplished statement.
Thanks, once again for an all-inspiring video presentation on Golgotha. We love your content Joel and always look forward to the next one! Have a blessed Christmas!
Christ died for our sins and rose again the third day. Trust in the blood of Jesus to pay for your sins to be saved. Rightly divide the word of truth. All glory to God in Jesus name Amen
I love these videos! My Mom and brother got to go to Israel and spent a decent amount of time being able to see these places. I probably will never get to go there but your videos make me feel like I have. I also purchased your book, I just love it. It’s full of so much information that most people would never know even if they take a tour. Thank you so much, Merry blessed Christmas✝️
Thank you Joel and your son this video is AMAZING!! I’m getting your book for Christmas and can’t wait!! Thank you for this channel and all your amazing work. It has been an answer to my prayers and stirred up and deepened my love and passion for God!
Thank you Mr. Kramer for yet another most excellent video. I cannot express how grateful I am every time you release a new one. They are so well done. You truly are gifted by God with His giving talent, to make these so very informative, with crystal clear graphics, that make them completely understandable, what it is you are conveying. God's blessings be on you always ! Thanks yet again, for what you do and the way you do it, with such of highest quality !
You guys stay safe over there. Always love your guys's videos. Keep going! I am curious about what your thoughts are on Ron Wyatt's claims to finding Golgotha outside of the old city walls. Also, the finding of the cross-hole, Ark of the Covenant, along with many other objects from the first temple, and the Blood of Christ? I'd really like to get YOUR take on this. Like I said, stay safe with all that's going on over there. You guys are in my prayers. Please keep up the awesome work you guys are doing. God bless.
Yeah, that’s what I kept thinking about; I’ll admit, I much prefer Ron’s vision of events. Anything/place that is so venerated/worshiped by the Catholic Church is immediately suspect to my mind. Joel makes some interesting points though…
I have been to The Church of the Holy Sepulchre while in Israel for work. A very exciting time for me to walk these places of Jesus Christ...God Bless all.
When are we getting a Part Two to the book? I really loved Where God Came Down. The diagrams and illustrations give you a great grasp of what were talking about. Stay safe in Israel 🇮🇱🏴🇺🇲
What I like about both sites existing is that the one has the holiness of being the specific place where Christ died. The other has basically been relatively untouched for all of this time and gives you the feeling and look of having been at the Tomb where Jesus laid. If I took a group today, I would take them to both and say "here is where it happened, and here is what the tomb looked like".
Ron Wyatt spent his own money and time to find many biblical sites others missed. He was the one I follow. about biblical archeology. He is in heaven now with Jesus. ❤
Amazing! Your videos are wonderful and your passion for leading others to our Lord is honest and righteous. Thank you for sharing the encryption with us!
Your videos are true blessings, and this one is the BEST Video yet Joel! Think you can do one on the new archeology findings at the Pool of Siloam? Keep up the fascinating true Biblical History lessons Joel!! We pray for you and your family's safety in the Holy Land.
Theres is some archeological evidence under skull hill. Thats where the ark of the covenant is. Christs blood anointed the mercy seat to complete the sacrafice. Thank you Jesus.
I was in Israel in September 2024 I made a pilgrimage to both The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Protestant Golgotha I was asking my friend and then checking on Google but This video is very informative and helpful to learn and teach Thanks very much and God bless Mathew Mohan Thomas from India
What about Ron Wyatt's claim of skull hill next to the garden sepulchre, and what was discovered there? The cave he excavated below it and the 3 cross holes and finding the ark of the covenant below the crucifixion site? 🤔
Thank you for sharing with us, Joel, I love your videos and look forward to seeing each one! God bless you and yours in our Lord & Savior, Jesus/YeshuaH! Hugzzz
Was Golgotha the place where David buried the head/skull of Goliath? One little known narrative is that after David kills and beheads Goliath he took it back to Jerusalem in triumph but could not bring the head into the city because of Jewish Law so it was buried outside the city Gates. Hence the location became referred to as “the place of the skull”. How valid could this particular “claim” or “narrative” actually be?
I was discussing this with someone on Sunday in Washington, DC at the Holocaust museum. I thank God this video came up. It answered a question we were having about Golgotha. I am returning to finish the tour and I will share the video with the person I was speaking to. Thank you for all of your hard work! I appreciate it! I will be purchasing your book and supporting you. I used to be a scientist before I became a Pastor. It is important to have physical evidence to support what is in the Word. It helps to confirm the Word. Thank you very much for what you do. I appreciate you. I have a question I would like to ask. I will be emailing you. I was unable to find the answer on Google. It is an archeological question about bones found. I was looking for a Christian archeological answer to my question. Thank you once again for all that you do! I appreciate it!! God bless you!
