| 794 BC | Jehoash (alone) King of Israel 798-793 Amaziah (alone) King of Judah 796-792 BC 3 Shoshenq III, king of Egypt 825–773 B.C. The Merneptah Stele, dated to about 1206 BC and now housed at the Cairo Museum, offers the earliest historical evidence of a people called Israel. In 1968, Dever discovered an inscription in a cemetery west of Hebron, in the hill country, at the site of Khirbet el-Qôm, a Hebrew inscription of the 8th century B.C. It gives the name of the deceased, and it says “blessed may he be by Yahweh”—that’s good biblical Hebrew—but it says “by Yahweh and his Asherah.”  Asherah is the name of the old Canaanite Mother Goddess, the consort of El, the principal deity of the Canaanite pantheon. The Israelite prophets and reformers denounce the Mother Goddess and all the other gods and goddesses of Canaan. But Asherah was widely venerated in ancient Israel. If you look at Second Kings 23, which describes the reforms of King Josiah in the late 7th century, he talks about purging the Temple of all the cult paraphernalia of Asherah. Asherah even penetrated the Temple in Jerusalem.

So he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.” Jehosephat was almost killed for not listening to God. In 853 BC Ahab and Benhadad II (Aramean) joined in a northern coalition to stop Shalmaneser’s (Assyria) army at Qarqar on the Orontes River. Ahab is mentioned in Assyrian records. In an inscription that accounts a battle known as Qarqar , between Ahab and King Shalmaneser III of Assyria, Shalmaneser records the size of Ahab’s army that fought against him. It mentions the following: “2,000 chariots and 10,000 men of Ahab king of Israel.” The Battle of Qarqar is listed on the Krukh stela of Shalmaneser. King Ahab is mentioned on the Stela: 1.King Hadadezer himself commanded 1,200 chariots, 1,200 horsemen and 20,000 soldiers; 2.King Irhuleni of Hamath commanded 700 chariots, 700 horsemen and 10,000 soldiers; 3.King Ahab of Israel sent 2,000 chariots and 10,000 soldiers; 4.The land of KUR Gu-a-a (sometimes identified with Que – Cilicia) sent 500 soldiers; 5.The land of KUR Mu-us-ra- (sometimes identified with Egypt but possibly somewhere near Que) sent 1,000 soldiers; 6.The land of Irqanata (Tell Arqa) sent 10 chariots and 10,000 soldiers; 7.The land of Arwad sent 200 soldiers; 8.The land of Usannata (in the Jeble region of Lebanon) sent 200 soldiers; 9.The land of Shianu (in the Jeble region) – figures lost 10.King Gindibu of Arabia sent 1000 camel-riders; 11.King Ba’asa, son of Ruhubi, of the land of Aman (anti-Lebanon) – numbers lost. Archaeologists from Harvard digging at Samaria have found a palace that Ahab built which contained within it a room where ivories were stored. This room is mentioned in the bible in 1 Kings 22:39 which says:Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did and the ivory house which he built and all the cities which he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? God spoke against these houses in Amos 3:15: “I will also smite the winter house together with the summer house; The houses of ivory will also perish And the great houses will come to an end,” The Oriental Institute of Chicago, during excavations near Samaria, found the ruins of a temple built to Ashertoreth that stood during the reign of King Ahab. Near the site were found jars that contained the remains of infants who had been sacrificed in this temple. This find verifies that Baal & Asherah worship were common in Samaria at the time of Jezebel. 1 Kings 18:19 mentions that Jezebel (Ahab’s wife) surrounded herself with the prophets of Baal and of Asherah. Jezebel Seal. Below, The seal is inscribed with the letters “JZBL”. According to the bible, Jezebel was quite at home with sealing documents with a seal. 1 Kings 21:8 “So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent letters to the elders and to the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city.”  |

Year 10 From 1000 BC, most of Central America used similar types of calendars based on material objects and celestial constellations. The two most common calendars were the 260-day festival calendar and the 365-day solar calendar. The correlation between the two occurs every 52 years when both begin their new years. This is called the “Calendar Round”. It became important in Central American cultures. The 260-day calendar, called a tzolkin, consists of two wheels, a larger one of twenty days and a smaller one with the numbers one through thirteen. The number twenty was based on the digits of a “whole man” (i.e., fingers and toes) and the thirteen numbers represented their philosophy of thirteen directions in space. The early Central Americans believed that this ritualistic calendar represented an archetypal state of human and cosmic harmony. Each rotation through the thirteen numbers represents one “week” in this system. The first, sixth, eleventh, and sixteenth weeks were special and very important; they created the four divisions of their year. Each of the twenty days was associated with tangible objects or animals and a deity. This created a sort of permanent fortune-telling machine that guided their destinies.  All items used for guiding one’s destiny is an abomination to God for not trusting in Him alone for our destinies. |
