The above graphic is a symbol I've used on various occasions since my high school years. The symbol consists of a circle for the everlasting God, Who was, and is, and is to be. The star of David represents the fact that the Messiah, the Savior of the world was descended from the tribe of Judah and a descendant of David. The cross represents the price Jesus paid at Calvary for the sins of the world and the flame represents the Holy Spirit, our "foretaste" of heaven and Who lives in all of those who are believers. I also used the symbol as a logo for Maranatha Computer Services which was for many years my part time home business. Maranatha comes from two Greek words {μαραν αθα} {from I Cor. 16:22} which mean "Come, Lord!" or "our Lord has come" and is a reference to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God's Holy Days -- A Study of The Revelation An Introduction

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. (2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3)

(1) Do not let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in Me. (2) In My Father's house are many roomsa: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ({43} John 14:1-3)

It took Jesus six days to create the heavens and the earth and everything and every living creature in them; but since that night nearly 2000 years ago when Jesus spoke the words recorded in John's gospel He has been preparing a place for us in heaven!

In I Thes. 4:14-18, we are commanded to comfort one another with words of our Lord's return. Repeatedly, God's word tells us not to be ignorant concerning things to come which our Lord has made known to us in scripture. The study of the Revelation and future prophecy is one of the most exciting studies in all of scripture. The Revelation itself gives a promised blessing on all who read it {Rev. 1:3}.

My first year of teaching school (1977) I was in the teachers' lounge during my conference period reading and taking some notes on the Revelation. A teacher asked me what I was doing. When I told her, she said to me: "Doesn't that book scare the day lights out of you?" I told her, "No, because I've read the last chapter and I know how it ends." We are on the winning side! Jesus IS KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. If this were not so, we'd have no desire to study His Word. The more we study His Word, the more like Him we become, and the more eagerly we await His return.

Many are scared off from studying the Revelation because so much if it is written with symbolism, however, that symbolism is often explained within the same chapter, or is taken directly from the Old Testament. At times it is necessary to go back to the Old Testament to see the original meaning of symbols. Therefore understanding the Revelation requires a knowledge of the Old Testament. For these reasons we will be covering many topics in this study. However, head knowledge is not enough. The devil knows everything presented in these notes, but that will not save him on the day of judgment. Knowledge of the future is not a comfort to those who have never accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. The purpose of this study is four-fold: first, to help each of us draw closer in love to our heavenly Father and His only Son; second, to give us confidence in our salvation through Jesus Christ; third, faith and trust that our Lord is in complete control; and fourth, that every single letter and word of scripture is important and all will be fulfilled.

The pages contained in this book are far from complete. Much of the research described here {the Jewish holy days, the numbers of Daniel on the Old, New, and Prophetic Jewish calendars, etc.} raises excitement and awe at the meticulous detail worked out by our Lord long before the first human was ever created. At the same time it reminds us that there is still much to learn and much that will not be known until our Lord chooses to reveal it.

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(1) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, (2) Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. (Lev. 23:1-2)


Note: These are not the Jews' holy days {although even today, I sometimes catch myself as referring to them as Jewish holy days}, but God's holy days! In this study, we will note the fulfillment of the first of God's holy days: Passover, First Fruits Offering, and Pentecost and the future fulfillment of the rest of God's holy days: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, the Seventh year, and the Year of Jubilee. We will also examine the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and others as they relate directly to our study.

HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN

All the knowledge in the world is unimportant unless you know where you are going to spend eternity. The question is never whether the Lord is on your side; the question is -- are YOU on the Lord's side? If you don't know that you are on the Lord's side, that issue needs to be settled once and for all.The Lord our God and our Creator has given us commandments to follow. Disobedience to these commandments is sin. According to scripture, even thoughts that are contrary to the Lord's commandments are sin. Also, according to scripture no one has kept every commandment except Jesus Christ God's only Son. God the Father sent His only Son Jesus {God-in-the-flesh} to pay the price for the sins of the world. The promise has been given that anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will be saved. To be "saved" means that our sins are forgiven and we have the right as "adopted" children of God to enter the kingdom of heaven when we die, or when Jesus comes to take us home at the rapture of the church. It also means we have a special relationship with our heavenly Father now because once we've accepted His Son, His Holy Spirit lives in us to teach us, convict us when we sin, and to give us a glimpse of "heaven on earth."

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

(6) Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man can come to the Father, except by Me.({43} John 14:6 )

To those who are lost, this seems very narrow minded, but consider this: Suppose someone owed you a lot of money and had no hope of ever having the ability to repay you. Suppose you told that person, "If you will just love and respect my only son, I will cancel all of your debt." Then suppose that person told you, "I will never love or respect your son. I despise Him and all He represents." How would you feel. This is a very good example of how God the Father views those who reject His Son.

The Roman Road to salvation: {From the book of Romans} A. All have sinned -- We must all acknowledge that we are sinners and have not lived in accordance with the Lord's commands.

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. (12) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Rom. 3:10-12)

(10) As it is written, “There is no one who is righteous, no, not one:(11) There is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks after God. (12) They have all gone out of the way, they have all together become unprofitable; there is no one who does good, no, not one.”b ({45} Rom. 3:10-12)

{Righteous -- means to be right with God and to keep ALL of His commandments -- Jesus said if you have thought a wrong thought you have broken all of the commandments.} [Mat 5:8]

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(20) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (21) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; (22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: (23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom. 3:20-23 )

(20) Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight: because by the law comes the knowledge of sin. (21) But now the righteousness of God without the law is revealed, being witnessed to by the law and the prophets; (22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all those who believe: because there is no difference: (23) Because all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ({45} Rom. 3:20-23)

B. All deserve to die -- None of us deserves to live or to have eternal life.

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom. 3:23)

(23) Because all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;({45} Rom. 3:23 )

-4-C. The price of sin was paid for, for all who believe -- Believe that if you accept God's only Son, Jesus, as your personal Lord and Savior, He has paid the price for your salvation. {To accept Jesus as your personal Lord means that you are sincere in your desire to live in accordance with His commands; to allow Him to be Lord of your life; but also knowing that you can never repay Jesus for the love and mercy He has shone towards you. -- Jesus said,

King James Version King James Paraphrase(15) If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15)

(15) If you love Me, keep My commandments. ({43} John 14:15)

Salvation means to not have your sins counted against you and the right to spend eternity in heaven -- not because of what you've done, but because of what Jesus has done for you. It is a free gift, totally undeserved, given to everyone who accepts God's Son Jesus as his/her Lord and Savior.

King James Version King James Paraphrase(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Rom. 10:9)

(9) That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ({45} Rom. 10:9 )

{Believing also means that you believe that Jesus was truly born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of the world, arose from the dead, and will soon return to take us to be home with Him. If any of these things were not true, then He could not be our savior.}

King James Version King James Paraphrase(21) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being

(21) But now the righteousness of God without the law is revealed,

witnessed by the law and the prophets; (22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: (23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom. 3:21-23)

being witnessed to by the law and the prophets; (22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all those who believe: because there is no difference: (23) Because all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ({45} Rom. 3:21-23)

-5-

King James Version King James Paraphrase(6) Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, (7) Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (8) Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (Rom. 4:6-8)

(6) Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God credits righteousness without works, (7) Saying, “Blessed are those whose sins are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.”b (8) “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not count sin.”c

({45} Rom. 4:6-8)

[cf. Ps. 32:1-2]

King James Version King James Paraphrase(13) And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. (14) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: (15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (17) For God sent not his Son into the

(13) And no man has ascended up to heaven, but He Who came down from heaven, even the Son of Man Who is in heaven. (14) And as Moses lifted up the snake in the wildernessc, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: (15) That whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (16) Because God loved the world so much, that He gave the only Son He has ever fathered, that whoever believes in Him should not perish,

world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

but have everlasting life. (17) Because God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. (18) He who believes on Him is not condemned: but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only fathered Son of God.

King James Version King James Paraphrase(19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (20) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:13-21)

(19) And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (20) Because everyone who does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (21) But he who does what’s right comes to the light, that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God. ({43} John 3:13-21 )

Do not think to yourself that when you "get your act together" you'll ask the Lord into your life. You can't live a life that is pleasing to Him without His help. Ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your life. If there is anything in your life that shouldn't be there, He'll take care of it AFTER you've made a commitment to Him.None of us knows when our life will end and we will stand in the presence of the Lord. It may be years from now; it may be 5 minutes from now. This life is only a testing grounds. It is here your life must count for the Lord. The scriptures state: "Now is the time for decision." [II Cor. 6:2] When this life ends, there will not be another chance!

King James Version King James Paraphrase(38) Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (Mark 8:38)

(38) Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.({41} Mark 8:38)

Suggested prayer:Father, I know that I have sinned against You and I have not lived the kind of life I know You want me to live. Please, forgive me for the ways I have failed You. I know that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to pay the price for my salvation and I believe You raised Him from the dead to become King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I believe that one day soon He is coming back again to reign forever and ever. I accept Your Son, Jesus, as my personal Lord and Savior. With Your help, I will strive to live for You and to be the person You want me to be. Father, let Your Holy Spirit come into my heart and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I know I do not deserve what Jesus has done for me, but forgive me and help me to live for You every moment of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.If you are sincere and believe the things in this prayer you have the promise of God that your salvation is assured. Your salvation is based on His faithfulness, and He is always faithful.

King James Version King James Paraphrase(15) If ye love me, keep my commandments. (16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;(17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

(5) Let your conversation be without covetousness {greed}; and be content with such things as you have: because He has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.a ({58} Heb. 13:5)

King James Version King James Paraphrase(11) And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (12) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (13) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (I John 5:11-13 )

(11) And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.(12) He who has the Son has life; and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.(13) These things have I written to you who believe on the Name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the Name of the Son of God. ({62} I John 5:11-13)

King James Version King James Paraphrase(40) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:40)

King James Version King James Paraphrase(18) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

(18) Because Christ also has once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit:

(I Peter 3:18) ({60} I Peter 3:18)

King James Version King James Paraphrase(5) And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: (6) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (7) If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? (8) But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (9) Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?(10) For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. (Heb. 12: 5-10)

(5) And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to children, My son, do not despise the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him: (6) Because those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and disciplines every son whom He receives. (7) If you endure discipline, God deals with you as with sons; because what son is he whom the father does not discipline? (8) But if you are without discipline, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards {illegitimate children}, and not sons. (9) Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? (10) Because they truly for a few days disciplined us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness. ({58} Heb. 12: 5-10)

Our salvation is not based on our faithfulness; if it were we would all lose our salvation. Our salvation is based on the promise of God. He is always faithful even when we are unfaithful to Him. As long as we are in these mortal bodies we will continue to make mistakes, and even at times rebel against God. If we have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, He has promised to discipline us to whatever extent is necessary to bring us back into His will. I John 1:8-9 {quoted above} was written to Christians, not unbelievers.

Holiness of Living {Evidences of Salvation}

I, myself, am acutely aware of how far below God's standard of holiness that I am, that I would never consider passing judgment on someone else -- so anything that you may read here and interpret as judgmental on my part, I apologize for at the very beginning and assure you that is not the case at all. Only by God's grace is there hope for any of us.

King James Version King James Paraphrase(14) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: (15) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; (Heb. 12:14-15)

(14) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: (15) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up troubles you, and thereby many are defiled; ({58} Heb. 12:14-15)

Christianity is the only religion which states that God so loved the world that He came to earth in human form to teach us how He wants us to live, paid the price for our salvation, and rose from the dead as proof of His power over sin and death. The leaders of all other religions, are in their tombs, but the tomb of Jesus is empty! It has been said that Christianity is not a religion, but a way of life.King James Version King James Paraphrase(35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (John 13:35)

(35) By this all men shall know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. ({43} John 13:35)

King James Version King James Paraphrase(37) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (38) This is the first and great commandment. (39) And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (40) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Mat. 22:37-40)

(37) Jesus said to him, You shall love the LORD {Jehovah}your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mindd.(38) This is the first and greatest commandment. (39) And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.e

(40) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

({40} Mat. 22:37-40)

Jesus said,"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." And "a tree is known by the fruits it bears. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" {Matthew chapters 5 and 6} teaches us the attitudes that we must show towards our heavenly Father and those around us.

After accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior He has given the commandment that we make a public profession of faith in Him by submitting to baptism and by attending Christian services where we can learn how He wants us to live.

King James Version King James Paraphrase(38) Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.(Mark 8:38)

(38) Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. ({41} Mark 8:38)

King James Version King James Paraphrase(24) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: (25) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Heb. 10:24-25 )

(24) And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and to do good works:(25) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the habit of some; but exhorting {encouraging} one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching. ({58} Heb. 10:24-25)

It is by worshiping and studying God's word together with other Christians that we are strengthened,receive the proper nourishment, and are encouraged in living the life He has called us to. Christianity is personal, but it is not private. Love and joy in the Lord that are not shared with others, do not exist! There is no such thing as having love and not sharing it. How much we show our love towards other children of God, and towards unbelievers, is a good indication of just how much we really love Him. I John 4:20 says,

King James Version King James Paraphrase(20) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?(21) And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. (I John 4:20-21)

(20) If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: because he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God Whom he has not seen?(21) And this commandment we have from Him, That he who loves God love his brother also. ({62} I John 4:20-21)

-- A single coal of fire left to itself will soon die out, but coals put together become a blaze of fire. Does this mean that a person who does not regularly attend church is not a Christian? No, but it does mean that if he/she is able and has opportunity to attend church and doesn't, he/she is in rebellion against the Lord as Hebrew 10:25 indicates and is in need of repentance. Those outside the church often point at the church and say,"That church is full of hypocrites." And in one sense they are right -- none of us fully live up the the life we profess. In fact I John 1:8-9 says:

King James Version King James Paraphrase(8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.(9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.(I John 1:8-10)

(8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.(9) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us. ({62} I John 1:8-10)

In the Biblical sense, however, a hypocrite is not one who fails to live up to the commands of the Lord. The Biblical definition of a hypocrite is a person who claims to believe in God, but refuses to make any attempt to live the life He has called us to.As someone once said: "I'd rather go to church with hypocrites bound for heaven than to not go to church and to be with the other hypocrites bound for hell."The following are evidences given in the Bible which are "fruits" or indicators of our relationship with the Lord. The evidences of being saved are the goals we as Christians strive for. The evidences of not being saved are hindrances we strive to permanently remove from our lives.

If we are missing some of the evidences of being saved, we should pray that the Lord will help us obtain them. If we have some of the evidences of not being saved, we should admit to the Lord that we have sinned against Him and pray for forgiveness. Having evidences of not being saved does not necessarily mean we aren't saved any more than having some of the evidences of being saved means that we are saved. If we truly have accepted Jesus as our Lord and savior, we have His promise that He will discipline us to whatever extent it is necessary to bring us back into His will. "Those whom the Lord loves, He reproves and disciplines." According to I John it is possible for a child of God to get so far out of the Father's will that He must call that child home to be with Him before he/she does too much damage to His kingdom down here.

-13-

We must also be on guard that we do not pass judgment on a fellow believer's salvation. We are commanded to not judge lest we be judged. We are not called to be judges, but we are called to be "fruit inspectors." "We are to hate sin, but love the sinner." For the unbeliever, this is not possible, because he has no understanding of what true love is all about. {This is one reason why the Lord has specifically forbidden believers to intermarry withunbelievers.} [I Cor. 7:39; II Cor. 6:14-15] For the believer, it is sometimes difficult, but we are reminded that the Lord loved us even when we had no love for Him. Bad things do happen to good people. And often bad people are not punished in this lifetime. But ultimately as Jesus said, we will reap what we sow. We may not understand many things that happen down here in this lifetime. And many things we will not understand until we stand in His presence. Never be ashamed to admit that you don't know the answers to something. There is only One Who knows the answers to everything. Beware of anyone who claims to have all the answers.

