Even though many folks have written Ron Wyatt off as a quack (especially over his claim to have found the Ark of the Covenant), there can be no denying the great research that he has done over the Ark of Noah. He may not have had credentials as a regular scientist, but most students of the Bible will recognize has wondrous and fantastic conclusions of what he did find! Even down to the smallest detail (including his argument that Egyptian cubits were used in the Ark's measurements rather than the Israeli cubit) is a great attention grabber, and leaves the audience at a hard loss to find fault with the research - even though many have really tried! Despite the controversy, though, this book is highly recommended, for I believe the man to have actually found the remains of Noah's Ark!
"And I heard the number of them which were sealed: 'and there were' sealed an hundred 'and' forty 'and' four thousand of all the children of the tribes of Israel" Revelation 7:4
"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, 'and' one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." John 10:11-
"And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad." John 11:52
"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will 'my' Father honour." John 12:25-26
"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all 'men' unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth forever: and how sayest thou, The son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? And Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While you have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them." John 12:32-36
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with 'him,' that we may be also glorified together." Romans 8:14-17
"And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Matthew 19:28
"That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Luke 22:30
"Do ye not know that the saints (you&i) shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we (you&i) shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Corinthians 6:2-3
"And one of the 'elders' saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda(h), the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the 'elders', stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth 'into' all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four 'and' twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the 'prayers' (yours&mine) of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. And hast made unto us our God kings and priests: and 'we shall reign' on this earth." Revelation 5:5-10
Please refer to John 10:32-39 and Psalm 82 and 89 and 1 Corinthians 6 and Daniel 9 and i have attempted to explain what i believe these verses actually mean to the seeker of a Truth (although i could be wrong here, this is just what i, myself, humbly but firmly believe to be True based on what I was 'shown and led to. Again, it is most sincerely hoped and encouraged that anyone who happens to be reading these posts, that they would earnestly seek their 'own' answers ie Truth, for as much as i personally believe in what i do, and the subject matter it pertains to, i think it fair to say that given the nature of the subject matter, then this would be the sensible/wisest thing to do. I wish you the Good Lord blessings in your endeavours if you do decide to do, just this.
So, who 'is' the good shepherd? Well, my own understanding of this Bible verse is that this is a person who abides by the Lord God' Ten Commandments. This is someone who loves God with 'all' their heart, mind, soul and strength, and who further loves his fellow brethren and sisters as himself, by putting their needs before that of his/her own, and who is willing to lay down his/her life for them if the occasion presents itself. Those people who believe that Romans 13, should be adhered to 'come what may' have not taken into consideration that our leaders, elected or otherwise, have not abided by God' Law for quite some time now, and those individuals who have historically abided by God' Law and attempted to make a difference through God' Law, have all found themselves assassinated (i am referring to Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi and MLK Junior and 'not' that of the 'fake' assassinations of both JFK, his brother Robert and that of JFK Junior, which 'still' to this day get much media attention, which further makes me believe this bold statement is, indeed, True). I doubt very much there has been a leader who has abided by God' Law that is in office currently today 'anywhere' on this earth, though i could of course be wrong here. It would appear the main reason for this 'rejection' of God' Law, is that of personal ambition, and not that of Almighty God' will and purpose (it is worth mentioning that nobody on this earth/reality incurrs death unless our Creator Father permits it first. I can only assume that the assassinations of these individuals were because they were part of His plan/purpose in some way). I personally believe the reason 'why' these brave individuals (Lincoln, Gandhi and MLKj) were allowed to be 'taken out' was due to the "love of self, money and pleasure" and sinful conduct of powerful individuals (Freemasons and their ilk) through acting out their "lusts and temptations" as highlighted in the Bible verse 2 Timothy chapter 3 and elsewhere in the Scriptures. It is the 'degeneration' of man ie godlessness, that is the root cause of the world's woes today. Ultimately, it is our 'choices' that determine what kind of world we will collectively abide in, and as our Creator Father has given us 'free will', then it can be clearly seen these choices (or indifference) are anything but wise, selfless and godly (or is it just me?) Please go and take a look at the commandments of both Almighty God and that of Jesus Christ and ask yourself what, exactly, you find disagreeable in them (if anything). If you are someone who believes they are 'without' sin ie blameless, then you are quite frankly 'barking' (Romans 3:23) and will eventually succumb to your sinful ways (Roman 6:23). If, as I hope, you understand the error of your ways and wish to repent of them, then i would sincerely urge you to embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who died and shed his blood on the cross for our sins, and was buried and risen again on the third day, that you might live an eternal life through repentance and faith.......Amen.
