WASHINGTON — An ancient mosaic located near what’s believed to be the site of the prophesied battle of Armageddon in Israel contains a reference to Jesus as God, providing insights into early Christian worship during a time when the Roman Empire still persecuted followers of Christ.

The Megiddo Mosaic, which decorated one of the oldest Christian prayer halls, is now on display at the Museum of the Bible as part of an exhibition that runs through July 2025. The mosaic bears images of a fish, a symbol of early Christianity, and a Greek inscription that reads “To God Jesus Christ.” More Here
