Proof the Bible Is True: 9 Book of Revelation and Church History

By Timothy Duke

This book is not to replace reading the bible, my intent is to make it easier for you to read and understand the bible.
I believe the original words written in the Bible are inerrant.

Of course it is the only book ever written that contains prophesy written a few hundred years to several thousands of years before the prophesy is fulfilled accurately.
The Bible is the word of God breathe into the pens of 40+ writers that wrote the 66 books of the Bible over a period of 2,500 years.
The Bible is unique in that it contains 8,362 predictive verses with 1,817 predictions concerning 737 separate matters according to a biblical scholar, J. Barton Payne in "Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy". Our Messiah, Jesus, fulfilled over 300 predictions, precisely, in cases where the day was predicted, He fulfilled the prophesy on the exact day predicted. Prophecies are important in proving the authenticity of the Bible along with the Bible's integrated design, which is proven mathematically, microcode and macrocodes.

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.

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