Evidences of Being Saved:King James Version King James Paraphrase(12) Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

(15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (16) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (17) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. (18) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

King James Version King James Paraphrase(8) Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. (9) Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. (10) Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.(Mal. 3:8-10)

Note: A tree cannot decide what kind of fruit it will bear. But, the abundance and quality of its fruit is determined to a large extent by whether it receives the proper nourishment. If a person is a Christian, the above fruits will be evidenced. How much they are evidenced is determined both by the individual's willingness to be submissive to the will of the Lord and how much of the proper nourishment he receives. Unlike the tree, a Christian can determine whether he/she will receive

the proper nourishment. That nourishment comes through Bible study and fellowship with other believers.

-18-All of God's Promises Aren't For Everyone

There are basically three groups of promises in the Bible: For the unbeliever, there is only one promise in the entire Bible that he can claim: "Anyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Rom. 10:13

Once a person has made a sincere commitment to the Lord, there are two more promises he can claim: "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Heb. 13:5 "Those whom the Lord loves, He reproves and disciplines." Heb. 12:6 These two promises go together. If a believer does not follow the Lord's will, he has God's promise that he will be disciplined. He will continue to be disciplined to whatever extent is necessary to bring him back into the Lord's will. According to I John, a believer can get so far out of the Lord's will that the Lord will call him home. This does not mean he will lose his salvation. Our discipline as believers is all "down here". When this life is over, our God will "wipe away all our tears." The rest of the promises in the Bible are for those who have made a sincere commitment to the Lord and are trying every day to live for the Lord according to His Spirit.

for documentation.} 6. The Apostate Church will be guilty of all kinds of immorality VI. John sees seven churches A. Actual churches B. Representative of churches throughout all ages C. Representative of general time periods in the history of the church VII. John is called up to heaven to see what will take place on the earth in the last days (REV. 4:1) A. Ruler begins to conquer (REV. 6:2) B. World war (REV. 6:4) C. Economic chaos (REV. 6:5-6) D. Famine and death (REV. 6:7-8)VIII. The Anti-Christ A. Known facts 1. He will gain control of many by flattery-- The ones he will control are those who have forsaken God's covenant (DAN. 11:21,32 DAN. 8:23) 2. He will make a covenant with Israel for 2300 days (DAN. 9:27) 3. He will break the covenant in the middle of the last seven years (DAN. 9:27) [1260 days prior to Armageddon] 4. He will abolish sacrifices offered in the temple to the Lord (DAN. 9:27, 11:31) a. Therefore the temple must exist b. Animal sacrifices must be re-instituted 5. Those who know the Lord will resist him (DAN. 11:32) 6. Some of God's people will be martyred (DAN. 11:33 DAN. 8:24) 7. Some of God's people will stumble so they may be refined (DAN. 11:35) 8. The Anti-Christ will exalt himself above God (DAN. 11:36) 9. He will worship the god of fortresses (Satan) (DAN. 11:38) 10. He will conquer Egypt, Libya, And Ethiopia (DAN. 11:43) 11. He will stand in the Holy Place [The inner temple] (MAT. 24:15) 12. He will take his seat in the temple claiming to be God (II THES. 2:4) 13. He will be a man of lawlessness (II THES. 2:8) 14. He will try to change time [Change the calendar?] (DAN. 7:25) 15. He will perform counterfeit miracles that would even deceive God's people if it were possible (II THES. 2:9) (MAT. 24:24) 16. A false prophet will set up an image of the Anti-Christ in the temple and force people to worship it. (REV. 13:11-17) This image will be able to speak (REV. 13:15)

-24- 17. The Anti-Christ will speak against God, slander His name (Jesus), speak against heaven and against those living there {Including Christians} (REV. 13:6) (DAN. 11:36)

18. He will be killed by a head wound (REV. 13:3) 19. He will come back to life by the in-dwelling of Satan (REV. 13:3-8) 20. He will deceive the world with a great lie {invasion by aliens from outerspace?} to gather armies to battle against Jesus when He returns at Armageddon (REV. 16:13-16; REV. 19:19-21) 21. He will be destroyed by Jesus Himself (REV. 19:19-21) B. The mark of the beast 1. The false prophet will require everyone to worship the image of the Anti-Christ and to receive the mark or be killed (REV. 13:15-18) 2. The mark will only be accepted by those who have rejected God (REV. 20:4) 3. The mark will only be accepted by those who are willing to worship the image of the Anti-Christ (REV. 19:20) 4. The mark has a computed value of six hundred sixty six. (REV. 13:18) a. The number 666 occurs only four times in the scripture, three in the Old Testament -- I Ki. 10:14, II CHR. 9:13, EZRA 2:13, and once in the New Testament -- REV. 13:18 b. In I Kings and II Chr. the number 666 is the number of talents of gold that King Solomon received each year. c. In Ezra the number is the number of descendants of Adonikam returning from Babylon to Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity. The name -- Adonikam is a Hebrew name which means -- My Lord is Coming -- The equivalent of the Greek word Maranatha (I COR. 16:22) d. Three descendants of Adonikam are named in EZRA 8:13 -- Eliphelet [My God Delivers], Jeuel [God Carries Away], and Shemaiah [She {Israel?} listens] e. In Ezra the families are returning from exile -- in the Revelation the number concerns a man who will cause Israel to go into exile f. The name -- Nero Caesar in Latin and in Hebrew adds up to the number 666. [In Latin, Hebrew, and Greek the letters also have numeric values]

g. John is told that the beast [the Anti-Christ] "was and is not and yet will be." REV. 17:8 -- In other words -- he is a ruler who once lived, he is dead at the time of John's writing, and he will come back from Hades. Only Nero fits

the description given. It is believed that Nero was demon possessed and the same demon will live in the Anti-Christ giving him a knowledge of the Roman Age that only someone who lived there could know.

-25-

h. Nero had both Peter and Paul executed. The "Peace Symbol" which re-appeared in the 1960's was an early Christian symbol for the Anti-Christ which originated with Nero crucifying Peter upside down on a cross with broken arms. i. Six is the number for man in the Bible The number 666 represents man in his highest level without God. IX. Last Things A. The Battle Of Armageddon 1. Euphrates River is dried up (REV. 9:14, 16:12) 2. Armies from the East will come with two million soldiers [Their colors will be Red, Blue, and Yellow!] (REV. 9:16-17) 3. Armies from all over the world will gather as a result of the great lie {Possibly that the planet earth is being invaded from outer space!} (REV. 16:14) 4. No battle is actually fought! a. On the cross Jesus said,"It is finished." (JOHN 19:30) b. At Armageddon Jesus repeats, "It is finished." (REV. 16:17) c. At Jesus words the battle is over B. Jesus reigns on earth 1. Anti-Christ and false prophet sent to Hell (REV. 19:20) 2. Satan is bound for 1000 years (REV. 20:2-3) 3. Jesus Himself will teach us 4. There will still be death! 5. There will still be those who will not accept Jesus' Lordship C. Satan is released at the end of 1000 years (REV. 20) 1. Satan gathers those who have not accepted Jesus for one last battle (REV. 20:7-9) 2. Satan is cast into Hell (REV. 20:10) D. The Great Judgment 1. All will be judged (REV. 20:11-15) 2. Christians will be rewarded for good deeds (All their sins will be forgiven and forgotten) 3. The ungodly will be punished according to their sins (All go into hell) (REV. 20:15) [No one who rejects God's only Son is capable of righteousness.] E. All things new (REV. 21) 1. New heavens (REV. 21:1) 2. New earth (REV. 21:1) 3. New Jerusalem (REV. 21:2) 4. No more death, no more pain (REV. 21:4) 5. No sun; no temple -- Jesus is the Light and the Temple (REV. 21:21-27)

CAN CHRISTIANS KNOW WHEN THE LORD WILL RETURN?

A. Facts from the Old Testament. 1. Noah knew the exact day that the floods would come. (Gen. 7:1-4) 2. Abraham knew his descendants would go into captivity and exactly how long it would be before the land of Canaan would be theirs. (Gen. 15:13) 3. Abraham and Lot knew that Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed. (Gen. 18:20 - 19:29) 4. Joseph knew how many years Egypt would have good crops, when the famine would come, and exactly how long it would last. (Gen. 41:29-30) 5. Isaiah told Hezekiah exactly how many more years he'd live. (Is. 38:5-8) 6. Jeremiah knew exactly how many years Israel would be in exile in Babylon. (Jer. 25:11; 29:10) 7. Jeremiah knew exactly when Babylon would fall. (Jer. 25:12) 8. Daniel knew the exact year the messiah would be put to death. (Dan. 9:24-27)B. Other references from the Old Testament:

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(7) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)

(7) Surely the Lord GOD {Jehovah} will

do nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. ({30} Amos 3:7)

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(16)

Come ye near unto me, hear ye this;

I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.(Is. 48:16)

(16) Come near to Me, hear this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD {Jehovah}, and His Spirit, has sent me. ({23} Is. 48:16)


I have declared the former things

from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.(Is. 48:3)

(3) I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of My mouth, and I revealed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. ({23} Is. 48:3)

-27-


The anger of the LORD shall not

return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.(Jer. 23:20)

(20) The anger of the LORD {Jehovah}

will not return, until He has acted, and until He has performed the thoughts of His heart: in the latter days you will consider it perfectly.({24} Jer. 23:20)


Call unto me, and I will answer thee,

and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (Jer. 33:3)

(3) Call to Me, and I will answer you,

and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. ({24} Jer. 33:3)

C. Conclusion from the Old Testament: God's children always knew when the Lord was about to act, what He was going to do, and how long certain events would take place. The ungodly were also warned but they refused to believe.D. References from the New Testament:


But of that day and hour knoweth

no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.(37)

But as the days of Noe were, so

shall also the coming of the Son of man be.(Mat. 24:36-37)

(36) But of that day and hour no one knows no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father onlyg. (37) But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man beh. ({40} Mat. 24:36-37)

-- See note A-1 above on what Noah knew. The phrase 'day and hour' has specific meaning with regard to the Jewish calendar which is based upon the New Moon.

Note the present tense verb "knows" -- to translate as "will know" is a mistranslation of God's word!! The verb "knows" literally means to "reckon" or to "calculate" or more literally “has seen”. A correct translation would be: " But of that day and hour no one has presently calculated." -- Even if the verse is willfully mistranslated: "But of that DAY and HOUR no one WILL know." The limitation is to DAY and HOUR. On the earth at any given time there are two days present!!! Those who have travelled across the International Date Line understand.

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(1) But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.(2) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.(3) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.(4) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.(5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (I Thes. 5:1-5 KJV)

(1) But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you. (2) Because you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lorda so comes as a thief in the night. (3) Because when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction will come upon them, as birth pains upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (4) But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (5) You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. ({52} I Thes. 5:1-5 KJP)

"Now as to the times and seasons brethren you have no need for anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, 'Peace and safety!' then destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. But you brethren, are not in the darkness that the day should overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness." (I Thes. 5:1-5) Note the emphasis upon pronouns! Most of the time these verses are quoted, the phrase following the word "But" are intentionally or unintentionally left out!!!

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.(21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.(II Pet. 1:20-21)

(20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.(21) Because the prophecy did not come in old times by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. ({61} II Pet. 1:20-21)

Note on the New Testament: Those who are faithful are told to watch for certain signs. (Mat. 24) The Revelation was given for the stated purpose of revealing the last things. (Rev. 1:1-3) John was forbidden to seal up the knowledge he was given (Rev. 22:10) except for one exception (Rev. 10:4).

-29-

Conclusion by this writer: The Lord has always made known what was going to happen, His faithful followers always knew and were prepared, and the ungodly were warned but their unbelief led to their destruction. It is my conviction that the Lord has given us detailed information about the last days for our comfort and He is ready to give understanding to any who are willing to seek that understanding from Him. The Lord does not want His children to be ignorant of the things that are coming; He gave us many prophecies for our instruction and we are foolish if we do not heed His instruction. Not one verse of Scripture supports the belief that faithful Christians will be caught by surprise by our Lord's return. Note: Christians are never promised that we will not suffer tribulations nor even the Great Tribulation, but we are promised that we will never suffer the Wrath of God. (I Thes. 5:9) The II Thes. 2 and the Revelation imply that those who are faithful before the Rapture occurs will be Raptured soon after the Anti-Christ is revealed {{***This could occur at any moment!!!}} and that those who are converted as a result of the Rapture and succeeding events will suffer martyrdom. (But note that these Christians have never suffered for Jesus' name and the martyrdom may be primarily for their own benefit.) The Anti-Christ will only be revealed to those who know what God's word teaches about him and believe God's word. {It is also possible that God will only reveal the Anti-Christ to those living in the middle east or those to whom He has a specific reason to reveal him.} I do not agree with those who teach that Christians will not have to suffer. Indeed, II Tim. 3:12 implies that if we are not persecuted then we are not being faithful to God's Word! This also is in keeping with Jesus' statement that His

followers would be hated by all nations because of His Name's sake. (Mat. 24:9) I believe that great persecution will arise following the Russian invasion if not sooner. This persecution will be primarily created by the apostasy of the "liberal" church and its denial of the genuine faith of true believers. There is One True Church and it exists in the hearts and lives of those who are truly faithful to God's Word. There is a false church, but it is not as some suppose the Catholic Church, the World Council of Churches, or any other organization. The false church consists of those of all denominations who claim to follow Jesus but who have not genuinely committed their lives to live for Him. The true Church is not any one particular denomination as others suppose, but consists of the faithful of all denominations. I know of no Scripture which indicates anything otherwise, though I do believe that ultimately the apostate church will form one major ecumenical church which will ban all others after the Rapture has occurred. The point of these last notes is to point out a major concern I have. That concern is that too many weak Christians and new Christians are being taught that they will not have to suffer, and I fear that such teaching which it totally unscriptural will greatly contribute to the apostasy that will soon come full force into the churches. Many are not prepared to suffer for Christ and do not understand the great privilege we have to suffer for Christ's sake. Nor do they understand the temporal nature of these fleshly bodies and that death is not to be feared by God's children. Faithful children of God, please consider the possibility that you may suffer for your faith. One other note: I have done a tremendous amount of research into the Gregorian calendar, the Prophetic calendar, the modern Jewish calendar, the Holy Days, and the numbers of Daniel. Some may suspect that I believe that at some point I may be able to predict when our Lord will come for the Rapture of the church. I want to point out here as well as in the notes

-30-referencing each of those subjects that I personally do not believe that I or anyone else will be able to predict the "Day or hour" of our Lord's appearing for the Rapture but I do not rule that out 100%. I do believe the dates of Daniel and the Revelation are for the benefit of the Jews after the Christians have been raptured. The fact that so much information is now being made known by our Lord concerning His word, His holy days, and the dates of Daniel is one more piece of evidence that we are living in the last generation.

The Holy Days{According to Leviticus 23 – 25}


This month shall be unto you the

beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. (Exodus 12:2)

(2) This month shall be the beginning of

months for you: it shall be the first month {Nisan [Mar./Apr.]} of the year to you.({02} Exodus 12:2)

This command to Moses in the book of Exodus changed the beginning of the year from the Jewish month Tishri [September/October] to the month Nisan [March/April]. The month Tishri which was originally the first month of the year became the seventh month of the year. Interestingly, modern Jews still start their calendars with the seventh month Tishri, but number their months beginning in Nisan. A Jewish rabbi explained to me that the Jews are the only people who begin their new year in the seventh month rather than the first month of the year.

