The Indestructible Book

Why has no one been able to destroy the Book of Truth (The Bible)?

There used to be a Bible museum in Tulsa that told the story of the journey from original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to the creation of the 1769 King James version of the Bible commonly used in America.  The exhibits were laid out in chronological order from the oldest artifacts to the newest artifacts.

All through these exhibits there was also another story interweaved in the displays of the relentless efforts to destroy or suppress the Book of Truth.

There were great efforts by governments to gather and burn every copy of the Book of Truth to destroy it off of the land.  There were efforts to suppress the Book of Truth by passing laws that only allowed religious professionals to read or teach from it.  There were extraordinary efforts by governments to ban the Book of Truth from being printed or read by anyone.

Yet the Book of Truth continued to be translated, printed and read by an ever increasing number of people.

The museum focus especially on the terror that was perpetrated on translators of the Book of Truth, particularly into English, as well as those who sought to distribute those translations. 

Most of the people involved in the making the Book of Truth readable to the average person in their own language were persecuted in some way by either the False Church of Rome or its rebellious daughter in England.  Some were expelled from their homes and forced to flee far away from their friends and family.  Some were attacked financially to the point of losing everything and dying in poverty.  Some were stripped of their credentials and lost their positions of influence.  Some were imprisoned for long periods of time.  Some were brutally tortured and executed.

Yet none of these efforts were successful in stopping the Book of Truth from being translated and distributed so more people could read it for themselves.

The museum also showed how a similar pattern occurred in other places including Muslim empires, Nazi Germany, and Russia.  Most of the mightiest empires in history from the Roman Empire to the USSR have tried in vain to either destroy the Book of Truth or suppress the Book of Truth and all of them have failed.  These empires and their reigns of terror all came to an end but the Book of Truth continued to grow in distribution until it has became by far the most printed book in the history of mankind.

The museum showed a lot more than just how English translations of the Book of Truth came from Hebrew and Greek source documents.  It showed how all the efforts to destroy the Book of Truth had only caused the Book of Truth to increase in the number of translations of it, increase in the number of copies of it and how it has continued to be read by an ever increasing number of people.  If I had named the museum then I would have named it, "The Museum of the Indestructible Book".

Why has no government, no church, no organization or no individual been able to destroy the Book of Truth?

After all, there are many books that are not near as old that have disappeared from existence without anyone purposely trying to get rid of them.  Some of the most popular and famous works of antiquity are now only known by other books that have survived to modern times.  Most of their content has been lost except for what is quoted in later works.  Many of them are only known by references to their names without any of their actual content being known.  The few works that have survived from even the fourth century AD are mostly maintained by academics who have kept them from perishing altogether.  Their popularity has long since waned to the point that only a few people even bother to read them.  They have come close to vanishing without anyone persecuting those who seek to translate and publish them.

Yet the Book of Truth has only grown year after year, century after century, in every aspect despite all of the efforts to destroy it and the efforts to prevent its translation and publication.  What has caused the Book of Truth to become The Indestructible Book?

The Book of Truth contains the everlasting covenant that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) made with Abraham (Abram) to give the descendants of Israel the Promised Land and to bring salvation to the entire human race.  The details of the events that lead up to this covenant, the details of this covenant, the efforts made so far to fulfill this covenant and the plan to ultimately bring every detail of this covenant to pass are woven throughout the inseparable covenants that form the two major divisions of the Book of Truth.

The Father of Truth first gave the words of the Book of Truth to Moses out of a thick cloud so that the people of Israel could believe his testimony forever (Exodus 19:7-9).  They were given these words so they could be blessed by the Father of Truth forever for their obedience (Deuteronomy 12:28).  These words were revealed so that His commandments could be obeyed forever (Deuteronomy 29:29).

The Father of Truth gave the words of the Book of Truth to confirm that the house of King David would be established to rule over the people of Israel in the Promised Land forever (2 Samuel 7:24-26).  He gave these words so that His deeds and covenant could be remembered forever (Psalm 105:5-8).  The words He gave are settled forever in Heaven to govern the universe (Psalm 119:89-91).  The words He gave in the Book of Truth have always been true and they will last forever (Psalm 119:160).

