Dear eiko onoda,

I hope you are well and fine today.

It was nice to meet you yesterday at the kingdom hall of Jehovahs witnesses, however,it was very noisy for me to speak in there and i did promise that i would email you this week or weekend.

First of all, you mentioned that you would like to continue your studies of the Bible...if its ok, could you tell me what book you studied in the past when you were studying with the 2 other people you mentioned?

Also,may i ask...Did you find any particular subject difficult to understand with regards to the Bible?

And finally, what is your purpose of starting a Bible study again?

Knowing the answer to these questions just helps me know what you have done and what to expect and how to go about future studies if we start.

Please also let me know which days and times are best for you to study?


I just wanted to try and answer your question that you posed to me yesterday with regards to whether man wrote the bible after fulfillment...

well consider this: Isaiah wrote about Babylons final situation(please read in your bible Isaiah 13:19,20)

How did things actually turn out?

The facts are that Babylon long depended on a complex irrigation system of dams and canals between the tigris and euphrates rivers.
In about 140BCE this water system was damaged in the destructive Parthian conquest and basically collapsed.

With what effect?

The Encyclopedia Americana says: " The soil became saturated with mineral salts, and a crust of alkali formed over the surface, making agricultural use IMPOSSIBLE".

Some 200 years later Babylon was still a populous city,but it did not remain such for much longer.

By the 3rd century CE, the historian Dio cassius(c 150-235CE) described a visitor to Babylon as finding nothing but "mounds and stones and ruins".

By this time Isaiah had been dead and his complete book in circulation for centuries.

If you visit Babylon today, you would see mere ruins of that once glorious city.

Significantly, many ancient cities such as Rome, Jerusalem and Athens have survived down to our day,YET Babylon is desolate, uninhabited, a ruin......

It is just as Isaiah foretold..his prediction came completely true.

So,Mr Miyazaki..this is one reason we can trust that Bible Prophecy....Maybe you would agree that Isaiah wrote his Bible book around 700 BCE...yet the fulfillment took place of Babylons desolation in the 3rd century(about 900 years later).

Since Isaiahs book was already circulating as a complete book for many centuries,it would be impossible for any one to disagree and change the word of God suddenly...that person would not be allowed and no one would accept his new addition to the Bible.

There are other examples in the Bible ,but i wont send you them right now.

I hope you understood this explanation.Please let me know.

And i look forward to hearing from you soon

Carlos(Jehovahs witness)
