The focus of our study today is Isaiah 45. This is a prophetic passage in which the prophet Isaiah predicts the freedom of the people of God from Babylon by the hand of Cyrus. Critics of course point their guns at this passage, claiming that it was written after the liberation of the Jews. They argue that the Jews fabricated the story in an attempt to deceive people. Let’s establish at the outset that the main aim of the critics is to discredit the veracity and the power of biblical prophecies. Agreeing that these prophecies are legitimate will mean that the Bible is indeed the word of God and is authoritative. So they find cunning ways to reject the historicity of the Bible. But time and time and again , archeology has come in handy and corroborated biblical prophecies and facts. Today we are going to analyze Isaiah 45 and show that it is indeed an authentic prophecy, see video

hello this is
0:02
t.com and today again we are going to
0:04
authenticate a passage of scripture and
0:08
our Focus this morning is Isaiah 45 this
0:11
is a prophecy and we are going to see
0:13
how that prophecy was authenticated or
0:16
corroborated by King Cyrus cylinder now
0:19
Cyrus cylinder was discovered in an
0:22
exavation in 1879 and he has some pretty
0:26
interesting facts and I want to dive
0:28
into the that today
0:30
so let's go into my introduction and
0:33
let's get ready for this so basically uh
0:37
Isaiah 45 is a prophetic passage and In
0:40
this passage uh the prophet Isaiah
0:42
predicts the freedom of the people of
0:45
God from Babylon by the hand of Cyrus
0:47
the king Cyrus was a Persian king and
0:50
critics of course they Point their guns
0:52
at this passage and they claimed that it
0:55
was written after the liberation of the
0:58
Jews and basically they are saying that
1:00
the Jews kind of made up the story to
1:02
make it seem like God actually predicted
1:04
this event and
1:07
so they they kind of say that the Jews
1:09
are trying to deceive people so what I'm
1:11
going to establish at the outset is that
1:13
the main aim of critics is always to
1:16
discredit the veracity the truthfulness
1:19
and the power of biblical prophecies or
1:22
the Bible itself now if they agree that
1:24
his prophecies are legitimate it means
1:27
that the Bible is indeed the word of God
1:29
and the Bible is true and they don't
1:30
want that because that means he has
1:33
Authority so they find cunning ways to
1:36
reject the historicity of the Bible but
1:39
time and time and again archaeology has
1:41
come in handy and archaeology has pretty
1:45
much authenticated and corroborated uh
1:47
biblical prophecies and facts so today
1:50
we are going to analyze Isaiah 45 and
1:53
we're going to show that is indeed an
1:55
authentic prophecy so let's buckle up
1:59
and get into this
2:00
Sirus cylinder like I said uh siren
2:03
cylinder was discovered in um an
2:06
excavation that was done in 1879 and he
2:09
has been very instrumental in
2:11
corroborating biblical events and
2:13
prophecies so one of those important
2:16
discoveries like I said was the
2:18
excavation of Cy cylinder so he issued
2:22
uh the famous decree it's called the cus
2:24
decree that allowed captive peoples to
2:27
return to their own land
2:30
so um and critics claim that Cyrus never
2:34
mentioned the Lord but he mentioned Muk
2:38
now Marduk was a foreign deity he was
2:40
the Babylonian God and he was the
2:43
national god of the Babylonia of
2:45
Babylonia and he was Muk was believed to
2:49
be the chief god of the city of Babylon
2:52
so he was eventually called b or Lord
2:56
they called him there so again I myself
2:59
was taken back cuz I went to the Bible
3:01
Museum and I saw a document when I was
3:03
there that claimed that King Cyrus
3:05
mentioned Muk while the Jews claimed
3:09
that Cyrus was sent by the Lord so I
3:11
kind of like got a little bit like
3:13
fearful I'm like okay was the Bible
3:16
telling the truth or was the Bible
3:18
telling the lie so I kind of got a
3:20
little bit frightened I went home and I
3:22
dog through this I went and researched
3:25
the information I looked at Isaiah 45
3:27
pinned against s cylinder and it's made
3:29
aming the kind of discovery that you
3:31
make when when the Lord himself uh leads
3:34
you into this Quest so let's dive into
3:37
that so we are going to take a close
3:40
look at uh the words written on the
3:43
cylinder and we're going to pin those
3:44
words against the biblical text found in
3:46
Isaiah 45 that's what we are going to do
3:49
so what I'm going to do now is I want to
3:51
read Isaiah 45 I want to read like like
3:55
a chunk of it not going to read all of
3:57
