The four books of the Gospel are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They were divinely arranged in that order, were divinely given their names, are divinely represented in heaven, and divinely reveal the truth of JESUS. On earth the four agree in one: the Lord Jesus Christ; and in heaven the four are one: around the throne. There are four books of the Law in the Old Testament, and they are Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. They are the beginning of the establishment of the old covenant and its commandments and promises. The four about Jesus the Christ are the beginning of the establishment of the new covenant and its commandments and promises.
In the new, it is Jesus alone who is the Lamb for atonement, for Passover, for daily offerings, and for required sacrifices, and is our Moses, our Aaron, our Joshua, our pillar of cloud, our pillar of fire, and our Ark of the Covenant. In both cases there was the need for blood to confirm the perpetual covenant, and commandments to stipulate its terms. What God gets from the old covenant is a nation, and that nation becomes royal in the world, while in the new, what God gets is his own children, and those children are to inherit the coming kingdom of God. The old was of the flesh and blessings for obedience to laws, and the new is of the Spirit and grace by faith in the gospel.
In the New Testament Jesus is the Word of God, so much that the completeness of the message is in him, and the totality of the doctrine is about him. It is him who teaches the teachers to teach about him. It is him who reveals himself to his apostles that they may do his will. It is him who unveils truth to his prophets that they may expose spiritual happenings. It is him who gives his heart to his evangelists to yearn for the souls that he wants saved. And it is him who shepherds his shepherds to be shepherds to his dear sheep. There is only one Word: Jesus. There is only one name: Jesus. All that is taught in the letters, all acts in the book of Acts, and all revelation of the book of Revelation, are based on the Gospel books.
There are twelve apostles of Christ the Saviour, and twelve patriarchs of Israel. Of the four books of the Law, Exodus means: the escape; Leviticus means: the reconciliation; Numbers means: the gathering; and Deuteronomy means: the repeated instruction. That is exactly how the Gospel goes. A soul escapes from sin and hell, is reconciled to the heavenly Father, is numbered among those who gather in Christ, and learns the instructions again and again. Another similarity between the two is the three-phase journey, which is encapsulated in the three days of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. First the Israelites get out of Egypt through the Passover and the Red Sea, second they spend all their journey with the heavenly tabernacle of meeting in the wilderness of sin where they are to have faith in the mighty God of spiritual power and heaven-sent commandments, and thirdly they have hope of entry into the promised land of rest after the journey of battles and victories.
That matches the three days for us, of Jesus’ passion, in that, in the cross we cross from death to life, in his burial our bodily sinfulness is buried from worldliness so that our spirits in the Holy Spirit may have power against the kingdom of hell, and in his rising with the everlasting body into his Father’s kingdom our souls have the assurance that we will rise on the last day. There were three main feasts in the books of the Law, and there are three that are compatible with them in Gospel Grace. The feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover), which is the same as the week of our salvation when our Saviour was crucified, the Feast of Weeks (First-fruits on the 50th day after Passover, after seven weeks), which is the same as the first baptism in the Holy Ghost on Pentecost [50], and the year-end Feast of Tabernacles (Trumpets), is to come at the end when the trumpet shall sound and we shall dwell in new bodies forever. Amen!
In Exodus we see how God delivered Israel out of the kingdom of bondage into his kingdom of righteousness; likewise in Matthew we hear the Gospel of the kingdom of God. In Leviticus we see how God wanted Israel to be made holy enough to serve him and have him abide with them; likewise in Mark we hear the Gospel of getting reunited with God. In Numbers we see how God organized Israel to fight in his name and walk with him through the wilderness as they encountered various nations and periods; likewise in Luke we hear the Gospel that encompasses every facet of human life and fits into every era of the world. In Deuteronomy we see how God recounts what made Israel his special people to whom at the end of their long journey he explains his will in fine detail and simplicity; likewise in John we hear the Gospel of knowing why we believe and must be confident in what is from the beginning, at the end.
