2023 February-March: St. Petersburg, Bryansk, Moscow, Kolomna, Rostov Velikiy, Nizhniy Novgorod

February 24, 2023 By Dr. Oleg Voskresensky, Teacher

I am back in Moscow after leaving it four times already: for Bryansk, for Rostov Velikiy, for Kolomna and for Nizhniy Novgorod.

It is hard to imagine that a country stretching for eleven time zones east to west, and from the subtropics in the south to the Arctic Circle in the north, only has one hub city, but such is the case. I have already traveled in all directions from six of its eight railroad city terminals.

Behold the Man

February 15, 2023 By Dr. Don Bierle

By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President

Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and arrayed Him in a purple robe…Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” (John 19:1,2,5 [Emphasis added]).

“Ecce Homo” (Behold the Man) an altarpiece depicting the trial of Jesus at the hands of Pontius Pilate, by German artist Franz Ignaz Oefele, ca. 1763. (Public domain.)

Christmas is in the rearview mirror and the headlights barely reveal the coming Easter celebration. But archaeology is already helping to illuminate some interesting details about the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. 

In 35 BC, Herod the Great built the Antonia Fortress to protect Jerusalem’s vulnerability to attack from the north. This palace or citadel was placed at the northwest corner of the Temple mount. Its towers stood 115 feet high with underground passageways that gave access to the city and the mount. Its footprint was more than the size of a football field, plus additional surrounding area. It served as headquarters for the Roman army in Jerusalem. At times, Roman Governors would stay there during visits.

God’s Magnificent Creation

February 15, 2023 By fsisocialmedia

Our spectacular sun is an average-sized star but is still so big that over one million earths could fit inside it! The largest star known is Stephenson 2-18. About 10 billion of our suns could fit inside it!

Our amazing sun, as a result of nuclear fusion, reaches 10,000°F at the surface. That is five times hotter than molten rock from a volcano!

A bar-tailed godwit (bird) is small in comparison to stars but also is an astonishing creation. It was tagged by scientists with a GPS tracker. It migrated 8,435 continuous miles (non-stop) from Alaska to Tasmania in only eleven days (October 13-24, 2022). Obviously, a record!

In the News: A Nation in Crisis

February 15, 2023 By fsisocialmedia

There are many worldviews in the world, such as Marxism, Eastern Mysticism, biblical theism, nihilism, humanism, and postmodernism. Pollster George Barna found that the dominant worldview in America is not biblical theism but “syncretism,” a combination of many worldviews into one system. He said that America is a nation in crisis. “Only 6% of Americans possess… beliefs most closely aligned with Scripture.”
