ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE BIBLE – ISAIAH’S SIGNATURE SEAL
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way;and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. – Isaiah 53
The signature seal of the Prophet Isaiah has been discovered at the Ophel excavation site, just south of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, about 3 meters away from where King Hezekiah’s royal seal was found. In the Bible, Isaiah is described as an advisor to King Hezekiah in 2nd Kings.
Friends, Jesus said of those proclaiming Him Lord, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” – Luke 19:40
