Nope. Don't just guess... Learn... It'll involve a little more research than that.

However, you should be able to find most/all the tools you need on the internet.

One more clue. The inscription is written in Moabite, but Moabite was essentially Israelite (i.e. Hebrew).

Please read one of the major mainstream histories, such as H. Sachar's A History of Israel: From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time which spells out in great detail the way in which prophecy was used and abused in the quest to build modern Israel.

Again, please post the ten best or ten favorite you think are fulfilled in the modern state of Israel.

is this a pre-figuration of Jesus? a type and shadow of the future? a prophetic "flash forward" of Jesus?

No it isn't Mini-Me.

researcher Perry Stone has some fascinating things to say about the moabites then and now. the moabites are foretold to play a dramatic and world changing role.

K.C. Hanson has an error on his <a href="http://www.kchanson.com/ANCDOCS/westsem/elkerak.html" target="_blank">El Kerak Inscription</a> subpage. Your challenge, should you accept it, is to find and understand the error, then report it here. The person who actually finds K.C. Hanson's source and determines whether the error was Hanson's or the source's will be rewarded by that much more self-satisfaction. Feel free to use the internet, but I don't think you'll find anything because as far as I know, my friend and I are the only ones who know about it.

Hints to this point

o It is necessary to use the picture.
o The inscription is written in Moabite, but Moabite was essentially Israelite (i.e. Hebrew).

New Hint

o The alphabet is written in <a href="http://www.crowndiamond.org/bhm/abook16.html" target="_blank">"paleo Hebrew"</a>

Bump... This last hint should really help, btw.
