Premiere Episode- Welcome to the BC Messenger!

0:00 Hello and welcome to the very first issue of the BC Messenger, the biblical chronologist dot org messenger newsletter. Real science, real Bible, real history and real world. This is the August 2022, again, first edition. And my name is Steve Hall. I'm here with my wife, Jennifer Hall. We are the editors of this newsletter. Yes, great to be here. Very excited about this brand new publication going out. Very good. And we're going to jump right into it. Welcome. We're glad you're here for the premiere issue of the BC Messenger.

0:44 We are excited to offer you this faith building thought provoking empowering content with very practical implications for your life today. BC stands for the biblical chronologist, Dr. Gerald Arzma's research newsletter and website. Now normally the following description that I'm going to read will be in the fine print, but we thought that it was fitting to go ahead and state it right here at the beginning of this inaugural, can we call that inaugural issue? The BC Messenger is a monthly publication which communicates the work of the biblical chronologist, the BC, to lay audiences. Each month includes a collage of topics focused on and relating to the research work of Dr.

1:25 Gerald Arzma along with a little peek behind the scenes. Our goal is to assist busy individuals by keeping them informed about the BC research and discoveries which will impact their lives. This publication serves to summarize and highlight key points of this groundbreaking data rich work in simple layman's terms. Many of our readers are familiar with the anti-aging side of Dr. Arzma's research and we're thrilled about that since the vitamin discoveries have life saving implications. But one thing that we have noticed over the past months is that the anti-aging research by itself lacks context.

2:07 Our aim with this new publication is to keep you informed about the aging research while bringing in the larger picture of Dr. Arzma's fascinating work. And the larger picture encompasses decades of work in biblical historicity showing that the earliest biblical accounts truly did happen in the real world. Here we find an empowering message of truth which our culture desperately needs. Justice is turned back, Isaiah 59 says, and righteousness stands far away for truth as stumbled in the public squares and uprightness cannot enter. Dr. Arzma's chronology work brings some clarity to the murky waters of Christian apologetics.

2:52 Those waters should be rushing into the public square like a flood but instead seem to be dried up to a mere trickle in our modern world. So it's time for that to change. The BC messenger in this newsletter you will find real science, real Bible, and real history all firmly anchored in the real world. So thanks for joining us. This is sure to be an interesting ride. In every issue we will have a monthly roundup and Jennifer I will turn it over to you to help us begin to go through this. All right, every month we're going to have a collage of various content that you can explore.

3:32 We hope you'll find it encouraging and beneficial. The links for the various content will be available at the same place where you found the sound file to listen to today's podcast. So the featured book this month, this is the first of our monthly roundup for this month. The featured book to get a foundational grasp of Dr. Arzma's work. You should start by reading this book. It has a long title but it's actually not a very lengthy book. It's called A New Approach to the Chronology of Biblical History from Abraham to Samuel. It can be downloaded for free and you can also purchase a physical copy if you desire that.

4:17 Although few of us are experts in the vital field of biblical chronology, this book is a fairly easy read and provides new insights on many levels. And here's a short snippet from The Preface by Dr. Arzma. My claim is that we have gotten the thread a bit snarled in the piece of the fabric we call biblical history. With the result that the overall garment of history is wrinkled and distorted to our perception. I have aspired in this little book to show how to untangle the thread. There are many places today where you can go and find the Bible discredited, find the biblical accounts to be mocked and taken as myth and legend.

5:05 And there's a reason for that with the early ancient history and that's what this book is about and how we can go about untangling the thread as Dr. Arzma says. Our next piece of content this month in the roundup is something that I believe Steve should share. Yes, we're very excited about the new public speaking arm of the BC which is called Truth in Time. Our family, the Steve and Jennifer Hall family, would love to come and present Truth in Time sessions for your church. Our homeschool group, your Bible study or special meetings of any sort. We also include in our Truth in Time sessions our music ministry.

