Romanos 15:4.La Biblia narra eventos tales como una inundación global, la travesía de seiscientas mil personas a través de un mar en una sola noche, la provisión de pan que cae del cielo, un asno que habla, una batalla en la que el sol se detiene por casi un día completo y personas que resucitan de entre los muertos. ¿Estos relatos son hechos verídicos o simplemente mitos, al igual que las historias de Hércules y Perseo?En primer lugar, la propia Biblia respalda la autenticidad de estos relatos. Jesús, por ejemplo, comparó la incredulidad de su época con la de Sodoma (Mateo 11: 23-24) y se refirió a la destrucción de dicha ciudad como un hecho verídico (Lucas 17:28-29). Jesús también señaló que la decadencia moral del tiempo del fin sería como en tiempos de Noé (Mateo 24: 37, NVI), confirmando así el relato del diluvio. Cristo también comparó su muerte con la estadía de Jonás en el vientre del pez (Mateo 12: 40-41) y Pablo cita el cruce del mar Rojo y la provisión del maná como un ejemplo para nosotros (1 Corintios 10: 1-6).Ahora bien, la arqueología puede ayudarnos proporcionando evidencia histórica. Por ejemplo, la piedra moabita relata la historia del rey Mesa y sus luchas contra el rey de Israel, suplementando así el relato de 2 Reyes 3. El obelisco negro de Salmanasar III presenta al rey israelita Jehú pagando tributo al monarca asirio (1 Reyes 19: 15, 16). El prisma de Taylor describe el sitio de Jerusalén durante el reinado de Ezequías por parte de Senaquerib y las fuerzas asirias (2 Reyes 19 e Isaías 36 y 37). La estela de Tel Dan conmemora la victoria de un rey arameo sobre los antiguos israelitas. En dicha estela se puede leer claramente la frase casa de David. Por último, en 1961 se descubrió una inscripción que dice: Poncio Pilato, prefecto de Judea y es la primera evidencia fuera de la Biblia sobre la existencia de Pilato, quien juzgó y condenó a Jesús (Mateo 27: 11-26).Aunque no tenemos evidencia de todos los relatos bíblicos, las ciencias auxiliares sugieren que podemos confiar en ellos. Por supuesto, el más importante de estos relatos es el de Jesús, que vino, murió por nosotros, resucitó y muy pronto volverá a buscarnos. 

There are claims - and you hear them every so often - that archeology has disproved this story or that in the bible, and claims from this or that scholar of particularly late dating of different bible books.How do we as evangelical pastors react/respond/answer those claims?Hans Kristensen is senior pastor of Marsfield Community Church in Sydney and is studying ancient archaeology.He suggests that there are 10 major archaelogical finds that help us to increase our confidence in the Old Testament:There's evidence of a big population jump in Caanan at exactly the time that the bible said that Yahweh was giving Israel the land, called the ‘Hill Country Explosion.'The Egyptian Pharaoh Merneptah boasts of raiding the land of Caanan, saying it was occupied by Israel.In the city of Hazor, archaeologists have found religious idols destroyed and other items intact, just as expected from Joshua 11-12The recently discovered altar at Mount Ebal is likely Joshua's altar (Joshua 8)In the Tel Dan inscription we now have archeological evidence for King David's existence.There's consistent architectural town planning in the cities built around the time of David and Solomon - pointing towards planning and control under one ruler (eg a King).There are similarities between what we know of the temple of Solomon and a similar temple built at Ain Dara, about 30 kilometres from Beirut, showing Solomon's temple fits into the religious and architectural landscape of the time.The discovery of six massive chambered gates at Hazor, Meggido and Gezer and other architectural discoveries at those sites corresponds with 1Kings 9:15.A ninth century battle account from King Moab of Mersha mirrors the one in 2 Kings 3.The Biblical chronology of the listed kings matches almost exactly with archeological evidence.Reach Australia National ConferenceReach Australia's National Conference is happening from 19 to 22 May 2025 on the Central Coast of NSW.

