Last week my wife Emma and I visited one of the most exciting places on this planet, which is the second most popular tourist attraction and happens to be in our country the United Kingdom.
This exciting, electrifying place is called: The British Museum. It is bursting with priceless treasures that illustrate a truth, which was waiting to be discovered. Many of them were buried and hidden on the earth for thousands of years waiting for those who would dig deep.

Only this time those truths would appear physically and would reveal the hidden secrets which would then become more valuable then a pearl of great price.
These treasures in The British Museum have immense religious, political and historical importance, which have been uncovered and involve an element of surprise. They are unlocking the most hidden secrets of the most glorious past of the Holy Land. Secrets of the most famous people in the world with many stories related to the Holy Bible.
Within my next articles I will be sharing with you some of these many priceless treasures in The British Museum.
Treasures like many clay tablets from past antiquities, famous peoples coins, Pharaohs in the Bible times, and ancient writings from lost civilizations, which confirm with Gods people and Prophets, places and stories told in our Holy Bible, that will take us back thousands of years to the beginning of time. These which will enlighten us and challenge us to the core.
This week I am kicking off with a person who was a Roman Emperor from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was around when Jesus was preaching. Many of us have wondered and imagined the face of Jesus. But what about seeing the actual faces of the famous people who may have seen the face of Jesus and listened to His teachings, who are well known in the Bible?
In The British Museum we can see 2000 years later the actual face of Tiberius. Real Faces of The Bible. Tiberius Julius Caesar.
Born Tiberius Claudius Nero, he officially became a Julian, bearing the name Tiberius Julius Caesar.
We find Tiberius in the Bible.
Luke 2:1
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar--when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene--Luke 3:1 Paying Taxes to Caesar
...And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any. Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?" But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?...Matthew 22:16 - 18.
I hope you agree, how lovely to see, how archaeology proves the Bible.
I am Simon Brown; join me again as we continue to see much more archaeology proving the Bible.
