If you’ve spent any time exploring biblical prophecy, you know that Israel is always at the center of the action. But what if I told you that there’s actual physical evidence—etched into the very landscape of the Holy Land—that God Himself placed His name there?
That’s exactly what evangelist Perry Stone claims in a recent video, where he reveals a fascinating discovery: a satellite image showing Hebrew letters formed naturally by the shadows of Israel’s mountain ranges.
The image, which was taken over 20 years ago, appears to display the name of God, hidden in plain sight.

A Stunning Discovery in the Mountains of Israel
Stone recounts how he came across this remarkable image. While at a shop in Israel, he and his guide, Gideon Shore, examined a satellite picture of the nation.
“My guide Gideon, who is Hebrew, he says, ‘Perry, this is amazing,’” Stone recalls. When Gideon studied the image closely, he saw that the shadows of the mountains actually formed recognizable Hebrew letters. “When he looked at it, he gave me the letters, he interpreted it, and he was stunned.”
The letters, Stone explains, spell out a profound biblical message. They include “Yah” (a shortened form of Yahweh), along with the name “Ephraim.” In Hebrew, Ephraim means “fruitful,” and Stone connects this to Jacob’s dream at Bethel, where he saw a ladder reaching into heaven and declared, “This is the gate of heaven.”
According to Stone, this discovery aligns perfectly with what God has already said in Scripture. He points to Deuteronomy 12:5-6: “But you shall seek the place where the Lord your God chooses out of all your tribes to put His name for His dwelling place, and there you shall go.” Over and over again, the Bible states that God has placed His name in Israel. And now, thanks to modern satellite imagery, we may actually be able to see that inscription in the landscape itself.
Mount Moriah and the Name of God
For Stone, this isn’t just an interesting coincidence—it’s confirmation of a spiritual truth that has been in the Bible all along. He takes his audience back to Mount Moriah, the site where Abraham offered Isaac, where David built an altar and where Solomon’s Temple stood. “This is the place where God said, ‘I will put my name,’” Stone emphasizes.
Throughout the Torah, God declares that He will choose a specific place to dwell, and Stone believes this discovery reinforces that promise. “Eight times God mentions a place He puts His name in the Torah,” he notes, reminding us that Jerusalem is no ordinary city. It has been set apart by God for His purposes since the very beginning.
Why This Matters
This revelation comes at a time when Israel is under constant scrutiny—both politically and spiritually. Many people dismiss the biblical significance of the land, seeing it as nothing more than a contested piece of real estate. But Stone pushes back against that mindset. “When people say to you, ‘Oh, that stuff in the Bible is crazy, and there’s nothing to Israel, it’s just a piece of property with a bunch of mountains and dirt’, don’t believe them,” he insists. “Because it is the place where God put His name.”
For believers, this discovery is a powerful reminder that God’s hand is still on Israel. It’s not just about history, it’s about prophetic destiny. If the Bible says God has written His name on the land, and now we can see evidence of it from space, what other biblical promises might we soon see fulfilled?
Whether you’re a student of prophecy or just someone curious about the ways God speaks through His creation, this is something worth paying attention to.
