Could it be possible "you" may have unknowingly become the recipient of a form of "spiritual blindness to the prophetic Scriptures", when you were first being taught the "basic foundation" of Bible prophecy?
1Corinthians 3:11 states: For OTHER FOUNDATION can no man lay than that "IS LAID", which is "JESUS CHRIST" (the pure preserved Word of God). Revelation 19:10 further informs us …for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS (CHRIST) IS the spirit of "PROPHECY". Psalm 11:3 sadly declares If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Before the Church came along some "1,967" years ago, the Nation of Israel was considered God’s chosen people. However when Jesus, their Messiah (meaning Christ), decided to pay them a visit, John 1:11 states emphatically He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Israel chose to reject his claim as being their long awaited Messiah, and instead received "the traditional teachings" of the religious crowd (Pharisees), who claimed he was but a man full of the devil, similar to what "SOME RELIGIOUS LEADERS TODAY" might call "the antichrist" (Matthew 12:24-28, Daniel 9:27).
In Matthew the 23rd chapter, shortly before his crucifixion, Jesus pronounced judgement on Israel. He ended that chapter from verses 37-39 by declaring 37) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, THOU THAT KILLEST THE PROPHETS (like Daniel today), and stonest them which are sent unto thee,… 38) BEHOLD, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. 39) FOR I SAY UNTO YOU, YE SHALL NOT "SEE ME" HENCEFORTH, TILL YE SHALL "SAY" (by repentance), BLESSED IS "he" THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD ("emphasis mine" in this verse, AS WELL AS ALL VERSES USED IN THIS STUDY!). At that moment something very mysterious happened to Israel. Because their many abominations had come "to the full" at that time in Jesus mind, their desolation began to "come upon there MINDS in the form of "SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS"! We know this "spiritual blindness" actually began then, because within three days they screamed … Crucify him, crucify him in Luke 23:21! Daniel said it like this in Daniel 9:27 …and for the overspreading of abominations "he"(CHRIST) SHALL MAKE IT DESOLATE, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon THE DESOLATE.
Paul tells us in Roman’s 11:25: For I would NOT, brethren, THAT YE SHOULD BE IGNORANT OF THIS MYSTERY…THAT "BLINDNESS IN PART" IS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL,…(and the "Israel of God" ALSO-Gal. 6:15-16!) Then in 2Cor. 3:14, Paul tells us more about those "Christ rejecters": BUT "THEIR MINDS WERE BLINDED": FOR UNTIL THIS DAY REMAINETH THE SAME VAIL "UNTAKEN AWAY" IN THE READING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT; WHICH VAIL IS "DONE AWAY" IN CHRIST. Paul in Galatians 6:16 refers to "the church" ("new creature" in the previous verse 15) as…"THE ISRAEL OF GOD". Now if WE "THE ISRAEL OF GOD":THE CHURCH, reject …"the Messiah the prince" (Daniel 9:24 -"27") IN THE READING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (Dan. 9:27: "he" = Christ), by believing the traditions of men (which tradition is: the antichrist is the "he" in Dan. 9:27, as " taught extensively" in the 20th Century), instead of the pure Word of God ("he" in Dan. 9:27 is actually CHRIST in KJV)! Then doesn’t it make perfect sense that "BLINDNESS IN PART" WILL COME ON "THE CHURCH" (the Israel of God) "IN LIKE MANNER" as it did also on the Jews before us, in the particular area of Scripture wherin WE REJECT THE MESSIAH? Is God a respecter of persons?
God promises to give "light" to the gentiles in Luke 2:32:…A light to lighten the gentiles,…THRU the Messiah (meaning Christ ="he" in Dan. 9:27)! However, if we CHOOSE TO REJECT THIS LIGHT (Christ as the "he" in Dan. 9:27 KJV), and substitute it for the "TRADITION’S OF MEN" (antichrist as the "he" in Dan. 9:27 RV) instead, then THIS LIGHT REJECTED BECOMES LIGHTENING, and we are "quickly" left in DARKNESS! That’s what it means in Matthew 6:23 when Jesus said:…IF THEREFORE "THE LIGHT" THAT IS IN THEE ("THE LIGHT from" the "RV ‘Anti’christ" is "THAT DARKNESS"!) BE DARKNESS, "HOW GREAT" IS "THAT DARKNESS"! John 12:35 states: Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. WALK IN THE LIGHT, LEST DARKNESS COME UPON YOU: FOR HE THAT WALKETH IN DARKNESS KNOWETH NOT WHITHER HE GOETH. And Jesus further declares in Matthew 15:14: LET THEM ALONE: THEY BE BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND. And IF "THE BLIND" LEAD "THE BLIND", BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH. If you will receive what "the pure Word of God" (The Authorized King James Bible) says, rather than "the traditions of men", found in "ALL" REVISED VERSIONS (RV) of the Bible, then you will have in your hands…"THE TRUE LIGHT", WHICH "LIGHTETH" EVERY MAN THAT COMETH INTO THE WORLD (John 1:9) that will shine on your path throughout your life and lead you to the paths of righteousness and NOT to the paths of destruction! Look what the Lord says in Psalm 119:105… THY WORD ("he" in Dan. 9:27=Messiah=Christ=the Word of God =KJV) IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET, AND "A LIGHT" UNTO MY PATH.
Now at some point, early in the life of every 20th Century Christian, that is interested in Bible prophecy, they will be confronted with a choice to make, which is: TO BELIEVE THE TRADITIONAL TEACHING "ROOTED" IN THE REVISED VERSION BIBLE (RV) THAT STATES: "THE ‘he’ IN DANIEL 9:27 IS THE ANTICHRIST", RATHER THAN SIMPLY BELIEVING WHAT THE PURE WORD OF GOD DECLARES IN THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE: "THE ‘he’ IN DANIEL 9:27 IS CHRIST"!!! At that point in the life of a Christian, when he "REJECTS THE MESSIAH" in THE READING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (specifically in Daniel 9:27), THEN "A VAIL OF SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS" WILL BE PLACED ON "HIS MIND", BY THE LORD, IN THE AREA WHICH DANIEL 9:27 EFFECTS: NAMELY BIBLE PROPHECY! Individuals in a leadership capacity such as Pastors, teachers etc. who have "THIS PROPHETIC VAIL" over their minds, would be like "THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND" (Matt. 15:14), until they realize their error AND REPENT from calling JESUS CHRIST THE ANTICHRIST, and rejecting their Messiah! Only then can "Christ himself" remove that "VAIL" from their "Spiritual eyes" in understanding Biblical prophecy!
