Things are being found to prove the Bible is true.

Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
1 Corinthians 10:11

Contrary to what some people are saying, things are being dug up which prove the Bible to be true. In fact, what was meant for evil has turned into a very good thing for Israel. The Waqf may insist that Jews have no history and therefore no right to the city of Jerusalem or the Temple Mount, but we can now see that what God used for judgment upon disobedient Israel, has now come to surface as His perfect verdict of judgment on the unbelieving who say the Bible account is a myth.

Here's a thing I read in the final end note of a fascinating article at aish.com. This sums up what has been discovered and why:

King Nebuchadnezzar’s fires razed the city, but those same fires solidified the clay seals like a kiln, preserving them in good condition and fully legible. They bear dozens of Hebrew names, two of them belonging to characters in the Bible...

Of course, Satan does not want these things to be revealed, as he is a liar and has been trying for a very long time to discredit the Scriptures and usurp the throne and be like God (Isaiah 14:12-15). The last thing he wants is for people to believe that the Messiah is going to return to Jerusalem, as the Bible tells us. This is why he has been very busy working on a takeover plot by scheming up a very sneaky replacement plan.

Anyways, as I read the Aish article, it occurred to me that there is definitely a parallel here. As we go through hardships and trials in our Christian walk we may experience things that seem dreadful to us at the time. These are the refining fires that God, in his perfect judgment, is executing. We must trust that His perfect plan will be revealed at the time of His choosing, for His name's sake. In the end, the only thing that matters on this earth is that when the King returns, we will be found in Him.

~But who may abide the day of his coming?
and who shall stand when he appeareth?
for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap~
Malachi 3:2
