Around
1977, when I was 28 and married, I was re-established with God and read several
Bibles to see which ones were the most accurate. I bought interlinear Hebrew
and Greek and compared many Bibles for accuracy. I learned that the KJV is the
most accurate Bible translation out there. It uses the Masoretic Text which is
the Jewish Hebrew that was proved correct with the discovery of the DSS from 200 BC, and is the primary language of the OT. Also they used the Received Text for
the Greek NT.
In studying the origin of the KJV, King James had disputes with the Catholic Church, which they would not concede because of scripture. When the King asked about the language of the Bible he found that it had been translated from Hebrew to Greek about 400 BC (OT), called the Septuagint; from then into Latin, called the Vulgate in 382; then into English by 1609 for the Douay-Rheims version of the Catholic Bible. The New Testament had been translated by Rheims in 1582. This and other circumstances caused King James to call for 40 of the best scholars in the realm to translate the Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek directly to the King’s English.
He wanted to unite his Kingdom of England/Scotland/Ireland with
many factions into all using one Bible. This was a move of God and the King
James Bible was published in 1611. It has been the standard Bible for over 400
years. It was the “Word of the Lord.” Prior to that time the Word was issued in
small portions during Mass and usually in Latin in the Catholic Church. The
Protestant Churches were split in factions, and English Bibles in print were the
Great Bible and the Geneva Bible that were not so readily available. Even though there were other Bibles printed
and brought forth in this period, none have the unique patterns that are found
in the KJV or give the Honor to the Name of the LORD.
Many of modern Bible translations do not give Honor to the Name of the LORD as the KJV does. Plus there are many verses completely omitted from using Greek texts other than the Textus Receptus, or the received text; usually being from the few copies of the Alexandria texts, and Wescott Hort texts. The reasons vary, but other texts found are said to be older. Some of these verses are important to Christian doctrine. Examples: 1 Jn 5:7, Mt 17:21, Mt 18:11.
1 Jn 5:7 For there are
three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one.
Mt 17:21 Howbeit
this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Mt 18:11 For
the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
In many instances Jesus and Christ was removed from the Bible in
the modern versions; removed from His own book.
Lk 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but
to save them.
This statement is a basic truth of scripture, Jesus came to save us. I understand that the KJV is a little hard to get used to the Old English language, but it should be your "go to" reference for accuracy when using the newer translations.
Even the New King James Version has corruption: Jn 8:35 in KJV And
the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever. NKJ a
son.
KJV Gn 22:17 thy seed as the stars of heaven. NKJ descendants. Even
Paul tells us that the Seed of Abraham is Christ in Gal 3:16.
There are many unique attributes to the original Hebrew texts of
the Old Testament. These include sequencing of letters to spell hidden
messages, as in the Bible Code. The first 7 words of Genesis 1 that have hidden
messages, and the Name of Aleph Tav which is never translated but reveals the
Messiah.
If God’s hand was on the translation of the KJV 1611 Bible do you
not think that there would be unique attributes that would show Divine
direction? Yes there is, and we will see some of this in this study. Chapters
and verses were added to the Bible in the mid 16th century. There
are 31,102 verses, 23,145 OT and 7,957 NT.
There are 929 chapters in the OT and 260 chapters in the NT for a
total of 1189 chapters in the Bible. That places the very middle chapter of the
Bible as Ps 118 with 594 chapters before Ps 118 and 594 chapters after Ps 118.
If you don’t include Ps 118 in the chapter count, you get 1188. If you read Ps
118: 8 It
is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
To start to show you some of the uniqueness and Divine touch given to the 1611 KJV Bible let’s look at the 2nd law book chapter 16 verse 11 (1611). Note: I want to give credit for some of the amazing facts of the KJV 1611 Bible to the studies of Brandon Peterson of Truth is Christ on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lskgc8MTBmU
Deu
16:11 And thou
shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and
thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy
gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are
among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name
there.
LORD
in the KJ is the translation from the Tetragrammaton, the Name of God, which is
Jehovah, from the Hebrew: yud hey vav hey. Other Bibles of this period did not
do this. Lord in KJ is Adoni, my Lord or master. Only in KJ 1611 was the Name
of God glorified from all the early Bibles. This is the work of the Holy Spirit
in the translators.