You see, the 20th Century architects of "the majority" of the prophetic teachings we are fed today in our Sunday Schools, Churches, Bible Colleges, seminaries etc. etc, "ALL" consider those "four verses" of Scripture found in Daniel 9:24-27, "IN THE READING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT", "critically important" for the Christian that has been strategically placed in "THE LAST GENERATION" by God! The Rev. Clearance Larken, in his book THE BOOK OF DANIEL (page 176) said: "this vision of the 70 weeks" is THE MOST IMPORTANT REVELATION IN MANY WAYS, MADE IN THE SCRIPTURES. IT IS NOT ONLY AN INTERPRETATION OF "PROPHETIC CHRONOLOGY", BUT IT IS "THE KEY" THAT UNLOCKS "THE SCRIPTURE OF TRUTH!" The 1944 classic book, "The Secrets Of Prophecy" (page 21) states DANIEL 9:24-27 is "THE MOLD OF PROPHECY", AND IS "THE KEY" TO "ALL" SUBSEQUENT PROPHETIC TRUTH!" John Walvoord, in his book DANIEL: "THE KEY" TO PROPHETIC REVELATION (page 236), said that Daniel 9:24-27, is "THE KEY" TO UNDERSTANDING THE PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES, AND ONE OF "THE MOST IMPORTANT KEYS" TO UNDERSTANDING "THE SCRIPTURES AS A WHOLE"! Henry Ironside, in his book DANIEL (page 171), called Daniel 9:24-27 "THE BACKBONE OF PROPHECY"! The Rev C.I Scofield, D.D., in 1909, published THE SCOFIELD REFERENCE BIBLE, which "REVOLUTIONIZED" 20th Century Christianity, by giving them A STUDY BIBLE with "cross references and FOOT NOTES" that greatly aided the advancement of fundamentalism in the United States. The problem is, C.I. Scofield WAS A PERSONAL FRIEND OF A "PROMINENT" ENGLISHMAN NAMED "SIR ROBERT ANDERSON", who wrote the book: "THE COMING PRINCE", which is considered "THE STANDARD" WORK on the subject of "Daniel’s vision of the 70 weeks" in Daniel 9:24-27! Because of his friendship with Anderson, Rev. Scofield added notes in his reference Bible on Daniel 9:24-27 (Pages 914 and 915) THAT PERFECTLY AGREED WITH ANDERSON’S CORRUPT (RV) RENDERING OF DANIEL 9:27! See for yourself. Notice, for instance, "the last two words" in Daniel 9:27: "the desolate" (g), has been changed to THE DESOLATOR in his "footnotes". This seemingly little "change" AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFIES the "he" in the same sentence structure (verse 27), "ALSO" AS THE DESOLATOR! NOW FRIEND, THAT IS NOT WHAT GOD SAID, but the 20th Century "Laodicean Christian" embraced that teaching (the "he" in Daniel 9:27 is the antichrist) JUST LIKE THE ALMIGHTY HAD SAID IT HIMSELF; BUT HE DIDN’T! Interestingly, both Anderson and Scofield were LAWYERS as well as close personal friends, and both "kissed up to SCHOLARS and EDUCATORS", rather than KISS THE SON (KJV) lest HE BE ANGRY…(Psalm 2:12).
All these men mentioned above, and MANY more, for the most part, "relied heavily" on "THE STANDARD TEACHINGS" FOUND IN SIR ROBERT ANDERSON’S BOOK: "THE COMING PRINCE", written early in the 1900’s, as "THEIR FOUNDATION" and "STANDARD" for "their interpretation" of "Daniel’s vision of the 70 weeks", instead of studying it out thoroughly for themselves! What "MOST" King James Bible believing Christian’s don’t even know, IS "THE FACT" THAT "SATAN SUBTLY" SWITCHED (see pages 51 and 52 in chapter 9) in the book: "THE COMING PRINCE", "THE KEY" OF KNOWLEDGE (Luke 11:52), WHEN SIR ROBERT ANDERSON "SUBSTITUTED" THOSE PURE KING JAMES BIBLE VERSES IN DANIEL 9:24-27 which declares the "he" AS CHRIST, WITH THE "PERVERTED" REVISED VERSION BIBLE (RV-1885) TEXT, which declares the "he" is the antichrist! THEREFORE, "THE FOUNDATION" AND "ROOT" of the book "THE COMING PRINCE", which is considered "THE STANDARD WORK" IN THE FIELD ON THE SUBJECT OF "DANIEL’S VISION OF THE 70t WEEKS, and used by "those 20th Century prophetic giants" mentioned above, has AS "THEIR ROOT": THE PERVERTED "REVISED VERSION BIBLE" (RV) OF 1885! Therefore, we can conclude, since the above men were but a sampling of "the many architects" that formed "the majority" of the prophetic teachings we are taught today, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: "THE MODERN PROPHETIC TEACHINGS" WE ARE TAUGHT "TODAY", IN THE "VERY END" OF THE 20th CENTURY, ACTUALLY HAVE AS "THEIR FOUNDATION", "THE SEED OF THE SERPENT" (Gen.3:15): "THE REVISED VERSION" (RV) OF 1885! "THINK ABOUT IT"!!! "NOW", please consider again this appropriate Scripture in Psalm 11:3 IF "THE FOUNDATIONS" BE DESTROYED, "WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO"? That is why I’m doing every thing I can in my power to WARN YOU of this terrible tragedy Satan has inflicted on YOU, THE LAST GENERATION CHRISTIAN! Jesus, in Luke 21:35 says: For as A SNARE shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
When certain "KEY WORDS" were intentionally changed in Daniel 9:27, which completely "reversed" the intended meaning of that verse, "THE EFFECT" OF "THIS CHANGE" BECAME "THE TAP-ROOT" of "ALL" THE MODERN 20th CENTURY "PROPHETIC TEACHINGS" WE HAVE TODAY! IF "THE ROOT" BE UN-HOLY, SO ARE THE BRANCHES AND "THE FRUIT"!
Let these sayings sink deep down into your ears. Luke 11:52 WOE UNTO YOU LAWYERS!