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(1) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,(2) Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.(Lev. 23:1-2)


"convocation"- public meeting or assembly

Passover- evening of 14th day of the first month [Nisan](Lev. 23:5) {First month according to Exodus 12:2} [Will always occur in March or April]

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(4) These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.(5) In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover.(6) And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. (Lev. 23:4-6)

(4) These are the feasts of the LORD {Jehovah}, even holy assemblies, which you shall proclaim in their seasons. (5) In the fourteenth day of the first month {Nisan [Mar./Apr.]} at evening is the LORD {Jehovah}'s Passoverb. (6) And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened bread to the LORD {Jehovah}: seven days you

must eat unleavened bread. ({03} Lev. 23:4-6)

Note: Jewish days begin at evening {actually 6:00 p.m.} -32-

First Fruits Offering [Biblical Easter]- Sunday following the Saturday which occurs after the Passover in accordance with the holy day of Jesus' resurrection.

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(10) Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:(11) And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.(Lev. 23:10-11)

(10) Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: (11) And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD {Jehovah}, to be accepted for you: on the morning after the sabbath {Saturday} [Easter]c the priest shall wave it. ({03} Lev. 23:10-11)

Pentecost- 50 days from First Fruits Offering {Jewish Shavouth}Note: Modern Jews have changed this to 50 days from Passover – see The Jewish Calendar at www.TheWordNotes.com. According to tradition Moses received the 10 commandments on Pentecost.

King James 1769 Version King James Paraphrase(15) And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:(16) Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.(Lev. 23:15-16)

(15) And you shall count from the morning after the sabbath {Saturday}{Easter}, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven complete sabbaths {Saturdays}: (16) Even to the morning after the seventh sabbath {Saturday} {Pentecost} you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meat offering to the LORD {Jehovah}g. ({03} Lev. 23:15-16)

Feast of Trumpets- The first day of the seventh month [Tishri 1] [Modern Rosh Hashanah {head of the year}]- The Jewish New Year on their modern calendar. Rosh Hashanah will always occur in September or October of the year.

(Lev. 23:27-28)

(Lev. 25:8-10)

(8) And you shall number seven sabbaths {sevens} of years to yourselves, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty and nine years.

The Jewish day starts at 6:00 p.m. rather than midnight as the Gregorian calendar we use. Therefore the phrase "the evening and the morning were the first day" {Gen. 1:5} is literal.The Jewish calendar follows the "Golden Cycle" which is a 19 year cycle of lunar months and solar years. The years 3,6,8,11,14,17, and 19 are leap years. There are 12 "common" years with 7 "leap" years giving a total of 235 lunar months which make up the 19 solar years. The common years may be 353 days, 354 days, or 355 days. The leap years will be 383 days, or 384 days, or 385 days.

Armageddon and The Millennial Kingdom{1000 years of Jesus' reign on present earth} Rev. 20:2-7

When Jesus returns the angels of heaven and we will be with Him. {Col 3:4; I Thes. 3:13; Jude 1:14} ["saint" means "holy one"] There will be those who survive the last seven years of world history, {Zech. 14:16-19} some will accept the Lord, some will not, but He will reign over everyone.All the armies of the world will gather on the plains of Megiddo to do battle with the Lord when He returns. {Rev. 16:12-16}At the "Battle of Armageddon" no battle is actually fought! Jesus will repeat what He said at Calvary: "It is finished." {Rev. 16:17} When He makes that statement, the people present at Megido will kill each other, there will be a great earthquake, and people's flesh will rot while they are still standing. Their blood will flow as high as a horses bridle for 180 miles! {Rev. 14:20}Jesus will descend on the Mount of Olives. {Zech. 14:4; Acts 1:9-12}Jesus will enter Jerusalem by the Eastern Gate. {Ezek. 43:1-4} {The Eastern Gate is the only gate still standing, and it is currently sealed shut!}Jesus will rule the world from Jerusalem. {Zech. 14:16-17, Jer. 3:17; Micah 4:2}When we come back with the Lord, we will already be in our spiritual bodies, {I Cor. 15:42-54} but the survivors of the Tribulation will still have their fleshly

bodies. {Zech. 14:16-19}The twelve disciples of Jesus will rule over the twelve tribes of Israel, and we will be appointed to serve different roles. {Matt 19:28}People will die during the millennium. If a person doesn't live to at least 100, he will be considered cursed by God. {Is. 65:20}Some people will refuse to obey Jesus' command to go to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of Tabernacles; they will be punished. {Zech 14:17-19}There will be no more hunger or thirst. {Is. 49:8-10; Rev. 7:16-17}There will be no more war. {Is. 2:1-4; Micah 4:1-14}There will be no more killing of people or animals.Animals will be tame and will not hurt God's people, or each other. They will not hurt anyone around God's holy mountain. {It is possible they may hurt or kill those who reject the Lord in other places-- the scriptures do not say for sure about this.} {Is. 10:6-9; 65:25}After the 1000 years, Satan will be released for a short time and he will gather people of all nations who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord. He will lead these people in the last great battle against Jesus at Jerusalem. {Rev. 20:1-10}The great invasion will be followed by the Great Throne Judgment, the new heavens, new earth, and New Jerusalem. {Rev. 20:11 - 22:21}After the new heavens and new earth are created there will be no more death or mourning. {Rev. 21:4}

Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles

King James Version New International Version(36) And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? (37) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (38) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. (Acts 8:36-38 KJV)

(36) As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. Why shouldn’t I be baptized?”(37) And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.(Acts 8:36-38 NIV)

Note that in modern translations Acts 8:37 is missing altogether!

I am using the NIV as an example simply because I used it for so many years myself. However, almost ALL modern translations are based on the same corrupted Hebrew and Greek texts.

Look at the above scriptures and notice what has been left out of the modern translations. Then ask yourself these questions:

1) Is Philip's answer to the Ethiopian eunuch important?

2) Is the eunuch's reply to Philip important?

3) Do you really believe the Bible is the inspired word of God?

4) Is it unacceptable to take words out of the Bible just because you don't

believe them?

If your answer to any of the above questions is: yes, you owe it to yourself, your loved ones, your friends, and your church to investigate what is happening to our Bibles. Bible teachers and ministers all over the world today are encouraging people to spend time reading their Bibles not realizing that the Bibles they may be reading may be leading them away from a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and towards a “universal” religion.

For a brief list of changes and omissions see: Appendix J: Examples of Missing Words and Verses of Scripture in Modern Translations - which documents just a few of the changes for those who do not have time for more extensive research.

-45-

Please note that not all of the new translations have made all of the same omissions or changes in wording. Some translators “having got their hands caught in the cookie jar,” so to speak, have stuck some of the more “obvious” omissions back into the text. Still others have put notes at the bottom such as “not in 'best' of texts.” {Namely the new age text.}

In the late 1800's and early 1900's a group of men came together to “update” the Hebrew and Greek texts that the King James Version was based on. The vast majority of modern translations are based on these “updated” [actually “corrupted”] Hebrew and Greek texts. More and more “new” translations are coming out every year and as they do, they are becoming more and more bold about leaving out and re-wording verses of scripture they disagree with.

The ultimate goal of these new translations is to produce a “universal” Bible that is “acceptable” to everyone - omitting the blood sacrifice of Jesus and His deity altogether - and will ultimately be used by the “universal church” prophesied in scripture.

For more detailed information on the modifications that have been made in the Hebrew and Greek texts, and various translations of the Bible, as well as information about the editors who worked on them see Dr. Gail A. Riplinger's book: New Age Bible Versions. Riplinger in her book documents in detail the various translations and the alterations that have been made in parallel format so anyone who can read can immediately see the changes that have been made. Literally hundreds of changes have been made. Her book can be purchased at the web site: www.avpublications.com . Most “Christian” book stores will not carry this book because of the tremendous amount of money that could potentially be lost and because of the controversy created by those who are ignorant of the issues involved.

Also, in his book - "Look What's Missing", David W. Daniels documents 250 intentional changes that have been made to the newer translations, including leaving out Luke 9:54-56, and Acts 8:37 altogether! You can check out his documentation at:

From: Sonny Stephens – A special note concerning the book: New Age Bible Versions

I have long held that the Authorized King James Version of the Bible is the best translation ever compiled by anyone or group of individuals. About 54 scholars who were knowledgeable of Hebrew, Greek, and multiple other languages worked on the actual team that put the text together. Most translations today are put together piece-meal from translations by various individuals who themselves may not even believe in the inspiration of scripture or the deity of Jesus Christ.

For many years I have personally used the New International Version {NIV} simply because I thought it was easier to understand. I also looked up information in Hebrew and Greek texts when I had questions about the translation of a particular passage of scripture not realizing that even those texts

-46-

and lexicons have been extensively altered since the 1600's. I assumed that the New King James Version, when it came out, would be merely a re-write of the original King James Version using more easily understandable words and phrases from more modern English. Without a doubt, I am convinced, that is exactly the reason the version was named the New King James Version, hoping that people would make that assumption and immediately adopt it for themselves without questioning its source. Recently, however, I have discovered that the vast majority of translations of scripture, including the New King James Version {New American Standard Version, New International Version, Revised Standard Version, New Jerusalem Version, Holman Christian Bible, Contemporary English Version, and countless others} are based on Hebrew and Greek texts which have been extensively modified since the days of the King James Version. On top of that, many of the individuals responsible for those modifications to the Hebrew and Greek texts that the modern translations are based on,as well as individuals who worked on many of the modern translations themselves do not even acknowledge the deity of Jesus Christ and in some cases were directly involved with the occult. [See Riplinger's book above for documentation.]

These facts prove they are not led by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and are therefore disqualified from being authoritative on any passage of scripture much less an entire translation. The modifications in every situation is to detract from the accuracy of scripture, and to point away from the deity of Jesus Christ and His blood sacrifice for our sins. I believe every letter of the original Hebrew and Greek texts was given by inspiration of God and without error, historically, scientifically, mathematically, or otherwise. I accept the Ben Chayyim Masoritic Text as the Hebrew text for the Old Testament and the Received Text as the Greek text for the New Testament for research study purposes since these are the primary texts used in translating the Authorized King James Version. It is also notable, that the Equidistant Letter Sequences also known as the Hebrew Codes only work with the Ben Chayyim Masoritic text and not the Hebrew text used by the modern versions. However, it should be noted that the Authorized King James Version does in fact depart from those texts for reasons and/or texts that we are not aware of today. I believe the Authorized King James Version which was based on those texts is an accurate translation and is itself inspired by God for our benefit. I believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God Who

Himself is God; Who also created all things and paid the ransom for forgiveness of sins for all who believe. I believe that this same Jesus Christ will come again in power and glory and will reign upon this present earth as King of kings and Lord of lords. I believe that modifications that have been and still are being made to our Bibles are for the specific purpose of paving the way for the coming of the Anti-Christ and his deception of mankind and the one world false church of which the "New Age Movement" [which actually started in the late 1800's] is only a forerunner.

Another simple test can be used on the vast majority of Bibles to determine whether the text is based on the corrupted texts: Mark 1: 2 states "As it is written in the prophets..." The quote is from two passages: Mal. 3:1 and Is. 40:3 The versions based on the corrupted text change the verse and insert the name "Isaiah" so that the verse reads: "As it is written in the prophet Isaiah..." Interestingly, the New King James Bible version relegates the name Isaiah to a footnote. {However, the New King James Bible has more changes than I can possibly go into here.} Was this word "Isaiah" inserted accidentally? Certainly not! By inserting the name "Isaiah" into the text, the authors intentionally created "an error" in the text. By so doing they would later have a reason to discredit the accuracy of scripture.

Here's another simple test -- John 7:8 The KJV states that Jesus told his brothers: "Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come." Other translations leave out the word "yet" implying that Jesus lied about going to the feast because in verse 10 Jesus did go up to the feast later. Luke 9:54-56 is a good example, where most modern translations leave out Jesus' answer to His disciples altogether.

Do any of the "modern" translations use the uncorrupted Greek and Hebrew texts? I've only found two. The "Modern King James Version" and the "Literal Version" [now referred to as KJ3] both compiled by Jay P. Green Sr. which are available in computer form from: http://www.e-sword.net. These translations are available for reading online now on my own web site. The “Literal Version” now called KJ3 can be purchased online through Sovereign Grace Publishers at: http://www.sgpbooks.com. From what I have examined of both of these texts and compared it with Dr. Riplinger's book, I am satisfied that they pass the test as not being based on the corrupted Hebrew and Greek versions. However the criticism I have of both of these versions at this point is that the author "corrects" the King James Version in cases where it does not agree with the Masoretic Hebrew or Received Greek text. At any rate, for anyone trying to break the trend of following the corrupted texts, and who has difficulty reading the Authorized King James

http://www.sgpbooks.com/

http://www.e-sword.net/

Version-- Dr. Green's versions are the next best thing to the King James Version itself. Do I condemn those who use the "modern" translations? Certainly not! Very few people have taken the time to study this issue and the vast majority of people are completely ignorant of the facts and the ungodly individuals involved with the modern translations. I would caution anyone that while "modern" translations may appear to be "easier to understand" {in reality this usually isn't the case} they cannot be relied upon for "serious" Bible study and do lead the readers to universalism. My suggestion would be to compare any modern translation to the King James Version and where there are differences, follow the King James.

Statement of BeliefIt is my personal conviction that (1) Every single word of scripture is important. (2) That the scriptures say what they mean, and mean what they say. (3) The scriptures are historically, scientifically, and mathematically accurate in every detail. {Note: I am a physics, mathematics, and computer instructor and I take this very seriously. The Equidistant Letter Sequences [commonly referred to as 'Hebrew Code'] as described in notes by myself and others are genuine and are not a human fabrication. To say otherwise is a display of mathematical ignorance and a rejection of the Creator and Author Himself.} (4) God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, Who was born of a virgin, Who lived and died as fully God and fully man. Who arose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of our heavenly Father. He has purchased salvation for all who would accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior. And He's coming back again to first call His children home, then to return with them to reign upon this present earth for 1000 years and on the new heavens and new earth for all eternity. (5) Those who pridefully reject God's free gift of salvation through His only Son, Jesus Christ, will spend all eternity in hell as the scriptures plainly teach. (6) Anyone who does not hold to these minimal convictions is disqualified from participating in any way in the translation of or paraphrase of scriptures.

[B-4] Numerical Values of Hebrew & Greek Letters

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 (2x11) letters with 5 "finals" added to make up three series of 9; 27 in all: [If a letter appears at the end of a word, its form is changed to its “final” if one exists for that letter.] Koph = 100 ק Yod = 10 י Aleph = 1 א Resh = 200 ר Kaph = 20 כ Beth = 2 ב Shin = 300 ש Lamed = 30 ל Gimel = 3 ג Tau = 400 ת Mem = 40 מ Daleth = 4 ד Koph {final} = 500 ך Nun = 50 נ He = 5 ה Mem {final}= 600 ם Samech = 60 ס Vau = 6 ו Nun {final} = 700 ן Ayin = 70 ע Zayin = 7 ז Pe {final}= 800 ף Pe = 80 פ Cheth = 8 ח Tsaddi{final} = 900 ץ Tsaddi = 90 צ Teth = 9 טThe Greek letters were 24 so the required number -- 27 was made up by using the final " ς" call Stigma for 6, and adding two arbitrary symbols called Koppa с for 90, and Sampsi э for 900. {Note: the Koppa and Sampsi are not exactly replicated here due to the lack of a font that contains them.} [Letter on left is “lowercase”, letter to right is “capital”]α Α Alpha = 1 ι Ι Iota = 10 ρ Ρ Rho = 10

β Β Beta = 2 κ Κ Kappa = 20 σ Σ Sigma = 200

θ Θ Theta = 9 с Koppa = 90 э Sampsi = 900

"The letter ς (called Stigma) is used for the number 6. Why this letter and number should be thus associated we cannot tell, except that both are intimately connected with the ancient Egyptian "mysteries." The three letters S S S (ΣΣΣ in Greek ) were the symbol of Isis, which is thus connected with 666. Indeed the expression of this number,χξς , consists of the initial and final letters of the word χρίστος(Cristos ), Christ, viz,χ and ς , with the symbol of the serpent between them, χ -ξ - ς ."

