Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Archaeologists are excited in St. Mary’s County, MD, after unearthing a 400-year-old silver, English coin. While the coin does not have a date imprinted on it, it does have the image of King Charles I and a maker’s mark that was only used between 1633 and 1634. The coin is an unusual find since goods, services, and land were often purchased at that time with tobacco—not money. It is an amazing find with great historical significance. The coin is old, but not even as old as the King James version of the Bible which was first published in 1611. And the King James Bible was not the first English Bible—the Coverdale Bible of 1535 was. These Bibles were published about 1600 years after the New Testament was completed and some 2000 years after the Old Testament was completed. And all of this compared to the eternality of God is not even worth mentioning. God has always existed from eternity past and will continue to exist in eternity future. God’s personal name is Yahweh, which in Hebrew is a unique form of the verb “to be” which can mean, “I was,” “I am, “ or “I will be.” Jesus said of Himself in Revelation 1:8, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is and which was and which is to come, The Almighty.”
