What about people who have never heard of God? From Romans 1:19–23, Dr. John Neufeld sets out six truths creation makes plain to everyone: God exists, He is the Creator, we owe Him our existence and our gratitude, we have been ungrateful, and we need mercy. Natural theology cannot save us; it shows we are guilty suppressors of truth. Only a Saviour can fix this situation.

On April 21st, 2008, Katherine Wolf suffered a massive stroke. She lost her ability to walk, talk clearly, and care for herself. She went from being a California model to a wheelchair-bound patient. God stepped in.

In her wonderful book, Hope Heals, she writes, “I felt a deep awakening of the Word of God, which I had known since I was a little girl. It was my epiphany of hope. I would never lose heart in this situation because my soul was not what was wasting away.”

Don’t try to weather this storm alone, my friend. He is still the great I AM. The next time you pray, “Is anyone coming to help me?” listen for the response of Jesus. “I AM with you in this storm.” Remember my friend, you are never alone.

Season 3, Episode 16

In this episode, Michael and Zach begin a new mini-series on the Septuagint—the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament that regularly appears in biblical studies and has come up throughout The Unseen Realm 2.0. They begin by explaining what the Septuagint, or LXX, actually is, why Greek-speaking Jews in Alexandria needed a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and why the name “Septuagint” points back to a tradition involving seventy-two translators. The discussion then turns to the Letter of Aristeas, the earliest surviving account of the translation’s origins: a story involving Ptolemy II, the Library of Alexandria, the Jewish high priest Eleazar, seventy-two elders, and a translation of the Torah completed in seventy-two days. Michael and Zach also examine the political and cultural setting behind the story, the Jewish community’s dramatic endorsement of the translation, and an important detail often lost in later retellings: Aristeas describes the translators working together toward consensus—not producing miraculously identical translations in isolation.
