And because so many were talking about in their near-death experience this God of light, who is love, and even Jesus, I was like, well, maybe I should be more open to reading the Bible. So I start reading the Bible. I go to a small group, and I'm asking my questions and wrestling. And here's what I learned that actually—it wasn't near-death experiences that led me to faith. It was this. Mm-hmm.

Everything Lee just explained is history. Historians that are not believers, they will not deny these things. These are facts, okay? But all that God told in advance. Jesus was a man with an address in history. I think you said that, didn't you? Quoting my good friend. But the who, the where, the how, the why, the what, the why, all of that God foretold so that we would know this is real.

This is not myth. So, for instance... in Isaiah, in the book of Isaiah. And remember, Isaiah, we found a complete copy of the book of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1948, complete copy that you can read online if you can read the Hebrew, but you can read a translation. It reads exactly like our modern-day Bible.

Yeah. all these prophecies. Now we have... What prophecies? I'm going to tell you. But we have a surviving copy of the whole scroll of Isaiah that carbon dates to 150 to 300 years before Jesus.