ONE OF THE MOST MYSTERIOUS places in Israel is the recently identified Serpent Mound of Bashan. It's three-quarters of a mile long, 20 to 25 feet high, covered with more than 140 megalithic tombs probably more than 5,000 years old, and it's a quarter of a mile from Gilgal Refaim on the Golan Heights. With the release of our book ‘The Gates of Hell' this week, we revisit our discussion of the significance of this and other monuments to the cult of the dead in the ancient kingdom ruled by Og, Bashan—the “Place of the Serpent.”We also visited Tel Dan at the foot of Mount Hermon, where we showed how a misunderstood verse in the Book of Hosea reveals that the golden calves of Jeroboam marked a return to the worship of the entity who was believed to live on the mountain, the Canaanite creator-god El—who, as Derek shows in his book The Second Coming of Saturn, was known to the Hebrews as Molech.And we visit the place where Jesus declared his divinity—literally at the base of Mount Hermon, the Canaanite Olympus, standing in front of the gates of hell.

GTI's resident archaeologist Rich Liverance joins this podcast. The relatively new science of archaeology is a common topic on our biblical study tours. Rich shares from his personal experience at the active digs of Abel Beth Maccah in northern Israel, as well as Tel a Hammam in Jordan (the possible site of Sodom). From roping off a site into 5m squares to finding an iron blade, Rich knows what a day on a dig is like! He also reminds us that the Bible interprets the Bible. Archaeology CONFIRMS the Bible, as well as give material culture to the text. For example, the 1993 discovery at Tel Dan of a tablet mentioning the "House of David" confirms King David's existence and impact 150 years after his life; the discovery of a wall or some jewelry would illuminate the lifestyle of the people who lived in David's time.For further reading, we recommend  the following resources:The GTI Tours Facebook pageBiblical Archaeology by Amihai MazarUnder Jerusalem: The Buried History of the World's Most Contested City by Andrew LawlerThe Source by James A.

1 Kings 12:25

1 Kings 12:25

The biblical accounts of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob come alive when we study them in Israel – the very land in which they occurred. When viewing a 4,000-year-old mud brick gate to a city Abraham was said to have visited, we understand how accurate these stories are. Another indication of the trustworthiness of the biblical accounts is found in their raw honesty. The stories of the patriarchs have not been white washed nor do they try to cover up mistakes or failures. They are true and we can find great encouragement from them. 

