JERUSALEM – Over 100 tablets that date back to the times of Nebuchadnezzar’s rule in Babylon, now modern-day Iraq, have been placed on display in Jerusalem as a further testament to the reliability of the Scriptures.

The palm-sized tablets, which provide a glimpse into the lives of the Jews during the time they lived in exile in Babylon, had been discovered in Iraq and held by a UK-based Israeli collector. The artifacts contain writing in the ancient akkadian cuneiform script and detail transactions, trades and contracts between Jews in approximately 500 B.C.

They also trace at least one Judean family over four generations: a man named Samak-Yama, his son, grandson and his grandson’s five children. Some of the names cited in the tablets include references to Yah, such as Netanyahu and Shalemiyahu, signifying the name of God, or Yahveh.

As outlined in the Old Testament, which is known to Jews as the Tanakh, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon destroyed Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem and forced many Jews into exile.

“But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon,” reads Ezra 5:12.

“Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, who Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away,” Esther 2:6 also outlines in providing the story of Esther, who later became the Queen of Persia, or modern-day Iran.

Psalm 137:1 also outlines the sorrow many Jews felt during this time in exile in stating, “By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.” Hence, the exhibition has been entitled “By the Rivers of Babylon.”

Connect with Christian News Historians believe that the discovery of the ancient tablets, which also mention the Chebar River noted in Ezekiel 11, to be a fascinating find.

“We started reading the tablets and within minutes we were absolutely stunned,” Babylonian expert Filip Vukosavovic told reporters. “It fills in a critical gap in understanding of what was going on in the life of Judeans in Babylonia more than 2,500 years ago.”

“On the one hand it’s boring details, but on the other you learn so much about who these exiled people were and how they lived,” he said.

Filmmaker and author Simcha Jacobovici wrote in an article for the Huffington Post last week that the tablets underscore the accuracy of the Scriptures.

“This discovery is a remarkable confirmation of the historical reliability of the Biblical text,” he said. “It is also a reminder that many people once lived in Iraq.”

The tablets are now on display in Jerusalem’s Bible Lands Museum, and will be available for public viewing for the next year.

Almost every day a new archaeological find is discovered which confirms the veracity of the Bible. That may not be important to you, but it is to Christians.

Why do so many alleged Christians require archeology to confirm the spiritual relationship between themselves and the Creator of the universe?

Why do so many alleged Christians require archeology to confirm the spiritual relationship between themselves and the Creator of the universe?

Alleged? I have been a Christian for 43 years, and every day is an exciting adventure with the Lord. I don't need Archaeology to confirm my relationship with Him, rather He confirms Himself to me in many different ways with evidence, and that happens to be one of the ways.

Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine you are on a jury in a courtroom. You weigh the respective evidence as the prosecutor and defense attorney each presents their case, with each trying to prove their position. Evidence is objective, but proof is subjective. You have to decide if the evidence rises to the level of proof. In this imaginary case the prosecutor provides 5 pieces of evidence, and the defense attorney produces 3 pieces of evidence to counter the prosecution. In this imaginary case you decide the evidence does not rise to the level of proof.

Now we come to a different case. A person has to decide if the evidence for the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is strong enough to prove it actually is true. The defense provides strong evidence day by day as the trial progresses, but the prosecutor raises one objection after another, however his objections are simply pettifogging to cloud the issue. In this case the defense has presented strong evidence day after day for 43 years. There reaches a point where doubt becomes certainty. Unfortunately, the public listens to the media instead of examining the evidence, and blinds themselves to the truth.

I know how the jury system works. Been there decided that.

It's just interesting to me how some folks have confused doing pew aerobics and archaeological artifacts with having a spiritual relationship between themselves and the Creator of the Universe.

"I am the way the truth and the life"

If that's true, then surely the living Creator of the Universe can manage to make it self-evident to the individual without all the MYSTERYous religious theatrics that various folks have propped up in His name.

The failure is on your side in failing to see God wants a people who come to Him in FAITH believing what He says.

LOL @ "pew aerobics."

"I am the way the truth and the life"

If that's true, then surely the living Creator of the Universe can manage to make it self-evident to the individual without all the MYSTERYous religious theatrics that various folks have propped up in His name.

What exactly are those "MYSTERYous religious theatrics" you refer to?
