The leader of such people would be Satan. And before you click away, that’s what the Bible is all about. The battle between good and evil, God and Satan.
For me, I get goose bumps. I used to think that the whole God/Satan thing was dreamt up by some good storyteller that, should he have been eligible for royalties would be the richest man in existence!
How foolish of me. I have now spent fifteen years studying God’s Word and am more inquisitive than ever before. But then again, so are many people around the world. And it’s not simply about getting wound up about some kind of conspiracy theory.
It says in the Book of Acts 17:11-12 (KJV) that the men of Berea check and tested everything that Paul and Silas said to them against the Old Testament Scriptures. And that’s exactly what we’re supposed to be doing too.
If you look at the word ‘lips’. It is mentioned in the KJV No.118 times. However, it is only mentioned in the NLT No.56 times. Why would the word ‘lips’ be so significant? It is because the Word of God gets it power from the spoken word. Whilst the kingdom of God resides inside each and every Christian, God’s power is released from spoken prayer.
Compare these two versions
Joshua 1:8 (KJV)
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8 (NLT)
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
The KJV tells the reader to keep ‘saying’ the Word, it "Shall not depart...) whereas the NLT infers that the Word can simply be studied, read and does not imply to read it out loud.
Now compare Psalm 21:2:
Psalm 21:2 (KJV)
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
Psalm 21:2 (NLT)
For you have given him his heart’s desire; you have withheld nothing he requested.
The KJV states that God has not withheld the request of his lips, the NLT infers that his request could simply be a thought.
And finally Proverbs 18:21
Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21 (NLT)
The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
The KJV says death and life ARE in the power of the tongue and the NLT infers that it might be.
The above are just a few verses that illustrate how, by simply editing a few words the whole inference and power of the verse is diminished.
God ‘spoke’ the world in to existence. There is power in the Word and we need to keep that in mind when reading and studying the Word of God. Say it out loud! As far as I am concerned, there is no such thing as silent prayer. That’s called meditation.
Words are things. They are powerful. In 1 Samuel 3:17 Elijah says to Samuel, who has just heard from the Lord in a dream; And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
I believed that whilst the modern-day Bibles are easier to read, you should also have a King James Version to cross reference as a word here or a word there (especially thousands of them) can make a whole difference to how you interpret a scripture and listen out for God.
How wrong could I have been. That’s all about to change…
I cannot ‘nutshell’ this. I believe it is impossible that a group of men were given scraps of manuscripts so that the fifty-four of them could create the King James Bible.
Here’s why. With the revelation from a YouTube channel. How many times do you have to see 7’s for you to believe that the King James Bible has been directly compiled for us by God. The list below is only the first list, there is more relating to 7x70, 153 and of course 666. How can you not be moved by this?
