In doing a study of Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar, King Ur-Nammu, and the Fertile Crescent I ran across this photo of an artifact called the "Hash-hamer Cylinder seal of Ur-Nammu" in the British Museum. In this photo is a crescent moon. Archaeologists determine King Ur-Nammu reigned sometime in the early years of 2000 BC to 2110 BC but of course Islam did not hit the world until the mid 600's AD when Muhammund invented his story. The crescent moon did not become a part of Islamic symbols until the Ottoman reign. The symbol of the crescent moon has been around and involved in pagan rites and rituals way before Islam. In fact I read that many Muslims denounce the crescent moon because of it's ties in history to paganism. We know that Abraham left the land of Ur because of God calling him out to set him and his people apart. Apart from paganism? Apart from the evilness of men? Apart from the plans of the devil? Apart from the Fertile Crescent and it's seeming ties to occult devil worship and practices? I also had to ponder the location, the lands and this crescent shaped form of land. I am a firm believer that God shows us signs and wonders still today. So for me to question this is not out of the ordinary. Do you think this crescent moon in the cylinder of King Ur-Nammu is God's way of telling us to beware of false religions? If so, it would seem He has been warning us for over 4,000 years. I would love to hear your thoughts.

There is SO MUCH proof in the OT that saying things were not fulfilled, is like saying the titanic didnt sink. Let us reason together, and come to a logical conclusion. It is obvious that Yashua, (Jesus) was the embodiment of the OT. In the flesh. But what I am saying is that every law, every thing that was in the OT not only points to Yashua, but was about the messiah. Here is the proof. The first day of the first month, the glory filled the tabernacle after Moses finished building it. 2000 years later, on the same day, first day of the first month, Yashua was baptized, and he was filled with the spirit of the Almighty. Then, he went into the wilderness for 40 days, until he revealed himself. The day he started his ministry, was the 14th day of the second month. That was the same day the manna started in the OT. Then there is the thing about the Amalekites. That was to show that there was going to be "war with the fleshly man/carnal man", from generation to generation. Before this, the baptism, which is the death, burial, and resurrection. That is what baptism is, showing that we have died to the old man, and were buried with Yashua, and rose with him into his resurrection. A new man. The awesome thing that YAH did, was give us a timeline for EVERYTHING the messiah would do. From the time he was baptized, until the time Titus came to destroy the city, and burn the temple. Exodus 12 is the passover. Chapter 13, is the death, 14 is the burial, and 15 is the resurrection. 16 is Miriam, (Mary) praising the death of the rider and his horse. This same thing happened thousands of years later when Mary rejoiced. Remember this when you read revelation next time... Then you read all the way to Joshua when he takes over Jericho, and there you see Titus entering the picture exactly 40 years after the passover. The EXACT same thing happened in Egypt to Joshua entering Jericho. EVERYTHING, including the 1000 years was fulfilled...the proof of the 1000 years is right after Joshua died, and read what happens for the next thousand years with Israel in the OT. Then read history to see what happened in church history, for the first thousand years...It is AMAZING!