it but a chunk of it and we are going to
3:59
go back and then pinned pinned against
4:02
um the cylinder words so let's pause for
4:05
a second and let's go to Isaiah 45 so
4:08
I'm reading from the
4:09
ESV now I'm going to take it one at a
4:12
time and you can follow on my screen so
4:16
thus says the Lord to his anointed to
4:18
Cyrus whose right hand I have grasped to
4:22
subdue Nations before him and to lose
4:25
the belts of Kings to open doors before
4:28
him that Gates may not be closed I will
4:31
go before you and level the exalted
4:34
places I will break in pieces the doors
4:36
of Browns and cut through the bars of
4:39
iron I will give you the treasures of
4:42
darkness and the HS in SEC secret places
4:46
that you may know that it is I the Lord
4:49
the god of Israel who call you by your
4:51
name for the sake of my servant Jacob
4:54
and Israel My Chosen I call you by your
4:57
name I name you though you do not know
5:00
me I am the lord and there is no other
5:03
besides me there is no God I equip you
5:07
though you do not know me that people
5:09
may know from the rising of the Sun and
5:11
from the West that there is none besid
5:14
me I am the lord and there is no other I
5:18
form light and create Darkness I make
5:21
well-being and create Calamity I am the
5:23
Lord who does all these things shower oh
5:27
heavens from above and let Cloud rain
5:31
down righteousness let the Earth open
5:33
that salvation and righteousness be bear
5:35
fruit let the Earth cause them both to
5:37
sprout I the Lord have created it wo to
5:40
him who strives with him who form him a
5:43
pot among Earth pots does the clay say
5:46
to him who forms it what are you making
5:49
or your works or your work has no
5:52
handles wo to him who says to a father
5:55
what are you begetting or to a woman
5:57
with what are you in labor thus says the
6:00
Lord to the Holy One of Israel and the
6:02
one who formed him ask me of things to
6:05
come will you command me concerning my
6:07
children and the work of my hand I made
6:10
the Earth and created man on it it was
6:13
my hand that stretched out the heavens
6:15
and I commanded all their host I have
6:18
stirred him up in righteousness and I
6:20
will make all his ways level he shall
6:22
build my city and set my Exiles free not
6:26
for a pricee or a reward says the Lord
6:29
of hosts and I'm going to stop here and
6:31
pause for a second and then we're going
6:32
to look at the side of cylinder we're
6:35
going to look at the translation of
6:37
it now you have to understand that when
6:40
this the cylinder was discovered it was
6:42
fragmented so there was fragment there
6:44
was some pieces that were missing so
6:45
when they translated it you will see
6:47
that it's kind of spotty so I'm not
6:49
going to read all of it I'm just going
6:51
to um focus on some key things here
6:54
number one say when and then two of the
6:57
four quarters and incompetent person was
7:00
installed to exercise lordship over his
7:03
country and then you have that that that
7:06
he imposed upon them a counterfeit of
7:09
isaga he made for her and the rest of
7:13
the cultic centers a ritual which was
7:15
improper to them an Unholy display
7:18
offering without fear he daily recited
7:22
irreverently he put an end to the
7:24
regular offerings and he interfered in
7:27
the cultic centers he established in the
7:29
secet sacred centers by his own plan he
7:32
did away with the worship of Mok the
7:34
king of the Gods he continually did Evil
7:38
against Muk City Daily without
7:41
interruption he imposed the corvy upon
7:44
his inhabitant unrel unrelentingly
7:47
ruining them all upon hearing their
7:50
cries the lord of the Gods became
7:53
furiously angry and their
7:55
borders the gods who lived among them
7:58
forsook their dwellings
8:00
angry that he had brought them to
8:02
Babylon Muk he exalted the lord of the
8:06
God turned towards all the habitations
8:09
that were abandoned and all the people
8:12
of su and aad who had become corpses he
8:16
was reconciled and had mercy upon them
8:19
he examined and checked all the entirety
8:22
of the land all of them he searched
8:25
everywhere and then he took a righteous
8:27
King his favorite by by the hand he
8:30
called out his name Cyrus king of ansan
8:34
he pronounced his name to be king over
8:36
all the world he made the land of gutium
8:40
and all the uman Manda bow in submission
8:43
at his feet and he i e Cyrus shepherd
8:47
shepherded with Justice and
8:49
righteousness all the blackheaded people
8:52
over whom he had given him Victory Muk
8:57
the great Lord guardian of his his
8:59
people looked with gladness upon his
9:02
good deeds and upright heart he ordered