[B-1] Use Of Numbers In Scripture {Signature of God}(These notes available at: www.TheWordNotes.com)

Numbers are the language of all nature and scientific study. The use of numbers in Scripture is a fascinating study all its own, not only because certain words and phrases do in fact occur mathematically consistent numbers of times, but the numerical values of words and phrases {'gematria'} themselves is significant. In Hebrew and in Greek, letters have numerical values – for this reason, every word has a numerical value called its ‘gematria.’ {See Values of Hebrew & Greek Letters.} The role of numbers in the study of Bible prophecy is mind boggling to say the very least. Its use is far beyond our mortal comprehension. In Daniel 8:13 one angel asks another "How long...". The name of "that certain saint" is given in Hebrew as "Palmoni" {פלמוני}and the name means: "the wonderful numberer." In March, 1991, I came across an excellent book dealing with these facts in a manner that far expands the short study I originally presented in my Revelation notes. The book: Number in Scripture, by E.W. Bullinger (1837-1913), Published by Kregel Publications, P.O. Box 2607, Grand Rapids, MI 49501 {ISBN 0-8254-2238-8} is an absolute must for anyone willing to take the time and effort to really deal with this subject.The general rules set forth in Mr. Bullinger's book are stated: "Where there is no such special significance in the meaning or use of a word, there is no special significance in the number of its occurrences. But where there is a general importance in the word, apart from its direct significance , the word occurs according to law.All such general and important words-- i.e. such words on which the Holy Spirit would have us place special emphasis, or would wish us to lay special stress- - occur a certain number of times. These are either-- (1) A square number, or {a number multiplied by itself -- i.e. 4[2x2], 9 [3x3], 16 [4x4], 25 [5x5], 36 [6x6], etc.}(2) A cube, or {a number multiplied by itself twice -- i.e. 8 [2x2x2], 27 [3x3x3], 64 [4x4x4], etc.}(3) A multiple of seven, or (4) a multiple of elevenIt is interesting to notice why these numbers should be thus associated together. They are significant in themselves for seven is one of the four so-called perfect numbers, 3, 7, 10, and 12, as we shall see below. 3 is the number of Divine perfection 7 is the number of Spiritual perfection and completion10 is the number of Ordinal perfection and fullness12 is the number of Governmental perfection."NUMBER:**Note: All number counts are based on the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament.

Note on prime numbers -- Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by themselves and one. They represent a unique attribute of God: Although He is three-in-one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, He is indivisible-- where one is, all members of the God-head are -- which is everywhere at all times.Prime numbers through 1000: 2[1],3[2], 5[3], 7[4], 11[5], 13[6], 17[7], 19[8], 23[9], 29[10], 31[11], 37[12], 41[13], 43[14], 47[15], 53[16], 59[17], 61[18], 67[19], 71[20], 73[21], 79[22], 83[23], 89[24], 97[25], 101[26], 103[27], 107[28], 109[29], 113[30], 127[31], 131[32], 137[33], 139[34],149[35], 151[36], 157[37], 163[38], 167[39], 173[40], 179[41], 181[42], 191[43], 193[44], 197[45], 199[46], 211[47], 223[48], 227[49], 229[50], 233[51], 239[52], 241[53], 251[54], 257[55], 263[56], 269[57], 271[58], 277[59], 281[60], 283[61], 293[62], 307[63], 311[64], 313[65], 317[66], 331[67], 337[68], 347[69], 349[70], 353[71], 359[72], 367[73], 373[74], 379[75], 383[76], 389[77], 397[78], 401[79], 409[80], 419[81], 421[82], 431[83], 433[84], 439[85], 443[86], 449[87], 457[88], 461[89], 463[90], 467[91], 479[92], 487[93], 491[94], 499[95], 503[96], 509[97], 521[98], 523[99], 541[100], 547[101], 557[102], 563[103], 569[104], 571[105], 577[106], 587[107], 593[108], 599[109], 601[110], 607[111], 613[112], 617[113], 619[114], 631[115], 641[116], 643[117], 647[118], 653[119], 659[120], 661[121], 673[122], 677[123], 683[124], 691[125], 701[126], 709[127], 719[128], 727[129], 733[130], 739[131], 743[132], 751[133], 757[134], 761[135], 769[136], 773[137], 787[138], 797[139], 809[140], 811[141], 821[142], 823[143], 827[144], 829[145], 839[146], 853[147], 857[148], 859[149], 863[150], 877[151], 881[152], 883[153], 887[154], 907[155], 911[156], 919[157], 929[158], 937[159], 941[160], 947[161], 953[162], 967[163], 971[164], 977[165], 983[166], 991[167], 997[168]1-- a reference to unity in God (one or first) The first commandment - "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." "Seek first the kingdom of God..." Mat. 6:33 "The first and greatest commandment... Hear, O Israel the Lord our God is one..." Mat 22:37-38 Eph. 4:4-6 -- "One Lord, one faith, one baptism..." - The first question in Genesis is: Where art thou? Gen. 3:9. The first question in the New Testament is: Where is He Who is born...? Mat. 2:2

2--[1st prime number] number of witnesses required by law (Deut. 17:6; 19:15; Ex. 31:18) Note two testaments to God's plan--Old Testament and New Testament; two witnesses-- Israel and the Church; two witnesses in the Revelation (Rev. 11:4f) There are two genealogies of Jesus given in Scripture. Matthew gives the "Royal" descent (through Joseph) and is in ascending order, Luke gives the "human" descent (through Mary) and is in descending order. Also the number two is used for contrast: The first Adam, the Second Adam, etc.3--[2nd prime number] number for God (a reference to the Trinity) The word for God (Eloheem) in Hebrew is a plural noun which requires at least three individuals because of the ending (eem) used. Hebrew has a different ending for singular and

duo (two). Also a reference to "resurrection"; the land rose out of the water on the third day of creation, Jesus arose from the grave on the third day, the future resurrection of God's two witnesses in Jerusalem will occur after three days.4-- number for all the world (Probably a reference to the four directions-- north, south, east, west.) On the fourth day the heavens and earth were completed. (The fifth and sixth days God added plants, animals and man.)5-- [3rd prime number] number for the grace of God (4 + 1) -- Peter's number -- see notes on Peter in Interesting Biblical Number Facts

-53-6-- number for mankind (man was created on the sixth day) also six is one less than seven-- the number for completion. (Man is incomplete without God.) The Greek name for Jesus (ιησους) consists of six letters.7-- [4th prime number] number for completion (6 days of creation plus 1 day of rest gives the complete week of creation) Also, number for spiritual perfection. The Greek name for Christ (χριστος) consists of seven letters. The numbers 6 and 7 are often used together in Scripture.

8-- (23) a number used throughout the Scripture for our Lord. The cube of the number 2. The name Jesus {ιησους} in Greek totals 888 {10+8+200+70+400+200}, { 23x3x37} the name Lord {κυριος}in Greek totals 800 {20+400+100+10+70+200}, the name Savior in Greek {σωτηρ} totals 1408 which = 82 x 2 x 11, the name Messiah in Greek {μεσσιας}totals 656 which = 8 x 82 The numbers 7 and 8 are often used together in Scripture.

9-- number for finality or judgment (666 =2x32x37) (The name Dan in Hebrew totals 54 which is 6x9) {The tribe of Dan is excluded from the list of tribes listed in the Revelation.} The Greek words for Abyss(αβυσσος), ungodly (ασεβης), lightning (αστραπη), and lasciviousness (ασελγεια) all occur exactly 9 times. The sum of the 22 Hebrew letters is 4995 which is 5 x 999 the numbers of Grace and Finality! Nine comes before 10 -- for christians, our judgement comes before our perfection. For the children of Satan these numbers are reversed: i.e. : they think they have perfection, but their end is judgment.10-- number for perfection or cleansing (perfecting of someone or something) The Ten Commandments are the perfect law. (See Rom. 7:12-16) (Seven plus three equals ten-- the complete (seven) Law of God (three). Noah was the tenth generation. The commandments are divided up into three positive 'Thou shalt' and seven negative 'Thou shalt not.' There are four duties of the world (four) to God and six duties of mankind to one another. The Church at Smyrna is told that it will have affliction ten days. (Rev. 2) There are ten days referred to as the days of affliction by the Jews which occur from Rosh Hoshanah to the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur.) There are ten parables of the Kingdom in Matthew. (Seven in chapter 13, and three in chapters 22 and 25.) Also, 2 times 5 -- see 2 and 5 above.11-- [5th prime number] one short of the number 12, Nebuchadnezzar began his destruction of Jerusalem during Jehoiakim's eleventh year (II Ki. 23:36, 24:1, II Chron. 35:5-6) The fifth prime number.12-- the number for God's (three) witness to the world (four) [3x4=12] Twelve

tribes of Israel-- Israel is still a witness to the work of God and His great love for all of mankind. There were twelve apostles. Also the number of governmental perfection.13--[6th prime number] the number for rebellion, corruption, and apostasy The numbers 8 and 13 are often used in opposition. The numerical values of the names in the line of Seth (Adam to Japheth = 3168 which is 8 x 396) {Jesus came through the line of Seth.} The numerical values of the names in the line of Cain (Adam to Tubal Cain = 2223 which is 13 x 9 x 19 . The sixth prime number.17-- [7th prime number] the sum of 7 and 10 it is also the seventh prime number. See the numbers 7, and 10 above. In Rom. 8:35-39 there are 17 things listed which cannot separate us from the love of Christ.

-54-19-- [8th prime number] the eighth prime number. The sum of 9 and 10. See notes on 7, 9 and 10 above.23-- the ninth prime number24-- number of elders mentioned in Rev. 4 (6x4=24 and 12x2=24) These elders probably are representatives of God's people from all the world (from all nations) Note also 12 tribes of Israel and 12 apostles (The Church)-- God's two witnesses to the present world.29-- tenth prime number31-- eleventh prime number37-- [twelfth prime number. I am not presently aware of its significance except that it appears in both the numbers 666 and 888. See the number 12 above.40-- cleansing, perfecting, testing (ten) of the world (four). It rained 40 days and 40 nights during the Great Flood to cleanse the earth. Moses, Elijah, and Jesus each spent times of 40 days in the mountains for testing and cleansing. Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness to cleanse her from the rebels against God.51-- {3x17} number of Divine revelation (24 books of the Old Testament + 27 books of the New Testament)[Note: the double books: I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, I & II Chronicles are taken as single books in the Hebrew Old Testament. The 12 "minor" prophets made up a single book. Ezra and Nehemiah made up a single book. -- Thus there were 24 books in the original Hebrew Old Testament.]84-- number of generations to complete (seven) God's (three) witness to the world (four) [7x3x4=84 and 7x12=84] 3x7 generations from Adam to Abraham (See Luke 3) 6x7 generations from Abraham to Christ (See Matt. 1) 3x7 generations from Christ to this present generation (See Gen. 15:13-16 -- one generation= 100 years) Also: 3x7 generations of witness by individuals 6x7 generations of witness through Israel 3x7 generations of witness through the Church Plus note that this last generation includes both a witness through Israel and the Church, a further confirmation to the required number of witnesses given in the Law of Moses.

153-- {32 x 17} The number of fish caught in the apostles' net (John 21:11) The Hebrew expression 'Sons of God ' (Beni Ha-Elohim) occurs 7 times {one slightly different Beni El-Hai 'Sons of the living God'} and the first expression totals 153. The sum of the numbers from 1 to 17 {the seventh prime number} totals 153. The phrase 'joint heirs' in Greek (Rom. 8:17_) totals 1071 which is 7 x153. The phrase "the creation of God" (της κτισεως του θεου) in Greek [Rev 3:14] totals 1224 which is 8 x 153.{23 x 32 x 17}666- man claiming to be God (three- sixes)--man in his most powerful form and majesty-- without God. The number for the Anti-Christ. (Rev. 13:18; Dan. 11:36; II Thes. 2:4) The number 666 occurs exactly three times in the Bible- twice in the Old Testament (I Kings 10:14, and Ezra 2:13) and once in the New Testament (Rev.13:18) In both Ezra and the Revelation the number is associated with a name! Much debate has arisen through the years concerning the number in the Revelation, but the number in the Old Testament is explicit-- it is

-55-

associated with the name- Adonikam {אדניקם} (translated it means "The lord of the enemy" or "Come My Lord" depending on how vowels are added to the Hebrew consonants) Three descendants of Adonikam are mentioned by name: Eliphelet {{שמעיה} and Shemaiah ,(God carries away){ יעיאל} Jeuel ,(my God delivers){אליפלט(she [Israel?] listened) {Ezra 8:13} It is also interesting to note that in Ezra the number is in reference to a family returning from exile in Babylon and in the Revelation it is in reference to one who will cause Israel to once again go into exile. The sum of the numbers from 1 to 36 (36 is 6 2) = 666 {2x3x3x37 or 2x32x37}888- the number for our Lord. Three- eights. { 23x3x37} See the number 3, 8, and 37 above. Jesus is the perfect witness.

The number 666 is also the sum of all numbers which make up the square of 6 (36)! I.E. 1+2+3+4+5...+36=666

These numbers can also be arranged in a square such that the sum of the six figures in any direction totals 111 [3x37].

*Note the use of M for 1000 according to Bullinger may have actually been two D's put together!

The use of the number 1 is also important for first occurrences:

The first use of "Hallelujah" in the Old Testament is in Ps. 94:35: "Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, And let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul, Hallelujah."The first use of "Hallelujah" in the New Testament is in Rev. 19:1-3 "I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honour, and power unto the Lord our God; for true and righteous are His judgments; for He hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand, and again they said Alleluia."

Notice that in both cases this word of praise is associated with judgment of the ungodly.

The first occurrence of the word HOLY, is in Exodus 3:5 -- Not in the book of Genesis which is the book of beginnings, but in the Exodus which is the book of redemption! As Bullinger says: "The creature cannot understand anything about holiness except on the ground of redemption."

The first question in the Bible is from God: "Where art thou?"

The number of Hebrew words in the first verse of Genesis is 7. { הארץ׃ ואת השמים את אלהים ברא בראשית } The number of Hebrew letters in the first verse is 28 {4x7}.

The first three Hebrew words { אלהים ברא בראשית } translated "In the beginning God created" contain 14 {2x7} letters

The last four Hebrew words { הארץ ואת השמים את } contain 14 {2x7}letters. The three key words: God{אלהים}; Heaven{השמים} and earth{הארץ} have 14 {2x7} letters in Hebrew. The numeric value of the first, middle and last letters is 133 {19x7} The numeric value of the first and last letters of all seven words is 1393 {199x7}The shortest word in the verse is the middle word which is only two letters {translated as 'the'} {את} the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet {like alpha and omega of the Greek alphabet.

The first section of Matthew's gospel Matt. 1:1-17 dealing with the geneology of Jesus: There are 72 {8x9} vocabulary words whose total value is 43,364 {6,052x7} The number of Greek nouns in the passage is 56 {8x7} The Greek article for "the" occurs 56 {8x7} times The first eleven verses contain 49 {7x7} words Of these 49 words, 28 {4x7} begin with a vowel and 21 {3x7} begin with a consonant. The number of letters in these 49 words is 266 {38x7} Of these 49 words 35 {5x7} occur more than once Of these 49 words 14 {2x7} occur only once The number of proper names is 35 {5x7} The number of times these proper names appears is 63 {9x7} Of the 35 names, the number of male names is 28 {4x7} The number of female names is 7.

Three women, Tamar{תמר}, Rahab{רחב} and Ruth{רות}, are named in this section. The number of Hebrew letters in these three names is 3.

