The newest discoveries in Israel

Did you hear about this?

A 3,100-year-old piece of pottery with an inked inscription was found in July. What's so amazing, other than its age, is what it said: Jerubbaal. This was the alternate name of Gideon (Judges 7). WOW!!!

If that isn't enough, these 2,000-year-old coins were also found: 

Found in the West Bank, one coins date back to the Jewish revolt against the Romans in the 1st century. One coin was from 67 AD, and the second, from 70 years later (2nd century). The second coin, along with broken pottery also found, is from the Bar Kochba revolt. The location of the find is also significant, because it means there was a Jewish settlement in an area previously believed to have been destroyed after the Great Revolt years earlier and not re-settled.

That is SO COOL!!!!
