10 BIBLICAL events proven BY SCIENCE the last one will surprise you · truthunedited

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: For centuries, critics called the Bible a myth. They said
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: King David never existed. They said Sodom was a fairy tale.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: They said there was no proof that Jesus was ever crucified.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: They were wrong. In this video, I'm going to show
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you 10 biblical events that science has already confirmed. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the last one. It will change how you see everything.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: But before we begin, If you love exploring the mysteries
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: hidden in Scripture, subscribe and join this community. Let's dive in.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Event 1. King David. Existed. The story of King David
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: is one of the most celebrated in all of Scripture.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: A shepherd boy who defeated a giant. A poet who
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: wrote the Psalms. A warrior who united Israel into a kingdom.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: His story spans the books of 1 and 2 Samuel.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and his legacy echoes throughout the entire Bible. But for
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: much of the 20th century, critical scholars dismissed David as
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a legend. They argued that there was no evidence outside
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the Bible that such a king ever existed. Some went further,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: suggesting that David was a mythological figure invented centuries later
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to give Israel a heroic origin story. That skepticism ended
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in 1993. In the summer of that year, archaeologist Avraham
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Biran was excavating a Tel Dan in northern Israel when
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: his team discovered fragments of a broken stone monument. When
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the pieces were assembled, the inscription sent shockwaves through the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: academic world. Carved into the basalt stone were the words,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: HOUSE OF DAVID. This was the first reference to King
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: David ever found outside the Bible. The inscription dated to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the 9th century BC, written by an enemy king boasting
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of his military victories against Israel. Without intending to, he
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: confirmed that David's dynasty was real and that his royal
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: house was known throughout the ancient world. The Tel Dan Stele,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: as it is now called, is displayed at the Israel
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Museum in Jerusalem. The mythical king was real. His dynasty
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: left its mark in stone. Event 2. The destruction of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis chapter 19 records one of the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: most dramatic judgments in the Bible. The cities of Sodom
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and Gomorrah, located somewhere near the Dead Sea, were destroyed
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: by fire and brimstone from heaven. Abraham watched from a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: distance as smoke rose from the plain like smoke from
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a furnace. For centuries, many scholars considered this account to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: be a moral parable, a story invented to warn against wickedness.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: No archaeological evidence had ever been found as what the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: existence of these cities or their sudden destruction. That changed
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in 2021. A team of researchers published their findings in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the journal Scientific Reports. They had been studying a site
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: called Tal el-Hammam, located in the Jordan Valley near the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Dead Sea. What they found was extraordinary. The evidence showed
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that around 1650 BC, the city was destroyed in a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: single catastrophic moment. Temperatures exceeded 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to melt pottery into glass. Human bones showed signs of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: instant incineration. The destruction was so intense that the top
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: 40 feet of the city was completely stripped away. The
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: scientists determined that that the cause was a cosmic airburst,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: an asteroid or comet fragment exploding in the atmosphere with
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the force of a thousand Hiroshima's. The blast would have
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: killed everyone in the city instantly. Salt crystals were found
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: throughout the debris, indicating that the explosion scattered the salts
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of the nearby Dead Sea across the landscape. The region
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: remained uninhabited for over 600 years. The soil was so
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: contaminated that nothing could grow. An ancient city destroyed by
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: fire from the sky, leaving behind a wasteland of salt.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Whether or not this is the biblical Sodom, the evidence
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: proves such sudden catastrophic destruction from the heavens was real.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And the parallels to Genesis are striking. Event 3. Hezekiah's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Tunnel But the next discovery isn't hiding in a museum.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you can still walk through it today. In the book
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of 2 Kings 20, the Bible records an engineering project
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: undertaken by King Hezekiah of Judah. Facing the threat of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: an Assyrian invasion, Hezekiah ordered the construction of a tunnel
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to bring water from the Gihon Spring into the city
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of Jerusalem. The text states that he made the pool
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and the conduit and brought water into the city. This
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't just about convenience, it was about survival. If the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Assyrians laid siege to Jerusalem, the city would need a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: secure water supply hidden from enemy eyes. The tunnel was
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: rediscovered in 1838, and what archaeologists found confirmed the biblical
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: account in stunning detail. The tunnel stretches 1,750 feet through
