ANCIENT CHINESE LANGUAGE PROVES THE BIBLE
Ancient Chinese pictographs are silent witnesses, like fingerprints, of historical events reported in Genesis. In particular, the details of these word-symbols are clues that point to how the earliest Chinese must have known basic facts of Genesis 1–11 at the very time their pictographs were invented. Chinese is not an alphabet-based language—its word characters are both abbreviations of and combinations of picture symbols. The simplest symbols are combined to construct composite symbols that denote compound words. However, the actual pictures that were chosen, and especially their associated meanings, are what give us an amazing insight into Chinese history.
The pictographic clues to that mysterious past have remained hidden in plain view for thousands of years. Since Chinese civilization began soon after the Tower of Babel fiasco, the first Chinese settlers still had a fresh memory of mankind’s origins—from creation week to the dispersion of languages at Babel. Thus, they not only knew the history highlights in Genesis 1–11, but they would also have regarded those same events as important in human history and experience. It is unsurprising, therefore, that many of the picture-symbol characters, in the ancient Chinese language, match the thinking of a soon-after-Babel people who retained important memories of historic events reported in Genesis 1–11.
