The more you examine the Bible, the more amazing evidence that you find. The truth is that there is so much evidence for Christianity that it is literally impossible to document it all. In recent years, Bible scholars have been discovering some amazing things about "paleo-Hebrew" - the ancient Hebrew language that was used prior to the Babylonian captivity. In "paleo-Hebrew", each letter was represented by an ideogram. In other words, each letter was also a picture which represented an idea. So in ancient Hebrew when you examine the meaning behind each letter of a particular word it can reveal some very enlightening things.
For example, the name of God in ancient Hebrew actually foreshadows the sacrifice that Yeshua (Jesus) would one day make on the cross. Just check out the following amazing video....
But not only does the name of God in ancient Hebrew contain an amazing prophecy, but the name of Yeshua (Jesus) also contains some truly amazing details....
Isn't all of this amazing?
The truth is that God has revealed the truth about Himself in dozens and dozens of different ways. If people do not want to acknowledge the truth about God it is not because there is not enough evidence, it is because they simply do not want to believe.

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have unearthed a 3,000 year old defensive wall that many believe may have been built by King Solomon. The wall is 230 feet long and is approximately 20 feet tall and it is estimated that it was built in the tenth century B.C. The wall is located between the Temple Mount and the ancient City of David.
The archaeologist in charge of this excavation, Eilat Mazar, believes that the remains that have been discovered are the very first archaeological evidence of a defensive wall that King Solomon built mentioned in the book of I Kings.
In I Kings 3:1, the Scriptures tell us this....
Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt and married his daughter. He brought her to the City of David until he finished building his palace and the temple of the LORD, and the wall around Jerusalem.
The reality is that whether this new discovery is that wall or not, the truth is that archaeology has confirmed the Bible over and over and over. If humanity has enough time left, archaeology will continue to uncover more evidence for Christianity.
Why?
Because the Christian faith is real and the Bible is true.
To learn more about how you can come to know the God of the Bible, we invite you to check out a recent article that we authored entitled "What Does The Bible Say About Salvation?"
Is there evidence that ancient Israelites brought the Ten Commandments to America centuries before Christopher Columbus was even born?
Such a theory is completely impossible, you say?
Perhaps you should not jump to conclusions so quickly!
Did you know that there is a very large stone near Los Lunas, New Mexico, that has the Ten Commandments inscribed on in ancient paleo-Hebrew script?
Did you know that most scholars who have studied the stone believe that the inscription on the stone was there long before Columbus came to America?
Most Christians have never even heard of this ancient inscription. If you are curious, watch the following YouTube video which we produced and find out the shocking truth:
The Ebla Tablets were originally discovered in northern Syria by two professors from the University of Rome, Dr. Paolo Matthiae and Dr. Giovanni Petinato. Since 1974, 17,000 priceless tablets have been found from the time of the ancient Ebla Kingdom.
The Ebla tablets appear to have been written during the two last generations of the city, which would mean they come from some time around 2300 B.C.
But the remarkable thing about the Ebla tablets is not how old they are, but rather the similarities to the Scriptures that they contain.
Many Old Testament names that have not been found in other Near Eastern languages have been reported to occur in similar forms in Eblaite (one of the two languages found on the tablets).
Adam, Eve, Abarama/Abraham, Bilhah, Ishmael, Esau, Mika-el, Saul and David are just some of the Biblical names that have been found on the tablets. Not that the tablets are referring to those specific people - just that it shows that those names were commonly used in ancient times.
In addition, a substantial number of ancient Biblical cities are also mentioned in the tablets.
For example Ashtaroth, Sinai, Jerusalem, Hazor, Lachish, Megiddo, Gaza, Joppa, Ur, and Damascus are apparently mentioned in the tablets.
Giovanni Pettinato also found references to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
There was also one key discovery in the tablets that relates to Genesis 14. Skeptics have claimed that the victory of Abraham over Chedorlaomer and the Mesopotamian kings is made up and that the five "cities of the plain" (Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar) are legendary.
But as usual the skeptics are wrong.
The Ebla tablets refer to all five of the cities of the plain and on one tablet the cities are listed in the exact same sequence as we find in Genesis 14.
One of the most stunning discoveries of all, however, was when a "creation hymn" was found among the tablets.
Three versions of this Eblaite "creation hymn" were found. The creation hymn was translated by Pettinato as follows:
Lord of heaven and earth: the earth was not, you created it, the light of day was not, you created it, the morning light you had not [yet] made exist.
Even in the midst of such a pagan culture, an ancient hymn about a "Lord of heaven and earth" who created the earth was able to survive.
Absolutely stunning.
Let us pray that even more incredible discoveries will come out of the Middle East, because with each new discovery the accuracy of the Scriptures is further validated.
Most Christians do not know that giants once walked the earth.
A lot of Christians do not even know that the Bible talks about giants.
But it does.
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." -Genesis 6:4
So who were these giants and where did they come from?
The following is a great article which discusses this issue.....
Did you realize that the Great Pyramid of Giza is a huge prophecy in stone about the Lord Jesus Christ?
It sounds incredible, but it is true.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the most extraordinary structures every constructed. It has been studied for centuries, and countless numbers of people have attempted to unlock the mysteries it holds.
What most people do not realize is that the Great Pyramid contains a prophecy.....a prophecy for exactly when Jesus would die on the cross for our sins.
