New evidence emerges supporting Biblical account of angelic intervention

New evidence supporting a remarkable biblical account has emerged, according to a scholar specializing in Near Eastern archaeology. Stephen Compton, an independent researcher, recently made an intriguing discovery in Israel that could corroborate the biblical narrative of an angel of the Lord decimating 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. Discovered through a modern mapping technique, these ancient Assyrian military camps from around 700BC align with accounts found in Assyrian texts, Greek histories, and the Hebrew Bible.

The historical significance of this find cannot be understated. One key city mentioned in these texts is Lachish, which was conquered by the Assyrians. Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, ordered a relief to be created on the walls of his palace depicting the conquest of Lachish and his own military camp. While the relief has been preserved at the British Museum, the actual camp had never been found until now.

Using the oval shape depicted in Sennacherib's relief, Compton compared the landscape in photographs taken before modern development to match recognizable features and arrive at the site of the military camp. His research strongly suggests a definitive match, reinforcing the credibility of the narrative.

The scholar hopes that an authorized archaeological team will explore the site and further excavations might provide additional insights into this historical event.

The newfound evidence not only brings this ancient biblical account closer to reality but also reinforces the importance of conducting future excavations. By shedding light on these historical events, researchers not only enhance our understanding of the past but also help validate the significance of these biblical narratives in their respective contexts.
