Congratulations also to my City of Davis guide Judas. In 2019 I asked him when the rest of the Siloam Pool would be excavated. He replied then that it was a matter of time and money alone. Now it has become a reality sooner than we thought at the time: I look forward to being back soon!
Wouldn’t it be thrilling to not only walk the steps, but to also learn and sing the songs of ascent. Are they still sung? How I would love to experience that. What a profound time of worship!
Of course the songs of ascent are still sung. All the Psalms have tunes. Different streams of Judaism have different tunes and I believe there are different tunes for the same Psalms depending on context.
Absolutely fascinating to learn the reason for the Psalms of Ascent! I wish growing up as a Catholic we were taught about the Rituals of Judaism and the Old Testament so we could understand the New Testament's meaning. They never made any sense to me because of poor explanations without the Jewish context. I only just learned that Easter is the Sunday after Passover, yet the priests of the Church still don't explain it like that. So much to learn!
Watch “before the wrath” on TH-cam. Michael Rood, Nehemia Gordon, and other teachers go over the Hebrew Yeshua for understanding of Old Testament translations and 2/3 of Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ) teachings were around Galilean culture. The video will just pop with understanding of what the words meant. In school I was taught you have to understand the zeitgeist (spirit of the times) in which a book was written to help understand the comments and practices better. God bless
Hi Easter is a pagan fertility goddess feast on a Solstice calendar! PASSOVER is on the prophetic BIBLICAL CALENDAR that Jesus Yeshua is fulfilling starting with Him being ‘ The spotless Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world’ and RETURNING to reign over the world from Jerusalem on the feast of TABERNACLES! ‘ Come out of her ( mystery Babylon) my people lest ye receive of her plagues, ( At the return of Christ).
These interviews are always so well done. Interviewer is so knowledgeable. This guest is so interesting too. Can’t wait to see what come of this excavation.
Try reading the Talmud, it says that jesus is boiling in excrement for eternity, as well as saying that Christians and everyone else are cattle to be used and abused by 'God's chosen people'
This is SUPER AMAZING, praise God ✝️🙏💜 respect and admiration for all the archeologists volunteers all working together THE BIBLE IS ALIVE, AMEN 💯👍💯👍💯👍🤗
@@nancybraybrooks5509 No, we are not. We are renting a car and driving all over Israel for 3 weeks. We had a short 3 day visit as a stop on a Mediterranean Cruise in 2016 and a few of the main sites. We are really looking forward to a more in depth visit this time. I hope you have a great visit!
@@yakovmatityahu Everything included (airfare, car rental, food, tours (mostly while in Jerusalem), taxi (while in Jerusalem), entry fees to sites, travel insurance, gasoline, and laundry) our cost should be around $15,000-$16,000. Our accommodations average around $225 to $250/night. There will be two of us. We have had to postpone our trip until April 2024 for a variety of reasons though.
The sanctuary was located over the living water that flowed freely and was fresh. That was in the city of David. It all has spiritual meaning to be correct.
I visited Israel in 2015. Our Israeli guide told us that many years earlier he guided Neil Armstrong, who said that climbing the southern steps was a more moving experience for him than walking on the moon had been.
To Marlene, I have a MA in Theology from St. Vincent Seminary. There is always something NEW to be learned, even for me. Don't beat yourself up. I know, from my Protestant relatives that they don't know stuff too.
The Lord you are referring to, and the Lord the Armstrongism refers to, may Not be 1 & the same, as Armstrongism is Not Christian in the day of their founder Herbert in any event. They are a cult in the negative sense. ✡️✝️🙏🇨🇦🔥😘🇮🇱
I have never been to Israel but I do want to go there some day. I've never gone anywhere in an airplane but I believe I could build up enough courage to fly to be able to get to Israel! I just have to save enough money. Thank you for the interview it was amazing.
I hope you make it there Stacy. I 🙏 you do!. I would like to live it through you cause I can't make it there I am sick and disabled. I hope you can live your dream! God Bless.
If God wants you there and you want what God wants , a WAY , WILL BE MADE FOR YOU , .LET GOD ASTONISH YOU, HE DID IT FOR ME , A beautiful friend I met in the 80s , came to nz and told me , I want to send you to Israel , , This was a longing of my heart to go , SO I told her yes , I'll go, but not as a tourist , I'll go as a worker ,You arrange the tickets , I'll leave it up to you, My Jewish friend went back to England, and sent me and my hubby , tickets for a 6 month stay, , The whole experience was miraculous in hundreds of ways , God Bless Israel , and greeting to Rachel Bayouk , another friend I met at Tel HA Shomer. SALLY ROSE BE BLESSED! ,
I can't believe how exciting and wonderful and amazing all of this is! Biblical history coming to life, God's word making itself known in the stones as it were. And I thought his answer about what the Palestinians can expect was a meaningful and truthful answer if Jerusalem means what you say it means to you. Can't wait as this develops 🙏🏽🎉
1 By cool Siloam's shady rill how sweet the lily grows! How sweet the breath beneath the hill of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet the paths of peace have trod, whose secret heart with influence sweet is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill the lily must decay, the rose that blooms beneath the hill must shortly fade away; 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour of life's maturer age will shake the soul with sorrow's power and stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou, whose infant feet were found within thy Father's shrine, whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, were all alike divine, 6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath we seek thy grace alone, through every stage of life, and death, to keep us still thine own.
HI, How was ritual purification of the pilgrims done? and was there any additional preparation for the mother? or father? presenting their firstborn male child? Thanks this is exciting.
Ritual purification was done by immersion in a mikvah (ritual bath) such as the pool of Siloam, and for more serious issues such as contact with a dead body, but the ashes of the red heifer.
At 19:21 is the fork where the road on the right (northward) appears. That is likely the route for the Temple access. The road going toward the "Temple Mount" is likely just a commerce road to the upper area. Herod was all about business.
