Bible In The News

This is another edition of the Bible in the News, and this is Paul Billington back with you after a few weeks absence. Well, the Battle for Bible Truth seems to have gained another small piece of evidence this week as a tiny Babylonian tablet has been deciphered at the British Museum in London, England. According to news reports the tablet is 2,500 years old and makes mention of a little known character by the name of Nebo-Sarsekim (or "Sarsechim" in the King James Version). He was a prince, or chief officer, of the king of Babylon--that is, of Nebuchadnezzar, and was involved in the destruction of Jerusalem in BC 588-89. The Biblical reference to this individual is found in Jeremiah 39:3.
