William Franklin Graham Jr.
(November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018)

Billy Graham was a evangelist, ordained Southern Baptist minister,
and civil rights advocate whose broadcasts and world crusades
featuring live sermons became well known in the mid-to-late 20th century. Throughout his career, spanning over six decades,
Graham rose to prominence as an evangelical Christian figure
in the United States and abroad. He died Feb. 21 at his home in
Montreat. He was 99.

On October 31, 1517, legend has it that the priest and scholar
Martin Luther approached the door of the Castle Church in
Wittenberg, Germany, and nailed a piece of paper to it
containing the 95 revolutionary opinions that would begin
the Protestant Reformation.

In his theses, Luther condemned the excesses and corruption
of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the papal practice
of asking payment—called “indulgences”—for the forgiveness
of sins.

(FOX NEWS) – Archaeologists have discovered an ancient dam
in Jerusalem’s City of David, not far from the body of water
where Jesus Christ healed a blind man.

Officials noted in an Aug. 30 release that the wall was recently
found during excavations near the Pool of Siloam within the
Jerusalem Walls National Park.

The Pool of Siloam, rediscovered in 2004, existed as a basin
fed by the Gihon Spring. The Gospel of John recounts the
testimony of a blind man who was healed by Jesus at the
pool.

John 9:10–11 states, "’How then were your eyes opened?’ they
asked. He replied, ‘The man they call Jesus made some mud
and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So
I went and washed, and then I could see.’

The newly discovered dam dates to the ninth century B.C.,
nearly 2,800 years ago. It could have been built under the reign
of either King Joash or King Amaziah, according to officials.
