Clay Lamp Kits

What was life like in Bible times? How did people live in their daily lives? These are questions that any person who has read the Bible has asked themselves and others. However, the time of the Bible and the culture are so far in the past that it is often hard to imagine how life must have been. In many cases this is difficult or impossible for a modern person. However, we here at Jerusalem Maranatha are happy to offer you the ability to understand how lighting worked in Bible times. Each of these sets of lamps are exact recreations of actual lamps found in archeological digs here in the land of the Bible. Each of these sets were commissioned by us as reproductions of genuine ancient lamps that we have here in our shop. The lamps are fully functional and will allow you immerse yourself deeper into the stories and parables of Jesus. They are made of durable clay and will provide you with years of service. Each of these sets includes olive oil from the holy land and wicks. Beyond that, each of these sets include something intangible: they will take the stories of the Bible and make them leap from the page to your hand. Instead of simply reading the stories, you will experience them. You will hold a clay lamp just like the ones Jesus used, you will smell the wick burning the oil, and you will be present in the story with Jesus. If you are teaching a class, or yourself, the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, what better way than with an actual lamp from the holy land? A lamp that is just like one used in the time of Christ? The need to be prepared and alert for His coming will become apparent when you watch the lamp consume olive oil. It will press home lessons that may not be readily evident to a modern person in the age of electric lighting. Whether as a gift for others, a teaching aid, or for your own personal study, these lamps are a must have for a Bible student. They will be shipped to you from the holy city and have deep connections to the land of Israel. Make the Bible come alive today with one of these sets!
