On today's podcast the Manna discovery is publicly presented for the first time. Our lively discussion brings to light many aspects of the manna discovery which are found in the new book, Bread from Heaven: the Manna Mystery Solved.The physical substance of manna, described in the ancient Old Testament, caused the Israelites to ask the question, “What is it?”The answer to this question has been a mystery for over four-and-a-half thousand years.Some have claimed that manna was secreted by insects. Others have relegated the manna account to a purely mythological category. Still others say that manna was purely miraculous, and it is not a physical substance that can be investigated.Manna is a mystery no longer. Using the data set provided by the biblical text, Dr. Gerald Aardsma is the first person to ever answer the ancient question, “What is it?” We can now understand not only what manna was, but also how it was produced, why it was absent on the Sabbath, and much more.Understanding manna production in the wilderness enables us to produce manna today. Now we can experience manna firsthand: how it looks, feels, smells, tastes, and behaves in different environments.The biblical account is simply historical.READ the full newsletter and show notes and view images online at https://www.biblicalchronologist.org/store/archives/BCM_September_2023.htmlSUBSCRIBE to The BC Messenger email list at https://www.biblicalchronologist.org/store/BCM_email.phpGot questions or comments?

-Jennifer interviews Dr. Aardsma (her father) on a variety of topics, centering on a comprehensive, scientific defense of the Genesis/Exodus record of ancient history. How do we know these things truly happened in the real world? Is Noah's Flood responsible for everything we see in geology? If Noah's Flood happened at 3520 BC, why do secular scientists not see this? These questions are discussed in the interview from Dr. Aardsma's unique perspective, as well as a number of other related topics.-Quotes of Note from the Interview:"The true Mount Sinai would never have been located if you don't get the chronology right, partly because we have this idea in our heads that whatever happens biblically has to... have an extraordinary appearance. You know, surely God would make it to be better than Hollywood.""Is there a signature of the Flood present in this sedimentary core from Elk Lake, or not?"-Give-aways and a special sale in celebration of our first year of podcasting.

Planting seeds in the earth reminds us of all the good fruit that can come forth from a small seed. As Christians, we are laboring to plant seeds of truth wherever God has called us, trusting Him to continue to bring forth a great harvest in His time. Don't forget that a seed of truth is alive and it is powerful, no matter how insignificant, inert (or even crazy) it may seem when it is planted.Discussion: Location of the Biblical Rephidim. Dr. Aardsma has recently identified the archaeological site that is the biblical Rephidim (a significant stop in the Israelites’ journey en route from Egypt to Sinai). In this place, Israel fought the Amalekites in the wilderness. When Moses held up his hands during the battle, Israel prevailed. Also at Rephidim, Moses struck a rock and water came forth for the very thirsty Israelites.Join us for a lively discussion, as we examine the biblical account in light of the location and archaeological finds at Be'er Resisim.Featured Video: Location of the True Mount Sinai.

This sure does get us into some interesting (even unexpected) territory—as the pursuit of truth always does.Discussion: Overview of the Missing Millennium Discovery. Chronology truly is the backbone of history. Biblical chronology is foundational to Christian apologetics. It is essentially impossible to defend Biblical historicity apart from a true and accurate Biblical chronology. Last month we explained how Dr. Aardsma came to the realization, decades ago, that a full millennium had been accidentally dropped from traditional biblical chronology. This month we will discuss how this works out biblically. How could a full millennium have been accidentally dropped?

In this video, Steve discusses the very real problem of early Old Testament biblical accounts oddly missing from the historical records and archaeological finds.