FOR YE HAVE TAKEN AWAY "THE KEY" OF KNOWLEDGE (which is the KJV): ye entered not in yourselves, AND THEM THAT WERE ENTERING IN YE HINDERED. 2Cor. 2:17 For we are not as many, WHICH "CORRUPT THE WORD OF GOD": but as of sincerity, but as of God, IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, SPEAK WE IN CHRIST. Isaiah 5:20 WOE UNTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD and GOOD EVIL; that PUT DARKNESS (in the RV) FOR LIGHT (in the KJV) AND LIGHT FOR DARKNESS,… Jeremiah 7:8 BEHOLD, YE TRUST IN "LYING WORDS" (in the RV) THAT "CANNOT" PROFIT. Matthew 15:14 LET THEM ALONE: THEY BE BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND. AND IF THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND, BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH. Matthew 15:7-9 YE HYPOCRITES well did Esaias prophesy of you saying, THIS PEOPLE DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, AND HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS; BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. 9) BUT "IN VAIN" THEY DO WORSHIP ME, "TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES" THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. Psalm 119:104 THROUGH THY PRECEPTS IF GET UNDERSTANDING: THEREFORE I HATE EVERY "FALSE WAY". Deut. 29:18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, WHOSE HEART TURNETH AWAY THIS DAY FROM THE LORD OUR GOD ("he" in Dan. 9:27), TO GO AND SERVE THE GODS (the RV’s) OF THESE NATIONS; LEST THERE BE AMONG YOU "A ROOT" THAT "BEARETH GALL AND WORMWOOD". Isaiah 5:24 Therefore as the fire dvoureth the stuble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, SO "THEIR ROOT" SHALL BE "AS ROTTENNESS", AND THEIR BLOSSOM SHALL GO UP AS DUST: "BECAUSE THEY HAVE "CAST AWAY" THE LAW OF "THE LORD" (Dan. 9:27 KJV) AND "DESPISED THE WORD" OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ("he" = Messiah = Christ in Dan. 9:27). Isaiah 11:10 And in THAT DAY there shall be a "A ROOT OF JESSE" ("he" = Christ in Dan. 9:27) which shall stand for an ENSIGN (or "sign" or token) of the people; TO IT (the root & sign) THE GENTILES SEEK: and his rest shall be glorious. Interestingly, the GENTILE CHRISTIANS TODAY "SEEK THE CORRUPT ROOT", ("he" = antichrist in the Dan. 9:27 Revised Version ‘RV’ "perversion"), and it’s fruit", instead of the TRUTH found in the Authorized King James Bible ("he" = "CHRIST" in Dan. 9:27 in the KJV)!! What could this action be a SIGN (ensign) off in the near future? Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is holy: AND IF AND "IF THE ROOT BE HOLY" ("he" = Christ = holy in Dan. 9:27 in KJV), SO ARE THE BRANCHES. SO WHAT IF "THE ROOT" BE " UN-HOLY" ("he" = antichrist in Dan. 9:27 RV)? AS IN ALL THE REVISED VERSION BIBLES (RV) FROM "1885" AD to the present? THEN IT WOULD NATURALLY PRODUCE "UN-HOLY FRUIT=ANTICHRIST" RIGHT? Luke 3:9 AND "NOW" ALSO "THE AXE" IS LAID UNTO "THE ROOT" (RV = "he" in Dan. 9:27) "OF THE TREES" (ALL MODERN ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS EXCEPT THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE!): "EVERY TREE" THEREFORE WHICH BRINGETH NOT FORTH "GOOD FRUIT" IS HEWN DOWN, AND "CAST INTO THE FIRE". Revelation 22:16 I JESUS HAVE SENT MINE ANGEL TO TESTIFY UNTO YOU THESE THINGS IN THE CHURCHES. " I AM THE ROOT" ("he" = Christ in Daniel 9:27) and OFFSPRING OF DAVID, AND THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR. Psalm 43:3 O SEND OUT "THY LIGHT" ( KJV = "he" = Christ in Dan. 9:27) AND THY TRUTH: LET "THEM" LEAD ME. LET THEM BRING ME UNTO THY HOLY HILL, AND TO THY TABERNACLES. John 12:35 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, YET A LITTLE WHILE IS THE LIGHT WITH YOU. WALK WHILE YE HAVE "THE LIGHT" (the pure Authorized King James Bible), LEST DARKNESS COME UPON YOU: FOR "he" THAT WALKETH IN DARKNESS (RV = antichrist = "he" in Dan. 9:27) KNOWETH NOT WHITHER HE GOETH. NEVER FORGET THIS TRUTH: "LIGHT REJECTED BECOMES LIGHTENING ", and when it quickly vanishes away, "THEN" ONLY DARKNESS REMAINS!
Dear friend, have you rejected "THE LIGHT" in God’s Holy Word: "THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE", that declares the "he" in Daniel 9:27 is "CHRIST" and NOT "antichrist", as "traditionally" taught today? Have you ever believed in a future "7-year" tribulation period, where "the antichrist" is supposed to "MAKE" "a 7-year "peace covenant" with "the many" in Israel? "If you will STUDY Daniel 9:24-27 "thoroughly" for yourself, and not just take someone else’s interpretation AS YOUR OWN without first comparing it against Scripture (1Thess 5:21 & Acts 17:10-11), you will discover for yourself, THE FIRST ½ of Daniels 70th week (3 1/2 yrs), has "already ended" at "THE CROSS"! And that ONLY leaves "½ week" (3 ½ years) STILL "IN THE FUTURE" TO BE FULFILLED! HAVE YOU EVER "SAID" OR "BELIEVED" THESE WORDS: "THE TRIBULATION PERIOD", "TRIBULATION PERIOD", or "THE SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD"? "DID YOU KNOW, THAT NONE OF THESE PHRASES ARE EVEN FOUND IN THE KING JAMES BIBLE"! Have you ever said, or believed "THE ANTICHRIST" (as the coming prince in Dan. 9:27), "RISES OUT OF THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE", instead of the "ARAB" or "HASHEMITE KINGDOM"? If you have believed or teach "the majority" of these things we have just mentioned above, then you have "UNKNOWINGLY" REJECTED CHRIST in "Daniel 9:27", AND SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS HAS "ALREADY" FLOODED YOUR MIND AND UNDERSTANDING, CONCERNING BIBLICAL PROPHECY; "AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW IT"!!! Friend, God is "no respecter" of persons. I myself personally believed and taught those same things for the first 17 years or so of my Christian life, until I REPENTED and ask the Father to forgive me of "rejecting Christ" in Daniel 9:27! "Surely" you can "NOW SEE" what an "ENORMOUS DECEPTION" SATAN has pulled off on the 20th Century Laodicean Christian. That is why Jesus warns us in Matthew 24:4 about the days we are living in NOW!…TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. This blunt statement would naturally imply there would be "GREAT DECEPTION" "rampant" during the time just prior to his return during the last generation, which began on May 14, 1948!
