Kibs. Well hey everybody listen glad to have you with this podcast right here with

11
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.480
us and you're probably going to see this a lot right now for a lot of reasons but

12
00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:07.040
one of them is the very fashionable well-designed cover to the new book that I

13
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:14.640
am not only excited about because I believe in it I wrote this book but I'm

14
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.440
supposed to promote it because I'm under contract to do that very thing and so

15
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:22.880
it's with the wonderful people at Harvest House publishers and they have been

16
00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:27.840
remarkable in fact they've been so remarkable I do believe we've signed at

17
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:35.320
least two additional new book contracts with them and there's going to be a

18
00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:39.620
study guide that's going to be coming out for this as well that's in the works

19
00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:47.360
right now but living in the days of deception and it's it's nearly 300 pages

20
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:54.640
and I'm very excited about it it God blessed it it took about a year and a half to

21
00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:02.440
do and but it's got great topics and very very very very so grateful to give a

22
00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:10.720
shout out to a former director of the CIA and of course the 70th Secretary of

23
00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.080
State and US history Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was kind enough to read

24
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:24.240
the book and write the forward to the book and a little back back behind the

25
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.760
scene stuff we were going to send him a part of the book because you kind of

26
00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:32.520
don't expect these guys of their of their caliber to read the whole book and

27
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:38.200
he said nope I have to read the whole book and I thought that exactly that's

28
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:42.400
exactly who he is Mike Pompeo a man of incredible integrity had to read the

29
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:47.560
whole book and so we're grateful but look forward everywhere if you would wherever

30
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.880
as they say these days wherever fine books are sold and that means Hobby Lobby

31
00:02:52.880 --> 00:03:00.160
that means Amazon that means Walmart that means a Christian books as well that

32
00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:06.360
means and it's coming out by the way an audio book audible dot com will be

33
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:14.520
coming out as well and producer is showing me a pre-order you can pre-order at

34
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.800
Amazon right now and if you do that by the way it's really I've learned so much

35
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:26.240
doing this because if you pre-order at Amazon I don't know why Amazon is the

36
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:31.000
God or the king of all this stuff but forget about New York Times best selling

37
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.840
books that New York Times that's out the door nobody even cares anymore it's

38
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:43.120
Amazon yes I know Amazon is a demonic nut job company but everybody who I'm

39
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.080
speaking to right now buys everything from Amazon and if you doubt it just go

40
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.840
look at your front porch there's gonna be some piece of junk you ordered on your

41
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.000
porch from Amazon look we are the children of Amazon it appears in this world

42
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:05.320
of ours I personally don't like it I actually don't do it Lisa does it for me

43
00:04:05.320 --> 00:04:10.880
so but you can order the book on Amazon and here's the fun thing about it the

44
00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:16.720
computer brain thing at Amazon records the book sales and then it pushes it

45
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.360
into categories and it's all done automatically electronically and that

46
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.360
bumps it up bumps it up on charts on Amazon and then companies decide hey

47
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:31.080
when a book breaks this particular threshold buy it and carry it in our stores

48
00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:35.040
they don't care that a Christian wrote the book all they care about is making

49
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.800
money we don't care about them making money we care about getting the truth out

50
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:46.840
so if you want to help join me in getting out how to discover and to discern what

51
00:04:46.840 --> 00:04:52.320
deception is living in these days of deception the word days DAZ like you've

52
00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:56.840
been smacked upside the head you got stars spinning around your head your eyes

53
00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:01.400
are all blurry well this book is written to help you with that listen today we're

54
00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:06.880

65
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:17.720
guy number one in this topic of Christianity the Bible faith how is it Jack

66
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:22.480
you've often said that there are religions in the world but Christianity is

67
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.800
not one of them but every but if I look it up in the Webster's dictionary Christianity

68
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:34.440
is considered a religion that's Webster's problem that's that's a mistake if you

69
00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:42.760
truly analyze and apply critical thinking and critical analysis to the claims

70
00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:48.800
of Islam for example you come to the conclusion that is a religion the same

71
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.680
rules apply to atheism you come to the conclusion that atheism is in fact a

72
00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.640
religious system it's a religious belief system even in Judaism now it doesn't