The name Matthew is translated: ‘Gift of God’; Mark is translated: ‘Gentle’; Luke is translated: ‘Light’; and John is translated: ‘Favoured of God’. Jesus is the gift of God, the gentle Lamb, the light of life, and the favour of God, all for us all. Why four Gospel books? Firstly, because we can’t have one witness on such a great matter as salvation and the truth about the Son of God becoming a Son of man, as it written, “That in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established,” (Matt18:16). Secondly, because every accurate 3D view is from all four sides, perspectives, directions, vantage points, as it is with God in heaven, for it is written, “And round about the throne, were four beasts, full of eyes before and behind,” (Rev4:6). Why aren’t the Gospel books perfectly identical? Even a true story has many sides, which must be put together for adequate comprehension. And there will always be people who are more comfortable and more convinced by one of the ways of telling the true story.
Certain details are necessary to certain people. Particular ways of telling the one story interest particular people. You have not lived in every area of the world, neither have you been travelling with the Gospel since the time it began to be preached, and therefore you don’t know what it took, from the same story, to persuade some of the unique people. Anyway, if all the Gospel writing was perfectly identical, would you not suspect that they merely reproduced one person’s story? Moreover, if the very minute, easy to forget, seemingly insignificant, details of the account were all the same, would you accept that the reporters were untrained eyewitnesses only interested in jotting down the gist of the Master Teacher and Miracle Worker’s actual messages of light, and the testimonies about the healed?
Why did these people bother to take the pains to precisely recall and faithfully pass on the truths they knew personally about Jesus? Why am I also writing them according to my understanding, and through the inspiration of the Spirit of God? Why am I not the first after them to testify that the witnesses were telling the truth? And why were they not the last to write and speak about the good news of Jesus? Why are there so many who do it? In other words, Jesus and his Gospel are so absolutely true and effective to the sincere soul, that it just had to become the most read record of history ever, the bible being the best selling book ever, and writings and songs about Jesus having been more numerous than those not about him combined. The simple fact is: truth must be told!
ONE IN FOUR, IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH
Rev4:7, “And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.” Matt1:1, “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.” Mark1:24, “Saying, let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.” Luke3:38, “Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.” John3:31, “He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.”
Matthew reveals the lion, because as soon as the book opens he tells that Jesus is the Son of David, who was the king of Judah, which is the lion tribe of Israel, according to the blessing prophecies of Jacob. Mark reveals the calf, because very early in his book he tells of demons ascribing to Jesus the title of Holy One of God, which alludes to how Jesus is the holiest man to God, for being sacrificed for man’s liberation. Luke reveals the man, because he stretches the genealogy of Jesus all the way back, past Jews where Matthew focuses, to Adam, who is the originator of our kind and it’s defect, thus showing that Jesus will restore man’s son-ship to God, being another Adam, from the Jews, yet for all mankind. John reveals the flying eagle, because according to him the wonder in Jesus is that he is from above, like an eagle on high, and that Jesus is not of the earth, for he is a flying eagle far above all who are on earth. Amen.
Matt4:17, “From that time Jesus began to preach and say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Mark1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye and believe the gospel.” Luke4:18, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” John 1:38-39, “Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said unto them, what seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? And he saith unto them. Come and see…” All the abovementioned verses contain the first words spoken by Jesus to humanity, according to each writer’s target audience, and focal point concerning why it is vital to believe in Jesus.
For Matthew what stands out in the earliest recorded words of the Lord is that, in addition to him primarily stressing the hearer’s need for repentance, the Lord also invites people to enter the kingdom of heaven, which comes both through the Holy Ghost in the soul of the convert, and through the life-long disciple’s earthly life’s end, at which instant the soul enters heaven, if the Lord doesn’t return earlier. For Mark what is significant is that the Lord’s gospel has to be believed; that is because the book of Mark is an evangelist’s gospel message: concise and preached with power to those not used to long sermons. For Luke what is special about the words the Lord spoke first is that he presented himself as the one for everybody everywhere, to satisfy the desperate soul and to free the life that is oppressed. For John it’s all a matter of seeking truth and finding it in the Lord, who is inviting the traveler to rest.
