Holy Bible

"Besides a clear presentation of atonement and judgment, behind the text are encrypted, in equidistant letter sequences: Yeshua's my name; Messiah; Nazarene; Galilee; Pharisee; Levites; Caiaphas; Annas; Passover; Moriah; the Cross; Pierce; the Atonement Lamb; etc. These, plus the names of everyone at the Cross--Peter; Matthew; John; Andrew; Philip; Thomas; two James's; Simon; Thaddeus; Matthias; and three Marys (one of which is cryptically linked with John); Salome--are all encrypted within the twelve verses of Isaiah 53." Dr. Chuck Missler, Learn the Bible in 24 Hours, (Nelson Publishers, Nashville, TN, 2002), pg. 128

ARCHAEOLOGY: "The heart cannot delight in what the mind rejects as false." 'Nowhere is the spate of evidence more compelling toward verifying the credibility of the Bible than in the scientific discipline of archaeology. Had the learned evolution proponents been right in their testimony before the Scopes Trial Court in 1925, sixty years of intensive world-wide archeological investigation surely would have borne irrefutable proof. However, the very opposite has been true. The discoveries of archaeologists have not in a single instance shown the Bible to be in error at any point. Rather, the digging of archaeologists has piled evidence on top of evidence proving the historical accuracy of the Bible!' http://www.creationism.org/csshs/v11n3p25.htm

"There can be no doubt that archaeology has confirmed the substantial historicity of Old Testament tradition."'William F. Albright (1891–1971), one of the world's most respected archaeologists.

“As a matter of fact, however, it may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference. Scores of archaeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or in exact detail historical statements in the Bible. And, by the same token, proper evaluation of Biblical descriptions has often led to amazing discoveries. They form tesserae in the vast mosaic of the Bible’s almost incredibly correct historical memory.

The whereabouts of Solomon’s long-lost port city of Ezion-geber was for centuries an unfathomable mystery, because no one paid attention to the Biblical statement that it was located “beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom” (I Kings 9:26; 10:22). And that is exactly where we found it, in the form of the small, sanded-over mound of Tell el-Kheleifeh on the north shore of the Gulf of Aqabah, which is the eastern arm of the Red Sea. Memory of its location had been snuffed out like the flame of a gutted candle.

Assuming, however, as we did, that the Biblical statement was literally correct, it was not too difficult to rediscover it. Previous explorations had convinced us that the line of the present seashore had changed little since Biblical times, and that the land of Edom did indeed reach that far south, and also that the Nabataean=Byzantine site of Aila near Aqabah must be on or close to the site of ancient Elath. From that point on, there was little more to do than to stroll along the seashore and examine the only little tell there …

In a similar manner, our discovery of Solomon’s copper and iron mines in the Arabah rift north of Ezion-geber verified completely the sometimes questioned description of the Promised Land as being in part a land “whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper” (Deuteronomy 8:9). On the basis of that information, whose reliability we accepted as a matter of course, and acting on a “hunch” as to where to look, we were able to locate the ancient mines and furnaces and slag heaps and establish their dates by pottery finds.”