73
00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:04.560
need to be this way if the Jews would wake up and follow the scriptures but as it

74
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.440
is now with the Jews following traditions over the very word of God the

75
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:17.060
Old Testament and knew that though Judaism is in fact a religion these are

76
00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:27.320
all Jovo witnesses Mormonism behind Confucius what's up shintoism is a big deal

77
00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:31.200
of course mainly in Japan but it's a big deal what else whatever it is it doesn't

78
00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:38.000
matter whatever it is Christianity is the only thing when properly studied and

79
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:46.760
when applying critical thinking to it is actually not a religion allow me to be

80
00:07:46.760 --> 00:07:52.760
a blunt and a little bit lovingly sarcastic Christianity properly understood is

81
00:07:52.760 --> 00:08:05.920
quite an insult to the morality of man Christianity is as C. S. Lewis said the

82
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:12.460
great C. S. Lewis said that the reason why he became a Christian is because when

83
00:08:12.460 --> 00:08:16.720
he studied all the religions of the world Christianity was that belief

84
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.600
system with that was just queer enough because he said there is no way that man

85
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:27.480
would have fought this up on his own why because it doesn't make man look good

86
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:35.360
and almost every book of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation you've got man

87
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:40.680
stumbling over himself being the buffoon that he is and needing redemption so

88
00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:45.280
how do we know why should we even pay attention to the Bible let me give you

89
00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:51.360
these 10 considerations that I am plagiarizing from Charlie Campbell I'm gonna

90
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.720
give you a little bit he'll give you a lot of it at his website always be ready

91
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:04.880
dot com okay so number one fulfillment this is pretty cool stuff why does the

92
00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:11.320
Bible stand alone in Bible prophecy the Bible stands alone so dramatically in

93
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:20.080
Bible prophecy that scholars speculate those who are degree to doctorate or

94
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:29.160
experts in eschatology that is the words of future events eschatology the

95
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:34.320
science or the study of words of future events the Bible they argue is

96
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:41.240
somewhere between 27% to 30% eschatological meaning that it is Bible prophecy

97
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:50.880
and that it is either enjoyed fulfillment or it will enjoy fulfillment and so you

98
00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:56.160
have Bible prophecy and what's so amazing about that is take them the minimal

99
00:09:56.160 --> 00:10:09.320
number take 27% if 27% of your Bible so 27% of your Bible is prophetic you're

100
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:17.200
looking at this much of your Bible that is Bible prophecy that means over a

101
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.800
quarter of your Bible is of prophetic nature speaking about future events now

102
00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:26.840
some of those events have come to pass we know that for a fact I'm not going to

103
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.280
be labor you can look at look at them in detail by the way it will take you a

104
00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:35.920
very long time and to that I will commend to you the prophecy knowledge handbook

105
00:10:35.920 --> 00:10:44.440
by Dr. John Wolveritt the prophecy knowledge handbook by Dr. by Professor John

106
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:51.760
Wolveritt and so but fulfillment of Bible prophecy all of the prophecies in

107
00:10:51.760 --> 00:10:55.640
the Bible that were prophesied that have been fulfilled have been fulfilled

108
00:10:55.640 --> 00:11:02.240
exactly as they were prophesied in other words they are literal no matter what

109
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:08.040
your opinion is it's irrelevant the prophecies that have been stated have been

110
00:11:08.040 --> 00:11:15.960
fulfilled literally and those that remain we must assume based upon consistency

111
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:21.080
or constancy that those also will be fulfilled literally and I'll give you

112
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:27.600
just two examples number one is that the Messiah of the world would be born in

113
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:34.760
Judah in the land of Judah in the nation of Israel and in a little village called

114
00:11:34.760 --> 00:11:41.920
Bethlehem that had to happen guess what it happened another Bible prophecy

115
00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:49.520
says that the temple in Jerusalem the epicenter of all Jewish worship and

116
00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:54.840
sacrifice would not only some to be torn down that the house of God would be

117
00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:02.520
destroyed Jesus said that Matthew chapter 23 and 24 but that not one stone would

118
00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:07.760
be left upon another every single massive stone I've seen those stones with my

119
00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:11.840
eyes maybe you've been to Israel and you've seen those stones I mean some of