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: solid rock beneath Jerusalem. It connects the Gihon Spring to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the Pool of Siloam. And here's the remarkable part. An
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: ancient Hebrew inscription was found inside the tunnel describing how
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it was built. The inscription tells the story of two
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: teams of workers digging from opposite ends. They could hear
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: each other's picks through the rock, adjusting their course until
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: they finally met in the middle. The moment of breakthrough
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is described with an almost celebratory tone, This was an
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: engineering marvel, carved through solid limestone, without modern tools, without
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: precise surveying equipment. And yet, they succeeded. The tunnel dates
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to the 8th century BC, precisely the time the Bible
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: places Hezekiah's reign. A king mentioned in scripture left behind
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a tunnel you can still walk through today. Event 4.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: The Hittites Existed Throughout the Old Testament, a people called
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the Hittites appear again and again. Abraham bought a burial
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: cave from Hittite landowners. David had Hittite warriors in his army.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Solomon traded with Hittite kings. Altogether, the Hittites are mentioned
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: 47 times in Scripture. But for 19th century scholars, there
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was a problem. No archaeological evidence of the Hittites had
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: ever been found. No cities. No records. no artifacts. Critics
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: concluded that the biblical writers had invented this people group,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: perhaps borrowing the name from some obscure tribe to add
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: color to their narratives. This skepticism continued until 1906. That year,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: German archaeologist Hugo Winkler began excavating a site called Hattusa
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in central Turkey. What he uncovered would rewrite the history
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: books and Hattusa was the capital of a vast empire
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that rivaled Egypt and Babylon. Over 10,000 cuneiform tablets were recovered,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: containing treaties, laws, religious texts, and royal correspondence. The Hittite Empire,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it turned out, dominated the ancient Near East from approximately
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: 1600 to 1178 BC. This is precisely the period when
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the Bible places them. The Hittites weren't a fictional people
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: invented by Hebrew scribes. They were one of the great
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: powers of the ancient world, and the Bible knew about
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: them when modern scholars did not. A civilization mocked as
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: biblical fiction turned out to be one of the most
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: significant empires in human history. Event 5. The Reality of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Roman Crucifixion All four Gospels describe the crucifixion of Jesus
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in vivid detail. He was nailed to a wooden cross,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: suspended between two criminals, and left to die in public view.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: This method of execution was reserved for the worst offenders,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: designed to be as painful and humiliating as possible. But
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for many years, skeptics pointed out a curious gap in
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the evidence. Despite crucifixion being widely practiced by the Romans,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: no physical proof of the practice had ever been found.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: No bones. No nails. Nothing that proved crucifixion actually happened
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the way the Gospels described it. Then came 1968. Construction
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: workers in Jerusalem accidentally uncovered an ancient burial cave in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a neighborhood called Givat HaMivtar. Inside were several ossuaries, the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: stone boxes used to hold bones after the flesh had decomposed.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: One ossuary belonged to a man named Yehohanan, and in
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: his heel bone, still embedded after 2,000 years, was an
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: iron nail. The nail measured 4.5 inches long. It had
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: been driven through the heel and bent at the tip,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: likely from striking a knot in the wood. Fragments of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: olive wood were still attached. Remnants of the... cross itself.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: This was the first and, to this day, only direct
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: physical evidence of Roman crucifixion ever discovered. The brutality described
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in the Gospels was real. The nails were real. The
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: cross was real. And now... we have the bones to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: prove it. Event 6. Caiaphas the High Priest. In the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Gospel accounts, a man named Caiaphas plays a pivotal role
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in the trial of Jesus. As the High Priest, he
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: presided over the Jewish council that condemned Jesus before handing
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: him to the Romans. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: mention him by name. But like many figures in the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: New Testament, Caiaphas was known only from the biblical text.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: No inscription, no tomb, no physical evidence that such a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: person ever existed. That changed in November 1990. Construction workers
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: building a road in Jerusalem's Peace Forest accidentally broke through
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the ceiling of an ancient burial cave. Archaeologists were called in,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and what they found was remarkable. Inside the cave were
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: 12 ossuaries, but one stood out from the rest. It
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was the most ornately decorated box in the cave, carved
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: with intricate rosette patterns. And on its side was an inscription,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yehoseph bar Kayapha, Joseph, son of Caiaphas. Inside the ossuary
