This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, July 18, 2022, and this is Episode #29 of Series 2022.  _________________________________________  Today I have a very special surprise for you. I’m so excited to welcome on this podcast this week my awesome husband Dr. Dominic Diorio.  Dr. Dom is a retired E.R. physician who, during his retirement, has become quite an expert on End Time Prophecy.  And today, we are going to discuss some of the topics related to the End Times.  Welcome, sweetheart, Dr. Dom! Dr. Dom:  Hey!  It’s great to be here for my very first podcast.  Uh-I’m a novice at this, so if my voice cracks, you’ll understand why.  I have to laugh every time MaryAnn introduces me as an "expert."  I try to remind her that "expert" comes from two words: “ex” is an old has-been and a “spirt” is a drip under pressure.  So, every time she introduces me as an “expert”, we chuckle. Dr. MaryAnn:  So, get ready for some good humor and fun during this podcast. All right, let’s begin.  Our first question is “Where do you think we are on God’s timetable and why?” Dr. Dom:  That’s an interesting point.  I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this, a lot of reading and pondering, and it is my opinion that we are in the end of the times, we are in the end time. Uh-I read Genesis—Genesis chapter 6 verse 3--when God says He’s fed up with man – I’m paraphrasing. He’s fed up with mankind and He is going to give them 120 years.  I initially thought that that was before the flood because it took Noah maybe 100 or so years to build the arc, and I thought that that was what He was referring to.  But the more I think about that, God knew that after the flood Noah and  his family would survive and would go on to generate more people. So, the more I went to that in prayer, I think what God was saying, I’ve come to the conclusion that what God was saying was He was going to give man 120 Jubilee years.  And a Jubilee year is 50 years.  So, if God gave man 120 Jubilee years, that’s 120 times 50 or 6000.  And we are in the 6000th year since the creation.  So I believe that we are very close to the end times. Dr. MaryAnn:  Wonderful.  OK, next question. You know that today a lot of people are eschewing the validity of the Bible.  They are saying that the Bible is just an ancient book and that it really doesn’t have any more validity than that.  So let me ask you, why do you believe the Bible? Dr. Dom:  I believe the Bible is God’s book of instruction for life.  I believe that because in the Bible there have been approximately 2500 prophecies that are listed.  The Bible is a huge book of prophecy.  Of those 2500 prophecies, about 2000 of them have come to pass.  There is a whole list of Bible prophecies that have been realized so far.  Just to name a couple of them, in Micah chapter 5 verse 2, it states that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem and we all know that’s where Jesus was born.  Another interesting one is in the book of Zachariah chapter 11 verses 12-13 when Zachariah,
