Ancient Jewish Synagogue Carving Mentions Jesus
I’m not endorsing the above video, which purports to show an ancient Jewish synagogue with inscriptions on the floor that reads:
“Remembered for good, the Comforter, Y’shua, martyr/witness.”
Nevertheless, the information in the video certainly is fascinating. As you know, secularists claim there’s no historical or archaeological evidence whatsoever that Y’shua — Jesus — ever lived.
Yet here we apparently have an unearthed Messianic synagogue from circa 300-350 A.D., with the above-mentioned inscription, plus carved pictures of two Menorahs and two Olive Trees — a likely reference to Revelation 11:4, “These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth.”
If it’s true, and has not been faked as a means of drawing Christian tourists, this is one of the most interesting and important archaeological finds in recent memory.
Here’s a photo of the mosaic carving itself, from the synagogue floor, with Jesus’ name in Aramaic highlighted very lightly in yellow:

There is indeed proof that Yeshua existed. He must have terribly angered the Pharisees of His day. They were so irritated by His existence that they memorialized Him forever buy writing their true feelings in the Talmud. This evil, hateful book talks about Jesus and His Mother in the most wicked and vile of terms. I cannot read such filth, but the point is no other “sacred” book anywhere desecrates His existence in such aggressive angry words. Why does the Jewish book Talmud, do so? Because Yeshua called them on their evil ways and they hated Him for it. Couldn’t help themselves!
I hesitate to mention this because of the subject matter. It truly is nauseating to read it. I personally cannot. I fear the the unredeemed may forever remain so, such is the evil mentality found in the Talmud. But, since Yeshuas existence is in doubt, what more proof do you need?
