Assyrian Cuneiform Seal Discovered Reveals Judah Tax Bill

January 21, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 5 comments

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

March 5, 2018 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

The actual location of the Biblical Pool of Siloam has been discovered, confirming the Bible’s authenticity.

“The living and enduring word of God. For, ‘All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall off, but the word of the Lord endures forever'”—1 Peter 1:24,25 NIV

The more that time passes, the more proof emerges that the Bible is indeed, “the word of God”—1 Thessalonians 2:13

“‘Go,’ he told him, ‘wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (this word means ‘Sent’). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing'”—John 9:7 NIV read more

Fossil Reptile Discovery ‘Something Extraordinary’

According to an article published on March 11, 2016 on BBC News, a newly discovered fossil gives an “extraordinary” insight into life just before the dinosaurs disappeared. It says “at the time, the world was recovering from a massive extinction that wiped out most living species.”

Why could this “massive extinction” not be the Biblical flood of Noah’s day? (Genesis 6-8) The article goes on to say “the fossil is ‘beautiful’ and fills an evolutionary gap.” But all this is is a reptile that was not previously known to exist by modern science. It’s no “missing link.” All creatures were to reproduce “according to their kinds” (Genesis 1:11,12,21,24,25). There is no contrary evidence to prove the Bible wrong.

10,000-Year-Old Extinct Lion Cubs Discovered in Near-Perfect Condition in Siberian Permafrost

October 27, 2015 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

MSN News published an article on October 27, 2015 about extinct lion cubs being discovered in Siberian permafrost. The article reports:

“Two extinct cave lion cubs were discovered in permafrost in northeastern Siberia, a ‘sensational’ and unprecedented find according to The Siberian Times. The cubs are believed to be at least 10,000 years old, though they might be even older, and were found almost perfectly preserved thanks to the permafrost.

The region where the cubs were discovered, the Sakha Republic, has yielded discoveries before, including woolly mammoths, woolly rhinoceros, bison, and horses. The remains of the lions are the most complete specimens of their kind ever discovered, according to researchers involved.

Cave lions lived during the Middle to Late Pleistocene eras in Eurasia, the British Isles, to the far east of Russia, and into Alaska and northwestern Canada. Their extinction remains something of a mystery because they had few predators and, due to their smaller size, they wouldn’t get trapped in bogs like woolly mammoths and rhinos. One theory is that their extinction might have been due to a decline in prey. By studying the cubs, scientists hope to reach firmer conclusions.”

Apparently, this is another classic case of ancient animals being apparently quick-frozen by the global flood of Noah’s day, although the article doesn’t mention the global flood. It’s only a “mystery” to those who are either ignorant of, or deny, the global deluge. Of course, the best proof of the global flood is because the Bible tells us it really happened.

“Higher and higher on the earth the waters swelled, until all the highest mountains mountains under the heavens were submerged. The waters swelled fifteen cubits higher than the submerged mountains. All creatures that moved on earth perished: birds tame animals, wild animals, and all that teemed on the earth, as well as all humankind. Everything on dry land with the breath of life in its nostrils died” (Genesis 7:19-22 NAB). read more
