Is The Bible Really True?


Mark of the Beast -Many have heard about the ‘Mark of the Beast’ but fail to realize just how close we are to seeing this passage fulfilled. Revelation 13:16-17 reads like this in the King James Bible, “And he causeth all, . . . to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Modern versions often say that the Mark will be ‘on their right hands or on their foreheads’. In 1998 the ‘Radio Frequency Identification Device’ (RFID) was developed, and today they have RFID microchips that are inserted under the skin with enough storage to keep a person’s financial history, health records, criminal records, and include GPS tracking capability. When the Apostle John wrote this about 95 AD, no concept of technology was even thought of. The only one way that John could have known about such a time is the Almighty God told John what to write. The God of Heaven said, “I declare the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:10). He knows that evil humans want to control the masses and such a mandate is coming.


Eyewitnesses - Having eyewitnesses is much better than hearsay. The Bible is full of eyewitness testimonies, not just meaningless words like many other books. Evolution has no eyewitnesses; however, Creation has an eyewitness, the Almighty Creator Himself. He gave us His eyewitness testimony in His Bible. One of the greatest proofs that the Bible is true, and that Jesus really did live, perform miracles, died, and rose from the dead is found in the eyewitness testimonies of his closest friends. Peter and John said in Acts 4:20, “For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” They were eyewitnesses of the Lord Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection and the wrote it down for us to read today. Peter states in 2 Peter 1:16 says that they “were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” John wrote in 1 John 1:3, “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,” Men who walked with the Lord Jesus for three years, testified that the Scriptures are true, and were willing to die rather that deny what they knew was true. A wise man told me, “Con men do not make good martyrs.”


The Real Mount Sinai - For centuries it has been believed that Mount Sinai was in the Sinai Peninsula. However, there seems to be no evidence to support this claim. Yet, when searching on the internet for Mount Sinai we come across ‘The Real Mount Sinai’ with evidence backing it up. This mountain in Saudi Arabia is near the Red Sea. The top of the mountain is black as if it were on fire, which backs up the account in the Bible. In Exodus 19:18 we read, “And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace.” The locals call this mountain ‘Jabal al-Lawz’ or the ‘Mountain of Laws’. They admit that this is where God gave His Laws to Moses. Other verses in Scripture refer to this event: Psalm 104:32 says, “he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.” Judges 5:5 says, “The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai.” This proves the Bible is 100% perfect and can be validated to anyone who is honestly looking for the truth. In the same area is a large split rock (Exodus 17:6) and the stones worn smooth from water.


Red Sea Crossing - The Children of Israel crossing the Red Sea is one of the most amazing events in the Scriptures, but some believe it is a fable. Although we cannot find any eyewitnesses (except the Almighty), could there be evidence today that proves the event really happened? The Bible states that the Lord prevented the Egyptians from attacking Israel from the rear. In Exodus 14:24 – 25 we read, “the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians . . . and troubled the host of the Egyptians And took off their chariot wheels”. Explorations on the sandy floor of a portion of the Red Sea found some interesting articles, such as Egyptian style chariot wheels that looked just like the wheels as seen in the Egyptian writings. They also found on the Red Sea floor bones that belong to horses. A simple internet search for ‘Chariot wheel in Red Sea’ will turn up various wheels found encrusted with coral. These chariot wheels reveal that the Red Sea crossing took place exactly as the Bible states.


