Siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar 587 BC

I found this video on YouTube, it is a documentary on the siege of Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC. It is straight from the book of Jeremiah chapter 39 and the bible comes to life! It would be a good thing to share in church! The link to the video is below:

Proving Josephus: Research on Roman ballistics confirms Second Temple battle account

“With the help of the computer, I located all the ballista exactly where they were found. I took into account the local topography and the location of the Second Temple-period city fortification walls, and I made ballistic calculations, including the launching angle, and the throwing distance of the stones. All the data was compared to the renowned Jewish historian Josephus’s contemporary detailed descriptions of the battle, and the conquest and destruction of Jerusalem, in his book, The History of the Jewish War Against the Romans.