5:48 Our family has been singing for a very long time and have done some recordings along the way here and there. So we include that as well if a ministry or school wants us to include that. Of course the Truth in Time sessions have to do with Dr. Gerald Arzma's chronology work and fascinating stuff. You can also go to Truthintime.org if you want to see more information about that and an introduction video as well. Yes, in the links for this month there is an introduction to Truth in Time video. And as you were talking there, I did think a Christian school would be an ideal place for our family to come and present music.

6:29 The children play different instruments and we like to sing about God's workings and history and His workings in our lives today and then for Steve to present a session on Mount Sinai or the Exodus or so many various topics that will build the faith of these young students. Very good. All right. Our next link for this month is a new resource, a brand new resource. It's a digital only resource right now. It is the simplified and condensed version of the pioneering book, Aging, Cause and Cure by Dr. Arzma.

7:10 Maybe you're curious about the content of Aging, Cause and Cure, but you don't really have time to read 326 pages of technical information. There are many graphs and charts and mathematical sections to that book necessarily for the theory to be able to be presented the way it is, but we have a brand new resource just for you to be able to digest this content in a fairly quick and easy to understand manner. Again, the simplified and condensed version, only 86 pages and with short chapters and it's currently available as a free download and it will introduce you to paradigm shifting ideas about aging and give you a lot to think about.

7:58 All right. And then we've included in this issue a testimonial. The most recent testimonial is from 60 year old Jean. Of course, these testimonials are testimonials about the anti-aging vitamins. Jean, 60 years old began supplementing Dr. Arzma's anti-aging vitamins in April of 2022. And here's what Jean says. The vitamins are transforming my life. I am coming up on three months and I am confident that I have seen changes in my life and body. Probably the most significant is my attitude and frame of mind at this point, but the changes are notable. I'm curious if you have had anyone report hair growth after starting the vitamins.

8:40 I have male pattern baldness and I swear I have hair returning on my high forehead. Well, that's great news to me personally. Jean, I have male pattern baldness as well. I cannot give the same testimony. I have not seen hair regrowing on my own head. I keep hoping for that every morning when I look in the mirror. But that's great and this is a great testimony. Yeah, I appreciate Jean sharing that with us and we do have in our links the full list of testimonials that we have available, which are of course anecdotal experiences from people, but they are worth something and they're worth a consideration.

9:26 And I did have somebody on Facebook recently who read Jean's testimonial about the hair regrowth and this elderly lady said that she and her husband were just talking about the hair regrowth this morning. She said on her comment. They also have been supplementing the anti-aging vitamins for some time and she said briefly on her comment, mine is getting more curly. So that was interesting and I hadn't heard that from them before. Well we do have a good growing amount of testimonials. Again, as Jennifer mentioned, you can see the full list at thebiblicalchronologist.org and they are exciting to read and very encouraging.

10:09 So now we have a special section that we are excited to include in every month. It is called Helen's View and who is Helen? Well she is my mom and she is the wife of Dr. Gerald Ardzma and so she has a unique viewpoint on the work going on here and she has been faithful in supporting him for decades now and the work that God has called him to do. And so we are very pleased to include these personal notes from her every month. She is going to bring a unique behind the scenes viewpoint that we are sure our readers and listeners will enjoy.

10:50 Helen's View. Gerald and I are selling our mini-farm on the west side of Loda and moving to the Ardzma Research and Publishing Campus which is the old Loda grade school. This is on the east side of Loda. We are a town of 440 people. Even though it is a short distance move it is a big move after living on our farm for over 27 years. Gerald and his crew have been working on our new home which will be inside part of the Ard Campus building. Part of Gerald's crew has been our grandson Joshua Hall. Joshua is the son of our daughter Jennifer who is married to Steve Hall.

11:32 Being between going to college Joshua has been working for ARC for the last three years. He will be starting his master's degree program this next year at Bob Jones University specializing in communications. Joshua has been a great blessing and encouragement to Gerald and me and we are very proud of him and grateful to God for him. Alright well that wraps it up today for our August 2022 BC messenger. We hope you enjoyed it. If we can help you in any way let us know. Our email is customer.care at biblicalchronologist.org. I'm Steve Hall and my wife Jennifer Hall. Thanks for listening.

12:13 Thanks for listening. We will see you in September.
