Critics Of Bible Silenced
Once Again:
Archaeological
Discoveries Prove Old
Testament To Be
Accurate For many years, the critics of
the Old Testament continued
to argue that Moses invented
the stories found in Genesis.
The critics contended that the
ancient people of the Old Testament times were too
primitive to record documents
with precise details. In doing so, these critics
basically claimed that there
was no verification that the
people and cities mentioned in
the oldest of Biblical accounts
ever really existed. The discovery of the Ebla
archive in northern Syria in the
1970′s confirmed that the
Biblical records concerning the
Patriarchs are spot on. It was
during the excavations in northern Syria that the
excavating found a large
library inside a royal archive
room. This library had tablets
dating from 2400 -2300 BC. Also Read: The Bible Acknowledged Right As A Snake Fossil With 4 Legs Discovered The excavating team
discovered almost 15,000
ancient tablets and fragments
which when joined together
accounted for about 2,500
tablets. Amazingly, these tablets confirmed that personal
and location titles in the
Biblical Patriarchal accounts are
authentic. These tablets are
known as the Ebla Tablets. For a long period of time, the
critics of the Old Testament
used to argue that the name
‘Canaan’ was used wrongly in
the early chapters of the Bible.
They claimed the name Canaan was never used at that specific
time in history. They further
accused that the name was
inserted in the Old Testament
afterwards, while the earliest
books of The Holy Bible were not written in the times that
are described. However, with the discovery
of the tablets from the
northern Syria, the word the
word “Canaan” does appear,
contrary to the claims of the
critics. The tablets proved that the term was actually used in
ancient Syria during the time in
which the Old Testament was
written. Additionally, the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah were
also thought to be pure fiction
by Bible critics. These cities are
also identified in the Ebla
tablets, in addition to the city of Haran. Haran is described in
Genesis as the city of Abram’s
father, Terah. Previous to this
discovery, ‘scholars’ suspected
the actual presence of the
ancient city. In addition to this, countless
other archaeological findings
confirm the Biblical records to
be real and accurate. Some of
these findings are listed below: •The campaign into Israel by
Pharaoh Shishak (1 Kings
14:25-26) is recorded on the
walls of the Temple of Amun in
Thebes, Egypt.
•The revolt of Moab against Israel (2 Kings 1:1; 3:4-27) is
recorded on the Mesha
Inscription.
•The fall of Samaria (2 Kings
17:3-6, 24; 18:9-11) to Sargon
II, king of Assyria, is recorded on his palace walls.
•The defeat of Ashdod by
Sargon II (Isaiah 20:1) is
recorded on his palace walls.
•The campaign of the Assyrian
king Sennacherib against Judah (2 Kings 18:13-16) is recorded
on the Taylor Prism.
•The siege of Lachish by
Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:14, 17)
is recorded on the Lachish
reliefs. •The assassination of
Sennacherib by his own sons (2
Kings 19:37) is recorded in the
annals of his son Esarhaddon.
•The fall of Nineveh as
predicted by the prophets Nahum and Zephaniah (2 Kings
2:13-15) is recorded on the
Tablet of Nabopolasar.
•The fall of Jerusalem to
Nebuchadnezzar, king of
Babylon (2 Kings 24:10-14) is recorded in the Babylonian
Chronicles.
•The captivity of Jehoiachin,
king of Judah, in Babylon (2
Kings 24:15-16) is recorded on
the Babylonian Ration Records. •The fall of Babylon to the
Medes and Persians (Daniel
5:30-31) is recorded on the
Cyrus Cylinder.
•The freeing of captives in
Babylon by Cyrus the Great (Ezra 1:1-4; 6:3-4) is recorded
on the Cyrus Cylinder.
