Episode: “Rulers in Stone”
Many first-century finds are being unearthed at Caesarea, an ancient city on Israel’s Mediterranean coast. The first extra-biblical reference to Pontius Pilate was found there, as well as a full-size Temple replica. At Tel Dan in northern Israel, the “House of David” has been confirmed archaeologically. We also discover there an altar with metal shovels.
Series: “The Stones Cry Out (2012)”
In recent decades, many marvelous, new archaeological discoveries have greatly illuminated and validated the biblical record. In order to film the archaeological sites and interview the experts, Zola Levitt, Thomas McCall, and the production crew of Zola Levitt Presents journeyed to Israel and Jordan. We found that, just as our Lord said about this remarkable Land, indeed The Stones Cry Out. (Luke 19:40) Myles and Katharine Weiss host this encore presentation, examining the archaeological discoveries that shed light on the Bible.

- 00:52 Myles: AND WE ARE BLESSED
- 00:53 TO BRING YOU OUR NEXT PROGRAM
- 00:54 IN THE SERIES:
- 00:55 "THE STONES CRY OUT."
- 00:56 REMEMBER THIS VERY SCRIPTURE
- 00:58 COMES FROM LUKE 19:40.
- 01:01 IT WAS JESUS HIMSELF
- 01:03 WHO SAID THAT IF THE DISCIPLES
- 01:04 DIDN'T PRAISE HIM,
- 01:05 IF THE WORLD DIDN'T PRAISE HIM
- 01:07 THE VERY STONES WOULD CRY OUT.
- 01:08 IN THIS SERIES WE'RE
- 01:10 DEMONSTRATING THE STONES CRYING
- 01:11 OUT TODAY IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL
- 01:13 AS ARCHAEOLOGY CATCHES UP
- 01:15 TO THE BIBLE AND VERIFIES,
- 01:17 THROUGH SCIENCE,
- 01:18 EVERY WORD THAT IS IN THIS BOOK.
- 01:19 IT'S VERY EXCITING.
- 01:20 Katharine: AND THE EXISTENCE
- 01:21 OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
- 01:22 THE EXISTENCE
- 01:24 OF THE LINE OF DAVID...
- 01:25 Myles: ESPECIALLY,
- 01:26 THE LINE OF DAVID.
- 01:27 TODAY, IN THIS PROGRAM, WE'RE
- 01:28 LOOKING FOR RULERS IN STONE,
- 01:29 AND WE HAVE WITH US
- 01:30 A COPY OF THE VERY WORK
- 01:33 THAT WAS FOUND IN TEL DAN,
- 01:34 UP IN THE NORTH OF ISRAEL,
- 01:36 WHICH DEMONSTRATES
- 01:37 THE HOUSE OF DAVID, BEING
- 01:39 IT'S INSCRIBED ON THIS STONE;
- 01:41 AND IT DEMONSTRATES
- 01:43 THAT DAVID WAS NOT
- 01:44 A MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTER.
- 01:45 HE WAS NOT A FANCIFUL KING THAT
- 01:47 WAS MADE UP BY THE JEWISH PEOPLE
- 01:48 OR INVENTED BY BIBLE PEOPLE;
- 01:50 BUT HE WAS A REAL PERSON
- 01:52 WHO LIVED A REAL LIFE
- 01:53 AND HIS DYNASTY ALSO EXISTED.
- 01:55 AND THAT'S GOING TO BE PROVEN BY
- 01:57 THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES
- 01:58 IN THIS PROGRAM TODAY.
- 02:00 Katharine: YEAH.
- 02:01 WE'RE SO EXCITED
- 02:02 TO BRING YOU THESE PROGRAMS.
- 02:03 AND WE WANT TO MAKE THEM
- 02:04 CONTINUALLY AVAILABLE TO YOU AND

- 02:10 WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE FAITHFUL
- 02:12 AND WE'RE FAITHFUL TO CONTINUE
- 02:14 THIS MESSAGE THAT'S BEGUN
- 02:16 THREE DECADES AGO,
- 02:17 TO STAND WITH ISRAEL
- 02:19 AND TO CONTINUE

- 02:27 AND SO WE THANK YOU FOR STANDING

- 02:30 NOW, LET'S GO TO DR. TOM McCALL
- 02:33 ON LOCATION WITH ARCHAEOLOGIST
- 02:35 ROSS VOSS AT TEL DAN.
- 02:39 Tom: WELL, ROSS, HERE WE ARE,
- 02:40 SITTING IN FRONT OF THE WALLS
- 02:42 AND THE GATES OF TEL DAN.
