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

Once the devil said to a priest: "If there were three men like thee, my kingdom would be ruined!"

The whole of France came to him.
He could read souls, he fought demons and lived on one boiled potato a day.

This is the astonishing life story of St. Jean-Marie Vianney - a🧵✝️ Image
Image
Jean Vianney was a simple farm boy.
Born into a farming family in Dardilly, near Lyon, on May 8, 1786, Jean-Marie Vianney’s childhood was marked by the fervor and love of his parents.

However, the context of the French Revolution had a strong influence on his youth: he made his first confession at the foot of the great clock, in the common room of the house where he was born, rather than in the village church, and received absolution from an underground priest.

Two years later, he made his First Communion in a barn, during an underground mass celebrated by a refractory priest.

At 17, he chose to answer God’s call: “I’d like to win souls for God,” he told his mother, Marie Béluze. But his father opposed the project for two years, as there was a shortage of hands at his father’s house.

Once in the seminary everyone thought he was too stupid to be a priest.

He couldn’t read, struggled with Latin, and was nearly kicked out of seminary.

But God had other plans.Image
After years of struggle and private tutoring, Jean was finally ordained at age 29.

He was sent to a forgotten village in rural France.
A tiny, desolate place called Ars.

The bishop said: “There is little love of God in that parish, you will bring it there.”

There, he awakened the faith of his parishioners through his preaching, but above all through his prayer and his way of life.

He feels poor in front of the mission to be accomplished, but he lets himself be seized by God’s mercy.

He restored and embellished his church, founded an orphanage: “La Providence” and took care of the poorest.Image

Today is the feast day of St. James the Apostle.

In 844 A.D. Christian Hispania was on the edge of annihilation

But then, something appeared in the sky: a rider on a white horse, blazing with light.

The miracle of Clavijo, when St. James descended to fight – a 🧵✝️🇪🇸 Image
At the time, the Reconquista had barely begun.

King Ramiro I of Asturias led a small Christian force against the Moors of Al-Andalus.

They were exhausted. Surrounded. On the verge of defeat. That night, Ramiro prayed.

And in his sleep, a vision. Image
Saint James the Great appeared to him.

One of the 12 Apostles. Evangelizer of Hispania. Martyred in Jerusalem. Buried at Compostela.

He said: “March out tomorrow. The Lord will grant you victory. I shall descend from Heaven to fight by your side.” Image

The movie version of Dracula holds no candle to the historical Vlad, the Impaler.

He was a Christian king who defended his home with everything he had from the Ottoman invasion.
And without him, Europe as we know it wouldn't exist.

This is the story of Vlad Dracula - a 🧵✝️ Image
Image
Forget Hollywood's vampire nonsense.

Vlad III of Wallachia, "Dracula", wasn’t a blood-sucking monster.

He was a Defender of the Cross, forged in fire and betrayal, who struck fear into the hearts of the Ottoman hordes. Image
Born in 1431, Vlad was the son of Vlad II Dracul, a knight of the Order of the Dragon, a Catholic military order founded to defend Christendom from the Turks.

“Dracula” simply means “Son of the Dragon.” Image

They mock our faith as superstition.
"Outdated. Irrational. Blind.", they say.

But when the tests are run, the scans examined & the tissue analyzed; Even scientists fall silent.

These are 6 miracles the world tried to debunk, and failed - a🧵✝️ Image

The Host That Became Human Heart Tissue: Lanciano, Italy 8th c. A.D

A priest doubted the Real Presence during Mass.
As he consecrated the host, it transformed into real flesh and blood before his eyes.

Modern tests show:
>The flesh is cardiac tissue (heart muscle)
>The blood is type AB, same as the Shroud of Turin.
>No preservatives. No decay. 1,200 years later.

The Sacred Heart, made visible.Image
Image
The incorrupt bodies of the Saints

>St. Bernadette.
>St. Catherine Labouré.
>St. John Vianney.

Buried in simple coffins. No embalming. No climate control. But when their tombs were opened decades later:

>No decay
>No odor
>Some with fresh-looking skin and flexible limbs

Preserved by God, not chemicals.Image

They mocked him.
They investigated him.
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 Saint Padre Pio, the saint who confused modern 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, and 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.

Blood flowed daily for 50 years.

Doctors, scientists, and even Church officials examined him.

No medical cause was ever found.Image
