Is The Bible True or False?

The Bible is a crucial book for every person on earth. We should all be studying it daily as it is like a sword. It is our sword against the enemy and it is understanding Who God is. The Bible is also very crucial for Christians finding evidence. When someone says to a Christian "Prove it!" So they go in the Bible and hand out evidence, now what if the person says, "But I don't believe the Bible." You're stuck. The Bible is our source of evidence. So how can we back up that evidence and show that the Bible is true?

First we must go back thousands of years. You remember in the Old Testament in 2 Kings it talks about King Hezekiah. Well you may be thinking right now, "This doesn't prove the Bible is true." But do not be alarmed, it will once I am finished.

On the date of 2009, A few Archeologists have actually found what they call "The Seal of King Hezekiah". Not only that, but it was found in Jerusalem, the very city Hezekiah reigned in.

2 Chronicles 29:1 says:

"Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became the king of Judah, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah."

It has Hezekiah's name written on it and iconography that matches with the King Hezekiah described in the Bible. If you are saying, "Well the Bible might have used a real character like modern day stories sometimes do." Then you don't know what an iconography is. An iconography is a collection of portraits or scenes describing events that had happened in someone's life. These events matched with the Bible's timeline.

Another is Proof of King David. On the date of 1993, Archaeologists have discovered an extremely old fragment that had written on it the words, "House of David" which had the description of King David in the Bible.

Another is quite strong proof of Babylon's siege on Jerusalem. 2000 years ago it took place, we all have read about it some point.

Archaeologists have found three Babylonian inscriptions.

The first read:

“He [Nebuchadnezzar] camped against the city of Judah [Jerusalem] and on the second day of the month of Adar he took the city and capture the king [Jehoiachin].  He appointed a king of his own choice there [Zedekiah], took its heavy tribute and brought them to Babylon.”

The second:

The second read:

“As for me, Nabonidus, King of Babylon, save me from sinning against your great godhead and grant me as a present a life of long days, and as for Belshazzar, my oldest son my offspring, instill reverence for your great godhead in his heart an may he not  commit any cultic mistake, may he be sated with a life of plentitude.”

So there is quite a bit of evidence proving the Old Testament existed. If you wish for any further evidence, please comment below.
