King Jehoiachin in Babylon | Archaeological Evidence from the Rations Tablets | FAF #20

📜 In this episode of Faith Affirming Findings, Dr. Paul Weaver examines the archaeological and biblical evidence for King Jehoiachin during the Babylonian exile—focusing on the Babylonian Rations Tablets that mention the captive king of Judah and affirm the reliability of Scripture and the continuity of the Davidic line. 🔎 In this video you’ll learn: ✅ Who Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah) was and why he matters ✅ How the Rations Tablets reference the king of Judah in Babylon ✅ Evidence of preferential treatment and royal provisions in exile ✅ How this aligns with Nebuchadnezzar’s policies (exile, not execution) ✅ Jehoiachin’s release under Evil-Merodach (Amel-Marduk) ✅ Why this supports Messianic prophecy and Scripture’s historicity — ✝️ About Dr. Paul Weaver Host of Bible and Theology Matters and creator of Faith Affirming Findings, equipping believers with archaeological and theological insights. 🔔 Subscribe for more (biblical archaeology, theology, apologetics): 👉    / @bibleandtheologymatters   🌐 Explore more resources: 🌍 Website: https://bibleandtheologymatters.com 📚 Faith Affirming Findings: https://bibleandtheologymatters.com/f... 👤 Dr. Paul D.