So John is concerned about truth in grace, Luke about relevance to worldwide peoples, Mark about faith in the power and blood of the Lamb, and Matthew about the King that is Jesus, his commands, his glory and his kingdom. History, science and Scripture, all bear witness to the authenticity of these named authors, that they lived, they wrote before 100A.D., Mark written soon after Jesus and John the last. In theological terms the first three Gospels in the bible are called the synoptic gospels, which refers to them basically sharing the same view of Jesus, generally making use of the same events and preferring similar statements that Jesus made, though occasionally differing on arrangement and emphasis. John is distinguished from the three, sounding more like he is providing explanations and seeking to expound on the eternal nature and work of Jesus. Consider that he wrote it close to when he wrote Revelation. The next question to answer is who the writers were.
Matt10:3, “…Phillip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus…” Matt9:9, “And Jesus passed forth from thence, and saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the seat of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.” The first verse numbers Matthew among the twelve apostles of Jesus. If there was anyone who could write an authorized biography of Jesus it was one of his twelve apostles. They lived more closely with him that anyone else. They saw what he did and they understood what he meant. Jesus was not ever going to write down what was dictated to him by an angel, because as the only begotten son of God there is no question as to if he is much greater than them and same as the Father. Moses had to write down what God commanded him, like it is reported that Mohammed of Islam supposedly had the angel Gabriel dictate instructions to him. But Jesus, as God speaking to the twelve tribes of Israel, spoke the words, and the twelve apostles wrote for the church’s instruction. The second verse distinguishes Matthew as the publican who was called by Jesus from the seat of custom.
Mark14:51, “And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him.” 1Peter5:13, “The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Mark my son.” The first verse mentions something that is unique to Mark’s Gospel, and it can be logically deduced that Mark was talking about himself. How can that be? Well, like we show that Matthew did, isn’t he supposed to supply evidence authenticating his authorship as one who “followed” Jesus, too? According to Scripture and history John Mark of the book of Acts was the son of Acts’ Barnabbas’ sister, whose house it probably was where the disciples and their Lord had the Last Supper. So it should not be a big surprise that on the night when Jesus is apprehended after the supper at his home, young Mark followed closely in his night gown, and when the young men saw that he was a follower of Jesus they tried to catch him, like the little girl who identified Peter as a disciple. The second verse helps us realize how closely Mark and Peter must have worked in later ministry, as tradition holds that Mark was the ever-present recorder of the gospel according to ‘evangelist’ Peter.
Luke1:2, “Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word.” 2Tim4:11, “Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.” In the first verse Luke, who was a medical doctor and the first church historian, having been born a Greek, and not of Israel, is saying that what he is writing as the Gospel of the life of Jesus in the world, is absolutely reliable because it came from reliable sources, who were eyewitnesses and became preachers; this most likely being a reference to Peter, the inspiration for the book of Mark, who told the story as “Peter” told it, and was more or less imitated by Matthew and Luke. The second verse employs the words of Paul the apostle, who though having not lived with Jesus on earth, yet lived with him in the heavenly Spirit more than anyone else; who when he was miraculously converted by the risen Christ, frequented Jerusalem to verify with Peter the genuineness of his gospel, and had Luke as his constant companion and recorder, hence Luke’s Acts’ elaboration on Paul’s deeds. Luke thoroughly researched the truth of Jesus and found it perfectly agreeable with Paul’s ministry.
John13:23, “Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.” 1John1:2, “For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.” The first verse identifies the author of the book as that disciple “whom Jesus loved”. He does not write those words out of pride at all, but sincerely in worship to Jesus his Lord who has loved him. For a variety of reasons he could be speaking in testimony to all that he is a man greatly loved, and not because he is any better than them. Well, the Spirit made him write it, and continued to keep all scribes and translators writing it. Why? For one, he was the receiver and writer of Revelation, which is a continuation of what was started in Daniel, who is also called a man “greatly beloved”, which means that one way in which the two were so loved is that they were made to know personally the true glory and eternal purpose of the living God. Another factor which makes them so loved is that it is recorded that they both miraculously defied certain death. Well, if someone loves you so very much, he will do for you what the second verse says. Hence John’s Gospel.
