Proof of God IV: 666 The Mark of The Beast System - Ep-09
This week’s podcast tackles the subject of The Mark of The Beast! If like me, you thought this was more Hollywood than hell related, I would definitely understand, however, after watching Brandon’s video on 666 and following the journey, I can see how this number, like the previous number repetitions in the Bible are specifically designed to reveal what is going on in this world. After listening to this weeks’ show, you too will realise that 666 represents a system, bent on destroying God’s people and with this number, it connects them all within the Bible, with the express intention of directing us to recognise the strategy is more active today than it ever was.

Proof of God: The Most Important Podcast Ever! - Ep 06
We don't say this lightly, but once you watch these videos you will agree! After watching a series of YouTube videos this past week, both of us are somewhat in shock to have discovered something everyone wants, i.e., Proof of God. To try and put this into a manageable explanation, a believer in the USA, Brandon Peterson, began using an online and downloadable software program called 'Pure Bible Search'. He then realised the number sequences, beginning with sevens. Now this is nothing new, however, once he knew what he was looking for the Bible revealed so many staggering number sequences and patterns it was confounding. In short, there were four videos. the first was in two parts, and the other three produced as individual videos. The videos and links are below (as promised in this podcast), watch them in the same sequence below: Sevened Part One - Jesus* + Christ* = (777+777) Mentions in the bible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccEGiVbujt4 Sevened Part Two – 7777 Mentions of… - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmkRvpUEdUk 153 Fishes: Blatant Evidence the Bible is from God - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdQLo8UQ27M 70x7: Jesus Proves His Deity with this Number - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lskgc8MTBmU 666 Discovery Utterly Proves the King James Bible is God’s Preserved Word https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNgYt4GZ9S8 To download all of Brandon’s graphics shown within the videos - https://truthischrist.gumroad.com/l/kjbcharts It just leaves me to say, I cannot encourage you enough to watch these videos. The structure of the numbering is jaw-dropping; however, the interconnectedness of both the Old Testament and New Testament 100% demonstrates this book was written with a clear understanding and 100% awareness of the beginning to the end. I have written an article about the first two videos with a list of the number sequences from both Part I and Part II - Take a look at The Standard Article here. Proof-of-god-mathematically-perfect-bible-from-beginning-to-end. The number sequences are established, crossing over between both the old and new testaments, proving God's authority and design from start to finish. Once you realise the supernatural nature and how God has presented this to us, I believe it will change the way people perceive the Bible and then will realise that the enemies of God have done everything they can to mislead humanity into believing that god does not exist and everyone can do what they want without repercussion. God wants you for eternity and satan wants you dead. Watch these videos and start over.

From Conspiracy Theories to Conviction: Embracing True Faith - Ep 04
We spend a great deal of time reading and researching biblical history as it helps frame our faith. One of the key elements is to understand that a book on its own is just a book, however when it comes to being factual, it must have more than one witness, i.e., others who can confirm its veracity or validity.