- 02:44 CAN YOU TELL US WHY TEL DAN IS
- 02:46 SO IMPORTANT IN THE MIDDLE EAST
- 02:48 AND BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY?
- 02:50 Ross Voss: WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
- 02:51 I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
- 02:53 ABOUT DAN IS
- 02:54 IT'S THE BEST PRESERVED
- 02:55 OF ALL THE BIBLICAL CITIES
- 02:56 EVER EXCAVATED AND UNCOVERED
- 02:57 IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
- 02:58 AND IT WAS ONE
- 02:59 OF THE LARGEST CITIES
- 03:01 AND ONE OF THE ONLY CITIES
- 03:02 THAT WE'VE EXCAVATED,
- 03:03 THAT HAS A HIGH PLACE OR A CULT
- 03:05 CENTER THAT'S BEEN EXCAVATED,
- 03:07 THAT CAN LET US KNOW WHAT THE
- 03:09 PHYSICAL REMAINS OF AN ISRAELITE
- 03:10 CENTER OF WORSHIP ARE LIKE.
- 03:12 Tom: WELL, WE'RE RIGHT HERE
- 03:14 IN THE FRONT OF THE GATE,
- 03:16 THE ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY.
- 03:18 CAN YOU DESCRIBE
- 03:19 WHAT ALL OF THE THINGS ARE
- 03:20 THAT WE SEE HERE AT THE GATE?
- 03:22 Ross: IN THIS SOUTH SIDE
- 03:23 OF THE CITY WHERE WE SIT,
- 03:24 WE'RE OUTSIDE THE WALLS
- 03:25 OF THE ENCLOSURE
- 03:27 OF THE ANCIENT SITE OF DAN.
- 03:29 AND IN THE OUTSIDE, THERE'S
- 03:31 A LARGE PIAZZA OR PAVEMENT
- 03:33 OF THE SALT FLAGSTONES WHICH
- 03:36 CREATE AN OPEN SPACE WHERE
- 03:38 IN THE BIBLICAL PERIOD
- 03:39 THERE WERE THE MARKETS.
- 03:41 IN THE HEBREW THEY CALL IT
- 03:42 THE "HUTSOT,"
- 03:43 WHICH IN THE TIME OF KING AHAB,
- 03:45 WERE THE PLACE OF MEETING
- 03:48 FOR THE MERCHANTS,
- 03:49 FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BAZAAR
- 03:51 WHO WANTED TO TRADE
- 03:52 AND SELL COMMODITIES.
- 03:54 ALSO, FROM THE NEIGHBORING
- 03:55 KINGDOMS OF THE ARAMEANS
- 03:56 AND THE PHOENICIANS,
- 03:57 THIS WAS THE ONLY OPEN SPACE
- 03:59 NEAR THE CITY.
- 04:00 INSIDE THE CITY IT WAS VERY
- 04:01 CROWDED AND CONGESTED BUT
- 04:03 ON THE OUTSIDE, THEY WOULD HAVE
- 04:04 THESE LARGE COURTYARDS.
- 04:07 Zola: WE READ
- 04:08 IN II SAMUEL 19:8,
- 04:23 THIS MODEL OF THE CITY OF DAN
- 04:25 SHOWS HOW THE EXISTING
- 04:26 LOWER STONE STRUCTURE SUPPORTED
- 04:28 VERY IMPRESSIVE DEFENSIVE
- 04:30 TOWERS FORMED HERE IN WHITE.
- 04:32 AS SEEN FROM ABOVE,
- 04:34 THE KING'S THRONE
- 04:35 WAS STRATEGICALLY PLACED.
- 04:36 ♪ ♪
- 04:41 Tom: IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE
- 04:42 A TRAVELING COURT,
- 04:44 WHERE PEOPLE WOULD,
- 04:45 WHEN THEY HAD THEIR PROBLEMS,
- 04:46 THEY WOULD COME
- 04:47 AND PRESENT TO THE JUDGE,
- 04:49 IN THIS CASE,
- 04:50 THE TRAVELING KING.
- 04:51 Ross: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT,
- 04:52 BECAUSE THE KING WOULD, WHEN
- 04:54 IN THE COURSE OF HIS RESIDENCE,
- 04:56 WOULD LEAVE HIS CAPITAL,
- 04:58 WHETHER IT WAS SHECHEM IN
- 04:59 THE CASE OF JEROBOAM, OR SAMARIA
- 05:01 IN THE CASE OF KING AHAB,
- 05:02 HE WOULD HAVE TO CONSUME
- 05:04 THE TAXES OF THE KINGDOM
- 05:06 THAT HE WAS DUE BY GOING TO
- 05:08 DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE KINGDOM.
