Golgotha- The hill just above Jeremiah’s Grotto, is possibly the true site of Calvary (Calvary is the English-language name for Golgotha). Jesus was crucified outside the city gate (Hebrews 13:12). Golgotha overlooks the ancient main road that led to Jericho and Damascus in New Testament times.
This hill is also known as Jeremiah’s Grotto and is the traditional site where Jeremiah wrote the book of Lamentations. This is also the traditional site where Stephen was martyred.
Mark 15:22
They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).
John 19:41
At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
It can be viewed from inside the Garden Tomb site. I took this picture from inside the Garden Tomb compound.

I heard that the ARK OF THE COVENANT
is hidden in a cave just under where
Jesus was crucified and his blood ran down
through an earthquake crack onto the
mercy seat.
Do you know anything about it?
I understand that it was Jeremiah that put
it there to keep it safe from the Babylonian
Nebuchadnezzar.

Yes, it’s true. It will be unveiled to the world once certain laws- undermining God’s 7th day Sabbath (known a Saturday in western world)- are passed. Thereafter, multitudes who are unfaithful to God’s 10 commandments will receive “the mark of the beast”.

Hi, I am glad you visited the site about Golgotha. I don’t agree with you that this site will be unveiled to the world once certain laws- undermining God’s Sabbath are passed. I beleive everyone of us has been unfaithful to God’s 10 commandments (Romans 3:23). The good news in there is salvation through faith in Christ for all .

Hmmm what does unfaithful really mean, in all due respect? When Jesus says that someone is an unfaithful servant, what does He mean? When He says, through His word, that we should write the law- the 10 commandments- on our hearts and do them (IT IS WRITTEN- see Deuteronomy 5 and 6), what does this mean. Question, was righteous Abraham an unfaithful servant? If yes, is that why God made a covenant with him and His seed forever (IT IS WRITTEN)? The word says that many are called but few are chosen (IT IS WRITTEN). Wide is the road to destruction and many go therein (IT IS WRITTEN). But narrow is the road to eternal life and few go therein (because they refuse to obey- thus saith the Lord). Jesus says, “If you love me, keep my commandments…”(IT IS WRITTEN)
Revelation- “These are they that keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus.” (IT IS WRITTEN)

“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23. When kept in context, this bible text simply tells us that if we err and sin, we have an advocate through the Lamb of God- Jesus. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid; yea, we establish the law (which is the 10 commandments). Romans 3:31
“He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected; hereby know we that we are in Him. Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an OLD commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.” I John 2:4,7 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” He was in the world and the world was made by Him , and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (‘flesh and blood shall not enter into the kingdom of God’).” John 1:1-13
Jesus told Nicodemus that to be saved, “you must be born again…” (of the water and of the Spirit) John 3:5,7
Thus says the First and the Last, “Not everyone that saith unto me, ‘Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time . I Timothy 2:5-6 (Testified by His blood which is on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant right now) And there are 3 that bear witness in EARTH, the Spirit, the water and the blood; and these three agree in one. I John 5:8 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem), to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins (Jesus accomplished this already through His blood sacrifice) and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy (all the law and the prophets point to our Saviour Jesus), and to anoint the most Holy [which is literally, "the most holy place or thing".- this is the place of the mercy seat, which by this time, along with the other components of the Ark of the covenant, had already been taken out of Solomon's temple, by Jeremiah, and placed in the cave under the Calvary escarpment]
To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. And they shall pass through it (the seven last plagues of Revelation), hardly bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness. Isaiah 8:20-22 (see also Matthew 24) As Jesus said, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Woe unto those who do have ears to hear but do not hear what the Spirit is saying to the church in these last days of Earth’s history.
Sincerely,
Laodicea

Brad,
I was doing some research for my sermon on Sunday and ran across your website with a picture at the top that looks like the Sea of Galilee. Is it? What is the story behind the picture? May I used your picture in a PowerPoint presentation, if I give you credit?

Hi Ray,
The picture you are referring to is a stock picture provided by Word press so I am not sure where it was taken, but it is by Ed Merrit http://www.edmerritt.com/ .
You can use the picture of the Sea of Galilee I took in December.

A small description of the picture is there on this post.
In Christ,
