JERUSALEM—During the last days of the kingdom of Judah, the Prophet Jeremiah warned the residents of Jerusalem of their impending captivity at the hands of the Babylonian army. But instead of heeding that warning message, the princes of King Zedekiah’s administration attacked the messenger and plunged him into the depths of a miry dungeon (Jeremiah 38:1-6).
One of Jeremiah’s accusers, Gedaliah the son of Pashur, had his name stamped on a small clay seal that was recently discovered about 600 feet south of the Temple Mount. Dr. Eilat Mazar, one of Israel’s top archaeologists, found the bulla earlier this year, in mint condition, while wet-sifting debris excavated under a tower at the north end of the City of David—the original site of ancient Jerusalem....

No. Obama is not a black man. He's a socialist. Why are you pro-Obama types so hung up on race? Or is it you just like to hide your own socialist disease behind it?

Archaeology has always played a crucial role in the debates about the contents and historical reliability of the Bible. Spectacular discoveries along with decades of archaeological excavations have suggested that the Bible's accounts were basically trustworthy in regard to the story of ancient Israel. Thus it seemed that even if the biblical text was written down long after the events occurred, it must have been based on accurately preserved memories.

Albright reports on an archaeological discovery that proves Jeremiah 52:33,34:
Jeremiah 38 1. And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spake unto all the people, saying, 2 Thus saith Jehovah, He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live. 3 Thus saith Jehovah, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it. 4 Then the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
It is hard to be a prophet that prophesies defeat, but, of course, it turned out to be true.
