ecently in Forbes Asap, James burke said this about truth, “In the late 19th century, at the University of Nancy, France, the recent discovery of X-rays convinced people that other rays should be there too. Sure enough, once some guy demonstrated N rays (named after the town), they became a hot ticket to a Ph.D . . . Then one day some American, who hadn’t heard about these rays, said the truth was that he couldn’t see them. Sure enough, when everybody looked closer, nor could they . . . This kind of collapse riddles the history of the so-called truth finding sciences. Here’s a list of the greatest hits of scientific theory collapse. For centuries it was known that disease came from miasma, a foul air emanating from marshes . . . and such creepy stuff . . . until 1884, when Louis Pasteur discovered germs. For centuries electricity was a fluid . . . until 1820. It was a well-known fact that rotten apples spontaneously generated little worms . . . until 1767. The atom was indivisible . . . until 1877 . . . Light was particles until 1801 when it became waves, until 1905, when it became particles again; until 1924, when it became both. And my all time favorite, the one that really makes my point: space and time were absolutes until 1886, when Ersnt Mach introduced the insidious concept of relativity and set the stage for Einstein.     In the end, the can of worms that Columbus opened with his trip to India is this: There is no truth to find. Truth is what you want it to be . . . (James Burke, Forbes ASAP, October 2, 2000).      What is truth? The answer is not found in my experience, for I have discovered that my emotions vary with the day of the week, the time of day, and even the thoughts I have. The answer is not found in broken, worn out, and dusty books or in current philosophy. The answer is not found in television, UFOs, the occult, or earth worms. Nor is the answer found in science, since it is evolving year after year, decade after decade, and century after century.      So where do we find truth? It is found in a source that is never wrong - in a source that achieves the impossible. Men exist today who know great volumes of information about the present; but if we can find a source that has accurately predicted the future, then we have found something that is dependable and humanly impossible to achieve.       Source of truth. The source of truth is the Bible. It never changes. It is always correct. Its prophecies have never been wrong; and in Daniel 11, we are going to find a list of predictions that even the majority of the critics of the Bible agree are very detailed, extremely accurate, and without mistake.      How do we know that God has spoken to us? Daniel 11 will be all the proof we need. The chapter contains the most detailed and lengthy prophecy in the Bible. Dr. J. Vernon McGee had this to say about Daniel 11,     This prophecy is rather complicated and goes into prophecy a little deeper than the average person likes to go into it. Most people seem to like the exciting, sensational part of prophecy, but they do not want to dig down into the Word of God to see what it really says. However, if you are one who enjoys a deep and detailed study of prophecy, you will be thrilled by this section of the remarkable Word of God.   We trust that you are eager to dig into the unchanging, prophetic, and divine truths of scripture.      Prophecy #1. Daniel 11:1 should not be the beginning of this chapter since the angel is continuing to talk to Daniel from the previous chapter.     And in the first year of Darius the Mede, I arose to be an encouragement and a protection for him. (NASB) Dan. 11:1         < Back   Next >
