The earliest inscription that declared Jesus is God was discovered on a mosaic during the expansion of a high-security prison in Israel. It was constructed about 200 years after Jesus' death.
READ MORE: Mysterious object showsThe earliest inscription declaring Jesus as God - deemed 'the greatest discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls' - was uncovered beneath the floor of an Israeli prison and is now on display in America.
The floor has been hidden under the prison since it was discovered in 2005, but has now been lent to a museum in Washington, DC, until July 2025. The Megiddo Mosaic is currently on display at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC , took four years to recover the 581-square-foot mosaic floor. The mosaic also contained the names of five women, highlighting the important role women played in the church.
The mosaic featured some of the earliest images of fish being used to represent Christianity, mirroring the story told in Luke 9:16 when Jesus multiplied two fish to feed a crowd of 5,000 people 'While they were clearly important to the community, the inscription does not tell us whether they were patrons of the community , or martyrs, or honored for some other reason,' the Museum of the Bible said.
