of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be confirmed. We must remember
that these 66 books written by 33 known writers at the hands of the
Holy Spirit, are all the words of God through human writers (1 Cor
14:37; 2 Peter 1:21). And if this is not enough, then God raised up
His Russian servant Ivan Panin, to confirm this through Bible
Numerics.</font></font></p>