For more information on the Great Pyramid, and the extraordinary information it contains and the amazing mathematical knowledge reflected in the design of the structure, check out these sites:
The picture to the left is of a 4-spoked Egyptian chariot wheel that was found on the Red Sea seabed in 1998.
The discovery of Egyptian chariot wheels on the bottom of the Gulf of Aqaba is incredibly strong evidence that the Exodus that the Bible describes really happened.
Below is an article with a lot more pictures of chariot wheels on the bottom of the Red Sea:
The human footprint in the photo below was impressed into allegedly "110 million year old" limestone rock and was discovered in Glen Rose, Texas.
Analysis of the footprint suggests that it is a woman's bare footprint and would correspond to a size 22EEEE men's shoe today.
Scientific analysis after cross sectioning the stone with a diamond saw proves that the print was made by pressure, and therefore it is genuine and was not carved.
So the mystery remains.
Just how did the gigantic footprint of a human woman get into "110 million year old" rock?
Have you ever seen an evolutionist so stunned that they are at a loss for words?
The picture below comes to us from http://evolution-facts.org/ and it shows something that Darwinists cannot explain.
The hammer in the picture is called the London Artifact, and it is an iron hammer surrounded by a solid mass of "cretaceous" rock.
So what in the world is a hammer doing in "cretaceous" rock?
According to evolutionists, that would be simply impossible.
The handle of the hammer in the picture was partially PETRIFIED.
A test was done on the metal in the hammer. The hammer contains 96% iron, 2.6% chlorine, and 0.74% sulfur. There are no bubbles in the metal at all. Yes, the hammer is most definitely made of iron. The quality of the iron equals or exceeds the quality of any iron found in today's world.
So ask an evolutionist about this picture.....and watch them squirm.
One of the goals of this blog is to uncover many of the historical mysteries that may hold unique evidence regarding the Christian faith.
And it is one of those mysteries that is addressed in the video posted below.
Did anyone ever teach you that there is a huge stone near Los Lunas, New Mexico, that contains an inscription of the Ten Commandments written in ancient paleo-Hebrew script?
Did you know that most scholars who have studied this stone believe that the inscription on the stone was there long before Christopher Columbus ever came to North America?
Watch the video posted below to find out the stunning details of this mystery:
Are you familiar with the mysterious Los Lunas Decalogue Stone?
The Los Lunas Decalogue Stone is a huge flat stone on the side of Hidden Mountain, near Los Lunas, New Mexico, approximately 35 miles south of Albuquerque. The stone has the Ten Commandments inscribed on it in ancient paleo-Hebrew script.
In 1996, Professor James D. Tabor of the University of North Carolina - Charlotte interviewed the late Professor Frank Hibben (1910-2002), a retired University of New Mexico archaeologist, "who is convinced that the inscription is ancient and thus authentic. He reports that he first saw the text in 1933. At the time it was covered with lichen and patination and was hardly visible. He was taken to the site by a guide who had seen it as a boy, back in the 1880s."
The scholars who have studied this mysterious stone date it anywhere from 500 years old to 3000 years old. That almost assuredly means that the stone pre-dates the arrival of Christopher Columbus to America.
So how is it possible that a copy of the 10 Commandments in the ancient Hebrew language get to North America before Christopher Columbus arrived?
Perhaps the key to this mystery is in studying the Phoenicians.
The “Phoenicians” were THE great seafaring people of the ancient world. Most scholars agree they were originally from the coastal areas of Israel and Lebanon, but they founded a vast array of settlements all around the Mediterranean during the course of their travels. In fact, the great ancient city of Carthage was founded by the Phoenicians. It is historically documented that the Phoenicians got as far as Spain, and many scholars believe that the Phoenicians eventually were able to cross the Atlantic and arrive in North America. If any ancient culture would have been able to cross the Atlantic ocean, it would have been the great seafaring Phoenician people.
So, you may ask, exactly who were the Phoenicians? The Greek historian Herodotus (484-425 A.D.) referred to the Israelites as the “Phoenicians”. It is also a fact that the ancient Hebrew language and the ancient Phoenician language are virtually identical. In addition, if you look at many maps of the ancient middle east, you will see that the great ancient Phoenician cities of Tyre and Sidon were situated just north of ancient Israel.
Throughout the "Old Testament", the Scriptures speak continually of cooperation between Israel and the cities of Tyre and Sidon. In fact, there is so much there that it would take another full article just to document the scriptural references.
And did you know that the Phoenicians also founded the Etruscan civilization in Italy? Scholars have found that some of those "Phoenicians" actually brought the worship of the Lord with them:
Early 19th century noted antiquarian scholar, Sir William Betham, studied the Celtic origins of Europe, and his studies of early Italy were published in a two-volume work, "Etruria Celtica." Betham reproduced ancient coins from the kingdom of Utruria, in Italy, known as the Etruscan civilization. Interestingly, several of the Utrurian coins discovered were minted in honor of their deity, which was none other than Yahweh, God of the Hebrews!
----
So just how did the 10 Commandments inscribed in the ancient Hebrew language show up in New Mexico? Nobody knows the answer for certain. But it seems that the most reasonable answer is to say that the greatest seafaring people by far of the ancient world, the "Phoenicians", came to North America and brought the covenant of their God with them.

Today atheists, skeptics and opponents of Christianity believe that they have the intellectual high ground when it comes to matters of logic, reason, science and faith. The reality is that the exact opposite is true, but our churches are doing a miserable job of equipping us to defend the faith. Hopefully blogs such as this will change all that.
