Historicity of King Hezekiah

King Hezekiah bulla

Posted on December 29, 2022 by David

Categories: Historical Evidence

Confirmation of the existence of the ancient Biblical King Hezekiah has been found.  This discovery has been called “one of the most important archaeological discoveries in Israel of all time.” This discovery shows five monumental, new royal inscriptions describing King Hezekiah of Judah, which include dozens of lines and hundreds of letters.  These inscriptions have now been deciphered. King Hezekiah Inscriptions Gershon Galil, a former chairman of the University of Haifa, said the inscriptions mention the name of Hezekiah and document some of the major events during the first seventeen years of his reign.  These events include the water project… Read More »

Secular Eyewitnesses to Christ

Jerusalem

Posted on December 26, 2022 by David

Categories: Archaeology, Biblical History, Biblical Names, Historical Evidence

Tags: Historical Evidence

I have discussed several ancient secular eyewitnesses to Christ in another post evaluating the historicity of Scripture from a broad perspective.  In this article, I am going to concentrate on the evidence substantiating the historicity of Christ. The historicity of Christ is, after all the most important question that must be answered regarding all of Scripture. As Paul said, if the Resurrection of Christ did not happen, then Christians are deluded and, above all, to be pitied.  If Christ did not exist, then neither did the Resurrection. I will only evaluate secular, extra-Biblical sources for the historicity of Christ to avoid… Read More »

The Time of Christ’s First Coming

The Tomb of Daniel is located in Iran but is also venerated by Muslims.

Posted on December 14, 2022 by David

Categories: Uncategorized

The time of Christ’s first coming to the day was predicted centuries before.  That is quite a statement, and yet it is true. First-century Jews were looking for the Messiah who would fulfill all the prophecies from the Old Testament.  They knew the time was near when he had to appear.  But how did they know this? Daniel and his Most Famous Prophesy Daniel was a young man carried off to Babylon in 586 BC when King Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem.  Daniel was a very righteous man and received a revelation concerning the timing of the Messiah’s coming.  This is very… Read More »

Christ Types

Posted on December 12, 2022 by David

Categories: Historical Evidence

Christ Types and Ancient Old Testament Figures The previous blog post showed how Christ demonstrates the characteristics of many mythical deities of multiple civilizations.  While the characteristics of mythical deities are often fanciful and not meant to be historical, those of Christ are what might be expected from a historical figure. This short post shows how many ancient historical figures were actual “types” of Christ.  That is, these historical figures illustrate many of the characteristics of Christ and are a foreshadowing. The following figures are contained within the Old Testament.  The books which contain the stories of these ancient figures… Read More »

The Reasons for Faith

Christian faith is not based upon unfounded hope.  It offers the best explanation for the world we see today and the solution for an unfulfilled life.

Christians are better educated, more wealthy, happier, and contribute more to society than any other group.

Christianity is affirmed by science, history, cosmology, probability and statistics, linguistics, archaeology, and logical evidence.
