The existence of God is an Axiom (a self-evident truth).  If I point to a large office building and ask somebody on the street how it got there, they would likely say people working for a construction firm built it.  We can only see the office building now, but its visible presence is the evidence the builder’s existence.  If I then point to a car and ask the same question, I would get a similar answer.  The highly complex design work, machining, electrical system, computer algorithms, systems integration, component fabrication, assembly, etc. highlights the existence of the builders as well as their great competence and understanding.  If I said to them that I think the office building and the car simply appeared from nothing, they would say, “I must be some sort or quack, only an idiot would deny the obvious existence of the builders.”   They’d say, “Matter doesn’t appear from nothing and then self-design and then self-manufacture and then self-assemble into a large highly complex integrated functional object!” 

If I then direct their attention to the earth and all that is in it, and above it, and highlight that its complexity is so unfathomably great that millennia of focused study by mankind has only scratched the surface of understanding, and then ask them where it came from, many will say, “I don’t know.”  Yes, the same folks that said I was an idiot for not acknowledging the “builders” of the office building and car will say in the same breath that other visible physical objects far more complex than our minds can comprehend suddenly appeared with no builder.  The existence of God is an axiom, i.e., a self-evident truth.  Looking in the mirror, or out the window, is all the evidence needed to comprehend the truth.

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Rom 1:20)

In life we have grown comfortable living in a world where the “unseen” governs the “seen”.  Our physics laws (truths) are not visible, yet they govern every aspect of our lives.  Once we discovered these truths humanity has become enlightened and empowered with great understanding and clarity.

As we observe and experience our human reality, it is clearly evident that more than the “unseen” physics truths govern our world.  There is awe-inspiring good and gut-wrenching evil, there are insidious lies and refreshing truths, there are innocent victims of great pain and there are perpetrators of great pain, there are oppressors and those oppressed, etc.  The Bible says that there is an “unseen” spiritual world interacting with humanity.  This is a spiritual battle in which humanity is both an unwitting soldier and the military target.

In the same way that viewing the physical world through the “lens” of our physics truths has resulted in great clarity and understanding; likewise, viewing our human reality through the “lens” of the truths in the Bible also results in great clarity and understanding.  The Bible’s perfect record of fulfilling 1800+ prophecies visibly announces to all mankind, throughout the ages, that the Bible is a source of truth that demands attention.  In our discussion on the Home page we learned that the Bible’s truths have not only stood unwavering under the tests of evidence, it has also demonstrated that it was impossible for the Bible to be written by man (as shown in the section “THE AUTHOR”).  The evidence includes physics, archeology, geology, statistics, etc. 

Anyone that takes the time to look at the Bible and the associated voluminous evidence of it’s divine authorship resigns themselves to one of two realms:  1) a believer in its truths; or 2) an intellectually conflicted soul subject to the endless anxiety of cognitive dissonance.  Most folks avoid taking an honest deep-dive into the Bible’s evidence and avoid the topic by adopting a belief of their preference.  No other belief-system can stand in comparison to the Bible because the Bible is true, and all history is overflowing with voluminous tangible irrefutable evidence.  Beliefs such as Evolution would fall in that category.  In the section “NOTHING BUT MEAT“, it was proven beyond a shadow of doubt that Evolution is impossible; the massive volume of physical evidence, combined with analysis across scientific disciplines, combined with the requirements of our physics laws, firmly establishes that Evolution is impossible (physics, statistics, geology, etc).  A person would need to agree to break the physical laws that we’ve build our industrialized world upon to believe Evolution.

Our chaotic world makes sense to true Christians since the lens of the Bible allows them to see the world through paradigm defining truths.  The Bible also prophecies what will happen next, e.g., a one world government will be established, the world leader will come to power through peace, a mark on a person’s hand or head will be needed in order to buy or sell, a one-world religion will arise, Israel will be attacked from the north by Russia + Iran + Turkey + several other nations while Saudi Arabia and the US watch from the sideline (God will miraculously fight the battle for Israel resulting in great devastation to the invading army), a peace agreement will be signed with Israel and the surrounding Muslim nations which will start a 7 year tribulation period, 3.5 years into the 7 year tribulation the world leader will break the agreement, during the tribulation period 2 Christian witnesses will be killed and it will be broadcast globally for everyone to see real-time, people around the world will exchange gifts in celebration of the death of the Witnesses, the witnesses will rise 3 days later to the awe of the global citizenship, there will be a meteoric event that causes massive global chaos and death, etc.  There are many more prophesies.  Unfortunately we are entering a terrible time in the prophetic timeline.

This series of these prophetic events was initiated when a landmark Biblical prophecy was fulfilled.  This milestone prophecy was that Israel would become a nation again in a day, after being gone for almost 2000 years.  This happened in 1948.  Can you image the Incas in South America becoming a nation again, with their land, cities, language, government, culture, etc.?  The Bible says the generation that sees Israel become a nation again will not pass away before the end comes – in 2018 they were 70 years old.  All that is described above, plus much more, will happen before this generation passes away.  Although it seems unbelievable, so did all the other prophesies before they happened, the fall of Babylon, the fall of Israel, the assignation of kings, the destruction of the temple, etc.  The Bible’s prophetic track record is perfect; all that the Bible says will happen, will happen.  A key prophecy relevant to true Christians is their Rapture (removal) to Heaven before the 7 year tribulation starts. 

The world has changed dramatically in the last 5-10 years; many of the prophesies above are relatively easy to see on their way…one world government, buying and selling contingent mark, real-time global viewing of 2 men dying, attack of Israel from the North by the listed nations, etc.

To be honest, now is not the time to sit on the fence.  Use your free-will to seek the truth with an honest heart and mind and you will soon be sitting in the arms of your Maker and Savior.
