The Bible Continues to Stand the Test of Truth
Our Founding Fathers consistently quoted the Bible as the basis for their beliefs and actions. American law and education were developed using the bible as the basis. America has become the most generous nation in the history of the world – because of adherence to Biblical principles.
Yet, there have always been those among us who have tried, whenever possible, to discredit the Bible – to make it less than it really is. The historical accuracy of the Bible has been a consistent target.
Now once again, the Bible has stood the test of truth.
A team of top scientists, led by Russell Adams of Canada’s McMaster University, has dated the ancient nation of Edom to the exact time the Bible says it existed.
In II Samuel 8:13 (NIV), the Bible says, “And David became famous after he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.�
Archeologists have been saying for year, “No, this is not accurate, couldn’t have happened in David’s lifetime because there were no people in that area of the world at that time.�
Now these new discoveries confirm the fact that there were a people in this territory of Edom, in the time of the Bible period, which were strong enough to fortify a city and establish a mining center.
This is not the first, nor will it be the last time, that archeology will confirm the authenticity of the Bible.
However, the greater confirmation is the life-changing message of freedom that the Bible speaks to individuals and nations.
It is written that, “those whom the Son set free are free indeed.�
