I can't help but feel that, if the account of the fall of Jericho was recorded in secular texts rather than religious texts, then people wouldn't be trying so hard to disprove the dating of it, but would rather just accept the find for what it is: corroboration of an ancient historical record.
It's all about disproving God to a fallen rebellious prideful humanity. Desperate to reject and remove everything that has to do with the living God(YHVH).
Just look at how many of them believe gorrilas as their ancestors(I was ever one of them), and you cannot expect sense from them! All the world is under the evil. You are right.
This kind of thing happens all the time. Secular historians and archaeologists do this routinely against the Bible. They refused for quite a long time to acknowledge the literal existence of King David. The only reason they had to change their mind was because coins were found bearing his name in the correct layer of soil. So basically if it's in the Bible it has to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, which is not the same standard that is given to other historical texts.
@The Study And you are God now to determine who is Jewish and who is not as who who observes Torah or not . Tell me, did God take a vacation and leave you in charge of the universe and judgeing people , because, my bad I didn't get the memo . Revelation 2 :9 was a rebuke from Jesus to a specific synaguge , in a specific city , in a specific time peroid; it was not directed to every Jewish person , or synaguge on the planet then , or now People who HATE the Jews people use that verse of scripture in Revelation 2:9 to justify cursing and harming the Jew ; sounds like from your post you do that - when God says in His written word not to . Israel is a nation according to Gods word is a nation He, Himself established and restored , and according to Gods written word the Only One who has a right to say anything agaisnt - no matter how it is behaving at the present time . You live in America . BTW?
@The Study take a memo : God creating the nation of Israel and giving it forever to the Jewish people had NOTHING to do with Torah or keeping it God made an eternal oath to Abraham concering the land God was not only giving him, but to Abraham's line through Isaac and Jacocb mearly 500 years before God through Moses wrote Torah Law . God gives strict warnings many times in His written word: 1) that only He had the authoroty to rebuke and correct Israel as a nation and the Jewish people 2) that NO ONE was to speak evil , nor lift a hand agaisnt the Jewish people, or God , Himself will destroy those who hated Israel and the Jewish people - God has done that before and He will do it again Now. if you want to make your self a casulaity of God's judgement for disobeying His warning by speaking evil of, or wishing Israel and the Jewish people harm - keep bad mouthing both Israel as a nation and the Jewish people, no one survives making God their personal enemy . If your sole argument is that at this time Israel and the Jewish people are not perfect before God right now . you better remember , neither are YOU . 😎
I love how time and history vindicates the veracity of the Biblical accounts. Through careful, rigorous scholarship, God is proven truthful throughout generations. Thank you for this! Praise God for His faithfulness to preserve His witness through time.
No, what is PROVEN is that real people actually lived in the Middle East millennia ago, built towns, carried out wars, and in general lived as people lived in those days.
LIES. TRUTH NEVER NEEDS TO BE TOLD MORE THAN ONCE, FOR TRUTH STANDS ON IT'S OWN AND IS THAT WHICH SLAYS EVERYTHING IN IT'S PATH EXCEPT FOR ITSELF. A LIE ON THE OTHER NEEDS TO BE TOLD REPEATEDLY IN ORDER TO CONVINCE YOU TO BELIEVE IT AND SLAYS NOTHING IN IT'S PATH EXCEPT FOR ITSELF. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR CENTURIES NOW TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THIS NONSENSE.
I didn't see or hear anyone show any proof that those walls fell down because of the sound of trumpets. It's amazing how you can jump to conclusions and see what's not there and not see what is there.
I've done some extensive research on Jericho and the excavations done there. I've also listened to Dr Woods interpretation and study on the pottery. I find it very disturbing that most scholars will follow Kathleen Kenyon's final determination, especially with the erroneous way as to how she came to her conclusion. The pottery doesn't lie and the lack of Cyprian pottery not found (where) Kenyon dug is a ridiculous way to come to a conclusion. (She dated the sight on what she didn't find). Not to mention she seemed to have ignored the pottery which was found by previous digs and her own. I believe Dr Bryant Wood is correct and this was the Jericho of Joshua's time. Everything about the Tel coincides with the Biblical story to a tee. To refute the facts is blindness.
Yeah and we want nothing to do with academia. I mean those clowns don even start with conclusions and they want evidence for everything. Why bother if you already know, right?
@@kevinkelly2162 Academia has hidden more knowledge from the world than we could ever comprehend. Their job is to keep the truth hidden. All sides of academia follow hidden agendas. Just follow the money.
@@kevinkelly2162 Its true. Most of the funding comes from corporations and rich intellectuals that have agendas contrary to the truth. Heres one very small example of what Im talking about. He is Dr. Richard Horton the chief editor for the worlds most prestigious medical journal The Lancet: “Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”
Thank you. I don't need to be convinced, because I believe, but I do need to have my faith bolstered from time to time, and that is what your work and these videos do for me. Thank you.
It confirms the truth in the Bible. The naysayers follow behind to debunk and lead astray. "And you shall know the truth and the truth will set us free."
It is incredible to think that God commanded the Israelites not to take the devoted things, so thousands of years later we would corroborate his word with archeological finds. Can't imagine how many Israelites might have questioned this command. God's ways are, indeed, higher than ours. Glory to the Lord!. Amen
@@nerdyengineer7943The Grain was a devotion to their gods & was a “devoted” thing. Also, it was a first fruit of the “Promised Land” God was giving them! It was burned as God commanded as a form of tithing of the Promised land! Praise God & this extra stuff was a confirmation of yr faith & mine to see it all these hundreds of yrs later as evidence of the Truth!! Thank you Lord!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 What a Blessing for us! Our God is a Good God!!!
I love the fact that people are actually working to prove the Bible right. I'm so glad I have all this evidence and more coming out. I've always believed everything in the Bible was true. Amen
There is no evidence that it is right. It's a book of fiction. There is no evidence for example of floods, Exodus, tower of Babel, noah, moses, miracles etc In fact it has been proven to be almost entirely false.
In good science we don’t prove anything. We make a compelling argument for or against something based on evidence. We can conjecture and postulate or hypothesize all we want. But in the end, we rely on evidence and a quality interpretation of that evidence. I’m this case, having the evidence of the red bricks found at the base lends favorably to the Bible’s account of the wall falling beneath itself. The issue that came up was the dating of the pottery. It seems overwhelmingly, that all the data leans heavily that the Bible was in fact correct on the accuracy. Dating something based on an absence of evidence like Kathleen did, was her mistake.
It's a bit like trying to prove that Harry Potter is literally true just because there's "archaeology" which matches descriptions of London in the books.

