Pastor. Wansoo Jung (Pastor. Jung is a Doctor of Science, Senior Pastor of Calvary Church, and currently a professor in the Mathematics Department at SoonChunHyang University of Natural Science.)
Among over 200 countries in the world today, I am thankful for God's having selected South Korea to use it for world mission and having built and anointed countless churches and servants of our Lord. Even from those many churches in the country, I am also thankful for God's having built Manmin Joong-ang Church - a congregation that prays without a stop, diligently takes after the Lord, and manifests God's power - for global mission and its Senior Pastor, Pastor.. Dr. Jaerock Lee. South Korea has been blessed in so many ways. About ten years ago, I met Pastor. Myong-Ho Cheong at Hoseo University (at the time English professor), was introduced to Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, and began listening to his sermon tapes. Nowadays, I am receiving overflowing grace from his "The Lectures on Genesis." At the end of the age in which humanism is prevalent and sin and evil are thriving, by God's power we must greatly testify to Him, Jesus Christ's being our Savior, the existence of heaven and hell, and the accuracy of the Bible to people all over the world by exposing the fabrication behind the theory of evolution and destroying all idols. At such a time, God has selected Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee - who has lived only by the Word and prayed fervently - gave him power, and is manifesting His work through him. Therefore, by God's power Pastor. Dr. Lee testifies to the Bible's accuracy, the existence of heaven and hell, and Jesus Christ's being our only Savior. Mark 16:20 tells us, "Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it." I would like to take this opportunity to present a few pieces of scientific evidence that confirms "The Lectures on Genesis" delivered during every Friday All-night Service, so that the readers may understand Pastor. Dr. Lee's messages better and more easily.
Revelation 22:13: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
To the best of my knowledge, no preacher or minister has ever testified that "the Alpha and the Omega" symbolize the beginning and the end of mankind's knowledge and civilization. God knew that the comprehension of the concept of numbers and the use of characters would be integral in making people understand and believe in God the Creator. That is why He gave people perceptibility by which they could fathom the concept of numbers and allowed them to create and use numbers. God also gave different ethnic groups varying languages and characters to help them understand and believe in Him. In sum, mankind did not devise numbers and characters; we have merely been allowed to utilize them. This is why in the Bible are countless entries of numbers, and the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. The Greek language had been selected as a representative of all existing languages, and through numbers and characters people have been and are developing their civilizations. "The Alpha and the Omega" tell us that the realm of mankind's knowledge and the fulfillment of civilization are all subject to God's administration. Figure 1 is a collage of wings of butterflies an American biologist has produced while traveling around the world. Clearly visible on these butterflies' wings are the English alphabet and numbers 1 through 10. Even before mankind came to use the English alphabet and the Arabic numerals, these characters and numbers had already been marked on butterflies' wings. Keep in mind that the English language is the most widely-used in the world today and the United States tops the chart in terms of global mission.

Genesis 1:14: "And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years.'"
Did the universe come into being on its own? Did the Earth come to revolve around the Sun by chance? Did the Moon come to revolve around the Earth merely by chance also? On the formation of the universe, there is the "Big Bang" theory. There are also a number of theories on the formation of the solar system as well. German astronomer Johannes Kepler discovered in 1609 and 1619 that there was wondrous law among the planets in our solar system. This set of laws is commonly called "Kepler's first, second, and third laws of planetary motion." The first law dictates that, "The orbit of a planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun's center of mass at one focus." The orbit of this ellipse can be expressed in higher mathematics as follows:
The second law dictates that, "A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time."
{Picture 1}
As we can see in {Picture 1}, if the amount of time a planet passes by Arcs BC, EF, and GH is equal, the areas of Sectors ABC, AEF, and AGH are equal. Since the Sun is located at the focal point of the ellipse, the planet moves quickly when the radius vector is short and the planet moves slowly when the radius vector is long. Due to the Sun's gravitation, if a planet moves quickly when it is near the Sun, it will be absorbed by the Sun and disappear. However, a planet passes by the Sun at a speed fast enough not to be absorbed by the Sun. Earth itself does not possess the capacity to sense and control these factors. This is a clear indication of the presence of governing authority in charge of the planetary motion. Kepler's third law of planetary motion dictates that, "The square of the sidereal period of an orbiting planet (R) is directly proportional to the cube of the orbit's semi-major axis D."
According to Isaac Newton's universal law of gravitation, if we label the mass of the Sun and the planet "M" and "m," the sidereal period "T," and the semi-major axis of the orbit (the mean distance) "a," we arrive at the formula below, which generalizes Kepler's law.
If the solar system had come into being, as some claim, in a "Big Bang" or according to the "formation theory," how are we to explain that the planets mentioned above are moving according to a higher mathematics formula?
The probability of a planet's moving according to this formula for over thousands of years (billions of years according to proponents of the evolution theory) is 0.