Man and Dinosaurs Together – Scientists say dinosaurs became extinct millions or billions of years before man came on the scene. However, there is evidence to support the fact that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time. The Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, Texas displays a dinosaur footprint on top of a human footprint found in a riverbed. Over time the mud turned into rock, so each footprint is easily identified. We took this picture when we visited the museum. Both footprints are perfectly formed and undisturbed. This supports the Genesis account of creation found in Genesis 1:24-28, which reveals that the Lord created land animals, including dinosaurs, on the sixth day of creation, the same day He created man. Job 40:15-24 describes a land-dwelling dinosaur that "moveth his tail like a cedar”. (Verse 15). Secular scientists always discard clear evidence that disproves their evolutionary theory, but we are simply letting the facts speak for themselves. We will always regret doubting the Word of God!


cornReproduction - Science claims the earth is billions of years old, and teach that everything evolved, however, they have no tangible evidence to support their claim. In Genesis 1:11 we read, “And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.” This is evidence that we can examine. When you plant a kernel of corn, you always get corn. When you breed dogs, the result will always be dogs. When humans reproduce, the result will always a human baby. Everything reproduces after its own kind. Whether you plant a tomato seed, or cucumber seed, watermelon seed, etc., you will NEVER receive anything other than what you plant. God was the only Eyewitness, and Lawmaker. He gave us a book explaining what He did and how He did it. God provided an Amazingly Accurate Book telling us about Himself, His creation, and how He sent Jesus to redeem us from our sin. There really is proof that God exists!


Vegetable Connection #1 - There is an amazing connection between the foods we eat and the part of the body that each food benefits. When God created man, He knew that man would need nutrition from the fruits and vegetables that came from the ground. The Lord placed signs in the foods as to what part of the body it will benefit. Carrots are known to be beneficial to the eyes because they are high in vitamin A, a nutrient essential for good vision. It is amazing that when you cut a carrot, the center of the carrot looks like a human eye. The pupil, iris, and radiating lines look so much like the human eye that it almost seems like someone is looking back at you. It is true that science reveals that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to the eyes and function of the eyes. Proverbs 20:12 says, “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.” Only a Great, Wise Creator could make a vegetable to resemble the part of the body that it will benefit. Psalm 139:14 says, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” This is just one vegetable, but there are more.

tomatoVegetable Connection #2 - The tomato is another food that resembles the part of the body it benefits. Though many consider it to be a vegetable, it is botanically described as a fruit. The tomato is predominantly red, just as the part of the body the tomato benefits most, the human heart. A tomato is red and has four chambers, and so also the heart has four chambers and is also red. Tomatoes are packed with nutrients that can help you lower your risk of heart disease. Research has revealed tomatoes are also loaded with lycopene. Lycopene is a carotenoid, a natural compound found in bright red fruits and vegetables. Lycopene has many health benefits, including disease prevention and protection. Tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Not only do the issues of life proceed out of the heart, truthfully, when the heart stops, so does life. The Lord told Samuel in 1 Samuel 16:7, “for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” It is obvious that the Lord carefully designed the human heart, as well as the tomato to benefit man’s heart.

kidney beansVegetable Connection #3 - There are quite a few other vegetables that resemble the part of the body that they benefit. We know our Great Creator gives us insight on what foods to eat to help the part of the body they resemble. Genesis 2:9 states, “And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food.” Here are two of them. The first is named after the part of the body it benefits and it is also shaped the same. We are talking about kidney beans. Kidney beans are known for their healing properties, and they help maintain kidney function. They look exactly like human kidneys. walnutAnother food that resembles the part of the body it benefits is the walnut. A walnut looks exactly like a little brain. It even has a left and right hemisphere, as well as upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. When looking at the wrinkles or folds on the nut they appear to be just like the neo-cortex. Research has revealed that walnuts help develop more than three dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

avocadoVegetable Connection #4 - Genesis 1:31 says, “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Here are some other unique similarities between foods and the parts of the body they benefit. Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears focus on the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female, and they look exactly like these organs. Research reveals that when a woman eats a single avocado each week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. It is also profound in the fact that it takes exactly nine months to grow an avocado from bloom to ripened fruit. Avocadoes contain more than 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition.

grapesceleryVegetable Connection #5 - Grapes hang in a cluster, which is in the shape of a human heart. Also, each grape is shaped like a blood cell. Studies have shown that grapes are extremely helpful to heart and blood function. Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb, and other similar foods look like human bones, and they specifically target bone strength. These foods help replenish the needs of the skeletal structure of the body. The connection between these foods we have studied are irrefutable evidence of a Wise, Almighty Creator that cares so much for us that He provides hints for us in even the food He provides.


