When the guard picked up the forgotten Bible it fell open to the last book of the New Testament, a book called Revelation. The man began reading at that very spot, and soon discovered that all men will eventually be judged by God. Those who fail to accept God’s forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ, will die what the Bible calls a "second death"; eternal separation from God our heavenly Father. Dr Killel says the guard was deeply moved by this warning from God.

"If there is another life," the guard said to himself, "and if all those who have not accepted Jesus Christ will go for the second death, I don’t want to go to the lake of fire. If this is the second death, I will not go."

The guard wrestled with what to do for maNy days, but eventually he asked the missionary to tell him more about this Jesus who can keep a man from the second death.

Dr. Kilel says of this man "He remains faithful to this very day to the church of Jesus Christ. This man’s name is Jonadah (joe-NAH-duh). He’s now very old, but he has brought so many people to the Lord Jesus Christ."

Determined to make the ocean his life’s work, Maury won an appointment in 1842 to the forerunner of the U.S. Naval Observatory. Bringing modern scientific methods to bear, Maury revolutionized the creation of sea charts for wind, water and tide. He was also a driving force behind the creation of the U.S. Naval Academy. As a tribute to his work at the Acedemy Maury was buried on the school’s grounds in 1873. The inscription on his tombstone includes a portion of the eighth verse of the Bible’s eighth Psalm. The passage first came to Maury’s attention as his son read to him from the Bible.

At this point Maury interupted his son and asked him to read that last passage again.

Hearing that verse, Maury determined that if God’s Word said there were paths in the sea, then he would find them. In the year’s that followed, Maury’s research led to the first extensive charts of the ocean’s currents - the paths or rivers of the sea. His book on the subject is considered the first text of modern oceanography.

BIBLES FOR RUSSIA

 

Seventy years of communism left the Russian people hungering for God’s word. Hundreds of thousands of Bibles have poured into the former Soviet States in the last ten years, so what are ordinary Russians saying about the scriptures?"

 

Valentina writes to us from the city of Tula (TWO-luh) saying, "I have received a precious present from you, a Bible. I was so touched when I saw it. I am very thankful to you for not forgetting me. My invalid pension is very small, I would never buy such a precious book."

A letter from Siberia reads, "The Bible is a deep and multifaceted kind of book so that with every single reading of the same phrase I understand different things. I think the Bible is the book of answers for all our questions."

A Bible student in St. Petersburg writes, "I read the Bible with delight and constantly ask myself whether I act as the Lord wants me to act. Now I have real joy in my life - to study God's Word and follow his commandments."

And finally this letter from Gatchina (gash –HEE-nah), Russia saying, "The Bible is God's revelation from the heaven to the earth in the language of ordinary people. While reading the Gospel, I gradually begin to realize that the Bible is a special book, the main book for me."

Even more remarkable, the Bible was written over a period of about fifteen centuries. The biblical writers lived in various countries, were born of very different cultures, and spoke several languages.

The biblical writings themselves are also quite diverse. There are books of law, history, and biography. Books of poetry, prophecy, and doctrine. There are proverbs, parables and song lyrics. One book even includes sanitary regulations.

In spite of these barriers of time, language, culture and style - the Bible addresses a single theme with perfect clarity. That central purpose is perhaps best summed up in the famed third chapter of John, where it says,

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

God our Father has clearly gone to a great deal of time and trouble to make His Spirit breathed Word available to a lost and dying world. How sad that millions have never taken the time to read His message of hope and salvation.

So you might be surprised to discover that many of the legends of science were also believers and devout students of the word.

Sir Isaac Newton’s discoveries support the very foundations of modern science. He once wrote,

"I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatsoever."

Michael Faraday was a top-flight physicist who discovered electromagnetic induction, introduced us to magnetic lines of force and invented the electric generator. Faraday once said,

"The Bible, with nothing added to it or taken away from it, is the sole and sufficient guide for each individual."

William Herschel was a renowned astronomer who discovered a planet and confirmed the existence of binary stars. Herschel said,

"All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming the sacred scriptures."

"The nearer I approach the end of my pilgrimage, the clearer is the evidence of the divine origin of the Bible, the grandeur and sublimity of God’s remedy for fallen man are more appreciated, and the future is illuminated with hope and joy."

