Prophets, Pharaohs and Kings

Many biblical prophets foretold events that we can verify in the museum's galleries.

Many biblical prophets foretold events that we can verify in the museum’s galleries. Their supernatural foresight displays why Yahweh is the God of the past, the present, and the future.

We will move through many different galleries, looking at the myriad fulfilled prophecies across the millennia confirmed by the artefacts left behind. What happened to Pharaohs, Kings, and their people. What influenced their decisions and what circumstances were taken out of their control? Secular historians can’t tell us, but the Bible reveals in incredible detail God’s supernatural intervention throughout history.

On this tour

Some of what you'll see

  • Moses was told in advance by Yahweh that Pharaoh would let the Israelite slaves go. The identity of the Pharaoh of the Exodus and how he is linked to the Pharaoh of the Conquest of Joshua.
  • Extraordinary Isaiah! The Prophet who was powerfully used by Yahweh. Why do secular historians proclaim many Isaiahs? When the complete 'Dead Sea' 'Isaiah Scroll' was discovered how did this affect the critics.
  • Nebuchadnezzar's Forgotten Dream brought to life in the galleries of the empires it foretold.
