The crime against history most don’t know about… ISIS destroyed Assyrian archeology. They burnt Aramaic manuscripts. They blew up Old Testament history including the Tomb of Jonah. They erased ancient Churches, driving Assyrians out of Nineveh. How much was lost?

The most systematic cultural genocide that nobody talks about. ISIS destroyed Assyrian history *before* the Old Testament (Nimrud). ISIS destroyed Assyrian history *from* the Old Testament (Jonah). ISIS destroyed Assyrian history *after* the New Testament (>90 Churches).

An Assyrian boy in Iraq singing a rare Aramaic hymn called “O’ Gannana”. It translates to “O Gardener”, recounting the story of Mary Magdalene encountering the empty tomb. She thought He was the Gardener, before realizing He Lives. We must rescue this dying language.

Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, an Aramaic chant by an Assyrian priest in Georgia. The haunting chant captures Jesus' sorrow & final prayers before his arrest. It was here that Christ was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, who arrived with a crowd of temple guards.

This is a remarkable story that most Christians will never hear. How an Iraqi Dominican friar saved thousands of ancient Aramaic manuscripts from ISIS. "Since the arrival of ISIS to Mosul, I felt there was a threat to culture." The Assyro-Chaldean man, Najeeb Michaeel, had a hunch that ISIS was coming to Mosul. Years before in 2007, he received threatening letters arrived at his monastery which each contained a broken cross and a bullet. On the night of August 6, Fr Najeeb loaded cars & trucks with thousands of manuscripts and fled for Erbil. "I felt that providence & heaven were with us... It was like Noah's ark." Because of checkpoint & road closures, he had to ask strangers to help him smuggle the documents on foot. "There was a swarm of Daesh cars with black flags hanging around. We didn't know where to go." Thank you Fr Najeeb.

I am sorry to post something so graphic. I simply want the world to remember this massacre during the Iraq War. October 31, 2010. Islamist terrorists attacked an Assyro-Chaldean Church during a service in Baghdad. They took hostages. They would soon killed the hostages & blew themselves up. I just want you ponder the reality of the Iraq War & what it did to ancestral Christians. Assyrians are an Old Testament nation that has been in their homeland of Mesopotamia ("Bet Nahrain") for thousands of years. They've been Aramaic-speaking Christians for 2000 years. They contributed to Christianity not just as early Christians, but as the largest non-state missionary operation that took the faith as far as China & Japan. The Iraq war forced a collapse in their population from 1.5 million to less than 200,000 today. One of COUNTLESS massacres that happened during the Iraq War which drove an emigration crisis. Priests & bishops were kidnapped. Nuns were beheaded. Regularly. I am not talking about once or twice. This was a common event from 2002-2011--with a brief pause before the rise of ISIS in Nineveh in 2014. Why does nobody talk about these people? Why are there no international efforts to restore this population to its homeland? To rebuild their churches, to restore the property that they left behind, now occupied by squatters? They care about every genocide except Christian genocide.

This Assyrian Bishop lost his eye on a livestream. For the first time since he was stabbed during mass, Bishop Mar Mari has talked about the terrorist attack. "The knife went through the right eye." Assyrians were driven out of the East & have now been targeted in multiple high-profile attacks in the West because of the zeal of their Christianity. "I pray the whole world comes back to Jesus Christ because there is only one God & his name is JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH." There were over 1.5 million Assyrians in Iraq alone & there are now less than 200,000 in the country driven by the Iraq War & the rise of ISIS. They have large diaspora communities where they continue their ancient faith. Like Bruce Lee, Mar Mari is one of the most viral Christians on the internet. The Bishop survived the attempt on his life. "I pray that he's a saint one day in heaven."

The Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ. There was a time when the entire Middle East was Christian. As Christians dwindle in countries like Iraq, Syria, Turkey & Iran, so does the Aramaic language. It survives liturgically but will it exist in 100 years?

A powerful sermon from a young Assyrian girl speaking in Aramaic on The Feast of The Holy Cross. Incredible words from a child living in Iraq where Christians have been persecuted relentlessly. In the language of Jesus, this young girl asks: Would we work as hard to uncover the cross deep within us as humanity did to uncover Christ's physical cross? The Feast commemorates the day Saint Helena, Emperor Constantine's Mother, found the True Cross in Jerusalem. "I ask you: Are we willing to uncover Christ beneath everything buried in our hearts?" If Christ examined our hearts today, what would he find? "A heart that forgives? A heart that bears with everyone and judges no one?" "Or will he find a cross that is hanging on our necks, but far from the way we live our lives?" And she ends with a very powerful statement. "If Christ carried His cross for me all the way to the end, am I willing to carry my cross for Him?" God bless her. ܥܹܐܕܵܐ ܕܨܠܝܼܒ݂ܵܐ ܒܪܝܼܟ݂ܵܐ

We can't fully understand the Bible without the Aramaic language. There are at least 12,000 instances of mistranslation that can only be reconciled through Aramaic. Three examples: 1. The Old Testament speaks of a "Jealous God". When taking the Aramaic, the accurate reading is a "Zealous God". 2. English translations recount Jesus on the cross pleading to The Father: "Why have you forsaken me?". But Jesus spoke in Aramaic, not Greek. What he said in his Aramaic tongue translates to: "For this was my destiny". 3. Paul in Corinthians said the Messiah HAS come, not that the Messiah WILL come. Because of an Aramaic mistranslation, the Greek (and thus English today) versions state that the Messiah *will* come. This has lead to "second coming" interpretations that disappear based on the original Aramaic framing. Aramaic was the spoken tongue of Jesus. The New Testament captures what he spoke aloud in Aramaic. We can't completely understand Christ without his language.
