Egyptian Hieroglyphs in Jerusalem

How Important Was Jerusalem in David's Day?
2 Samuel 5:7
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion that is, the City of David.

The Bible portrays Jerusalem as an established city of some importance even at the time of Abraham. Yet many biblical scholars describe Jerusalem as, at best, an unimportant settlement as late as the time of David in 1000 B.C. Now a biblical scholar may have found the evidence to settle the issue in favor of the biblical history.

The new finds were all previously documented, but they were considered only curiosities. The first piece of evidence was found underneath the site of a Byzantine church in Jerusalem. It is a slab of stone mounted as a monument. Both sides of it are covered with Egyptian hieroglyphics. Another team of archaeologists discovered two clearly Egyptian alabaster vessels in Jerusalem. Their style dates them to the years of 1575 to 1308 B.C. Also beneath the church was a marble-like slab of stone with channels cut in it. While nothing like it has ever been associated with a Byzantine church, such slabs are commonly found as offering tables in Egyptian temples. Well, an excavation in Jerusalem has actually uncovered the site of an Egyptian temple and, finally, Egyptian records dating to the 14th century B.C. contain six letters from the Egyptian provincial ruler of Jerusalem.

Added together, these evidences not only describe Jerusalem as a city, but one of some importance, just as the Bible describes. It was important enough for the Egyptians to build a temple to one of their gods in Jerusalem itself and for David to make it his capital.

Prayer: I thank You, Lord, that even the history in the Bible is reliable. Amen.

@jakedevon I care to but i guess in my walk is not to defend science i might be a machinist means realy good at geometry but thats just shapes bend deductions and metal tensile strength he wouldnt consider that scientific so i guess i cant relate to him.Complex codes need a writer. The DNA code is far more complex than anything written by humans but even a machinist knows that.Sometimes its time to wipe the dust off the feet and move on as well.I care too brother hope you can reach him.

@korzon

I talk to YourBrain because I care about what happens to him. I don't want anybody to go to hell when they die.

Also, it is useful to expose the flawed beliefs of atheists.

Matter can't create itself.

Life comes from life. Many evolutionists believe, by blind faith, that life comes from non-life.

Complex codes need a writer. The DNA code is far more complex than anything written by humans.

Real science=good.

False science=bad.

@korzon Yes the concept is quite complex.... changing your name to suit the videos you're producing because when you originally made your account you never intended on making videos. Amazingly baffling. I'm definitely a troll.

You're incredibly stupid and your comments are riddled with insanity. Get some help man - seriously.

[korzon]

@YourBrainOnReligion we did not converse one comment back was all i was commenting on what a nother christian said most likely thats how we started to converse.Lets just keep one name when people go along with aka they are up to no good and life alone taught me that.Its exactly what trolls do if you know some christians being hypocrytes let me know i want to see not the stuff in vids i mean comments they make.The vid is about one hypocryte but see comments lots of people make.

[korzon]

@YourBrainOnReligion I left one comment on a christian video you as poker told fu and youre GOD we did not converse otherwise you would have remembered me.Never curse at my worst enemy nor hate him doesnt mean you have to fine i understand but you said you never cursed me out in this very vid but yes you did with youre other account what youre not a liar because sorry it was poker hahaha.And to fools GOD's word is Jibberish.I hate lieing not you. hate the sin not the sinner.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@korzon What? Yeah I'm pokerslut530, when did I deny that? In fact my profile says that. I changed my username to be more appropriate for my video content. I guess I forgot to send you a memo.

Sure, maybe at some other time I cursed you out. But it certainly wasn't before going through painstakingly explaining something to you only to have you go back to your original argument. Which... oddly.... is what is happening here.

Are you okay? That comment was a lot of angry-feeling gibberish.

[korzon]

@jakedevon Dont bother jake he doesnt care about debate its deciet and trolling.thought he was actualy trying to be honest.Well like GOD said do not put youre trust in men they are liars.Huh and they wonder why we believe in GOD he is always right and i agree with him.I hated my old lieing self seems to be ok to others obviously he will try to justify himself next.Swear that poker isnt him lie again whatever.Im sick of lies from everyone this world will perish because of it.And its filth.
