CNN recently announced that an ancient 20-page manuscript dating to 800-1000 AD, was discovered last week, in a bog, in the Irish Midlands.
The director of the National Museum of Ireland said, "This is really a miracle find."
The manuscript was opened at Psalms 83. The Latin text of that Psalm, describes how Arab and Middle Eastern powers form a last-days covenant against the God of Israel and against the Jewish people, in order to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
Personally i think jesus is at the door waiting for gabriel to blow his horn and usher his people home.

Sorry to correct a piece of misinformation. The Psalter precedes current English translations, and the psalm numbers were different. Psalm 83 in the found volume corresponds with Psalm 84 in the English Bibles.
"How lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts...."
My guess is that God is kind of fond of peat bogs.

Actually, the copy is from the Catholic Bible, not the King James version. The psalm is not the one you reference because of that.

I just think it's a pretty cool find. While it is a relgious book, the find is more imortant to the scientific and archaeological communities.

I'd say it's an interesting, though not particularly significant, historical and cultural find. Nothing more.

I'd say, wow, and let it go at that. I know what time it is and will not allow anything to separate me from the truth.><>
