Did Jesus say that‪?‬ A.V. O'Connell

Have you ever gone on a walk in the woods and ran into interesting grape-like clusters on tall perennials?  Inquiring mind?  Warning, don't eat them. Found in Florida, these purple-black berries are great for the birds, but unless you are looking to use up your "sick days" from work, stay clear!  Just a few berries and you'll be howling with pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. Eat the seeds, and your nervous system may not survive.  

Sounds scary? Well, pokeberries found in Florida and Maine, are child's play compared to another poisonous deadly fruit. This one is deceptively sweet, but according to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the most toxic fruit in the World.  It destroys your digestive tract for one, and it kills. 

 Find out how Jesus' birth is connected.

Nations crumble, families displaced, livelihoods demolished, wealth erased, infrastructure  destroyed, hunger,  famines, sickness, disease and death follow.  War is sheer hell with no real winners. Will the nations on Earth ever learn peace? Will global peace ever be realized?  What if the answer  to both is - yes! But how? 2700 years ago, one of the greatest prophets of all time, saw global peace on Earth. A ruler, a King called the "Prince of Peace" would fulfill and bring this prophecy to pass.  Who is this global ruler? Listen to "The Son, The Child & Global Peace" for the answer.

Archaeologists Think They've Found First-Ever Evidence of a Legendary Biblical Prophet, reports the Science Alert in a February 2018 article.

Also reported by BBC, National Geographic, and other major global media networks, this find is indeed significant!

Could this 2700-year-old discovery bear what looks like the name of the Prophet Isaiah provide strong evidence to his life?

Who was Isaiah, and what is his relevance to this podcast? He prophesied with pinpoint accuracy many historical events revealed to him by God, including the birth of Jesus Christ, 700 years before Jesus was born.  But Isaiah's prophecies go beyond the birth of Christ and

reveal the life, death, resurrection, of Jesus Christ, and His ultimate reign over all earthly kingdoms.  Isaiah is pivotal to this podcast,  pivotal to Jesus, and pivotal to you. Therefore we begin with Isaiah the Messianic Prophet in our first episode.