The fact that they found the burn layers,the burned grains. It lines up with Scripture and after all these years it atill exists as a beacon for us to marvel....Wow!!!
I just do not understand why this channel does not have at least a million subscribers. Such a shame, definitely deserves so much more recognition!!!!!!
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7 THAT IS WHY!
Simply amazing to think that so much of contemporary archaeology can be based on so little evidence, while the contending biblical theory can have so much more substantial evidence in its favor, yet not be wildly accepted. Awesome video.
@@kevinkelly2162 Well, lets see. There are single layers of sedimentary rock hundreds of feet thick deposited all over the Earth with no erosion between various strata. The Coconino Sandstone in the U.S. covers over 10,000 cubic miles and can get as thick as 1000 ft. and was transported over vast distances indicating a large global flood. And billions of dead things showing signs of rapid burial within the sedimentary rock. Marine creatures fossilized in sedimentary rock thousands of feet above present sea level.

Great documentary! Thank you for your work! I had the opportunity to be a student of Dr. Bryant Wood in the mid 1990s at Messiah College. He taught us exactly this same information on Jericho, and I’ve never forgotten it. Such a treasure. So reaffirming of the Biblical account and the authority of Scripture. Praise God!
There is no Problem with Kathleen Kenyon's dating. No big one. She was just 16 years too late. C14 only 6. It is very simple, if you take every Number in the Bible serious. The Bible tells without a missunderstanding, that Shelōmōh must have started the Construction of the temple over 580 years after the Exodos. 84 Years Kings+450 Years Judges Acts 13,20+? Rest+6 Years Conquest+40 Wilderness. So 100 Years + earlier. Yāʿīr 1267-1245 ʿAmmon claims the Land. Yiphtach 1227-1221 said 1267 was 300 Years after 1567. Substract 114 Years of evil Rulers and you have 14 Years Rest. Jos 24,26 Judges 2,7 If we date Shelōmōh to 1016-976 and the Templeconstruction to 1012-1005, where they belong to. Amazing.

I appreciate your work sir. To make effort in order to keep the living Word of God confirmed and to keep proving the truth of the Bible to the whole world is something very special. And God sees it. May God bless you sir for everything you are doing to lift His Name on high! Praise Jesus Christ our Lord.
Man… you are a legend. Keep up the incredible work. This is absolutely imperative for people to know these days. The Bible has always been, and will always be, historically true. Yesterday, today, and forever.
I’ve never read a Bible, so I don’t know what the mythology of Jericho might be. I think a positivist research approach would be most appropriate here: the truth exists in the ground, waiting to be discovered. The preconceptions of the investigator don’t alter that... or shouldn’t. Even a phrase such as “in the time of Joshua” shows the inherent bias and consequent flaws of this research. How do we know that a wall fell all at once? I’d see the same results if the climate got very dry and the people abandoned the settlement. Later it would be destroyed by fire (high points get struck by lightning...) the walls falling over the next few hundred years. No battle necessary. Pottery is useful physical evidence of settlement and scrolls are an interesting record of what some of the people wrote (which may well not be strictly factual, of course) but organic materials such as bones or teeth ought to be examined for the purposes of radiocarbon dating. The burnt wheat (quantity?) would also be worth investigating closely. The stories, less so... unless you want to do sociological research.
@@gdutfulkbhh7537 2 not believe in God is 2 b godless. Which is lost. Which is what Lucifer wants. One has 2 believe in something r they shall fall 4 anything.

