Now I know this will come as a great shock to those of you who haven’t seen (or don’t believe) Zeitgeist, but it seems as though there might have been a Judaic history of “dead for three days and resurrected” which predates Christianity.
Tablet Ignites Debate on Messiah and Resurrection
The slaying of Simon, or any case of the suffering messiah, is seen as a necessary step toward national salvation, he says, pointing to lines 19 through 21 of the tablet — “In three days you will know that evil will be defeated by justice” — and other lines that speak of blood and slaughter as pathways to justice.
To make his case about the importance of the stone, Mr. Knohl focuses especially on line 80, which begins clearly with the words “L’shloshet yamin,” meaning “in three days.” The next word of the line was deemed partially illegible by Ms. Yardeni and Mr. Elitzur, but Mr. Knohl, who is an expert on the language of the Bible and Talmud, says the word is “hayeh,” or “live” in the imperative. It has an unusual spelling, but it is one in keeping with the era.
Two more hard-to-read words come later, and Mr. Knohl said he believed that he had deciphered them as well, so that the line reads, “In three days you shall live, I, Gabriel, command you.”

I would submit that this “ancient tablet” is probably another sensationalist scam, as is clearly indicated by the facts
(1) that no specific information is available on its provenance and
(2) that no details are provided on carbon dating of the ink.
As such, this “news” brings to mind the faked Lost-Tomb-of-Jesus “documentary” designed to make a profit off of people’s fascination with the “real” Jesus, as well as the larger scandal of the biased and misleading way the Dead Sea scrolls are being presented in museum exhibits around the world, with an antisemitic expression appearing on a government-run North Carolina museum’s website. See, e.g.,

Jonah Immanu, Christian Eschotologist and author of Alienated Planet Earth and the End that will be Coming to Our World says:
I am in agreement with the comment by Museum Ethics. Despite all the Satanic negative attention on some obscure tablet about an alleged prior-to-Christ resurrection, the facts regarding the exclusive Messiah Jesus (Anglicized Hebrew name: Yeshua) remain enforce. To date, nobody has or ever will come up wth the body of Yeshua which had been first sacrificed for the fallen world’s sin and subsequently resurrected into Heaven as stated in the gospels of the New Testament.
Seeing as in these end-times, the imminent rapture of His faithful saints is looming on the horizon, a plethora of deceptions by varied and numerous false prophets and others acting in the spirit of the antichrist is being disseminated globally. In Satan’s last vain attempt to debunk Yeshua’s crucifixion to pay for the fallen world’s sin and Yeshua’s subsequent resurrection back into heaven on the third day after having been crucified all manner of lies are being fabricated. Yeshua alone, now in His resurrected Heaven has the power to save a human being.
On Christ, the solid ROCK do stand; all other ground is SINKING sand. Such a sensational news item brings to mind other faked “documentaries” that were established on similar “SINKING” sand
in our fallen world.
On the bright and hopeful side, soon Yeshua’s will be completing His FULL mission by His second coming in glory and in majesty to establish the Kingdom of God upon our Earth in the greatest paradigm shift in history from corrupt political humankind government to a Divine Theocracy.
With these inevitable and sure upcoming prophetic events on the immediate horizon, Satan and his liars are hard at work attempting to debunk the gospels because their time is very short ruling this hopelessly lost, corrupt and fallen world.
Thank Yeshua that we have His salvation and His hope of fulfilled prophecy to look forward to as our sick humankind planet careens on to its inevitable confrontation with a Holy and an awesome Creator God.
We Christians pray that Yeshua will come very quickly. Meanwhile, may all living people exercise their volitional choice, now, to have Him rule over their lives before such propagating deceptions and lies take root and have any affect whatsoever upon the people living in this fallen world and our lives. Know the truth, believe in the Messiah Yeshua and let your individul choice to make Him Lord make a diference for all time and eternity.
In Yeshua’s Name,
Jonah Immanu
