Were Books Omitted From the Old Testament of the Bible?

Were Books Omitted From the Old Testament of the Bible?

Comments 0 Comment

“All scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16 NAB). Increasingly claims are made that books were omitted from the Old Testament of the Bible. The Hebrew Scripture canon of inspired books was closed by circa 400 BCE, with the completion of the books of Nehemiah and Malachi. This means that any more books produced after that time were considered not inspired by God, according to the Jews. What evidence do we have that our current 39 book Old Testament doesn’t omit any inspired books? read more

When Was the Book of Lamentations Written?

When Was the Book of Lamentations Written?

Chronicles 35

The lamentations of Jeremiah are depicted in this 1860 woodcut by Julius Schnorr von Karolsfeld.

The Bible is popularly viewed as a mixture of fact, fiction, and folklore. In this article, we will explore the subject of “When was the book of Lamentations written, and why is it important for us to know that?”

The relatively short five chapter Old Testament Bible book isn’t used very much these days. In fact, many Christians are unaware that the book even exists, and even many of those who are aware, would struggle to find its place in the Bible. This is ironic, because an older song often sung in Christian Church services, weddings and funerals, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”, is based on Lamentations 3:22-23.  read more

Israel Antiquities Authority Fragments of parchment found in the Cave of Horror

The Greek Minor Prophets Scroll is pictured above.

The early Christians in the 1st century used both Hebrew and Greek (called the Septuagint, abbreviated LXX) manuscript scrolls of the Old Testament (OT). The early Christians used the Greek Septuagint Version (LXX) for much of their reading the Hebrew Scriptures, commonly known as the Old Testament (OT)., as reflected in many New Testament (NT) quotes from the OT. Most extant copies of the LXX have the Greek “kyrios” (“Lord”) rather than “Yahweh” (“YHWH” in Hebrew). Why? read more

Nippur is located in Iraq

Many Jews were deported to Babylon from about 605 BCE to about 581 BCE (2 Kings 24:15-25:21; Jeremiah 52:28-30).Isaiah’s inspired prophecy, two centuries in advance, foretold that only a remnant with the Jews living in Babylon would choose to return to their homeland after freedom was granted.The following scriptures indicate that there was a community of exiles of Jews from Judah who remained in the Babylon area after Medo-Persian King Cyrus allowed Jews to return to the homeland beginning in 539 BCE. Since “the Scriptures” are “the word of God” (John 10:35 NLT), we can believe whatever they state. read more

Do The Three Years of Daniel 1:5 Contradict Daniel 2:1?

Do The Three Years of Daniel 1:5 Contradict Daniel 2:1?

“Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it . . . The king said . . . to bring some of sons of Israel . . . to stand in the king’s palace . . . and teach them the literature and tongue of the Chaldeans . .  . that they should be educated three years, at the end of which they were to stand before the king” (Daniel 1:2-5 LSB). Critics claim that the “three years” of Daniel 1:5 of educational training that Daniel and his three Hebrew companions received after coming to Babylon as captives conflict with their reported appearance, “before Nebuchadnezzar . . . in service before the king” by “the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar” (Daniel 1:18,19; 2:1 LSB), since Nebuchadnezzar is called “king of Babylon” at the time of the capture of the Jews. They claim that the Bible’s account is fictional because it reports the three years of training as completed in only the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign. read more

Samson

Samson is one of the more famous characters in the Bible, particularly known for his extraordinary acts of strength, and his encounter with Delilah. In one the less prominent events of his life, it is commonly believed by Bible scholars, Christians, and others, that the ancient Israelite judge Samson committed immorality with a harlot in the Philistine city of Gaza, based on the  scriptural account in Judges 16:1-3. All one has to do is look at some of the numerous Bible commentaries to see this. Did Samson sin with the prostitute at Gaza? read more

Assyrian Cuneiform Seal Discovered Reveals Judah Tax Bill

Assyrian Cuneiform Seal Discovered Reveals Judah Tax Bill

Assyrian Cuneiform Seal discovered in 2025   “The mouths of liars will be silenced”—Psalm 63:11 NIV   Until the 1840’s critics claimed the Bible’s many references to the Assyrians were fictional, because there no external evidence outside of the Bible of an Assyrian kingdom. However, these critics claims were silenced with numerous independent archaeological discoveries supporting the Bible’s record of the Assyrian kingdom. Archaeological discoveries continually uncover artifacts which support the Bible record as being authentic and true. One headline described a recent sensational find this way:
Archaeologists Uncover 2,700-Year-Old Inscription Under the Western Wall on the Temple Mount
THE 2025 DISCOVERY OF THE ASSYRIAN CUNEIFORM SEAL    Details of this discovery are quoted here in this article.  
Archaeologists Found an Ancient Tablet Inscribed With an Ominous Royal Threat

Death and taxes have always been inevitable, even in the ancient world.
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
A fragment of a cuneiform seal that’s now the first direct evidence of official communication between the kingdoms of Judah and Assyria has emerged at an archaeological site in Israel.
According to the cuneiform writing on the seal, which was meant to summarize a longer document, the king of Assyria demanded that the king of Judah pay his taxes.
The seal is thought to be from the same time period when Assyria conquered Judah and made it a vassal state required to pay tribute to the Assyrian king.—Popular Mechanics, November 3, 2025 read more

Many “experts” view the Biblical flood account as a myth. However, the recent discovery of an ancient tropical world at Mazon Creek in the US state of Illinois is enlightening: 

“More than 300 million years ago, Illinois was a very different place. Instead of cornfields and prairies, the land lay in the tropics, teeming with swamps, rivers and shallow seas.

Today, that ancient world is preserved in the world-renowned Mazon Creek fossil beds, where researchers recently reexamined a massive collection of more than 300,000 fossils and uncovered a breakthrough. It turns out the area (near modern-day Coal City, Illinois) once hosted three distinct ecosystems, each with its own unique animal and plant life. read more

When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

Some doubt that the Hebrew prophet Micah wrote either all or parts of the Bible book bearing his name, and have, instead, asserted that the book was written and edited sometime later, by others under his name. Why does it matter when the book of Micah was written? What difference does it make?

“I have been full of power by the Spirit of YHWH” (Micah 3:8 LSV). Micah was inspired by God through his holy Spirit to predict many things, but there are five very important predictions we’ll focus on in this article in order to prove this Bible book’s authenticity, that is, that it was written in the 700’s BCE: read more

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

Comments 13 comments

The Bible appears to contradict science by classifying ‘bats’ as “birds” in Leviticus 11:13-19. From science, we know that bats are actually mammals. Therefore, we do well to ask,  “Does the Bible call bats birds and contradict science?” Let’s analyze the scriptures and science and see.

“These shall you detest among the birds, they shall not be eaten: they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture . . . the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat” (Leviticus 11:13,19 ESV) read more