Just think about it for a moment. If you were the devil, where in the BIBLE would you attack the Word of God to inflict the most damage to the last generation Christian? That’s right, AT "THE ROOT" or "FOUNDATION"! Daniel 9:24-27 is "THE KEY" that either "LOCKS" or "UNLOCKS" your understanding of Biblical prophecy! Paul basically tells us in 1 Cor. 10:11, that the whole Bible was written for the benefit of the Christian that is alive when "the ends of the world art come upon them". And Paul tells us about the Word’s power in 1Thess 2:13: …as it is in truth, THE WORD OF GOD WHICH "EFFECTUALLY WORKETH"ALSO IN YOU THAT BELIEVE!" But we have been given a FREE WILL to either "RECEIVE HIS PURE WORD IN THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB), OR REJECT HIS PURE WORD (KJV), and "SUBSTITUTE" it instead, with "the traditions of men" (RV), brought about by Satan’s influence! That’s why Jesus himself WARNED US about this, in Mark 7:13 …MAKING THE WORD OF GOD OF "NONE EFFECT" THROUGH YOUR TRADITION,… What that actually tells us, is those "traditions of men" actually destroy, "the power" contained in the Word, "IN US"! We are NOW entering into "the time" on this earth the Bible refers to as "PERILOUS TIMES" in 2 Timothy 3:1. It is absolutely imperative we have in our possession and use the pure Word of God, which will EFFECTUALY WORK IN US THAT BELIEVE (1Thess. 2:13), during the difficult days ahead! Paul exhorts us to …earnestly contend (fight) for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints in Jude 3! "The faith" is contained in the PURE PRESERVED WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEARTS ("KJV"-Romans 10:17), and Paul tells us to fight for it! Jesus requires "this last generation Church" to be an OVERCOMER, if we are to sit with him on his throne, as he said to THE LAODICIAN CHURCH in Rev. 3:21. And in Rev. 12:11 he explains the "mechanics of overcoming" by saying: And they OVERCAME him by "THE BLOOD" OF THE LAMB, and by "THE WORD" of their testimony (2Cor. 3:2); and they loved not their lives unto the death. And also in 1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: AND "THIS IS THE VICTORY" THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN "OUR FAITH" (and pure faith only cometh by hearing THE PURE WORD Rom 10:17). Now for us to HAVE THE ABILITY to be "AN OVERCOMER", by using the POWER of "THE BLOOD and FAITH" contained in THE WORD OF GOD, we must have in our possession AND HEARTS, GOD’S PURE PRESERVED WORD (KJV), WHICH …"EFFECTUALLY WORKETH" ALSO IN "YOU" THAT BELIEVE. 1Thess. 2:13.
WHAT IF "THE VICTORY" (our faith), CONTAINED IN "THE FAITH" (in the Word), which "WORD" IS "THE FOUNDATION" OF OUR "END TIME" BELIEF SYSTEM (Phil. 2:12); had been "SUBTILY SUBSTITUTED" (1Cor. 3:11, Mt. 7:24-27) IN 1885, WITH "THE SERPENT’S WORD" INSTEAD (Gen 3:1 & 3:15)? WHAT KIND OF "EFFECT" DO YOU THINK "THIS ‘OTHER’ PERVERTED WORD"(THE TRADITIONS OF MEN found in ALL Revised Versions-"RV"), would have, on THE LIVES of "THE LAST GENERATION" CHRISTIAN TODAY? "Making" THE WORD OF GOD OF "NONE EFFECT" THROUGH YOUR TRADITION ("rooted" in the RV), which YE HAVE DELIVERED: and MANY such "LIKE THINGS" Mark 7:13! THAT’s EXACTLY RIGHT: IT WOULD "KILL" THE OVERCOMING "POWER" AND "VICTORY" CONTAINED IN THE PURE WORD, and leave us DEFENSELESS, because our "ONLY" OFFENSIVE WEAPON HAD BEEN "DESTROYED"! In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus said it in "RED LETTERS" like this: 24) Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, AND DOETH them, I WILL LIKEN HIM unto A WISE MAN, which BUILT HIS HOUSE ON A ROCK (Jesus: the Word of God-"KJV"): 25) And the rain descended, and the floods came ("as" in the day’s of Noah-Mt. 24:37), and the winds blew, and "beat upon" that house; AND IT FELL NOT: FOR IT WAS FOUNDED UPON"A ROCK" (KJV). 26) And every one that HEARETH THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOETH THEM "NOT" (because they are blind), shall be likened unto A FOOLISH MAN, WHICH BUILT "HIS HOUSE" UPON "THE SAND" (the sand is the RV): 27) And the rain descended, and the floods came ("as" in the day’s of Noah-Luke 17:26-27) and the winds blew, and beat upon THAT HOUSE; "AND IT FELL": AND "GREAT WAS THE FALL OF IT". … yea, LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR; "AS IT IS WRITTEN",…in Romans 3:4 (KJV)!
Paul pleads with us in Ephesians 6:11-18 to: 11) Put on the WHOLE armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST "THE WILES OF THE DEVIL" 12) for WE WRESTLE not against flesh and blood, but "AGAINST" PRINCIPALITIES, "AGAINST" POWERS, "AGAINST" THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, "AGAINST" SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN "HIGH PLACES". 13) WHEREFORE "TAKE UNTO YOU" "THE WHOLE" ARMOUR OF GOD, THAT YE MAY "BE ABLE" TO "STAND" IN THE EVIL DAY, AND HAVING DONE ALL, "TO STAND". "STAND THEREFORE", having your loins girt about with TRUTH (…THY Word: ‘KJV’ is "TRUTH" Jn 17:17), and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) "ABOVE ALL", "TAKING" THE SHIELD OF FAITH (faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the WORD OF GOD Romans 10:17), wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH "ALL" "THE FIREY DARTS" OF THE WICKED. 17) (also "ABOVE ALL") "AND TAKE" THE HELMET OF SALVATION, "AND"(take) "THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS "THE WORD OF GOD": 18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in THE SPIRIT (the Word is Spirit - John 6:63), AND WATCHING thereunto WITH ALL PERSEVERANCE and SUPPLICATION FOR "ALL" SAINTS.
