My God is Strong. My God is my Great Love of my Life. He walks with me. He talks to me. I feel His Light close to me. Always leading me to see everything through His eyes. Always opposite what the world seems to be. Day to Day l give my Life to Him. Never the evilness of mankind. For if l walked the world's way of Me Myself and l, l would never be able to finish what my God wants me to do. Look around at the suffering. They have nothing. But they have a God they can go to. And so they go day to day staying in His Grace. So in these days when God is close to coming, choose what side you will be on. Take it from me. I lived the world. Met God in an after death. Know He is real and very Loving to His people who keep the Faith!!!
Hopefully I can help with a couple of your questions. The KJV is the best, oldest, version of the Bible we have. One thing that is quiet awesome of this site is when you look in the 1611 KJV section. They have every single page photographed, and posted here, of an original 1611 KJV Bible. Very cool. Many of the newer versions have had things removed and words changed. As the KJV is the oldest English Bible. So with just a couple of the verses you have. In Luke 19:23 the word they made "bank" was the original Greek word "trapeza" transliterated from Greek. This word means "a table or stool" or "a table or stand of a money changer to count money". The word is used thirteen times, in the New Testament, for "table" and just once for "bank". Seems ok instead of saying maybe "my money onto the money changers table". The other one is Isaiah 11:6. It has always been "wolf also shall dwell with the lamb". As you have "the young lion and the fatling together" in the same verse. Along with "the lion shall eat straw like the ox" in the next verse. The lion and the lamb thing was actually started in a song way back and got popular. Spreading but it was always "wolf also shall dwell with the lamb".
Thank you for your reply. The reason I ask is that in mark 2:22 says no one puts new wine in old bottles wasn't always wine skins? Also in luke 19:23 uses the word bank "Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury" Did they have banks when they translated 1611 kjv? Also in Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, wasn't it always "the lion shall down with the lamb? And the our father prayer in Luke 11:2, now says "Our Father which art in heaven" wasn't it always "our father WHO art in heaven"? I have many more discrepancies.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
Never said Lion and lamb. Always was and always will be Wolf and Lamb. You must have seen the famous picture of a famous artist that painted a picture of a lion and a lamb. But in the bible it was always will be a wolf and a lamb.
As Chris stated where did you read this? From what Bible? It has been proven that even in the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Museum in Israel that it is "wolf". The KJV is the best version of the Holy Bible we have. Yes, as through the years many things in the "newer" versions of the Bible have been changed or removed. Today we have the ability to check through the whole Bible, Hebrew or Greek, to see the original words used. Even though it was not even a KJV Bible that lead me to Jesus Christ. It was a NAS Bible. Still good enough to bring me to the Lord. Now I have a KJV which is the best.
Looking a little into this. Do you know the song those "lyrics" were in that came out in 1937? Then became the most popular by Elvis and so on into society.
In the same verse, Isaiah 11:6, it does say "the young lion and the fatling together". The next verse "the lion shall eat straw like the ox". A wolf has always been known to be the predator of sheep.
Please don't take this as an argument. I only want to help. Calling others "blinded" because of this is false.
God Bless you. Have a wonderful day my brothers and sisters!
Could you tell us where/which Bible version it says "Lion and Lamb"? If there has been a change as you suspect, could you give more information about it so we can make the change in our Bibles?
Isaiah 11:6 should say 'Lion and Lamb' NOT wolf and other changes are also in this book changed by satan it is not the Books of our Lord any more. For those whom want to rebuke or argue about this ......, well I'm sorry you are blinded. For the rest of those seeing this watch for the many changes and follow your heart with a lot of prayers to our Lord for His truth already in your heart. The famine is here, the famine for His Word. Amen

UNITED STATES in PROPHESYMishael on Genesis 6 - 4 years ago
I've read in a book on Prophesies ( they're out there. Buy one)
That America/United States is called in prophesy: Islands in the Sea. That's because the continents are surrounded by water. Also, Britain, Scotland, Australia and others.
Here are the scriptures:
Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isaiah 13:22
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Isaiah 41:1
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Isaiah 42:12
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Isaiah 42:15
I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
Isaiah 59:18
According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
Jeremiah 50:39
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
America is not without sin. Plenty of people describe it as the new whore of Babylon.
Have we not seen people who murder, shoot up synagogues, set them on fire: rain hatred on them sunup to past midnight?
How many churched people have come in here recently, saying, despite going to church regular, they barely know anything about scripture or prophesy? Quite a bit.
If satan has the power to go back in time and change the bible (Mandela effect) then he is more powerful than the Lord.
at least those who push this ridiculous theory want us to believe.
God promised to PRESERVE his words and if things were changed, then He failed.
Example: Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
The "lion shall lay down with the lamb" is a lyric made popular by the 1937 song, "Peace in the Valley" written by Thomas A. Dorsey
Lion with lamb was a song
It was first made popular by Red Foley and the Sunshine Boys in 1951 after being recorded by Sam Cooke of the Soul Stirrers in 1950 and rising to limited success. But it wasn't until Elvis Presley recorded the song on his first Christmas Album with the Jordanaires that "Peace in the Valley" received worldwide fame.
On January 6, 1957, Elvis sang "Peace in the Valley" on the Ed Sullivan Show,
After the popularity of Elvis' rendition of the song, many ministers around the nation began integrating the lyrics into their sermons. that is what many remember.
Chris, what a "coincidence" that, while I was going through a few threads with some concern about the health of my left eye, I came upon your

