Mysterious coin linked to Jesus' biblical prophecy discovered

Archaeologists have unearthed a 2,000-year-old coin in Jerusalem that was minted shortly before the destruction of the Second Temple, an event Jesus predicted in the Bible.

The bronze coin dates to between 69 and 70 AD, just decades after Jesus was crucified, and was made by Jewish rebels during the fourth year of the Great Revolt against the Romans.

The revolt, also known as the First Jewish-Roman War, was a major uprising by the Jewish population against Roman rule in Judea, occurring between 66 and 73 AD.

Because the coin was minted right before the Temple's destruction, it comes from the exact period when Jerusalem was under siege.

Jesus predicted the Temple's fall in the Gospels, saying that not one stone would be left on another. These passages, found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are seen as foretelling the Temple's destruction by the Romans in 70 AD.

The coin itself carries powerful symbolism, with its obverse side bearing an inscription in ancient Hebrew script: 'For the Redemption of Zion,' expressing the rebels' hope during the final months of the uprising.

On the reverse is a lulav, a palm frond used in the Sukkot festival, accompanied by two etrogs, the citron fruit also used in the ritual.

The Sukkot festival commemorates the Israelites' 40 years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