Rahab was also a type showing how He [GOD] preserves His people while things are popping off outside lol, like Noah, the Israelites in Egypt during plagues..
I loved this video, but I'm shocked you didn't talk about the one house that was built into the mudbrick wall but didn't fall when the rest of the wall did. That one thing is the most powerful archaelogical find at Jericho in my opinion.
Yes they came down…due to natural events. Not the first time city walls were destroyed in antiquity. Do some research and broaden your horizons. Nothing about this account proves any supernatural claims by anyone, whether ancient or modern.
Not only did they come tumbling down but God made it fall in a way that it created a ramp. The scripture says they went up and into the city, they didn't stumble and bumbling twister ankle trying to go through the rubble they went up and in through the ramp
@@zelmabotha1880 Give me THE BEST PIECE of evidence. There isn't any contemporary evidence that Jesus even existed. If he was so amazing why DID NO ONE write about him during his life?
To me, this story is one of the best and most frustrating and blatant examples of anti-biblical, dishonest, agnostic/atheist bias in academia, regardless of whether Ms Kenyon was aware of it in herself or not. I believe she was aware and stood on it anyway. What a joy it would be to have a clearer image of history had it not been the damaging effect of this bias through generations of historians, archaeologists, and scientists for more than 100 years now.
If you want a " clearer image of history" then read a Real history book...... Not a Book of Fictional History............ There was no Joshua conquering Jericho because there was no wandering in the desert and there was No Exodus or Moses. FOR YOU WERE [NOT] SLAVES IN EGYPT. THE ANCIENT MEMORIES BEHIND THE EXODUS MYTH. Haaretz Apr 19.. 2019 by Ariel David. The Passover narrative is one of the greatest stories ever told. Also...IT NEVER HAPPENED. For the biblical chronology to hold any water Moses must have led the Israelites out of Egypt in the late bronze age between the 15th and the 13th century BC. During this period Egypts control over Canaan was total as evidenced in the Amarna Letters [ An Archive that includes correspondence between the Pharaoh and his Colonial Empire during the 14th century BC] Thomas Romer a renowned expert in the Hebrew Bible and Professor at the College de France and the University of Lausanne explains : " It is not a historical event. There are multiple points where the Passover story does not square with the archaoelogic findings........ But the broader issue is that the Bible simply gets the chronology and the geopolitics of the Levant all wrong" Tel Aviv University Professor Israel Finkelstein one of top biblical scholars in Israel explains : " The Exodus story in the Bible does not reflect the fact that Canaan was dominated by Egypt...... It was a province with Egyptian administrators" So even if a large group of people had managed to flee the Nile Delta and reach Sinai......... They would still have had to face the the Full Might of Egypt on the rest of their journey. The Bible account is anachronistic and Not Historical....... The Exodus story was written centuries after its purported events......... Egypts Empire in Caanan had long since collapsed......... The Ancient Scríbes who wrote these Tales centuries later would not have known that the Egyptians ruled over all of Canann during this period. No trace of the passage of a large group of people [ 600,000 families according to Exodus 12 :37] has been found by Archeologogists. At the very least one would expect that a large group of people wandering for 40 years would have left some kind of evidence......... Nothing had ever been found. Another scholar... Professor Christopher Rolleston of George Washington University explains : " The most logical possibility is that the Exodus Tale is actually an Ancient Memory of the Egyptians overthrowing and expelling the Ancient Semitic rulers of the Nile Delta........ Known as the HYKSOS or [ Rulers of foreign lands] So there was No Exodus and therefore there was no marching and blowing of trumpets at Jericho. You have to hand it those Ancient Scríbes........... They really knew how to spin a good Yarn!!
I've been to Jericho with a tour. They pointed out the "Tel" and there were also sycamore trees there, which I found most interesting because we have sycamores all over northern Indiana. Jericho is the world's oldest city they say. There were other unusual events recorded in relation to Joshua like the standing still of the sun and the backward flowing of the Jordan. So the wall falling down isn't much different. God favored and helped and loved those people. Later they rejected the Messiah long awaited by Moses, Elias, Joshua, David, etc.
I go with the Biblical account, I also have abundance of faith in the Bible and all contained. It is only interesting to see these archaeological studies, I will always side on the side of the Bible. This is very powerful information. Just because you did not find what you were lookiing for does not mean it is not there.
The bible? You trust a book which is routinely debunked as being untrue? How do you differentiate between what is untrue and what is true in this book?
@@sandersson2813 The Bible has proven itself over n over. One video you might want to check out is The Test of a Prophet. Have you ever thought that perhaps being a denier that you may have been led to having an open mind? I don’t understand to condemn ppl who think differently than you, even when proof is there. Curiosity should at least help expand your ways of thinking and I pray that God helps you with that.
True indeed. I agree. (1 Kings 16:34) says In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.
IMAGINE if no one wrote about the account of the fall of Jericho, archeologists today who would have stumbled upon this site would be trying so hard to give ideas as to what happened back then. Except that we do know what happened, and in great detail. Knowledge is so valuable when you understand the risks of not possessing it.
I could have watched another 2 or 3 hours of this. If I could make a request or suggestion, I'd love to see a compilation of all your expeditions in the Holy land in chronological order. Obviously the smaller videos are easier bites, but I'm one of those oddies who really loves the longer style content. Especially to play in the background while I'm busy working. Just a thought! May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob continue to bless and watch over your work and ministry.
Love your videos!!!! They are the best ones I've ever watched on Biblical Archeology. My wife and I want to go to the Holy Land and see these sights with our own eyes!
Its amazing how much proof is actually out there now and easily found thanks to people like you... yet people still proudly refuse to accept it. Reminds me of the verse that goes something like "in the last days knowledge will increase".
Congratulations on a great documentary especially with your well thought out illustrations in order to simplify things for your viewers understanding. This method is crucial for effective teaching and it was refreshing to see this put into practice
Thank you for illuminating scripture so well by showing us these finds that line up so accurately with historical biblical accounts. What a blessing to learn these many events that you cover. Ordered your book too! God bless.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!! GOD Continue blessing you always. I love archeology and LORD knows that I've always wanted someone to present biblical findings in a thoughtful way like your videos. I truly believe the LORD is leading you in making these videos, they are a true blessing.💯🙏❤️
archaeologists come and go - some eager to gain a name for themselves some eager to know God better - no matter what- the ruins remain speaking truth and waiting for all of us to stop doubting. Great work again - thank you.
Thank you for breaking this down with your illustrations and demonstrations. It helps many of us understand these biblical events with interest, instead of reading past them.
Your thorough, thoughtful and entertaining presentation is such a blessing! I love how the earth reveals what it has long concealed through the efforts of the archeologists and, down correctly it will always expose the truth of the Biblical record.
Thank you for the video. Pastor Ken Graves, Calvary Chapel Maine, mentioned your channel in his last podcast 1/8/23. He said that it was an incredible resource.
The Bible is 100% accurate. The stories were real then and happened then and today the prophecies are still being full filled from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
@@MichaelG485 honestly let’s be real. these are tiny things to make possible for the one who created everything as we know it. so yes i think that stuff is real
@@MichaelG485 These were not little children if the text is translated correctly to younger men and not 42 little boys. So. Also is it more astonishing to see the Lord open a donkeys mouth to speak or the Red Sea part by His power? Perhaps its the Resurrection of Lazarus by Jesus' words "come forth ." Also, does a parrot not mimick a humans voice? So with the mimicking ability God designed a parrot to have is it really that far fetched in His omniscient creative power to have a donkey speak? I've heard a dog bark moaning words that his master speaks before. Besides, there are accounts of women and children killed that are wicked in heart and lineage and would not repent as they get older. Only God knows who will turn to Him. God is gracious to the wicked. Some have more time to repent than others. We'll all have our questions answered in due time. Come Lord Jesus.
@@MichaelG485 The evil children mocked the prophet of God. Sense the prophet of God is there to give the word of God, they where mocking the word of God. So, they perished in their folly. Just like everyone who mocks the word of God will.
What an awesome documentary. Loved the model of the city. Just incredible! Just shows how true and factual God’s word is! I’m gonna share this around. Nice one guys. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@hiddenwoodsben well they write their reports and try to figure out what happened. Well sometimes they decide between multiple scenarios based on evidence they do or dont find, in this case someone miss judged the dig.
Having a religious fundamentalist investigation is like having a politician investigate their own party for financial honesty. They will have vastly different standards than you even if you are luck enough to get an honest one and you probably won't. This really is a nice presentation but I've seen them come and go before, each generation has them.
Archaeologist in a sticky situation here i know its hard to admit some of her data was wrong but thank God for yall work that most of you came to one conclusion,there is strength in numbers 😃 god bless you for your dedication to proving the truth!
I have so much respect for this channel for bringing in authorities and original authorities at that and getting them on camera and being sincerely truthful and relying on the evidence about this whole thing. Great job guys.
that isn't how science works thats how believe works science looks at the date the got and drawns a conclusion maby the get new info later and wil get a new conclusion also there is literally no proof god created anything just a lot against it only thing the bible got is a nice history account of ancients places and people
Also, you are the only RUclips channel that uses red arrows in thumbnails that Is ACTUALLY GOOD AT USING THEM. Your arrows POINT TO IMPORTANT THINGS. Thank you.
Wow! Love the 3D view of the city, the archaeological evidence, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and demonstrations via layer cake (did anyone eat that?!) and bucket of dirt retained by stones. Another great video, thank you!
If your place of employment is a school; you ought to know better than to end a sentence with a preposition. When you write “ in the Christian school I work AT (shudder) that’s horrible grammar.