Notice in all the components of this MIGHTY SPIRITUAL ARMOUR, there is but "ONE" OFFENSIVE WEAPON" (verse-12) …"TAKE"…"THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT", WHICH "IS THE WORD OF GOD": Look what Paul further says about "THIS SWORD" in Hebrew 4:12: For "THE WORD OF GOD" IS "QUICK" (living), AND "POWERFUL", AND SHARPER THAN ANY "TWOEDGED SWORD" (two edges: one to cut the devil, and the other to cut our flesh), piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,, and of the joints and marrow, and is "A DISCERNER" (Judge) of the thoughts and intents of the heart. THIS "TWOEDGED SWORD" (KJV), OUR "ONLY" OFFENSIVE WEAPON GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR US TO "FIGHT AGAINST THE DEVIL AND OUR FLESH", IS "POWERFUL"!!!
Revelation 12:4-5, informs us: SATAN’S MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO "DEVOUR" THE SON OF GOD (the Word): 4)…the DRAGON (Satan) STOOD BEFORE THE WOMAN which was ready to be delivered, FOR TO "DEVOUR" HER CHILD (Jesus the Word of God) 4) …."as soon as it was born. 5) And she brought forth A MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron (Rev. 19:13-15): and her child was caught up (Acts 1:9) unto God, and to his throne. We have in our possession "THAT ‘GROWN-UP’ CHILD" TODAY (Jesus, "The Word" of God": The Authorized King James Bible), which has NOW "grown" into "PERFECTION" (Heb 5:9 & 1Cor. 13:10 …that which is perfect is come in 1852), having been purified "seven times" from 1611 until 1852, according to "the promise of preservation" found in Psalm 12:6-7! Then "33" YEARS LATER, "THE SERPENTS SEED": the un-holy "anti-Christ" Revised Version Bible (RV), after being planted in 1879, grew to maturity "6" years later, and was published as "the" so-called "8th-revision" of the King James Bible" "in 1885 AD"! HOWEVER, THIS "PERVERSION" OF THE BIBLE, INSTEAD, OPENED THE DOOR ON THIS PLANET TO UNIMAGINABLE "SATANIC FORCES", THAT RUSHED IN AND "FLOODED THE MINDS" OF BIBLE SCHOLARS, BIBLE EDUCATORS, AND SEMINARY PROFESSORS, Pastors, teachers, and laymen alike, with "the seed of the serpent’s word", that originally was planted back in Gen 3:1-7 (yea hath God said?), and in Gen 3:15 (thy seed)! That is why, in 1885, a "NEW STANDARD" arrived on the scene: The REVISED VERSION BIBLE OF 1885 (RV)! During this time of unprecedented "occult activity" on earth, "BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP" BEGAN TO SUPERCEDE THE FINAL AUTHORITY OF THE WORD OF GOD FOR FAITH AND PRACTICE, AS "THE STANDARD" IN BIBLE SEMINARIES AND BIBLE COLLEGES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD!
" NOW", 115 YEARS LATER, "THE GREAT FALLING AWAY" (2Thess. 2:3) has almost come to the FULL, as Amos 8:11-12 is being fulfilled RIGHT NOW: Behold, the days come (1885-2000), saith the Lord God, THAT I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, NOT A FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, "BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD": 12) And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the EAST, and they SHALL RUN TO AND FRO (Daniel 12:4), TO SEEK THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND SHALL NOT FIND IT. According to the Sept. 25, 1995 US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT MAGAZINE ARTICLE on page 27, the last paragraph says: "IN ALL, THERE ARE "NOW" OVER 450 VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE IN ENGLISH ALONE"! NOW I ASK YOU, did God write all those "different" 450 versions of the English speaking Bibles? NO OF COURSE HE DIDN’T! God only wrote "ONE BIBLE", and he has faithfully preserved HIS WORD, according to his promise of preservation in Psalm 12:6-7, in The Authorized King James Bible, last revised in 1852! But TODAY, in the end, of "the time of the end", when "…many shall run to and fro", and "knowledge shall be increased" (Dan. 12:4), this information you are reading right now, which is "the truth", will be labeled "A HERESY" by the MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS TODAY (read 2Peter 2:2-3)! You see, Satan has "SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFORMED" our "only" offensive weapon (Eph. 6:17): THE SHARP POWERFUL "TWO- EDGED SWORD" (Heb. 4:12), INTO A WEAK PLASTIC SINGLE-EDGED "PICNIC KNIFE", WITH A SERATED EDGE!
Let’s regress back a moment to "The 1991 Gulf War". The military strategy (wiles), our top generals used, which was "so successful" in quickly winning the Gulf War, was to COMPLETELY DESTROY THE "OFFENSIVE WEAPONS" CAPABILITY OF THE IRAQ ARMY, "BEFORE" SENDING IN THE GROUND TROOPS! Then, when the ground troops invaded, they "BROKE THE BACK" of the "DEFENSELESS" ELITE IRAQ REPUBLICAN GUARD, like you would break a "plastic picnic knife", with minimum losses to the coalition! Similarly, Satan has destroyed the "last generation" Christian’s ONLY OFFENSIVE WEAPON: "THE PURE WORD" OF GOD’S "DOUBLE EDGED SWORD" (KJV-1852), by REPLACING it with his "perverted" 449+ Revised Versions of the Bible, published since 1852, and their traditions, in the majority of Christendom today! Since 1885, the serpent’s SATANIC FORCES have "strategically infiltrated"and invaded THE LAODICIAN CHURCH (Rev. 3:14-22) TODAY, and left us POWERLESS and DEFENSELESS to stave off SATAN’S SOON COMING FINAL ASSAULT OF THE "STRONG DELUSION" (2Thess. 2:11), "AND SNARE" (Luke 21:35), in the days just ahead, by destroying our foundation: THE WORD OF GOD! Look how far the Church has fallen from the "UNITY" and "POWER" of the 1st generation Christian in Acts 2, to the present: THE YEAR 2000 AD! Today there is practically NO UNITY at all in "the Body of Christ", AND THEREFORE "NO" POWER! I’m not talking about all "the churches" and "denominations" scattered throughout the world, I’M REFERRING TO "THE CHURCH": THE BODY OF CHRIST (1Cor 12:12-27)!