120
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:19.240
the stones are literally the size of an 18 wheeler box car in the back of a

121
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:26.560
truck or a train massive massive Bible says not one stone is going to be

122
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:31.660
left upon another that actually happened so do keep that in mind number two we

123
00:12:31.660 --> 00:12:35.880
not only go from the fulfillment of Bible prophecy Quran camp boasts that the

124
00:12:35.880 --> 00:12:39.800
Book of Mormon cannot boast that the Tibetan Book of the dead cannot boast that

125
00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:45.000
no other books can boast that the Jova witnesses cannot boast that only the Bible

126
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:50.320
can boast that fulfilled prophecy leads us to number two which is a blast 22

127
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:58.440
times I've taken people many many many people to Israel on our tours of Israel and

128
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:06.360
every one of our locations every single one why are they chosen as our

129
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:13.240
locations because in every spot I teach the Bible there why there because it

130
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:20.440
is an archaeological site how do we know because they dug up coinage pottery

131
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:30.520
inscriptions scrolls or even like Magdala Magdala Mary Magdala Mary of Magdala

132
00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:37.680
where a flood came rushing down through the valley that descends from Cana down to

133
00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:43.000
the northern Galilee not too long ago and washed away tons of debris and

134
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:52.400
unearthed the very first century village of Magdala and archaeological discovery

135
00:13:52.400 --> 00:14:00.120
Masada is there Miguel say what's Miguel you heard you've heard of the Valley of

136
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:05.760
Armageddon the Valley of Miguel that is an actual archaeological dig and I could

137
00:14:05.760 --> 00:14:11.360
take you we could fly right now from LA 15 hour flight and then about an hour

138
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:20.200
and 20 minute drive to tell Magdala and we will stand on the rocks and the

139
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:29.880
stables of Solomon's chariot and horse stables that are there the Valley of

140
00:14:29.880 --> 00:14:34.000
Magdala you can look from there and then we can just go to the left and go up the

141
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:39.120
mountain to Mount Carmel and not only that we can go to Mount Carmel where the

142
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:44.240
Bible tells us there that there was a spring that ran with water in the days of

143
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:49.480
Elijah and what do we find there's a spring of water that runs there exactly as

144
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:54.080
the Bible said thousands of years ago archaeological fact and discovery the

145
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.760
beautiful thing about the Bible is you can and by the way I do believe this is

146
00:14:57.760 --> 00:15:04.120
still true don't quote me but when I was younger the number one book of

147
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:11.040
of archaeological I don't say archaeological and authenticity but it was

148
00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:16.960
archaeological the Smithsonian Institute would read the Bible and then they

149
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:21.280
would get in an airplane and go to the Middle East and dig around and see if it

150
00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:27.120
was true and lo and behold bingo there it is there is the wall of nibi

151
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:32.920
kinesir in Babylon for example right outside of Baghdad that kind of stuff

152
00:15:32.920 --> 00:15:40.240
Bible 100% archaeological evidence is overwhelming no other book in the world

153
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:45.240
can boast that but the Bible nobody else number three is its internal

154
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:51.040
consistencies the internal consistencies of the Bible are amazing because the

155
00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:56.280
Bible is 66 individual books now listen my Muslim friends will tell me that's

156
00:15:56.280 --> 00:16:01.200
ridiculous that's why I don't believe in the Bible why because it's 66 different

157
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:06.960
books so there's got to be all kinds of mistakes with that while there's not oh

158
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:12.040
well you guys say there's 40 different authors that's correct oh there's got to

159
00:16:12.040 --> 00:16:18.720
be inconsistencies well there's not in fact it's written over about 1,500 to

160
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:28.280
1,800 years span okay and what you're talking about is authorship within a

161
00:16:28.280 --> 00:16:35.480
decade within a decade to 15 two decades from the very living and life of

162
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:41.080
Jesus written by eyewitness accounts you don't have that about the Quran

163
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:47.760
Muhammad is dead for at least I think 200 years before the Quran ever surfaces

164
00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:53.840
my friends so don't lay that on me that's not gonna work the Bible is the most

165
00:16:53.840 --> 00:17:01.360
authenticated authenticated book in the world and it's not only because it says

