It’s real history, written in stone and confirmed by archaeology.
Here are 9 discoveries that prove the Bible’s truth still stands today - a🧵✝️
The Tunnel of Hezekiah 701 B.C
2 Kings 20 says King Hezekiah built a secret tunnel to bring water into Jerusalem during an Assyrian siege.
For centuries, skeptics called it legend.
Then in 1838, a 1,750-foot tunnel was discovered, carved into solid rock, exactly where Scripture said.
It’s real. You can walk through it today.
The Inscription of Pontius Pilate 1st c. A.D
For years, critics said Pilate was made up, a convenient villain for the Gospels.
But in 1961, archaeologists in Caesarea found a limestone block inscribed:
“Pontius Pilatus, Prefect of Judea”
The man who washed his hands of Christ? History never forgot.
The City of David 1000 B.C
They said David’s kingdom was a myth, no real power, no real capital.
Then, near the Temple Mount, ruins were found: ancient buildings, walls, fortifications, pottery.
Carbon dated to the 10th century BC, right when David would have ruled.
Now even secular scholars call it the "City of David."
Jericho’s Fallen Walls? 1400s BC
Joshua 6: “The walls fell down flat.”
Excavations at Jericho showed that the city’s walls didn’t crumble, they collapsed outward, as if pushed from within.
That’s almost unheard of in ancient siege warfare.
And the layer of ash? The whole city had been burned.
Just like the Book of Joshua says.
The House of Peter in Capernaum 1st c. AD
In the ruins of ancient Capernaum, archaeologists found a small home beneath an octagonal church.
It had Christian graffiti in Aramaic, Greek, and Latin, the earliest pilgrims called it “the house of Peter.”
This was likely the very home where Jesus healed, taught, and ate.Mount Ebal’s Cursed Tablet c. 1200 BC
At Mount Ebal, where Joshua built an altar, Joshua 8, a tiny lead tablet was discovered.
Inside, a curse was inscribed in ancient Hebrew:
"Cursed, cursed, cursed, cursed by the God YHW."
This matches Deuteronomy 27 exactly, linking the Bible’s account to a real, 3,200-year-old artifact.
In 2018, a 2,700-year-old seal of the prophet Isaiah was discovered, possibly made by Isaiah himself.
The very first reference to him outside of the Bible.
The Earliest ‘Jesus is God’ Inscription 3rd c. AD
In 2024, archaeologists uncovered an inscription in ancient Greek reading:
"Christ, born of Mary. Jesus is God."
Experts call it the greatest discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls, direct evidence of early Christian belief, not centuries of legend.
The Oldest Evidence of Christianity in Europe 2nd c. AD
Just before Christmas 2024, a silver amulet found in Austria was digitally unrolled.
Inside: a prayer invoking Christ, the earliest authentic Christian artifact ever found north of the Alps.
Proof Christianity had already crossed into Europe far earlier than once believed.

848 years ago, on November 25, 1177, one of the most unlikely victories in Christian history took place.
A sick king and a few Crusader knights faced, and defeated, Saladin's giant army - Outnumbered 20 to 1
The Battle of Montgisard - a🧵✝️
The great protagonist of this battle is Baldwin IV, the "Leper King."
Diagnosed still in his youth, he already suffered from the numbness of his hands and legs, but his strength of spirit was indomitable.
No disease took from him the duty to protect Jerusalem.
With what many believed to be the end of campaign season, many of Baldwin’s barons had already ridden north.
But when word reached Jerusalem of Saladin’s approach, Baldwin, the young leper King, did not hesitate.
War was once again upon them and they were to fight, or die.
Saladin launched a new offensive against the Kingdom of Jerusalem with about 26,000 men, relying on surprise and the apparent weakness of the Crusader forces.
Christians are supposed to be pacifists? Just say you know nothing about Christianity
The saints and doctors of the Church taught that war is sometimes not only permitted, but a duty
Let’s talk about Just and Holy War - a🧵✝️
Let’s begin with a myth: “Christianity means absolute pacifism. War is always evil.”
This is FALSE.
From the early Church Fathers to the great Doctors like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church has always taught that some wars are just, even holy.
War is an evil, but sometimes necessary to restore just peace and avoid greater evils.
The Church does not glorify violence.
But she teaches that peace is the fruit of justice, not cowardice - Is 32,17
If tyrants threaten the innocent. If evil crushes the weak.
Then Christian men may, and sometimes must, take up arms in defense of the good.
The tilma of Guadalupe still hasn’t decayed after 500 years.
Its colors can’t be reproduced.
And in her eye? A reflection of witnesses, 1/100th of a millimeter.
This is the image that shouldn’t exist , but it does - a 🧵✝️
The year was 1531. A poor indigenous man named Juan Diego sees a woman “brighter than the sun” on a hill near Mexico City.
She speaks to him in his native tongue.
She says: "Am I not your mother?"
What happened next changed the Americas forever.
To prove the apparition was real, Our Lady tells Juan Diego to gather roses in December.
He finds them blooming out of season.
He carries them in his tilma, a rough cactus-fiber cloak. When he opens it before the bishop, the roses fall and an image appears.
You’ve probably prayed novenas before.
But have you ever heard of a 12-year novena that if prayed daily Jesus will defend you at judgment?
Plus no purgatory, protection for 4 generations, and even foreknowledge of death?
The 12-Year Prayer of St. Bridget of Sweden – a 🧵
From Eden to Calvary, salvation has always been written in Blood.
When Adam and Eve fell, God clothed them with garments of animal skin, the first blood sacrifice to cover sin. (Gen 3:21)
But these sacrifices only pointed forward.
The Israelites shed the blood of lambs, goats, and bulls.
Yet none of these could heal the wound of sin.
It took the Blameless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, whose Precious Blood was poured out at Calvary, once for all, for our redemption.