- 05:09 AND HE WOULD THEN, IN THE COURSE
- 05:10 OF DOING THAT, COME INTO THE
- 05:12 VARIOUS CITIES OF THE VARIOUS
- 05:14 TRIBES AND IN THE CASE OF DAN
- 05:15 WHERE IN THE TRIBAL CITY OF THE
- 05:16 TRIBE OF DAN, HE WOULD COME AND
- 05:18 LIVE HERE FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD
- 05:20 OF TIME AND CONSUME THE TAXES
- 05:21 AND THE PRODUCE AND THE WINE AND
- 05:24 THE GRAIN THAT WAS DUE TO HIM.
- 05:26 AND IN THAT PARTICULAR PERIOD OF
- 05:27 TIME HE WOULD ALSO THEN ENGAGE
- 05:30 IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.
- 05:31 AND THIS IS WHERE OUR WORD
- 05:32 "THE TRAVELING COURT" COMES FROM
- 05:34 OR "THE CIRCUIT COURT."
- 05:35 Tom: WELL, ROSS, YOU HAVE DONE
- 05:36 ARCHAEOLOGICAL WORK IN THIS TEL
- 05:39 IN TIMES PAST AND WE UNDERSTAND
- 05:44 AND HAVE HEARD ABOUT
- 05:45 THIS FAMOUS HOUSE OF DAVID STONE
- 05:48 THAT WAS FOUND HERE
- 05:49 A COUPLE OR SO YEARS AGO.
- 05:51 WHAT IS--HOW AND WHERE
- 05:53 WAS THAT FAMOUS STONE FOUND?
- 05:56 Ross: THE INSCRIPTION WAS
- 05:57 DISCOVERED REALLY BY ACCIDENT
- 05:58 AS MOST GREAT ARCHAEOLOGICAL
- 06:00 DISCOVERIES USUALLY ARE.
- 06:01 IN THE COURSE OF RESTORING
- 06:04 THE WALLS OF THE CITY SO THAT WE
- 06:06 COULD TURN THE SITE OF DAN
- 06:07 INTO AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK AND
- 06:09 VISITORS COULD COME AND SEE HOW
- 06:11 IMPRESSIVE THE FORTIFICATIONS
- 06:12 WERE AND THE PLACE WHERE
- 06:14 THE KING WAS SITTING AS WELL.
- 06:16 WE FOUND THESE ROOMS
- 06:18 ON THE OUTSIDE PIAZZA
- 06:19 WHICH WE'RE CALLING THE HUTSOT
- 06:20 OR THE BAZAARS.
- 06:22 AND IN THE WALLS THAT I'M
- 06:23 SITTING ON WE FOUND ONE PIECE OF
- 06:24 INSCRIPTION WHICH FOR THE FIRST
- 06:26 TIME OUTSIDE THE BIBLE GIVES US
- 06:28 THE NAME " BEIT DAVID."
- 06:30 IN HEBREW THAT MEANS
- 06:31 "HOUSE OF DAVID"
- 06:33 Zola: CHIEF ARCHAEOLOGIST
- 06:35 AND FINDER OF THE STONE,
- 06:37 DR. AVRAHAM BIRAN,
- 06:39 TRANSLATES FROM THE ARAMAIC
- 06:40 CHISELED IN
- 06:41 THIS MOST IMPORTANT FIND.
- 06:43 Avraham Biran: YOU SEE THE
- 06:44 WORDS ARE SEPARATED BY DOTS.
- 06:46 NOW THE EXCITING THING IS
- 06:48 WHEN YOU FIND SUDDENLY
- 06:50 AN EXPRESSION,
- 06:51 WHICH YOU KNOW VERY WELL
- 06:52 FROM THE BIBLE,
- 06:53 LIKE "MELECH YISRAEL",
- 06:54 "THE KING OF ISRAEL".
- 06:55 THE WORD "MELECH"...
- 06:57 KING...
- 06:58 "YISRAEL"...
- 06:59 OF ISRAEL.
- 07:01 "KING OF ISRAEL" WRITTEN
- 07:03 IN ANCIENT ARAMAIC SCRIPT.
- 07:05 AND BELOW THAT, ANOTHER LINE
- 07:08 AND YOU HAVE THE LAST LETTER
- 07:11 OF THE WORD "KING"...
- 07:13 OF THE WORD "MELECH"
- 07:14 SIMILAR TO THE ONE BEFORE,
- 07:15 THE LAST LETTER OF THE WORD,
- 07:17 "KING"...
- 07:19 HALF "MELECH"
- 07:20 AND THEN NEXT TO IT
- 07:21 IS "BEIT"...
