Seit vielen Jahren behaupten die Kritiker des Alten Testaments, dass Moses die Geschichten der Genesis erfunden habe. Die
Kritiker behaupteten, dass die alten Menschen in den Zeiten des Alten
Testaments zu primitiv waren um Dokumente mit genauen Angaben naufnehmen zu können. Dabei behaupteten ja die Kritiker im Grunde, dass es keinerlei Beweise gäbe, dass die in den ältesten biblischen Aufzeichnungen erwähnten Menschen sowie die Städte
überhaupt jemals existiert haben.
Die
Entdeckung des Archivs Ebla im Norden Syriens in den 1970er Jahren
bestätigt, dass die biblischen Aufzeichnungen der Patriarchen punkt genau sind. Es war bei den Ausgrabungen im Norden Syriens, bei der eine große Bibliothek in einem königlichen Archivraum gefunden würde. Diese Bibliothek beinhaltete Schrifttafeln von 2400 -2300 v.Chr. Die
Aushub Team entdeckte fast 15.000 alte Schrifttafeln und Fragmente, die,
wenn sie zusammen für etwa 2.500 Schrifttafeln entfielen verbunden. Erstaunlicherweise
bestätigen diese Schrifttafeln, dass die Beschreibung der Menschen sowie die Orte in den
biblischen Patriarchenbeschreibungen authentisch sind. Diese Schrifttafeln werden als Ebla-Tafeln bekannt.Für
eine lange Zeit nannten die Kritiker des Alten Testaments Argumente, dass die Bezeichnung "Kanaan" zu Unrecht in den ersten
Kapiteln der Bibel verwendet wurde. Sie behaupteten, dass der Name Kanaan nie zu diesem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Geschichte verwendet wurde. Sie
beschuldigten weiter, dass der Name danach im Alten Testament eingefügt
wurde, während die ältesten Bücher der Bibel nicht in der Zeit
geschrieben wurden, die beschrieben werden. Doch
mit der Entdeckung der Schrifttafeln aus dem nördlichen Syrien, welche
das Wort "Kanaan" angezeigten, standen diese im Gegensatz zu den Behauptungen der
Kritiker. Die Schrifttafeln weisen nach, dass der Begriff tatsächlich im alten
Syrien in der Zeit verwendet wurde, in der Zeit, in der das Alte Testament
geschrieben wurde.Zusätzlich wurden die Städte Sodom und Gomorrha auch als reine Fiktion von Bibel Kritikern abgetan. Diese Städte sind auch in den Ebla-Tafeln, neben der Stadt Haran identifiziert. Haran wird in Genesis als die Stadt der Abrams Vater, Terach beschrieben. Vor dieser Entdeckung, vermuteten "Wissenschaftler" dort die tatsächliche Präsenz der antiken Stadt . Zusätzlich dazu, bestätigen unzählige andere archäologische Funde die biblischen Aufzeichnungen als real und genau. Einige dieser Ergebnisse sind im Folgenden aufgelistet: (weiter unten...)
Critics Of Bible Silenced Once Again: Archaeological Discoveries Prove Old Testament To Be Accurate
For
many years, the critics of the Old Testament continued to argue that
Moses invented the stories found in Genesis. The critics contended that
the ancient people of the Old Testament times were too primitive to
record documents with precise details. In doing so, these critics
basically claimed that there was no verification that the people and
cities mentioned in the oldest of Biblical accounts ever really existed.
The discovery of the Ebla archive in northern Syria in the 1970′s confirmed that the Biblical records concerning the Patriarchs are spot on. It was during the excavations in northern Syria that the excavating found a large library inside a royal archive room. This library had tablets dating from 2400 -2300 BC. The excavating team discovered almost 15,000 ancient tablets and fragments which when joined together accounted for about 2,500 tablets. Amazingly, these tablets confirmed that personal and location titles in the Biblical Patriarchal accounts are authentic. These tablets are known as the Ebla Tablets.
For a long period of time, the critics of the Old Testament used to argue that the name ‘Canaan’ was used wrongly in the early chapters of the Bible. They claimed the name Canaan was never used at that specific time in history. They further accused that the name was inserted in the Old Testament afterwards, while the earliest books of The Holy Bible were not written in the times that are described. However, with the discovery of the tablets from the northern Syria, the word the word “Canaan” does appear, contrary to the claims of the critics. The tablets proved that the term was actually used in ancient Syria during the time in which the Old Testament was written.
Additionally, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were also thought to be pure fiction by Bible critics. These cities are also identified in the Ebla tablets, in addition to the city of Haran. Haran is described in Genesis as the city of Abram’s father, Terah. Previous to this discovery, ‘scholars’ suspected the actual presence of the ancient city. In addition to this, countless other archaeological findings confirm the Biblical records to be real and accurate. Some of these findings are listed below: ■The campaign into Israel by Pharaoh Shishak (1 Kings 14:25-26) is recorded on the walls of the Temple of Amun in Thebes, Egypt. ■The revolt of Moab against Israel (2 Kings 1:1; 3:4-27) is recorded on the Mesha Inscription.
■The fall of Samaria (2 Kings 17:3-6, 24; 18:9-11) to Sargon II, king of Assyria, is recorded on his palace walls. ■The defeat of Ashdod by Sargon II (Isaiah 20:1) is recorded on his palace walls. ■The campaign of the Assyrian king Sennacherib against Judah (2 Kings 18:13-16) is recorded on the Taylor Prism. ■The siege of Lachish by Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:14, 17) is recorded on the Lachish reliefs.
The assassination of Sennacherib by his own sons (2 Kings 19:37) is recorded in the annals of his son Esarhaddon. ■The fall of Nineveh as predicted by the prophets Nahum and Zephaniah (2 Kings 2:13-15) is recorded on the Tablet of Nabopolasar. ■The fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (2 Kings 24:10-14) is recorded in the Babylonian Chronicles. ■The captivity of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in Babylon (2 Kings 24:15-16) is recorded on the Babylonian Ration Records. ■The fall of Babylon to the Medes and Persians (Daniel 5:30-31) is recorded on the Cyrus Cylinder.
■The freeing of captives in Babylon by Cyrus the Great (Ezra 1:1-4; 6:3-4) is recorded on the Cyrus Cylinder.
