Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.
But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”
Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God.

Our film Our Search for the Tomb of Jesus will reach 100,000 views on YouTube next week, in the first year, which is greatly encouraging.
Some years ago, on another film of ours, Sodom and Gomorrah, I was left this comment by a viewer:
"God always chooses 'nobodies' - men and women who do not have power, wealth, titles or statuses - to reveal and share the truth. Nice video."
Though this was aimed at Sodom and Gomorrah, the comment stands true for Our Search for the Tomb of Jesus film. We were nobodies attempting to discover the Tomb of Jesus, but God worked through us to help us to produce this film and share the news of Jesus.
As God worked through David, the lowly shepherd boy in 1 Samuel 16 who went on to sly the giant Goliath and was rewarded by becoming the King of Israel, our struggles may seem monumental, but with the help of God, we can conquer them. With open minds, this story should encourage us to be happy in our lives, to help us to ignore those who try to discourage us and ignore our gifts and talents.
After all, serving God with all of your heart is more important than what you can 'do' for Him! Whether we are a scientist, archaeologist, teacher, preacher or just a man on the street, God can use us for His glory. The way may be paved with obstacles and enemies, but if we remain steadfast in our love for God, He will build us up like He did with David so that we may conquer even the greatest obstacles!
As a nobody who had the wonderful opportunity of travelling to Israel, I wondered at the disbelief that many of my crew had as we set out. I wondered what we would find and whether God would work through us to share our findings.
As it is written in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Throughout our time in Israel looking for the Tomb of Jesus, there were many times when we were seeking and asking. It is through God's grace that we were able to bring you this film with our findings.
I thank God and stand in amazement at how he has used our work to bless others and to raise it to a level of influence for His Kingdom. I feel truly humbled at what he can do with a little, and like with the loaves and fishes, multiply it to feed the thousands.
Thank you Lord for all you have done and may this story encourage others to step out in faith for you. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27.
Thank you for reading this article, and may God bless those who seek him, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

The Great Stone at Mount Nebo overlooking the promised land is a testimony by God Almighty reminding all mankind that he sent from heaven an angel to roll away the stone; thereby signifying, that the debt was fully paid, and Yeshua is now legally discharged. And So are those who believe in him.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Could this peaceful garden in Jerusalem contain the actual tomb where Jesus Christ was buried? This investigation examines the biblical accounts, archaeological discoveries, ancient historical evidence, and geographical features surrounding one of Christianity's most fascinating sites.
By Dr. Howard Davis. I don't know if this will go through as I got a 404 at their other site. But, the passage in Mark 16:4 says in Greek which I have read since ' 3 "having looked up": this shows in Greek the two women(who were prob.5 ft.) had to 'look upwards' to view the stone implying it was very tall. It says about "the stone" "for" gar.Gk., which was missed in English, but it means here "INDEED!" Then Mark uses 'megas' Gk. we get our word mega- ton, etc., meaning something of very great size. And finally he says in Greek "extremely" or to the uttermost. So there are four Greek words to describe just how massive that stone was! So I translate;: And having looked upwards they are viewing that the stone has been rolled away, YES, INDEED it was extremely great in size!" So looked upwards-this stone was very tall in height -"rolled away" showing it was round - not a square plug stone as is being taught today in some quarters- great in size or megas Gk. massive-and to add to the picture Mark is painting for us this massive stone was 'extremely' large. Going back in time then Mark is saying this stone was much larger than the stones that covered tomb doorways! up to the time he was writing his narrative!!! Mark is known as a 'detailed writer.' He certainly shows us this trait here! I always wondered what happened to this massive round stone and Simon led by the spirit of God found it in these last days when as Daniel says 'knowledge will be increased.' In Hebrew increased means to 'shoot an arrow.'It is increasing fast! I feel a team of Byzantines- hauled the large stone by oxen(?)as possibly then it was in danger of being destroyed by ------- or some other unfriendly forces and took it to Mt.Nebo -Moses area, and this it where it was later found maybe in a cave and then erected into a display only for Simon to find!!! These same men may have covered over the tomb with dirt,etc., to further protect the site. Then later Gen. Gordon discovered it and had his men remove the debris and uncover the tomb and general area. Of interest the boyhood home of Jesus may have been discovered in Nazareth. Inside stone doorway has a round stone next to it to roll in front of the room!
The Great Stone at Mount Nebo, overlooking the Promised Land, is a testimony by God Almighty, reminding all mankind that Jesus Christ (Yeshua) was crucified, died, and buried in the Tomb, conquered death by being raised by creator God Almighty, testifying God sent from heaven an angel to roll away the stone; this signified that the debt was fully paid, and Yeshua is now legally discharged, and so are those who believe and follow Him. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. King James Bible.