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: were the bones of a man approximately 60 years old.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The time frame matches perfectly with the gospel accounts. The
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ossuary of Caiaphas is now displayed at the Israel Museum
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. The man who handed Jesus over to Pilate
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: left behind his bones. The trial described in Scripture happened.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And now we can touch the evidence. Event 7. Nazareth
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: really existed. The Gospels tell us that Jesus grew up
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: in a small village called Nazareth in the Galilee region.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Matthew and Luke both reference this town, and the title
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Jesus of Nazareth appears throughout the New Testament. But some
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: skeptics questioned whether Nazareth even existed in the first century.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: They argued that the town was invented later or that
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: it was too small and insignificant to have any historical footprint.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: If Jesus' hometown was fictional, they suggested perhaps other details
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: were invented as well. This argument collapsed in 2009. The
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Israel Antiquities Authority announced the discovery of a first century
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: house in Nazareth the first structure from Jesus' era ever
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: found at the site. The excavation was led by archaeologist
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yardena Alexandre. The house was modest, made of simple walls
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: with a drainage system for a courtyard. Inside were pottery fragments,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: chalk vessels, and storage pits, all consistent with a small
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Jewish village in the early 1st century. Additional tombs from
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the same period were discovered nearby, confirming that Nazareth was
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: indeed inhabited during Jesus' childhood. The Gospels describe Jesus as
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: coming from a humble background, from an obscure village few
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: people had heard of. Archaeology confirms exactly that. Nazareth was real, small,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and unremarkable, just as the Bible describes. The hometown of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus was exactly where the Gospels said it was, And
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: now we've walked inside the houses. Event 8. The earthquake
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: at Jesus' death. In Matthew chapter 27 verse 51, the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: gospel records that at the moment Jesus died, the earth
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: shook and the rocks were split. This detail has long
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: been considered a theological symbol, a sign of cosmic significance
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: rather than a literal geological event. But in 2012, a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: study challenged that assumption. Geologist Jefferson Williams, working with Supersonic
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Geophysical and colleagues from the German Research Center for Geosciences,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: examined sediment cores taken from the Dead Sea. These cores
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: act as a geological record, capturing layers of sediment deposited
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: over thousands of years. When earthquakes occur, the sediment layers
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: become disturbed in distinctive patterns called seismites. Williams and his
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: team identified a seismic event recorded in the sediment that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: dated to between 26 and 36 AD, exactly the period
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: during which Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate. The earthquake
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: was estimated at magnitude 5.5 or higher, strong enough to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: shake the region and split rocks, just as Matthew described. Interestingly,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the study also detected a second seismic event around 33 AD,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: which some researchers have connected to the earthquake mentioned in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Matthew 28 at the resurrection. The ground itself recorded these moments.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: When Jesus died, the earth shook, and the sediment beneath
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the Dead Sea still holds the evidence. Event 9. King
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Belshazzar Existed The book of Daniel, chapter 5, tells one
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of the most dramatic stories in the Old Testament. Belshazzar,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the king of Babylon, throws a great feast. During the celebration,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: A mysterious hand appears and writes on the wall, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Up-Hasin.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: That very night, Babylon falls to the Persians, and Belshazzar
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: is killed. For centuries, critics argued that Daniel had made
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a historical error. Ancient records clearly showed that the last
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: king of Babylon was Nabonidus, not Belshazzar. The name Belshazzar
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: appeared nowhere in any known Babylonian document. This apparent mistake
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: was used to question the reliability of the entire book.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Then came the discovery of the Nabonidus Cylinder. This clay cylinder,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: now housed in the British Museum, contains an inscription by
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: King Nabonidus himself. In it, he mentions his firstborn son
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: by name, Belshah Usur, Belshazzar. Further research revealed that Nabarnadus
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: had left Babylon for nearly ten years to live in
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the Arabian desert, leaving his son Belshazzar to rule as
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: co-regent in his place. Suddenly, a puzzling detail in Daniel
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: made perfect sense. When Belshazzar rewards Daniel for interpreting the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: writing on the wall, he offers to make him the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: third highest ruler in the kingdom. Why third? Because Nabonidus
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: was first, Belshazzar was second, and third was the highest
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: position Belshazzar could offer. A detail critics called an error
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: turned out to be evidence of precise insider knowledge of
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Babylonian court politics. Event 10. The Resurrection. The Surprise. For
