Bible Discoveries Ignored by the News

Many discoveries have been made within the last 100 years that prove the Bible is fact and not fiction. The dedicated researcher can find these hidden gems on the Internet, but the average person will never even know they exist. The news ignores them, and the Christians seem to ignore them. There's no way I can list everything in this blog, but I hope to give you enough information to be an encouragement to research for yourself.

What do I believe?

Personally, I am a firm believer in the Bible and in the power and awesomeness of God. I am a skeptic when it comes to humans trying to convince me something is the truth when it is not. I am not easy to convince or as some say hoodwink. I know my Bible and if a story goes one small step away from Biblical truth it goes into the trash can for me.

I have personally studied each of the topics listed on this page, for several years. I have not found anything within them that contradicts the word of God.  By this, I mean their findings, not their personal opinions. I have found each of these “discoveries” to line up perfectly with the word of God and the kind of awesome way that only God can make happen. If at any point, I do not agree with the findings or any statements made I will plainly mark it with the reasons why I disagree. 

Most of the findings listed here were found by Ron Wyatt who was a Seventh-Day Adventist. While I don’t agree with his doctrine I can not doubt the fact that God used this man to bring about discoveries that have proven absolutely that the Bible is real.

Why did God show Ron Wyatt these things? I have an answer for that… Because Ron was willing to listen and go do what God told him to do. Our doctrine or the lives we live have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not God will use us. Our willingness to listen is everything to God. 

While Ron was out discovering all these things that prove the word of God to be true what were the Pentecostals doing? They were denying that God still speaks to people and were actively quenching the Spirit of God. They refused to believe prophets and prophecy were real. They stopped praying in the spirit and mocked anyone who did. 

Granted I still attend an Apostolic church but only because their beliefs most closely match what I have found to be truth in the Bible. I don’t agree with all their points and when I disagree Biblically, I do what God says to do, not what tradition says. There has been a movement since 2012 to return to the true Apostolic doctrine and to follow God’s plan of the fivefold ministry.  This “true” doctrine still has a small following, but I hope the rest of the scoffers will come to truth before it is too late for their souls. 

The facts are plainly laid out in every part of the Bible: if God isn’t talking to you then you are not one of His. You have no hope, and no help will come from Him. God speaks to those that are His and those that are His listen and obey. Just for the record, I hear Him, and I listen and obey. Does that make me perfect? No, but it does make me His and I am forgiven for my faults just as David was.

What is the greatest Biblical discovery of all time?

The Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the spring of 1947 by a young sheepherder who lost one of his sheep. He chased the sheep down but instead of entering the caves, he threw a rock to scare it. But instead of the sheep, he heard a crash.

 

When he investigated, he found a multitude of clay pots containing scrolls. Several scrolls were intact, but most were fragmented. Many different people have spent years piecing together the fragments to have as many intact scrolls as possible.

Did the Flood really happen?

Over and over science has proven the flood did happen.

Did cities mentioned in the Bible exist?

The lost civilization of the Hittites has been found.

The remains of the city of Jericho have been found and the time of the Israelites attack match its destruction.

Was Sodom and Gomorrah burned with fire?

Sodom and Gomorrah have been identified. They found a deposit of 90% sulfur, that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. They found structures that are man-made. They found an area completely devoid of any life of any kind. 

Deuteronomy 29:23-24 (KJV) 23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

Who found the Ark of the Covenant?

I believe that Ron Wyatt found the Ark of the Covenant. I believe the facts as he laid them out about the blood of Jesus running down the crack in the rock to pool on the mercy seat in a cave below the cross. I believe it because only God can orchestrate such an outstanding event. 

Everything written in the Old Testament about the Tabernacle and the sacrifices focused on the fact that the blood must be sprinkled on the mercy seat to remit the sins of the people.  God always has a reason and plan. God would not leave this most important point of His plan in the faulty hands of men. God made sure humans had nothing at all to do with the final action of placing that blood on the Ark. 

I do not believe Ron Wyatt was truthful in what he said “the angels said” to him in the cave where he found the Ark of the Covenant. It does not align with the word of God, and it does align with his own personal religious beliefs. This is the only point in all his studies that I have found where I can’t say he was honest.

This is the section I find fault with.

The four angels lifted up the top of the Ark and said, “Reach in, take the Ten Commandments out.  When a world-wide law is enforced forcing men to violate the Law of God, then they will be shown to mankind.”  Mr. Wyatt held the 10 C’s and one of the angels took them and placed them on a shelf in the cave along with the video showing their removal.  The Ten Commandments are on two tablets of stone and have writing on both sides.  They are written in Proto-Aramaic Mr. Wyatt said in 1999.  One of the angels told Ron to take a sample of Christ’s blood and have it analyzed.  From what Ron said, the angel told Ron steps that should be taken by the lab experts to reconstitute the blood, place it in a growth medium, and analyze the chromosome.  Ron did as he was told.

Ron Wyatt was a Seventh-Day Adventist, and as such, he believed in the prophecies of Ellen White. White wrote a book stating that four heavenly angels always accompanied the ark of God.

Four heavenly angels always accompanied the ark of God in all its journeyings, to guard it from all danger, and to fulfill any mission required of them in connection with the ark. Jesus the Son of God, followed by heavenly angels, went before the ark as it came to Jordan, and the waters were cut off before his presence. Christ and angels stood by the ark and the priests in the bed of the river until all Israel had passed over Jordan. Christ and angels attended the circuit of the ark around Jericho, and finally cast down the massive walls of the city, and delivered Jericho into the hands of Israel.

While I don’t doubt there were angels that followed the children of Israel, the Bible does not say angels guarded the Ark. The Bible says Cherubim did. A Cherubim is very different from an angel. Cherubim are known for guarding the Glory of God or the Holy presence of God from sin. A Cherub with a flaming sword was set at the gate of the Garden of Eden to prevent any sinners from returning to enter God’s presence.

Ezekiel 10:9-20 (KJV) 9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. 10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. 11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. 12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. 13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. 14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. 16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them. 17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. 18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims. 19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

The Bible doesn’t say anything about forcing people to worship on Sunday. It does say they will force people to worship the image of the beast and receive a mark on their hand or forehead. I believe in the sanctity of the Sabbath and that the Sabbath is on Saturday. As Paul stated in Romans 14:5-6 One man can esteem one day higher than another, but it is between him and God if he gives God thanks for it.

Notice in Ezekiel 9: 4 God tells these “men”, who were probably angels to go out and mark all those who cry about the abominations there were taking place in the Temple of God at Jerusalem. The Israelites had polluted the temple with idol and sun god worship. Ezekiel’s vision was of the Glory of God leaving the Temple because of this. 

Satan always mocks God and tries to do the same things. In Revelation, Satan has a mark placed on people. If God’s mark is on you Satan can’t touch you. 

Ezekiel 9:4-7 (KJV) 4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. 7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

Revelation 13:15-18 (KJV) 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