Here is an expanded
translation based on the Greek in Mark 16:4:
"And [the two
women] having gazed upwards in surprise at the [great] height of the [circular]
stone they were viewingthat this very
heavy [implied in the Gk.-it was large but also very weighty] extremely
gigantic in magnitude stone was [actually] rolled away."
Or "As the two women were walking [up to the tomb] they
had to really stretch to look up very high to even see the height of the
ponderous extremely massive in magnitude stone to see that it was actually
rolled away."(Hyper expanded
based on Greek)
The idea presented by Mark -the writer of particular
"details" as some called him -was this round stone was like no other
stone covering the door to a memorial tomb at that time-it was extremely
gigantic in magnitude (megas) circumference and very heavy.
Where it says rolled away from is from the Greek "cut
out"from the bottom of the incline
or track for the large stone just as Simon shows us in his epic video!So two hidden features or details from Mark
again-it was easier to close than to open due to an incline or constructed
trough or slot and it was "cut out" fromstone at the bottom where the huge stone
would roll.
He had to use certain Greek words to convey this. The word I
translate as "extremely"(spodra) is also "vehement "in
Greek conveying very forceful emotion; here the word in contextrefers to the over sized stone! He pulled out
all stops under inspiration to show the reader just how heavy and large in
circumference this stone was.
I noted something else. Megas or great in the English Bible
in our verse can mean enormous in height ! Rich and influential Joseph wanted
to really secure his tomb, with a magnificent massive stone and perhaps to
display his great wealth in those days. This was common. He was a 'good man'
and 'waiting for the kingdom of God.' He was as we know mentioned in prophecy
Isa.53:9. It's a rich[man-Joseph ] in Hebrew.
The word 'laid' is "appoint in Heb."Joseph 'appointed' Jesus to his own tomb and
Isaiah tells us why hundreds of years before this event- "Because He
[Jesus] had done no violence,Nor was any deceit in His mouth."
After all Joseph of Armimatheahad created and planned as well as maintained
with his own gardener a spacious beautiful garden too! That alone was expansive
as well as the funds to create and maintain the garden.
The symbolism in all this is not missed. Adam fell in a
garden. Jesus was buried because of the fall in a garden area. He probably
prayed and restorted to this same garden in the days of His ministry!
Jesus is called the "Stone" that the builders
rejected. The stone in the garden tomb was massive and great as He is-with His
height reaching into the heavens! He was rich while in heaven ,but as it says
He became poor for our sakes. Joseph was rich and prominent, but gave up his
spacious tomb that had cost him so much in time, money and labor, including
hand chiseled by craftsmen a huge round stone such as was not done up until
then.
The stone was circular not a square plug push in/out stone
as some were at that time with round stones covering very prominent peoples
tombs then. Who is more prominent than Jesus? A circle was symbolic of eternity
and also with no beginning or end as we see in Jesus!
Again, congratulations on your massive discovery Simon!!! I have
always wondered where that gigantic (megas) stone went and God led you in these
last days to it! A very great blessing was bestowed on you from our Lord!
Again, if I can help with my knowledge of Hebrew and Greek
or in any way please ask. It would be a great honor!