NOW, can you "clearly see" why Paul warns us to "put on the whole armour of God", in Ephesians 6:11, that YE MAY BE ABLE TO STAND "AGAINST" (offensively) "THE WILES" (strategies) OF THE DEVIL? That is why I‘m taking such a hard "stand" in this paper: "against" ALL the UN-authorized new translations of the Bible, published since "THE OCTAVO REFERENCE BIBLE of 1852": the "7th revision", purified (Ps 12:6-7), and perfected (1 Cor. 13:10). The Authorized King James Bible; that was made available to the public at large in 1852, by Almighty God! Henceforth, all "modern" non-copyrighted "AUTHORIZED" King James Bibles, should reflect no more changes whatsoever, because you can’t improve on PERFECTION! That’s why SATAN, "33" years later, began to DEVOUR the Word of God, and instigated the publishing of the anti-Christ (Rev. 6:1-2) "Revised Version Bible (RV) of 1885, along with the accompanying "MODERN TEXTUAL CRITICISM" it gave birth to! Truly, Satan’s strategy of destroying "THE LAST GENERATION CHURCH’S" ONLY OFFENSIVE WEAPON: THE POWERFUL "DOUBLED SWORD" (KJV), by "SUBSTITUTING" it with a "weak" single edged plastic picnic knife (RV) in it’s place, has been 99% successful! IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED, "WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO? Psalm 11:3! If you DO NOT have the true Word of God, The Authorized King James Bible, GET IT TODAY, while you still can!
Listen to what Revelation 3:10 says: BECAUSE THOU HAS "KEPT" (# 5083-meaning "TO GUARD from LOSS OR INJURY by keeping the eye upon") THE WORD of my patience, I also will "KEEP" (#5083-also meaning "TO GUARD from LOSS OR INJURY by keeping the eye upon") "THEE" from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, TO TRY THEM THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH. I know this is so hard to believe, but THE TRUTH WILL OPEN YOUR EYES, AND MAKE YOU FREE (John 8:32)! If we were not the "LAST GENERATION" the Bible speaks about in Matthew 24:34, then this booklet wouldn’t be as relevant. However, WE HAVE BEEN IN THE "LAST GENERATION" since May 14, 1948, AND "PRESENTLY" ("April 27, 2000"), ARE IN "THE VERY END" OF THIS LAST GENERATION!
Five hundred years before Christ, an ancient saying by a man named Hericlatus, became popular, which was: "BECAUSE IT IS SO UNBELIEVABLE, THE TRUTH ESCAPES BECOMING KNOWN"! I can’t think of a saying that fits more accurately what I have just told you: BUT IT’S THE TRUTH! Am I THEREFORE BECOME YOUR ENEMY, BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH. Gal. 4:16! LET GOD BE TRUE AND "EVERY MAN" A LIAR Romans 3:4.
Please Christian Brother or Sister, "REPENT NOW", AND ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU OF CALLING HIS SON "THE ANTICHRIST" IN DANIEL 9:27! "WHEN YOU REJECT THE TRUTH", ALL THAT IS LEFT TO BELIEVE IS "A LIE"! I John 1:9 says: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM "ALL" UNRIGHTEOUS. Don’t let your "PRIDE" hinder you from straightening this thing out. PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION…Proverbs 16:18. Don’t let your "KNOWLEDGE" hinder you either, because…KNOWLEDGE "PUFFETH UP" 1Cor. 8:1. You and I both don’t know so much, that we can’t learn something new! Many many fundamental King James Bible believing Christians, exalt their "extensive knowledge" of prophecy EVEN ABOVE THE TRUTH IN THE WORD, and "follow" the "teachings" and "traditions of men" instead! I personally would NOT want to stand in front of Jesus at the Judgement Seat Of Christ "TREMBLING", as I confessed to him there, that I had called him the antichrist while here on earth! 2 Cor 5:10-11 says it this way: For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH HE HAS DONE, whether good "OR BAD". 11) KNOWING THEREFORE "THE TERROR OF THE LORD" we persuade men;… You think the Lord’s going to be "happy" with you for referring to him as the antichrist? As for me and my house, we had rather be considered folks that "TREMBLETH AT HIS WORD" instead ( Isaiah 66:2)!
This friend is a very very serious matter, and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Because we have "A JUDGE" and "FINAL AUTHORITY" here on earth: THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE, that will judge us all in that day. John 12:47-48 declares And if any man hear my words, and believe not I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48) HE THAT REJECTETH ME (in Dan.9:27), AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS, (just as they are written) HATH ONE THAT JUDGETH HIM: "THE WORD" THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, "THE SAME" SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. "Awake" thou that sleepest, …and Christ shall give thee light. Eph 5:14, and THAT LIGHT only comes from the pure Word of God: The Authorized King James Bible!
Brother, don’t be guilty of "denying the Lord that bought you" (2 Peter 2:1), by believing the "he" in Daniel 9:27 is the antichrist instead "of Christ"! "CHOOSE YOU" "THIS DAY" whom ye will serve: Christ (KJV) or antichrist (RV)! From this point on, I believe God will hold you "accountable" for what you do with "this truth": whether you "receive it", or "reject it"!
I call heaven and earth to record THIS DAY against YOU,, that I HAVE SET BEFORE "YOU" "LIFE"(KJV) and DEATH (RV), BLESSING and CURSING ("Christ" or antichrist): THEREFORE "CHOOSE LIFE", THAT BOTH THOU AND "THY SEED" MAY LIVE: Deut 30:19.
Friend, If you just repented of "THIS EVIL" (calling Jesus the antichrist in Daniel 9:27), God "for sure" has opened your spiritual eyes by removing that prophetic vail "you" and "he" placed over your mind long ago. It is very important you recognize the ministry of "The Holy Ghost" that lives within you (assuming you have been born-again Jn. 3:3): AS THE "ONLY" TEACHER YOU NEED, according to John 14:26, and ASK HIM TO TEACH YOU each time you study the Word, because you actually have "the author of the Bible" (The Holy Ghost) living in you, leading you in the truth of the word by ...comparing spiritual things (Scriptures) with spiritual (Scriptures) 1Cor 2:13. "NOW", you will truly be able to understand this verse: THE EYES of "YOUR" UNDERSTANDING being enLIGHTENED; THAT YE MAY "KNOW" what is the HOPE of his calling, and what is the RICHES OF THE GLORY OF HIS INHERITANCE "IN THE SAINTS" Eph. 1:18. please write or e-mail me, and let me know if this booklet has helped you "see better". Write to: David W. Burnette, 303 N. Main St., Galax, Va. 24333, or go to my web-site: THE WATCHMAN TIMES "TO SEE MORE" http://www.watchmantimes.com and drop me an e-mail. Now If you just don’t believe this stuff, then I suggest you be like THE BEREANANS in Acts 17:10-11, and SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES TO SEE IF THESE THINGS BE SO! Or, do as Paul admonishes in 1Thessalonians 5:21: "PROVE ALL THINGS"; HOLD FAST THAT WHICH IS GOOD. If you find something in ERROR in this study, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, and I will promptly correct it! HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES. Rev. 3:22 May GOD BLESS YOU BY OPENING YOUR EYES AND EARS TO THESE TRUTHS.
