John Zachary is a former Reliability Engineer and data researcher who uses scientific methods to study biblical prophecy. Can we determine whether the Bible correctly predicts the future?
John precisely dates the fulfillment of predicted events in a time-based prophecy. To do this, he uses the ancient Babylonian astronomers' lunar eclipse observations, corrected with NASA's scientific data to within one hour of the events. Analysis shows that time-focused predictive texts did forecast the future centuries in advance, down to the exact day of the events.
Welcome to 12-Minute Converse with Jesus Believers.
Speaker:God chose first to have a conversation with us, His creation.
Speaker:Our prayer is that this listening space brings growth and transforms your life forever.
Speaker:Praise God for you, John.
Speaker:It's a great pleasure to connect with you.
Speaker:What part of the world are you in today?
Speaker:I'm in southwest Florida.
Speaker:John, how is it even possible to dissect or encounter as much information as you've had and still remain, at least have some semblance of sanity?
Speaker:The data actually validates the Bible and I use NASA scientific data and we use Babylonian ancient astronomer data.
Speaker:We use the Babylonian data and then we're correcting it with NASA because it's accurate.
Speaker:Then we analyze it and scientifically date the prophecy of the 70 weeks to show that those predictive texts foretold the future precisely, centuries ahead of time, to the very day.
Speaker:So the data that I use validates the Christian faith and makes you happy and it's a great life.
Speaker:Anybody who reads what I wrote will have their faith also lifted up.
Speaker:The most recent review here on Amazon is, this is a delightful and challenging book, unique in the genre, thoroughly researched and exhaustively aborted.
Speaker:I stumbled upon the author via an interview he gave on a completely non-theological subject matter.
Speaker:I was intrigued by his conviction that science corroborates biblical revelation.
Speaker:It's a dense book that requires careful and hurried attention, not suitable for bedtime reading.
Speaker:Yeah, you wouldn't want to read it for that, might keep you up all night.
Speaker:Frankly, the book delves into details far above my pay grade, but the sheer volume of data is sufficient to give any honest skeptic pause.
Speaker:Yep, it will definitely.
Speaker:I mean, I wrote it for skeptics and believers.
Speaker:So that's why I say we do evangelism with these materials and we use videos, typically, you know, in Africa.
Speaker:We're getting ready to do affiliate marketing and mass educate entire nations with this information because it validates the reality of the Christian faith because it answers a question that nobody can answer, that only God can answer, and that is, can you foretell the future, centuries ahead of time, to the precise date, and the events on that day reveal spiritual purpose?
Speaker:And the event that
Speaker:reveals that is the destruction of Herod's temple, and this is why people are saying
Speaker:science is validating the resurrection of Jesus, because his death and resurrection replaced
Speaker:the Old Testament sacrificial system practiced in Herod's temple, and the destruction of that temple
Speaker:on that final day, and this time-based predictive text occurs on the 14,000th day in the time-based
Speaker:matrix.
Speaker:Well, the number 14,000, by the time I've been doing this 50 years, we find there are numerous 14,000-day consistent and repeating control periods that go from the era of Moses into the 21st century, so you see the hand of God intervening in human events to reveal what is true of the spiritual realm.
Speaker:How long did this book take you to pen?
Speaker:I started in 1973 because it was from preaching a sermon.
Speaker:My whole impetus for even beginning it
Speaker:was a spiritual experience because I was studying to be a pastor, and so in 1973 what happened,
Speaker:I was going to preach a sermon on the second coming of Christ, and some ladies got up and
Speaker:sang a song, I Wish We'd All Been Ready, they sang one line and I heard rustling above my head,
Speaker:and then I heard the word anoint, and it was like crystal clear, anoint, and then a ball of power
Speaker:came down on my head, eight to ten inches in diameter, and came about like three inches per
Speaker:second, you know, down into my chest, and when that happened, my right hand went straight to
Speaker:the top of my head instantaneously because I wasn't, I was taken by surprise, but that was
Speaker:the beginning, so 50 years, I've written several books, but each one is just a repeat, but it gets
Speaker:better and better, and so the current book is very advanced.
Speaker:Could you describe your relationship with God?
Speaker:In 1990, I think it was January 15th or something like that, we started a Bible study, and it was a singles group then.
Speaker:I was telling my co-leader some of the things that happened,
Speaker:like I just told you about being anointed, and she said to me, if you lay your hands on me
Speaker:and pray for me, I will be healed, and I said, I had never done that, but, and she said, well, you don't
Speaker:have to do it, that was her response, but when she said that phrase, you don't have to do it, I felt
Speaker:sparks of fire start going off all over both hands, and I said, well, I ask and you'll receive, and
Speaker:so she sat in a chair, I laid my hands, it was like a 30-second prayer, and I felt the equivalent
Speaker:of hot oil flow out of my wrists and hands into her head, and she was healed.
Speaker:Well, my hands turned red, they were so hot, they were like 120 degrees Fahrenheit, so did her head, same issue, and then from that day forward, the next day, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit every day, like tingling and fire burning in my hands, kind of like that.
Speaker:How has your journey with the Holy Spirit and God impacted your family life?
Speaker:Well, everybody is a believer, everybody goes to church, very, you know, in their level of commitment, but they basically have that commitment, you know, we pray for them, I know I prayed for like my son, because there was a time he went astray, and the Holy Spirit told me, you know, this is from laying on hands, told me, don't worry about it, He'll take care of him.
Speaker:That's true, that's what happened eventually, so it was a matter of just trusting and letting God work.
Speaker:Five years from today, you're listening to this conversation, what's a message you'd leave for future John?
Speaker:Christ is real, and open your heart and life to Him, prepare to live forever, because that's what's going to happen.
Speaker:Everybody on the planet will live forever, and you need Christ in your life, and then I'm looking forward to hugging you in heaven, no matter who you are.
Speaker:John, this has been a great pleasure, in closing, is there anything else you'd like to share with our amazing audience?
Speaker:Read the book, and God bless you, and if I don't see you in this life, we'll meet in the next.
Speaker:We can't begin to imagine what it's going to be like.
Speaker:John, a pleasure, I treasure, thank you for being on What is Inspired by 12 Minute Converse.
