This Sunday we will be finishing our study of the ancient city of Nineveh, and with that the Assyrian Empire. The point to all of this is to set the stage for the books of Jonah & Nahum.
Our key text will be 2 Kings, particularly chapter 17-19.
There is a lot of archaeological evidence in regards to the Assyrian Empire. They kept detailed records and we have been fortunate to have been able to recover some of these documents and get a good idea what life was like in Nineveh.
One of the most encouraging things is how much the Bible Narrative matches up with the Archaeological evidence. It certainly testifies to the Bible's reliability in regards to historical facts. Pretty cool.
