The Bible isn’t just a story.

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🧵✝️ Image
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.Image

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.Image
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."Image

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.Image
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 BCImage
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.Image
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. Image
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.Image

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.Image

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🧵✝️ Image
Image
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.Image
Image
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.

In theory, nothing could stop the Muslim advance… Image

Cairo, Egypt 1968. The Virgin Mary appeared over a church rooftop, glowing in light.

Muslims and Christians saw her. Even President Nasser did.

The government investigated. They found no explanation.

The apparitions of Our Lady of Zeitoun – a 🧵🇪🇬 ✝️ Image
Image
It all started on April 2, 1968, at the Church of Saint Mary in Zeitoun, Cairo.

Two Muslim mechanics across the street saw a figure on the roof: “She’s going to jump!” one shouted.

The shouts of the two men attracted a small crowd. Those who saw the woman were filled with confusion and awe.

One of the Church custodians voiced what everyone was thinking: “Could that be the Virgin Mary?”

The police were called. But as the crowd gathered, something extraordinary happened.

The figure glowed with a brilliant light.Image
More and more people gathered.

They could see clearly: a woman in white, standing with arms outstretched.

Sometimes kneeling.
Sometimes moving among shining doves of light.

She stayed for minutes. Then vanished.
It wasn’t a one-time event. Image

Today is the feast day of St Padre Pio.

They mocked him, investigated him & even they tried to silence him.

But he bore the wounds of Christ, could read souls, talk to angels & be in two places at once!

This is the story St Padre Pio, the saint who confused science - a 🧵✝️ Image
Image
Born Francesco Forgione in 1887 in southern Italy, he became a Capuchin friar and priest, later known to the world as Padre Pio of Pietrelcina.

From early childhood, he saw angels, demons, the Blessed Mother and even Jesus Christ Himself.

He once said: “If you only knew how many devils I see at my side…”Image
The Stigmata, the wounds of Christ.

On September 20, 1918, while praying before a crucifix in the choir loft, Padre Pio received the five wounds of Christ: hands, feet, and side.

He bore those bloody wounds for over 50 years.

Doctors, scientists, and even Church officials examined him.

No medical cause was ever found.Image

Christianity is NOT a pacifist religion

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🧵✝️ Image
Image
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.Image
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. Image

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 🧵✝️ Image
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. Image
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. Image

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 🧵 Image

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. Image
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.

“His blood poured for ours.” Image
