Description
Ancient Light of Faith: Herodian Lamp from Jesus’ Time
This artifact from Jerusalem’s Second Temple Period offers a tangible connection to biblical times. Authentic Oil Lamp used at the Time of Jesus reveals daily life in ancient Judea. Burn marks on the nozzle indicate actual ancient use. Measuring 3.6 inches in length, it features wheel-made terracotta construction. Jewish craftsmen avoided decorations to honor laws against graven images.
Biblical Significance
The lamp ties to Matthew 25:1-13’s Parable of the Ten Virgins. Here, lamps symbolize faith profession, while oil represents spiritual readiness. Wise virgins carried extra oil, as these lamps burned for 50–70 minutes per fill. Thus, it embodies preparedness for the Messiah.
Collectors, pastors, and Bible teachers value it. Includes display stand, authenticity certificate, and IAA export approval. Shipped from Jerusalem.
