Ten Recent Discoveries That Will Blow Your Mind

1. A breakthrough study from the Institute of Crystallography in Italy has just confirmed that the image of the man on the Shroud of Turin is composed of real blood and in fact a microscopic analysis of blood particles reveals that the blood had to come from someone undergoing torture. This just further confirms the possible authenticity of the Shroud (see here).
2. Using a recently developed X-ray imaging technology, archaeologists were able to read the inside of a biblical scroll that was covered in ash during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The results? The current manuscripts we have of the book of Leviticus haven't changed in 2,000 years. The Bible has been unaltered.
3. Archaeologists have just discovered the location of the fishing village on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee where the Apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip lived. A bathhouse was unearthed, as well as the remains of an ancient church that sat over the apostles' birthplace.
4. As if we needed any more evidence that the Bible is the genuine article, the existence of 53 different individuals mentioned in the Bible have now been proven by the historical record.
5. The Israeli Antiquities Authority has just unveiled further evidence of the First Temple's demise at the hands of the Babylonians, including shattered pottery, ivory statuettes, charred wood, and other artifacts.
6. The seal of King Hezekiah was recently discovered, proving that the righteous king really did exist and even more - a separate discovery at Tel Lachish National Park shows beyond a reasonable doubt that King Hezekiah destroyed Israel's idols as recorded in 2 Kings 18:4.
7. The existence and subsequent destruction of both the First and Second Temples has been proven by a myriad of recent discoveries.
8. A routine survey in the Israeli countryside has uncovered a one-mile long Roman road that was in use during the time of Christ. Nestled in between the stones of the road were a number of Roman coins, including one dated to 29 AD, which depicts Pontius Pilate.
9. After Iraqi forces recently recaptured ISIS-held Mosul, they discovered a palace belonging to the Assyrian King Sennacherib and his son Esarhaddon who succeeded him - both of whom are mentioned in the Bible (2 Kings 18:13-19:37, 2 Chronicles 33:11). Sennacherib is the king who came up against Jerusalem under the reign of righteous King Hezekiah, and Sennacherib's entire army of 185,000 was killed in the night by a single angel sent by God.
10. Another recent discovery of a number of inscriptions found in the Negev Desert shows that literacy was widespread in preexilic Judah, which pokes a major hole in the secular theory of the Bible's development and is strong evidence that the Bible is much older than secular theorists had thought.

"Awesome! Thanks for posting."
Dittos. And enjoyable and refreshingly non-political read.

I examine near term (fewer than 58 days from today) prophecy in detail at “The Rescue of the Bride” http://october-5-2017.com The Great Sign of the Woman appears on September 23, 2017 exactly at sunset in Jerusalem - exactly at the end of Rosh Ha Shanah, exactly at the time of the blowing of “the last trump.” [The two (2) day observance will start one day late this year.] In my opinion, this is a likely “rescue” date. We see the first evidence that the “rescue” has occurred when “The Great Multitude in White Robes” [Revelation 7:9ff] appears in the throne room of Yahuah (God) twelve (12) days later just after the opening of the Sixth Seal on October 5, 2017. These events allow us to unlock the timeline of the Book of Revelation.

I didn’t really think the historical basis of much of the Bible was up even for questioning anymore—other than, for example, whether the blood of the tortured was Jesus’s blood specifically.

The blood analysis of the shroud is compelling

Regarding Item (2) - I was wondering what a Biblical scroll would be doing at Naples in AD 79 (I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if it had Jewish population), so I followed the link. The scroll in question was from a site in Israel, not from Naples and was not charred by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius.
Just clarifying.

Jesus is WAY beyond “good and all”. He is the Son of God and his death and resurrection is your means to avoid eternal loss. Read John 3:16. In fact read the whole Book of John.
The reason these discoveries are important and not just “crap religious kookery” is many people attack the Bible regarding its historical record, claiming individuals and cities depicted in the Bible didn’t really exist. Yet all Biblical archeology has confirmed the Biblical record. I am not saying the entire Bible has been confirmed by archeology, I am saying what has been found has been confirming.
