Dr. Ivan Panin was born in Russia on December 12, 1855 and as a young man he
was an active Nihilist. One who was so "turned off" by the inane circumstances
surrounding him that he adopted the attitude that all values were worthless and

nothing was knowable or communicable. He apparently detested the Czarist
government so much that he participated in various plots against it and eventually
was forced into political exile. From there he moved to Germany where he spent a
number of years furthering his education. When he left Germany he immigrated to
the United States and soon entered Harvard University where he became the
personal friend of both the famous professor William James and the University' s
President Eliot.
After graduating from Harvard University he became an outstanding lecturer on
the subject of literary criticism and toured the country speaking on Carlyle,
Emerson, Tolstoy, Russian literature, etc. And during those years of travel and
exposure to the public, Mr. Panin became widely known as a confirmed agnostic.
So well known, in fact, that when he renounced agnosticism and embraced Jesus
Christ, several newspapers carried banner headlines announcing his conversion!

What event made this brilliant and gifted man? One firmly convinced that absolute
truth that God was unknowable; Change his mind? What so challenged his intellect
and shook him to the very core of his being, that he was left with no alternative but
to believe and accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior? The unequivocal answer
is this:

Dr. Ivan Panin made the scientific mathematical discovery that should have
shaken the entire world! The unbelievable fact that the belief system of the world
has not yet been shaken, and has been quietly disregarded by the Christian World,
and also those who should have been his greatest advocates, is one of the great
mysteries of our time! Of course we know now without question that this was
accomplished by Satan himself.

One day in 1890, Dr. Ivan Panin was casually reading the first verse of the Gospel
of John in the Original Greek. This verse, in the original, says: "In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and the Word was God." And as he
read this sentence, his curiosity was stirred by the fact that the definite article "the"
preceded "God" in the first instance, but not the second. Why the difference?
To analyze this apparent discrepancy, he made a parallel list of all verses in the
Original Greek New Testament in which the word "God" occurs with the article
"the" and all those with the word “God” that occurs without the article “the”.

One of the discoveries that Dr. Ivan Panin made was as follows:
1 – Every Proper Name from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation was