7 is a sacred number in the Bible and represents completeness and rest. IE; 7 days of creation, 7 notes in the musical scale, 7 colors of the rainbow, 7 seas, 7 continents, 7 days in a week, 7 feasts of God, 7 Spirits of God, 7 Churches, 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls of God’s wrath, and we find this all through the Bible. The first 7 Hebrew words in the Bible are what the Menorah represents as the light of the World, which translates to: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Many times it is multiples of 7 that are used. There are other sacred numbers as well;1-preeminence of God and Jesus, 3-God and Trinity, 8- Jesus, new beginning, 12- complete governing, 40- spiritual time period.
In Deu 16:11 LORD is the 7th and the 49th Word in this verse. That is the only time this happens in the Bible. Not only does God establish His Name in the Temple of Jerusalem,1 Ki 9:3, 2 Crn 7:16, but also in this King James Bible.
The mention of LORD in Deu 16:11 is the 1611th mention of LORD in the Bible.
The mention of “His Name” in Deu 16:11 is the 49th (7x7) mention of “His Name” in the Bible.
All of the other Bibles around the late 1500’s did not use LORD for Jehovah and Lord for Adoni as does the King James 1611.
The
LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. Mt 22:44 from Ps
110:1
Ps 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
The KJV 1611 became the world’s standard Bible. It went from Great Britain and spread around the world through the power that Britain had at that time.
It has
been the foundation of God’s word for over 400 years. The KJ is always the best
seller every year since its printing. It is the most printed version of God’s
Word in all of history. God knew that it would go through the earth in a
language that would be spoken throughout the world, English. All commercial airline pilots must speak English.
The
original KJ 1611 did not have the 7th and 49th words in
Deu 16:11 for LORD. As about 40 years went by the hand of the LORD worked on
making the book fit His Divine purpose. The final version was completed. The
words were not changed in the verse but maid servant and man servant were made
to maidservant and manservant. The LORD for Jehovah and Lord for Adoni were
finalized through all of the Bible. The chapter and verse numbers had been
added in the previous Geneva Bible in 1524-1579. All of these steps to the
final copy were directed by our Mighty God who is outside of time and space and
accomplishes His will by His Holy Spirit.
Isa 55:11 So shall my word
be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it
shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it.
Isa 40:12 ¶ Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
No other Bible has all of these marvelous statistics of the KJV 1611 final edition. If using your computer for the Names of the LORD or Lord,
you must exclude anti-mention to get the same results. Mr. Peterson uses King
James Pure Search. Jesus was used as a name for other people, Lord was
sometimes in italics and not in the original texts, but added for
clarification. Just as the Hebrew was studied with computers to find hidden
Divine secrets by sequencing called the Bible
Code, the English KJV has many hidden proofs that God was the author.
777th verse of Deu is 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to
do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear
this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
We know that all scripture was inspired by God, and that our King James 1611 Bible is the example of this in English.
2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Jesus in the Bible
Jesus
is the Greek word for Yeshua or Joshua, and means Jehovah is Salvation. He is God's Son and the Divine image of God in a Man.
In the even books of the NT, Jesus is mentioned 70 x 7 (490 times).
In
the odd books of the NT, Jesus is mentioned 70 x 7 (490 times).
In
the first 8 books of the NT (Mt-2 Cor), Jesus is mentioned 777 times.
In
the first 7 books of the NT, Jesus Christ is mentioned 77 times.
All
appearances of Jesus Christ in the NT is 777 + 777 (1554 times).
Jesus
+ Christ + Moses are mentioned in the NT 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 (2401 times)
Jesus is the 77th generation from God, Lk 3.
Jesus is the 7th word in Mt 1 and the 7th word back from Rev 22:21
God
God
is mentioned in Mt-Acts 777 times.
God
is mentioned in the Epistles 777 times.
3
is another sacred number of God and multiples of 3. This is the signature of
God on so many things. Primarily the Trinity, the 3 fold person of God: Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost.
Matter-
solid, liquid, gas
Atom-
proton, neutron, electron
Time-
past, present, future. God is outside of time and can see all at once.
Space-
height, width, length. The three dimensions that we can recognize by our senses.
Gn1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and
the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon
the face of the waters.
3 ¶ And God said, Let there
be light: and there was light.
The Trinity is here in the first 3 verses of the Bible; 1 we see God,
2 we see the Spirit of God, 3 we see God said, and we know that the Word of God
is Jesus, Jn 1: 1 ¶ In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
We also see in verse 1 that God created time, matter, and space; time-
beginning, space- heaven, matter- earth.
