Israeli construction workers were fixing a large water pipe near Jerusalem’s Temple Mount when they noticed mysterious ancient steps. They called on some archaeologists for help, namely Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron. The two proceeded to excavate the site and found one of the most significant archaeological affirmations of the Bible. The steps led down to a 225 feet long pool, the Pool of Siloam.
What they discovered matched the exact location of the Bible’s description of the pool. It was next to Hezekiah’s tunnel and near the Temple of the Mount.
According to The Bible, King Hezekiah first constructed the pool during his reign. It carried the fresh water from the Gihon Spring, delivering it to the rest of the city.
In the New Testament, the pool served as a mikveh or ritual bathing for the Jews. But during Jesus’ time, it did a greater purpose.

Well that’s pretty darn special. 🙏
Nice.
Fantastic!
Everything that’s been discovered by archaeological digs, has always proven the Bible correct. Always.
This is the sort of stuff i’m talking about. Ever so often you see a story that confirms something the bible said, but which there was no heretofore archaeological evidence.
I’m not being a jerk, but this thing looks liked it was uncovered years ago just based on the plant growth. Even back in the day nobody would want people bathing in their fresh drinking water.
I’m not a skeptic, I just don’t get to.
Thank you.
I just don’t get to.
I just don’t get it.
God is showing Himself through these discoveries.
That was quiet a while ago it was discovered. Seen it on Eric Staklebeck’s show The Watchman on one of the Christian channels on DirecTV.
Yes sir - always and without fault.
I don’t take your skepticism that way at all.
The Lord wants us to question Him about everything.
The heart that seeks will be given proof.
To your point, I believe they did actually uncover it in 2022 - so good observation on your part.
Yes sir it was. I just thought now with a fresh article it would be good to post.
Appreciate your input and I like Stakelbeck’s show also!
👍
NFN but I don’t get to either.
I didn’t read the article but this picture looks like the end of Hezekiah’s tunnel. Got to walk it in 2013- so many God directions happened to complete this and save Jerusalem!!
I think this is the exit from Hezekiah’s tunnel discovered years ago.... as I posted earlier....
Yes, it was. Excavations are now being carried out on the other part of the pool - it’s huge compared to what they’ve already done. They have heavy machinery running now, but as soon as they find anything significant, they move to hands-on.
What a blessing to see where a miracle by our Savior took place. It’s not all how I pictured it. Now I’ll visualize it properly when I read that passage.
Beautiful!