9:05
him to go to the city he set him on the
9:07
road to Babylon and like a companion and
9:09
a friend he went at his side his vast
9:13
Army whose number like water of the
9:15
river cannot be known marched at his
9:18
side fully
9:20
armed he made him enter his City Babylon
9:23
without fighting or battle he saved
9:26
Babylon from hardship he delivered
9:28
nabonidus the king would did not reveal
9:30
him into his hands all the people of
9:32
Babylon all the land of su and aad
9:35
princes and governors bowed to him and
9:38
kissed his feet they rejoiced at his
9:40
kingship and their faces shown Lord by
9:43
whose Aid the dead were revived and who
9:46
had all been redeemed from hardship and
9:49
difficulty they greeted him with
9:51
gladness and praised his name I'm going
9:53
to stop here again you can see how
9:55
spotty this whole thing is but you can
9:57
understand there's some key things here
9:58
that I will show you in a little bit so
10:00
let's go back to uh the presentation and
10:03
we're going to look at those things that
10:05
I wanted to mention now I put them in
10:07
highlight okay my phone is ringing just
10:09
give me one
10:10
minute so this is Isaiah 45 ver 3: 5 so
10:15
we are going to pain this against uh cus
10:18
cylinder the words okay I'm just going
10:20
to read the Highlight we'll call you by
10:23
your name though you do not know me
10:26
though you do not know me right now
10:30
let's go back to let's go now to um the
10:35
the cylinders words had mercy upon them
10:39
took a righteous King his favorite by
10:41
the hand he called out his name he
10:43
pronounced his name I'm just reading
10:45
again the highlighted uh portions now
10:49
God said in Isaiah 45 even though you do
10:52
not know me I call you by name King
10:56
Cyrus let's understand that he did not
10:58
know the Lord
10:59
so the only term that he was familiar
11:02
with is the appalation
11:04
Muk and this is like something that is
11:07
customary of a lot of pagan Kings even
11:10
Nebuchadnezzar and many other foreign
11:12
Nations did the same thing like we will
11:16
see that in scripture they always called
11:18
the Lord Mighty gods or they used a
11:20
different term or different terminology
11:22
because they did not know the Lord
11:24
intimately they did not know his name
11:26
okay now let's look in 1st Samuel 4:8
11:30
scripture says this is the Philistines
11:32
talking woe to us who can Deliver Us
11:35
From The Power of these Mighty Gods
11:38
these are the gods who struck down the
11:40
Egyptians this is what the Philistines
11:42
are saying
11:44
okay so in Daniel 3: 24 then King
11:49
Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and Rose
11:51
up in haste and he declared to his
11:53
counselor did we not cast three men
11:56
bound Into the Fire and they answered
11:58
and said to the king true oh King and he
12:01
answered and said but I see four men
12:03
Unbound walking in the midst of the fire
12:06
and they are not hurt and the appearance
12:08
of the fourth is like a son of the Gods
12:11
now Nebuchadnezzar throws Shadrach Mish
12:15
and abedo in the fire and he sees four
12:17
people and he called the fourth person
12:19
the son of the God he is referring to
12:21
the angel of the Lord as the son of the
12:23
God because that's all he knows he
12:25
doesn't know that this is the Son of God
12:27
so he says the son of the god
12:29
Gods this is something that a lot of
12:32
pagan Kings did let's go to Daniel 5
12:35
verse4 now this is B shaza talking this
12:39
he's having fun drinking wine with his
12:42
buddies and the finger appears on the
12:44
wall and is a right on war and he wants
12:46
to understand what is being written so
12:48
he calls upon Daniel and this is what
12:51
happens now Bel shaza says I've heard of
12:55
you that the spirit of the Gods is in
12:57
you and that light and understanding and
13:00
excellent wisdom are found in you now
13:03
King Bel bazer refers to the spirit of
13:06
the Lord as the spirit of the Gods you
13:09
see he's talking about the spirit of the
13:11
Lord but he calls him the spirit of the
13:14
Gods CU he doesn't know any better he's
13:17
a gentile Pagan King so he doesn't know
13:20
that he not the spirit of the Lord but
13:22
he's a spirit of the Lord or the spirit
13:24
of God he's using the term Gods just
13:27
like his father used this the term son
13:30
of the Gods and this is the same thing
13:32
that King Cyrus is doing here okay we
13:35
are going to so that's nothing new like
13:38
I say because Pagan Kings they may still
13:41
have been God's instrument but they
13:43
didn't know him by name they only knew
13:46
