FIREPLACE POETRY

This book?
It’s not just a book.

It’s 66 books,
written by 40 authors,
over 1,500 years,
on three continents —
Asia, Africa, Europe —
yet it tells one story with one voice.

Kings wrote it.
Shepherds wrote it.
Prophets, prisoners, poets, fishermen.
Different lives.
Different languages.
Different centuries.

But somehow…
the same message.

That’s not coincidence.
That’s coordination.

From Genesis to Revelation,
every page points forward —
to a Savior who would come,
to a cross He would carry,
to a tomb He would leave empty.

And history backs it up.

Jesus wasn’t a myth.
He was recorded by Roman historians,
confirmed by Jewish scholars,
mentioned outside the Bible itself.

Crucified under Pontius Pilate.
Buried.
Guarded.
Sealed.

And then—
the stone moved.

Not stolen.
Not hidden.
Not explained away.

Over 500 witnesses saw Him alive.
Men who ran in fear
later died refusing to deny what they saw.

People don’t die for a lie they made up.
They die for truth.

The Bible doesn’t ask for blind faith —
it invites investigation.
Prophecies written hundreds of years early,
fulfilled in exact detail.
A message preserved through war, fire, exile, and time.

Empires rose.
Empires fell.
The Word remained.

And here’s the part that changes everything:

The same God who split seas,
raised the dead,
and rolled away stones
is still alive…

And still reaching for you.

This isn’t just history.
It’s a heartbeat.
It’s a rescue plan.
It’s proof that Jesus didn’t stay in the grave.

He rose —
and He’s still changing lives today.
