Proof: The Bible Is True

By Timothy Duke

The Bible is composed of 66 books penned by 40+ people over 2,000 years. Since the Bible was penned by these people over several thousands of years, some skeptics cast suspicions that it was not integrated or true. The Bible can be proven, it is integrated and literal and authored by someone outside of our time domain. Every letter and every number was dictated by deliberate design of Elohim (God).
Prophecies are not to scare you or anyone else. They are to prepare the Believer for events when they occur.
To be a Christian should be a challenge. If you are not being persecuted, you are not walking closely with Yeshua (Jesus). We are told YHVH does not give us the Spirit of Fear in 2 Tim 1:7. Yeshua tells us in Luke 21:12, that before the start of the last 7 years, Daniel's 70th week or as commonly know as the Tribulation, Christians will be persecuted. Do not fear persecution, expect persecution if you are being righteous in YHVH's eyes.

The Holy Bible

The Bible is composed of 66 books penned by 40+ people over 2,000 years.  Since the Bible was penned by these people over several thousands of years, some skeptics cast suspicions that it was not integrated or true.  The Bible can be proven, it is integrated and literal and authored by someone outside of our time domain.  Every letter and every number was dictated by deliberate design of Elohim (God).  A really good introduction is given by Dr. Chuck Missler titled Chuck Missler End Times Scenario (part 1/6) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNyBLCZulNk . 

The 3rd commandment of YHVH (God) is

Deu 5:11  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.[KJV]

I grew up believing that it was about language or cursing using the Lord's name.  Dr. Chuck Missler proposed a different meaning that I now embrace.  I believe it means that if you say you are a Christian or believe in YHVH, then you should be a Christian or YHVH's child 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  You should not have to tell people that you are a Christian or wear a sign saying you are a Christian. People around you should be able to tell that you are a Christian without you telling them.  They should be able to discern that you are a Christian by your fruits and acts and words.  If you say you are a Christian because you are a member of a church or attend a Christian service once or twice a year or every week, but if you act like a child of satan the rest of the time, you are taking His name in vain.

To be a Christian should be a challenge.  If you are not being persecuted, you are not walking closely with Yeshua (Jesus).  We are told YHVH does not give us the Spirit of Fear in 2 Tim 1:7.  Yeshua tells us in Luke 21:12, that before the start of the last 7 years, Daniel's 70th week or as commonly know as the Tribulation, Christians will be persecuted.  Do not fear persecution, expect persecution if you are being righteous in YHVH's eyes.

Many skeptics have argued that specific books do not contain prophecy as they claim the books were written after the events and thus were historical books.  Archaeologists have found proof that the books containing prophecies were written hundreds or even thousands of years before the prophecy was fulfilled.  Professor Lawrence Mykytiuk confirmed 50 biblical figures in the bible and published in the March/April 2014 Biblical Archaeology Review from Purdue University.  What does the Bible say about prophecy?  It is the most important gift of Elohim [1 Cor 14:1].  Prophecy in the Bible is more important than witnessing Jesus on earth as it proves the Bible is the Truth. [1 Pe 1:19]  Only Elohim can prophecy with preciseness the events that will occur in the future, sometimes thousands of years in the future.  Biblical Scholars count over 8,000 prophecies in the Bible.  About 70% of them have been fulfilled, precisely.

Prophecies are not to scare you or anyone else.  They are to prepare the Believer for events when they occur. The last prophecy fulfilled is the return of Jewish people to the Promised Land [Isaiah 43:5-6 and Zechariah 8:7-8].  There are 2 other prophecies that have been partially fulfilled, Is 17 (Damascus)and Is 19 (Egypt).  Some of the most astonishing prophecy fulfillment were the 300+ prophecies that Jesus fulfilled.

