God’s Pure Word

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” (Psalm 12:6-7)

“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” (Proverb 30:5-6)

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:9-10)

“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” (Revelation 1:3)

“I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth: for Thou hast magnified Thy Word above all Thy Name.” (Psalm 138:2)

“Thy Word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.” (Psalm 119:140)

JFK, Secret Societies & Executive Order 11110

President John F. Kennedy’s Secret Society Speech was delivered at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City on April 27, 1961.

Two years later on June 4, 1963, President Kennedy made a little known Presidential decree; Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to strip the privately owned Federal Reserve of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. By signing this Executive Order, it returned to the Treasury Department the Constitutional power to create and issue currency without going through the Federal Reserve Bank.

With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business, but less than 6 months later on November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated.

The silver backed United States Notes he had issued were then immediately taken out of circulation and the Federal Reserve Bank continued to rob American taxpayers. The fiat Federal Reserve Notes continued to as the legal currency of the nation.

President John F. Kennedy’s Executive Order 11110 would have prevented the national debt from reaching its current astronomical level (virtually all of which has been created since 1963) if it had of been enforced by President Lyndon Johnson or other presidents after him. It would have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged interest to create new fiat money.

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

INTRODUCTION

There are two prerequisites to understanding the Revelation of Jesus Christ: 1) salvation (John 3:6-7, 4:24, 6:63, 16:13) and 2) yieldedness to the leading of the Holy Spirit (James 1:5-7, 1:22-25). Always begin your Bible study with prayer asking God to forgive your sins and open the Scriptures to your mind and spirit. God has not mocked His people by giving them a book that is impossible to understand (John 14:26, 15:26; Luke 24:44-45). “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Corinthians 2:14, cf. 2:10-12)

There are more Old Testaments quotations and allusions in the Book of Revelation than any other New Testament book (at least 358 from 24 of the 39 books of the Old Testament). Many of the teachings of other New Testament books are referred to in the Revelation. Bibles with Scripture references in the margin or in columns can be of help. If you do not have a working knowledge of the whole Bible now, with God’s grace you will have when we get to Revelation chapter twenty-two (John 5:39; Acts 17:11).

Revelation has been misinterpreted, misunderstood, perverted and spiritualized perhaps more than any other book of the Bible. Granted there are some difficult passages that are hard to understand. However, it the regenerated person will use some basic laws of Bible interpretation he can understand it. Keep these things in mind as you study the Revelation of Jesus Christ:

1. Always keep the context of the passage in mind (both the immediate context and that of the whole Bible).

2. Heed what is says in the very first verse of Revelation: It is “signified,” that is to say it is given with signs and symbols.

3. Most importantly, Scripture interprets Scripture. In other words, other places in the Book of Revelation or in the Bible will explain the meaning of the text and symbols. Do not make up your own meanings for the signs, but find out how God defines them elsewhere in the Bible.

4. When the text makes plain sense then that is what it means.

By following these simple rules we can understand what God has recorded for us in this Book.

There are several different views concerning the interpretation of the book of Revelation. The main ones are:

1. Amillennial Preterism: According to this view Revelation was written and fulfilled prior to 70 AD. It also teaches that Revelation was written to comfort Christians who were being persecuted by unbelieving Jews and the Roman Empire. This view has the Church usurping Israel’s place in Biblical prophecy. Preterism falsely claims that the church has been reigning on earth in the kingdom since Pentecost, and that the world will become progressively Christianized and will get better and better.

2. Amillennial Idealism: The book contains mostly figurative symbolism and metaphors about the spiritual battle between good and evil. There will be no literal future physical fulfillment of the judgments in Revelation. It too teaches that the Church replaces Israel and inherits the promises the promises given to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

3. Amillennial Historical: The events in Revelation unfold through history – the papal system fulfills the role of the Antichrist. The Church inherits all promises given to Israel.the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

4. Premillennial Dispensationalism: This view holds that most of the prophecies in Revelation are yet future. The Lord Jesus Christ will literally come again to judge this world and then set up His kingdom on earth. He will rule the world from Jerusalem for a thousand years. All the events, places and individuals of Revelation are literal, but sometimes identified symbolically. The establishment of His 1000 year Kingdom will fulfill all promises given to the Nation of Israel who are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There are three main sub-divisions in Dispensationalism:

a. Pre-Wrath removal of believers: The primary confusion of this theory is its failure to separate Church Age believers from National Israel.

b. Post-Tribulation removal of the Church: The Judgments in Revelation are literal events on earth but the Church will go through this time of trouble. As with the Pre-Wrath theory the primary error of this theory is its failure to separate the believers of this Age from Israel.

