Sodom and Gomorrah have at last been found. Or should I say, they have at last been RECOGNISED, because they have been lying undisturbed for thousands of years, unrecognised. I have written about this recently, based on the exciting Video produced by Jonathan Gray. Someone wrote to him saying, “How can you say that bricks and stone have been turned to ash? That never happens.” He replied, quite correctly I feel, that when a volcano explodes, literally millions of tons of VOLCANIC ASH spew out, known as TUFA. Nobody doubts that.

Further to “Amazing Historical Evidence”, P.T. 76, our enquiry now turns almost exclusively to Joseph of Arimathea. Who was he? Why was he such a rich man? And what was his previous connection with the British Isles? [Read more…]
