No wonder the Waqf is doing everything they can to destroy all historical sites at the Temple Mount.

I have no doubt that the Bible is a good historical text. It is to throw the baby out with the bath water to say “Well, none of these miracles could have happened, so all of it is junk”.

It must be fascinating to be so closely involved with history that no one has seen for thousands of years until you un-Earthed it. Cheers to the archeologists.

Of course this Gedaliah must not be confused with the Gedaliah in Jeremiah 40, who was the son of Ahikam.

More credibility for the Bible’s historical accuracy.

I wonder if these two ministers got drunk on wine one day and decided to use their seals to make impressions in the clay outside the gates... Kind of like official graffiti. Or maybe their kids were friends who borrowed their respective fathers’ seals for a day after a bit of rain and stamped the impressions into the clay outside the gate...

The find might have been the ID tag of Jeremiah’s bulldog for all we know.

The Bible is written in often very unflattering way about the Hebrews. If they were going to change the truth would they not have written away all or at least many of the glaringly terrible and unflattering things said about themselves in their own writings. It stands to reason that you can trust that they were also conveying the truth about the miracles. Documenting truth was obviously their primary directive.