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: nine events, I've shown you what science and archaeology have confirmed.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Stone inscriptions, sediment layers, bone fragments, burned cities. Each piece
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: of evidence points to the same conclusion. The Bible describes
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: real events that happened in real history. But this final
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: event is different, because this one, science cannot explain. The
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central claim of Christianity.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Without it, as the Apostle Paul wrote, our faith is worthless.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: The Gospels tell us that three days after his crucifixion,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus rose from the dead, appeared to his disciples, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: 40 days later ascended to heaven. There is no archaeological
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: artifact to unearth, no bones to examine, and that in
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: itself is significant. Consider what we know First, the tomb
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: was empty. Jesus was buried in a tomb belonging to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Joseph of Arimathea. A large stone was rolled across the entrance.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Roman guards were posted. Yet on the third day, the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: tomb was found empty. Even Jesus's enemies acknowledged this. Their
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: response wasn't to produce the body, but to claim the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: disciples had stolen it. Second, the disciples were transformed. Before
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the resurrection, the disciples were hiding in fear. Peter had
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: denied Jesus three times. When Jesus was arrested, they all fled.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: These were not brave men. But something changed. Within weeks,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: they were preaching publicly in Jerusalem, the very city where
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus had been executed. They faced imprisonment, beatings, and ultimately martyrdom.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: People do not die for lies they invented. Something happened
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that turned cowards into martyrs. Third, Consider James. Jesus' own
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: brother did not believe in him during his ministry. The
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Gospel of John records that even his family thought he
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: was out of his mind. Yet, after the resurrection, James
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: became the leader of the Jerusalem church. He was eventually
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: executed for his faith. The historian Josephus records his death.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: What convinced a skeptical brother to die for a claim
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: he knew to be false, unless he didn't believe it
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: was false? Now consider the alternatives. The stolen body theory?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: The tomb was guarded by Roman soldiers, and the disciples
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: had no motive to steal a body and then die
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: for a lie. The wrong tomb theory? If Jesus' body
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: was still in a tomb somewhere, the authorities would have
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: produced it to stop Christianity in its tracks. Hallucination. Over
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: 500 people claimed to see the risen Jesus over a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: period of 40 days. Group hallucinations don't happen. People don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: share the same false vision. Legend? The resurrection was being
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: preached within weeks of the event in the same city
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: where it happened to people who could have refuted it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Legends take generations to develop. This claim was immediate. Science
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: confirmed nine events. Ancient stones, sediment cores, bone fragments, all
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: pointed to truth. But the tenth event left nobody to find,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: no tomb to excavate, only an empty space where death
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: should have won. And that emptiness has been echoing for 2,000 years.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: The Bible is not just a book of faith. It
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: is a book rooted in history. When skeptics demanded proof,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the ground gave it up. When critics called it mythology,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: archaeology called them wrong. David was real. Sodom was destroyed.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The Hittites built an empire. Caiaphas presided over a trial.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: The earth shook when Jesus died, and when the tomb
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: was opened, it was already empty. So let me be
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: clear about what this means. For too long the world
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: has tried to convince you that the Bible is outdated,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that it's full of errors, that it can't be trusted.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: They lied. Every attack on Scripture has been answered. Every
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: skeptic has been silenced by the stones. Isaiah chapter 40
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: verse 8 declares, The grass withers, the flower fades, but
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the word of our God will stand forever. And it has.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Century after century, empire after empire, the word remains. Critics
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: come and go, the Bible stays. The evidence is not
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: on their side, it's on ours. What was written thousands
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: of years ago keeps being validated by what we dig
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: up today. The prophets told the truth, the apostles told
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the truth, and if they were right about David... about Sodom,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: about the earthquake, about the empty tomb. Then they were
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: right about everything else too. Jesus himself said in Matthew
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: chapter 24 verse 35, Heaven and earth will pass away,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: but my words will never pass away. The words of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Christ have outlasted every kingdom that tried to silence them,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and they will outlast every skeptic alive today. So don't
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: let the world's doubt become your doubt. Trust what God
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: has said, not what men assume. The evidence has spoken.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: The word stands unshaken. Now I want to hear from you.
