185. Mt. Ebal Tablet
A lead tablet from the east excavation dump area of the Mt. Ebal altar is dated 1200-1400 BC and mentions “by the God Yahu” in proto-alphabetic Hebrew. To have both El and Yhw written at this early time period refutes the 19th century documentary hypothesis.
68. Prophecy of the Messiah
Isaiah 53:11 (DSS): “After the suffering of his soul he will see light.“ Matthew 28:5-6 (Codex Sinaiticus): “The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen.’”
51. Intelligent Design: Complex Molecular Machines
The bacterial flagellum is powered by a rotary motor, which has a drive shaft, universal joint, rotor, bushings, stator, and a clutch and braking system. It has a near 100% efficiency and displays a clear top-down design logic.
46. Intelligent Design
The ATP synthase machine with rotary motor is able to produce about 100 ATP molecules per second with near-100% efficiency. ATP synthase is irreducibly complex, which means all parts of the machine had to come into existence at its beginning.
69. Biblical Names in Inscriptions
Gallio (Acts 18:12 etc). A portion of the Delphi Inscription from Delphi, Greece, dated January-August 52 A.D., reads: “Gallio, my fr[iend] an[d procon]cil.” It supports Luke’s chronology and recording of the events during Paul’s travels.
122. Eye Witnesses
In Acts 3:15 (Codex Sinaiticus), Peter with John say to the crowd concerning Jesus, “You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.”
46. Earthquake of 33 AD
In gullies of the Wadi Ze’elim, SW Dead Sea, an earthquake seismite layer can be seen that has been assigned to 31 +/- 4 AD, which history specifies as 33 A.D. This earthquake is noted in Matthew 27:50-51 at the time when Jesus was being crucified.
76. Prophecy of the Messiah
In around 586 BC Daniel in 9:25-26 prophesied that a coming anointed one would make atonement after a decree, and he would be killed before Jerusalem and the temple are destroyed. This points to Jesus (Isaiah 53; Romans 11:26; Hebrews 9:28).
4. Names of Biblical People in Inscriptions
Alexander son of Simon the Cyrenean was one of two sons of Simon who carried the crossbeam of Jesus (Mark 15:21). An ossuary inscription pre 70 AD (Heb. Univ. No. 1965) reads: 1. “Alexander the Cyrenian,” 2. “Alexander (son of) Simon.”
170. Prophecy of the Messiah
Isaiah 53:5 (DSS): “But he was wounded for our transgressions … and by his wounds we are healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 (Sinaiticus): “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree ... By his wounds we are healed.”
113. Eye Witnesses
Acts 2:32 (Codex Sinaiticus) reads (Peter, with the Eleven disciples, said): “God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.”
62. New Testament Reliability
The original New Testament autographs have been reconstructed to a high degree of confidence from the 5,500+ Greek and 18,130+ non-Greek manuscripts and early patristic quotes.
46. Intelligent Design
The ATP synthase machine with rotary motor is able to produce about 100 ATP molecules per second with near-100% efficiency. ATP synthase is irreducibly complex, which means all parts of the machine had to come into existence at once.
111. Intelligent Design
Blood Coagulation System: Factors V VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII Prekallikrein Tissue Factor Prothrombin Fibrinogen t-PA u-PA TFI HC2 Proteins C S Z Plasminogen Antithrombin Thrombomulin Fibrin, etc. Irreducibly complex after initiation pathways converge.
122. Eye Witnesses
In Acts 3:15 (Top: Papyrus 74. Bottom: Codex Sinaiticus; Peter with John say to the crowd concerning Jesus) “You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.”
19. Biblical People in Inscriptions
Gemariah son of Shaphan (Jeremiah 36:10-12). A son of Shaphan the scribe and servant of king Jehoiakim of Judah (609-598 BC). A City of David bulla reads: lgmryhw [b]n spn “Belonging to Gemaryahu, [so]n of Shaphan.”
182. Queen of Sheba
A seven letter inscription on a clay jar sherd discovered in Jerusalem is dated to the time of King Solomon and has stumped epigraphers for over a decade. It is now thought to be Ancient South Arabian for labdanum, a gum resin used in the priestly incense.
168. Prophecy of the Messiah
Isaiah 53:1 (LXX): “Lord, who has believed our message?” John 12:37-38: “Although Jesus had performed so many signs … they still did not believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: ‘Lord, who has believed our message?’”