@@franklimbacher1975that was actually my wife making the comments, and after your rather boorish response to a minor grammatical error, I'm glad we serve the perfect King, and not kings of perfection such as yourself (please correct all my grammatical mistakes. Thank you).
While I have never not believed the stories from the Bible, it always makes me smile when the secular world has to acknowledge the Bible is true. Israel is the top of my list to go to. My husband says we see the New Jerusalem, I want to see the original one first. God bless your work.
The secular world? What do you mean by that? And the Bible is full of historical facts, however that does NOT mean everything in the Bible is automatically true. Because that would mean a lot of fictional books with made up characters and happenings would all be true, as longas they have factual locations in them. Is for example the Da Vinci code completely true, because the locations in the book are all based on existing cities, countries and buildings?
Love your videos, it's so cool to see that there is an abundance of evidence for what we believe. Sadly this isn't as popular as mainstream History Channel nonsense that has an agenda to fulfill.
Well put together and well argued. The last statements are the most important. This account was written down by people who witnessed it so why would you dismiss it and try to disprove it. The only thing I can come up with is if we prove God's word is real then God is real and we have responsibility to our creator which most people do not want to believe. Also, let me just say that these videos are REALLY well done in all aspects. If you are doing them yourself then brother you are very talented. Thank You. Best thing I've seen since Ray Vanderlaan was doing his series.
This is a clear and compelling documentary. I would have liked more explanation of exactly why archeologists believe this is Jericho since no other sources mention its existence.
This is an interesting example for the fact that not man decides / determines 'truth' but that God's Word, the Bible, is Truth and that true science is in accordance with the whole biblical context. Neither christians not strict relying on the biblical text nor scientists claiming the Bible were not true are right. An.hom.

Caleb is 85 years old at the time of the distribution of the land [Joshua 14, 10] 1566 to 1560 Kathleen Kenyon: In her research on Jericho, her refutation of John Garstang's dating of the end of the fourth city (City IV) attracted particular attention. In the 1930s, Garstang identified the end of the fourth city with the biblical story of Joshua and dated it to around 1400 BC, i.e. the end of the Late Bronze Age. Kenyon, on the other hand, dated the destruction to around 1550 BC (end of the Middle Bronze Age) and found no signs of settlement for the period from 1400 BC. In the 1990s, there was renewed controversy over the dating when the American archaeologist Bryant G. Wood[1], after comparative studies of Near Eastern Bronze Age pottery and a reassessment of the pottery finds in Jericho, questioned Kenyon's findings and considered a destruction around 1400 BC to be probable. Later, however, radiocarbon dating of the grain stores of City IV argued against Wood's dating and in favour of Kenyon's (late 17th or early 16th century BC)[Hendrik J.

