Is the Bible factual or not. Hear some incredible points to help discern as indeed our future depends on it--like it or not.  One is about a story of a wealthy  Yemenite woman in the time of the great famine mentioned in Genesis--her tomb was discovered with this inscription:

 " In thy name O God, the God of Hamyar, I Tajah, the daughter of Dzu Shefar, sent my steward to Joseph, And he delaying to return to me, I sent my hand maid With a measure of silver, to bring me back a measure of flour: And not being able to procure it, I sent her with a measure of gold: And not being able to procure it, I sent her with a measure of pearls: And not being able to procure it, I commanded them to be ground: And finding no profit in them, I am shut up here. Whosoever may hear of it, let him commiserate me; And should any woman adorn herself with an ornament From my ornaments, may she die with no other than my death."

Another discovery--explorers in Iraq in the nineteenth century found the inscribed clay cylinder bearing the decree of King Cyrus of Persia.  The decree include these words: “I am Cyrus, king of the world, great king...I gathered all their former inhabitants and returned to them their habitations.”

Food for thought again for such a time as this.
