D.C.'s Museum of the Bible Officially Opens This Week

11-11-2017

CBN News John Jessup

The new Museum of the Bible – a project seven years in the making – officially opens its doors this week.

Blocks away from the U.S. Capitol and in the heart of Washington, D.C., it's the first museum solely dedicated to God's holy word.

CBN News got an early sneak peek of the 430,000 square foot, eight-story building. Click on the video below for a personalized tour.

Once past the bronze Gutenberg Gates and security, the very first thing visitors will see is a 140-foot long digital LED display, which boasts a series of breathtaking colorful scenes in a pictorial canopy.

It's the first glimpse at the museum's technological edge, but the museum has much more to beyond the latest gadgets and gizmos.

Here is a floor-by-floor preview of the museum's exhibits and galleries:

• First floor: Lobby, atrium, media wall, gift shop, children's gallery (Courageous Pages), coffee shop
• Second floor:  Impact of the Bible gallery, featuring a 20 to 40-foot long scratchboard panel chronicling how the Bible shaped America's founding and still reverberates today.
• Third floor: History of the Bible gallery to trace the origins and evolution of the Bible
• Fourth floor:  Narrative of the Bible gallery
• Exhibit space for international museum galleries including more than 700 artifacts from the Israel Antiquities Authority currently on display, performing arts hall, research library
• Sixth floor: Biblical garden, viewing gallery, restaurant

Dr. Tony Ziess is the museum's executive director. He told CBN News the goal is to expose people to the Bible and help them engage with the holy book.

"No other book has had such an impact on civilization, particularly western civilization," Zeiss said. "It's exciting to know that we're a part of exposing this book and getting people engaged in all walks of life — whether they come from a faith-based perspective or a non-faith based perspective. Whether they're Hebrew or whether they're Protestant or Catholic or Ethiopian. Whatever they happen to be."

The museum has taken a decidedly non-sectarian approach, saying its mission is to help people engage with the Bible and bring its rich stories to life.

With a $500 million investment and global cultural and scholastic partnerships, the Museum of the Bible hopes that its mission translates into more people reading and appreciating the best-selling book of all time.

Introducing the Land of Israel ✡ "Go Forth From Your Native Land" - Israel365

Hashem said to Avram, “Go forth from your native land and from your father’s house to the land that I will show you. Genesis 12:1 (The Israel Bible™)   וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־אַבְרָם לֶךְ־לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ וּמִבֵּית אָבִיךָ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַרְאֶךָּ בראשית יב:א va-YO-mer a-do-NAI el av-RAM lekh l’-KHA may-ar-tz’-KHA u-mi-mo-lad-t’-KHA u-mi-BAYT a-VEE-kha el ha-A-retz a-SHER ar-E-ka

Today's Israel Inspiration This week, we read the Torah portion of Lech L'cha, in which Abram is commanded by God to leave everything behind and head to the Holy Land. According to Jewish Sages, the journey that God commands Abram is for Abram's own benefit. God vows that if Abram follows His commands, He will protect and safeguard Abram and his descendants. Once Abram arrives in the Land of Israel, he is met almost immediately with famine, family tensions and war. Through it all, God remains by Abram's side and continues to promise him greatness. This Torah portion serves as the introduction to the eternal relationship between the land and the people of Israel.

15 Year-Old Secular Jewish Boy Nathan's Vision of WWIII on Blood Moon: Gog Magog Future of Israel - Steve Cioccolanti & Discover Ministries

15 Year-Old Secular Jewish Boy Nathan's Vision

 of WWIII on Blood Moon

Gog Magog Future of Israel

Published on Jan 8, 016

Nathan is a 15-year old Jewish boy raised in a secular family. He died for 15 minutes during The Feast of Sukkot 2015 (which was accompanied by the 4th Blood Moon). During that time he was shown the future of Israel and end time visions. His own parents did not raise him to be religious, disapprove of his vision and think he's crazy, so the accusation of "mental suggestion" may be ruled out. An Orthodox Jewish rabbi put his vision to the test of Hebrew Scripture. This is my English summary of and comments on the interview in Hebrew.