So grateful for what you do and your hard work and for this Channel, so many interesting biblical facts and proves History was literal. This is amazing! 🙏❤️🔥✝️🇮🇱
I don’t feel the need to actually have proof of the events in the Bible but I’m super fascinated and tickled beyond silly that the evidence in modern days does do it. Love that and I suppose it does make me firmer in my beliefs. Hallelujah!
My family loves your channel! Would you consider doing a video about age of world? Talking about the date of the invasion date of Jericho got me to thinking how close God is to us and that He is near each of us. The biblical account ISN’T OUTDATED.
All the humanity can come together and say Bible aint true or the evidence doesnt support it,i will still bless them and go back to reading my Bible with my full heart and soul.I am nothing without God.Praise the Lord
If you remember what the Bible said, they marched around Jericho 7 times, then blew the trumpets. Vibrations. of the troops marching and the trumpets were the cause. 🙏❤️🙏
No ordinary vibrations could have brought down those walls. The people of Israel had the ark of the covenant, which stood for the presence of God among them. And they had the Angel of the Lord, the Captain of the heavenly host, with them! (Joshua 5:13-15). Of course no walls can stand in the way of such God. I’m inclined to believe Joel’s view of an earthquake caused by power of God than just vibrations from the people running around the wall, which was an act of obedience/faith God operated in.
Having grown up in the church and accepting Jesus as my Savior at 8 yro, my faith has always been innocently childlike. By that, I mean; if God's word says that an event took place at a specific place, in a specific way, at a specific time- I don't have the "right or authority" to question or dispute it. I "innocently" accept that as Truth. I've loved how through the past 58 years of my life I have read and seen (through videos such as these), God open up the earth in such a way that gives sound evidence of His word being true. I love how these videos are presented. It's not just about giving irrefutable evidence to God's word as a historical text but also tying that all into the New Testiment and the salvation that is offered through belief in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Every thing in the Old Testiment points to Christ, the Messiah in the New Testiment. Thank you for all the work, research, and prayer that has gone into the making of these videos. I pray God blesses you and your future endeavors as much as you have blessed me.❤
The book of Joshua is my favorite book in the Old Testament. He was full of faith and passion for God. Thanks so much for this presentation. I always feel excited when I come across your podcasts!
It is a book of genocide. People after people completely exterminated and murdered. Young women and girls taken as spoils of war and that's your favorite? Gross.
We are fortunate to have Associates for Biblical Research here in Pennsylvania. I have been to several of their programs and met Dr Bryant Wood many years ago . I recommend ABR all the time to people with Bible questions
There is a movie from Tim Mahoney, a filmmaker who had a crisis of faith, and did a great work of finding archeological evidence of the Exodus. A great movie!! Dr. Brian Woods was also in his movie. The name of the movie is Patterns of Evidence!! Watch it and enjoy!! Thank you for your take on Jericho. Love to watch your video's! 👍 May yehovah bless your life , your family and your work!
Thank you for making this clearer, very informative clear and understandable, The date seems to be the main sticking point among secular archioligst aswell as Christian archioligst who also disagree with each other. What I have noticed since I started looking into all this is that it's not that there is a lack of evidence, but that there is lot's of evidence, but it's trying to piece it all together with a time line that fits, IE exodus out of Egypt, destruction of canaanite cities Hebrews appearing in cannan. The date, the exodus Pharo, 🙆. Thank you very informative clear and understandable video. And two sides of the various opinion. God bless 🙏🙏🙏
No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.
I can't help but feel that, if the account of the fall of Jericho was recorded in secular texts rather than religious texts, then people wouldn't be trying so hard to disprove the dating of it, but would rather just accept the find for what it is: corroboration of an ancient historical record.
It's all about disproving God to a fallen rebellious prideful humanity. Desperate to reject and remove everything that has to do with the living God(YHVH).
Just look at how many of them believe gorrilas as their ancestors(I was ever one of them), and you cannot expect sense from them! All the world is under the evil. You are right.
This kind of thing happens all the time. Secular historians and archaeologists do this routinely against the Bible. They refused for quite a long time to acknowledge the literal existence of King David. The only reason they had to change their mind was because coins were found bearing his name in the correct layer of soil. So basically if it's in the Bible it has to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, which is not the same standard that is given to other historical texts.
That's a very hopeful outlook about people's general opinion.
@@randelrobbins1408 Oh, I know that it's like that. I just find it extremely annoying.