In the spring of 1844 Morse put on the first public demonstration of long distance telegraphy by tapping out a message in Baltimore that was received by wire at Washington in the very chambers of the U.S. Supreme Court.

And what first words did he send that day? "What hath God wrought?" Morse wanted to be sure that God received all the credit for his invention and the laws of nature that made it possible.

Rawlinson was amazed to see human carvings on the rock’s face. What appeared to be letters and words were etched into the stones’ face starting one hundred meters above the ground and extending up as high as four hundred meters.

Standing on a ledge only a foot wide, Rawlinson discovered three sets of parallel inscriptions. The first was in Persian, a language he knew. The other two were a mystery, but he assumed the message was the same in all three. Over the next four years, using a system of rope swings and ladders, the British officer carefully recorded every letter on the stone.

The two mystery languages proved to be Elamite and Babylonian. Neither had ever been successfully translated before. Rawlinson’s discovery cracked the code and allowed archeologists to decipher the writing on thousands of ancient artifacts.

The carvings were 2500 years old and recorded the conquests of a Persian King named Darius…the same Darius who figures prominently in the Bible book called Ezra. Just one of many Bible characters confirmed by archeology.

Of course, the largest museum in St. Petersburg, and the third largest in the world, is the Hermitage Museum, which contains millions of pieces of art created by the West European masters.

Most of the objects on display at the Hermitage are pieces of Christian devotional art, many based on stories found in scripture. But Galina was unaware of this spiritual connection because her atheist education omitted that important detail. Within days of her arrival in the States, Galina was given a Bible. As she read God’s Word for the first time, she began to recognize stories depicted in the artwork she’d shown thousands of times; classic works like Rembrandt’s "Return of the Prodigal Son."

Recalling her shock at realizing the true origin of Rembrandt’s famous painting Galina said, "Nobody mentioned that this Father was God Himself. No one mentioned that it is not an everyday story, but a parable of Jesus Christ. I had no idea that it is taken from the Bible."

How sad that millions worldwide have still not taken time to read God’s greatest work of art, the Bible. Hello, this is Harold Hazelip for the New Life Station, and I’d like to send you a copy of God’s message to mankind without cost or obligation. Here’s how you can get your free copy today.

Galina says, "To tell you the truth practically all pictures and sculptures in the Hermitage State Museum were created on Biblical subjects. So whatever picture you see you see something from the Bible."

Galina didn’t make that connection for herself until after she defected to the U.S. in 1988 and began reading God’s word for the first time. Suddenly, she had a wonderful new understanding of the inspiration for works like Rembrandt’s famed "Return of the Prodigal Son".

But there was one work in the Hermitage collection that communist propagandists did connect with the Bible, a rendition of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac. Galina describes how this painting, and the Biblical story that inspired it, was used to justify ripping Christian families apart.

She says the painting was falsely used as evidence that Christian parents sacrifice their children in barbaric rituals and so the children of believers had to be taken out of Christian homes for their own protection.

Placed in orphanages and raised by the state, the children of believers were indoctrinated in communist philosophy and so often lost all connection to their Christian roots.

The iron curtain is long gone, but atheist indoctrination still enslaves the minds of millions. Whatever has your mind enslaved, only the Bible can truly set you free.

Galina notes, "In the Bible there are so many expressions that we (Russians) use in our everyday life. Hundreds maybe, words and expressions and proverbs from the Bible."

For example, the Russian word for Sunday is "resurrection" - much better than our English word, which has a pagan origin. And the Russian form of the name "Herod" is used derisively for a person who is acting foolishly. Even the most common Russian expressions have a deeply spiritual meaning.

Providing another example Galina says, "Our Russian word for "thank you" is "spaceba" (spa-SEE-buh). Spaceba is the word which consists of three words, "God save you"."

Galina didn’t realize just how much of the Russian language was drawn from the scriptures until she defected to the United States in 1988 and began reading God’s Word for the very first time. The Soviet Union collapsed more than a decade ago, but millions of Galina’s fellow Russians are still not aware of their nation’s deep spiritual roots. And communism still holds nearly one-fourth of the world’s people hostage to atheist principles.
