FORENSIC INVESTIGATION OF SCRIPTURES
Some 5 plus years ago, during the year of the covid lockdown, I started a project to do a comprehensive study of the Bible. As is common with most people who have limited Bible knowledge, I read the Scriptures as I would read a travel journal, without looking for anything more than following the storyline. It was only when I realised that I was not seeing the bigger picture that I revised my program to a higher level of understanding, by listening to selected sermons by trusted pastors, and by tuning-in to Bible study sessions. This enhanced my knowledge of the past events, and gave me the drive to understand more. That was when I was introduced to Bible Prophecy, and my whole world turned upside down.
As a trained auditor, having experience of ‘forensic investigations’, but mostly in the financial business market, this experience has provided me with the ability to verify and validate information, statements, documentation and projections about the activity of such entities, and projecting into the future. Applying similar principles against the information that we find in the Scriptures, can be a real and valid motivation for a true understanding of the many prophecies that are recorded throughout the Bible. In any forensic analysis, one looks at the program in place, and the result that is anticipated, validating that the steps taken, meet the criteria laid down. This will provide the investigator with the truth and authenticity of these projections and give credence to the ‘Person’ that designed the package.
An intense study of Scriptures, on this basis, will also authenticate the design that God has laid down for the salvation of His followers of the Word. One does not have to be a ‘rocket scientist’ to understand this fact. One simply has to follow the instruction sheet, obey the rules, and apply oneself rigorously to the task, and with passion. It is the passion part that is so vital and important. It is not about ‘reinventing the wheel’. It is about listening to the advice from someone who has much more knowledge than you have. The key to achieving the goal, is by adhering to the proven steps that have been laid down.
The most noticeable theme throughout the Bible, is God’s never ending task of bringing His people back onto the right path. As mentioned in other articles, nearly 30% of the Bible contains prophetic passages, and a large portion of them applied to times that have already passed. Every prophecy has been fulfilled, exactly as predicted. I cover a number of these events in great detail, throughout these articles. As mentioned many times, prophecy is the ‘corner-stone’ to authenticate the truth of Scriptures.
So, some years back, my studying of the Bible switched further over towards an intense study of Bible Prophecy in order to clarify in my earthly governed mind, without any doubt, that the Bible was NOT just an historical record of mankind’s activities spread across the world. As a result, my initial approach to my studies changed, after which, so many events took on a totally new meaning for me. The prophecies in the Bible about future events, not yet taken place, can be seen as a pleading for everyone to “Wake-Up” and take note of the plan that God has for mankind. Throughout the Bible, covering a period of about 6,000 years, it portrays God’s constant plea for man to change his ways. It portrays God’s never-ending love for those who believe in Him though Jesus Christ, His Son. His offer is the free gift of everlasting, abundant life with Him, His Son and all His children (Fellow Believers). It is a simple ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
The final message is very clear. It is a message of hope, redemption and salvation, which can either be accepted, or rejected with consequences. The Bible clearly identifies these ‘consequences’. These will be explained, examined and clarified in future articles. It also offers the mechanism to follow the correct path. It is an investment for your future, a safe-guard against ‘falling away’ from the planned destination, available in the after-life. Life on this planet is just a tiny blip in one’s journey. God’s plan for the lifestyle of Believers, is an ‘Open Book’, available for all to follow. It just needs Trust and Obedience to His Word.