WHY THE WROTE WHAT THEY DID
All the four Gospels are in consent about several facts about Christ, even though they may differ, according to each one’s message’s focus, on things like where to begin the Gospel, what to concentrate on in the middle and how to conclude the book, as directed by the Holy Ghost. You find Mark not even giving space to writing on the birth of Jesus and his lineage, while in the middle, which is the bulk of his gospel, he concentrates on miracles and Aramaic words as spoken by Jesus, which is all done with the speed and authoritativeness of evangelism as would have been done by Peter, whose goal was to present a real Jesus. You find Luke giving the best background on the coming of Jesus into the world, then in the middle, which is the work of Christ, he concentrates on the parables, addressing human life. You find Matthew emphasizing, from the onset, that Jesus is a rightful King of the kingdom of God, and in the middle, which is the word of Christ, he highlights the kingdom’s commands. And you find John beginning from before time commenced, when it comes to who Jesus is and where he is from, spending all his space in the middle to stress that Christ is from heaven, and that he is only spiritually known.
All the four Gospels are in consent especially about the notable occurrence and divine reason of the crucifixion of Jesus and his foretold resurrection on the third day. This is the climax of the Gospel, the place that Peter, who is the first hand witness of all that Jesus did, John being the first hand witness of what Jesus said, for John was always by his side, but Peter always watched intently in order to imitate, and it is to the crucifixion and resurrection that Peter’s preaching of the Gospel was rushing, as is evident in that Mark repeatedly writes “and”, signifying speed, and regularly writes “suddenly/immediately”, thereby emphasizing purpose and power. Jesus had the multitudes as an evangelist with his audience, the 70 as a pastor with his church, the twelve as a teacher with his disciples, the three (Peter to be the first apostle evangelist/James to be the first apostle martyr/John the last apostle alive) as a prophet with his apostles, and “Peter” as an apostle with his successor. About the crucifixion, in Matthew the chapter is 27, in Mark it is 15, in Luke it is 23, and in John it is 19. For there is no gospel without the cross for forgiveness, and no eternal life without the resurrection. Follow suit.
Matt28:19, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Mark16:17, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.” Luke24:47, “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” John21:22, “Jesus says unto him, if I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.” When it comes to the last words of the Lord in the four Gospels’ conclusions, I use the verses I have quoted hereby to highlight each writers focus. Matthew is interested in the teaching of all nations and baptizing them in the three-fold holy name, which is something that has just so happened throughout history, wherever missionaries have converted whole national religious orientations. Mark, true to the evangelistic heart of Peter, is particularly interested in the availability of the power of Jesus to all.
Luke is more interested in the Gospel being preached for the conviction and conversion of sinners in every place in the world, for Jew and for Gentile, from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, with Christianity taking over from Judaism, as seen in his last verse, where he says it was the Christians who were in the temple. John, ever the mystical and mysterious of the four, perceiving Christ’s prophetic and everlasting work, chooses to draw interest to the statement by Jesus concerning the futures of the names of Peter and John. Wondrously enough, it so happened in church history that for about a thousand years of the Roman Catholic era of the Middle Ages, the name of Peter was major as the foremost apostles. Even more wonderfully implemented by God alone is the historical fact that, to bring to an end the domination of the Roman Church, Protestant men, many of whom had the name John, where outstanding in ushering in times of the love of Jesus back into the earth. Examples are: John Wycliffe, Jan Huss, John Calvin, John Knox, John Wesley, John Bunyan, John Newton, John Milton, etc.
Matt4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.” Matt4:21, “And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.” Concerning the Roman Catholic Church and its popes at the Vatican, I have already said their belief is to regard Peter to be the first pope, the popes to be like Peter, and the Vatican to be the resting place of the body of Peter, basing the large part of that shaky belief upon Matt16:18, where Jesus says that he himself is the Rock on which the church would be built, a statement that Catholics misinterpret to mean Peter is their rock. They are clearly wrong hermeneutics-wise, and are exposed by John1:41, which says Peter means Cephas which is interpreted as “a stone”, and by Luke6:48, which says that one must build his house on “a rock”, and that rock is certainly not Peter, but in 1Peter2:5, Peter himself says that the spiritual house of Jesus is built of “living stones”. On top of that they used Matt16:19 to authorize their popes to make and change spiritual laws.
