King Hezekiah's Seal Impression Found in the Ophel Excavations, Jerusalem
I did not like the winged sundisk, and the ankh on his seal... Those were bad choices for a seal.
2 Kings 18:4
He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.)
Why would he have these pagan symbols from Egypt on his seal..?
2 Kings 18
Excavation leader Dr. Eilat Mazar said, “The Egyptian motifs were spread over the second millennium BCE all over the region,” so they had a different meaning than for the Egyptians.
The Times of Israel continued, “Ancient Judeans employed the sun disk to denote the Almighty, and its bowed wings may connote Hezekiah’s expression that ‘my power is thanks to God’s protection.’”

What if Jesus meant every word He said?