Będę dzisiaj mówić o królach Damaszku, czyli królach Syrii. Należy jednak pamiętać, że ten teren był też nazywany królestwem aramejskim, a jego mieszkańcy Aramejczykami. Tak więc Syryjczycy i Aramejczycy to ten sam lud. Z tym ludem wiąże się oczywiście język aramejski. Był to w okresie starotestamentowym język międzynarodowy. Cztery razy ten język jest wspomniany w Biblii. Także cztery fragmenty Biblii są spisane po aramejsku. Język aramejski nazywano też chaldejskim. Był on tak powszechny, że niektórzy bibliści skłaniają się ku twierdzeniu, że Jezus posługiwał się właśnie aramejskim. Ten język był spokrewniony z językiem hebrajskim. Być może kiedyś nagram osobny odcinek poświęcony Syrii oraz językowi aramejskiemu. Dziś jednak skupimy się na jednym królu.Chazaela poznajemy pierwszy raz jak przychodzi do proroka Bożego. W 2 Królów 8:9 czytamy: "Chazael wyszedł więc na jego spotkanie (...) A gdy przyszedł do niego i stanął przed nim, rzekł: Twój syn Ben-Hadad, król Aramu, wysłał mnie do ciebie z zapytaniem: Czy wyzdrowieję z tej choroby?" Chazael był w tym momencie urzędnikiem króla Aramu czyli króla Syrii. Ciekawe jest jednak to, że król syryjski wysłał swojego urzędnika do proroka hebrajskiego. Prorocy Eliasz i Elizeusz działali na terytorium Izraela czyli północnego królestwa. Mieli oni jednak wpływ także na południowe królestwo Judy oraz znajdująca się na północy Syrię. Już prorok Eliasz dostał trzy zadania. W 1 Królów 19:15-17 czytamy, że Eliasz miał wyznaczyć Elizeusza na proroka, Jehu na króla Izraela, a Chazaela na króla Syrii. Z tych trzech rzeczy Eliasz zrobił tylko jedną. Wybrał Elizeusza na swojego następcę jako proroka. I to właśnie Elizeusz zajął się wyznaczeniem tych dwóch królów.Elizeusz przekazał Jehu, że zostanie królem Izraela, a Chazaelowi, że będzie królem Syrii. W obu wypadkach były to tzw. samospełniające się proroctwa. Chodzi tutaj o to, że człowiek słyszący proroctwo zaczyna działać, a jego działania doprowadzają do spełnienia tego co usłyszał. My dzisiaj zajmiemy się tylko tym co usłyszał i co zrobił Chazael.W 2 Królów 8:10 czytamy: "Elizeusz rzekł do niego: Idź i powiedz mu: Na pewno wyzdrowiejesz, chociaż Pan mi objawił, że na pewno umrze". Jest tu pewna gra słów i niektóre stare rękopisy podają "nie wyzdrowiejesz". Król miał wyzdrowieć ze swojej choroby, ale jednak umrzeć. Chazael dopytywał się o szczegóły. W wersecie 13 Elizeusz dał odpowiedź: "Pan ukazał mi ciebie jako króla nad Aramem". Jak na to zareagował Chazael? Wrócił do króla Syrii Ben-Hadada i go zamordował. W ten sposób sam spełnił to co usłyszał. Czy jednak tylko Biblia o nim wspomina? W 2 Królów 8:13 Chazael dziwi się temu, że ma zostać królem. Mówi, że przecież jest nikim. Nazywa się nawet psem. Pasuje to do tego co zapisali Asyryjczycy. Król Asyrii Salmanasar III opisał Chazaela w swojej kronice jako "człowieka z ludu" dosłownie napisano tam, że Chazael był niczyim synem. Jak już wspomniałem Chazaela wyznaczył na króla Elizeusz, ale zadanie to dostał jeszcze jego poprzednik Eliasz. Co dokładnie miał zrobić?W 1 Królów 19:15 czytamy: “A Pan rzekł do niego: Idź, udaj się w drogę powrotną na pustynię damasceńską, a gdy tam dojdziesz, namaścisz Chazaela na króla nad Aramem”. Eliasz miał namaścić Chazaela. Namaszczenie zwykle odbywało się przy pomocy wylania na głowę olejków. Tutaj jednak do tego nie doszło. Niemniej Chazael został namaszczony czyli pomazany na króla. Co to oznacza? Po hebrajsku słowo pomazaniec brzmi “mesjasz”, a po grecku “chrystus”. Chodziło tutaj o to, jak przekazał prorok, że Chazael został wyznaczony na króla i miał za zadanie gnębić grzeszny Izrael. Nie ma w tym niczego nadzwyczajnego. Późniejsi prorocy także mówili o namaszczonych pogańskich królach. Np. w Księdze Izajasza czytamy, że perski król Cyrus był namaszczony czyli był mesjaszem lub pomazańcem. Też dostał zadanie do wykonania. Jak jednak to namaszczenie odebrał sam Chazael?Na stelli z Tel Dan Chazael mówi o tym jak pokonał armie Izraela i Judy. Mówi tam też, że królem został dzięki bogu Hadadowi. Ten tekst potwierdza dwie rzeczy. Po pierwsze Chazael nie pochodził z królewskiego rodu. Nie został królem po swoim ojcu. Po drugie powołuje się na boską interwencję. Oczywiście nie wymieniono tutaj imienia Boga Izraela tylko Hadada boga Syrii. Trudno jednak aby król Syrii chwalił się przed swoimi poddanymi, że na króla wyznaczył go Bóg sąsiedniego narodu, który właśnie pokonał. Zajmijmy się teraz tymi bitwami.Chazael walczył przeciwko połączonym siłom Izraela i Judy pod Ramot-Gilead. W 2 Królów 8:28 czytamy o królu Judy Achazjaszu: "Wyruszył on z Joramem, synem Achaba, na wojnę z Chazaelem, królem Aramu, pod Ramot Gileadzkie, lecz Aramejczycy zranili Jorama". W tym okresie władcy Izraela i Judy