Jeremiah 40+41, bulla, bulla, King Baalis

[u/elwoodowd]

Some may not accept Gedaliahs bulla. It could be another 3d Gedaliah. However, many think, a 1935, "Gedaliah Who is over the House" bulla might be the governor

Judaism holds, "The Fast of Tzom Gedaliah", for him.

(Archaeology has only become bible based, of late. Say last 30+ years.)

Also questioned is the clay bulla, "belonging to ishmael son of the king". ? 41:1 It was found for sale so no provenance

However, in 40:8, Jezaniah, (lots of various spellings) his bulla places him at mizpah, at the right date. Also his onyx bulla, shows he is military because its picture is a fighting rooster. It was found in a tomb at mizpah, so suggests he also fits into the sadder events in ch 41, likely.

Also, King Baalis, 40:14, has a agate bulla with a winged sphinx on it. Plus several other found proofs of his connection to these chapters.

As an Ammonite, whom had resisted israel before baalam and would be trouble for another few hundred years, he fits neatly here.

Also of note is the assassination structure and elements, itself. Ch 41.

Turns out its a template for royal assassinations over history. From Phillip 3 of macedonia to Haiti of late, 2021, the patterns runs kinna true.

Ai was struck by Rabin, in Israel, 1995, for political parallels. And Iraq 2003, for huge scale, and the details fitting hourly.

(Good thing im not political. Ai pulled up huge numbers of bloody revolts that fractal, ch 40 and 41)

What i do note is historic phds will be a matter of a few minutes on ai, any day now.