him by character and that's important to
13:48
understand and this is what king Cyrus
13:51
is doing if you're a true biblical
13:54
scholar you will understand that the
13:56
only God who calls people by their name
13:59
and take them by their hands is the god
14:02
of the Hebrews this is how he basically
14:06
isolate himself from any other gods of
14:09
any other nations he's always saying
14:11
this these terminologies I'll call you
14:12
by name and I'll take you by your hand
14:15
this is a term that God the god of the
14:18
scripture uses all the time and then now
14:21
we're going to look at the character of
14:23
the god sarus is mentioning we're going
14:25
to look at it more there's a lot more
14:27
things that we need to look at like
14:30
the word justice is used 138 times in
14:33
the Bible and righteousness is used 273
14:37
times and then Justice and righteousness
14:39
together they occur 41 times in in in
14:43
scripture now if you look at SAR
14:45
cylinder in verse 13 He says I.E I put
14:48
I'm just going to read the red version
14:51
uh shepherded with Justice and
14:53
righteousness all the blackheaded people
14:55
okay now the god of the Bible always
14:59
defines himself as the God of Justice
15:01
and righteousness I'm going to show you
15:03
some scriptures in Isaiah 45 itself turn
15:07
to me and be saved all the ends of the
15:09
Earth for I am God and there is no other
15:12
by myself I have sworn for my mouth has
15:15
gone out in righteousness a word that
15:18
that shall not return okay First Kings
15:22
10:9 blessed be the Lord your God who
15:25
has delighted in you and set you on the
15:27
throne of Israel because the Lord loved
15:30
Israel forever he has made you King that
15:33
you may execute Justice and
15:37
righteousness this is the Queen of Sheba
15:39
the Ethiopian King she is praising
15:41
Solomon she's a gentile King and but
15:44
look at the words she's using to
15:46
describe God and His anointed King
15:49
Solomon she's using Justice and
15:52
righteousness now let's look more
15:54
there's more to come Psalm
15:56
33:5 he loves righteousness and justice
15:59
the Earth is full of the steadfast love
16:02
of the Lord now the psalmist is praising
16:05
God's character
16:06
more Psalm 89
16:09
89:14 righteousness and Justice are the
16:13
foundation of your throne let me say
16:16
that again righteousness and Justice are
16:19
the foundation of your throne steadfast
16:21
love and faithfulness go before you
16:25
basically the only God who found
16:28
Foundation is Justice and righteousness
16:31
is the god of the Hebrews so what do you
16:33
think Cyrus is talking
16:36
about make your conclusions okay sarus
16:40
did not know the name but he knew the
16:41
character so you know some of them by
16:44
their character okay so he's talking
16:46
about a God who administers Justice and
16:49
righteousness so what do you think sarus
16:51
is talking about let's keep
16:55
going the Good Shepherd okay now in ter
16:59
again cus used the term Shepherd
17:02
shephered right so again the shepherd
17:07
terminology is a very familiar term used
17:09
by the god of the Hebrews who calls
17:11
himself the only good and true Shepherd
17:14
now the term Shepherd is used 87 times
17:16
in the Old Testament and 24 times in the
17:19
New Testament this is based on what I
17:21
researched now L listen to this in Psalm
17:25
23 famous Psalm the Lord is my shepherd
17:29
I shall not want he makes me lie down in
17:31
Green Pastures he leads me beside Still
17:34
Waters he restores my soul he leads me
17:37
in path of righteousness righteousness
17:39
again for his name's sake this is
17:41
David's famous ssal everybody knows
17:43
about it Genesis 48:15 and he blessed
17:47
Joseph and said the god before whom my
17:49
fathers Abraham and Isaac walked the God
17:52
who has been my shepherd all my lifelong
17:54
to this day and this is Jacob He blesses
17:57
Joseph before he dies again again the
17:59
term
18:00
Shepherd and then 2 Samuel 5 in times
18:03
pass when Saul was King over us it was
18:06
you who led out and brought in Israel
18:09
and the Lord said to you you shall be
18:11
Shepherd Of My People Israel and you
18:13
shall be Prince over Israel again God is
18:16
very close to his people hence the term
18:19
the term Shepherd okay I'm going to see
18:21
one more thing and there are many more
18:23
use of this term and it's always
18:25
indicative of the Lord's like heart and
18:28
love for his people and he extend that
18:30
love to other nations now if you look
18:34
like there's two things that I want to
18:35
talk about right now I just want to
18:37
focus on that God is always close to his
