Thank you for your reply! I should have been more precise. My remark was with reference to secular doubts concerning the true antiquity of the Jewish faith.

aka. Middle Eastern lies swallowed hook line and sinker by the Left. Satan has always despised the Chosen people of God, and hates those adopted into the family with equal furor. A la Mel Gibson!

Indeed. One which "floors" me is the rule of dating used by modern scholars, which basically says that if anything prophesied actually happened then the book containing the prophesy must have been written afterwards because otherwise the author would have been a prophet which is impossible according to "scientific materialism".

Some of the ancient civilizations recorded things in stone or metal which has lasted over the years and can be easily dated. For the most part, the Jewish people used materials which did not last - thus the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the above silver engraving.

In the case of the "scholarly" method described above, before the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, studied and carbon-dated, it was assumed that the book of Enoch was written after 37 B.C. because it contained prophesies about Herod (whose reign began 37 B.C.) but before Christ because it was quoted by the apostles. But carbon dating of the Dead Sea Scrolls (which themselves are copies from another copy or original) dated the DSS copy to about 200 B.C. LOL! So much for "scholarly" method of dating...
