Wright surely can't ignore the evidence of the stone found in a Galilean synagogue. The symbols on the stone are concerned with worship at the altar of incense. This was in the sanctuary where the smoke of the Shekinah glory went up from the altar. There are no symbols on the stone to do with animal sacrifice which was outside the sanctuary. The altar of incense was kept burning 24/7. The two small brushes on the stone are symbols for the brushes that were used to sweep away the ash ready for fresh incense. The Shekinah glory was thus far from being out of business. The stone was a symbol of belief and practice at the time. geoffhudson.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724916983698195467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-32622484054892818662014-11-13T15:31:13.823-05:002014-11-13T15:31:13.823-05:00Mark, the images on the Migdal stone are good evid...Mark, the images on the Migdal stone are good evidence that for some Jews at least, around the turn of the first century, God's glory had not departed from the temple.geoffhudson.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724916983698195467noreply@blogger.com