@The Study this is Biblical eveidence discovered by ,non Israelies .
@The Study And you are God now to determine who is Jewish and who is not as who who observes Torah or not .
Tell me, did God take a vacation and leave you in charge of the universe and judgeing people , because, my bad I didn't get the memo .
Revelation 2 :9 was a rebuke from Jesus to a specific synaguge , in a specific city , in a specific time peroid; it was not directed to every Jewish person , or synaguge on the planet then , or now
People who HATE the Jews people use that verse of scripture in Revelation 2:9 to justify cursing and harming the Jew ; sounds like from your post you do that - when God says in His written word not to .
Israel is a nation according to Gods word is a nation He, Himself established and restored , and according to Gods written word the Only One who has a right to say anything agaisnt - no matter how it is behaving at the present time .
You live in America . BTW?
@The Study take a memo :
God creating the nation of Israel and giving it forever to the Jewish people had NOTHING to do with Torah or keeping it
God made an eternal oath to Abraham concering the land God was not only giving him, but to Abraham's line through Isaac and Jacocb mearly 500 years before God through Moses wrote Torah Law .
God gives strict warnings many times in His written word:
1) that only He had the authoroty to rebuke and correct Israel as a nation and the Jewish people
2) that NO ONE was to speak evil , nor lift a hand agaisnt the Jewish people, or God , Himself will destroy those who hated Israel and the Jewish people - God has done that before and He will do it again
Now. if you want to make your self a casulaity of God's judgement for disobeying His warning by speaking evil of, or wishing Israel and the Jewish people harm - keep bad mouthing both Israel as a nation and the Jewish people, no one survives making God their personal enemy .
If your sole argument is that at this time Israel and the Jewish people are not perfect before God right now . you better remember , neither are YOU . 😎
@The Study I see you deleated your comments , so much the better .
I love how time and history vindicates the veracity of the Biblical accounts. Through careful, rigorous scholarship, God is proven truthful throughout generations.
Thank you for this! Praise God for His faithfulness to preserve His witness through time.
It doesn't validate anything. It's a collapsed wall.
No, what is PROVEN is that real people actually lived in the Middle East millennia ago, built towns, carried out wars, and in general lived as people lived in those days.
LIES. TRUTH NEVER NEEDS TO BE TOLD MORE THAN ONCE, FOR TRUTH STANDS ON IT'S OWN AND IS THAT WHICH SLAYS EVERYTHING IN IT'S PATH EXCEPT FOR ITSELF. A LIE ON THE OTHER NEEDS TO BE TOLD REPEATEDLY IN ORDER TO CONVINCE YOU TO BELIEVE IT AND SLAYS NOTHING IN IT'S PATH EXCEPT FOR ITSELF. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR CENTURIES NOW TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THIS NONSENSE.
I didn't see or hear anyone show any proof that those walls fell down because of the sound of trumpets. It's amazing how you can jump to conclusions and see what's not there and not see what is there.
I've done some extensive research on Jericho and the excavations done there. I've also listened to Dr Woods interpretation and study on the pottery. I find it very disturbing that most scholars will follow Kathleen Kenyon's final determination, especially with the erroneous way as to how she came to her conclusion. The pottery doesn't lie and the lack of Cyprian pottery not found (where) Kenyon dug is a ridiculous way to come to a conclusion. (She dated the sight on what she didn't find). Not to mention she seemed to have ignored the pottery which was found by previous digs and her own. I believe Dr Bryant Wood is correct and this was the Jericho of Joshua's time. Everything about the Tel coincides with the Biblical story to a tee. To refute the facts is blindness.
Kenyon was a stooge of academia unlike her father.

There is no evidence that it is right. It's a book of fiction.
There is no evidence for example of floods, Exodus, tower of Babel, noah, moses, miracles etc
In fact it has been proven to be almost entirely false.
In good science we don’t prove anything. We make a compelling argument for or against something based on evidence. We can conjecture and postulate or hypothesize all we want. But in the end, we rely on evidence and a quality interpretation of that evidence.
I’m this case, having the evidence of the red bricks found at the base lends favorably to the Bible’s account of the wall falling beneath itself.
The issue that came up was the dating of the pottery. It seems overwhelmingly, that all the data leans heavily that the Bible was in fact correct on the accuracy. Dating something based on an absence of evidence like Kathleen did, was her mistake.
It's a bit like trying to prove that Harry Potter is literally true just because there's "archaeology" which matches descriptions of London in the books.

It is very simple, if you take every Number in the Bible serious.

Rest+6 Years Conquest+40 Wilderness. So 100 Years + earlier.

Yiphtach 1227-1221 said 1267 was 300 Years after 1567.

Man… you are a legend. Keep up the incredible work. This is absolutely imperative for people to know these days. The Bible has always been, and will always be, historically true. Yesterday, today, and forever.
I’ve never read a Bible, so I don’t know what the mythology of Jericho might be. I think a positivist research approach would be most appropriate here: the truth exists in the ground, waiting to be discovered. The preconceptions of the investigator don’t alter that... or shouldn’t. Even a phrase such as “in the time of Joshua” shows the inherent bias and consequent flaws of this research.
How do we know that a wall fell all at once? I’d see the same results if the climate got very dry and the people abandoned the settlement. Later it would be destroyed by fire (high points get struck by lightning...) the walls falling over the next few hundred years. No battle necessary.
Pottery is useful physical evidence of settlement and scrolls are an interesting record of what some of the people wrote (which may well not be strictly factual, of course) but organic materials such as bones or teeth ought to be examined for the purposes of radiocarbon dating. The burnt wheat (quantity?) would also be worth investigating closely. The stories, less so... unless you want to do sociological research.

Yes they came down…due to natural events. Not the first time city walls were destroyed in antiquity. Do some research and broaden your horizons. Nothing about this account proves any supernatural claims by anyone, whether ancient or modern.
Not only did they come tumbling down but God made it fall in a way that it created a ramp. The scripture says they went up and into the city, they didn't stumble and bumbling twister ankle trying to go through the rubble they went up and in through the ramp

