PCR is short for polymerase chain reaction and is a method we can use to clone sequences of DNA. We often want to clone these sequences a whole bunch (on the order of a billion copies of a single sequence!), so technology is obviously involved. This is how it works: DNA is collected from somewhere.
Every country and state and province has a place like Nazareth. Itâs a place so remote that nothing ever happens there, no one of distinction lives there, and no one of importance comes from there. It seemed highly unlike that the Messiah would come from a place like that.
Josephus does, however, have something to say about Japha (Yafa, Japhia), a village just one mile to the southwest of Nazareth where he himself lived for a time (Life 52). A glance at a topographical map of the region shows that Nazareth is located at one end of a valley, bounded on three sides by hills.