c. Partial Pre-Tribulation removal of the Church: This theory holds that only believers who live holy lives in this Age of Grace w3. It take 1 Corinthians 15:51 literally where it says, “we shall all be changed”ill be raptured.

d. Pre-Tribulation Rapture of ALL Church Age believers: The true Church will be removed at the rapture prior to the judgments described in Revelation but many will find salvation afterward during the time known as the tribulation on the earth. This is the correct view for these Scriptural reasons:

1. It separates the Nation of Israel from the church.
2. It recognizes believers are chastened during this Dispensation of Grace for sins, and that there will be rewards and shame at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
3. It agrees with Scriptures that teach that the Tribulation is God’s wrath upon the unbelieving world, and that “God hath not appointed us to wrath” (1 Thess 5:9).
4. It take 1 Corinthians 15:51 literally where it says, speaking of the Rapture, that “we shall ALL be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.”

All Scriptures quoted will be form the King James Bible (KJV).  New versions such as the New International Version (NIV) and New American Standard Bible (NAS) are corrupt because they come corrupted manuscripts (MSS).  The KJV is the only trustworthy Bible in the English language.  The KJV New Testament comes from the Greek Textus Receptus which comes from over 5,000 MSS which are in 95% agreement with each other; where virtually all the new versions come from MSS that do not agree with each other in thousands of places.  The KJV is the standard!

You will be greatly blessed of you look up all the Scripture references indicated in this study.  It is recommend that each chapter be read through once and then a second time looking up the references.

It is our earnest prayer that this study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ be used of God to bring the lost to a saving knowledge of Him, and that it might be used to edify and strengthen believers. 

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (II Tinothy 2:15,  cf. 3:15; Matthew 4:4; Titus 1:9; I Thessalonians 5:20; II peter 1:19-21; Revelation 19:10).  God bless you in your study (I Thessalonians 5:23-25).

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD

The first verse of the Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). In the original Hebrew there are only 7 words in the verse. Here is the first verse of the Bible in Hebrew which reads from right to left:

It should be noted that the Bible was written primarily in to languages: The Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Koine Greek.

Now look at what the Lord Jesus said in Revelation 1:8:

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

All this will make sense in a moment, but first look back up to the Hebrew rendering of Genesis 1:1, and look at the middle Hebrew word which is not translated. These two letters are Aleph and Tav which are the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet These two letters are pronounced “ate” or 8. They correspond to the Greek Alpha and Omega of Revelation 1:8 above.

This gives previously unseen meaning to the first verse of the Book of John where it says of the Lord Jesus, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). The Lord Jesus’ Name was “the Word” before He took human flesh upon Himself and became “the only begotten of the Father” (John 1:14, cf. 1:18, 3:16, 3:18; 1 John 4:9; Hebrews 1:1-6, 10:4-10; Psalm 2:7-12; Philippians 2:5-8). The pre-incarnate Christ is found in the first verse of the Bible with God the Father and God the Holy Ghost!

Jesus Christ is both the Alpha / Omega, and the Aleph / Tav. He is the Word.

Another interesting fact is that the Lord Jesus’ pre-incarnate title, The Word (capital “W”), is recorded in 5 verses, and is found 7 times including in 1 John 5:7. All English translations of the Bible with the exception of the King James Bible omit or cast doubt on the authenticity of 1 John 5:7. The Word is found in John 1:1 (3 times), John 1:14, 1 John 1:1, 1 John 5:7 and Revelation 19:13. In Biblical Numerics 7 stands for Divine completion and perfection, and 5 is symbolic for grace and redemption. The Bible which proclaims God’s full grace and redemption has been completed and is perfect.

Now let’s look at 1 John 5:7:

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.“

It is interesting that the incarnate Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the written Word, the Bible, share many of the same characteristics: Both are holy, powerful, truth, life giving, eternal, etc. The Lord and the Bible are forever linked together.

Now let’s focus in on the written Word of God: Using our King James Bible, if we count the words and letters of the first verse of the Bible, Genesis 1:1, and do the same with the last verse of the Bible, Revelation 22:21 and add them together we get 22 words and 88 letters. The interesting thing about these two sums is that 1 John 5:7 also has 22 words and 88 letters. Coincidence? I think not! The Bible from the first verse, Genesis 1:1, to the last verse, Revelation 22:21, is the Word of God and there are three that bear record to this fact and these three are one.

NOTE:

For the names of all the letters of Hebrew alphabet see Psalm 119. The 22 letters of the alphabet are at 8 verse intervals. In the Hebrew Bible each interval begins with the designated Hebrew letter.