FOR YOU WERE [NOT] SLAVES IN EGYPT. THE ANCIENT MEMORIES BEHIND THE EXODUS MYTH.
Haaretz Apr 19.. 2019 by Ariel David.
The Passover narrative is one of the greatest stories ever told.
Also...IT NEVER HAPPENED.
For the biblical chronology to hold any water Moses must have led the Israelites out of Egypt in the late bronze age between the 15th and the 13th century BC. During this period Egypts control over Canaan was total as evidenced in the Amarna Letters [ An Archive that includes correspondence between the Pharaoh and his Colonial Empire during the 14th century BC]
Thomas Romer a renowned expert in the Hebrew Bible and Professor at the College de France and the University of Lausanne explains :
" It is not a historical event. There are multiple points where the Passover story does not square with the archaoelogic findings........ But the broader issue is that the Bible simply gets the chronology and the geopolitics of the Levant all wrong"
Tel Aviv University Professor Israel Finkelstein one of top biblical scholars in Israel explains :
" The Exodus story in the Bible does not reflect the fact that Canaan was dominated by Egypt...... It was a province with Egyptian administrators"
So even if a large group of people had managed to flee the Nile Delta and reach Sinai......... They would still have had to face the the Full Might of Egypt on the rest of their journey.
The Bible account is anachronistic and Not Historical....... The Exodus story was written centuries after its purported events......... Egypts Empire in Caanan had long since collapsed......... The Ancient Scríbes who wrote these Tales centuries later would not have known that the Egyptians ruled over all of Canann during this period.
No trace of the passage of a large group of people [ 600,000 families according to Exodus 12 :37] has been found by Archeologogists.
At the very least one would expect that a large group of people wandering for 40 years would have left some kind of evidence......... Nothing had ever been found.
Another scholar... Professor Christopher Rolleston of George Washington University explains :
" The most logical possibility is that the Exodus Tale is actually an Ancient Memory of the Egyptians overthrowing and expelling the Ancient Semitic rulers of the Nile Delta........ Known as the HYKSOS or [ Rulers of foreign lands]
So there was No Exodus and therefore there was no marching and blowing of trumpets at Jericho.
You have to hand it those Ancient Scríbes........... They really knew how to spin a good Yarn!!
@@nigel900 it does not require blind faith, though. And we can try to understand as much as possible, knowing that all will be revealed one day. 🙏🏼
I've been to Jericho with a tour. They pointed out the "Tel" and there were also sycamore trees there, which I found most interesting because we have sycamores all over northern Indiana. Jericho is the world's oldest city they say. There were other unusual events recorded in relation to Joshua like the standing still of the sun and the backward flowing of the Jordan. So the wall falling down isn't much different. God favored and helped and loved those people. Later they rejected the Messiah long awaited by Moses, Elias, Joshua, David, etc.
The sycamore trees in the U.S. have leaves which look similar to the sycamores of the holy land, but they are completely unrelated.
I go with the Biblical account, I also have abundance of faith in the Bible and all contained. It is only interesting to see these archaeological studies, I will always side on the side of the Bible. This is very powerful information. Just because you did not find what you were lookiing for does not mean it is not there.

True indeed. I agree. (1 Kings 16:34) says In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.

So ask yourself, when did God make the sun, moon and stars? Research Flat Earth
This is my FAVOURITE RUclips Channel ever!!! Joel P. Kramer is my FAVOURITE Content Creator ever! I hope He knows about True Cosmology! 🕊✝️💯
Your channel and views arrive to conclusions in a very sound manner, in my opinion. Keep up the great scholarship, Sir 🙏
What an work you're presenting sir it was super hardworking,mind blowing and so on... God bless you .best wishes from india 🇮🇳
I’ve seen Dr. Price speak live many times and I’ll go with his opinion, advice, and experience every time.
Excellent episode. Top notch scholars with clearly communicated analysis.
Also, you are the only RUclips channel that uses red arrows in thumbnails that Is ACTUALLY GOOD AT USING THEM. Your arrows POINT TO IMPORTANT THINGS. Thank you.
The Word of God is REAL! Glory be to God.
Keep up the Good work.
Wow! Love the 3D view of the city, the archaeological evidence, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and demonstrations via layer cake (did anyone eat that?!) and bucket of dirt retained by stones. Another great video, thank you!
Love it! Please do more! I plan on using these this year in the Christian school I work at.
If your place of employment is a school; you ought to know better than to end a sentence with a preposition. When you write “ in the Christian school I work AT (shudder) that’s horrible grammar. I, too, am born-again. I feel that those of us who serve the King of Kings should hold ourselves to a higher standard of excellence in education, not a lesser one.
@@franklimbacher1975that was actually my wife making the comments, and after your rather boorish response to a minor grammatical error, I'm glad we serve the perfect King, and not kings of perfection such as yourself (please correct all my grammatical mistakes. Thank you).
The Word of God, the Bible, is never wrong. Thank you.
True, the KJV bible is God only Word and has never been proven wrong
While I have never not believed the stories from the Bible, it always makes me smile when the secular world has to acknowledge the Bible is true. Israel is the top of my list to go to. My husband says we see the New Jerusalem, I want to see the original one first. God bless your work.
The secular world? What do you mean by that?
And the Bible is full of historical facts, however that does NOT mean everything in the Bible is automatically true. Because that would mean a lot of fictional books with made up characters and happenings would all be true, as longas they have factual locations in them.
Is for example the Da Vinci code completely true, because the locations in the book are all based on existing cities, countries and buildings?
Hallelujah to JESUS and Glory to GOD ✝️
I praise and thank God for you. I am very thankful that you and your family are safe.
Love your videos, it's so cool to see that there is an abundance of evidence for what we believe. Sadly this isn't as popular as mainstream History Channel nonsense that has an agenda to fulfill.
lol there's an ironic statement
The History Channel has a great deal of financial backing
Well put together and well argued. The last statements are the most important. This account was written down by people who witnessed it so why would you dismiss it and try to disprove it. The only thing I can come up with is if we prove God's word is real then God is real and we have responsibility to our creator which most people do not want to believe. Also, let me just say that these videos are REALLY well done in all aspects. If you are doing them yourself then brother you are very talented. Thank You. Best thing I've seen since Ray Vanderlaan was doing his series.
This is a clear and compelling documentary. I would have liked more explanation of exactly why archeologists believe this is Jericho since no other sources mention its existence.
This is an interesting example for the fact that not man decides / determines 'truth' but that God's Word, the Bible, is Truth and that true science is in accordance with the whole biblical context.
Neither christians not strict relying on the biblical text nor scientists claiming the Bible were not true are right.