18:39
people he has like a closed relationship
18:42
with his people and this is the
18:43
difference between theism and theism now
18:47
the theism is spelled t he i s m this is
18:51
the judeo Christian world view we
18:53
believe in one God who is invested and
18:56
involved with his people the is a god
18:59
that is distance he creates the world
19:01
and he just lets it run itself basically
19:05
he's not involved he's not actively
19:07
involved in the world that he created
19:09
now if you look at a good shepherd and
19:11
how cus is talking he can only be
19:14
talking about the judeo Christian God
19:16
because this is the god who is a
19:18
Shepherd who loves his sheep who is
19:20
involved in their lives I want you to
19:23
really pay attention to that let's keep
19:25
going
19:29
now if you look again on 15 he said he
19:32
ordered him like a companion and a
19:35
friend he went at his side he made him
19:37
enter his City Lord by whose Aid the
19:40
dead were revived who had all been
19:43
redeemed from hardship and difficulty
19:46
okay let's look
19:48
now the word of God is the only word
19:51
that can create by his word the universe
19:53
was formed and at his word syus the king
19:56
entered Babylon basically God Word is
19:59
Alive and God word can break things into
20:01
existence this is the only God that can
20:04
do that he can give an order that can be
20:06
that can create an action okay so pay
20:09
attention to that the next
20:11
thing like a companion and a friend he
20:14
went at his side this is syus talking
20:18
now in Exodus 33:11 what are we told
20:21
scripture says thus the Lord used to
20:23
speak to Moses face to face as a man
20:26
speaks to his friend again again a god
20:29
that is personal a god that is involved
20:32
this is not a a this is not deism but
20:35
this is theism okay T he e i s m when
20:39
Moses turn again into the camp his
20:41
assistant Joshua the son of Na young man
20:43
will not depart from the tent the god of
20:45
the Bible is the only one who has that
20:47
type of close relationship with his
20:50
people even Jesus called his his
20:52
disciples friends okay if you look at
20:55
John 15:15 what does it say no longer do
20:58
I call you servants for the servant does
21:00
not know what his master is doing but I
21:03
have called you friends for all that
21:05
I've heard from my father I have been
21:07
known to you again that personal Clos
21:10
neat relationship a god that is involved
21:13
with his creation
21:16
okay and then if you look in 19 Lord by
21:20
whose Aid the dead were revived who had
21:22
all been redeemed from hardship and
21:25
difficulty again this is cus cylinder
21:26
this is cus talking now what other God
21:29
can raise the dead but the god of the
21:31
Hebrews the god of the Holy scriptures
21:34
what other God redeems like the god of
21:37
the scriptures okay these are
21:38
terminologies that are like that are
21:41
like typical of the god of the
21:42
scriptures if you true Bible scholar you
21:45
will know that in First Kings 17:22 we
21:49
are told and the Lord listened to the
21:51
voice of Elijah and the life of the
21:53
child came into him again and he revived
21:55
this is when Elijah raised the Gentile
21:58
WI
21:59
from the dead at the commands of God
22:02
okay and in in Psalm 856 will you not
22:06
revive us again that your people may
22:07
rejoice in
22:09
you I mean this is incredible John
22:12
2:22 when therefore he was raised from
22:15
the dead this is Jesus his disciples his
22:18
disciples remembered that he had said
22:20
this and they believed the scripture and
22:22
the word that Jesus had spoken again
22:25
this is Jesus rising from the dead what
22:28
God does that the gaed the scriptures
22:31
and and so like I said the evidence is
22:33
overwhelming and you know that Cyrus was
22:36
definitely referring to the god of the
22:38
scriptures even though he did not know
22:40
him by name he knew him by character and
22:43
The Best Is Yet To Come CU I have some
22:45
more proofs for you guys like this is
22:48
incredible I'm a mathematician okay and
22:51
before I get into it I want to show
22:53
something else like I we are not called
22:55
to speculate when it comes to scriptures
22:57
but I can't resist the temp a just like
23:00
the late Dr R scroll used to say like
23:02
this is something that I want to kind of
23:05
speculate about the next thing that I'm
23:07
going to say now you have to remember
23:09
that Daniel was a high official in
23:12
Babylon and he served under
23:14
Nebuchadnezzar and also under the
23:16
Persians So Daniel was like highly
23:19
respected and I believe he was very
23:21