In the second passage of Matthew {Mat. 1:18-25} The number of words in this passage is 161 {23x7} The number of vocabulary words is 77 {11x7} Six Greek words occur only in this passage and never again in Matthew. These six words contain exactly 56 letters {8x7} The number of proper names in the passage is 7. The number of Greek letters in these seven proper names is 42 {6x7} The number of words spoken by the angel to Joseph is 28 {4x7} The number of Greek forms of words in the angel's speech is 35 {5x7} The number of letters in the angel's words is 168 {24x7}

Although I had researched numbers in Scripture long before I heard about Bro. Bullinger, much of the material in this paper is taken directly from his work which is far more extensive than I have had time to investigate. Space and time prohibit my continuing this study further. The lists go on and on and on. No human, even with the most sophisticated computers could have so eloquently stamped the numerical signature of God throughout the entire Bible. The point of all this is simple: The Creator of the universe is one and the same as the Author of Scripture. The more carefully and exactly we study God's word, the more absolute proof we have that only He could have put it all together. Hopefully, these facts will present you with a new sense of respect for Jesus' words: "Not a jot or tittle (literally, not even the dot of an i) will pass away until all is fulfilled."

[B-3] Interesting Number Facts In Nature

[Most of the following come from E.W. Bullinger's (1837-1913) book: Number in Scripture] It should not surprise us that the same numbers which appear throughout the Bible also appear throughout nature! {God is the Author of the Bible and the laws of science.} In engineering and physics we learn that the most stable of all formations is a triangle which has 3 sides. In mathematics there are four primary rectilinear forms: In a plane The triangle with 3 sides The square has 4 sides 4+3=7 In the solid The pyramid has 5 sides The cube has 6 sides 5+6=11In animals the period of gestation (time from conception to birth) The mouse is 21 (3 x 7) days

The hare and rat, 28 (4 x 7) days The cat, 56 (8 x 7) days The dog, 63 (9 x 7) days The lion, 98 (14 x 7) days The sheep, 147 (21 x 7) days The common hen, 21 (3 x 7) days The duck, 42 (6 x 7) days For man, 280 (40 x 7) days

There are seven colors in the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). {There are 3 primary colors and 4 secondary colors}There are seven levels of classification for the plant and animal kingdoms: kingdom, sub-kingdom, class, order, family, genus, species.There are three primary phases of matter: solid, liquid, gasThere are three primary parts of an atom: electrons, protons, and neutrons.The musical scale consisting of notes distinguishable by the human ear all consist of numbers of vibration which are multiples of 11 {middle C = 264 hz --> 24x11, D = 297 hz --> 27x11, etc.}The atomic numbers of every important element is a multiple of 4 or 7 {gold is 196 (4x72), iron is 56 (7x23), silver is 108 (22x33), copper is (7x32), carbon is 12 (3x4), mercury is 200 (4x2x52), Uranium is 236 (4x59), etc.}The same laws of numbers apply to plants as well. The number of leaves on various plants before one leaf is exactly lined up with one below it is always the same: In the apple it is always the fifth leaf In the oak it is always the fourth leaf In the peach it is the sixth In the holly it is the eighth; but it takes two turns of the spiral before the leaf stands

immediately over the first.

[B-5] Equidistant Letter Sequences [ELS]{Signature of God #2}

[[Special note on ELS -- ELS works ONLY with the Masoretic Hebrew Text which the King James Version of the Bible is based on. Much of it does not work with the modified Biblia Hebraica Hebrew text that most modern Bible translations including the NIV, NASB, NKJV, and countless others are based on. See the section entitled Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles .]] Wednesday, March 26, 1997 I went to the Waco Richland Mall with my wife and daughter. After sitting down on a bench for several minutes, Susie {my wife} motioned to me. I was not sure what she wanted, so I went into the Family Christian Bookstore where she was to see what she wanted. She was looking for our daughter Connie, but just as I came into the store she spotted her. After entering the store I began to feel that there was something in the store the Lord wanted me to see, so I began looking around. Suddenly, I spotted the book entitled: The Signature of God , by Grant Jeffrey. The book caught my eye, because the name of the book is a subtitle I had used for many years in my notes on The Use of Numbers in Scripture in my Revelation study series. As I looked at the title of Mr. Jeffrey's book I thought, "I already know what the 'Signature of God' is-- it is how God uses numbers and mathematics in the scriptures from Genesis to the Revelation in ways that no human could have master-minded." I was curious to find out what this person "thought" was the "signature of God." As I began to read the book I learned what I consider to be the best mathematical proof to date about the accuracy and authorship of the Bible. I soon remembered that Grant Jeffrey was the author of another book I had read earlier titled: Armageddon- Appointment With Destiny. The following notes have mostly been taken from Grant Jeffrey's book The Signature of God.The basic idea behind Equidistant Letter Sequences [ELS] {also known as Bible Code} is this: Take important words such as TORAH { רהות }[Torah which means the "Law" refers to the first 5 books of the Bible - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy], locate the first letter of the word, search sequentially in the Hebrew text until you arrive at the second letter of the word, count the number of letters from the first letter to the second letter, add this number to the second letter and see if the letter there corresponds to the third letter, if it does, add the same number of letters to the third letter and see if it corresponds to the fourth letter. With 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, the probability of the third letter being the correct letter would be 1 out of 22, the probability of the fourth letter also being the correct letter would be 1 out of 22 x 22 {222 or 1 out of 484}, the probability of the fifth also being correct would be 1 out of 22 x 22 x 22 {223 or 1 out of 10,648}, etc. Obviously the probability of actually spelling out a long word or phrase would be extremely small. Although a person might expect a couple of occurrences of a particular short word in a manuscript as long as the Bible, the vast number of such occurrences recently discovered in the Hebrew Bible by teams of computer scientists and mathematicians using super computers at Jerusalem's Hebrew University and the Jerusalem College of Technology is so

overwhelming only those who have a completely rejected God and closed their minds could brush aside this evidence for the authorship of the scriptures. {These studies have now been duplicated and confirmed independently by researchers at Harvard and Yale!} I have personally duplicated a number of these myself with a computer program.

[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 1] -66-The following is a quote from Grant Jeffrey's book, The Signature of God , p. 227:"Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl was a brilliant Czechoslovakian Jewish scholar in astronomy, mathematics, and Judaic studies. In the years before World War I, he found an obscure but intriguing reference to the Bible Codes in a rare book written by a fourteenth-century rabbi known as Rabbeynu Bachayah. The book described a curious pattern of letters encoded within the Torah by skipping an equal number of letters. This discovery inspired Rabbi Weissmandl to begin exploring to see if he could detect other examples of similar codes hidden within the Torah. During the following years, Weissmandl found that he could locate certain meaningful and related words or phrases, such as “hammer” and “anvil”, if he examined the letters at sequences that were equally spaced in the Hebrew text. In other words, if he found the first letter of a significant word such as 'Torah,' and then, by skipping forward seven letters he found the second letter of the same word, he would continue to skip forward the same number of letters to see whether or not the complete word 'Torah' was spelled out in the text at equally spaced intervals. Rabbi Weissmandl' described this unusual phenomenon as 'equidistant letter sequences' [ELS].”The rabbi was astonished to find that an incredible number of significant words were hidden in code within the text of the Torah at equally spaced intervals." Rabbi Weissmandl left no written records of his discoveries, but many of his students spread his work which ultimately reached the mathematicians and scientists in Jerusalem.The Torah was completed by Moses sometime just before his death {2552 A.H. around 1496 B.C.} The Hebrew Old Testament was canonized around 300 B.C. and has been unchanged since that time. The Greek New Testament was canonized around 300 A.D. and has remained unchanged since that time.In 1988 a team of Jewish computer scientists and mathematicians put a computer program together to search for encoded words in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Their first test was to search for word pairs such as: hammer and anvil, tree and leaf, man and woman, etc. They searched for 300 word pairs and to their amazement found every pair encoded in the Hebrew text! Their work was published in a paper called: Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis, in the Journal of Royal Statistical Society. Since that time multitudes of other discoveries have been made.The following is merely a small sample of what has now been discovered. For more information see the references at the end of this section.In Genesis 1:1, beginning with the first occurrence of the Hebrew letter tav {ת}, counting 49 letters the second letter of 'Torah' appears, counting 49 more letters

the third letter appears, counting 49 more letters the fourth letter appears-- Torah { רהות } is spelled out using every 50th letter of the text.

The Hebrew word for Israel {ישראל} is spelled out in the opening passage of Genesis by skipping every seven letters and once again by skipping every fifty letters within a short passage of only five verses [Genesis 1:30-2:3] Grant Jeffery notes that these verses where Israel is encoded are known as the Kiddush and are recited by Jews around the world every Sabbath.Beginning with Exodus 1:1, Torah is spelled out the same way; every 50th letter beginning with the first appearance of the Hebrew letter tav {ת}.

[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 2] -67-

Leviticus does not have 'Torah' encoded, but has Jehovah {God's name} {יהוה} spelled out beginning with the first appearance of the Hebrew letter yod {י} and counting forward every 8th letter {Note: the number 8 [23] is God's number -- see Use of Numbers In Scripture.

In Genesis 2:4-10 the word 'Eden' {עדן} is encoded 16 times [24] in the passage which is only 379 Hebrew letters long.Numbers and Deuteronomy both have 'Torah' encoded in the initial verses of the books, but in Numbers 'Torah' is spelled out in reverse order using 50 letter intervals. In Deuteronomy, 'Torah' is also spelled out in reverse order at 49 letter intervals beginning in the 5th verse. In Genesis 2 which deals with the garden of Eden, there are 25 different modern Hebrew names for trees encoded.Other series:In Genesis 38 which describes the birth of Pharez to Tamar by Judah {an ancestor to King David} has encoded within it the five descendants from Judah to King David in the correct chronological order! {Nearly 500 years before David's birth!}'Zedekiah' the last king of Judah and 'Matanya' his original name are encoded in Genesis. {Nearly 1000 years before Zedekiah's reign!}'Hanukkah' which refers to the festival of lights commemorating the rededication of the temple after the Maccabee's recaptured it around 165 B.C. from Antiochus IV Epiphanes was found encoded in sequence with 'Hasmoneans' the famous name of the family of warriors led by Judas Maccabee are encoded in Genesis. {Nearly 1300 years before the Maccabees!}'The name of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's occurred together with the name of the leader of the Moslem Brotherhood assassination team that killed him. The same code sequence also contained the year of his assassination, 1981, and the {modern Hebrew} words for 'president,' 'gunfire,' 'shot,' and 'murder.' Incredibly, even the {modern Hebrew} word for 'parade' appears in this coded sequence. President Sadat was assassinated during the president's review of a military parade in 1981.' {P. 209 -- The Signature of God} {These were encoded in the Torah about 3400 years before the event!}

In Deuteronomy 10:17-22 the word 'Hitler' { יטלרה } is spelled out at a 22 letter interval beginning with the 9th occurrence of the Hebrew letter heth {ה}. Beginning with the next to last appearance of the Hebrew letter beth {ב} in this passage, researchers counted backwards every 13th letter and discovered the phrase "b'yam mara Auschwitz" which means, "in the bitter sea of Auschwitz."

"Auschwitz"[ שויץאו ], "Belsen", "Hitler" { יטלרה }, and "Berlin" are all clustered encoded in this Deuteronomy passage.Scientists also discovered in Deuteronomy 33:16 beginning with the Hebrew letter mem {מ} and counting every 246th letter spelled out the phrase "Melek Natzim" [

נאצים מלך ] which means "King of the Nazis"In Genesis 39 to 41 "Mapecha HaSarfatit" which spells "the French Revolution" in Hebrew, "Louis", the name of the French king, the "house of Bourbon," "Hamarseilles" the name of the French national anthem, and "Bastillia" the infamous French prison for political prisoners are all encoded -- interestingly these chapters describe Joseph's imprisonment in Egypt.

[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 3] -68-The team of scientists from the Jerusalem schools selected 34 names of Jewish rabbis and sages who lived from around 900 A.D. to 1900 A.D. found in the "Encyclopedia of Great Men in Israel" based on the longest biographies and tested the Torah to see if any of their names could be found. They found that not only did their names appear, but their names even appeared together with either their year of birth, or their year of death in the same encoded sequences. When the results of this study was submitted to Statistical Science Journal for publication, the editor demanded that the staff of the journal be allowed to randomly select 32 more names from the same encyclopedia and submit those names for testing. To their astonishment these additional 32 names together with either the year of their birth or the year of their death were also found encoded in the Torah bringing a total of 64 known modern day men whose names have already been found in the Torah.

In the first chapter of Leviticus, Aaron's { רןאה } name is encoded 25 times not counting the 4 times in appears in the normal surface text. {Aaron, Moses' older brother, was Israel's first high priest.}Yacov Rambsel, a Jewish student, whose book: Yeshua - The Hebrew Factor , has discovered references to the name of Jesus throughout the Old Testament. The following is only a small sample:Beginning in the first verse of Genesis beginning with the 5th letter [5 is the number for grace in the Bible -- see Use of Numbers In Scripture], yod {י}, counting every 521st letter the words 'Yeshua Yakhol' appears which means "Jesus is able."In Isaiah 53:10 which prophesies the grief of our Lord and His sacrifice for our sins -- beginning with the second yod {י} in the eleventh word {יאריך} and counting every 20th letter left to right appears the phrase "Yeshua Shmi" { שמי ישוע } which means "Jesus is My Name"

http://useofnum.htm/

In Genesis 3:20-21 beginning with the last letter heth {ה} in verse 20 and counting every 9th letter appears the name "Yoshiah" {יושיעה} which means "He will save" -- a Hebrew equivalent name for Yeshua - Jesus. Remember Matthew 1:21 "thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins." -- the Hebrew name Yeshua is also encoded in the same passage beginning with the letter ayin {ע} in the Hebrew word for "coats of skin" and counting forward every 7th letter.In Zechariah 11:12 which prophecies the price Jesus would be betrayed for -- 30 pieces of silver, beginning with the letter yod {י}, counting every 24th letter spells out the name 'Yeshua.'

In Zechariah 12:10 beginning with the letter cheth {ח} found in the phrase "an only son" -- the Hebrew word for "Messiah" is encoded counting every 38th letter.

In Leviticus 21:10-12 beginning with the first heth {ה} and counting every 3rd letter is spelled out "han dam Yeshua" [ הן דמ ישוע ] which means "Behold, the blood of Jesus."In Psalm 41:7-10 which prophecies the plot against Jesus, beginning with the first yod {י} in verse 8 contained in the phrase 'they plot evil' counting every 2nd letter spells out the name 'Yeshua.'


The book of Ruth beginning in Ruth 1:1 and the fourth yod {י}, every 5th letter spells out 'Yeshua.' Jesus is a direct descendant of Ruth {Matthew 1:5}.Isaiah 61:12 beginning with the yod in the phrase 'spirit of the Lord God' counting every 9 letters spells out the name Oshiya which means "I will save" and is a variation of Yeshua.