No they dont…..even the site that Jiel talks about doesnt matter. What matters is that a savior came to earth, gave his life for you so we coukd be one with him. THAT is what matters.
I wanted to believe skull hill was the location because the adjacent garden tomb was so peaceful compared to the mobs of people at the church of the holy sepulchre. But thanks for this in-depth analysis showing I was wrong.
@brison333 I have and at this point I am leaning towards the traditional location for the crucifixion. But I do agree with Wyatt and kornuke on the real location of Mount Sinai.
If skull hill was really where Jesus was crucified, there would be mobs of people there too. Have you not read in the Scriptures, “a great crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him”? (Mark 5:24)
I absolutely love your channel and your work! I pray blessings on you for doing this amazing work. I look forward to your videos when they come out. My Christian faith has taken off a few a few years ago and I feel like a new man because of it. thank you

And scripture points to salvation only through Jesus shed blood.
Your videos really help bring the Bible to life, showing the Bible is the perfect word of God. God bless you and your family Joel! 🙏

I’m on my second time through the Bible, and really become excited when you arrive. You add so much vision to the Bible.I really enjoy your channel.
It's an especially beautiful day when a new video drops on Expedition Bible.
And this Gospel of God's Kingdom, shall be preached in all the Earth, then the end shall come!!!
Matthew 24
I gave my boss your book last Christmas, he now watches your videos followed by the book. I'm buying me a copy this year.
yo.. ask her to work, JFC... this is not a buffet
I literally hunger for these videos. Thank you.
My favorite you tube channel ever. Opening the Bible, learning history and archaeology by Joel Kramer has been a powerful journey I have taken, right in my living room. I was extremely ignorant but now I'm not as much. Lol 😂 Love he loves and respects The Lord. Praise God 😇🙏
God bless you sister.
I always enjoy Joel's work. It's interesting that Hadrian "pollluted" the sites of the crucifixion, the resurrection and the Temple Mount. It was common in ancient times to desecrate cultic (religious) sites by erecting either a statue to a rival deity or a latrine (see 2 Kings 10:26-28) so that they can no longer be used as a place of worship.
great work like always - my heart goes out to the christians in Betlehem who are suffering in the hands of the Muslims.
You mean at the hands of the jews?
The proportion of Christians living in Bethlehem, after centuries of coexistence with Moslems, only dropped when a certain group took over last century. Hint: it wasn't the Moslems.
@@EmpireOfPanmure what a lie! christians under jewish control flourish! look what's happening them in Syria! they were 85% in Betlehem when Israel was there and their number dropped to 10% under the Palestine's control!!!!!!!!!! stop lying!!!
Im a Christian,living in Jerusalem. Christians from Bethlehem do not suffer from Muslims. We are suffering in the hands of Israel state!!!!
@@InaParas so how do you explain Christians dying in Syria, being beheaded in Afghanistan, and Christmas canceled in Bethlehem? while Christians volunteer (and Muslims) in the IDF? you're lying - you are not a christain!
Praying for y'all's continued safety in these tumultuous times! Thank you for all the hard work and dedication to provide such amazing content and teaching for us. Please stay safe in the middle east.
Woah. The “Yes Lord we will go” inscription blew my mind!!
It is not what is written. This guy dont know ancient latin
@@insolitmag5824Please explain then.
Made me cry
@@insolitmag5824
Yes, please explain exactly and specifically what the inscription says.
@@insolitmag5824 I think I'll believe the Armenian Priest & Joel.
Thank you Joel!!! How fascinating!!! I am so glad to see that the Bible and archaeology is coming together like never before. Praise God!!!❤
The sense of reverence I felt learning the information presented in this video is humbling.
Brother, your book is such a treasure! The photos are huge and the details sharp. Overall, the quality of the book is a strong testimony to your scholarship and passion. I think it is easily worth double or triple the price -- bought one for myself and another as a gift. Thank you! Buy the book, everyone!
It is great to see that your subscription numbers continue to grow. I continue to send people to this channel because your work is so very important and well done.
Thank you for teaching me about the Bible and Josephus. You are helping me learn so much.
I literally get SO EXCITED when I see you have posted a new video!!!! I would love it if you made one with more information about Lot's cave.