The more you study the Bible; you will discover new meanings for various verses through asking wisdom from Elohim (God of Israel).  Is prophecy being fulfilled today?  Yes it is.  While most of the prophecies are related to the middle eastern nations, some prophecy is being fulfilled in America, today.  Remember the verse Ecc 1:9  The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. We commonly paraphrase this verse as History repeats itself.  A Messianic (Jewish person who believes in Jesus /Yeshua) Rabbi Jonathon Cahn wrote a book called the Harbinger.  He has made a movie that captures the essence of how America is repeating an old Jewish kingdom.  It is very good and relates to America's warning of September 11, 2001 or 9/11.  Collapse of AMERICA - September 2015 - Will The Stock Market Crash? Is This Real? WATCH NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TruPgFzkm0w.

Some of the prophecies being fulfilled today are Gen 3:15, Gen 19, Is 9, Is 17, Is 19, Ez 32, Jer 49, Jer 50, Amos 4:7 and Hosea 4. Luke 21:11 prophecy's the increase and intensity of earthquakes and pestilences on earth.  The Elam prophecy is about to be fulfilled Jer 49:36-39.  The prophecies in Psalms 83 and Ez 38-39, current events show how the enemies of Israel are being put in place to fulfill these prophecies.

Augustine discovered "The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed; The Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed". 

Most attacks on the authenticity of the Bible concern prophesy contained in the various books, more than 8,000 prophecies.  Daniel, Isaiah, and other books by prophets have been under heavy attack by atheists and agnostics.  In 2 Peter, YHVH (Hebrew name for the unpronounceable name of the God of Israel) dictates these words for Peter to write that tells us the prophecy in the Bible is more sure than witnessing YHVH speaking to His son during baptism and Jesus (Yeshua) being resurrected and ascending into heaven.  Today we see many magicians performing impossible acts and thus their eyewitness accounts of Jesus being crucified would be diminished.  Elohim is saying that foretelling future events (prophecy) that are proven hundreds or thousands of years after the prophecy is made is more important or sure than witnessing the life of Jesus or seeing His crucifixion.  No other book has ever had the accuracy of prophecy fulfilled and certainly not the number of predictions.

The King James Version (KJV) does not use the various names of Elohim that were contained in the original Hebrew text.  Perhaps the translators thought it would be easier for the average reader of the Bible to use the word God instead of all the various titles.  I agree with this concept as it does reduce confusion and makes the Bible easier to read.  We do not have to refer to a reference to find out what each name means nor if the scripture is talking about Elohim.  As I study the Word more, I get a richer meaning by knowing which Elohim's title is used.  The only English version that gives the original Hebrew/Aramaic title in the scriptures is the version named Halleluyah Scriptures.  This version is only for the dedicated person seeking more from the Word.  You can get it at  http://www.halleluyahscriptures.com/ .  It does come with a reference book to look up the various names and their meanings. 

Gods names-150c

2Pe 1:15  Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. ¹⁶  For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷  For he received from Elohim the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸  And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Some prophesy has already been fulfilled.  Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies during His life, crucifixion and resurrection.  Some of the prophecies were written a thousand + years before His birth.  Enoch stated the first prophecy.  Some of the prophecies are being fulfilled in our lifetime.  Hal Lindsey is a bible scholar of high renown.  Dr. Lindsey has researched the prophecies of the Bible and has counted over 70% of all prophecies have occurred.  All of the prophecies fulfilled are precisely fulfilled, just like Judas taking 30 pieces of silver to betray his friend and the 30 pieces of silver ends up in the Potter's hand [Zec 11:12-13].

Daniel 9:25 prophecies the exact day that Jesus would come to Jerusalem and be proclaimed King.  That day was over 500 years from the date of the prophecy.

Prophecies fulfilled, authenticate the Bible.  Peter tells us that prophecy is the more sure way of faith.  The Bible is the only book in the world that makes predictions/prophecies hundreds of years in advance and some are thousands of years before the event occurs.  The fulfillment of prophecy authenticates the Bible and proves that Elohim is outside of our time dimension. 