166
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:07.680
it is but its consistencies are so wonderfully perfect where you've got for

167
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:16.680
example Jeremiah a Green with Amos a Green with Ezekiel a Green with the

168
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:23.400
Book of Revelation a Green with Jesus and John's Gospel a Green with Moses and

169
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:29.200
Genesis 3 how do you do that when some of these authors never even lived in

170
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:35.160
the same era some of them not even on the same continent but there is this

171
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:40.680
remarkable incredibly awesome unity of the scriptures why how do we know this

172
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:47.040
how could somebody do this somebody did not do this the Bible tells us that

173
00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:52.920
the scripture scriptures were breathed by God the Holy Spirit through man the

174
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.880
scriptures were given man didn't make it up God used man to write it but God

175
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.000
inspired the man who wrote it now think about the miraculous working power of

176
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:09.040
that how does Peter write his first and second epistle without messing it up

177
00:18:09.040 --> 00:18:14.240
he poor Peter I love the guy messed up everything he did but he didn't miss

178
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:19.160
up his book because the Bible tells us that the Spirit of God was the one that

179
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.920
authored the book and you can read more about that in Paul's writings to Timothy

180
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.840
number four is extra biblical writings what do we have about extra biblical

181
00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:33.720
writings meaning what other things outside the Bible confirm the Bible's

182
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:40.280
existence great question easy answer and for the best answer ever if you're

183
00:18:40.280 --> 00:18:43.840
really serious about this and you've got some coin to throw down you can

184
00:18:43.840 --> 00:18:50.280
fly to London highly recommended you should go to London and take three days you

185
00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:56.680
need three days to go through the British Museum of History and there either

186
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:05.800
walk it yourself or go to the to the era or the the epochs of biblical timeline

187
00:19:05.800 --> 00:19:10.600
and you will be blown away man this is fun to say you'll be standing there in

188
00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:18.280
the British Museum and you're looking at Sonecker Sonecker's scroll Nebia

189
00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:25.360
Kinezzar's cylindrical scroll speaking to you as they rolled it into the

190
00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:33.480
wet sand in Babylonian you will find documentation there of somebody by the

191
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:39.120
name and title of Queen Esther by the way those of you who might live in the

192
00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:46.720
area of Oxford University England if you go right across the streets from the

193
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:54.680
famous cafe that forgot the name of the cafe that's across the street from

194
00:19:54.680 --> 00:20:00.840
the Ashmalion the Ashmalion Museum walk in there turn left get down to the

195
00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:05.320
end of the hallway turn right and right there in the corner is a writing down

196
00:20:05.320 --> 00:20:12.800
at about knee level there's documentation there from Queen Esther right out of

197
00:20:12.800 --> 00:20:20.520
the Bible authentic not these are not knockoffs and so you can look at things

198
00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:27.640
like that where there are the writings of historians like Flavius Josephus you

199
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:32.760
can look at the writings of the church fathers so you can read those guys

200
00:20:32.760 --> 00:20:47.160
100 AD 135 AD 185 212 AD 300 AD you can read them there's tons what about

201
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.880
the Roman what about now I know a lot of people I'm gonna I'll drop something

202
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.000
that's very controversial a lot of people don't like it a lot of people freak out

203
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.160
about it because it makes a particular denomination look bad but no one's

204
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:05.080
been able to disprove it but not only this book if you don't like this book

205
00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:13.040
then pick some other books but just the the annals the annals of Rome at the

206
00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:21.520
Vatican their volume of writing extra biblical writing that's they're on display

207
00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:27.040
either in the Vatican or in the vaults are absolutely awesome one is called the

208
00:21:27.040 --> 00:21:36.240
arco volume arco a r k o and it is a collection of writings between a herod

209
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:46.480
Caesar and it was an investigation that was launched by Rome regarding this huge

210
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:53.720
scandalous deal that happened about this carpenter who was crucified what in

211
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:59.880
the world is going on Caesar pilot I want an answer what happened and you can

212
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:05.440
go go ahead and look and read at the arco volume that was discovered in

213
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:11.600
Constantinople now it's been Islamisized so it's called Istanbul but it used to

214
00:22:11.600 --> 00:22:16.720
be called Constantinople but there's many other books on top of that so do keep

