52: Jesus Master Builder carpenter stonemason creator build temple ...
Jesus was much more than a mere carpenter! 1. Jesus was the creator and master builder of the universe, so it should not surprise us that he is described as a "one who constructs" (lit: Tekton) 2. "If Jesus had in fact been a builder of these houses he would have been in very good physical shape. This may help explain how he endured the brutal flagellation before the cross (Matt. 27:26; Mark 15:15; Luke 18:33; John 19:1), an experience that many men did not survive." (Jesus the Stone Mason?, Brian N. Peterson, Bible and Spade, Vol. 29 No. 1, p23, 2016 AD) 3. Jesus was a Stonemason known in the first century as a "tekton" or "architekton" which included knowledge of carpentry. 4. It is fitting that Jesus is a MASTER BUILDER because tore down the physical temple and rebuilt it HIMSELF in three days as the New Testament church. B. Jesus the Master builder: 1. Supernaturally, Jesus laid the foundation of the universe: Hebrews 1:8-11 2. Providentially in 1446 BC: Jesus provided the literal ... ...

58: First Century Synagogue Top Plans: Sardis, Asia 49 BC
Christians in Jerusalem to flee its destruction in 70 AD. b. GPS: 38.488333° 28.040278° 2. With Josephus recording two imperial decrees (49 and 48 BC), we can be certain the Sardis synagogue existed before 49 BC, even as far back as 220 BC wherein Sardis joins a family of being among the earliest synagogues on earth. 3. The importance of the city of Sardis, as a commercial center of the former capital of the Persian empire which dates back as far as 536 BC, is matched by the Jewish synagogue in Sardis with a continuous 665 year occupation history (49 BC - 616 AD) 4. Although inscriptional evidence from Josephus Antiquities 14.235 makes the existence of a synagogue building certain in 49 BC, the synagogue likely dates back to the time of Seleucid King Antiochus III (223-187 BC) who was contemporary with Ptolemy III who are a major powerhouse in establishing diaspora synagogues.

No synagogue building has been definitively identified at Qumran. a. Room 4, 77 or 30 seem the best candidates. b. At Quran, they ate their meals in total silence. 3. Some believe that Qumran had no synagogue: a. "Could there have been a conscious aversion to imitating what was being done in contemporary synagogues-yet another expression of the Qumran sect's desire to maintain biblical precedents while rejecting models that had evolved within the Jewish community in the post-biblical era? Alternatively, did the ongoing practice of study within the Qumran community render such public readings superfluous? Interestingly, it appears that another breakaway group of the Second Temple period, the Samaritans, did not include the reading of Scriptures as part of its communal ritual at this stage either.

66: Ancient Synagogue Literary Sources: Philo of Alexandria: 38 AD
... Jewish settlement outside Palestine. The only certain date known from his life comes from his account of the great pogrom in Alexandria which started in A.D. 38 under the prefect Flaccus, during the reign of the Roman emperor Gaius Caligula. Philo was then chosen to head a delegation (Gaium 370) sent in A.D. 39/40 by the Jewish community to Gaius Caligula in Rome. A few other datable events are found in his writings. In Alexander, or Whether the Animals Have Reason (Anim) 27, Philo speaks of the celebrations in various places given by Germanicus Iulius Caesar, probably in A.D. 12, when he entered on his first term of consulship. The horse race account in Anim 58 is found also in Pliny HN 8:160-61, where the event is said to have occurred during the games of Claudius Caesar in A.D. 47. Philo was aged already at the time of the embassy. On the basis of these observations, the time of Philo's death should probably be set around A.D. 50, and his birth to around 20-15 B.C.

