Ancient Cloth with Bible's Purple Dye Found in Israel, Dated to King David's Era: Three scraps from 1,000 BCE, earliest such finds in region, point to the Edomite kingdom described in Bible; vibrant and lasting ‘royal’ dye, mark of the elite, comes from murex sea snails. Israeli researchers have found three textile scraps near the southern tip of Israel colored with the biblically described “argaman” royal purple dye, and dated them to circa 1,000 BCE — the era of King David. The earliest ever such finds in this region, the vibrant cloths add tangible weight, in particular, to the Bible’s account of an Edomite kingdom in the area at that time. Colored with the most precious dye of the ancient world, the textile scraps were excavated in the Timna Valley near Eilat, and offer startling new insight into an ancient elite class. The tiny, vibrantly colored Iron Age cloth pieces are the earliest evidence of this precious dye in the entire Southern Levant and shed new light on the early Edomite kingdom and Israelite kingdoms 3,000 years ago — a period when the Bible details the conquering of the Edomites by King David. Also called “true” or “Tyrian purple,” the vibrant, millennia-lasting color is produced by dye glands gathered from three species of live murex sea snails on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. To reach the famed King Solomon Copper Mines at Timna near the shore of the Red Sea, the cloth would have traveled hundreds of kilometers, which only added to its prestige and value. “It is a very early period to find ‘true purple’ in use and it’s a very strange location,” Tel Aviv University Prof. Erez Ben-Yosef told The Times of Israel Thursday. “It’s deep in the desert, where we didn’t [traditionally] think these prestigious materials were in use.” Biden Reverses Trump's Recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's Capital: A report in the Washington Free Beacon cited sources in the State Department confirming that the Biden administration will move forward with establishing a new Office of Palestinian Affairs in Jerusalem that will act independently of the US ambassador to Israel’s office there. This move goes against the expressed wishes of the Israeli government. Still, the Biden State Department is going even further, opening an official Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem wholly independent of the US embassy in Israel. This consulate will act as a de facto embassy to the Palestinian Authority in Jerusalem, a move that violates international law. “By establishing an office dedicated to the Palestinian government in the city, the administration is reopening the possibility of allowing that government to assume control of portions of the city,” The Free Beacon wrote, quoting David Milstein. He served as special assistant to former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman. The purpose behind this move “is to walk back the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, erode Israel’s sovereignty over its capital city, and signal support for dividing Jerusalem. It is outrageous and shameful,” Milstein said. This infuriates me to no end............... Racism and anti-semitism aside, the orchestrated annihilation of any nation let alone Israel speaks of demonic involvement! Especially in the face of so much positive advancements to mankind they have maintained. Their history of non aggression of expansionism, or the lack of inhumane subjugation of their own citizenry makes any such plans of national annihilation ludicrous at best! TR watch the weather channel closely. Be careful of hurricanes and tornadoes. Found on Facebook from Amir Tsarfati and also on his Telegram page: The president of the European Union is on her way to Israel to finalize a historic deal in which Israel will supply trillions of cubic feet of natural gas to Europe either by liquidating it locally or using Egyptian facilities thus exporting it via Egypt. The deal with Europe is part of the European way to find substitutes to the Russian gas supply. In other words: Israeli gas will replace the Russian one. Can you guess who is very unhappy now? https://t.me/s/beholdisraelchannel Cool .. and it will probably be lower pricing too. And per Amir - June 13th Explosion at a chemical plant in Firuzabad, IRAN. - Fair Use - Iraq Approves Death Penalty for Normalization with Israel: Iraqi lawmakers on Thursday, May 26, passed a bill criminalizing the normalization of ties and any relations, including business ties, with Israel, The Associated Press reported. The legislation says that violation of the law is punishable with the death sentence or life imprisonment. Influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose party won the largest number of seats in Iraq’s parliamentary elections last year, called for Iraqis to take to the streets to celebrate this “great achievement.” Hundreds later gathered in central Baghdad, chanting anti-Israel slogans. https://www.touchpointisrael.com/2022/05/31/iraq-approves-death-penalty-for-normalization-with/ i don't understand how the US can do that without Israel permission. maybe Israel is afraid to tell Biden to take a hike Starts @ 3:12 - Fair Use -
