Text: Isaiah 41:21-29<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I. Mankind’s memories of the past are poor at best<\/p>\n A. In general, we don’t keep extensive records and those records we do keep are\noften on material that does not last.\n B. There is a branch of science, called archeology that attempts to bring the past to\nlight.\n
C. Archaeology is of interest to the student of the Bible.<\/p>\n 1. It cannot prove whether the Bible is true or false. The records are much too\nincomplete to make such statements.\n
2. Yet it can provide support for information found in the Bible<\/p>\n 3. Almost all archeological finds are filled with doubts. There are as many\npeople searching to disprove the Bible as those seeking proof. Most retain\ntheir bias.\n D. The amount of confirming information is staggering. I will not be able to cover\neven small portion of what is available in one lesson.\n
II. Jehoash Inscription![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Joash-Inscription.jpg\")

<\/p>\n
A. II Kings 12:4-16<\/p>\n B. This is a fairly recent find and is filled with controversy. It came to light in 2003\nwhen someone attempted to market the stone. The dealer refuses to reveal the\nowner (owning archeological artifacts is a crime in Israel). But this means the\nhistory of the stone cannot be traced.\n C. If it is a forgery, it is an incredibly accurate one. It passes every test currently\nknown so far for material.\n 1. The one that has most people excited is one micron diameter flecks of gold\nacross the surface.\n 2. This matches something that had gold overlay, but was melted off by\nextreme heat.\n 3. Nebuchadnezzar took all the gold in the temple after a siege – II Kings\n24:11-13\n D. Most doubts center not on the stone itself, but the words used on the stone. The\nproblem while many scholars talk as if we know the exact usage of Hebrew\nthroughout the ages, the reality is that we have few samples. The Bible remains\nour main source. The Hebrew doesn’t precisely match the Hebrew found in II\nKings 12.\n 1. The problem is that too many anomalies and it is declared a fake because it\ndoesn’t match current knowledge of the language\n 2. Too few anomalies and it is declared a fake because it was copied from the\nBible.\n

III. Hezekiah’s Tunnel![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hezekiahs-Tunnel-Inscription.jpg\")
![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hezekiahs-Tunnel.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
A. Sennacherib enters Judah – II Chronicles 32:1<\/p>\n 1. According to secular history, Sennacherib had recently come to power\nafter the death of Sargon II. \n 2. At Sargon’s death, revolts had broken out in various regions of the\nAssyrian empire. Sennacherib was determined to firmly hold onto his\nvassal states.\n 3. Knowing that Sennacherib would soon take a hand in putting Judah back\nunder his power, Hezekiah began preparations for war – II Chronicles\n32:2-5\n B. In 1880 two boys swimming in a pool in Jerusalem, found an inscription about 20\nfeet into one end of a tunnel.\n 1. The inscription read: “[…when] (the tunnel) was driven through. And this\nwas the way in which it was cut through: While […] (were) still […] axe(s),\neach man toward his fellow, and while there were still three cubits to be\ncut through, [there was heard] the voice of a man calling to his fellows, for\nthere was an overlap in the rock on the right [and on the left]. And when\nthe tunnel was driven through, the quarrymen hewed (the rock), each man\ntoward his fellow, axe against axe; and the water flowed from the spring\ntoward the reservoir for 1200 cubits, and the height of the rock above the\nhead(s) of the quarrymen was 100 cubits.”\n 2. The tunnel is 1,800 feet long (showing a cubit was 1.5 feet in Hezekiah’s\nday).\n
IV. Taylor’s Prism![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Taylor_Prism-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n A. Part of the text on Sennacherib’s prism is an account of his military campaign into\nJudah. “As to Hezekiah, the Jew, he did not submit to my yoke, I laid siege to 46\nof his strong cities, walled forts and to the countless small villages in their\nvicinity, and conquered them by means of well-stamped earth ramps, and\nbattering rams brought thus near to the walls combined with the attack by foot\nsoldiers, using mines, breeches as well as sapper work. I drove out of them\n200,150 people, young and old, male and female, horses, mules, donkeys, camels,\nbig and small cattle beyond counting, and considered them booty. Himself I made\na prisoner in Jerusalem, his royal residence, like a bird in a cage. I surrounded him\nwith earth work in order to molest those who were leaving his city gates”\n