These are the "petitions" I desire of Him 1John 5:15, and my confession to Him, WHICH WILL NOT RETURN VOID!
Note: The following, is my prayer and "my way" of bringing to pass the "above truths", by "calling those things that be not as though they were", by "framing my words" (with HIS WORD), as you would "frame a house", in advance of the "finish carpenter’s" arrival! I believe the Lord JESUS CHRIST IS "MY" FINISH CARPENTER, and would have me cast "HIS WORD" in front of me (Isaiah 45:2-3, Psalm 119:105), and use his word as a "BLUEPRINT" (Proverbs 6:21-23), to frame this house, so he can come after I have finished the framing, and "fill in and complete" the work that he initially began in me over seven years ago! Please don’t cast the above words about "Spiritual blindness" behind you, like some might have done in Psalm 50:16-17. I pray NOW the Lord Jesus Christ, my advocate (1Jn. 2:1), will take these faith filled words (Heb. 4:2) to my Heavenly Father, as MOSES took "the peoples words to JEHOVAH in Exodus 19:8! 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. Isaiah 55:11. AMEN!
Isaiah 49:2-3 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Roman’s 4:17…"As it is written"…calleth those things which be not as though they were. Hebrews 11:1-3 1) "NOW" FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF "THINGS HOPED FOR", THE EVIDENCE "OF THINGS NOT SEEN". 2) For by "IT" ("FAITH") the elders "OBTAINED" A GOOD REPORT. 3) "THROUGH FAITH" we understand that "THE WORLDS WERE ‘FRAMED’ BY THE WORD OF GOD", SO THAT THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN WERE NOT MADE OF THINGS WHICH DO APPEAR. Proverbs 18:21 "DEATH" and "LIFE" ARE IN THE "POWER OF THE TONGUE": AND THEY THAT LOVE IT SHALL EAT "THE FRUIT" THEREOF. Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me saying, this is the Word of the Lord unto zerubbable (meaning "seed of Babel; born at Babylon"), SAYING, "NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS". Luke 3:9 says: And "NOW" (May 1st,, 2000 "AD") also THE AXE is laid unto "THE ROOT" ("he" is antichrist in Daniel 9:27 "RV") of THE TREES ("All" ‘"revised" bibles since 1852 - "full" of "men’s traditions" - Luke 16:15!): every tree therefore which bringeth NOT forth "GOOD FRUIT" is "HEWN DOWN", and "CAST INTO THE FIRE". 1Samuel 17:20-54 declares: 20) And DAVID ROSE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to fight, and shouted for the battle. 21) For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army. 22) AND DAVID left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and RAN INTO THE ARMY, AND CAME AND SALUTED HIS BRETHREN. 23) AND AS HE "TALKED WITH THEM" BEHOLD, THERE "CAME UP" the champion, THE PHILISTINE (meaning "rolled in dust-wallowing") of GATH (meaning "winepress"), GOLIATH (meaning "soothsayer, the Exile, taken captive and stripped as a captive") by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: AND DAVID HEARD THEM. 24) And ALL THE MEN OF ISRAEL , WHEN THEY SAW THE MAN, "FLED FROM HIM" , and WERE" SORE AFRAID". 25) And THE MEN OF ISRAEL SAID, "HAVE YE SEEN THIS MAN THAT IS COME UP"? SURELY TO DEFY (meaning "to dare, challenge and defame or speak evil of") ISRAEL (and the Israel of God also) IS HE COME UP: "AND IT SHALL BE", THAT "THE MAN" "WHO KILLETH HIM", "THE KING WILL" ENRICH HIM WITH GREAT RICHES, "AND WILL" GIVE HIM HIS DAUGHTER, AND MAKE HIS FATHER’S HOUSE FREE IN ISRAEL". 26) And DAVID SPAKE TO THE MEN that stood by him, SAYING, WHAT SHALL BE DONE TO THE MAN THAT KILLETH "THIS PHILISTINE" ("Goliath today" is the "traditional teaching and it’s fruit", that "the antichrist" is the "he" in Daniel 9:27 "rooted" in the "RV"!), AND TAKETH AWAY THE REPROACH FROM "ISRAEL" (and the Israel of God as well)? For who is THIS UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE, THAT "he" (the "RV"antichrist in Dan. 9:27) SHOULD DEFY THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD? 27) And the people answered him after this manner, SAYING, SO SHALL IT BE DONE TO THE MAN THAT KILLETH HIM. 28) And ELIAB (meaning: "My God is Father") his ELDEST BROTHER HEARD WHEN HE SPAKE UNTO THE MEN; and "ELIAB’S ANGER WAS KINDLED AGAINST DAVID", AND HE SAID WHY CAMEST THOU DOWN HITHER? AND WITH WHOM HAST THOU LEFT THOSE FEW SHEEP IN THE WILDERNESS? "I KNOW THY PRIDE", AND THE NAUGHTINESS OF THINE HEART; "FOR THOU ART COME DOWN THAT THOU MIGHTEST SEE THE BATTLE. 29) And David said, "WHAT HAVE I "NOW" DONE? IS THERE NOT A CAUSE? 30) And he turned from him toward another, and SPAKE AFTER THE SAME MANNER: and the people answered him again after the former manner. 31) And when the words were heard which DAVID SPAKE, THEY REHEARSED THEM BEFORE SAUL: AND HE SENT FOR HIM. 32) And DAVID SAID TO SAUL, "LET NO MAN’S HEART FAIL BECAUSE OF HIM"; THY SERVANT WILL GO AND FIGHT WITH THIS PHILISTINE. 33) And Saul said unto David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 34) AND DAVID SAID UNTO SAUL, "THY SERVANT KEPT HIS FATHER’S SHEEP, AND THERE CAME A LION, AND A BEAR, AND TOOK A LAMB OUT OF THE FLOCK: 35) "AND I WENT OUT AFTER HIM, AND SMOTE HIM, AND DELIVERED IT OUT OF HIS MOUTH: AND WHEN HE AROSE AGAINST ME, I CAUGHT HIM BY THE BEARD, AND SMOTE HIM, AND SLEW HIM". 