Babylonian furnace of fire tablet: Book of Daniel: 605 BC |
||
|
|
|
Daniel’s furnace of fire: 594 BC A Babylonian tablet dating from the time of Nebuchadnezzar decreed that if you offend the gods, you will be cast into a commercial oven like a brick kiln. This directly confirms the story of Daniel 3 where Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego where cast into a brick kiln in the spring of 594 BC. This proves Daniel was written in the 6th century BC, not 150 BC as the skeptics suggest because execution in an industrial kiln was unknown during the Hasmonean era.

Septuagint scroll of the Greek Twelve Minor Prophets written in 50 BC
|
Dating to 50 BC, this is a Greek (Septuagint) translation of the 12 minor prophets by Jews before Christ was born. This proves that the Entire Old Testament (Tanakh) was translated into Greek before the Christian Era. The text reads essentially the same as the modern text we use (Masoretic) proving the Bible has not been lost, altered or corrupted over time. YHWH is written in Mosaic Hebrew as the name of God. Read full outline and see 5 ultra high resolution plates of the scroll. |

Dating to 30 BC, the famous Psalms scroll that highlights the feelings of the Jews while in sitting by the rivers in Babylonian after the captivity of 587 BC in Ps 137. It also demonstrates responsive singing in Ps 145 where the phrase “Blessed be Yahweh, and blessed be his name forever!” is added after each statement where is does not exist in the bible. This proves the first century singing style including the church, was responsive. |

Beatitudes Dead Sea Scroll: 4Q525 Prototype of the Book of Revelation. Historical insight: Jesus patterned his beatitudes after the well-known poetic style of his day with 8 short beatitudes followed by an 9th longer one. Like saying, "knock, knock" or "Roses are Red…" today, everyone sitting on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee was familiar with the format and listened curiously to the Nazarene's own variation on the poetic form. Jesus used known cultural paradigms so his message was: revolutionary, relevant and refreshing. |

Songs of Sabbath Sacrifice Angelic Liturgy: 4Q402, MAS1K Prototype of the Book of Revelation. And First century Jewish song book. Historical insight: John patterned Revelation after the well-known apocalyptic genre of his day. Like saying, "knock, knock" or "Roses are Red…" today, the Christians in Jerusalem immediately recognized the format and read intently to this new variation of a well known poetic form. The H.S. used known cultural paradigms so John’s warning to flee Jerusalem, echoing Mathew 24 and Luke 21 was: revolutionary, relevant and authentic.
