"Thus saith the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;"
Isaiah 45 : 1
Hi everyone!
Long time coming, but we have returned from our visit into the cosmos from our previous adventure, and what an incredible experience that was to witness the wonders of the universe around us and the presentations of Professor Jim Burr. If you have not had a chance to see our previous outing in the series please check out Spot Focus - Destination 2 and be sure to subscribe on this site for updates (it's free of course!) so you can be the first to receive alerts to all of our new posts and content.
So - Now that our class is back on the ground of earth, the next stop on our "field trip" will involve something much more grounded - literally... Whether you're into history or documentaries and movies, there is a particular genre of interest that has fascinated mankind for a very long time, and that is in the field of Archaeology.
Throughout history people have wanted to dig up secrets of the past that have long been buried, seeking artifacts and treasures of such significance that the very find of these discoveries can either change the course of history, or affirm it...
One such exciting aspect of Archaeology in particular is where the excavations that are found reveal events that we read about in the Bible. In fact, the Bible is what inspires the majority of the digs. What is more amazing is when these treasures of history that are unearthed actually line up and affirm with jaw dropping detail... that the accounts of the Bible are actually - completely true.
Here are some things to consider as we make our way:
-
Where exactly did the Ark built by Noah end up?
-
Was there really a Tower of Babel?
-
What ever became of the treasures of Egypt?
-
Is there proof of the parting of the Red Sea by Moses?
-
Were there really Egyptian chariots found at the bottom of it?
-
The image that Daniel described from King Nebuchadnezzar's dream: Did those nations come to power as predicted?
-
Uriah the Hittite, what do you know of this loyal soldier?
-
What do findings in Israel reveal about Messiah Jesus?
To look into detail on some of these questions and others, we would like to pay a visit to an individual who not only has done such incredible work in the field of Archeology, but has incredibly blessed us personally by his many presentations and sermons: Professor and Pastor, Francois DuPlessis. He is a gentle kindly speaker. You may even learn a few ancient words to add to your vocabulary.
His findings throughout his long career span all over the world, and witness with astonishing clarity and certainty the Scriptures of the Bible - whether it be Noah's Ark and the people of that time or the reign of the Egyptian Pharaohs and Moses' journey into the wilderness with the Hebrews, or even the Prophetic landscape from the Book of Daniel and the fall of Babylon; these presentations bring ancient history and the Bible to life in a whole new way. These videos provide great educational opportunities for anyone who enjoys learning ancient archaeology and history.
The mention of King Cyrus in the passage from Isaiah at the top is one of the many examples where not only did the Bible predict Historical fact centuries in advance, whereas Cyrus would overtake Babylon (in 539 BC) and subsequently order by decree the return of the Israelites to their homeland to rebuild the temple, but there has been found archeological proof to confirm the whole event in it's accuracy. Absolutely stunning!
"Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build Him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up."
2 Chronicles 36 : 23
If you're ready to go "digging" and "treasure hunting," please click the button below, and again as we've mentioned in our previous Spot Focus visits, we are not affiliated in any way with our presenters including Dr. DuPlessis, but rather out of respect for him and his work of Bible Truth Preservation, (and seeing what he's found), we had to spotlight this... Whether you're a believer or a critic, it's definitely worth a look!