Fascinating video. Love your work brother. May the Lord bless and keep you and your family.
Thanks Joel for the great teaching. We are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus and His finished work on the cross. Thank you Lord Jesus, all the glory and honor is yours.
May God Almighty bless you!
I have been waiting for this video for years. Thanks Joel.
Enjoying these Expedition Bible episodes!
I appreciate how you show relationships between landmarks.
loved this! The inscription at the end made me cry. It is what we are to do. Thank you for this!!
Joel would be the best person I can think of to lead a trip to the Holy Land. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he is a true evangelist who cares about sharing the implications of what he has learned.
Someday, I hope to attend a tour. Joel, will you be taking any trips to Israel in the next year?
ive waited for two months for a new video from you. Thank you
❤
I love when this guy posts
I purchased Joel's book for my son in law, for his Christmas gift! I'm so anxious for him to have it, and I think he will love it. I hope to afford to buy a copy for myself one day! I love Joel's videos and his excitement!!❤
I have the book, it's amazing
Keep your videos coming! Love sharing them to my church family. Love the book too!
Yes!!!!!! Joel and Barry are rockstars at our house! Thank you for all you do to spread the Good News of Jesus! ♥️
Thanks again for another Biblical history lesson my good man. Praise rhe Lord!
Wow! We went to both sites and had no idea which one was the right one. Thanks for clearing up the confusion! Sure loved the garden tomb though. Incredible worship going on there. Glad Jesus lives inside us and we are with Him anywhere we stand.
I think that the Garden Tomb is a nice place to see what it may have looked like, even if the dating is off by 700 years, but ultimately the important factor is that Jesus’ tomb was empty.
Been waiting for months for another video, thank you Mr. Kramer you are such a blessing showing us these findings 🙏
Thank you - I bought your book 'Where God came down'
I wish I could give this more thumb’s up! I went on a tour to the holy lands back in the 80’s and sure enough, they took us to the “place of the skull” which I think overlooked a bus station. It felt wrong to me at the time but what did I know. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! You’ve cleared up a nearly 30 yo question for me.
Shabbat Shalom! What a blessing to have a notification from you today!!! HalleluYAHWEH!!! May HIS blessings be upon you. In HIS only brought forth Son’s Name, YESHUA. Ahmein and Ahmein
Thank you Joel and to your family. I give thanks to God for you and for your ministry. A real blessing to me and to many around the world
Another phenomenal episode! God bless you Joel!!! 🙏🏻
Brother Joel, your videos are so edifying and encouraging, I forward them over and over. And for someone like me whose faith is never as strong as I want it, your videos are very impactful.
BTW, I have bought and given away your book to at least 10 people who then tell me that they have so enjoyed all of the information and truth in your book.
You and your family are in our prayers, keep up the great work Brother!
Joel, always excellent and edifying. I have a coment on the Latin translation of the ancient inscription. I read Domine Ivimus. “Domine” is the vocative case for “Lord!” “Ivimus” is the perfect active indicative, 3rd plural of “Io”, meaning “to go”, thus “we have come.” Putting it together it should read “Lord! We have come” is there an alternative reading you are referencing? Either way the statement is a powerful declaration of faith.
Some have suggested that this inscription is a respond to psalm 122 where the pilgrim is enjoined to visit Jesusalem with the exhortation in the Latin Vulgate “Ibimus” a future third person plural of “io’, thus “we will go to Jerusalem” in that sense “Ivimus”, the perfect announces the completion of the pilgrimage that “Ibimus’’ ,the future form, invites the pilgrim to undertake. It’s a kind of Mission Accomplished statement.
Yes Lord, we will go❤
Mar-anatha❤❤❤
Thanks, once again for an all-inspiring video presentation on Golgotha. We love your content Joel and always look forward to the next one! Have a blessed Christmas!
Thank you, Dr Joel Kramer.
I’ve waited for so long for THIS. Thank youuuuu!!!!!!!! You left me in tears. This is wonderful to have so clearly explained!!!
I get excited when I see a new video drop! God is using you and your team in mighty ways! Keep it up!
Brilliant as always
Christ died for our sins and rose again the third day. Trust in the blood of Jesus to pay for your sins to be saved. Rightly divide the word of truth. All glory to God in Jesus name Amen
So excited! My whole family loves this channel! Keep the videos coming!