215
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:22.160
that in mind number five is science and discovery well we'll mention discovery

216
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.680
a couple of times because I love it the book is a book of discovery but science or

217
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:35.520
sciences and discovery it is and it's things like

218
00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:44.520
scientists and researchers such as Sir Isaac Newton who read claims in the Bible

219
00:22:44.520 --> 00:22:49.000
only to discover those claims were exactly true Newton said so himself he wrote

220
00:22:49.040 --> 00:22:54.000
about it by the way side note Sir Isaac Newton's the only guy that I know of in

221
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:59.880
science that wrote a commentary on the book of Daniel pretty remarkable some guy

222
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:05.320
by the name of Sir Robert Anderson picked up were Newton left off and Sir

223
00:23:05.320 --> 00:23:11.440
Robert Anderson was an inspector at Scotland Yard England and some people have

224
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.560
speculated I don't know if this is true or not but some people have speculated

225
00:23:14.560 --> 00:23:19.840
that the character Indiana Jones is actually built really upon Sir Robert

226
00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:23.240
Anderson not enough that's true or not doesn't matter but Sir Robert Anderson

227
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.920
was a brilliant man he wrote the book every Christian said on this book and

228
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.080
every every non-Christian should on this book everybody in the world should

229
00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:33.840
on this book outside the Bible and that is the book The Coming Prince by

230
00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:39.880
Sir Robert Anderson the coming prince it's all about not only the advent of

231
00:23:40.280 --> 00:23:45.480
the Christ that would come but the anti Christ that's coming amazing work I believe

232
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:53.040
he was knighted for that uh Robert Anderson Sir Robert Anderson but but

233
00:23:53.040 --> 00:24:00.800
sciences it was Christopher Columbus among other mariners by the way who

234
00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:08.440
believed that at certain times of the seasons the globe had currents that would

235
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:13.240
flow at certain times of the year based upon not only not only weather seasons

236
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:20.960
but wind and we also know that the ancient Polynesians figured out the same

237
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:28.000
thing when you look at the Marys are Marys I don't know how you guys say it

238
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:37.920
down down in New Zealand way the Kiwi way but the they were they were seafaring

239
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:44.120
you're talking about the deep Polynesians that came up from and eventually you

240
00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:48.800
look at that region deep southern Pacific that eventually migrated

241
00:24:48.800 --> 00:24:55.040
northern north westerly to the Hawaiian Islands and all of them studied the

242
00:24:55.040 --> 00:25:01.440
fact that the waters and seasons had currents well Solomon in the book of

243
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:07.240
Proverbs thousands of years earlier said oops by the way there's currents in

244
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.240
the ocean you'd be smart to learn about those and put your dinghy on there and

245
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:19.920
you can go to Hawaii not not bad advice um manuscript evidence this is kind of

246
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:24.280
fun stuff look I'm going from the top of my head here so I might be a little

247
00:25:24.280 --> 00:25:31.400
up and not far the most documented book in the world outside the Bible the

248
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:37.600
most documented book outside of the Bible in this entire world is Homer's

249
00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:43.680
Iliad and I believe there's something like I'll be generous I think there's

250
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:55.880
633 manuscripts available I think not more than that 633 most if you want to

251
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:03.000
say what can we know for sure we can know for sure that Homer wrote the Iliad by

252
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:11.720
the way we can't we don't know so sure about Shakespeare Shakespeare is a

253
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:16.080
pretty famous dude but you know what we're not sure what he wrote because a lot of

254
00:26:16.080 --> 00:26:22.280
people wrote in his name and there's a lot of things that were lost and filled

255
00:26:22.280 --> 00:26:26.240
in and things that were filled in that weren't lost a lot of stuff made up we

256
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:32.400
don't know we just know some stuff do you know that the most reliable research

257
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:43.040
scrutinized documented book in the universe is over 13,000 manuscript copies and

258
00:26:43.040 --> 00:26:48.320
that is the Bible and you don't have to get sidelined by well was that new

259
00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:55.920
King James or old King James was it the NIV or the ESV we're talking about

260
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:03.240
original languages Hebrew Greek Aramaic remarkable think about that by

261
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:10.880
the way go ahead for a further study and look at the Dead Sea Scrolls there's a