In Daniel 9:26 beginning with the letter yod {י} in the phrase "the city," counting every 26th letter backwards spells out the name Yeshua."The Israeli scientists wrote a follow-up paper for submission to Statistical Science, a scientific journal that insisted that a group of opposing scholars review and challenge their data and examine their computer program before publication. Despite the fact that all of the reviewers held previous beliefs against the inspiration of the Scriptures, the overwhelming evidence and the integrity of the data forced the editors to approve the study's scientific accuracy and reluctantly publish the article. Robert Kaas, the editor of Statistical Science, wrote this comment about the study: "Our referees were baffled: their prior beliefs made them think the Book of Genesis could not possibly contain meaningful references to modern day individuals, yet when the authors carried out additional analyses and checks the effect persisted." {The Signature of God P. 212}"Scientists who have studied these results state no human could create such a Hebrew document containing hundreds of encoded, significant words hidden within this text. They concluded that it would be impossible to reproduce this

phenomenon in Hebrew {or any other language} text even if they had the help of a group of brilliant language geniuses, or the assistance of the world's most sophisticated super-computers." {The Signature of God P. 213}In an attempt to suggest that all of these "coincidences" could occur in other religious Hebrew texts scientists selected the Samaritan Pentateuch which differs in only small textual changes from the Hebrew Bible and after much testing concluded that none of the word pairs found in the Hebrew Bible appeared. In another attempt, a Hebrew translation of Tolstoy's "War and Peace" which is about the same length as Genesis was used, but no hidden codes were found. The same tests were run on the Hebrew apocryphal books written during the 400 years prior to Jesus' birth, but again, no such encoded words were found. {The Signature of God P. 215}Professor Harold Gans, a brilliant mathematician who examined sophisticated foreign government intelligence codes for the U.S. and has published over 180 technical papers, doubted the research conducted in Jerusalem. Dr. Gans wrote his own complex computer program to examine the Hebrew text. After running his program for 19 straight days and nights to test the codes he concluded the codes were real, and today he teaches classes in synagogues throughout the world. {The Signature of God P. 217}In these last days, the Lord has removed the knowledge of His Word from the liberal theologians and has turned it over to the scientists, mathematicians, and computer programmers who understand the difference between facts, empirical evidence, and true logic and -- the vain philosophies of men. Our faith is not built on "blind" faith, but on faith in the Author of all truth; the Creator of the "laws" of science and the "laws" of mathematics. Anyone who can recognize Hebrew and Greek letters and can count can verify everything presented in these notes dealing with the use of numbers in Scripture.The following listing of codes comes from the book His Name Is Jesus, By Yacov Rambsel {Hebrew is read from right to left-- negative intervals means the letters are read in reverse order.}

Note that Jesus and His disciples are all named in Isaiah 52-53 with one notable exception-- Judas. Matthias is named by name only one time in the Bible, and that is in Acts chapter one where he was chosen to take Judas' place! This is the same passage which tells us “He was wounded for our transgressions” and “By His stripes we are healed!”

There is no other literature in existence which contains hidden codes in the manner given here. Numerous Hebrew texts including a Hebrew version of War and Peace [which contains about the same volume of material as the book of Genesis] have been tested with no codes being found. The above lists which are only a small sampling of the discoveries which have been made demonstrate the uniqueness of the scriptures, an orderliness, and an all-knowing plan of human existence which cannot be explained away. The possibility of these codes appearing anywhere by pure chance is mathematically impossible.

The fact that the Bible Codes even exist is important, but what is even more fascinating is where they are located. When looking at the ELS codes it is always significant where the codes are located. It is for that reason in my Examples of ELS Bible Code {see Appendix K} I have provided interlinear translation of the Hebrew text. Grant Jeffrey points out that nearly all, if not all, passages prophecying the coming Messiah contain the name of Jesus encoded within them. While I have not personally had the time to check out every occurance, the ones I have checked out are in agreement with his point!!! Obviously, arguing over the accuracy or inerrancy of Scripture is pure foolishness when the FACTS are examined in a scientific and intelligent manner. However, the most important question of all is not whether you know about the Scriptures, nor even whether you believe the Scriptures, but whether you know and have a saving relationship with their Author.

(3) And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. (4) Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. (5) Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: (6) And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. (7) So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

(3) And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD {Jehovah}, You know. (4) Again He said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the LORD {Jehovah}.

(7) So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and indeed a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

{27} Daniel

King James Version King James Paraphrase(9) But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof. (10) The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. (11) And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. (12) For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. (13) And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. (14) Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: (15) He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. (16) Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.

(11) And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no one else who can show it to the king, except the gods, who do not live with flesh. (12) Because of this the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed. (13) And the decree went forth that the wise men should be killed; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be killed. (14) Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who had gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon: (15) He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. (16) Then Daniel went in, and requested of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.

(19) Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

(24) Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said these things to him; Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation. (25) Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said

(13) As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us: yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD {Jehovah} our God, that we might turn from our sins, and understand Your truth. (14) Therefore the LORD {Jehovah} has looked upon the evil, and brought it upon us: because the LORD

obeyed not his voice. (15) And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. (16) O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

{Jehovah} our God is righteous in all His works which He does: because we did not obey His voice. (15) And now, O Lord our God, Who has brought Your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and has been made known to all, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. (16) O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I beg of You, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the sins of our forefathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.

Jesus lived about 33 years [483-33=450] this means Cyrus decree was 450 years before Jesus was born - see Appendix G: World Time Line of Biblical History9:26f - after the sixty-two - seven and sixty-two [refer back to 9:25]9:26g - cut off - killed (crucified) - 483 of 490 years were fulfilled when Jesus was crucified 7 years yet remain to be fulfilled.

Chapter 10(1) In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. (2) In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. (3) I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

(29) At the time appointed he will returnl, and come toward the south; but it will not be as the former, or as the latter.(30) Because the ships of Chittim will come against him: therefore he will be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so he will do; he will even return, and have intelligence with those who forsake the holy covenant. (31) And arms will stand on his part, and they will pollute the sanctuary of strength, and will take away the daily sacrifice, and they will place the abomination that makes desolate. (32) And he will corrupt by flatteries those who act wickedly against the covenant: but the people who know their God will be strong, and do exploits.(33) And those who understand among the people will instruct many: yet they will fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. (34) Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help: but many will cling to them with flatteries. (35) And some of those of understanding will fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

11:29l - from this point on there is some disagreement as to who is being talked about. Antiochus desecrated the temple by sacrificing a pig on the alter. He was a type of anti-christ. There is no question that most of the following verses refers specifically to

the Anti-Christ who is yet to come.


{27} DanielKing James Version King James Paraphrase(36) And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. (37) Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. (38) But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. (39) Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. (40) And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. (41) He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. (42) He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

(36) And the king will do according to his will; and he will exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and will prosper until the indignation is accomplished: because that which is determined will be done. (37) Neither will he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of womenm, nor regard any god: because he will magnify himself above all.(38) But in his place he will honor the god of forcesn: and a god whom his forefathers did not know he will honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. (39) So he will do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he will acknowledge and increase with glory: and he will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for gain. (40) And at the time of the end the king of the south will push at him: and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass over. (41) He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown: but these will escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. (42) He will stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land

of Egypt will not escape.

11:37m - desire of women - could be a reference to the antichrist being a homosexual- a man totally devoid of all God-given desires, but if we capitalize Desire of Women, it could be a reference to Jesus.11:38n – the god of forces [11:39 - strange god] - Satan

King James Version King James ParaphraseChapter 24(1) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. (2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (3) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (6) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

24:36h - The phrase 'day and hour' has specific meaning with regard to the Jewish calendar Which is based upon the New Moon. Note the present tense verb "knows" -- to translate as "will know" is a mistranslation of God's word!! The verb "knows" literally means to "reckon" or to "calculate" or "to see" [οιδεν]. A correct translation would be: " But of that day and hour no one has presently calculated." -- Even if the verse is willfully mistranslated : "But of that DAY and HOUR no one WILL know." The limitation is to DAY and HOUR. On the earth at any given time there are two days present!!! In the Greek text the word 'oiden' [οιδεν] is actually in the aorist or past tense - "of that day and hour no one has seen"24:37i - Noah knew the exact day of the flood (Gen. 7:4) – unbelievers were caught off guard


Matthew's account:Location: Jesus departed from the temple and went to the Mt. of OlivesAudience: Jesus' disciplesQuestion: Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the world?Verse 15: The abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet has not yet occurred.When it does occur, those who flee at once to the wilderness will be protected. Note that there will be no armies around Jerusalem when the abomination is set up.

(5) And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, (6) As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Notes on The Rapture

The Appearing [parousia] of our Lord (I John 3:2) refers to the Rapture. Whenever the name of our Lord is used such as the Day of the Lord Jesus, the Day of Christ, the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ, etc. it is always a reference to the Rapture and is a time of joy for God’s children who are meeting Him in the air. We believe that only God’s children will actually see Him at the Rapture.

The Second Coming of our Lord refers to Armageddon when our Lord returns with us to reign upon this present earth for 1000 years at the end of Israel’s last seven years. Whenever the day is referred to as the Day of the Lord, or the Day of God, (and does not include Jesus’ name) it always refers to the day of Armageddon and is a time of darkness and destruction of ungodly men. At the Second Coming – every eye shall see Him.

We are not told that we will see him in the temple.2:7c - "he who now restrains .. until he is taken out of the way" - there is some question as to who this individual is who is restraining the man of sin [i.e. the antichrist] -- It could be the Holy Spirit Who may be removed in the present sense from the earth at the time of the Rapture. It is also possible that Michael or another angel is preventing the antichrist from his reign until his time has come to reign. Traditionally many have believed that it was some governing official or the pope. Whoever it is, will cease to restrain the antichrist when it is the proper time.

3:6a - Gen. 6 - 83:9b - this verse gives us the reason why the Lord has not already come back! He is patient and is giving people of the world time to repent because it is not His will that any should perish. If anyone does go to hell (which is prepared for the devil and his angels [Mat. 25:41]) it is because they have chosen to reject God's Son.

Appendix AWORLD TIME LINE OF BIBLICAL HISTORY

{With notes and Scriptural references by Sonny Stephens -- revised 9/15/2017available at: http://www.TheWordNotes.com}

The chronology used in most Bibles is from Archbishop Ussher published in 1650 A.D.. He puts Adam's creation at 4004 B.C. and the exodus at 1491 B.C. The chronology compiled here is based on the Scriptures and the outstanding work of Dr. David L. Cooper, president of the Biblical Research Society. For more information on this subject see his book: Messiah: His First Coming Scheduled, published by the Biblical Research Society, Los Angelos, Ca.. {1939} [See www.biblicalresearch.info] I have personally verified all counts, added Scriptural references, and have both noted and given explanations for the departures from the traditional chronology. B.C. dates given here have been corrected in accordance with Dr. Cooper's findings, except for the 4 year error dating the birth of Christ at 4 B.C. which has been retained in order to keep our present Gregorian calendar intact. Any errors which may be discovered in the B.C. calendar or in our modern Gregorian calendar do not in any way affect the accuracy of the A.H. calendar prior to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. There is some question even among historians as to the exact year of Jesus' birth. Some say as early as 5 B.C.; others as late as 1 A.D. The commonly accepted 4 B.C. has been accepted here until more evidence proves otherwise. There are two Biblical events which are subject to at least some degree of interpretation: (1) The first question is whether the Ammonite rule over the eastern bank of the Jordan (2852 A.H.) and the Philistine rule over the rest of Israel (2923 A.H.) were actually concurrent. {At least for the present I am standing by Dr. Cooper's analysis which indicates these events were not concurrent even though this is not commonly accepted.} (2) The second question is whether the reign of Abimelech (2826 A.H.) should be counted as part of the oppression years, since he had no legitimate claim to the judgeship. {Again, I am going with Dr. Cooper's position, that because Abimelech usurped the judgeship, his reign should be counted as part of the oppression years.} I remain open on all of these issues until it can be clearly demonstrated otherwise. Since the oppression years were not counted in the 480 years from the Exodus to Solomon's fourth year (I Ki. 6:1,38), either of these events would affect the over all chronology after Abimelech's judgeship began in 2826 A.H. All dates given unless indicated otherwise are Scripturally accurate to within a year. (Dates in parenthesis are from secular history sources but in no way affect the Biblical chronology.)A.H. - Anno Hominis -- Year of Man -- figured from the creation of Adam. This calendar does not correspond to the Jewish C.E. (Creation Event or Common Era) calendar due to the halting of the Jewish calendar during periods of oppression which has created a number of discrepancies.B.C. - Before Christ - dates can be obtained by subtracting the A.H. date from 4042. {or 4039 if Jesus was born 1 A.D.} The question of the possible concurrent rule of the Ammonites and Philistines [2852 A.H. and 2923 A.H. respectively]

would reduce the difference between the traditional 4004 B.C. and 4042 B.C. by 31 years giving a difference of only 7 years. See note at end concerning the 83 year error with modern chronologies.

The A.H. dating can be verified Biblically through the year 3589 A.H. when king Cyrus issued the decree to restore Jerusalem [Is. 44:28]; together with the prophecy of Daniel the date of Jesus' crucifixion can be accurately and Biblically determined. {With the three above noted question marks.} By adding the year

1948 A.D. and the four year error in the dating of the birth of Christ (4 B.C.) to the year of Christ's birth 4038 A.H. we can place the re-birth of Israel as a nation in the year 5990 A.H.. I am not completely convinced that the 4 year error at the birth of Jesus is the only error in the Gregorian calendar. Also, it should be noted that because of the overlapping chronologies given for the Northern and Southern kingdoms given in scripture, the dating of the reigns of the kings gives us a chronology during the divided kingdoms of plus or minus half a year. However, after the fall of the Northern kingdom, thereis no longer an overlapping chronology for checking. Thus there may be a half-year error for each king's reign from Hezekiah to Jehoiakim {5 kingships} for a total of 2 1/2 years in possible question. An additional note on the A.H. calendar. The A.H. calendar is believed to be a lunar/solar calendar which was adjusted to be kept in line with the solar year. For more information on this subject see the section: “How Long Was a Day In Genesis” atwww.TheWordNotes.com.

Additional Notes on chronology of the Old Testament:The time period from the promise given to Abraham until the Law was given was 430 years. {Galatians 3:16-17} But Genesis 15:13 implies {in English} that Abraham’s descendants would be enslaved for 400 years {four generations}. The Jews know that Gen. 15:13 does not mean Israel would be enslaved for 400 years and they correctly note in their teachings that the actual bondage was not 400 years but a couple of hundred years. {They don’t know the

Appendix A: World Time Line of Biblical History - 13 [Page 199]correct time period because they don’t accept the New Testament. Galations 3:17 tells us there were 430 years from the time the promise was given to Abraham until the law was given to Moses.} By subtraction we can determine that Joseph who died at the age of 110 – died 286 years after the covenant was given to Abraham. This means there was only 144 years from the death of Joseph until the Law was given to Moses who was 80 at the time. – Moses parents could well have known Joseph while he was still alive!!If Genesis 15:13 does not mean the Israelites would be in bondage for 400 years, what is the correct translation? The literal translation goes something like this: Your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs for four hundred years and will also be afflicted. --- Every Jew knows this is correct, but many Christians, especially Protestants get hung up on English translations which by the way they are worded imply 400 years of bondage. The KingJames version is one of the few versions that gives a correct translation, but it is often misunderstood by those who do not understand 16th century English grammar.If Paul was right about there being 430 years from the promise to the Law {Galatians 3:16-17}, where did the 400 year count begin? It began on Isaac’s 5th birthday! The promise was given to Abraham when he was 75. Isaac was born 25 years later {Gen. 21:5}. 400 subtracted from 430 leaves 30 years -- 30 years after

the promise was given, Isaac was 5 years old. {Note: Ishmael was never counted as a descendant of Abraham.} Why did the count begin when Isaac was 5 years old? - it is commonly believed that the Israelite women nursed their young until about the age of 5 during that time period [Abraham lived to 175 years of age (Gen. 25:7)] – this is commonly believed to be the reason why the 400 years is counted from Isaac's 5th birthday. Isaac was in a land that did not belong to him!! It became Israel’s land when Israel left Egypt. {Although they did not claim it for forty years!}The four hundred years is a literal time period, but is counted from Isaac’s 5th birthday, not from when Israel entered Egypt, nor when Israel became enslaved. There were literally four generations from Isaac to Moses {five counted in the actual ancestral line of Amram {Moses’ father}, four for Jochebed {Moses’ mother} (Ex. 6:16-20) and others.The Genesis passage also indicates that a generation is 100 literal years!Second note on Old Testament ChronologyDaniel 9:25-26 Tells us that from the issuing of the decree by Cyrus {as foretold by Isaiah 44:28} until the Messiah is "cut off" -- literally "executed" will be 69 - sevens – i.e. 483 years. This means that from the decree by Cyrus to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the crucifixion of Jesus was 483 years [If Jesus was 33 as we believe when he was crucified, this means the decree would actually be issued in the year 450 B.C. -- if the calendars were all correct. If you review my chronology I show the year 453 B.C. for the year of the decree because 1) historically there is no year zero B.C. and 2) the common belief is that Jesus was actually born in 4 B.C. rather than 1 A.D. I would not presume that the secular calendars are correct in either case, but I will stand by Daniel’s prophecy that 483 years would transpirefrom the decree by Cyrus to Jesus’ execution. There are seven years of unfulfilled prophecy concerning the nation of Israel and Daniel chapter nine gives the reason for those years. {The Revelation and other prophecies give details of those last seven years which are specificallydecreed upon the nation of Israel, NOT the church!} It is Daniel’s prophecy that allows us to link the secular calendar to the Biblical calendar, and that link is only as good as the accuracy