close to the king so he probably showed
23:23
him Isaiah
23:25
45 and can you can imagine what Cyrus
23:29
felt like probably fear and trembling
23:32
the first time he hears he hears that
23:34
his Conquest was prophesied before he
23:37
was even born could you imagine Daniel
23:39
going to Cyrus and say look this was
23:42
written about you in Isaiah 45 and he
23:44
shows it to him I mean back then he
23:46
wasn't like numbered he wasn't like
23:47
Isaiah 45 he wasn't numbered so he went
23:49
to him and show him the prophecy and you
23:51
can see Cyrus probably shaken cuz he
23:55
knows Daniel's character he knows that
23:58
this is a a man of his word this is a
23:59
man that he's respected so when he reads
24:01
those things he probably is fearful and
24:03
trembling because he has like the utmost
24:07
reverence for God I just wanted to
24:09
speculate on that so this is just my own
24:11
speculation okay don't take this this
24:14
take this as a grain of with a grain of
24:15
salt this is my own speculation now this
24:17
is what I wanted to tell tell you now
24:19
you can choose still to reject my
24:21
explanation this is because if you if
24:23
you have like a a Harden heart uh you
24:26
can say this is not sufficient evidence
24:28
but I'm going to show you something El
24:29
that's compelling okay now let's go to
24:32
Isaiah 7:14 we're going to go to Isaiah
24:34
7:14 and let's do that now so this is
24:38
the it's another
24:41
prophecy so Isaiah
24:43
7:14 God says therefore the Lord himself
24:47
will give you a sign behold the Virgin
24:50
shall conceive and bear a son and shall
24:53
call his name Emmanuel this is the the
24:56
Virgin birth this was prophesied this
24:58
was predicted by Isaiah the prophet this
25:02
is when Mary was going to have a son and
25:05
Isaiah predicted it now let's go back to
25:08
uh this presentation I'm going to show
25:09
you a couple of things
25:11
here
25:13
so
25:14
basically which of these two prophecies
25:17
was written first Isaiah 7 or Isaiah 45
25:21
I mean logically you know that it was
25:23
Isaiah 7:14 now Isaiah 7:14 was
25:26
fulfilled because Mary gave ver to Jesus
25:29
the Messiah the Son of God now which one
25:32
is harder to predict a closer prophecy
25:36
or a much farther one like if Isaiah
25:39
under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
25:41
and the Eternal God who is omniscient
25:45
can predict an event that will happen in
25:46
700
25:48
years how easy will it be to predict an
25:51
event that will happen in a shorter
25:53
period of time basically King cus
25:56
Deliverance of the people of Babylon
25:59
like if I can predict something that's
26:00
going to happen in a thousand years how
26:03
easy it is for me to predict something
26:05
that's going to happen tomorrow this is
26:07
my like I'm a mathematician so that's
26:09
just my own mind going like this like if
26:11
I can predict something that's going to
26:13
happen in like 10,000 years then it's
26:16
easy for me to predict something that's
26:18
going to happen tomorrow because God is
26:20
omniscient God knows everything he's he
26:23
doesn't have he doesn't have a learning
26:25
curve he's not learning new information
26:27
because he is eternal so to laugh at
26:30
this biblical prophecy is actually
26:32
ridiculous because we see them unfold
26:35
every time and the Bible has been tested
26:39
and he always standing strong so do not
26:41
lose like your confidence like this
26:43
gives me more confidence in the word of
26:45
God because the more you scrutinize it
26:48
the more it comes out to be true and the
26:50
truth so for me I love when the critics
26:53
bring this things I'm like okay now you
26:55
giving me more work to do and I know
26:57
because God promised in scripture he
26:59
said the holy spirit will guide you into
27:01
all the truth every time I encounter
27:03
these difficulties and I search by the
27:07
hand of God by the power of the Holy
27:08
Spirit the Bible always come out on top
27:12
but here's what's funny about these
27:13
critics they don't submit their own
27:15
document and their own ideologies to the
27:17
same rigorous authentication process
27:19
because they know if they
27:22
do then they're going they're going to
27:24
be found to be a lie so they don't want
27:26
to do that so I want to challenge you if
27:28
you're a Believer do not lose hope and
27:30
do not lose your confidence in the word
27:32
of God because the word of God is the
27:33
truth and it's been proven time and time
27:36
in the game so don't lose your hope and
27:38
I hope this helped you guys out and I'll
27:40
see you next time thank you and have a
27:43
wonderful day
