And here we go again, ancient stone tablets prove that angel wiped out soldiers, oh dear, my Harry Potter book proves that broomsticks fly, fancy that!
A recent discovery in Israel may corroborate an epic biblical account of an angel of the Lord wiping out 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, an independent scholar claims.
Stephen Compton, an independent scholar specialising in Near Eastern archaeology, used a modern mapping technique to find the discovery of, what he believes, are ancient Assyrian military camps, from circa 700BC.
The discovery, which is also detailed in Assyrian texts, Greek histories and the Hebrew Bible, could verify the biblical account of 2 Kings 19:35, Isaiah 37: 36-38 and 2 Chronicles, 32:21.
“And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand; and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.” — 2 Kings 19:35
The scholar detailed his finds in the journal Near Eastern Archaeology and shared with Fox News Digital the historical significance.
It's a story people, it may have some basis in fact, that some sort of epic disaster happened, maybe a sudden outbreak of the plague or some other natural event, but it wasn't fucking angels because angels don't exist!
In fact the very wording used in the scripture clearly indicates purely human origin and invention;
and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses
When they arose they were all dead corpses? What sort of wording is that? Corpses are by definition dead!
