Whenever I come across two words repeated in Scripture, my eyes and my ears perk up. When those two words are connected to the second most mentioned city in the Bible, my mind and my spirit join in. When I have the opportunity to actually visit the place mentioned, my two feet start moving. When it all comes together, it feels like something special is in the works. Such is the case with the site of the ancient ruins of Babylon in biblical Iraq!

There is a famous song by Led Zeppelin titled “A Stairway to Heaven.” I wonder if Led was influenced by the misunderstanding of the story of the Tower of Babel when he wrote this popular piece of music. After having the opportunity to see the place and the base of the structure that symbolized sacred space in the ancient world, I am convinced that what we call in English the Tower of Babel was actually an invitation for the pagan gods to visit earth. Unfortunately, for the poor pagans who lived on the plains in biblical Iraq, the one true God RSVPed, came down the stairway FOR heaven, and the rest is history!

Have you ever wondered what the Gospel of Matthew was like before translators and theologians got hold of it? We now have documents that answer this question! And by the way, they are written in Hebrew—the language in which Matthew wrote his gospel!

For hundreds of years, 28 ancient Hebrew manuscripts of Matthew have been locked away in libraries around the world. Now, like prying open oysters and harvesting their treasures, our groundbreaking Hebrew Gospel Pearls studies are opening these manuscripts and bringing the pearls to the surface for all to see their value!

Studying these documents raises questions we didn’t even know we needed to ask and provides answers that have eluded readers for centuries. At last, we can set aside what translators and theologians want us to think and focus on what Matthew intended us to understand.

No one else is doing anything like this! Don’t miss this unique opportunity to encounter the Gospel of Matthew “B.T.T.” (before translators and theologians). We believe these ancient manuscripts have a message for us today!
