new york (cnnmoney) -- after 244 years, encyclopedia britannica will cease production of its iconic multi-volume book sets.. britannica usually prints a new set of the tomes every two years, but 2010's 32-volume set will be its last.

instead, the company will focus solely on its digital encyclopedia and education tools.. the news is sure to sadden champions of the printed word, but britannica president jorge cauz said the move is a natural part of his company's evolution.. "everyone will want to call this the end of an era, and i understand that," cauz says.

"but there's no sad moment for us.

God will YET choose Israel ... In light of somethig I just read in another topic

sharing .... god will yet choose israelisaiah 14:1 says, "for the lord will have mercy on jacob, and will yet choose israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of jacob.".

many denominations hold to the view that god has forsaken the nation of israel forever.

they feel that because israel crucified their messiah, jesus christ, that god has taken away the promises he made to israel, and has applied those promises to the present day predominantly gentile church.

the beth-shan deed.

the deed to the beth-shan house and property were, like beth-sarim, made out to abraham, david, and the other old testament "princes.

" in reading the deed to beth-shan, one could get the impression that it is simply beth-sarim, part ii --the two deeds are very similar.
