Ninevah (modern-day Mosul, Iraq) was one of the oldest and greatest citiesin antiquity. The area was settled as early as 6000 BCE and, by 3000, had become an important religious centre for worship of the goddess Ishtar. The early city (and subsequent buildings) were constructed on a fault line and, consequently, suffered damage from a number of earthquakes. One such event destroyed the first temple of Ishtar which was then rebuilt in 2260 BCE by the Akkadian king Manishtusu. The Amorites occupied the site and one of their kings, Shamshi-Addu I, added to the temple and left behind inscriptions recording his other construction projects. King Shalmaneser I (reigned 1274-1245 and also constructed the city of Kalhu) built a palace and temple there and is thought to be responsible also for the first walls surrounding the settlement.

Luke 9:28- there are multiple mountains that people think could be the mount of transfiguration. One such mountain is mount tabor, which was first suggested in the third century, and later re-suggested in the fourth and fifth century. More recently, people have suggested mount hermon, because it is the highest mountain in the area, and the mountain is described as a "high mountain" in scripture.

In Luke 4, it talks about Jesus being tempted by satan while He was fasting. Jesus wouldn't fall into the temptation because you're not allowed to eat while your fasting. Satan said he would give him everything he wanted and all of the authority he had, but Jesus still wouldn't be tempted.

Gailee is located beyond Mount Carmel to the northeast it then extends to Dan to the north. Most of Galilee consists of rocky terrain, at heights of between 500 and 700 m. Several high mountains are in the region, including Mount Tabor and Mount Meron, which have relatively low temperatures and high rainfall. The upper Galilee region contains some distinctive flora and fauna: prickly juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus), Lebanese cedar (Cedrus libani), which grows in a small grove on Mount Meron, cyclamens, paeonias, and Rhododendron ponticum which sometimes appears on Meron.

In the text, it speaks about Judea. Modern day Judea is in West Bank. I was able to independently verify this with several sites. Some images came up, and this is a picture of modern day Judea.  I went on an online site about Roman history, and it spoke about how Judea used to be a Roman city in the mountainous southern part of Palestine. This proves that Judea exists, because it was a city in the Roman Empire.

Gabriel, the angel, delivered several messages on God's behalf. In the bible, Gabriel has appeared to at least three people in the bible: 1) The prophet Daniel. 2) The priest Zechariah to announce the birth of John the Baptist. 3) The virgin Mary to explain to her that she would conceive and bear a son.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, was described by God as "highly favored" (Luke 1:28). Mary is also an example of Gods mercy. At a place in which the Lord spoke, a woman in the crowd shouted out " Blessed in the womb that bore you..." (Luke 11:27).

The passage in Luke 12 mentions that a crowd was gathering. I looked back to Luke 11, it didn't tell me. So I matched the passage to Mark 8 and saw that the crowd gathered near Dalmanutha. "Dalmanutha is only mentioned in Mark's Gospel, but the corresponding passage in Matthew 15:39 says, “And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala,” which has been identified with some certainty as the modern-day town of Migdal, located slightly inland near Israel's Ginosar Valley." The Luke 11 passage mentioned that they were in a boat going across a lake. And the modern day Dalmanutha is next to a very large lake, the Sea of Galilee.

Jericho
It is one of the oldest known cities in the world and dates back around 11,000 years. And back in Joshua when the Israelites circle the city they blow trumpets and the walls fall down. And many archaeologists have determined by the remains of parts of the city that the walls did indeed collapse. They tried to explain the walls destruction by saying it was caused by an earthquake, but it would have been a very strange earthquake to only allow the wall the wall to be destroyed. There is also one spot on the wall that did not fall on the north side, where the Bible said Rahab lived and the Bible said her house was miraculously spared. The Israelites were also noted as storming the city and destroying it with fire and a well known archeologist is quotes as saying, “The destruction was complete. Walls and floors were blackened or reddened by fire, and every room was filled with fallen bricks, timbers, and household utensils; in most rooms the fallen debris was heavily burnt.” Multiple archeologist groups from different places and time periods have all came to the same conclusion on how it was destroyed and they match up to the bible perfectly.
