A Far Better Environment
By Prophet Jacob R. Blandford
13 times in Apostle Paul’s
Epistle to the Hebrews does he say the New Covenant is “better” than the Old Covenant. I want to
briefly talk about why the KJV is a BETTER translation than the modern versions.
In his book “Defending the
King James Bible” Dr. D.A. Waite lists a fourfold superiority of the KJB, it
is:
- Texts (namely the Hebrew Masoretic and the
Received Text or the Textus Receptus)
- Translators (King James’ subjects and members of
the church of England)
- Technique (the word-for-word formal equivalence
and the review and comparison process of the 54 translators)
- Theology (all the translators believed in the
deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, his blood atonement, resurrection, and
miracles)
But I’d like to add two other
points to the KJV’s superiority: (1) The timing
and (2) The environment.
The timing was the church of Philadelphia. The church that “kept” God’s word according
to the Risen Christ in Revelation 3.
It was the time of the Protestant Reformation. A return to the true gospel
of the grace of Jesus Christ and his pure word. A time of the Five Solas. It was
a time of light and salvation because the Christian faith of the underground
Bible-believers was finally brought to the forefront, and the Dark ages and
medieval reign of the popes was collapsing.
It was before the deceptive end times of Laodicea. It was before
atheism and environmentalism. It was
before television and movies. It was
before “science falsely so-called” (1 Tim. 6:20). It was
before “philosophy” (Col. 2:8) and critical race theory swept over our colleges
and universities. It was before the
big-bang theory. It was before abortion.
It was before sports athletes were the highest paid professionals in the world.
I could go on and on, God help us. It
was before the world really stepped into 1 Tim. 4 and 2 Tim. 3 & 4. That was the timing of the KJV. The timing was when Christ and Christianity
and the Bible were reverenced by just about all of Europe. They “feared God”. The same cannot be said about Americans
today. Americans today are pagans,
slaves to sin, gamblers, smokers, drunks, whoremongers, idolaters, and most of
all LIARS and PROUD idiots.
The environment. King James I was the head of the nation and
the head of the church. England’s monarchy has a long history of seeing themselves
accountable and underneath the Lordship of God, and specially God’s Son Jesus
Christ as a Christian nation. The
English kings and queens knew they were subject to the God of the Holy Bible. Because of this, they encouraged their
subjects to also reverence, serve, and believe God. King James and all his translators served God
in this capacity of reverence and faith.
This is why the KJV was superior to any of the other apostate committee
members on modern bible versions. Their
translations are patchwork and guesswork.
Just look at their footnotes!
They don’t believe God preserved his words, and it’s their job to rescue
the text to the best of their ability.
That is NOT the case with the KJV translators. They believed they had God’s preserved word
in the original tongues (which they did according to Psalm 12:6-7 and Matthew
24:35 and Mark 13:31) and they
believed they had high quality translations to compare with (which they did). They would have laughed at a NIV or NRSV or
NKJV and deemed it the “gall of dragons”!
They had access to the Jesuit Rheims of 1582 and the Latin Vulgate but
they preferred the holy Texts of Bible-believers over those of Rome.
