Wouldn’t a football coach love to have Goliath as his fullback? Any coach could easily put together a championship basketball team made up of Amorites. The Nephilim would make great security guards. Why? The Bible says that all these were giants! Is there any truth to that?

Those who don’t believe in the inspiration of Scripture are likely to consider this claim as a legend which evolved over time. For example, a recent article on giant claims in Biblical Archaeology Review suggested that any large bones that have been found likely belonged to some large animal (like an elephant) but were mistakenly identified by non-scientists as belonging to giant humans referred to in mythology (see “Encounters…” source). They suggested that the idea of giant humans roaming the earth is a “fantastic tale.”

Old Testament History Confirmed… Again!

Like it or not, the title of a 1968 country music hit, “Stand By Your Man,” recorded by Tammy Wynette, may be an appropriate epithet for the wife of Noah. 

Old Testament History Confirmed… Again!

The book of Amos begins by identifying a time “two years before the earthquake” (Amos 1:1). The fact that it must have been very notable is demonstrated by the fact that two centuries later, Zechariah compared the devastation that will occur in the last days with the earthquake that occurred during the reign of King Uzziah in the eighth century B.C. (14:5). Evidence from archaeology has now confirmed a swath of destruction more than 125 miles long from Hazor in the north to Tell es-Safi in the south – in the eighth century B.C., just like the Bible records.
