How in the world did I miss the fact that archeologists who were looking for ancient ships and artifacts from the stone age in the Red Sea found stacks of human bones--and identified them as an army from the period during which Moses and the Israelites were escaping Egypt and the Pharaoh.  Armor, chariots and hundreds of bodies.

I try to keep current with this kind of stuff.  I love it when archeologists corroborate the truth of the Bible.  I love it that many of them keep an Old testament in their hip pockets.  The record of the Jews is the most comprehensive historical record of a people that the world has.

I have never understood why the community of non-believers are so eager to say that the cities and kings and wars recorded in the Old Testament aren't true.  Over and over again every year, archaeologists have dug up validating evidence of the events recorded in the Bible.  You would think that the events of the Bible would eventually get through to non-believers that the writers from the Old Testament did not scheme to write lies and to do it consistently over thousands of years.  There was no conspiracy.  What would have been the point?  They wrote what they knew.  They wrote about their God.  They wrote as God told them to write.

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son..."  Hebrews 1: 1-2a

The Old Testament is the story of God creating man with whom He could fellowship.  And God's plan to restore his creation by sending his Son as the ultimate sacrifice for sin.  Every Old Testament book looks forward to a day when the Messiah would come.  All the prophecies in those books point to Jesus as the Christ.  Those writers could never have come up with over seventy prophecies that ultimately became the truth in one man.  It is statistically impossible

Validating the truth of the Bible is critical.  That is why we must always defend it with truth.