byli spokrewnieni. Mówiłem o tym w odcinkach 20 i 21. Tamte odcinki poświęciłem Jezebel i Atalii. Joram, król Izraela był synem Achaba. Jego siostra Atalia została żoną króla Judy i teraz królem Judy był jej syn Achazjasz. Tak więc pod Ramot-Gilead Achazjasz, król Judy pomagał swojemu wujkowi Joramowi, królowi Izraela. Jak się skończyła ta bitwa? W 2 Królów 8:28 czytaliśmy, że "Aramejczycy zranili Jorama". Nie wiemy nic więcej. Można chyba jednak przypuścić, że Izraelici i Judejczycy walczyli z Syryjczykami, nazwanymi tutaj Aramejczykami, aż do momentu, gdy król Izraela Jorama został zraniony. Wtedy pewnie się wycofali. Można więc chyba uznać, że bitwę wygrali Syryjczycy, ale nie zniszczyli oni armii Izraela i Judy. Był to jednak dopiero początek. Króla Jorama i jego matkę Jezebel zabił Jehu, który został królem Izraela. Sytuacja była tutaj podoba. To prorok Elizeusz kazał namaścić Jehu, który od razu wyruszył, zabił Jorama i sam został królem. Kiedyś pewnie zrobię odcinek o Jehu, dziś jednak wróćmy do Chazaela. W 2 Królów 10:32 czytamy: "W tym czasie zaczął Pan po kawałku uszczuplać Izraela, mianowicie Chazael zadawał im klęski na całym pograniczu izraelskim". Tak za rządów Chazaela Syria się powiększała, a Izrael malał. Czy ten król Syrii atakował tylko Izrael? W 2 Królów 12:18 czytamy: "W tym czasie nadciągnął Chazael, król Aramu, uderzył na Gat i zdobył je; następnie Chazael zamierzał wyprawić się na Jeruzalem". Tak więc Chazael, król Syrii zdobył miasto Filistynów - Gat oraz ruszył na Jerozolimię. Król Judy Joasz mu jednak zapłacił aby nie oblegał Jerozolimy. Chazael dał się we znaki wszystkim sąsiadom, ale szczególnie Izraelowi. Syria stała się wtedy potężnym państwem i powiększyła swoje terytorium. Król Jehoachaz stał się wręcz wasalem Syrii. W 2 Królów 13:7 czytamy: "Toteż nie pozostało Jehoachazowi więcej ludu zbrojnego jak tylko pięćdziesięciu jezdnych, dziesięć wozów wojennych i dziesięć tysięcy pieszych, wytracił ich bowiem król Aramu i uczynił z nich jakby proch do deptania". Czy to znaczy, że Chazael wygrywał wszystkie bitwy?Zanim Chazael ruszył na Izrael, Filisteę i Judę musiał się zmierzyć z Asryrią. W 841 p.n.e., Salmanasar III, król Asyri zaatakował Syrię i pobił Chazaela w bitwie u podnóża góry Senir. Chazael przegrał wprawdzie tą bitwę, ale potem zamknął się w Damaszku, którego król Asyrii nie mógł już zdobyć. Tak więc mimo przegranej bitwy obronił się przed Asyrią. Ale czy o Hazazelu mówi tylko Biblia? Jakie źródła pozabiblijne wspominają tego króla Syrii?Znaleziono fragment zbroi dla konia. Konkretnie jest to fragment czegoś w rodzaju przyłbicy na głowę konia. Jest tam napisane: “dar od Hadada dla naszego pana Chazaela”. Przypomina to napis na stelli z Tel Dan, która mówiła: “Hadad uczynił mnie królem”. W obu wypadkach mowa jest o królu Chazaelu, który służył bogu o imieniu Hadad. Znaleziono także łóżko z kości słoniowej, na którym było imię Chazael. Mamy więc oprócz opisów biblijnych także zapis asyryjski, który mówi, że było on niczyim synem, zapis na stelli z Tel Dan, gdzie opisano jego podbój Izraela oraz dwie rzeczy, które do niego należały: fragment zbroi dla konia oraz łóżko. Ale co się stało z jego imperium?Po Chazaelu zaczął panować jego syn Ben-Hadad. To może się trochę, mylić, bo Biblia aż trzech królów nazywa imieniem Ben-Hadad. Tak miał na imię król zabity przez Chazaela oraz syn Chazaela, który po nim panował. Historycy ponumerowali tych królów, tak więc panował najpierw Ben-Hadad II. Potem Chazael, a potem syn Chazaela - Ben-Hadad III. Biblia nie podaje tych numerów, a więc ci dwaj królowie mogą się komuś pomieszać. Zamieszania dodaje fakt, że Ben-Hadad I także jest opisany w Biblii i również bez numeru. Wracając do Chazaela, niestety jego syn Ben-Hadad III stracił wszystko co zdobył jego ojciec. Królowie Izraela odbyli wszystkie terytoria zagrabione wcześniej przez Chazaela, ale to już inna historia.Chazael wyszedł więc na jego spotkanie, zabrawszy z sobą jako dar wszelkiego rodzaju cenne towary damasceńskie, załadowane na czterdziestu wielbłądach. A gdy przyszedł do niego i stanął przed nim, rzekł: Twój syn Ben-Hadad, król Aramu, wysłał mnie do ciebie z zapytaniem: Czy wyzdrowieję z tej choroby?http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Krolewska/8/9Chazael odpowiedział: Czymże jest twój sługa, który wszak jest tylko psem, że miałby dokonać tej okropnej rzeczy? Elizeusz zaś na to: Pan ukazał mi ciebie jako króla nad Aramem.http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Krolewska/8/13A Pan rzekł do niego: Idź, udaj się w drogę powrotną na pustynię damasceńską, a gdy tam dojdziesz, namaścisz Chazaela na króla nad Aramem.http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Krolewska/19/15

