A History of Hebrew: Introduction

Let’s take the concepts of the past and the future to demonstrate how important it is to recognize that Biblical concepts are sometimes the opposite of our own. We perceive of the past as behind us and the future as before us. The Hebrew word for the past is temul and the word for the future is mahher. Temul means “in front” while mahher means “behind” And therefore in Hebraic thought the past is in front of you and the future is behind you.

Malcolm Gladwell: The unheard story of David and Goliath

It’s a classic underdog tale: David, a young shepherd armed only with a sling, beats Goliath, the mighty warrior. The story has transcended its biblical origins to become a common shorthand for unlikely victory. But, asks Malcolm Gladwell, is that really what the David and Goliath story is about?

The Fossil Record: Proof of Noah’s Flood or Evolution

Sixteen (16) minutes of convincing evidence that the Fossil Record supports the year-long Genesis Flood describes in Genesis 6-9. The geologic column is filled with fossils. Does the fossil record provide evidence of Noah’s Flood, or evolution over “millions of years”?

What If You Damaged Something in a Museum by Accident?

Have you ever visited a museum and noticed that there doesn’t seem to be very much separating the public from the precious art or artifacts on display? Often, it’s nothing more than a velvet rope, and sometimes even less. What would happen if you tripped and stumbled right into a shelf of priceless Etruscan urns?

Well, they would obviously break, but what happens to you after picking the shards of three-thousand-year-old ceramic out of your hair? In 2010, a young woman was attending a class at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City when she tripped and accidentally punched a hole in a piece of priceless artwork. The painting in question was Picasso’s “The Actor,” and was valued at 130 million dollars right until the unnamed student opened a six-inch gash in the canvas…

A new Beginning for the Middle East: The Cyrus Cylinder and Ancient Persia

The Cyrus Cylinder is one of the most famous objects to have survived from the ancient world. It was inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform on the orders of Persian King Cyrus the Great (559-530 BC) after he captured Babylon in 539 BC.

The cylinder is often referred to as the first bill of human rights as it appears to encourage freedom of worship throughout the Persian Empire and to allow deported people to return to their homelands. It was found in Babylon in modern Iraq in 1879 during a British Museum excavation.

The Privileged Planet

THE PRIVILEGED PLANET, utilizing stunning computer animation, interviews with leading scientists, and spectacular images of Earth and the cosmos, explores a startling connection between our capacity to survive and our ability to observe and understand the universe. Is this correlation merely a coincidence? Or does it point to a deeper truth about purpose and intelligent design within the cosmos? THE PRIVILEGED PLANET is based on the book with the same title by Jay Richards and Guillermo Gonzalez. Production began in October 2002 and was completed in June 2004. The documentary presents the Richards/Gonzalez hypothesis that the Earth was designed to both sustain complex life and enable scientific discovery.

Sennacherib King of Assyria, Siege of Lachish and Jerusalem 2 Kings 13

2 Kings and Isaiah mention the story of the Assyrian King Sennacherib who conquers Lachish and surrounds Jerusalem, taking money and yet failing to finish the siege after an abnormal disaster in their camp. Extra-Biblical evidence tells the same strange story.

Seals for Gemariah, Gedaliah & More

There are too many seals, bulla and ostraca in the ground attesting to Biblical places and characters to go over in detail. Here is a small sampling of a few others not yet covered in this series.

The Mesha Stele/Moabite Stone – 2 Kings 3

The Mesha Stele is significant because it seems to corroborate the 2 Kings 3 account of Moab’s rebellion against Israel. It is also noteworthy for its mention of “Israel,” “David,” and “YHWH.” These are ancient witnesses to Israel’s presence in the area and may be the earliest extra-biblical reference to the Tetragrammaton.

King Jehu & The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III

Shalmaneser III kept royal records that include King Jehu from Israel. He is shown to be offering tribute as a subject. This makes sense since the Bible claims that Israel had trouble defeating Aram in battle.

Jerusalem – Archeological Findings and the Name of God YHWH

What came to be known as the Ketef Hinnom Silver Scrolls were found in 1979 at an archaeological site southwest of the Old City of Jerusalem. One source states that this find (in terms of biblical studies) is “one of most significant discoveries ever made . . . [and the scrolls] preserve the earliest known citations of texts also found in the Hebrew Bible and … the earliest examples of confessional statements concerning Yahweh [Jehovah].”

Haʹzor, Me·gidʹdo, and Geʹzer.” This video highlights the archaeological evidence found with the discovery of the 6-chambered gates at Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer.
