Age of Biblical Tunnel Confirmed!!!

By Dwight Chin

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 14:1). There are those skeptics and doubters that continue to try and disprove the existence of Almighty God. Many will boldly tell you the stories of the Holy Bible are just that; stories, fiction concocted by clever men.

Evolutionists for decades have tried to dispel the true facts that CREATION had a DESIGNER. Instead they claim it merely evolved! It is no wonder the INSPIRED word of God refers to such procrastinators as fools. The more they try to disprove the INSPIRED HOLY SCRIPTURES the more evidence comes to light that proves the existence of the CREATOR!!!

The apostle Paul was inspired to write, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"

"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:20-22).

Recently in the news, came confirmation of the age of the Silom tunnel. The Bible indicates that it was constructed in ancient Jerusalem during the reign of King Hezekiah, (2 Kings 20:20; 2 Chronicles 32:3,4) around 700 B.C. to carry water from the ancient city to Silom for protection against the Assyrian king Sennacherib.

The age of the tunnel has been proven historically true and accurate to the biblical account by radiometric techniques used by researchers from Israel and the UK.

Until now the age of the tunnel had been hotly debated by so-called Biblical scholars, some of whom suggested that it was built centuries later, in spite of the fact that in 1880 an inscription was found on the tunnel wall tying the construction of the tunnel to the time and reign of King Hezekiah.

However this recent dating techniques (radiometric, measuring samples of plants and wood contained within the plaster that lined the tunnel) has provided an accurate dating of the tunnel to be in the time of King Hezekiah, 700 B.C.

Amos Frumkin, a geologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem says "We believe this point is now clearly settled."

Is it?

To Mr.Amos Frumkin and other God fearing, God believing people out there, the point is clearly settled. But in a world such as ours, there will always be the fools trying to disprove the true existence of the creator!

They will continue to refute plain scriptures such as John 1 which says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

"The same was in the beginning with God.

"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men" (John 1:1-4).

However the time is coming when skeptics and doubters will have no choice but to believe!

"And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

"And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

"For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" (Revelation 6:15-17).

May God Haste that day!