Before I go any further let me hereby briefly explain, if you can receive it, that the Almighty God and Father in heaven, will, does, and has done many things in the world through many people and institutions that were not even Christ-like, according to his own highest thoughts; but when it comes to the Son, the one purpose of the Son as Lord is mainly to save souls. His Father judges peoples, he saves them. So whatever the Father has decided will take place cannot but be so, as it is with the names of the first four apostle, their relation to each other and the significance of their names in the history of the world. The name of Peter is inseparable from what is assumed to be the beginning of the Catholic Church. In the same way I will now show that the name Andrew ‘Henry’ is fundamental to the founding of the first protestant state, turned empire, then founder of the USA social empire; which is: England. Now all Europe used to be subject to the supremacy of the popes, themselves being as high priests and king-makers or breakers, from their state that is the Vatican; and that was only until the 1400s when Henry VII of England rebelled, making the UK independent, then an empire over a quarter of the world.
I will now briefly point out some vital scriptural symbolism to make this more plain. The sea, seen here pertaining to Peter and Andrew, symbolizes, in cases like this, many nations, while a ship, which pertains to James and John, in cases like this, symbolizes the church. Hence we figure out that as Peter and Andrew represent evangelism, when that is viewed in connection with the Vatican and Britain as states over other nations, then the sort of evangelism was that of just gathering large multitudes to Christianity without deeply converting them or thoroughly teaching them; for states are like that: dominion-seekers. But when it comes to the ministry with the names of James and John, as can be seen by the brothers mending nets, the work is done by true believers in united congregations, correcting doctrinal wrongs and evangelizing with strong nets of thorough teaching, by so doing, fully converting the soul-convicted. Concerning John’s name I have already listed several men with the name, and it is noteworthy that during the era of such men, which we are still in, the major bible for doctrine has been the King James Version of 1611, from England, which became the most treasured document of that protestant nation.
It was divinely predetermined that after the age of Peter should follow the age of John, which, true to the words of Jesus, will last until he comes again. As is evident in church history, the first famous and culture-impacting Johns were spiritual. With the passing of time, particularly perceivable in the 20th century, major Johns have been the non-spiritual as well. There was Australian-born Dowie in the 19th century, who was the man of God who restored the apostolic ministry with healings and miracles, who inspired American-born Lake, who made Spokane to be medically declared the healthiest city in America because of the healings. There was Rockefeller, the oil business man who became the far wealthiest man in USA, like there was in Southern Africa, Rhodes, the diamonds and gold business man who was SA prime minister and had two nations named after him. President Kennedy initiated the mission for USA to land man on the moon. Pope John Paul II apologized for many evils of Catholic Church’s history. Pastor Hagee was instrumental in settling Jews back in Israel, particularly the Ethiopian. And Pastor Maxwell is leader in leadership instruction. Everyone of them is named John. It can’t be coincidental.
WRITTEN WITH FORESIGHT
Matt17:1, “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart.” Acts12:2, “And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.” Gal1:19, “But other of the apostles saw I none, save James, the Lord’s brother.” James1:1, “James, a servant of the God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.” Rev12:1, “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” John19:26, “When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!” Acts9:11, “And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for behold he prayeth.”
The first matter I bring up concerning the above-quoted verses, addressed in their order, is that James the brother of John was part of the three that Jesus used to reveal himself most vividly to, presumably because he had a greater purpose for each of them. The second is that, for one, James might have been undergoing intensive preparation to be readily willing to die so early for the Jesus whom he knew so well, another reason perhaps being that he would thus make him too a great name in the latter days of history, as seen in that when the time came for the name of John to come into the world scene, it is still accompanied by that of James, his brother, in the form of the King James bible, from which reliable contemporary versions are developed too. The third is that for the most part of the early decades of the church, there were always twelve Christ-chosen and sent-out apostles in the world, James the Lord’s brother replacing James who died. The fourth is that the James of Jesus’ family became the bishop of Jerusalem, which was the spiritual headquarters of the global church, instead of Rome and its popes. The fifth is that the church has become the spiritual twelve tribes of Israel to God, in King Jesus Christ.
