Israeli scientists have found evidence that confirms the biblical account of the sun standing still in Joshua 10, according to Charisma News.
Joshua 10 recounts the story of Joshua and the Israelites' battle against the Amorites at Gibeon. It says: “On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.” So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on[b] its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. Scientists have now determined that this event describes a total solar eclipse. Scientists were even able to pinpoint the exact date and time when this even took place: October 30, 1,207 B.C.E, at 4:28 p.m. Photo courtesy: ©Thinkstock/yuriy_kulik Publication date: June 5, 2017.

Wright holds the distinction of being one of the few theologians of our day who regularly contradicts and opposes the liberal wing of the academy while simultaneously alienating and perplexing many conservatives within the Reformed tradition. Liberal scholars scoff at his insistence upon Jesus’ literal and physical resurrection; conservative scholars decry his apparent denial of the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement. It is the latter subject that I will deal with in this post. An Overview of Wright’s Historical Theology. Obama’s Comparison of Islamic Terrorism to the Crusades Receiving Heavy Backlash. In response to Barack Obama’s recent comments asserting that Christians are just as guilty for violence committed in the name of Christ as Muslims are for committing terrorism in the name of Mohammad, a number of prominent leaders are speaking out against the president’s remarks as being an improper comparison.
“Jesus taught peace, love and forgiveness. He came to give His life for the sins of mankind, not to take life. Mohammad, on the contrary, was a warrior and killed many innocent people,” wrote Franklin Graham in a Facebook post. Marriage, Childbirth, Death and Burial, Puberty and Menstruation: customs in ancient Israel. Major Events in a Woman's Life Puberty and Menstruation When a Jewish girl reached the age of puberty, she was called, in Hebrew, betulah.
This word defined her as an adolescent girl who had reached puberty but not yet given birth to her first child. It is sometimes translated as ‘virgin’, but in fact it related more to her age group than her physical state. She probably began to menstruate at about 10-12 years of age. The onset of menstruation was celebrated, because it showed that the girl had passed from childhood into womanhood. At puberty she was introduced to the special customs that Jewish women followed, particularly those relating to menstruation. During her menstrual period, a Jewish woman was relieved of many of her normal duties. Special rules guarded her privacy and rest at this time. After her menstrual cycle, a woman was required to bathe herself from head to toe in a special pool of clean water, called a mikveh. Return to top Choosing a husband.