36) THY SERVANT SLEW BOTH "THE LION" AND "THE BEAR": AND THIS UNCIRCUMCIDED PHILISTINE SHALL BE AS ONE OF THEM, SEEING HE HATH DEFIED THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD. 37) DAVID SAID "MOREOVER", "THE LORD THAT DELIVERED ME OUT OF THE PAW OF THE LION, AND OUT OF THE PAW OF THE BEAR, "HE WILL DELIVER ME OUT OF THE HAND THIS PHILISTINE", And Saul said unto David, "GO", AND THE LORD BE WITH THEE. 38) And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 39) And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; FOR HE HAD NOT PROVED IT. And DAVID SAID unto Saul, "I CANNOT GO WITH THESE; FOR I HAVE NOT PROVED THEM. And David put them off him. 40) And he took his staff in his hand, and "CHOSE HIM FIVE SMOOTH STONES" (#5 means DEATH, as well as grace!) OUT OF "THE BROOK" (like choosing "5 verses" out of "the water of the WORD" Eph. 5:26), AND PUT THEM IN A SHEPHERD’S BAG WHICH HE HAD, EVEN IN A SCRIPT (meaning: "a traveling pouch", sometimes used to carry "food" like maby the "bread" of life": the Scriptures-John 6:35); AND HIS SLING WAS IN HIS HAND: AND HE DREW NEAR TO THE PHILISTINE. 41) And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 42) And when the philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 43) And the Philistine said unto David, AM I A DOG, THAT THOU COMEST TO ME WITH STAVES? And the Philistine cursed David by his "gods" (like ALL "revised versions" of the Bible today). 44) And the Philistine said to David"COME TO ME, AND I WILL GIVE THY FLESH UNTO THE FOWLS OF THE AIR, AND TO THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD. 45) Then said David to the Philistine, "THOU COMEST TO TO ME WITH A SWORD, AND WITH A SPEAR, AND WITH A SHIELD; BUT I COME TO THEE IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL (and the Israel of God" as well!) WHOM THOU HAST DEFILED (with the RV). 46) "THIS DAY WILL THE LORD DELIVER THEE INTO MINE HAND; AND "I WILL SMITE THEE", AND "I WILL GIVE THE CARCASES OF THE HOST OF THE PHILISTINES THIS DAY UNTO THE FOWLS OF THE AIR, AND TO THE WILD BEASTS OF THE EARTH"; THAT ALL THE EARTH MAY KNOW THAT THERE IS A GOD IN ISRAEL (and in " Israel of God" also!). 47) AND ALL THIS ASSEMBLY SHALL KNOW THAT THE LORD SAVETH NOT WITH SWORD AND SPEAR: "FOR THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S", AND "HE WILL GIVE YOU INTO OUR HANDS". 48) And "IT CAME TO PASS", when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that "DAVID HASTED, AND RAN TOWARD THE ARMY TO MEET THE PHILISTINE. 49) AND DAVID PUT HIS HAND IN HIS BAG ("script" in vs. 40 or THE SCRIPTURE: 31,175 verses or "stones" in the KJV), AND ‘TOOK THENCE "A" STONE’ ("a"scripture=verse=WORD=Jesus=stone=rock=KJV) AND "SLUNG IT", AND "SMOTE THE PHILISTINE IN HIS FORHEAD", THAT "THE STONE SUNK INTO HIS FORHEAD", AND HE FELL UPON HIS FACE TO THE EARTH. 50) "SO DAVID PREVAILED OVER THE PHILISTINE" WITH A "SLING" (the"tongue" of the sling, that held "the stone", was like "David’s tongue" that held the Word of God! – James 3:3-5: setteth on fire the course of nature, Proverbs 18:21:"DEATH" is in "THE POWER" OF THE TONGUE, which set the course of that stone!) AND WITH "A" STONE ("stone" is JESUS: THE WORD OF GOD, as in Daniel 2:35), AND "SMOTE THE PHILISTINE", AND "SLEW HIM"; but there was no sword in the hand of David (but there was "a sword": the Word of God, in David’s mouth and "tongue"!). 51) Therefore "DAVID RAN", AND "STOOD UPON THE PHILISTINE", AND TOOK "HIS SWORD", AND DREW IT OUT OF THE SHEATH THEREOF, "AND CUT OFF HIS HEAD" THEREWITH. AND WHEN THE PHILISTINES SAW THEIR CHAMPION "WAS DEAD", THEY FLED. 52) And the men of Israel and of Judah AROSE, and SHOUTED, and PURSUED THE PHILISTINES, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron (meaning "extermination"). AND "THE WOUNDED OF THE PHILISTINES" FELL DOWN BY "THE WAY" to Shaaraim (meaning "two" gates), EVEN TO GATH (meaning "winepress"), and unto Ekron (meaning "extermination"). 53) And the children of Israel returned from CHASING AFTER THE PHILISTINES, AND "THEY SPOILED THEIR TENTS". 54) " AND DAVID TOOK THE HEAD OF THE PHILISTINE, AND BROUGHT IT TO JERUSALEM; BUT HE PUT HIS ARMOUR IN HIS TENT. Then "David defeated" Goliath, and "seven years" later, 2Samuel 2:4 declares…AND THE MEN OF JUDAH CAME, AND THERE THEY ANOINTED DAVID "KING"… !!!
John 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, "AND NOW IS", when "the true worshipers" shall worship the Father in spirit and in TRUTH: for the Father "seeketh such" to worship. 24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth (the Word). Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Heb. 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, CONSIDER THE APOSTLE (meaning "one sent") AND HIGH PRIEST (Heb. 4:14-16) OF "OUR PRPFESSION" (Heb. 4:14, 10:23, 1Tim. 6:12-13), "CHRIST JESUS"; Exodus 19:8…and MOSES (a type of Christ) RETURNED THE WORDS OF THE PEOPLE UNTO THE LORD (Jehovah the Father). AMEN AND AMEN!
Because it is sometimes so unbelievable, THE TRUTH
Escapes becoming