The sixth is that James the Lord’s brother and James the brother of John can be considered interchangeable in work and belonging, because in the same way that it can be said that the Authorized Version commemorates James of John it can as easily be perceived to commemorate James of Jesus in that the verse in Revelation pertaining to its coming is associated with Israel’s twelve tribes that James wrote to, also because this James the writer becomes a brother to John in that Jesus on the cross comforted his mother by giving John to her in his place thereby making James the Lord’s half brother from thereon John’s adopted brother. The seventh is that, like I said that Jesus made his own half brother to replace John’s brother as one of the twelve, likewise Jesus chose Paul to replace Judas as the last of the twelve, as Judas was always listed as, for we read that Paul after being converted by the Lord’s appearing was praying In the house of someone called Judas, so that he thus takes his office – Acts1:20 – so completing the number of apostle called by the Lord himself to twelve. I am suggesting this because I think it is undoubtedly unsatisfactory to have a substitute for Judas randomly selected.
About Judas, my personal belief stands in contrast to what every one seems to have believed from old time about the final destination of his soul. Before I elaborate on that line of thought, I just want to state that it is high time that the children of God and their men of God, learn that we will never all believe or practice the exact same things, when it comes to the finer doctrinal details and issues of minor spiritual consequence, and so we really need to quit hating each other and getting angry at each other over small things that do not even determine if you go to heaven or not, and do not disqualify you from the blood. It is justifiable, correct and important to get angry and defensive when it comes to coming up against outright heresies, carnal abominations, and blasphemy against the holy God, his clean Spirit, and his redeeming Son, because there are some who behave in a manner contrary to the truth, refusing to be judged by hiding behind saying the rebuker is not loving, while they themselves fail to love the Lord first, who says we aught to love him more than man, because if we love him in truth our love for man will have truth. Be concerned with why Judas fell instead of where he is. You read why, you don’t see where.
You see, the one living God and heavenly Father of us all, is love, is gracious, is just, is good and is merciful. But to avoid reasoning Scripture along the lines of my emotions and sentiments, let’s put line upon line and precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, rightly dividing the word of truth, and not being novices who are proud and mind earthly things, whose god is their belly, and do not fear God. Matt27:3-5, “Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.” 1Peter3:19, “By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison.” These two portions of Scripture guide us with two simple facts. Firstly, Judas repented, confessed his sins, turned from his wicked ways and intensely felt like a prodigal son on earth before God, and because there was not yet salvation, he committed suicide. Secondly, when Jesus preached to hell’s prisoner spirits, Judas knew best as to accept the grace in Jesus.
Getting to the issue of the Authorized Version being the one bible version acknowledged by Scripture, in accordance with history and the dedication letter of the bible from the born-again translators to their king, let’s turn to that Rev12:1,5,14,15, “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars… and she brought forth man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne… And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished… And the serpent cast out his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.”
In another place at another time I will use the letter that is the foreword of the old King James bibles, and it will be then that I will discuss the full letter and this chapter of Revelation in full, which includes activities of wealthy Illuminati Jews in the UK and the battle of Christianity with the Roman Catholic Church, whose Jesuits attempted to distort and destroy the bible from its inception but failed dismally. More than any other subject, this chapter of revelation pertains to Evangelicalism from UK to USA. Verse 1 is about Queen Elizabeth 1, who is simultaneously likened to the church, a woman that is heavenly. The stars are the world-wide Christianity, which is a nation of Jesus Christ, where it is true. The sun as referred to in the letter points to King James 1, the successor of Elizabeth, who in the letter is said to be an Occidental/Western Star, alluding to sunset, which explains why she stands on the moon. The direction of sunset also points to the Evangelicals migrating to become USA, a new land, the wilderness, across the violent seas, the flooding water. As the Gospels creatures in heaven refer to books, the eagle that feeds the woman is the Authorized Version. James’ iron rod symbolizes Britain’s Industrialization.