262
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.120
reason why in Jerusalem you go to the Museum of the Book and why you have the

263
00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:23.440
Bible there and why why it's why what they found in 1947 is so important to

264
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:28.480
display to the entire world listen this is crazy I was on a plane one time with

265
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.360
a bunch of people we're actually coming back we're coming from Israel to

266
00:27:31.360 --> 00:27:37.320
Toronto Canada Toronto to Los Angeles and on our air Canada flight the pilot

267
00:27:37.320 --> 00:27:41.360
announced ladies and gentlemen you might be happy to know as we leave Israel

268
00:27:41.360 --> 00:27:47.360
today that we have a very large portion of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the cargo

269
00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:52.640
bay of this aircraft that will be on display in North America and we like oh

270
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.960
and crazy because we're flying with the Bible and that was pretty cool the

271
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.680
Dead Sea Scrolls yeah to know about those things man because when they were

272
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:07.640
discovered they didn't deviate one Iota from the old King James manuscripts

273
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:12.320
think of that what you have to do in the old King James and what that ancient

274
00:28:12.320 --> 00:28:16.840
writing of the Dead Sea Scrolls revealed that in the manuscript translation into

275
00:28:16.840 --> 00:28:25.000
English it's spot on wow that was number six number seven is the just very

276
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.200
quickly number seven is a good point Charlie Campbell will really develop this

277
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:35.520
well and that is what I just call it is the defaming of man the Bible defames

278
00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:41.400
man if man wrote the book man would make himself the hero if man wrote the book

279
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:47.560
he'd make himself look good man didn't write this book for his own intent in

280
00:28:47.560 --> 00:28:53.000
fact the Bible defames man it's the Bible that says all men are losers all

281
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:58.880
men need salvation all men are lost all men by default are going to hell all

282
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:03.560
men need to be forgiven and that's an amazing thing because we all know down

283
00:29:03.560 --> 00:29:08.320
deep inside that we do need forgiveness and that's exactly what the Bible says

284
00:29:08.320 --> 00:29:18.160
number eight is this the fact that the Apostles and the disciples from the

285
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:24.720
first century most all of them suffered death by persecution

286
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.960
don't you think if they were all playing a joke that somebody would say when

287
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:34.600
they begin to cut your eyeballs out or burn you at the stake I was just kidding

288
00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:41.040
we just made it up not a one wow you know what a couple of months ago I was

289
00:29:41.040 --> 00:29:46.640
standing again in Oxford England and on that old cobblestone street in Oxford

290
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:55.280
there's a black cross there's a black X it's only about this big and there's a

291
00:29:55.280 --> 00:30:00.880
plaque on the wall and it says this marks the spot where the church reformers

292
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.920
stood up against the Anglican Church and demanded that the people have the

293
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:11.440
Bible themselves and the church burned them to death right there and it's

294
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.160
because you and I have a Bible today because of people like that that said

295
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:22.160
listen can't lie against the truth even to cost me my life persecution think

296
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:28.920
about that number nine the Bible applied makes for great nations God says in the

297
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:33.280
Bible numerous times if you just follow me I'll make I'll make you a great

298
00:30:33.280 --> 00:30:37.680
nation you say Jack that's regarding Israel well everybody at this time of

299
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.560
this podcast you need to pick one because there's a bunch of people griping and

300
00:30:41.560 --> 00:30:46.040
moaning and belly aching about Israel's not for real Israel doesn't count it's

301
00:30:46.040 --> 00:30:50.120
not a real nation it needs to be annihilated it should go away and the church is

302
00:30:50.120 --> 00:30:56.760
Israel the church is Israel that is so pathetically lame and unscriptural the

303
00:30:56.760 --> 00:31:01.480
church is not Israel Israel's not the church the two are totally separate the

304
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:05.560
only thing that we haven't common is that we believe in the God of Abraham Isaac

305
00:31:05.560 --> 00:31:12.840
and Jacob and that listen we must be saved by faith alone now Israel's waking up

306
00:31:12.840 --> 00:31:19.260
to this right now but bottom line is this remember this Jesus told Nicodemus

307
00:31:19.260 --> 00:31:25.440
the Jew you must be born again Nick to enter the kingdom of heaven or she's not

