HERODIAN Oil lamp

For use with olive oil and wick.

Known as the Herodian because of its widespread use during the reign of Herod the Great in Israel (circa 37 BC to 4 BC), this lamp was wheel-made with the spout applied by hand. Thus, every Herodian lamp is slightly different. The type remained in use up to about AD 150 in some parts of the Holy Land,

This lamp is the best choice for those wishing to have a lamp like those most common in Judea during the ministry of Jesus.

CANAANITE oil lamp

1500 BC to 600 BC (about 4.75" in diameter)

Among the earliest of clay lamps is the saucer lamp of the Iron Age. In antiquity, these developed after a saucer or shallow bowl had its edges folded up to form a spout. A great variety of these lamps exists and this replica is based on a style common from about 1200 BC to 800 BC, but could extend farther back and forward in time several centuries. These lamps would have been the style in use in the Old Testament especially in king David's time. Every Canaan lamp is hand folded, so minor variation from that seen in the photo will occur, but all have this general look. Now $6.90

Joh.8:12 "Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

Scripture References from

Matthew 25:1-13

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth

to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish

took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made,

Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed

their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to

them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they

that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the

other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you,

I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Hello George,

I wanted to thank-you for your excellent service.

I gave the lamps to girls at our church this evening. They were so excited to get them and know they were from Israel. It made the Parable of the Ten Virgins more poignant for them as they held their lamps and pondered the messages in the scripture.

A comment from a customers:

Dear George,

You have excelled yourself!!!! I can hardly wait to have some of them in the flesh.

I have shown your lamp to some Sunday School teachers and they are really excited

and want some lamps. How many do you have in stock now?

Blessings,

David