Kathleen Kenyon: In her research on Jericho, her refutation of John Garstang's dating of the end of the fourth city (City IV) attracted particular attention. In the 1930s, Garstang identified the end of the fourth city with the biblical story of Joshua and dated it to around 1400 BC, i.e. the end of the Late Bronze Age. Kenyon, on the other hand, dated the destruction to around 1550 BC (end of the Middle Bronze Age) and found no signs of settlement for the period from 1400 BC. In the 1990s, there was renewed controversy over the dating when the American archaeologist Bryant G. Wood[1], after comparative studies of Near Eastern Bronze Age pottery and a reassessment of the pottery finds in Jericho, questioned Kenyon's findings and considered a destruction around 1400 BC to be probable. Later, however, radiocarbon dating of the grain stores of City IV argued against Wood's dating and in favour of Kenyon's (late 17th or early 16th century BC)[Hendrik J. Bruins, Johannes van der Plight: Tell Es-Sultan (Jericho): Radiocarbon Results of Short-Lived Cereal and Multiyear Charcoal Samples from the End of the Middle Bronze Age. In: Radiocarbon.

So grateful for what you do and your hard work and for this Channel, so many interesting biblical facts and proves History was literal. This is amazing! 🙏❤️🔥✝️🇮🇱
What happened to the mud bricks after discovering them?
I was confused for ages and now I have come to understand it all. Watching all the way from Vanuatu 😁😀👍🇻🇺🇻🇺🇻🇺
I don’t feel the need to actually have proof of the events in the Bible but I’m super fascinated and tickled beyond silly that the evidence in modern days does do it. Love that and I suppose it does make me firmer in my beliefs. Hallelujah!
My family loves your channel! Would you consider doing a video about age of world? Talking about the date of the invasion date of Jericho got me to thinking how close God is to us and that He is near each of us. The biblical account ISN’T OUTDATED.
I thank you for this wonderful and true research. God's Word still speaks. So beautiful.
All the humanity can come together and say Bible aint true or the evidence doesnt support it,i will still bless them and go back to reading my Bible with my full heart and soul.I am nothing without God.Praise the Lord
Thank you much for these well documented video's. 👍
If you remember what the Bible said, they marched around Jericho 7 times, then blew the trumpets. Vibrations. of the troops marching and the trumpets were the cause. 🙏❤️🙏
They had the ark of the covinent with them also
No ordinary vibrations could have brought down those walls. The people of Israel had the ark of the covenant, which stood for the presence of God among them. And they had the Angel of the Lord, the Captain of the heavenly host, with them! (Joshua 5:13-15). Of course no walls can stand in the way of such God. I’m inclined to believe Joel’s view of an earthquake caused by power of God than just vibrations from the people running around the wall, which was an act of obedience/faith God operated in.
Sure, by that logic, when my dog barks my house should collapse. God caused the walls to fall.
Having grown up in the church and accepting Jesus as my Savior at 8 yro, my faith has always been innocently childlike. By that, I mean; if God's word says that an event took place at a specific place, in a specific way, at a specific time- I don't have the "right or authority" to question or dispute it. I "innocently" accept that as Truth. I've loved how through the past 58 years of my life I have read and seen (through videos such as these), God open up the earth in such a way that gives sound evidence of His word being true. I love how these videos are presented. It's not just about giving irrefutable evidence to God's word as a historical text but also tying that all into the New Testiment and the salvation that is offered through belief in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Every thing in the Old Testiment points to Christ, the Messiah in the New Testiment. Thank you for all the work, research, and prayer that has gone into the making of these videos. I pray God blesses you and your future endeavors as much as you have blessed me.❤
Thank you for explaining all of this!
Ive been there and seen it myself and I was in Archaeology too , and this is definitly Biblical Jerhico
The book of Joshua is my favorite book in the Old Testament. He was full of faith and passion for God. Thanks so much for this presentation. I always feel excited when I come across your podcasts!
It is a book of genocide. People after people completely exterminated and murdered. Young women and girls taken as spoils of war and that's your favorite? Gross.
Even creation cries out. Excellent.Tku.
It's honestly so wholesome to see a guy, passionate about his job.
We are fortunate to have Associates for Biblical Research here in Pennsylvania. I have been to several of their programs and met Dr Bryant Wood many years ago . I recommend ABR all the time to people with Bible questions
Keep up the awesome work!! I enjoy these videos so much!!!
There is a movie from Tim Mahoney, a filmmaker who had a crisis of faith, and did a great work of finding archeological evidence of the Exodus. A great movie!! Dr. Brian Woods was also in his movie. The name of the movie is Patterns of Evidence!! Watch it and enjoy!! Thank you for your take on Jericho. Love to watch your video's! 👍 May yehovah bless your life , your family and your work!
Videos like make our faith stronger thank you my man
Thank you for making this clearer, very informative clear and understandable, The date seems to be the main sticking point among secular archioligst aswell as Christian archioligst who also disagree with each other. What I have noticed since I started looking into all this is that it's not that there is a lack of evidence, but that there is lot's of evidence, but it's trying to piece it all together with a time line that fits, IE exodus out of Egypt, destruction of canaanite cities Hebrews appearing in cannan. The date, the exodus Pharo, 🙆. Thank you very informative clear and understandable video. And two sides of the various opinion. God bless 🙏🙏🙏
No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.
Well spoken, my brother. Amen.
I loved this. I never knew archeology could be so fascinating
You never knew!?
I believe this happend and also what ever is written in bible .AMEN