B. Compare with II Kings 18:13-17<\/p>\n C. Notice that Sennacherib never mentions actually conquering Jerusalem, only the\ncities in the north. From the Scriptures, we know why – II Kings 19:32-36\n
V. The Siege of Lachish<\/p>\n
A. Recall the mention of a siege being held in Lachish – II Chronicles 32:9<\/p>\n B. ![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lachish-aerial-from-northwest-tb010703290-bibleplaces.jpg\")
The tell was identified first as Lachish by Albright in 1929, the tell was excavated\nby James Leslie Starkey 1932-38 and by Tel Aviv University 1973-87. Lachish is\ngenerally regarded as the second most important city in the southern kingdom of\nJudah. It enters the biblical narrative in the battle accounts of Joshua, Sennacherib\nand Nebuchadnezzar.\n C. ![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lachish_siege_ramp_crosssection_from_west_tb_n022201w.jpg\")
William Dever, “The evidence of it is all there: the enormous sloping siege ramp\nthrown up against the city walls south of the gate; the double line of defense\nwalls, upslope and downslope; the iron-shod Assyrian battering rams that\nbreached the city wall at its highest point; the massive destruction with the fallen\ncity … Virtually all the details of the Assyrian reliefs have been confirmed by\narchaeology”\n D. ![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lachish_siege_reliefs_room.jpg\")
![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lachish-Siege-Relief.jpg\")
The only siege ramp excavated in the ancient Near East is this one constructed by\nthe forces of Sennacherib in his 701 B.C. invasion of Judah. More than 1000 iron\narrowheads were found in the ramp as well as a chain for catching the battering\nrams. This ramp is depicted in Sennacherib’s siege reliefs with five battering rams\nascending it.\n
VI. The Death of Sennacherib<\/p>\n
A. II Kings 19:37<\/p>\n B. ![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sennacherib_murder_nabonidus_marduk.jpg\")
A translation by Luckenbill from Esarhaddon’s chronicles found in Assyria: “In\nthe month of Nisanu, on a favorable day, complying with their exalted command,\nI made my joyful entrance into the royal palace, an awesome place, wherein\nabides the fate of kings. A firm determination fell upon my brothers. They forsook\nthe gods and turned to their deed of violence plotting evil. … To gain the kinship\nthey slew Sennacherib, their father …” \n
C. This account is found on the Nabonidus Stele<\/p>\n
VII. Bullae<\/p>\n A. When a scroll was written, it would be rolled into a cylinder, wrapped by a cord,\nand then the cords tied and sealed with a bit of soft clay, wax, or soft metal. A\nstamp was used to impress the seal giving notice as to who the owner of the scroll\nwas.\n B. One location in Jerusalem is known as the “House of Bullae” because so many of\nthese seals were found. The building was burnt by the Babylonians. The fire\ndestroyed the scrolls, but it baked the seals, thus preserving them.\n C. ![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Seal-of-Gemariah.jpg\")
The Seal of Gemariah. A clay button used for sealing letters was found in 1982 in\na layer of Jerusalem which corresponds to its destruction in 586 BC. This seal is\nmarked, “Gemariah, son of Shaphan.” This can only be the seal of the same\nGemariah who is mentioned in Jeremiah 36:10-12, 25-26. He was one of those\nwho advised King Jehoiakim not to burn the scroll which Jeremiah had sent to the\nking. \n D. ![](\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BaruchBulla.jpg\")
The Seal of Baruch: The three lines on the Baruch bulla read: “(Belonging) to\nBerekhyahu, the son of Neriyahu, the scribe.” The suffix -yahu was a common\nepithet attached to names in Judah, meaning, “blessed of Jehovah.” While\ntranslations sometimes render it “-iah” (cf. Baruch’s father Ner-iah), some texts\ndrop it altogether. The bulla is now displayed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem –\nJeremiah 36:16\n 1. There are several of these seals. One in a private collection has a\nfingerprint on the back, which might be the fingerprint of Baruch himself.\n
E. The bullae are significant because these are major political figures.<\/p>\nVIII. 50 People in the Bible found in Archaeology\n[http:\/\/www.biblicalarchaeology.org\/daily\/people-cultures-in-the-bible\/people-in-the-bible\/50-people-in-the-bible-confirmed-archaeologically\/]\n
