Subject: Obscure "Current Events" in Scripture |
Bible Note: Obscure "Current Events" in Scripture ************************************************* I am beginning a listing of obscure references to some events that were current at the time of Jesus and Paul, but did not actually have a 'direct bearing' on the Gospel message, and they have little support outside of the context in which they are mentioned.. Is it any coincidence that all of these occurrences (that I have found) are found in the works of Luke? 1. The fall of the tower of Siloam (Luke 13:4) 2. Theudas and his following (Acts 5:36) 3. Escaped Egyptian who led 4,000 Assassins (Acts 21:38) These are references to 'current events' at the time of Jesus and Paul, simply put in the Bible, I believe, as a reminder to us that as we read of the events of Jesus and the spreading of the Gospel, that other things were naturally happening as well, which, in my opinion, makes the Bible all the more believable. Please feel free to include other such events if you can find them. Blessings to you, Makarios |