Very exciting! But could address the doubts about the current temple location? Being... 1. That Antonio fortress is not big enough to house 6000 Roman soldiers and their families, etc. 2. Jesus prophecy about not one stone standing upon another. 3. And current distance from Gihon spring, so say it was much closer.
Flights from Texas are crazy expensive to the point it's not even worth it. I'd love love to see Israel but 3 to 4k for two round trip tickets is way to high.
When I was a kid I didn't pay attention too well but as I grew into manhood I began to listen intently and this was a great interview and discussion of wonderful potential for Lovely Jerusalem. So I have to ask, who farted at 17:45?
No. You didn't grow into manhood. You are still an adolescent child. Although I doubt it you may one day have a revelation that opens your eyes to Jesus . For what other reason are you here ?
"I want" your operating in the flesh, we are told to put down the flesh. Just goes to show how many are still blind. There is no place for the flesh in scriptures or life. Crucify the flesh and your eyes will be opened to the things of the spirit, of which we are all called to seek, not the things of this world.
6:15 what I don’t understand though is how the pilgrims would have traveled from the Siloam pool to the Temple Mount before this road was built. I’ve heard Joe Uziel talk about how coins were found under the pilgrimage road that dates its construction to after 30 AD. Not to mention the fact that a sewer drain ran underneath the road, how would that not be defiling? As the road appears to have been built by the Romans, perhaps “Roman Road” would be a better name?
JERUSALEM IS THE ACEINT CHOSEN EARTHLY SITE AND CITY GOD CHOSE……it will be in the future part of his new world and continued expression of his Heavenly Government his Earthly Rule…..may God bless Jerusalem and continue to show all of us these marvellous historical reveals!!!
What if it is the older pool. Like we do know, they could have repaired and rebuilt what once was there and then also made it bigger than the original.
Wrong, the psalms were read going up The Coiurt of men (in front Sanctuary)not the side road in video. Second the priest went through the Eastern Gate not the Western gate shown in the video.
Thank you, God! ✝️ I got chills just thinking I'll be able to walk on the pilgrimage road from the City of David to the Pool of Siloam to where the temple was! Amen!!!
I remember sitting on those steps and drinking in the significance of the place, in April 2005. Excavation will astound the world. Your Bible is reliable..
Yesterday’s Gospel reading was this Bible story of Jesus healing the blind man on the sabbath. I love this information. So fascinating! Faith is faith and carries us along, but then new discoveries are revealed!
They are saying the Western Wall is the wall of the Temple but there is also a theory that the Temple was in the city of David (and not on the Temple Mount). The thing that makes sense to me in the second theory is the question of the location of the Roman fortress in Jerusalem. The dimensions of the Temple Mount match tradition Roman fort construction. The descriptions in the New Testament and Josephus describe the Roman fort as above that of the Temple. Since the Temple Mount is, though, the highest point then where was the Roman fort located?
I saw a video that went into detail explaining how there's no way possible that the Temple was in the City of David. They also discussed the Roman fort.
Are you escavating the Pool of Siloam are building it? Why are tractors being used? There are pictures all over the Internet of heavy machinery being used. That’s not archeology or escavation, it’s development.
They attempted to explain it, but not in any acceptable way. “We are removing the top soil to get to the the archeological part” isn’t really justification. The reason why there is so much chatter online about using tractors and heavy machinery is because they don’t belong in archaeology.
@@colevt There is absolutely nothing wrong with removing topsoil with a machine. There is absolutely no justification to use a spade and trowel when no architectural remains are present yet. This is standard practice.
@@armstrongstinstitute How do you know that no archeological remains are there if you’ve only had access to the site for months? It doesn’t take an archeologist to know that you don’t start the archeological process with a tractor. Anyone willing to do the slightest amount of research or anyone willing to critically think will know that your “standard procedure” comment is just wrong. I’ve been to the City of David and enjoyed the sights I saw. I’m was excited to hear that the Pool of Siliom was being uncovered. However, there is a right and wrong way to do things. It sounds to me like you are under a time crunch and are willing to do anything to finish in a timely manner and draw more tourist to the sight. It’s unfortunate the lengths you are willing to go to finish the project. This doesn’t seem scholarly. It seems like the opening of an attraction at an amusement park.
@@colevt Actually using heavy machinery to remove top soil before archaeological excavations is common - you just have an archaeologists watching as each inch is cut to below where the disturbed soil from rabbit holes and modern garbage dumping stop.
Amazing, praise God for all of you! What an honor it must be, to be a part of this journey.
Wow!! What a mind Mr. Orenstein has been gifted with. Not a skip in any of his thought processes during the entire interview. I'm envious. 🙂
I was thrilled to run into Ze'ev when at City of David in 2020 and he pulled out of his pocket one of the seals newly discovered there.
You are so right Dr. Zev Orenstein: This is the only civilication which people, thanks to their G'd, they are still living and living history. 🌷 Love from Holland
God bless you all! 🌷
Congratulations also to my City of Davis guide Judas. In 2019 I asked him when the rest of the Siloam Pool would be excavated. He replied then that it was a matter of time and money alone. Now it has become a reality sooner than we thought at the time: I look forward to being back soon!
Oh to be born for such a time as this ❤
Wouldn’t it be thrilling to not only walk the steps, but to also learn and sing the songs of ascent. Are they still sung? How I would love to experience that. What a profound time of worship!
We walked this corridor with "Zaiv" (sp?)
I think it's Psalms 113-118, but not for sure
How amazing!
Of course the songs of ascent are still sung. All the Psalms have tunes. Different streams of Judaism have different tunes and I believe there are different tunes for the same Psalms depending on context.
They will be sung in 2 weeks on Pesach (Passover)
All to be done in God's perfect timing!
I look forward to seeing the excavations carried out. Thanks for this interview.
Me too! And you're welcome!
Absolutely fascinating to learn the reason for the Psalms of Ascent! I wish growing up as a Catholic we were taught about the Rituals of Judaism and the Old Testament so we could understand the New Testament's meaning.