Appendix A: World Time Line of Biblical History - 14 [Page 200]of the secular calendar from the crucifixion of Jesus forward. I’m personally convinced that there are other errors we’re not aware of in the secular calendar and possibly some questions about a couple of passages mentioned in my "World Time Line Chart" that gives us a time of over 6000 years from the creation to this date. There are no reliable calendars in existence today, so we probably won’t know details until the Lord reveals them to us in His kingdom. It is interesting to note from my chronology that not only were the children of Israel in bondage for 70 years to the nation of the Babylonians, but the temple which was destroyed 19 years after the captivity began, was not completely rebuilt until 19 years after the captivity ended and thus the temple was non-existent for 70 years. Thus the 70

years foretold by Jeremiah 25:12 were doubly fulfilled. The A.D. [Anno Domini – year of the Lord] calendar was created by Dionysius Exiguus around 525 A.D. which originally set the birth of Jesus at 1 A.D.. Most modern chronologies are based on Archbishop Ussher's chronology which incorporates calculations by Claudis Ptolemy (90 A.D. - 168 A.D.) which has known errors on the reigns of Persian kings. Consequently they have an 83 year error dating the decree of Cyrus to restore and rebuild Jerusalem and ending the Babylonian exile. Due to the 83 year error most modern theologians try to claim that the decree to restore Jerusalem was actually issued by Ahasuerus later to force the traditional chronology to fit with the crucifixion of Jesus. However, Isaiah 44:28 makes it clear that Cyrus is the one who issued the decree. The chronology given here does not acknowledge secular chronologies, but relies 100% upon scripture with the three question marks given in the introduction.Reckoning Jacob's age: Jacob was 147 when he died, he had lived 17 years in Egypt [Gen 47:28] He came to Egypt in the 2nd year of the famine at the age of 130 [147-17] [Gen. 45:6] -- Joseph was 39 [30 + 7 +2] Jacob was 91 when Joseph was born [130 - 39] Jacob had been in the east 14 years when Joseph was born [Gen. 45:6; 47:28; 30:26; 31:41] Jacob was 77 when he fled from Esau [91 - 14]Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born [Gen 25:26]Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born [Gen. 21:15]Abraham was 175 when he died -- Jacob and Esau would have been 15 at the time.



Appendix BA Comparison of Gog's Invasion InEzekiel 38-39 and Revelation 20

In Ezekiel the invasion is in the last years {Ezek. 38:8}In the Revelation the invasion is after the millennium {Rev. 20:6}

In Ezekiel the invasion takes place on the mountains of Israel {Ezek. 38:8}In the Revelation the invasion is around Jerusalem {Rev. 20:9}

In Ezekiel the purpose of the invasion is to take spoil {Ezek. 38:8}In the Revelation the purpose is to overthrow Jesus {Rev. 20:9}

In Ezekiel there is a list of the Soviet allies who will come accompany Gog and a list of those who will not be involved. {Ezek. 38:13}In the Revelation all nations will be involved {Rev. 20:8}

In Ezekiel the invasion is followed by the new temple {Ezek. 40}In the Revelation the invasion is followed by the Great Judgment and the creation of the new heavens and new earth.

In Ezekiel it will take seven years to clean up the dead bodies and weapons of war {Ezek. 39:9}In the Revelation clean up isn't necessary because there will be a new heavens and new earth.

In Ezekiel the Lord will be made known to the nations {Ezek. 38:23}In the Revelation the Lord has already reigned upon the entire earth for 1000 years so everyone already knows Him.

Conclusion: the two invasions cannot possibly be the same invasion.

Appendix C : [G-2] The Jewish Calendar -- Old and New Calendars

After all of the work on the "Prophetic Calendar" I realized that the "Prophetic Calendar" does not coincide with any modern day calendar. I began to be curious as to how the prophetic dates of Daniel would fit with the Modern Jewish calendar. We must first realize that the Modern Jewish calendar is not the same calendar Daniel was familiar with since a number of revisions in the calendar have taken place through the years {Just as changes have been made in the Julian/Gregorian calendar since the days of Jesus}. Daniel could not have forseen the Modern Jewish calendar, and could not understand how the dates he was given might fit together on a calendar which would be in use about 2500 years in his future. However, the reference to the antichrist's desire to change "times" {calendars} {Dan. 7:25} in the future suggests that the antichrist will realize the importance of a calendar {in particular the Jewish calendar} in use during his lifetime and will deliberatly change the calendar to turn attention away from the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation.The following gives the setup of the Modern Jewish calendar:** Jewish Calendar - Modern ** MONTH 1 -- Tishri - 30 days {Sept/Oct} MONTH 2 -- Heshvan - 29 or 30 days {Oct/Nov} MONTH 3 -- Kislev - 30 or 29 days {Nov/Dec} MONTH 4 -- Tebeth - 29 days {Dec/Jan} MONTH 5 -- Shebat - 30 days {Jan/Feb} MONTH 6 -- Adar - 29 or 30 days {Feb/Mar} MONTH 7 -- Adar II (leap year only) - 29 days MONTH 8 -- Nisan - 30 days {Mar/Apr} MONTH 9 -- Iyar - 29 days {Apr/May} MONTH 10 -- Sivan - 30 days {May/June} MONTH 11 -- Tammuz - 29 days {June/July} MONTH 12 -- Ab - 30 days {July/Aug} MONTH 13 -- Ellul - 29 days {Aug/Sept}** Jewish Calendar - {The Lord's Calendar for the Jews} ** {As set in Exodus 12:2 and Leviticus 25} MONTH 1 -- Nisan {March/April} [Passover, Easter] MONTH 2 -- Iyar {April/May} MONTH 3 -- Sivan {May/June} [Pentecost {Feast of Weeks}] MONTH 4 -- Tammuz {June/July} MONTH 5 -- Ab {July/Aug.} MONTH 6 -- Ellul {Aug./Sep.} MONTH 7 -- Tishri {Sep./Oct.}[Rosh Hashanah, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement {Yom Kippur},Feast of Tabernacles] MONTH 8 -- Heshvan {Oct/Nov}MONTH 9 -- Kislev {Nov/Dec} MONTH 10 -- Tebeth {Dec/Jan} MONTH 11 -- Shebat {Jan/Feb} MONTH 12 -- Adar {Feb/Mar} MONTH 13 -- Adar II

Appendix C: The Jewish Calendar Page 1 [-204-]We call the bottom calendar the "Old" Jewish calendar. In reality, the "New" or "Modern" Jewish calendar at the top is supposedly the older calendar! The first month of the year supposedly originally began in September/October, but was changed by the Lord's command in Exodus 12:2 to the month of Nisan in March/April {the month of the Passover}. Modern Jews have reverted back to the old calendar and have also changed the Passover from the evening of the 14th of Nisan to the evening of the 15th. Many believe these changes were intended to draw attention away from the crucifixion of Jesus and His fulfillment of prophecy.While at chaplain school, a Jewish rabbi told me that the Jews are the only people who celebrate the new year {Rosh Hashanah} during the SEVENTH month rather than the FIRST month. I believe there are prophetic reasons why this is true! {Possibly because this is time of the year Armageddon will take place, and possibly the Rapture. I am not 100% sold on the idea that the rapture will be at Rosh Hashanah, but I do not have enough Biblical evidence to conclude that this is a wrong interpretation.}Rules for construction of the Modern Jewish calendar:{Note: The Jewish day begins at 6:00 p.m., not 12:00 a.m. as on the Gregorian calendar.}Tishri will always begin in September or October. Nisan will always begin in March or April. Tishri 1 must occur on the new moon {which must be calculated to the nearest minute based on Jerusalem time} with the following exceptions: ** When it occurs on a Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday, it is postponed to the following day. {This prevents modern Passover from occurring on a Wednesday. I believe this change was intentionally made after Jesus' lifetime. See note at bottom of article.} When the new moon occurs at noon or later Tishri is postponed to the next day (and to the following day if this would cause it to land on Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday). When it occurs on a common year succeeding a leap year, and after 9 a.m. it is postponed to the following day.Based on the above rules, Rosh Hashanah will actually not fall on the true new moon but will be postponed to the following day more than 60% of the time!The Jewish calendar follows the "Golden Cycle" based on the 19 year solar cycle. {The "Golden Cycle" is the number of years it take for the lunar months to re-align with the solar years -- 19 solar years equals approximately 235 lunar months -- 6939.689621913 days} The following years in the cycle are "leap" years: 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19th years. These years have thirteen months. The thirteenth month is call ADAR II on the Jewish calendar. Common years may have 353 days, 354 days, or 355 days. Leap years have 383 days, 384 days, or 385 days. To determine the length of the year, you must calculate when the next Rosh Hoshanah New Moon will occur, determine if Rosh Hoshanah must be postponed due to the above rules, and you must know whether it is a leap year or not. Then based on

these rules, the months of Heshvan, Kislev, and Adar are adjusted to fulfill the requirements as follows:Length of regular year:353 days -- 12 months, alternately having 30 and 29 days, except Kislev has 29 days instead of 30 days 354 days -- 12 months, alternately having 30 and 29 days 355 days -- 12 months, alternately having 30 and 29 days, except Heshvan, with 30

days instead of 29

Appendix C: The Jewish Calendar Page 2 [-205-]Length of leap year:383 days -- 12 months, alternately having 30 and 29 days, except Kislev has 29 days instead of 30 days, with 1 additional month, Adar I will have 30 days 384 days -- 12 months, alternately having 30 and 29 days, with 1 additional month,

Adar I will have 30 days 385 days -- 12 months, alternately having 30 and 29 days, except Heshvan with 30 days instead of 29 days, and one additional month, Adar I will have 30 daysRosh Hashanah, Tishri 1, 5757, {Sept. 14, 1996} is the beginning of the 19th year in the leap year cycle and is therefore a leap year. To determine whether a year is a leap year, divide the year by 19; the remainder is the year in the cycle. {The year 5757 divided by 19 yields 303 with a remainder of 0 which means it is the 19th year in the cycle.}The exact New Moon is computed from observatory data which yields 29.530588437 days from New Moon to New Moon. {29 days 12 hr 44 min 2.841 sec} The exact rules for calendar construction are given in Arthur Spier's book: The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar, Feldheim Publishers, 1981, New York and Jerusalem [ISBN# 0-87306-288-4].For anyone interested, I have written a computer program {available upon request} which will calculate the Jewish calendar months using the astronomical star date calendar for any year past, present, or future and will give the reference dates for certain holy days. This information is given for the years 1947 A.D. - 2100 A.D. on my website. See articles below.The Reference Date given with the calendar dates uses Friday, Iyar 5, 5708 C.E. {May 14, 1948} as reference date - 0 and computes all dates relative to this date. By doing this anyone can quickly determine the number of days between any two Jewish holy days by simple subtraction.The following three sections:Modern Jewish Calendar 1947 A.D. - 2100 A.D.

Appendix C: The Jewish Calendar Page 3 [-206-]

**The Jewish calendar calculations were privately made by the Sanhedrin during the time of the second temple. Those calculations were first made public by Hillel II during the fourth century A.D. due to fears the Jewish calendar information might be lost in the dispersion of the Jews {page 2 -The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar}. It is the opinion of this author that changes were made by the Sanhedrin following Jesus' death to draw attention away from the fact that the Passover, the First Fruits Offering, and Pentecost were fulfilled by Jesus THE Passover sacrifice as the Lamb without blemish:1) Biblical Passover according to Lev. 23:4-6 begins the evening of the 14th day of Nisan; modern Passover {Pesa} is on the 15th of the month2) Biblical Pentecost according to Lev. 23:15-16 is counted 50 days from the First Fruits Offering {Easter}; modern Pentecost {Shavouth} is counted 50 days from modern Passover {Pesa}.3) Biblical Passover does in fact occur regularly on a Wednesday {see Holy Days 1947 - 2100 }The above rule marked by “**” prevents that from occuring for modern Passover {Pesa}. See What Day was Jesus Crucified?.

While Jewish scholars would argue that the above are “interpretation” issues rather than changes to the modern Jewish calendar, it is my opinion that these changes were intentional changes made by the Sanhedrin after Jesus' death. Since the calendar calculations were secretly made by the Sanhedrin all the way up to the 4th century A.D. there is no way I can actually prove this to be true, nor is there any way for anyone to disprove this opinion.

Riplinger {www.avpublications.com} and Look What’s Missing by David Daniels {www.chick.com}.Note: These books cannot be purchased in most book stores, but must be purchased online at the websites given. {Too much money is at stake for most book stores to carry the books!}

Here I am comparing the KJV with the NIV, [simply because I personally used the NIV for many years] however, you can check any modern version (HCSB, NIV,CEV, ESV, NASB, NKJV, TLB, etc.) and the results will be the same because they are all based on the same corrupted Hebrew and Greek texts which were mutilated in the late 1800’s. Both Daniels and Riplinger have put verses in parallel, side-by-side, as I have done here to demonstrate literally hundreds of changes that have been made to our Bibles. I’ve been told, but have not personally verified that new publications of the King James Version are also being mutilated by some publishers. Riplinger in her book points out the individuals involved in many of the changes and how the changes reflect the new age movement and Satan's attempts to attribute God's attributes to himself.

It is because of these discoveries that I began my own King James Version/King James Paraphrase Parallel Bible which is available free of charge at: http://www.TheWordNotes.com

(36) And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? (37) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (38) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. (Acts 8:36-38 KJV)

(36) As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. Why shouldn’t I be baptized?”(37) And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.(Acts 8:36-38 NIV)

Note that in modern translations Acts 8:37 is missing altogetherLook at the above scriptures and notice what has been left out of the modern translations. Then ask yourself these questions:

1) Is Philip's answer to the Ethiopian eunuch important?

2) Is the eunuch's reply to Philip important?

3) Do you really believe the Bible is the inspired word of God?

4) Is it unacceptable to take words out of the Bible just because you don't

believe them?

If your answer to any of the above questions is: yes, you owe it to yourself, your loved ones, your friends, and your church to investigate what is happening to our Bibles. Bible teachers and ministers all over the world today are encouraging people to spend time reading their Bibles not realizing that the Bibles they may be reading may be leading them away from a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and towards a “universal” religion.

(12) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (Is. 14:12 KJV)

(12) How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” (Is. 14:12 NIV)

Notice that “morning star” is substituted for Lucifer, but Jesus is the “morning star” (Rev. 22:16) not Satan.

(54) And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did? (55) But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. (56) For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. (Luke 9:54-56 KJV)

(54) When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”(55) But Jesus turned and rebuked them,(56) and they went to another village.(Luke 9:54-56 NIV)

Notice that Jesus’ answer is omitted altogether!

(8) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan : for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Luke 4:8 KJV)

(8) Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.” (Luke 4:8 NIV)

Notice that part of Jesus’ words are omitted. Satan doesn’t want to draw attention to his opposition to Jesus.


