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
2. Using a recently developed X-ray imaging technology, archaeologists were able to read the inside of a biblical scroll that was in such fragile condition that it could not be unrolled. 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 historical records.
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 LachishNational 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 depictsPontius 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 kings18:13-19:37, 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.
