ARKOSIC DEAD SEA SANDSTONE

There has been a claim of an Arkosic Dead Sea sandstone tablet that describes repairs to Solomon's Temple being around 2,800 years old. An Institute's director, named Amos Bean, reported that they had discovered flecks of gold burnt into the stone, indicating that it was probably in the Temple when the building was destroyed by invading Babylonians in about 586 BC.

The Arkosic Dead Sea sandstone tablet research findings:

There is no known Arkosic Dead Sea sandstone tablet specifically tied to the repairs of Solomon’s Temple by Joash. The repairs to the Temple by Joash are mentioned in the Bible, particularly in 2 Kings 12:4-16, but no specific archaeological artifact directly related to this account has been identified.

  1. Carbon-14 dating and the Israel Geological Institute: There is no widely recognized evidence that carbon-14 dating has authenticated a sandstone inscription related to Joash’s repairs or that the Israel Geological Institute under Shimon Ilani has made such claims. Typically, carbon-14 dating is used for organic materials rather than stone inscriptions.

  2. Flecks of gold and the destruction of the Temple: While flecks of gold have been found in archaeological contexts related to ancient Jerusalem, there is no solid evidence linking these specifically to the Temple’s destruction by the Babylonians.

There is no commandment in the Hebrew ToRaH from the God of Israel stating that all Israelites must pray through someone to commune with Him. Instead, the Hebrew TaNaKh emphasizes direct communication between individuals and YaHuWaH, without the need for intermediaries.

 

Ezekiel 18:30-32

30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the YaHuWaH God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith YaHuWaH God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

BaT DaBaR 7:14 “2 Chronicles” Hebrew TaNaKh

14 When my people, who bear MY NAME humble themselves, pray, and seek my favor and TURN from their evil ways; I will hear in my heavenly abode, and FORGIVE their sins, and will heal their land.

 MaKhiYaH 6:8 “Micah”

8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth YaHuWaH require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy ALuWaH?

ZaMaR 119:10-11 “Psalm”

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