I love these videos! My Mom and brother got to go to Israel and spent a decent amount of time being able to see these places. I probably will never get to go there but your videos make me feel like I have. I also purchased your book, I just love it. It’s full of so much information that most people would never know even if they take a tour. Thank you so much, Merry blessed Christmas✝️
Thank you Joel and your son this video is AMAZING!! I’m getting your book for Christmas and can’t wait!! Thank you for this channel and all your amazing work. It has been an answer to my prayers and stirred up and deepened my love and passion for God!
It's wrong.
Thank you Mr. Kramer for yet another most excellent video. I cannot express how grateful I am every time you release a new one. They are so well done. You truly are gifted by God with His giving talent, to make these so very informative, with crystal clear graphics, that make them completely understandable, what it is you are conveying.
God's blessings be on you always ! Thanks yet again, for what you do and the way you do it, with such of highest quality !
Such a blessing Joel. Thank you❤
Thank you Lord…..I appreciate what you did for us on the Cross.
Yay! Praise God! I have been waiting for a new episode because I love this UA-cam series. Hope you are well Joel and enjoying your holidays
You guys stay safe over there. Always love your guys's videos. Keep going!
I am curious about what your thoughts are on Ron Wyatt's claims to finding Golgotha outside of the old city walls. Also, the finding of the cross-hole, Ark of the Covenant, along with many other objects from the first temple, and the Blood of Christ? I'd really like to get YOUR take on this.
Like I said, stay safe with all that's going on over there. You guys are in my prayers. Please keep up the awesome work you guys are doing. God bless.
Ron Wyatt never gave proof for his claims, he was a fraud
So good to see you again Joel. Thank you for another well presented video. Evidence is overwhelming regarding the site of His crucifixion.
Love your work
I always look forward to these expeditions
Excited about your videos
Really enjoy your book!
Wherever Ron White said Golgotha was, is what I believe. HE was crucified and His blood ran down and spilled onto the Ark.. fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, that’s what I kept thinking about; I’ll admit, I much prefer Ron’s vision of events.
Anything/place that is so venerated/worshiped by the Catholic Church is immediately suspect to my mind.
Joel makes some interesting points though…
This is the most detailed and informative video on Golgotha, ,Calvary. Thank you. Can't wait to get your book.
😂
I have been to The Church of the Holy Sepulchre while in Israel for work. A very exciting time for me to walk these places of Jesus Christ...God Bless all.
Thank you so much Joel. Know that the Lord is using your work.
Great episode! I just bought the book to give to my aunt Sandra (a big fan of your channel) for Christmas.
I am always waiting for your new uploads.
Same here!
Me too haha
Me too. Got the notification as I was going to bed, it’s now 1:40am. Couldn’t wait 😀
We are a blessed group today.
When are we getting a Part Two to the book? I really loved Where God Came Down. The diagrams and illustrations give you a great grasp of what were talking about. Stay safe in Israel 🇮🇱🏴🇺🇲
What I like about both sites existing is that the one has the holiness of being the specific place where Christ died. The other has basically been relatively untouched for all of this time and gives you the feeling and look of having been at the Tomb where Jesus laid. If I took a group today, I would take them to both and say "here is where it happened, and here is what the tomb looked like".
Except when Constantine's mother decided that was the place it was a pagan worship site. He is wrong.
How informative, detailed and authentic your video is! God bless you and your service!
That was a fantastic preach brother. Thank you.
Joel, all your videos are very good. I found this one the most emotionally satisfying and encouraging of them all.
i really 'dig' these videos !! thanks fam !! Shabbat Shalomie homies !!
I bought your book and love it 🙏
Same
If you’re on the fence for which site location it is. Watch the Ron Wyatt documentary about finding the ark of the covenant.
I was looking for mentions of Ron Wyatt and found it ! Indeed I agree.Ron Wyatt discoveries are the real deal
There’s a tremendous amount of poetry in his interpretations. Whether they are to believe it or not, there’s an entirely different question.
Ron Wyatt has been proven to be a fraud.
Exactly
The real tomb is the second one
Ron Wyatt wasn't wrong, when he also testify about this site! Very inspiring 👏🏻
Ron Wyatt spent his own money and time to find many biblical sites others missed. He was the one I follow. about biblical archeology. He is in heaven now with Jesus.
❤
Yes, indeed he is. Truly found a place…. It all makes sense. Ark of covenant was below the crucified Christ.

You are my favorite UA-cam channel. God bless you, Joel.
Always blessed by Expedition Bible!
Thank you for the video. I can't wait for the next show.
