Biblical Apologetics 2/4: OT prophecies on cities and nations

This is the second of four addresses delivered in July 2010 on the topic of Biblical Apologetics. The first three sermons deal with Old Testament prophecies remarkably fulfilled, and the fourth sermon deals with Biblical Archaeology. In this second sermon, Gavin deals with some amazing Old Testament prophecies on 1) Babylon, 2) the Philistines, & 3) Ninevah. For example, unlike modern Bible translations which obscure the meaning of Scripture, the Authorized King James Version of 1611 says plainly in Jeremiah 51:37, "Babylon shall become ... a dwelling place for dragons." Gavin explains the secret in the sands of Babylon as to what is meant by the words that it was to "become ... a dwelling place for dragons." Or what is meant by the words of prophesy in Nahum 1:14 & 3:11 that Ninevah would be buried as in a "grave" and "hid" from view? Why does St. Margaret's Church next to Westminster Abbey in London, UK, which under King James I of the King James Bible became from 1614 onwards the church of Members of Parliament in the House of Commons, have a marble stone bearing the epitaph, "I pray you remember Henry Austen Layard ... Discoverer of Ninevah"? The theme of this address is, "If the Bible says it, you can believe it; it's accurate, it's reliable; it's true." The sermon ends with a prayer of repentance and belief in the Biblical Christ of religiously conservative Protestant Christianity.