69: Origin of Synagogues: 10 Reasons why Synagogues began in Alexandria ...
Septuagint was distributed. The global distribution of the Septuagint was the engine that spawned the birth of Synagogues as a part of God's eternal plan to create a bridge between temple worship and the Christian Church. Introduction: 1. Although Ptolemy II wanted the Jewish scriptures translated into Greek in 282 BC for his father's (Ptolemy I) famous Library of Alexandra, the local Jews quickly made copies and started to gather to read the "Bible for themselves" and of course pray. The very first synagogue in the world was started when a small group of very excited Jews agreed to gather together in someone's home to pray and read the Greek Tanakh, which at this point consisted only of the first five books of Moses. The first and oldest word for a synagogue is the Greek word, "proseuche" and it means "house of prayer". The first synagogues were in "houses" (ie. HOUSE of prayer). As more copies of the Septuagint were produced combined with the large numbers who wanted to participate ... ...

Synagogue worship was the prototype for Christian Church. I. BIBLE READINGS IN SYNAGOGUES A. Public Bible reading, study, teaching: 1. As we have seen elsewhere in this book, Synagogues began in 280 BC at Alexandria, as a direct result of Antiochus II translating the Hebrew scriptures into Greek (Septuagint). a. The spiritually starved Greek speaking Jews were experiencing a famine for the word of God because they could not read Hebrew. b. The genesis of synagogues throughout the world followed the distribution of the LXX. c. As soon at the Septuagint arrived in a distant population of diaspora Jews, they immediately gathered to read and pray. d. The first name used to designate a synagogue was the Greek: "House of Prayer". 2. Public readings in the town: a. In 440 BC, Nehemiah conducted Public reading of scripture in the city gate, proving that synagogues did not exist yet. b. "[I:1 A] [73d], Said R.

79: Ancient Synagogues: Qatzion Synagogue and Lintel Dedicatory Inscriptio ...
Faustus inscription from Ostia, dating to the second century (No. 176), is another example. The present inscription is the only one of its kind from the land of Israel. However, it has not been established whether the structure is in fact a synagogue (Foerster), or if the Jews mentioned donated a non-Jewish temple to Graeco-Roman inhabitants of the area (Kohl and Watzinger; Fine). The fact that a Jewish community could donate a temple to non-Jews should not surprise us, since non-Jewish donations of synagogues to Jewish Diaspora communities are well attested (cf. No. 103, Julia Severa). Modem religious sensitivities should not be applied to ancient social systems of benefaction. Until further excavations can determine the nature of the edifice, it seems best to understand the remains as belonging to a non-Jewish temple." (The Ancient Synagogue from its Origins to 200 AD, Anders Runesson, p64, 2008 AD) c. "The archaeological remains of the building connected to the Theodotos inscription ... ...

80: Weekly Sabbath Assemblies in Synagogues absent from the Tanakh
Synagogue worship was the prototype for Christian Church. WEEKLY SABBATH ASSEMBLIES IN SYNAGOGUES A. Week assemblies are foreign to Mosaic Judaism and Temple worship: 1. Weekly assemblies are 100% foreign to Mosaic Judaism and Temple worship! a. The importance of this observation cannot be under emphasized. b. There is no direct Bible authority for weekly assemblies in Synagogues for Jews. c. Weekly attendance for Jewish synagogues on the Sabbath was an innovation. d. Weekly attendance for Christians on the first day was the result of Biblical legislation: Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:1-2 2. Mosaic Judaism and Temple worship required three annual pilgrimages to the tabernacle tent or temple: a. ""Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed."

Ballista and other slings. c. "Finds at the synagogue were from the final stage and battle. They included 350 ballista balls, 35 arrowheads, and many nails and pottery items, among them Herodian lamps, broken jars, and cooking pots." (Ancient Synagogues - Archaeology and Art: New Discoveries and Current Research, Rachel Hachlili, p28, 2013 AD) 2. Gamla was founded by Alexander Jannaeus no later than 76 BC (103-76 BC) a. As one of the most important spiritual leaders it is unthinkable that Alexander Jannaeus would found this town without a synagogue. b. The synagogue seen today is a one period occupation site that likely dates back to 76 BC and was used until destroyed in 67 AD. c. "Gamla is the earliest synagogue structure to have been discovered in Judaea to date'" The building may have been built around the turn of the first century C.E., although a mid-first century B.C.E. foundation, some time between Alexander Jannaeus (103-76 B.c.E.) and Herod (37-4 B.c.E.), has also been ... ...