OK, in ref to Scripture verses Romans 8:14-17 and Matthew 19:28 and Luke 22:30 and John 10:32-39 and Psalms 82 & 89 and 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 and Daniel 9 and Revelation 5:5-10, then this is what i believe these verses collectively are stating to the seeker of Truth. Firstly, I feel it is pretty 'obvious' that we (those who make it to the 'kingdom of heaven' are regarded as sons of God/children of God and as such are deemed 'god's' as per the words of both Psalm 82 and Jesus Christ in John 10 (though in what 'capacity' it is not clear to ascertain and I think it very important to state that a 'created' being ie you&i, cannot possibly be god's in the True sense of the word. This doctrine is the that which 'every' other religion in the world teaches to be falsely True). I think it is also pretty obvious that we are to be judges in the 'new' kingdom of heaven, but again, in what capacity remains to be seen (for those of us who make it to the 'new' Jerusalem). Although Jesus Christ does state that the 12 deciples will inherit a 'throne' apiece in the new kingdom of heaven and that they shall 'judge' the 12 tribes of Israel, again, it does not explain in what capacity, or even if the 12 tribes of Israel represent a potential half of the 24 elders in Revelation 4/5 and who reside with God in heaven in His throne room with the four Cherubim (beasts). It is very tempting to say this is what the 24 elders assembly/council actually consists/is made up of, but i wasn't shown/led to anything to substantiate this theory (though i could of course be wrong here). Furthermore, the Scriptures do not explain who the 24 elders are in Revelation 4/5 and or where they came from, although it does state that they and the 4 beasts (Cherubim) along with the 'kings and priests' (which is you&i if we make it to heaven), will be the ones who 'reign' in the 'new' Jerusalem ie kingdom of heaven for a thousand years, leastways this is as i understand this Scripture). Furthermore, in Revelation 5:9, where it mentions being redeemed of God through 'every' nation, tongue, kindred and people, this verse is letting us know (to my mind) that 'the Gospel' has indeed been proclaimed throughout the world at this stage (Matthew 24:14) and that this is the reason 'why' we see the Lamb opening the seven seals and thus unleashing judgement upon the world in the form of plagues, pestilences, earthquakes etc, letting us know that we 'are' indeed in the very last days of Bible Prophecy and that we can expect to see the Day of the Lord approaching (ie the need to be watchful and looking up towards the heavens in anticipation of His coming). Note: with regards to the Book of Revelation verse 5:10.......
"and hast made unto us our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on this earth"
.......this verse is being spoken by one of the 24 elders to the prophet John (as far as i can surmise), and is in ref to both the 24 Elders, the four Beasts (Cherubim, of whom are always with God in His throne room) and kings and priests (which is you&i). Now, it crossed my mind that Satan, as Lucifer, before his fall from grace and heaven, was referred to as the 'anointed cherub' in Ezekiel 28:14
"Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee 'so:' thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."
This 'anointed cherub that covereth' was the chiefest among the cherubs, and if these other four cherubim are to 'reign' ie rule over the new kingdom of heaven, i humbly, but firmly feel it is fair to state that before Satan (as Lucifer) got all 'puffed-up' with sinful pride, that he, too was very likely given dominion/authority/power over the earth, and that sometime/somewhere in the midst of his reign over the earth, that he (Satan as Lucifer) incurred Almighty God' wrath and judgement ie was cast down to earth with a third of the angels of heaven. This is of course just a theory/conjecture, but it would make sense as to 'why' he, Satan the devil, is allowed to have power/domain/authority over the earth in the fashion that he does, for if Almighty God had indeed, decreed Satan as Lucifer as the 'divine ruler) over the earth and everything in it, then this to me makes sense, as once Almighty God gas decreed something, then this Word of God 'stands'.......so, it could be Satan the devil was given the reigns over the earth/world for 6 days thousand years (or six days in heaven), of which as you are no doubt aware are almost up.
