When Science Proves the Bible: 14,000 Days of Divine Control with John Zachary

from Just Talkin' About Jesus · host Jan Johnson

Send me a text and let me know your thoughts!What if you could use NASA eclipse data and ancient Babylonian star charts to verify that God has been orchestrating human history for thousands of years? That’s exactly what this week’s guest, John Zachary, has spent half a century doing.A former aerospace engineer who worked on fighter pilot ejection systems, John discovered that the Bible contains mathematically precise, repeating 14,000-day prophetic cycles—from the Ark of the Covenant’s movement under Moses, to the destruction of three temples, to the very day of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. The confidence level of his scientific dating? One chance in 10 to the 66th power of being wrong. Jan and John explore how “database theology” validates Scripture, why the destruction of Herod’s Temple was the ultimate proof that Jesus’ sacrifice replaced the Old Testament sacrificial system, and how two Roman soldiers unknowingly fulfilled a 14,000-day divine countdown when they set the temple on fire.•       Daniel 9:24-27 — The 70 Weeks prophecy; the Messiah will be cut off; foretells the destruction of the temple and the sacrificial system•       Numbers 10:11 — The exact date the Ark of the Covenant began moving in the desert; the starting point of John’s 14,000-day calculationhttps://uppbeat.io/t/aaron-paul-low/essence-of-lightLicense code: ZML1ML0ELF5JH4VJ•       00:00 — Introduction & Welcome•       01:15 — John’s background: aerospace reliability engineering & fighter pilot ejection systems•       08:30 — Writing the book: Holy Spirit confirmation in 1987 and early faith responses•       12:00 — What is “database theology” and why does science validate Scripture?•       15:45 — How John uses NASA data and Babylonian astronomical tablets to date biblical events•       20:00 — Daniel 9 and the 70 Weeks prophecy explained•       24:30 — The 14,000-day cycle: from Moses & the Ark of the Covenant to the crossing of the Jordan•       29:00 — Three temples, same day: Solomon’s, Ezekiel’s, and Herod’s—all at 14,000 days•       34:00 — Jesus’ death & resurrection as the end of the Old Testament sacrificial system•       38:30 — The two Roman soldiers who set Herod’s Temple on fire—Josephus as eyewitness•       43:00 — The 360-day biblical calendar in Revelation, Genesis, and Numbers•       47:30 — The confidence level: 1 in 10 to the 66th power of being wrong•       51:00 — The Jewish skeptic who became a believer after reading 50 pages•       Welcome to Just Talkin' About Jesus.I'm Jan Johnson, a seasoned believer who loves relationships and, you know, just talkin' about Jesus.Here you will find testimonies of those who God has changed through his grace.Stories of feeling unworthy because of being sex trafficked, or of radical redemption of a woman who grew up with abuse, neglect, abandonment and drugs.
