Entombed in ash for more than 1,900 years, the tragic story behind this haunting image of what appears to be a child resting on its terrified mother's stomach is a step closer to being revealed.   Restorers are working on the carefully preserved plaster casts of 86 of the Romans trapped in Pompeii in 79 AD following the deadly eruption of Mount Vesuvius, including a child seemingly frozen in terror. One haunting image shows what appears to be a child resting on the stomach of an adult. It is estimated that anywhere between 10,000 and 25,000 residents of Pompeii and nearby Herculaneum were killed on the spot.

Why the Real Yeshua? The answer is because believing as usual is no longer an option. Over the past few years, I have written a lot about the “ Real Yeshua ” and have been asked why I don’t call him “ Jesus Christ ” instead? Today, I would like to share some of the most important reasons. The first reason I call him “ Yeshua ” is “ Jesus ” wasn’t his name. No one ever called him “Jesus” until around the time Columbus discovered America that Christians. So, that’s the reason I call him “Yeshua” and I think he would like for everyone with Belief Systems that focus on him to do the same. Wouldn’t you agree? Another reason I call him the “Real Yeshua” is because of how my readers would react if I used the name “Jesus” in the things I write.

Being a senior citizen that has seriously studied history regularly for over 30 years now, I have become aware of patterns that may have grave consequences when they are repeated. When politics, government power authorized to use force and a politician that proclaims his “ Christianity ” combine – bad things happen . Below are quotes of a political candidate who was running for a high government office in a democratic Christian nation.  Pay close attention to his use of Christian terms in his public speeches. Remember these quotes when you hear candidates today use them similarly. My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these ( enemies ) for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who – God’s truth! – was greatest, not as a sufferer, but as a fighter. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profo...