Amazing! Your videos are wonderful and your passion for leading others to our Lord is honest and righteous. Thank you for sharing the encryption with us!
Yes another video !!!!
I really enjoyed your book
Another excellent video from our brother Joel. Well done !!!!!
I just ordered your book for my mom as a christmas present, love all of these videos!
My son bought me a copy of Joel's book for Mother's Day this year🎉 one of the best presents I've ever received❤
It was on my Christmas list last year but I didn't get it. Maybe this year😄
Your videos are true blessings, and this one is the BEST Video yet Joel! Think you can do one on the new archeology findings at the Pool of Siloam? Keep up the fascinating true Biblical History lessons Joel!! We pray for you and your family's safety in the Holy Land.
Theres is some archeological evidence under skull hill. Thats where the ark of the covenant is. Christs blood anointed the mercy seat to complete the sacrafice. Thank you Jesus.
I was in Israel in September 2024
I made a pilgrimage to both The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Protestant Golgotha I was asking my friend and then checking on Google but
This video is very informative and helpful to learn and teach
Thanks very much and God bless
Mathew Mohan Thomas from India
What about Ron Wyatt's claim of skull hill next to the garden sepulchre, and what was discovered there? The cave he excavated below it and the 3 cross holes and finding the ark of the covenant below the crucifixion site? 🤔
Ron Wyatt isn't an archeologist, his finds are not reliable and are all hearsay.
Ron Wyatt is a fraud
Not even a mention of Ron Wyatt in this video? Unless I missed it.
It's 100% x💯💯💯💯💯💯💯. Truth.
... and The Blood drops on the Ark of the Covenant, samples of which were taken, tested and found to be living.
Thank you for sharing with us, Joel, I love your videos and look forward to seeing each one! God bless you and yours in our Lord & Savior, Jesus/YeshuaH! Hugzzz
Was Golgotha the place where David buried the head/skull of Goliath? One little known narrative is that after David kills and beheads Goliath he took it back to Jerusalem in triumph but could not bring the head into the city because of Jewish Law so it was buried outside the city Gates. Hence the location became referred to as “the place of the skull”.
How valid could this particular “claim” or “narrative” actually be?
That seems stretch 😬
I've heard the same thing. Something about how "Goliath of Gath" could be permutated into "Golgotha" (GOLiath + GATH/GOTH).
@@blues05 how?
I was discussing this with someone on Sunday in Washington, DC at the Holocaust museum. I thank God this video came up. It answered a question we were having about Golgotha. I am returning to finish the tour and I will share the video with the person I was speaking to. Thank you for all of your hard work! I appreciate it! I will be purchasing your book and supporting you. I used to be a scientist before I became a Pastor. It is important to have physical evidence to support what is in the Word. It helps to confirm the Word. Thank you very much for what you do. I appreciate you. I have a question I would like to ask. I will be emailing you. I was unable to find the answer on Google. It is an archeological question about bones found. I was looking for a Christian archeological answer to my question. Thank you once again for all that you do! I appreciate it!! God bless you!
Ron Wyatts discoveries in the area of Zedekiahs cave near Damascus gate have to be taken into consideration.
Christ wasn’t crucified in Damascus.
I think Perfect is talk ing about the Damascus Gate located on the northern wall of the Old City of Jerusalem.
No they dont…..even the site that Jiel talks about doesnt matter. What matters is that a savior came to earth, gave his life for you so we coukd be one with him. THAT is what matters.
The gates of Jerusalem all had names. Damascus gate is one of them @@ankereisenman4824
Ron Wyatt is a fraud
This is SO good! Thank you. I pray for you and your family and wonderful work.
I wanted to believe skull hill was the location because the adjacent garden tomb was so peaceful compared to the mobs of people at the church of the holy sepulchre. But thanks for this in-depth analysis showing I was wrong.
The garden tomb is a fraud, and the skull hill most likely didn't look like a skull 2k years ago
Have you watched Ron Wyatts discoveries?
@brison333 I have and at this point I am leaning towards the traditional location for the crucifixion. But I do agree with Wyatt and kornuke on the real location of Mount Sinai.
If skull hill was really where Jesus was crucified, there would be mobs of people there too. Have you not read in the Scriptures, “a great crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him”? (Mark 5:24)
I absolutely love your channel and your work! I pray blessings on you for doing this amazing work. I look forward to your videos when they come out. My Christian faith has taken off a few a few years ago and I feel like a new man because of it. thank you
