The objective deep thinker does not apply blind faith but requires evidence. The prophets are the most empirical example of this, both in the OT and New. They all correlate and corroborate wonderfully.
Revelation is what motivated me, some 65 years ago, as a 10 year old boy. This was in about 1945, three years before the Biblically prophesied nation of Israel became restored for the first time since the dispersion of the Jews in the 1st century AD.
I hadn't been inside of a church until we moved from the country to a small town in Wyoming at about age 8. An evangelist, Clay Cooper from Washington came to town and preached on the prophecies, including the ones in the OT and NT that in the latter days the globally dispersed Jews would return to their native land of Israel and it would again become a nation.
After that powerful message I was one of two or three children that walked the isle to the front, knelt and ask Jesus to come into our heart (inner soul) and save our souls as lord and savior. I felt no tingles or anything unusual during or after this experience. It was like a business transaction with God.
This message intrituged my young deep thinking mind to begin looking in the Bible about these prophecies and to check them out.