- 07:22 "BEIT JUDAH"...
- 07:24 "BEIT"..."HOUSE"...
- 07:26 "DAVID"...
- 07:27 "HOUSE OF DAVID"
- 07:30 WITHOUT THE DOT BETWEEN;
- 07:32 NOW THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE
- 07:33 THAT EXPRESSION "BEIT DAVID,"
- 07:36 "HOUSE OF DAVID" WAS APPARENTLY
- 07:38 A KNOWN EXPRESSION.
- 07:41 Zola: DR. BIRAN RESPONDS TO
- 07:43 THE SCHOLARS WHO QUESTION THE
- 07:45 IMPACT OF THIS INCREDIBLE FIND.
- 07:48 Dr. Biran: THERE ARE SCHOLARS
- 07:50 WHO HAVE THEORIES THAT MOST OF
- 07:53 THE HISTORICAL EVENTS MENTIONED
- 07:55 IN THE BIBLE ARE POSSIBLY
- 08:00 LATE INVENTIONS AND WERE NOT SO.
- 08:04 AND SINCE THE HOUSE OF DAVID
- 08:06 FOR EXAMPLE, THE NAME,
- 08:08 THE EXPRESSION,
- 08:09 AND THE NAME "DAVID,"
- 08:10 FOR THAT MATTER,
- 08:11 WAS NEVER FOUND OUTSIDE
- 08:12 THE BIBLE, PEOPLE USED TO SAY,
- 08:15 WELL, YOU KNOW,
- 08:16 PEOPLE INVENTED A LEGEND.
- 08:19 SO NOW YOU HAVE EVIDENCE
- 08:23 ON STONE,
- 08:25 ENGRAVED ON STONE OF
- 08:27 THE EXPRESSION " BEIT DAVID,"
- 08:29 "HOUSE OF DAVID,"
- 08:31 AND I THINK THAT ENDS UP
- 08:35 WITH ALL THE DISCUSSIONS OF THE
- 08:36 EXISTENCE OF A--AND THAT MEANS,
- 08:39 " BEIT DAVID" MEANS
- 08:40 A DYNASTY OF DAVID.
- 08:42 AND THIS IS WRITTEN--
- 08:44 I CALLED YOU TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL--
- 08:46 THEY BELIEVE THE BIBLE
- 08:47 ON EPIGRAPHIC GROUNDS
- 08:48 IN THE 9th CENTURY,
- 08:50 SAY ABOUT 100 YEARS, 150 YEARS
- 08:54 AFTER DAVID'S EXISTENCE.
- 08:56 Tom: WE READ IN THE BIBLE THAT
- 08:59 JEROBOAM I, WHO BROKE AWAY
- 09:02 FROM THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM
- 09:04 IN JERUSALEM AND ESTABLISHED
- 09:05 THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF ISRAEL,
- 09:09 ESTABLISHED AT THE SAME TIME,
- 09:11 CULT WORSHIP OR THE CULT
- 09:13 WITH THE GOLDEN CALF.
- 09:15 AND ONE OF THE MAIN PLACES
- 09:16 WAS HERE IN DAN.
- 09:19 IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT
- 09:20 SUCH A CULT EXISTED HERE?
- 09:22 Ross: YEAH,
- 09:23 AND ONE OF THE EXCITING THINGS
- 09:25 ABOUT THE WORK THAT I WAS ABLE
- 09:26 TO PARTICIPATE IN IS SUPERVISE
- 09:27 AN AREA OF THE HIGH PLACE.
- 09:29 WHAT WE CALL "THE HIGH PLACE"
- 09:30 IN HEBREW IS " BAMA ."
- 09:32 THAT WAS THE SITE WHERE
- 09:33 THE GOLDEN CALF WAS ESTABLISHED
- 09:35 AND SET UP BY JEROBOAM.
- 09:37 NOW, THE CALF,
- 09:38 IN THE BIBLICAL TRADITION,
- 09:40 WAS NOT AN OBJECT OF WORSHIP.
- 09:42 IT WASN'T TO BE AN IDOL THAT
- 09:43 THE ISRAELITES WERE EQUATING
- 09:45 WITH THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
- 09:46 THEY WERE VERY MUCH LOOKING
- 09:47 AT IT LIKE THE CHERUBIM IN THE
- 09:49 TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM THAT SOLOMON
- 09:50 HAD BUILT AS THE THRONE
- 09:52 OR THE FOOTSTOOL FOR THE DEITY.
- 09:56 Zola: THIS IS THE ENTRANCE
- 09:57 TO THE HIGH PLACE OR "BAMA"
- 09:59 IN HEBREW.