(3) His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. (4) For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. (5) For neither did his brethren believe in him. (6) Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. (7) The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. (8) Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. (9) When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. (10) But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. (John 7:3-10 KJV)

(3) Jesus’ brothers said to him, “You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do,(4) No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”(5) For even his own brothers did not believe in him.(6) Therefore Jesus told them, “The right time for me has no yet come, for you anytime is right.(7) the world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil.(8) You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not come.”(9) Having said this, he stayed in Galilee.(10) However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly but in secret. (John 7:3-10 NIV)

Notice that in verse 8 Jesus said: “I go not up yet unto this feast.” – The most modern translations leave out the word “yet” implying that Jesus lied because in verse 10 it clearly says He went up to the feast. The NIV does put the word “yet” in the text, but footnotes: “Some early manuscripts do not have yet.”

(16) And the four and twenty elders,which sat before God on their seats, fellupon their faces, and worshiped God,(17) Saying, We give thee thanks, O

(16) And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,(17) saying: We give thanks to you

LordGod Almighty, which art, and wast, andart to come; because thou hast taken tothee thy great power, and hast reigned. (Rev. 11:16 KJV)

Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was. Because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. (Rev. 11:16-17 NIV)

Note that the phrase: “art to come” has been omitted in the modern translations – also note that this occurs also in Revelation 16:5

(1) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; (2) As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. (3) The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. (Mark 1:1-3 KJV)

(1) The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.(2) It is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way.”(3) “a voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ “ (Mark 1:1-3 NIV)

Note that modern translations insert the name “Isaiah” in verse 2 creating an “intentional” errorThe quote is actually from two verses Malachi 3:1 and Is. 40:3. Interestingly, the New King James version puts “Isaiah” as a footnote.Appendix J: Examples of Missing Words and Verses of Scripture Page

3 [-234-](2) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. (3) Give us day by day our daily bread. (4) And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil . (Luke 11:2-4 KJV)

(2) He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. (3) Give us each day our daily bread.(4) Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.” (Luke 11:2-4 NIV)

Notice what's missing!

(14) For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (15) Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (Eph. 3:14 KJV)

(14) For this reason I kneel before the Father,(15) from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. (Eph. 3:14 NIV)

Note: new versions consistently leave out references to the Lord Jesus. We know that “Father” in verse 14 is a reference to Jesus’ Father, but Satan wants to claim that name for himself.

(32) Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father;

(32) but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many great miracles from

for which of those works do ye stone me? (John 10:32 KJV)

the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” (John 10:32 NIV)

Modern translations consistently leave out references to “my” Father and change them to “the” Father.

(2) Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thes. 1:2 KJV)

(2) Grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thes. 1:2 NIV)

Modern translations consistently omit the fact that He is also “our” Father.

(9) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (11) Give us this day our daily bread. (12) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (13) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen . (Mat. 6:9-13 KJV)

(9) This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,(10) your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.(11) Give us today our daily bread.(12) Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.(13) And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. (Mat. 6:9-13 NIV)

Modern translations omit that the kingdom that is forever is God’s kingdom.


(44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Mat. 5:44 KJV)

(44) But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. (Mat. 5:44 NIV)

Notice what’s missing.

(13) But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (14) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. (15) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell

(13) Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you lot those enter who are trying to.(15) Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees; you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as your are.

than yourselves. (Mat. 23:13-15 KJV)

(Mat. 23:13-15 NIV)


(21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Peter 1:21 KJV)

(21) For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (II Peter 1:21 NIV)

Notice that “holy” is missing.

(39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (John 7:39 KJV)

(39) By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. (John 7:39 NIV)

Notice that “holy” is missing.

(38) But in his estate shall he honor the God of forcesn: and a god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. (Dan. 11:38 KJV)

(38) Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. (Dan. 11:38 NIV)

Notice the subtle change


(30) And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, (Acts 10:30 KJV)

(30) Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon, Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me. (Acts 10:30 NIV)

Notice that “fasting” is almost always, if not always omitted in the modern translations.

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. (Matt. 1:25 KJV)

(25) But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. (Matt. 1:25 NIV)

Notice that “firstborn” is omitted in the modern translations.

(11) And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. (John 17:11 KJV)

(11) I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you, Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name – the name you gave me – so that they may be one as we are one. (John 17:11 NIV)

Notice the meaning is completely changed.

(4) And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God . (Luke 4:4 KJV)

(4) Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘ Man does not live on bread alone’” (Luke 4:4 NIV)


(13) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (Col. 1:13-14 KJV)

(13) For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,(14) in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Col. 1:13-14 NIV)

Notice that “his blood” is almost always missing in modern translations.

(24) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. (Rev. 21:24 KJV)

(24) The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.(Rev. 21:24 NIV)



(6) This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

(6) This is the one who came by water and blood – Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the

(7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. (I John 5:6-8 KJV)

truth.(7) For there are three that testify(8) the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. (I John 5:6-8 NIV)

Notice what’s missing

(24) And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! (Mark 10:24 KJV)

(24) The disciples are amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!(Mark 10:24 NIV)

Notice that it hard for those trusting in riches, but the modern translations imply it is hard for everyone.

(18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, (Col. 2:18 KJV)

(18) Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.(Col. 2:18 NIV)

Notice the modern translations say the exact opposite!

(21) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.(Rev. 22:21 KJV)

(21) The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

Notice that “the” is substituted for “our”

(28) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. (Luke 1:28 KJV)

(28) The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” (Luke 1:28 NIV)


And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, (Mar 12:38 KJV)

If you have an old King James Version lying around somewhere – hold on to it, before many years, many of the scriptures may be unrecognizable!

The above ELS [Bible Codes] were chosen due to their short word lengths and small skip rates for illustration purposes. Codes with much larger skip rates and much longer words and phrases are found throughout not only the Hebrew Old Testament, but now discoveries are also being found in the Greek New Testament which could not be found easily without the aid of modern computers. Thousands of Bible Codes have now been discovered by a multitude of people using programs which are now available for purchase on the internet and various places. A short list of books on the subject is found in my article: Equidistant Letter Sequences [ELS] {Signature of God #2}. [Examples of ELS Bible Codes – page 4] [-242-]

(Isa 51:4) הקשיבו אלי עמי ולאומי אלי האזינו כי תורה מאתי תצא ומשפטי לאור עמים ארגיע׃

(Isa 51:5) קרוב צדקי יצא ישעי וזרעי עמים ישפטו אלי איים יקוו ואל־זרעי ייחלון׃

(Isa 51:6) שאו לשמים עיניכם והביטו אל־הארץ מתחת כי־שמים כעשן נמלחו והארץ כבגד תבלה וישביה כמו־כן ימותון וישועתי לעולם תהיה וצדקתי לא תחת׃

(Isa 51:7) שמעו אלי ידעי צדק עם תורתי בלבם אל־תיראו חרפת אנוש ומגדפתם אל־תחתו׃

(Isa 51:8) כי כבגד יאכלם עש וכצמר יאכלם סס וצדקתי לעולם תהיה וישועתי לדור דורים׃

(Isa 51:9) עורי עורי לבשי־עז זרוע יהוה עורי כימי קדם דרות עולמים הלוא את־היא המחצבת רהב מחוללת תנין׃

(Isa 51:10) הלוא את־היא המחרבת ים מי תהום רבה השמה מעמקי־ים דרך לעבר גאולים׃

(Isa 51:11) ופדויי יהוה ישובון ובאו ציון ברנה ושמחת עולם על־ראשם ששון ושמחה ישיגון נסו יגון ואנחה׃

(Isa 51:12) אנכי אנכי הוא מנחמכם מי־את ותיראי מאנוש ימות ומבן־אדם חציר ינתן׃

(Isa 51:13) ותשכח יהוה עשך נוטה שמים ויסד ארץ ותפחד תמיד כל־היום מפני חמת המציק כאשר כונן להשחית ואיה חמת המציק׃

(Isa 51:14) מהר צעה להפתח ולא־ימות לשחת ולא יחסר לחמו׃

(Isa 51:15) ואנכי יהוה אלהיך רגע הים ויהמו גליו יהוה צבאות שמו׃

(Isa 51:16) ואשים דברי בפיך ובצל ידי כסיתיך לנטע שמים וליסד ארץ ולאמר לציון עמי־אתה׃

(Isa 51:17) התעוררי התעוררי קומי ירושלם אשר שתית מיד יהוה את־כוס חמתו את־קבעת כוס התרעלה שתית מצית׃

(Isa 51:18) אין־מנהל לה מכל־בנים ילדה ואין מחזיק בידה מכל־בנים גדלה׃

(Isa 51:19) שתים הנה קראתיך מי ינוד לך השד והשבר והרעב והחרב מי אנחמך׃

(Isa 51:20) בניך עלפו שכבו בראש כל־חוצות כתוא מכמר המלאים חמת־יהוה גערת אלהיך׃

(Isa 51:21) לכן שמעי־נא זאת עניה ושכרת ולא מיין׃

(Isa 51:22) כה־אמר אדניך יהוה ואלהיך יריב עמו הנה לקחתי מידך את־כוס התרעלה את־קבעת כוס חמתי לא־תוסיפי לשתותה עוד׃

(Isa 51:23) ושמתיה ביד־מוגיך אשר־אמרו לנפשך שחי ונעברה ותשימי כארץ גוך וכחוץ לעברים׃

============(Isa 52:1) עורי עורי לבשי עזך ציון לבשי בגדי תפארתך ירושלם עיר הקדש כי לא

יוסיף יבא־בך עוד ערל וטמא׃

(Isa 52:2) התנערי מעפר קומי שבי ירושלם התפתחו מוסרי צוארך שביה בת־ציון׃

[-244-](Isa 52:3) כי־כה אמר יהוה חנם נמכרתם ולא בכסף תגאלו׃

(Isa 52:4) כי כה אמר אדני יהוה מצרים ירד־עמי בראשנה לגור שם ואשור באפס עשקו׃

(Isa 52:5) ועתה מה־לי־פה נאם־יהוה כי־לקח עמי חנם משלו יהילילו נאם־יהוה ותמיד כל־היום שמי מנאץ׃

(Isa 52:6) לכן ידע עמי שמי לכן ביום ההוא כי־אני־הוא המדבר הנני׃

(Isa 52:7) מה־נאוו על־ההרים רגלי מבשר משמיע שלום מבשר טוב משמיע ישועה אמר לציון מלך אלהיך׃

(Isa 52:8) קול צפיך נשאו קול יחדו ירננו כי עין בעין יראו בשוב יהוה ציון׃

(Isa 52:9) פצחו רננו יחדו חרבות ירושלם כי־נחם יהוה עמו גאל ירושלם׃

(Isa 52:10) חשף יהוה את־זרוע קדשו לעיני כל־הגוים וראו כל־אפסי־ארץ את ישועת אלהינו׃

(Isa 52:11) סורו סורו צאו משם טמא אל־תגעו צאו מתוכה הברו נשאי כלי יהוה׃

(Isa 52:12) כי לא בחפזון תצאו ובמנוסה לא תלכון כי־הלך לפניכם יהוה ומאספכם אלהי ישראל׃

(Isa 52:13) הנה ישכיל עבדי ירום ונשא וגבה מאד׃

(Isa 52:14) כאשר שממו עליך רבים כן־משחת מאיש מראהו ותארו מבני אדם׃

(Isa 52:15) כן יזה גוים רבים עליו יקפצו מלכים פיהם כי אשר לא־ספר להם ראו ואשר לא־שמעו התבוננו׃

============(Isa 53:1) מי האמין לשמעתנו וזרוע יהוה על־מי נגלתה׃

[-245-]

(Isa 53:2) ויעל כיונק לפניו וכשרש מארץ ציה לא־תאר לו ולא הדר ונראהו ולא־מראה ונחמדהו׃

(Isa 53:3) נבזה וחדל אישים איש מכאבות וידוע חלי וכמסתר פנים ממנו נבזה ולא חשבנהו׃

(Isa 53:4) אכן חלינו הוא נשא ומכאבינו סבלם ואנחנו חשבנהו נגוע מכה אלהים ומענה׃

(Isa 53:5) והוא מחלל מפשענו מדכא מעונתינו מוסר שלומנו עליו ובחברתו נרפא־לנו׃

(Isa 53:6) כלנו כצאן תעינו איש לדרכו פנינו ויהוה הפגיע בו את עון כלנו׃(Isa 53:7) נגש והוא נענה ולא יפתח־פיו כשה לטבח יובל וכרחל לפני גזזיה נאלמה ולא

יפתח פיו׃

(Isa 53:8) פשע עמימ ישוחח כי נגזר מארץ חיים ימעצר וממשפט לקח ואת־דורו מ נגע למו׃

(Isa 53:9) ׃ול לא־חמס עשה ולא מרמה בפיעעים קברו ואת־עשיר במתיו שויתן את־ר

(Isa 53:10) ך ימים וחפץיים אשם נפשו יראה זרע יארשויהוה חפץ דכאו החלי אם־ת יהוה בידו יצלח׃

(Isa 53:11) מעמל נפשו יראה ישבע בדעתו יצדיק צדיק עבדי לרבים ועונתם הוא יסבל׃

(Isa 53:12) לכן אחלק־לו ברבים ואת־עצומים יחלק שלל תחת אשר הערה למות נפשו ואת־פשעים נמנה והוא חטא־רבים נשא ולפשעים יפגיע׃

============(Isa 54:1) רני עקרה לא ילדה פצחי רנה וצהלי לא־חלה כי־רבים בני־שוממה מבני

בעולה אמר יהוה׃

(Isa 54:2) הרחיבי מקום אהלך ויריעות משכנותיך יטו אל־תחשכי האריכי מיתריך ויתדתיך חזקי׃

(Isa 54:3) כי־ימין ושמאול תפרצי וזרעך גוים יירש וערים נשמות יושיבו׃

[-246-]

(Isa 54:4) אל־תיראי כי־לא תבושי ואל־תכלמי כי לא תחפירי כי בשת עלומיך תשכחי וחרפת אלמנותיך לא תזכרי־עוד׃

(Isa 54:5) כי בעליך עשיך יהוה צבאות שמו וגאלך קדוש ישראל אלהי כל־הארץ יקרא׃

(Isa 54:6) כי־כאשה עזובה ועצובת רוח קראך יהוה ואשת נעורים כי תמאס אמר אלהיך׃

(Isa 54:7) ברגע קטן עזבתיך וברחמים גדלים אקבצך׃

(Isa 54:8) בשצף קצף הסתרתי פני רגע ממך ובחסד עולם רחמתיך אמר גאלך יהוה׃

(Isa 54:9) כי־מי נח זאת לי אשר נשבעתי מעבר מי־נח עוד על־הארץ כן נשבעתי מקצף עליך ומגער־בך׃

(Isa 54:10) כי ההרים ימושו והגבעות תמוטנה וחסדי מאתך לא־ימוש וברית שלומי לא תמוט אמר מרחמך יהוה׃

(Isa 54:11) עניה סערה לא נחמה הנה אנכי מרביץ בפוך אבניך ויסדתיך בספירים׃

(Isa 54:12) ושמתי כדכד שמשתיך ושעריך לאבני אקדח וכל־גבולך לאבני־חפץ׃

(Isa 54:13) וכל־בניך למודי יהוה ורב שלום בניך׃

(Isa 54:14) בצדקה תכונני רחקי מעשק כי־לא תיראי וממחתה כי לא־תקרב אליך׃

(Isa 54:15) הן גור יגור אפס מאותי מי־גר אתך עליך יפול׃

(Isa 54:16) הן אנכי בראתי חרש נפח באש פחם ומוציא כלי למעשהו ואנכי בראתי משחית לחבל׃

(Isa 54:17) כל־כלי יוצר עליך לא יצלח וכל־לשון תקום־אתך למשפט תרשיעי זאת נחלת עבדי יהוה וצדקתם מאתי נאם־יהוה׃
