There have been several huge archaeological finds in recent years which have confirmed Biblical accounts from thousands of years ago, which were written down in the “Old Testament”. A whole of lot these finds are chronicled in the huge volume of written and video work of theBiblical Archaeological Society (BAS). They included the over 2000 year old Dead Sea Scrolls, which confirmed the Book of Isaiah. Herod’s Fort is still around and so many other finds like King David’s palace outside the walls of Jerusalem. Shepherd’s Field in Bethlehem where the angels appeared to poor shepherds and Jesus’ Mount of Transfiguration still exist. There is just too much evidence out there, which a believer can hold on to as MORE proof of our Faith.
There is not just evidence of the authenticity and truth of the Word of God, but evidence of God Himself! Think of all the former atheists who have set out to disprove the existence of God and Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
The Annual National Day of Prayer hits the ground running in the Auditorium of the Illinois Secretary of State Howlett Building this coming Thursday May 4th.