ONE OF THE MOST MYSTERIOUS places in Israel is the recently recognized Serpent Mound of Bashan. It's three-quarters of a mile long, 20 to 25 feet high, covered with more than 140 megalithic tombs probably more than 5,000 years old, and it's a quarter of a mile from Gilgal Refaim on the Golan Heights. We discuss the significance of this monument to the cult of the dead and speculate on whether this is why the ancient kingdom of King Og was called Bashan—the “Place of the Serpent.” We also visited Tel Dan at the foot of Mount Hermon, where we showed how a misunderstood verse in the Book of Hosea reveals that the golden calves of Jeroboam marked a return to the worship of the entity who was believed to live on the mountain, the Canaanite creator-god El—who, as Derek shows in his book The Second Coming of Saturn, was known to the Hebrews as Molech. Israel is open for tourists again! For details on our Israel Tour March 19-30, 2023, visit www.gilberthouse.org/travel.

In the most northern part of historic Palestine is an archaeological site, now within a National Park, that has remains of the Bronze Age city of Laish and of the iron age city of Dan. In Arabic the location is called Tel el Qadi, the hill of the judge.This archaeological site has two very impressive city gates that were excavated. The Bronze Age gate was built by the Canaanites who called their city Laish. They built a mud brick gate with pointed arches, the oldest one found in the region (18th Century BC). The city was conquered by the Israelites who built new walls and new gates. The iron age gate that was excavated is built of local basalt blocks and has four chambers. At the gate they found a platform with stones in which sticks could be placed to hold up a canopy to create shade for the judge (hence the hill of the judge). It is also the site where the Israelite King Jeroboam set up a high altar with a golden calf where the Jewish people could worship their God Yahweh instead of going to Jerusalem in the south. The sacrificial area that the excavators found is thought by some scholars to be that place. The excavations are found in the Tel Dan National Park. Through this National Park the Dan stream flows down towards the Jordan river. The other contributors to the Jordan river are the Hasbani river and the Banias river.

