who did not appreciate interpretation.   “The folly of Interpreters has been, to foretel times and things by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He gave this and the Prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify men’s curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and his own Providence, not the Interpreters, be then manifested thereby to the world.”

for information on the Apocalypse and it is all online.

The Newton Project for all his works.

“Observations On  Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John” by Sir Isaac Newton, an online book that is searchable. Newton spent a lot of time investigating the Apocalypse and his views should be considered by anyone who wants to understand.

and the creator of the Dome of the Rock.   Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, a raiser of taxes, placed the abomination of desolation in the holy place.

but that is not the main reason I use it.  I want to have a dialogue with the protestants and their preferred bible is the King James Version.  The KJV has a number of errors but they are not show stoppers unless you are looking for historical events that fulfill prophecy.  That is another post.

Daniel 12:10 in all English translations.  Search for the word ‘tested’ and you will find it in only one translation, the NABRE. You will find ‘tried’ in 9 translations, ‘purified’ in 30 translations, and ‘refined’ in 31 translations.  The word that most accurately describes what we are doing here is the word ‘tested’.  Our free will is being tested.

to check your bible against over 50 other translations.  Take any verse like 2 Timothy 2:15 and click on 2 Timothy 2:15 in all English translations.  Then search for ‘rightly dividing’ and you will find it in 9 of 59 English translations.  Check your bible.  It’s free and easy to do in Bible Gateway. 

to see if you can.  Does it have the word ‘test’?  If not, do you know what you are doing here?  You are being tested.  From a bible that does contain the word ‘test’, you are being refined, purified, and tested.  Those with insight shall understand. 

if you are looking for a beast. Your bible could have as many as 296 beasts or as few as 87.  There are 20 translations that consider the beast in Revelation 13:1 a he and 37 translations call it an it.  This is a significant difference.  Daniel 7:7 can help us here.  The fourth beast is an it in all 52 translations.  It has ten horns just like the beast in Revelation.  If your translation has a he for a beast, you are being misled.

with twice as many followers as Jesus had.  More important my blog with  WordPress has reach 25 countries in all but one of the seven continents, Antarctica.  With the internet, the gospel is reaching unto all nations.  With Google and other search engines knowledge shall be increased.