- 10:00 ENTERING THIS GATE, THE PEOPLE
- 10:01 WOULD BRING THEIR OFFERINGS
- 10:03 AND BULLS AND YOUNG CALVES
- 10:04 FOR SACRIFICE.
- 10:06 THE METAL FRAME SHOWS
- 10:07 THE EXACT SIZE AND LOCATION
- 10:08 OF THE ORIGINAL STONE ALTAR.
- 10:10 PRIESTS WOULD ASCEND THE STEPS
- 10:12 AND LAY THE ANIMAL ON THE FIRE
- 10:14 OF THE ALTAR.
- 10:15 A FLAT STONE PLATFORM COULD BE
- 10:18 SEEN IN BACK OF THE METAL FRAME
- 10:20 ON WHICH JEROBOAM PLACED
- 10:21 THE GOLDEN CALF REFERRED TO
- 10:23 IN I KINGS 12:28-31.
- 10:27 Ross: WE HAVE IN THE DESTRUCTION
- 10:28 OF THE CITY OF DAN
- 10:29 BY THE ASSYRIANS, WHO ENDED
- 10:31 THE KINGDOM IN 733 B.C.E.,
- 10:34 WE HAVE A ROOM WHERE AN ALTAR
- 10:36 WAS FOUND WITH THE VESSELS
- 10:38 USED IN THE SACRIFICE.
- 10:39 WE HAVE THE IRON SHOVELS,
- 10:41 THE CENSERS THAT TOOK THE COALS
- 10:43 OFF THE ALTARS AND THE INCENSE
- 10:45 OUT OF THE INCENSE ALTARS
- 10:47 THAT WERE BURNED TO THE DEITY.
- 10:49 AND WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BRONZE
- 10:51 LIBATION BOWL WHICH WAS POURED
- 10:52 AS AN OFFERING TO THE DEITY
- 10:54 AS WELL.
- 10:55 Tom: SO THIS VALIDATES
- 10:56 THE HISTORICITY OF THE CULTIC
- 10:59 WORSHIP THAT WAS DESCRIBED
- 11:02 IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES?
- 11:04 Ross: IT GIVES US OUR FIRST
- 11:05 TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF WHAT
- 11:07 THE DIMENSIONS OF THE HIGH PLACE
- 11:08 ARE LIKE.
- 11:09 IF WE LOOK AT THE BIBLICAL
- 11:10 DESCRIPTION OF THE TABERNACLE
- 11:11 IN EXODUS IN THE TIME OF MOSES
- 11:14 AND WE LOOK AT THE MEASUREMENTS
- 11:16 OF THE HIGH PLACE,
- 11:17 THE ALTAR WHICH WAS 10 CUBITS
- 11:20 ON A SIDE ROUGHLY 5 METERS OR
- 11:22 ABOUT 5 YARDS TO A SIDE SQUARE,
- 11:25 THAT WAS THE SIZE OR THE
- 11:27 PRESCRIPTION FOR THE SIZE OF
- 11:28 THE SACRIFICIAL ALTAR MENTIONED
- 11:30 AT SINAI THAT MOSES WAS TO BUILD
- 11:32 FOR THE BURNING OF THE SHEEP
- 11:34 AND GOATS AND THE BULLS.
- 11:35 AT DAN WE HAVE AN ALTAR THAT
- 11:36 FITS EXACTLY THOSE DIMENSIONS.
- 11:39 AND THEN THE ALTAR IN THE
- 11:40 TABERNACLE IS TO BE 10 METERS
- 11:42 IN FRONT OF THE TABERNACLE WHICH
- 11:44 WAS THE TENT SHRINE THAT HOUSED
- 11:46 THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
- 11:47 AND IN THE HIGH PLACE,
- 11:49 WHAT WE CALL THE " BAMA ,"
- 11:50 WE HAVE A PODIUM, WHICH IS
- 11:52 EXACTLY OF THE SAME DIMENSIONS
- 11:53 AS THE SIZE OF THE TABERNACLE
- 11:56 OR THE TENT SHRINE
- 11:57 NORTH OF THE ALTAR.
- 11:59 SO THAT SHOWS US HERE
- 12:01 THAT IN ISRAELITE WORSHIP
- 12:03 THEY'RE FOLLOWING A FORMULA OR
- 12:05 A PRESCRIPTION THAT GOES BACK TO
- 12:07 AN ANCIENT TRADITION THAT WE CAN
- 12:09 DEMONSTRATE EXISTS HERE AT DAN
- 12:11 IN THE 9th CENTURY B.C.
- 12:13 IN THE TIME OF KING AHAB.