Wykład dr. hab. Łukasza Niesiołowskiego-Spano, Kawiarnia Naukowa Festiwalu Nauki [17 października 2016 r.] Królestwo Dawida rozciągało się na rozległych terenach od Egiptu po Damaszek. W ten sposób opisuje je Biblia. Porównanie biblijnego przekazu z innymi tekstami źródłowymi oraz wynikami badań archeologicznych podważa jednak obraz przedstawiony w Starym Testamencie. Jeśli państwo Dawida faktycznie istniało, to zajmowało niewielki obszar i przypominało swoim charakterem tereny Kozaczyzny – mówił dr hab. Łukasz Niesiołowski-Spano, który był gościem Kawiarni Naukowej Festiwalu Nauki. Według chronologii biblijnej Dawid miał panować około roku 1000 p.n.e. Data nie jest dokładnie znana. Jak mówił historyk, pozabiblijne listy władców panujących w Izraelu i Judzie dostępne są dopiero dla czasów odpowiednio od początku IX oraz przełomu VIII i VII w. p.n.e. Przekaz biblijny można więc przyjąć jedynie w tym przypadku za dobrą monetę. Osoby próbujące udowadniać na gruncie naukowym istnienie królestwa Dawida odwołują się do odkryć archeologicznych. Jednym z nich jest stela z Tel Dan powstała w 2 poł. IX w. p.n.e. , którą wystawił prawdopodobnie Chazael, król Damaszku, podczas z jednej z kampanii przeciwko Izraelowi. Aramejska inskrypcja mówi o Dawidzie, założycielu dynastii panującej w Izraelu. Jak mówił dr hab. Niesiołowski-Spano, jest to jedyne znane źródło pozabiblijne wymieniające imię Dawida. Określenie go mianem założyciela dynastii nie jest jednak równoznaczne z potwierdzeniem, że był ona postacią historyczną. Podobnie jak legendarny Piast, od którego miała wywodzić się dynastia panująca w średniowiecznej Polsce. Innym odkryciem archeologicznym, do którego odwołują osoby próbujące udowadniać istnienie państwa Dawida, jest struktura schodkowa na terenie Jerozolimy, która miała być według Biblii stolicą dawidowego królestwa. Jest ona różnie datowana – na XIII-XII lub IX w. p.n.e. Nie pokrywa się więc z okresem panowania króla według chronologii biblijnej. Co więcej, jeśli nawet odkrycie pochodziłoby z X w., to ówczesna Jerozolima – jak podkreślił gość Kawiarni – była bardzo małym ośrodkiem, który nie mógłby kontrolować wielkiego państwa. Argumentem używanym na historyczność królestwa Dawida wykorzystywany jest też ostrakon odnaleziony Khirbet Keijafa, datowany na ok. 1050-950 r. p.n.e. Uważa się, że zawiera on rozkaz. Zwolennicy tezy o istnieniu państwa Dawida twierdzą, że to on był jego autorem. Rozkaz miał zostać wysłany z Jerozolimy do jednej z przygranicznych twierdz. Problem w tym – jak mówił historyk – że niedaleko od miejsca odnalezienia ostrakonu znajdowało się największe miasto na terenie ówczesnej Palestyny, filistyńskie Tell es-Safi (Gath). To tam, a nie w malutkiej natenczas Jerozolimie, mogło powstać wymienione pismo. Znaleziska archeologiczne mogą też być użyte jako argument przeciw historyczności królestwa Dawida. Dr hab. Niesiołowski-Spano wskazał na brak znalezisk ceramiki filistyńskiej na terenach na północ od Jerozolimy zamieszkałych przez ludność określaną jako protoizraelska. Zdaniem historyka nie wynika to z pobożności przejawiającej się poprzez odrzucanie wpływów filistyńskich, jak chcą niektórzy, ale z braku istnienia elit, które byłyby świadectwem istnienia tam struktury państwowej. Na potwierdzenie swojej opinii gość Kawiarni odwołał się do opisu wyprawy wojennej egipskiego faraona Szeszonka z 925 r p.n.e. Przemaszerował on przez całe terytorium Palestyny, ale wymienione tereny pominął. Co świadczy, że nie miały one żadnego znaczenia strategicznego. Wyprawa Szeszonka – jak mówił dr hab. Niesiołowski-Spano – przyczyniła się natomiast do poźniejszego powstania królestwa Izraela. Faraon zniszczył bowiem garnizony Filistynów, którzy do tego czasu byli niekwestionowanymi panami Palestyny.

Martin Tanner describes the religious significance of some of the greatest archaeological finds of our time, including the 1st CE crucified man at Givat Hamivtar; 9th century BCE "House of David" inscription at Tel Dan; 3rd century BCE Rosetta Stone; 7th century BCE Ketef Hinnom scrolls; 6th century BCE "Seal of Mulek" and more.   