Some agnostic/atheist scholars have argued about the time certain books of the Bible were written.  The most attacked book is the Book of Daniel as it contains very detailed prophesy that has been partially fulfilled.  Many of the arguments are dismissed once the Septuagint (LXX) was authenticated as being written in 270 B.C.  The Septuagint was commanded to be written by the Greek empire and is well documented.  Archaeologists, many were atheists,  have authenticated the translation.  The Septuagint was a Greek translation of all the Old Testament books written in Hebrew and Aramaic and contained the book of Daniel.

The Muslims call Muhammad The Prophet.  I have searched the Quran and did not find even one prophecy from Muhammad.

J. Barton Payne in his Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy lists all the prophecies, predictive verses and how many predict different matters.  The separate matters is consistent with other subjects in the Bible.  There is not a book on baptism.  The understanding and practice and meaning of baptism is spread throughout the Bible.  In the same manner, there are more than one instance of a prophecy on an important subject.  Payne lists 8,362 predictive verses, 1,817 predictions and 737 separate matters. 

Elohim knew that people would try to remove verses, as the Gnostics did in Alexander, Egypt, so all major doctrines are spread throughout the Bible.  The Gnostics in Alexandra, Egypt were the first to remove verses and insert their own words.  Some churches today teach that they have replaced Israel in the Bible.  To avoid embarrassing questions, they do not teach the book of Revelation.  Revelation is the only book in the Bible that claims a blessing to all that read and understand it.

Others attack the Bible since it contradicts Darwin's theory of evolution.  The Darwinians have never proven the concept of evolution, yet it still is being taught in schools.  DNA was discovered and mapped.  Thereafter, because of the complexity of DNA, mathematicians and physicists quickly dismissed the Darwin theory of evolution as being impossible to occur as a random occurrence, as Darwin's theory proposes.  Human DNA has over 3 billion possible combinations.  The probability of a human DNA strand being formed in a random/Darwin process is 1 x 10⁶⁵⁰.  To put this probability into non-mathematics terms, it would be like winning every Powerball drawing, each drawing, twice a week, 52 weeks a year, for the next 10,000+ years.  Mathematicians and physicists consider any probability this large to be absurd to be done by random chance just as a person winning so many consecutive Powerball lotteries.

Astronomers have many problems to prove their theory of the Big Bang Theory which is simply put from nothing, a big explosion occurred and created the universe.  Some of the problems are due to time.  Time was first being proven by Einstein as being another dimension and was constant in its speed using light as his basis.  Now time/light has been shown that it is slowing down.  Some of the theories used to determine the distance of stars depended on the speed of light and the shift of certain colors of light versus time.  There are many quotes in the Bible as to Elohim stretching the heavens and now astronomers are beginning to believe in the heavens being stretched which would account for the jumps in the shift of the light spectrum rather than a smooth, continuous change. 

This change is familiar to us as a Doppler shift in sound.  When we are standing still, the sound of a police siren on a car coming towards us changes continuously and as it passes us and goes farther away it smoothly changes again.  What astronomers are seeing would be similar to us listening to a siren coming towards us and jumping pitches suddenly, multiple times, as it approaches us.  This would be accounted for by the police car moving in excess of the speed of sound for a block, slowing down to normal speed, then moving faster than the speed of sound again for a block, then slowing down repeatedly.  The same effect that astronomers are observing could be caused by someone, Elohim, stretching the fabric of the heaven instantaneously, thus jumps in the color spectrum of light. 

The scientific established community is fighting these proven theories, because accepting the theory would upset all the established beliefs or axioms.  A very similar reaction from the established scientific community occurred when Galileo, in the 17th century, when he published his findings that the earth revolved around the sun which was just the opposite that scientists and the Catholic Church believed.  They tried to burn Galileo at the stake for these theories which have been proven.

A quick analogy of Elohim's view of time is like us watching a long parade from a helicopter and being able to see the beginning and the end at the same time.

God place in time-150

Geologists are having similar problems with their theories that date earth formations millions of years.  The depth of the silt at the delta of the Mississippi River indicates thousands of years of deposit and not millions of years. 

