“Though you have made me see troubles, 
many and bitter, you will restore my life again; 
from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. 
You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.” Ps 71: 20-21

 
SITE OF YESHUA'S FIRST MIRACLE UNCOVERED BY EXPERTS: Mystery has surrounded the site of Yeshua’s 'first miracle' for centuries, but an answer may finally be at hand. According to the Gospel of John, Yeshua changed water into wine during the Wedding at Cana. For hundreds of years, pilgrims have believed the site of the miracle to be Kafr Kanna, a town in northern Israel. But the true location has long been debated – and now archaeologists believe the Cana of biblical times may be a dusty hillside five miles further north. Excavations there have revealed a network of tunnels used for Christian worship. It's the former site of Khirbet Qana, a Jewish village between the years of 323 BC and AD 324, where archaeologists have discovered a number of compelling clues. Excavations there have revealed a network of tunnels marked with crosses and references to Kyrie Iesou, a Greek phrase meaning Lord Yeshua. There was also an altar and a shelf with the remains of a stone vessel, plus room for five more. Six stone jars like this held the wine in the biblical account of the miracle. Dr. Tom McCollough, who directs excavations at the site, said there were three other locations with a credible claim to being the Cana of scripture. 'But none has the ensemble of evidence that makes such a persuasive case for Khirbet Qana,' he said. (Daily Mail)