How can we know God's Word is true? King David’s heart was grieved by the idolatrous practices around him and was longing for the worship of the Living God. This may have been during the time he was living among the Philistines, when King Saul was trying to kill him. He passionately wrote, “I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name. In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. (Psalm 138:1-3 NKJV). Even though the majority of people were worshiping false deities, in the very presence of those idols, David lifted His voice with all his heart and sang praises to the living God. His soul longed for the tabernacle in Shiloh. He declared without shame or embarrassment the goodness and majesty of Almighty God and the truth of His Word. It was through this steadfast dedication to Almighty God and the great confidence in the His Word, that David found strength of soul to stand without compromise. He cried out to God in those times and saw answers to his prayers. These are important lessons for the born again believer today. Living in this idolatrous and hedonistic culture, the soul of a child of God is vexed by the open expression of sexual impurity and nakedness. The spirit is grieved by the love affair with the demonic and the acceptance of Spiritism. How do we stand without compromising our faith and convictions? King David gave assurance that we will find such strength in the Holy Scriptures. God honors His Word above His name. The Psalmist proclaimed, “Forever, O Lord, your Word is settled in Heaven” (Psalm 119:89). “Blessed is the man,” wrote King David, “who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the paths of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:1-2 NKJV). This is Why We Can Trust What the Bible Says The written Word reveals the true identity of the living God to mankind. It is by the principles and precepts of His Word we understand His ways. The Holy Scripture makes known the acceptable way to worship Almighty God; and by it we are taught how to live a righteous and godly life. The Holy Bible was written by God, infallible and inerrant. He chose to have men pen and publish His Word so all of mankind, in all ages, and in all nations, may have His Word. No human has the right or the authority to alter His Word. It is the Word of God and no one, regardless of their education, knowledge, or expertise has been given the permission to rewrite, add to, or take away from the Holy Scriptures. God alone holds such authority. He writes Holy Scripture and He has not given permission to any man, angel or spirit to add to it or to take from it. It is quite the opposite. “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar” (Proverbs 30:5-6 NKJV). “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book” (Revelation 22:18-19 NKJV). Even if an angel gives a revelation or a spirit gives a vision or dream, they are not Holy Scripture. Such revelation should not be honored or revered as equal to Holy Scripture. Translating the Scripture from the original text into a current language or for a people group, while carefully maintaining accurate word for word meaning, is absolutely necessary. That is quite different from when mankind takes it upon Himself to make the Word of God more relevant; historically accurate; or generationally updated. Truth will always be distorted by such steps. The most expert in the field is viewing and editing the eternal Word of God with a finite mind, a sin nature, and a proud self-will. The best he will ever do is “know in part” linguistic forms, historical data, cultural details, and archaeological facts. Yet, they hold themselves out as capable of judging where a portion of Holy Scripture is divinely inspired and that part is suspect? Would they judge God’s knowledge and writing? For centuries, it was believed by higher critics that King David was a myth, equal to King Arthur, because there was no historical or archaeological documentation, other than Holy Scripture. Then a marvelous discovery was made at Tel Dan in 1993 during an excavation led by Avraham Biran. An inscription on a fragmented shard from the 9th Century BCE commemorates the victory of an Aramean king over two southern kingdoms, “the king of Israel” and “the king of the House of David.” Clearly, this is a reference to the divided kingdom of Israel. Most scholars believe the inscription is a commemoration of Hazael of Damascus when he defeated Jehoram of Israel and Ahaziah of Judah. This means the Bible is true, right? No! The Bible was true all along. If the church fully embraced the higher critics, the story of David and Goliath and all the other lessons from the life of King David were discarded as myth; though they were absolutely true! What is being corrected, edited, rewritten, or completely discounted in the Holy Scriptures by those inside the Evangelical Pentecostal movements, today? Church, do not be disillusioned or deceived. We must fully embrace God has given to us His Word. We can trust it. It is our book of hope. It is a full revelation of God and our instruction for life. God’s word is established forever!

I (Paul) was way off on Sargon II: He was an Assyrian king of whom evidence was found in a tomb in 1843 in Khorsabad, Iraq. The evidence for David was a little off too: the House of David Inscriptions were found in 1993-1994 in Tel Dan, Israel.

Under the house of Jehu, the northern kingdom of Israel is assailed by the big bully Assyria and the little bully Aram-Damascus. I follow Jehu's dynasty for 90 years, through the reigns of Jehoahaz and Joash to Jeroboam II. The famous Tel Dan stele has a lot to say about that. The kings of Judah get a big helping hand from the Assyrians in their squabbles against Israel. Meanwhile, in Israel, Athaliah, only queen regnant of a Hebrew kingdom, gets killed by the patriarchy. The priests destroy their own puppet King Jehoash when he stops the gravy train. But his son Amaziah gets his revenge.

The policies of King Solomon's idiot son Rehoboam split the united kingdom in two: Israel and Judah. The fracture was permanent. I introduce the Biblical sources we have for this period, Kings and Chronicles and a few prophets; and the Assyrian and Babylonian records. I also introduce the archaeological evidence we have (such as the Moabite stone, the black obelisk of Shalmaneser III, and the Tel Dan stele), and the very difficult chronological problems. What would we know about the Hebrew kingdoms without the Bible? Not much.