In
Rev God is mentioned 3 x 33 (99 times).
Nickola Tesla said if one could find the secrets of 3, 6, and 9, he could master the universe’s secrets. One thing is the Trinity is 3.
In
Jesus’ quote from Ps 110:1 The LORD said unto my
Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool, the
LORD is the 77th mention in the NT in Mk 12:36.
The words Father and Son are used 70 x7 in the NT.
Father 7 x 37 and Son 7 x 33
God and Jesus in Gn and Rev appear 7 x 7 x 7 (343)
God told Abram to make his Covenant sacrifice 3 large animals of 3
years old, Trinity in a Trinity 3 x 3 =9, the animals were divided 3 x 2 =6,
there was a turtle dove and young pigeon, which was 2 for the future Atonement
of Jesus. This Covenant resulted in the attempted sacrifice of Isaac, which
gave God earthly permission to sacrifice His son the Messiah for mankind’s
Salvation.
Alpha Omega
The first and last letter of Greek is Alpha Omega, which would be Aleph Tav in Hebrew, and A Z in English. Aleph Tav is a standalone signature of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the first 7 Hebrew words of the Bible Aleph Tav is the center and not translated. These words are represented in the Menorah.
You will find Aleph Tav many times in the OT Bible, each at a time of significance and each time not translated into English. In Rev 22:13 Jesus calls Himself the first and the last, also in Rev 1:17 & 2:8. We will see that the KJV Bible has many wonderful examples of Divine intervention in the English language.
Gn 1:1 and Rev 22:21 are the first and last chapter of the Bible. Each has 44 letters with 17 vowels and 27 consonants. This relationship of 17/27 represents the first and the last.
Noah’s flood started on the seventeenth day, Gn 7:11. The earth was dried from the flood on the seven and twentieth day, Gn 8:14.
The 777th chapter of the Bible is Jer 32. It has 44 verses. Note vs 17 and 27:
17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
27 Behold,
I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Amen,
the last word of the Bible is used 77 times in the Bible.
The first and last words of the first and last verse of the Bible have 7 letters when added.
The
first and last words of the first and last verses of the Bible: In-earth-The-
Amen, appear 77,777 times in the Bible.
There
is no way that the KJV translators figured that out. The hand of God was in the
translation, again proving the awesomeness of the KJV Bible.
Paul Taking the
Gospel to Europe KJV 1611
Acts 16:11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; (Neapolis is Europe)
6 ¶ Now when they had gone
throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy
Ghost to preach the word in Asia, (Turkey)
10 And after he had seen
the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly
gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
This is a straight line toward London (Macedonia-Neapolis).
Christians
let loose
Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
In 1517 Martin Luther started the reformation.
Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Luther wrote the 5 Solas and nailed them to the Catholic Church door: Scripture alone, Faith alone, Grace alone, Christ alone, and the Glory of God alone for our Salvation, duty, and authority. It almost cost him his life and did his liberty for some time. Protestants all go back to Luther.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath
Lk 6:2 which is the 7,777th
verse of New Testament.
Lk 6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; 4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Peter's Great Catch of Fish
Jn 21:11 tells of Peter catching 153 fish in his net at Jesus direction. Peter is mentioned in the NT in 153 verses.
You see that Jesus
called Peter, Andrew, James, and John who were all fishermen together. Jesus
told them He would make them fishers of men in Luke 5. Peter had let Jesus
preach from his ship and Jesus had instructed him to let down his nets for a
catch, which filled 2 boats.
After the resurrection of Jesus He again came to a group that were
fishing all night with no luck.
Jn 21:2 There were together
Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and
the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. As we see in this story,
Jesus told them to throw out on the right side of the ship and they caught 153 large
fish. In Israel they call these St Peter’s fish.
Pure mention of these names finds they are mentioned 153 times in
the gospels.
In John alone they are mentioned 48 times.
153 is a specific number: 1- Jesus and God, 5- Grace, 3- Trinity.
The sum of the cubes of 1-5-3 = 153.
666 in the Bible
Most of us have heard about 666 being a mark of the devil and associated with evil. 6 is man’s number for he was created on the 6th day. Three sixes would be man (6) trying to be God (3).
In
Gn 3 we see that the fall of man was because of the serpent who was more subtle
than any beast. Satan possessed the serpent in order to speak to Eve.
Serpent
+ more + subtle are first mentions and are found in 666 verses in the Bible.
