New Book Uses Astronomy and Mathematics to Validate Biblical Prophecies

Harvard Ministries, Inc. has released a new book that applies scientific methodology to biblical prophecy, claiming to demonstrate mathematical precision in predictions spanning centuries. John Zachary's 'The Science Behind the Story of Jesus: Clear-Cut Evidence of the Spiritual Realm' represents two decades of research combining astronomy, mathematics, and historical analysis to examine time-based predictive texts in the Bible.

The book argues that biblical prophecies accurately foretold historical events down to the exact day, using Babylonian astronomy, ancient calendars, and NASA data to support its claims. Zachary, who holds degrees in history, education, and mathematics and worked as an aerospace engineer, applies his technical expertise to date events including the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, the destruction of Herod's Temple, and the crucifixion of Jesus in AD 32.

'No one can foretell the future precisely,' Zachary writes in the preface, 'yet we have time-based predictive texts that do just that, revealing external control over human events from the era of Moses into the 21st century.' The research suggests such precision indicates evidence of a transcendent Being operating beyond spacetime constraints.

The book's methodology involves rigorous analysis of astronomical calculations and eyewitness accounts to establish timelines for biblical events. Key themes include refuting atheism through logical and scientific arguments, exposing biases in worldviews, and analyzing Old Testament feasts as foreshadowings of future deadlines. The work aims to bridge the gap between science and religion by demonstrating how spiritual truths can be validated through empirical evidence.

Structured for broad accessibility, the publication includes executive summaries for quick insights alongside detailed appendices for scholarly review. A fictional time-travel storyline woven throughout the book illustrates supernatural concepts for general readers. Harvard Ministries, Inc., through publications like this and outreach efforts, seeks to equip believers with intellectual confidence while challenging skeptics through research that connects science with Scripture.

The ministry maintains a website at https://authorjohnzachary.com where additional information about the research and publication is available. The organization emphasizes its dedication to combining historical analysis, astronomy, and mathematics to affirm biblical truths and highlight evidence of a transcendent spiritual realm.