Agree
Hi
Easter is a pagan fertility goddess feast on a Solstice calendar!
PASSOVER is on the prophetic BIBLICAL CALENDAR that Jesus Yeshua is fulfilling starting with Him being ‘ The spotless Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world’ and RETURNING to reign over the world from Jerusalem on the feast of TABERNACLES!
‘ Come out of her ( mystery Babylon) my people lest ye receive of her plagues, ( At the return of Christ).
Hey Toosiya. Great trolling.... Hehe. 😘
Also check the EWTN Journey Home program. There must be an Armstrongism convert in there somewhere. There is everyone else. ✡️✝️🙏🇨🇦🔥😘
So exciting for the whole world! Excellent interview. I'm new to this channel and I look forward to lots of good topics.
These interviews are always so well done. Interviewer is so knowledgeable. This guest is so interesting too. Can’t wait to see what come of this excavation.
Amazing example of how the bible is accurate and true. God bless Israel.
Try reading the Talmud, it says that jesus is boiling in excrement for eternity, as well as saying that Christians and everyone else are cattle to be used and abused by 'God's chosen people'
@@MattyEngland anyone who doesn't believe that Jesus died for their sins and repents is not a true child of God. God bless you
The Jews are doomed for denying Jesus.
The Real Israel is the Ten Lost Tribes aka WHITE ANGLO-SAXON PROTESTANTS.
That's the Holy Bible. A catholic book. Thanks for giving thanks.
@@davidhawkins5329 Bible is GOD's word not catholic paganism.
this really is a grand find. i am excited to learn about this.
The Gihon Spring was excavated and found over a decade ago and why is that not the starting point for finding the Temple mount and the Silom Pool?
Fascinating topic and conversation. Thanks so very much, both of you!
"The same Jerusalem, the same Bible, the same faith", well said! This is a major advancement for most of the world's faiths.
This is wonderful. I’m filing for my passport this week . I so want to go & see these wonderful finds.

