Proof The Bible Is True

07/11/23 A Roman-era mosaic depicting the biblical prophet Samson has been uncovered by archaeologists at the 1,600-year-old synagogue at Huqoq, an ancient Jewish village in the Lower Galilee. The discovery was made as part of an international archaeological effort led by Prof. Jodi Magness from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The excavation project has shone a light on the Land of Israel in the late Roman era of around 400 CE, revealing much about the socio-cultural dynamics of the period.   Read More: Mosaics of biblical Samson uncovered in Galilee archaeological dig – The Jerusalem Post

12/19/22 After years of research, Israeli archaeologists have deciphered inscriptions on stone tablets found in Jerusalem that support the existence of the 8th century B.C. biblical King Hezekiah. The inscriptions mention Hezekiah’s name and list some of his greatest accomplishments, including the construction of pools and tunnels and the conquest of Philistia. Parts of the inscriptions can be found today inside the Siloam Tunnel, in the City of David in Jerusalem, where they have been since they were made there 2,731 years ago. Prof. Gershon Galil, the head of Haifa University’s Institute for Biblical Studies and Ancient History, deciphered the [More]

10/03/21   Nearly everyone, religious or not, knows the story of how the Ten Commandments came to be.   The biblical book of Exodus, in chapter 19, lays out the scene: Moses and the Israelites, months after being freed from captivity in Egypt, arrived in the Sinai Desert. Moses was eventually called to the top of a mountain towering over the group’s camp, where God descended with fire, smoke and lightning. After being instructed to do so, Moses then gave God’s covenants to the people of Israel.   While the Ten Commandments have survived in their entirety, the exact location of “Mount Sinai” [More]

12/23/20   A ritual bath dating to the time of Jesus has been unearthed at Gethsemane, the place where Jesus prayed just before his Crucifixion.   The 2,000-year-old bath was found near the site of the famous modern-day Church of All Nations. It marks the first time that Second Temple period remains have been found at the site.   Excavators also found the remains of a previously unknown Byzantine period church dating back 1,500 years.   The remains were uncovered by workmen building a new visitor centre and foot tunnel linking the modern church to the Kidron Valley. The finds [More]

10/08/19 In Psalm 60, the Psalmist describes the totality of God’s victory over Israel’s foes, proclaiming “Moab is my wash basin; upon Edom I cast my sandal.” This is only one of more than 100 mentions of Edom in the Old Testament. The Edomites were descendants from Esau, Jacob’s older brother. The Genesis account of the troubled twins describes Esau as red all over when he was born. Esau, you might remember, sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red stew. Edom means “red” in Hebrew; thus, Esau’s descendants came to be known as Edomites. Over the years, [More]

08/13/19   Archaeologists excavating Mount Zion in Jerusalem have discovered evidence of the Babylonian conquest of the city, as accounted for in the Bible.   Researchers from the University of North Carolina retrieved ash deposits, arrowheads and broken pieces of pots and lamps at the site. But that wasn’t the most important item — they also uncovered an item of jewelry which was popular among the “elites.” This tiny detail, they say, confirms the Biblical narrative of Jerusalem’s wealth prior to the conquest in 587-586 BC.   Read More: Archaeologists in Jerusalem Discover Compelling Evidence of Historic Biblical Conquest – [More]

07/18/19   Elnur Amikishiyev Archaeologists in Israel believe they have unearthed the 12th century BC biblical city of Ziklag.   In the book of 1 Samuel, David flees from King Saul and settles in the Philistine town of Ziklag until Saul’s death.   The site was found 43 miles from Jerusalem, near the modern city of Kiryat Gat.   Read More: Archaeologists discover King David’s city of refuge – The Christian InstituteThe Christian Institute

02/25/18   The Israel Antiquities Authority announced a 2,700-year-old papyrus reference to Jerusalem has been recovered and put on public display – the oldest non-biblical Hebrew document mentioning the city.   The papyrus, originally stolen by antiquities thieves, shows two clear lines of writing: “From the king’s maidservant, from Naharta, jars of wine, to Jerusalem.”   The scroll was originally plundered from a cave in Nahal Hever in the Judean Desert near the Dead Sea by antiquities thieves.

The biblical narrative that the first Egyptian Dynasty descended from the biblical Ham, the son of Noah, as told in the book of Genesis, could well be supported by recent research based on DNA taken from Egyptian mummies, analysts said. According to CNN, researchers from the University of Tuebingen and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, both in Germany, found “unexpected results” when decoding the genome of ancient Egyptians. Their work, published online in Nature Communications, concluded that preserved remains found in Abusir-el Meleq, Middle Egypt, were the closest genetic relatives of Neolithic and [More]

This presentation attempts to make Bible archaeology culturally relevant by showing how it relates to issues facing our culture today. Atheists and skeptics accuse the God of the Old Testament as being an unjust, unforgiving tyrant. To answer these charges we examine the practices of the Canaanites and surrounding nations, including Sodom and Gomorrah, through archaeological evidence to show why God had to judge them and end their practices.

Archaeologist, Dr. Steven Collins directs the Tall el-Hammam Excavation Project in Jordan, the likely site of biblical Sodom. His latest book, Discovering the City of Sodom (Howard Books/Simon & Schuster 2013; co-authored with Dr. Latayne C. Scott), documents the search for, and discovery of the Bible’s most infamous city. His research, discoveries and excavations are challenging long-accepted views and revealing serious flaws in theories that deny historical authenticity to the patriarchal narratives of the Torah books, particularly Genesis. Many have hailed Dr. Collins’ discovery of Sodom as the most important discovery in the history of biblical archaeology. This presentation will [More]

For decades secular archaeologists have dismissed the Bible’s account of Joshua’s battle at Ai. It bears little resemblance to the terrain at et-Tell. But what if they’re looking in the wrong place? Archaeology Joshua’s conquest of Jericho is one of the most exciting and popular accounts in all the Old Testament (Joshua 6). The events over the next few weeks, however, are less well-known and often overlooked. But the conquest of the Canaanite fortress (or city) of Ai, recounted in Joshua 7–8, remains of great importance in the history of God’s dealing with His people.1 Read More Getting Archaeology Right [More]