308
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:30.660
gonna go and that's true for you and I the Jews need to wake up to their

309
00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:36.320
salvation that's in front of them to be saved you and I as Gentiles we are

310
00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:40.880
grafted into the tree of what's been promised to them they're not automatically

311
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.280
saved because they're Jews they have to be born against it just like you and I do

312
00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:54.200
but when the Bible is applied it makes for a great nation John Adams wrote our

313
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:59.360
founding father wrote that if anyone were to if any nation on earth took the

314
00:31:59.360 --> 00:32:04.000
words of the Bible and applied them as their form of government they would be a

315
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:08.920
great nation that is so true in fact look how messed up America's America's in

316
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.940
the toilet let's let's be honest let's just stop with the games everybody's

317
00:32:13.940 --> 00:32:18.280
driving around in their Lamborghinis and their Ferraris nobody owns those cars

318
00:32:18.280 --> 00:32:25.480
everybody's broke it's a joke oh my house is worth 10 million bucks it might be

319
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.240
worth 10 million bucks but you can't buy it you can't buy it back you can't buy it

320
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:35.640
from the bank you don't have the money oh we're a free nation really I don't

321
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:41.520
think so we have no borders we're being invaded by the tens of thousands

322
00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:46.480
every week here just a hundred miles south of where I'm talking to you from we're

323
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:50.460
not a great nation anymore you want to know why Alexa the Tocqueville said why

324
00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:56.440
the Frenchman came after the revolutionary war and if the French government

325
00:32:56.440 --> 00:33:00.640
sent him and said go find out why America's so great these guys are brand new

326
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:05.360
and they're kicking everybody's tail they produce more they got factories their

327
00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:10.600
apples are bigger their corn is more productive what's with those guys so

328
00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:15.760
Alexa the Tocqueville and his agent came to America went around he took notes you

329
00:33:15.760 --> 00:33:19.280
can read it he wrote a book on it and he's writing and he's writing and writing

330
00:33:19.280 --> 00:33:24.120
and he goes I can't figure it out and he says I couldn't figure it out until I

331
00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:31.880
stepped into the churches in America and I got the answer that as long as

332
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:41.960
America is good it will be great but if America is no longer good it will cease

333
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:50.000
being great we're no longer good that's why we're no longer great make

334
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:56.360
America great again sorry everybody I think that ship sailed I hope there's a

335
00:33:56.360 --> 00:34:01.560
recovery among the church the nation in my opinion is over the only hope is that

336
00:34:01.560 --> 00:34:07.400
the church is revived and that's that's a think of the Bible the wherever the

337
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:12.080
Bible's applied there's a great nation Lisa and I were on vacation I got to

338
00:34:12.080 --> 00:34:16.880
move on I got to end Lisa and I were on vacation many years ago we've heard

339
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:21.540
all this talk like you have Cayman Islands the Cayman Islands so we thought well

340
00:34:21.540 --> 00:34:28.920
we have a timeshare let's go see and visit the Cayman Islands so we went and we

341
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:35.880
were going through customs to get into the country and there's a flag hanging

342
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:41.480
there and the customs agent has a patch on his shoulder and I'm looking at it

343
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:50.520
and it says about the Cayman Islands it says he has founded it upon the seas

344
00:34:50.520 --> 00:35:00.640
Psalm 24 verse 2 and I said to the border agent there's a Bible verse on your

345
00:35:00.640 --> 00:35:06.200
patch on your shoulder and he goes I love it he goes absolutely I go what's

346
00:35:06.200 --> 00:35:10.640

347
00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:16.880
that was us we're a Bible Island man I thought how cool is that so proud of

348
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:21.520
it he was try that in America today in US customs you get arrested by US

349
00:35:21.520 --> 00:35:29.200
customs finally number 10 is Jesus said what he said and he did what he said

350
00:35:30.640 --> 00:35:36.680
Jesus stop instead of the words of Jesus go to Matthew Mark Luke and John read the

351
00:35:36.680 --> 00:35:41.240
red letters of Jesus to get excited find out the claims that he claimed and see

352
00:35:41.240 --> 00:35:47.600
if he didn't follow through Jesus Christ is the reason why you should follow him