Rv 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
This is the anti-Christ that puts his number on everyone in order to buy or sell.
The first mention of
threescore is in Gn 25:7 in describing the age of Abraham. It is the 666th
verse of the Bible. There are several other places in the Bible that use sixty
rather than threescore, so there is a pattern concerning threescore. The last
mention of threescore is in Rv 13:18.
Three People Where 666 is Mentioned in Bible
Solomon we see in 1
Ki 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six
hundred threescore and six talents of gold, also in 2 Crn 9:13.
Solomon was by far
the richest man ever, he put 5000 tons of gold into the Temple. That would be
around 240 trillion dollars in value today. The Bible tells us that the love of
money is the root of all evil, 1 Tim 6:10. Could Solomon’s undoing at the end
of his reign be part of this?
Six hundred +
threescore + six has 360 mentions in the Bible. 360 is the days of the year in
that time. If you add Solomon to that search the total is 666 mentions.
In Dn 3 Nebuchadnezzar builds a statue or image of himself that measures 60cu tall and 6cu (360) wide with the very gold that he took from Solomon’s Temple.
The image
of Rev 13 and this statue both demand worship.
The 666th chapter of the Bible is Ecclesiastes 7:25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. Solomon wrote this in his old age, when things were falling apart because of his turning from God.
Is this the whore of
Babylon that is from the time of Nimrod and also mentioned in Rev 17?
Adonikam is mentioned
in Ezra 2:13 The children of Adonikam,
six hundred sixty and six. Adonikam is one who returned to Jerusalem after the
Babylonian exile. His name means, “my Lord arose.”
God did arise with
Ezra, Nehemiah, and Zerubbabel after the 70 exile and rebuilt the Temple and
Jerusalem with much trouble and resistance.
The Beast of Rev 13
who is the anti-Christ and world leader during the 7 year tribulation period is
the last person associated with 666 in the Bible.
Beast + mark + sin have
666 mentions in the Bible.
Number + mark + sin have
666 mentions in the Bible.
Solomon + Adonikam +
Beast + 6 have 666 mentions in the Bible.
Punishment for Dishonor of Word
The Bible is very clear about
changing scripture or breaking God’s Word and the dire consequences that await
those who do, Deu 28, Rev 22:19.
Jesus’
Temptation
Satan’s scouts reported it, and Satan showed up to tempt Jesus as now he knew who He was. Following Matthew’s account in chapter 4, Satan asked Jesus “If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread”. Jesus answers in vs 4, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” This is quoted from Deu 8:3.
Then the devil took Jesus to Jerusalem and stood Him on the Pinnacle of the Temple and said, “If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee and in their hands they shall bear the up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.” This is a misquote from Ps 91. Jesus said to him in vs 7, “It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” This is a quote from Deu 6:16.
Jesus told the devil to get behind Me, which is another version of get out of my sight. Then the devil left and the Angels came and ministered to Jesus.
So you say what has that got to
do with 666? Well, according to the computer research of Brandon Peterson there
are some interesting numbers here.
Deu 8:3 And he humbled thee, and
suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not,
neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not
live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth
of the LORD doth man live.
This is the 248th
verse of Deuteronomy.
Deu 6: 16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD
your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
This is the 210th
verse of Deuteronomy.
Deu 6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. 14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
This is the 207th
verse of Deuteronomy plus one, for Jesus summarized Him “only”shalt thou serve,
rather than mention all the other gods.
Adding them up you have:
248
210
207 +1
666
Jesus knew and thus the Holy
Ghost knew which verses would be used in this battle. Jesus knew that He would
speak “only” rather than the other gods, and the Holy Ghost knew the numbers
that would show that Jesus’ fight with Satan’s attempt to tempt Him with the
lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life would be met with
the power of God’s Word for the devil’s defeat…totaling 666.
Jesus
Betrayed by Tradition Verses Word
Going forward another 666 verses
takes us to Mk 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your
tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
This is the trial of the
Sanhedrin.
Jn 6:66 From that time many of
his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
This was the result of Jesus’
teaching about His Body and Blood which is the communion we take in worship and remembrance of Him.
What we have shown in this study of the marvelous wonders of the King James Bible 1611 is that God’s hand was on the translation and printing of the standard Bible that we have had for over 400 years. No matter what Bible you read, have a KJV close at hand to check your studies. There is no better translation of the Bible. This is a living book that God intended for us to trust and use to reveal the revelation of God and His love to mankind.