This video clip is part of a bigger teaching on how to interpret dreams and visions. The prophet Joel prophesied that in the last days, before the revelation of Messiah and the final Redemption, Hashem (G-D) would "pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions." (Joel 2:28) Yohannan (John) penned the final book of the Bible based on an Apocalypse or supernatural revelation about the end times. For a complete understanding of the blood moons, other signs of the end times, and harmony of the prophecies in Torah, Tanach and Brit Chadasha (new covenant Scriptures), obtain Biblical resources at: http://www.Discover.org.au/bookshop For more on dreams: http://discover.org.au/bookshop/index...

What should we make of the Law of Moses, now Messiah has come? - ONE FOR ISRAEL

Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL  Aug. 28, 2017 Shalom! We often get asked about how we understand the Law of Moses, now that Yeshua has come, and it can be hard to answer in one sentence - the answer is not simple!  We have been working on a fuller explanation about our love of the Torah and how it all points to Yeshua in our new book, "READING MOSES, SEEING JESUS". Some people get caught up in trying to diligently keep Jewish laws and traditions... or go to the other extreme of not seeing why the Jewish scriptures matter at all today, and miss the beauty and power of God's word. We hope to share with you where we stand on these important, biblical matters. How do you relate to the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, as a follower of the Messiah? In "Reading Moses - Seeing Jesus", we give our Messianic Jewish perspective to the following questions: What is the purpose of the law? Why did God give the Torah in the first place? Did Messiah come to point us back to the law? Are we under the law? Should we follow Rabbinic traditions? What about our Hebraic Roots? Should we keep the Torah? How? In this short book, Dr. Seth Postell (our Academic Dean), Eitan Bar (Media-Evangelism Director), and Dr. Erez Soref deal with these questions.  YOU CAN BUY THE BOOK  HERE ON AMAZON! Available in both Kindle and paperback. If you enjoy the book, it would be a great blessing to us if you would give it the rating you feel it deserves on Amazon, and leave a positive review!  Here are some of the reviews it has received from Christian leaders so far: (read more reviews here) Reading Moses, Seeing Jesus is a tremendous resource for anyone interested in understanding the 'whole counsel' of Scripture, the fundamental purpose of the Mosaic law, the power of the Messianic prophecies, and how to engage in effective and fruitful Jewish evangelism and discipleship.  I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it to pastors and lay people alike!" JOEL C. ROSENBERG New York Times best-selling author, Bible teacher and founder of The Joshua Fund  "Exegetically solid, theologically sound, contemporaneously relevant, eminently readable - all these qualifers are true and will prove to be vindicated by its intended readership. Especially commendable - and that lends it authenticity - is the fact that its authors are Israeli scholars who embrace messianic faith that names Jesus of Nazareth as Savior and Lord. This is a must!" EUGENE H. MERRILL Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Studies (Emeritus), Dallas Theological Seminary   We are coming to the US in September! If you would like to meet us and hear more about the great things that God is doing in Israel, you are welcome to join one of our banquets where we will share about the ministry, and how you can be involved.  The Concept Of Sin From A Hebrew Perspective The condition of sin is like a swamp - the more we try to fight it ourselves, the deeper we sink. A cosmic swamp that all creation is affected by. Due to the sinful condition humanity is in, no one can escape, we are all affected. No one can stand before a holy God, claiming "I had nothing to do with this". Just as being stuck in a swamp, there is nothing we can do but only to hope that someone from the outside will reach out to rescue us and pull us out - we need God Himself to provide the way of justification for us! Continue reading... The Month Of Elul: A Time To Turn In the Hebrew calendar, we are now in the month of Elul - a special month of preparation and repentance before the "Ten Days of Awe" starting with Rosh HaShanah (the Feast of Trumpets) and continuing until Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement ten days later. It's time to turn our backs on sin and turn towards God again. It's a time to turn away from the world, and look to the face of the One who loves and leads us. If we want to say "repent" in Hebrew we say, "Lachzor be Tshuva" - to return to the answer. Actually the two words both imply a return - one is to return as one might go away from home and return later, and the other is from the root word to respond, or reply, to come back with an answer. Continue reading...