This is the very first time, I think, that I have read through discussions here although I have visited kingjamesbibleonline.org many, many times for some time now.
I could sense that you are a very gentle soul and that was, mainly, what prompted me to post this comment.
By the way, I have come to this part of the forum, some minutes after I had started looking for commentaries on "the islands of the sea" ( Isaiah 11:11).
United States, England, Ireland, Scotland. Any nation off the west coast of Europe and Africa are considered to be: the Islands of the Sea.
Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isaiah 13
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Isaiah 41:1
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Isaiah 42:12
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
No matter where you live: bottom line is to be ready to go with Jesus. God destroyed people on earth with water the first time.
Alex, I would have liked to send you a link that I believe will give you more information that you are seeking, but I'll try doing it this way:
Go to the site: StackExchange. At Search All Sites, type in How could Jesus be descended. Hopefully, you will see the first discussion that has one David Connor giving a very useful reply.
Personally, I've always had a sense that this Holy Seed from God was implanted in Mary without any contribution from Mary's body towards the growth & development of the embryo. In other words, the embryo was sustained & nurtured in the womb by the Spirit & that Jesus' birth through humanity was purely to provide an incarnation & physical evidence of a Davidic lineage. We know that God could have just as easily taken His Word & clothed Him in humanity to accomplish His purposes without the need of a physical birth. But He chose to use humanity to achieve that end, to fulfil prophecy concerning the Davidic line of His Messiah ( Isaiah 11:1-5).
I then use this rationale to believe that Jesus was born into the world without a sin nature (unlike us), & that at His temptation ( Mt 4), Satan's sole objective was to force upon Jesus a sin nature, just as He did to Adam & Eve. Unlike the first Adam, the Last Adam withstood Satan using His Own Word. I should also say, that I know of some believers that believe that Jesus was born with a sin nature (through Mary) as we have also through our parents, but He resisted Satan so as to not succumb to sin (unlike us). I don't accept this view as it compromises the Holiness of God & His Seed.
But this is the other side of your question that leads to your enquiry as to which line does Jesus' ancestry go through & how that is accomplished, & therefore my comment above doesn't answer what you want to know, but may help. So I hope that Site will offer you more guidance in this.
Genesis 1:22 KJV And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Fill the waters in the seas.that is, fill the praise of God before all of the nations (seas) of the world. The waters are people, languages, etc. The earth shall be filled with knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:9-10 KJV They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. (10) And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Let fowl multiply in the earth.that is, words of His praise will be multiplied before all of the nations of this world. Praise the LORD, all you nationspraise Him all you people. We are to praise Him for His mercy, kindness and the revealing of His Truth.
Psalms 117:1-2 KJV O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. (2) For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
I will confess/praise/thank Him among the nations (gentiles) and sing unto His name. Let fowl multiply in the earththat is, words/songs of God's praise and thanksgiving to Him among all nations of this world. The words of His praise multiply and fly through the air for the nations to hear. We, His people, are to abound with His praiseglorifying God before all nations.
Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:(9) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.(10) And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.(11) And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
Thank you for your comments, David. This piqued my interest in a part of history that is not easily available to us; at least after my spending much time doing research. My research showed Constantine's rise to power & his 'conversion' & subsequent favour to the persecuted & impoverished Christians living in Rome. On his death bed he was baptized for the security of his soul. But, nothing about what you had written. I then found (in Wikipedia) the following: "In 331 AD, Constantine commissioned Eusebius to deliver 50 Bibles to the Church of Constantinople. Athanasius recorded that about 340 Alexandrian scribes prepared Bibles for Constans. It was speculated that this provided motivation for canon lists & (certain codices) are examples of these Bibles. Together with another codex, these are the earliest extant Christian Bibles". Is this then what you are referring to? If not, then I would be interested to read your source material.
I am not saying that Rome corrupted the bible. I am saying that the early Church was purposefully COMPILED under the stewardship of the Roman Empire out of fragmented factions from all around the Mediterannean, including what is now Turkey. So, the Roman Empire LED the compiling of the bible that is the KJV Bible today. They did this to create a single Church which would support the legitimacy and continued rule of the Roman Empire. And they killed a lot of people who wanted to preserve the many testaments they chose to exclude. The KJV bible we read today is the product of the political leadership of the Roman Empire. That is generally how religions are formed. By political leaders who need populations to submit to their rule. We can learn from this and ask ourselves questions about how we lead our lives, and how we treat each other, which is what I think Jesus was prompting us to do.