"And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God 'in' their hands." Revelation 9:4
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark 'in' their right hand, or 'in' their foreheads." Revelation 13:16
"And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion (Zion), and with him an hundred forty 'and' four thousand, having his Father' name written 'in' their foreheads." Revelation 14:1
"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive 'his' mark 'in' his forehead, or 'in' his hand." Revelation 14:9
"And I heard the number of them which were sealed; 'and there were' sealed and hundred 'and' forty 'and' four thousand of all the tribes of the children if Israel." Revelation 7:4
Again, it is 'only' the King James Bible that has the True definition with regards the all important word 'in' as opposed to 'on' which makes a world (an eternal one) of difference to the earnest seeker of Truth. It is no 'coincidence' that just the KJV has the Word 'in' as opposed to the erroneous word 'on' in 'every' other bible translation/version/interpretation. Furthermore, it is very likely that this 'mark' of the beast is 'not' obviously visible, such as a tattoo, for if we compare Scripture verse Ezekiel 9:4 "Go through the city and set a mark upon them that sigh and cry against all the abominations that be done in their midst" It can be seen that this particular 'mark' is very likely obvious, as we have the Word 'upon' ie on, as opposed to 'in'. Please read 2 Corinthians 2:21-24 and 2 Timothy 2:19 for more verse confirming Lord God' 'seal' on those individuals of whom are regarded as His. With regards to the significance of this Prophecied 'mark' of the beast, it would make if that much easier to deceive the world into accepting something such as a 'mark' that was 'not so obvious' ie conspicuous, by making Sunday worship 'mandatory' under pain of expulsion and death from the New World Order and its One World Religion under the impending Prophecied beast system and anti-Christ. Common sense informs us that there can 'only' be one True definition ie Book of Insight for Believers in Life Eternal.......Amen. With regards Revelation verse 14:1 and including verses that of other Bible verses from same chapter, i will attempt to divulge more on this 'as and when' i have received more insight on these verses (if any).
Please watch a very insightful video presentation entitled: "The Ark and the Blood - The Discovery of the Ark by Ron Wyatt" and you will be witness to a very informative 50 minute presentation on the discovery and present location of the Ark of the Covenant, which is Lord God' throne/tabernacle here on this earth. Ron Wyatt was 'shown' many, many Bible artifacts by our Creator Father, to include not just the Ark of the Covenant, but Noah' Ark of the deluge/flood (around 4370 past), and the Red Sea crossing place of the Iraelites out of Egypt, and much, much more. Wyatt expands on what, exactly he believes the 'mark' of the beast will be, and it 'isnt' an obviously visible mark on the flesh, but the changing of God' commandment to keep the sabbath, which is on Saturday (from Friday 9pm till Saturday 9pm) and 'not' Sunday, which Wyatt informs us will be made mandatory sometime in the not too distant future. I, myself, believe Ron Wyatt, but i also further believe this mark to be an 'acceptance' of the unholy sacrament either in your right hand through the taking of unholy bread or similar and unholy water to forehead, this after the anti-Christ and false prophet have enforced their One World Religion, doing away with all of today's religions. The anti-Christ will destroy wonderfully (Daniel 8:24) through a policy of perceived peace, under threat of death.......all of today's current religions will be made obsolete, including those of Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and Christianity, under the pretence of false terror attacks such as 9/11 and 7/7 etc, and will falsely claim that it is these 'many' religions that 'are' the root cause of the world's perceived problems to further this false claim/agenda (again, under pain of death to those who do not agree with this 'new' way of thinking, giving one no option, unless of course you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.......Amen). I, myself, have been aware of Ron Wyatt and his amazing finds for approx 6/7 years now and people will generally 'ignore' and even ridicule his worthy works on the strength that he (Wyatt) was not a 'trained' archaeologist, but a trained anaesthetist (and very holy man of God, go see for yourself). Derek Prince, a pastor who was 'initially' a very highly educated man (qualified to teach at Eton and Oxford level) in both Latin, Greek, Philosophy etc, came to the rather 'obvious' conclusion that man's wisdom 'outside' that of the Word of God was 'foolish' and 'vanity'.......Amen to that observation/realisation (Acts 10:34 and Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10).
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye know your calling brethren; that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, 'are called.' But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And base things of the world, and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are. That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:25-31
The book is pure lie, the site is natural rock formation. The author wasn't archaeologist but anaesthetic nurse with no scietific backgrounds. Even evangelical creationists rejected his finds. If I could rate it with bug minus instead one star I would do it. Reading it is waste of money and time.
