AN interesting lecture on the subject of the Bible and Eastern Sculpture was recently delivered at the British Museum, and The Gospel Magazine gives the following summary of it:—”The lecturer, Rev. Dr. Samuel Kinns, author of Graven in the Rock, &c., pointed out the marvellous manner in which the historical narratives of the Bible are confirmed by the sculptures and tablets in the Assyrian and Egyptian galleries of the museum. He pointed out Sennacherib depicted before the gates of Lachish, on large slabs in excellent preservation; and on a terra-cotta cylinder his scribe has given the detailed account of the invasion of Jerusalem, which corresponds in minute particulars with the Scriptural record. Ahab and Jehu are mentioned on the black obelisk discovered by Layard; whilst all the narratives in Daniel were shown to be verified by the records of Nebuchadnezzar, this name being upon nine out of every ten of the millions of bricks scattered over the ruins of Babylon; the building of his temples and palaces, as well as the walls of the city, being also fully described upon his tablets. And, more important still, Dr. Kinns pointed out cylinders in the cases showing that Belshazzar was the eldest son of Nabonidus, and in Sir Henry Rawlinson’s opinion, united with his father upon the throne of Babylon. Besides this, on another tablet the account is given of Belshazzar’s death, and of his soldiers weeping for him at Akkad. Tablets were exhibited giving the account of the deluge, which also surprisingly agree with the Biblical story of that catastrophe. In the Egyptian galleries were shown sculptures of the Pharaoh of Joseph, the Pharaoh whose daughter took Moses out of the bulrushes, the Pharaoh at whose court Moses spent about forty years of his life, and the Pharaoh of the Exodus. There was also shown, in a very perfect condition, a statue from the treasure city of Pithom; besides a collection of endless other treasures more or less bearing upon the Scriptural narratives which every lover of his Bible ought to see, for such facts not only strengthen the faith of a believer but may also completely silence the sceptic.”