Not A Flat Earth - Many today know about Christopher Columbus and how he believed that the earth was round when popular science of his day believed the earth was flat. Not many people ask this question, “Where did Columbus get the idea that the earth was round and not flat?” Did he go to a soothsayer or fortune teller? Was it a lucky guess? Columbus was confident that the earth was round despite what science believed. He even had difficulty getting a crew. Columbus discovered the earth was round before he even set sail. He read and believed the Bible in Isaiah 40:22, which says, referring to God, “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth”. Columbus understood that God knew the shape of the earth because He made it. That creates another question. “How did Isaiah know the earth was round 2,700 years ago when they did not know that it was round in Columbus’ day just 530 years ago?” Isaiah was a prophet, not an explorer, but his knowledge came from the Creator, and he simply wrote down what the Creator God told him to write. Columbus believed that the Bible was truly God’s Words and knew God made the earth, so he trusted the Bible more than popular science, and we should too!


When Jesus Returns - In Zechariah 14:4 we read about the Lord Jesus coming back to earth. When the Lord returns again, the Bible says, “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” Geological studies reveal the Mount of Olives has a fault line running east to west directly under the Mount just like Zechariah 14:4 says. The prophecy was written about 520 BC and Zechariah wrote about the fault line because God told him about it. This is just another item that proves the Bible true. Zechariah would not know about a fault line under the Mount of Olives 2,500 years ago. He just wrote down in the Bible what God told him.


The Bible says in Genesis 19 that “the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven”. To the left we see Sulfur balls found at these sites. They are white and in a powder form. The sulfur found at these sites has been tested as being between 93% and 98% pure sulfur with trace metals such as magnesium to produce astounding heat that can melt stainless steel. The Brimstone found is significantly different to sulfur found elsewhere, almost as if this brimstone was specifically designed. Sulfur from geothermal regions is yellow, in crystal form, and has a purity of about 40% sulfur. These items prove what the Bible says.

God Protects Israel - God promised Abraham in Genesis 12:3, “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee”. This promise is still as valid today as it was 4,000 years ago when the Lord made it. Throughout history we see that the Lord has protected his people, Israel, even though there have been countless efforts to destroy them. God promised to bring Israel back into the land again (Jeremiah 12:15) and did just that when they became a nation again on May 14, 1948. In the Jewish Telegraph newspaper on July 18, 2014, a terrorist’s statement proves that Genesis 12:3 is still valid in the heart and mind of the Almighty. As Israel was dealing with the threat of terrorist rockets flying through its skies, the headline reveals God’s supernatural protection of His people. The headline comes from one of Israel’s enemies, which says, "Their God changes the path of our rockets in mid-air,". The enemy of Israel is admitting that their god is not able to overcome the protection of the God of Israel. The truth is God still protects Israel!


Cyrus – In Isaiah, God gives the name of a ruler about 100 years before he was born. His name is Cyrus, and the Lord says in Isaiah 44:28, “Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.”. This passage outlines what God had Cyrus do, such as rebuild Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. When this passage was written Jerusalem and the Temple had not been destroyed and would not be destroyed for more than 100 years. After the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon, the empire that destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, King Cyrus allowed God’s people, the Jews to return and rebuild the city. He also helped finance the rebuilding project just as Isaiah 44:26 states. Isaiah wrote these verses in about 712 BC and Cyrus was not born until about 612 BC. He became the ruler of the greatest empire in the world around 550 BC, about 150 years after the prophecy was given to Isaiah. Other amazing prophecies are Isaiah 44:27, which reveals “I will dry up thy rivers:”. Cyrus’ army conquered Babylon, which was built over the Euphrates River by diverting the river and walked into the city on the dry riverbed. Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”
