Time and again, archaeology has
confirmed that the Bible
describes ancient history and culture accurately.
We now have archaeological
evidence for the United Monarchy of David and Solomon and biblically sound dates for the Gihon Tower
in Jerusalem, for instance.
The Bible recounts real events, real people and even real
catastrophes, such as earthquakes.
Now, Israeli scientist have
discovered Gideon or his lesser name Jerubbaal. he is best
known for defeating a Midiate army in the book of Judges.
“The shard was found in Khirbat er-Ra’i, near Kiryat
Gat, inside a storage pit that was dug into the ground and lined with stones.
According to the IAA, the shard dates from around 1,100 BCE, making it approximately
3,100 years old.”
