The Joshua, Judges & Jesus Museum: A Tour Thru Biblical Archaeology | Jim Scudder & Scott Stripling

Step inside one of the most remarkable biblical archaeology collections in the world! In this episode of InGrace Israel, Jim Scudder tours the Joshua, Judges, and Jesus Museum in the Houston area with archaeologists Dr. Scott Stripling and Jordan Mcclinton, examining artifacts personally excavated from major biblical sites — many tied directly to the events of Scripture. From the actual gate sockets of Ai (Joshua 7–8) and Egyptian scarabs used for dating ancient strata, to the sensational Mount Ebal Curse Tablet bearing what may be the oldest known Hebrew inscription of the divine name of God, this tour connects the biblical text to the ground it happened on. Along the way, Jim, Scott, and Jordan unpack how these discoveries illuminate the historical and cultural backdrop of both the Old and New Testaments — and how archaeology continues to affirm the reliability of the biblical record. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to help others experience the truth of God’s Word. ➡️ Subscribe for more:    / @ingraceisrael   ➡️ Visit: https://ingrace.tv Get The Spiritual War Against Israel for your gift to InGrace! https://ingrace.us/israels-spritual-war/ Travel to Israel with us: Join Jim & Karen Scudder in February 2027 for the trip of a lifetime.