There were many religions and variations on Christianity at that time. The Roman Empire needed an overarching religion that could integrate non-Roman people under a single creed. Christianity is the religion THEY selected. But Christianity had multiple variants and to be credible as a single creed, it needed to be 'streamlined'. That is why PEOPLE from multiple parts of the empire were selected and assembled to sift through and agree which parts of which texts would form the basis of the Christianity. IE, the Roman Empire organised the crafting of the bible deciding which texts were to be included for its own purpose. With much argument and debate, and repression of opposing points of view, the killing by the Church of many who were guardians of texts that had not been included. The KJV Bible is a translation of the documents carefully selected by that same Church under the political leadership of the Roman Empire. This is well-established by historians who do not dispute this.
David, there are some truths in what you share, but looking at it fully, it seems to smack of "The Da Vinci Code": The fundamental irony of Christianity! The Bible as we know it today, was collated by the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine the Great". Constantine, of doubtful conversion, did not reform or collate the Bible. In 306 AD, he became ruler of the Roman Empire. In 325 AD, he called for the Council of Nicaea: the first general conference of the 'Christian Church'. He had nothing to do in forming the Canon, nor did the Council refer to it. The Council formed decisions about the Canon in 397 AD in Carthage: 60 yrs after Constantine's death (274-337 AD). Important to note that 21 Books of the Bible were acknowledged by Christians long before Constantine. Yes, he did have some impact on Christianity, but when Christianity veered off course (as from the early days & look at the sects/splits we have), then this is not the pure religion of God, of His Christ & apostolic teaching.
Orren all I know is the Greek church would disagree with you since they gave us the Bible, not rome.
Rome and the unbelieving Jews tried to wipe out the church. The new testament was written in Greek, not Latin the language of the Roman empire. Since you want to believe Rome was more powerful than the Lord of Israel who was unable to keep his words pure, well that is up to you. Constantine is a nobody compared to the God of Abraham. I believe the Lord kept his words pure and you believe a roman emperor overpowered the Lord and corrupted the Bible. Even the unbelieving Jews admit Jesus existed and performed miracles.
The Roman Emperor Constantine reinvented Christianity in order to save the Roman Empire form hostile tribes. His idea was to create a unifying religion and he saw Christianity as that religion that he could identify with. It was under Constantine that the testaments were selected and the history of Jesus was rewritten. They scrubbed out most of the testaments which conflicted with the story they wanted to portray. What we call the 'word of God' is in fact the result of realpolitik by Rome to save itself from disintegration. It is even doubtful if Constantine truthfully converted. As Christianity turned into an institution the church repressed anyone who questioned its contents, killing any one who translated it to mean something different. What eventually got translated into the KJB is just what the Roman Emperor decided was OK to write about. We do not have easy access to the much greater amount of remaining material on the real life of Jesus which is locked up in the Vatican vaults.
Rosanna, the KJV is changing supernaturally: however, I have come to realize that the enemy is trying to change our focus from the Word of God. We are too late in the game to be distracted from the word. All it is doing is keeping me from really digging into his word and seeking Him for who He is. We need our relationship with the Lord to be strong and unwavering. The only way it is going to get that way is if we focus on Him and His word and not over these things. Pray the Lord will bring back to memory what the original meaning is and continue on growing in the knowledge of Him. That is all that matters now in these last days. God bless you.
Hi Patsy, I think some people see because they have eyes to read and a mind to think for themselves. To ask questions, and never to believe those who put themselves above us in having access to some truth based on our stopping to see and ask questions and not thinking for ourselves.
Charles: obviously you have strong feelings about women generally. News media has poisoned our minds daily in some aspects. Flip side there are many women doing the best they can with very little. Not all.
I'm praying Malachi 4:5-6, on this generation of men.
'And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.'

I have faith in God to perform this miracle.
God needs workers to send into the harvest.
This world system that makes us so angry at times is going to pass away. It cannot be fixed! We are on a rescue mandate. Like Noah, get them in the ark (who is Jesus).

Isaiah 11:9-10 KJV They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:(9) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.(10) And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.(11) And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Give it cheerfully. Not grudgingly. Not of necessity.
God doesn't need your money. He just wants to know if we trust Him.
Rome and the unbelieving Jews tried to wipe out the church. The new testament was written in Greek, not Latin the language of the Roman empire. Since you want to believe Rome was more powerful than the Lord of Israel who was unable to keep his words pure, well that is up to you. Constantine is a nobody compared to the God of Abraham. I believe the Lord kept his words pure and you believe a roman emperor overpowered the Lord and corrupted the Bible. Even the unbelieving Jews admit Jesus existed and performed miracles.
I'm praying Malachi 4:5-6, on this generation of men.

Isaiah 59:21, a covenant.
I have faith in God to perform this miracle.
God needs workers to send into the harvest.
This world system that makes us so angry at times is going to pass away. It cannot be fixed! We are on a rescue mandate. Like Noah, get them in the ark (who is Jesus).