The Father of Truth will perform everything that He has promised in the Book of Truth regardless of what people do (Deuteronomy 9:5).  The Father of Truth has made an eternal record that He has performed every promise in due time (1 Kings 8:18-20).  He works behind the scenes to perform everything that He says (2 Chronicles 10:13-15).   He brought the descendants of Israel into the Promised Land the first time to provide a record that He performs His words that are recorded in the Book of Truth (Nehemiah 9:8).

He has confirmed the words that He had the Prophets of Truth record in the Book of Truth and performed what He has spoken through them to return the Jews to Israel so that all men would know that He alone made everything and redeems the human race (Isaiah 44:24-26).  He has His words recorded in the Book of Truth before He ever performs them so that all will know that He causes His words to come to pass (Isaiah 46:9-11).  He makes sure that He performs every word of His that the Prophets of Truth have recorded in the Book of Truth (Jeremiah 1:9-12).  The Father of Truth performed His word spoken through the Prophets of Truth to bring the descendants of Israel into the Promised Land the second time to provide a record that He performs His words that are recorded in the Book of Truth (Jeremiah 29:10-12).

Those who oppose the Father of Truth are cut down like grass (Psalm 37:1-3).  A thousand years are but as a day to Him but his enemies are like grass that flourishes in the morning only to be cut down in the evening (Psalm 90:4-6).  His enemies spring up like grass only to be quickly destroyed while the Father of Truth lives forever (Psalm 92:7-9).  All men are like grass that dies and is blown away while the Father of Truth lives forever to bring His Word to pass (Psalm 103:15-18).  Those who hate His plans for the Promised Land laid out in the Book of Truth are doomed to come to nothing like grass growing on a roof top (Psalm 129:4-6).  All people are like grass that withers and flowers that fade away but the words of the Father of Truth recorded in the Book of Truth will endure forever (Isaiah 40:6-8).  His enemies shall die like the grass when He brings the descendants of Israel into the Promised Land the third time to provide a record that He performs His words that are recorded in the Book of Truth (Isaiah 51:11-13).

No matter how rich the empire or the men who oppose the Father of Truth by seeking to destroy the Book of Truth they are all fade away and perish like the grass while those who believe the words in the Book of Truth and do what it says shall live forever as the Father of Truth has promised in the Book of Truth (James 1:10-12).  The mightiest empires and the greatest men who have tried to destroy the Book of Truth came and went like the withering grass but they could not destroy the Book of Truth because the words in it endure forever so that people can be born again to live forever (1 Peter 1:23-25).

So the Book of Truth is The Indestructible Book because it came from the Father of Truth and He will not allow anyone to destroy it but will certainly bring everything in it to pass.

The Father of Truth said in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) that He would make the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) with the descendants of Israel where the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) would live in them so that the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) would be written on their hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-33).  The Father of Truth said that this would cause them to know Him so they could live in the Promised Land forever because the descendants of Israel could no more cease to be a people group than the laws that He gave to govern the universe because He is the source of this promise (Jeremiah 31:34-36).

For this reason the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) did not come to destroy the eternal words in the Original Covenant but to teach people how to keep the commandments of the Law of Truth in the way that His Father had always intended (Matthew 5:17-19).  Men want to destroy the Book of Truth to justify themselves but they can no more destroy the Book of Truth than they could destroy the universe because the Law of Truth cannot be destroyed and it is the standard that they will be judged by instead of their own standards (Luke 16:15-18).

The words of the Man of Truth spoken in the Renewed Covenant shall not pass away so we can be sure that all that was promised about the end of this age will come to pass within a single generation (Matthew 24:34-36).   The end of this age that will bring about all that was promised to Abraham will surely come to pass even though only the Father of Truth knows when it will come to pass (Mark 13:30-32).  The words of the Man of Truth will not pass away so that people can come into the House of Truth to escape the terrible days of judgment that will come upon the whole earth to bring about everything that was promised in the Book of Truth (Luke 21:33-36).

The Man of Truth was sent so that the eternal words in the Book of Truth could be in the mouth of people forever when they come into the House of Truth (Isaiah 59:20-21).  Those who come to  Man of Truth in total surrender because they believe that His Father raised him from the dead will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:9).  The eternal words in The Indestructible Book are what causes people to be born again and come to the House of Truth when they believe those words (1 Peter 1:21-23).

Come into the House of Truth!