Dinosaur bones have been found in Montana and North Dakota.  Bones were found and dissected.  Upon dissection, blood and blood vessels were found in the bones which indicate the bones were at most 20,000 years old and probably a lot younger.  Archaeologists claim that dinosaurs disappeared 65 million years ago.

The Grand Canyon formation is another problem.  The geological column used to date layers of earth has never been observed in nature.  In fact, layers have been observed in nature out of the order predicted.  The Grand Canyon is an example.  They had a major problem when dinosaur and man footprints were found in the same rock strata.  Archeologists and geologists have maintained that the times dinosaurs were on earth and died out were 10s of millions of years before man appeared.  These footprints on the same strata of rock create a big problem for them.  They have a problem when petrified trees are found extending through several layers of rock that represent 20 to 100 million years of growth if the trees were growing and alive during the formation of the various rock layers.

The chart below shows how the English versions of the Bible were created.  The Tyndale Bible was the first English version of the Bible in 1526.  The King James Version of the Bible was not created until the printing press was invented and the middle ages were over that suppressed laymen having copies of the Bible. 

The acronyms used in the chart are;

LXX = Greek Septuagint, completed in 270 B.C. after the Greeks conquered the world and made everyone speak and write in Greek, the text contains all the Old Testament plus some books that are not included, this was used by the apostles in spreading the word of Elohim after Jesus ascended

MT = Masoretic Text, is a Hebrew text and is currently used in the Jewish faith.  There are some 6,000 differences between the older Hebrew texts and the Septuagint, with 1,000+ being significant.  The original text is at the Leningrad Library.  It was created to differentiate the Jewish Bible from the Christian use of the LXX.

TR = Textus Receptus is the Latin version used to create the German translation for the Luther Bible.

NIV = New International Version uses modern English and is more topical in its translation.  This Bible interprets verses as the editors believe.  They give only their interpretation and scholars have criticized some of their interpretations. 

OL = Old Latin.  The Romans were conquers of the world and wanted everyone to speak their language, Latin.  As a result, they translated the Greek language Septuagint into Latin about the 3rd century A.D. 

Vulgate = The Old Latin version was updated as the Roman language of Latin evolved.

English Versions progressions-150c

The early editions of the English Bible were written knowing if they were caught, they would be burned at the stake.  Lay people were not allowed to have a copy of the Bible.

Which version is the best?  The one you like to read is the answer and know how it differs from the original text.  The differences are not only the translation of words or transliteration of names, some versions omit verses.  You should be aware that some versions are not as accurate as others and some leave verses out of the scriptures.  The King James Version [KJV] is the most widely read and has been in print over 400 years.  It does have a few translation problems, but these few instances are well known and documented.  So whatever version you like to read, check some verses and chapters occasionally with the KJV especially if your version does not make sense or feel right to you.  Also refer to commentaries of that version.  By reading several versions of the same verse, sometimes you will gain a deeper understanding of the verse.  Of course the best route to understanding a chapter or verse is to pray for Elohim to give you understanding.

A new version called the International Standard Version or ISV is not in print yet, only digital via an eBook at http://www.e-sword.net/ for download to your electronic reader/tablet/iPad. At e-Sword, you will download the basic information or KJV and then update/increase the versions downloaded by clicking on the Download tab and chose Bibles.  The big advantage of eSword is that you can switch between version easily for the same verse.  The other feature is that it is downloaded to your reader or laptop, you do not need to have an internet connection to read the e-Sword Bible.  If you prefer just an on-line Bible, there are several to choose.  I like the Blue Letter Bible the best as it makes it easy to switch to different version and has a vast library of commentaries on each book and chapter of the Bible.  You can access it at http://www.blueletterbible.org/. 

Some of the others like BibleHub.com displays several versions of a verse on the same page.  This is the link to it http://biblehub.com/text/genesis/1-1.htm. 

You might notice that Elohim was a mathematician as numbers are used to describe certain things.

The number 7 is sometimes related to Elohim but more accurately I believe it is
