Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:1-7
Our nation will soon have “anti-Semitic” laws that will declare that anyone who says anything against the Jews will go to prison. Well, they will have to ban the Bible, because it is very “anti-Jewish.” The first five books of the New Testament (Covenant) reveal multiple attempts by the Jewish authorities to have both Jesus and his chosen vessel, Paul, murdered, like in this verse (see part seven of this series).
Answers in Genesis started about 30 years ago in one small part of a strip mall in Florence, Kentucky. It was there that they sold their merchandise and started their outreach to churches. They opened their Creation Museum to the public in 2006 at a cost of $27 million, and the Noah’s Ark Exhibit opened in 2017 at a cost of over $100 million. The Museum opened with no debt because they built the Museum as they received the money. But for the Ark, AiG borrowed 62 million dollars on bonds from their “supporters”, i.e., the city of Williamstown, who AiG will pay back with interest, with 75% of their property tax going to this cost, over the next 15 – 30 years.
Next on their agenda, in 2026, is the indoor model of Jerusalem during Jesus’ time and then they will build the Tower of Babel. I will quote what they say on their website about this exhibit of three-part model of Jerusalem:
“They will follow Jesus’ ministry in Jerusalem and learn about archaeological finds confirming the Bible’s history.”
But Jesus’ ministry wasn’t in Jerusalem, but rather to the north in Galilee. There was a lot of activity at the end of his ministry in Jerusalem, but that was not where His ministry occurred. The disciples were informed to go where they were from and meet Him in Galilee and it wasn't in the entire world as Judaized dispensationalist churches would have you believe.