So true about this being the most important discovery for mankind.
How amazing to walk that same path!
Thanks a lot Brent for this interesting subject. Keep on the good work
So well explained and interesting

Because he never walked on the moon. Watch "a funny thing happened on the way to the moon". Deception been going on for a very long time.

Amazing interview!! So informative!!
Excellent interview
The City of David is where King David had also set up the Tabernacle Tent of Moses.
That is the point, the city of david and the temple was over the spring water source.

1 By cool Siloam's shady rill
how sweet the lily grows!
How sweet the breath beneath the hill
of Sharon's dewy rose!
2 Lo! such the child whose early feet
the paths of peace have trod,
whose secret heart with influence sweet
is upward drawn to God.
3 By cool Siloam's shady rill
the lily must decay,
the rose that blooms beneath the hill
must shortly fade away;
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
of life's maturer age
will shake the soul with sorrow's power
and stormy passion's rage.
5 O thou, whose infant feet were found
within thy Father's shrine,
whose years, with changeless virtue crowned,
were all alike divine,
6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath
we seek thy grace alone,
through every stage of life, and death,
to keep us still thine own.

Always dreamed of going to Israel but at 70 now I hope to see The Siloam pool excavated
Was just there three weeks ago. So far, they haven't found the other sides of the Pool.
Thank you all of as how to do the will of God, He calls for ever and ever I Am. Amen
It is beautiful, but there are still areas in Turkey much much older, and so much that's still undiscovered. Beautiful though.
It's a great start!!!🎉 Next: the Temple 🎉...
At 19:21 is the fork where the road on the right (northward) appears. That is likely the route for the Temple access. The road going toward the "Temple Mount" is likely just a commerce road to the upper area. Herod was all about business.
Zev Has been a regular on The Watchman Show, really informative to listen too.
Very exciting!
But could address the doubts about the current temple location? Being...
1. That Antonio fortress is not big enough to house 6000 Roman soldiers and their families, etc.
2. Jesus prophecy about not one stone standing upon another.
3. And current distance from Gihon spring, so say it was much closer.
I could get behind that!!
Elizabeth is as Family .

The pilgrimage road to the western wall !Will they take the construction tunnel around it down when they finish?
Flights from Texas are crazy expensive to the point it's not even worth it. I'd love love to see Israel but 3 to 4k for two round trip tickets is way to high.
Blessed Be because I also wanted to become an Archeologist as my passion is real History with all info not selective History.

What if it is the older pool. Like we do know, they could have repaired and rebuilt what once was there and then also made it bigger than the original.
Wrong, the psalms were read going up The Coiurt of men (in front Sanctuary)not the side road in video. Second the priest went through the Eastern Gate not the Western gate shown in the video.
Wondering if they couldn't use ground penetrating radar to see if something is below the pool they are excavating...without digging up some of it.

No videos of the current excavations😭
GLORY TO GOD
With care a heart surgeon proceeds what is more valuable than a heart? JERUSALEM, when working here remember were you are
I really hope and pray they find the original pool from the time of King Hezekiah.
Who, exactly, owns the pool?

Yes it is highly likely the wailing wall is just the walls of the romon garrison.
God has a great sense of humour.
I love it.
No one says it's the wall of the temple. It's the retaining wall for the mountain. The temple was a separate building.
Jerusalem could swell by a million people for Passover or Tabernacles. The Romans would likewise increase their legions to keep law and order.
I would love to visit Israel especially Yerushalayim! ❤
Any sign of the Angel, Rafael?
Can they route the water from Hezekiah'S tunnel to the pool?
Unless I am mistaken, when you walk the tunnel you exit at the pool.
