Pharaoh King of Egypt (Part 18)

This post continues from where I have left off at Pharaoh King of Egypt (Part 17), where I have shown from scripture the spirit of antichrist in modern bible versions, the spirit of antichrist being opposed to the Spirit of the LORD in the 1611 King James Bible. Words are the physical manifestation of the spirit, such as in these verses:

Proverbs 1:23 "Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you."

John 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

Words are the truest form of a spirit because the air which we exhale as we speak are put to work, to bring forth a certain outcome, just like how God breathed into Adam the breath of life and he became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). In the same way, it is the written words of the LORD, when received in an “honest and good heart” (Luke 8:15), that will impart life into our soul that we may live forever. Therefore, it is in the modus operandi of the Devil to attack the 66 books of the Holy Bible by the spirit of antichrist in order to extinguish the kingdom of God from off the surface of the earth. The spirit of antichrist mingled in modern bible translations is anti-faith. It works to produce doubt in the words of the LORD, even as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty.

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."

Verse 3 is a warning to all Christians. It is a warning against what the Devil will do to us, even as he had done to Eve in the garden of Eden in Genesis 3. Paul tells us that his aim is to corrupt our minds from the simplicity that is in Christ. Verse 4 tells us that the Devil will come preaching another “Jesus.” That would be that man of sin, the son of perdition who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, even the words of the LORD, which Paul has revealed to us in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. That means that the Devil will come preaching from another bible which pretends to be the real Holy Bible. That would be those modern bible versions (NIV, NKJV, ESV, NASB, etc) which the Apostles have not preached, because they came from completely different manuscripts than those of the 1611 King James Bible, carrying in them the spirit of antichrist pretending to be the Spirit of the LORD.

1 Samuel 28:13-14 "And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. 14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself."

There are familiar spirits pretending to be the prophets of God, such as in this case, when king Saul went to a woman who had a familiar spirit which pretended to be prophet Samuel. Likewise, familiar spirits can also pretend to be the Spirit of the LORD, speaking familiar things. That is how the Devil is able to deceive great numbers of Christians and churches into the worship of another Jesus, with another gospel and another spirit.

“… the entire anti-inspiration, anti-preservation controversy is all about a worldwide effort to destroy the holiness and perfection of God’s Word. Satan is behind this effort, around this effort and at the head of it. He hates God’s Word. He employs any and all who, through ignorance or intention, will swallow his carnal intellectualism and worldly wisdom. In the English-speaking realm, his attack is against the King James Bible. Interestingly, Satan’s wrath has not been kindled against any of the copyrighted versions translated from the corrupted texts with their additions and deletions, their pollutions and dilutions, and their allowances and perversions. No other version is under attack at all. The newer versions simply die out of circulation for lack of interest and readership.” — Jeff Farnham, God’s Forever Word, p.161

Modern bible versions have their root in man’s philosophy, commonly called “Critical Text Theory” or “Textual Criticism.”

Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

Textual Criticism is the study of the existing copies of the autographs or manuscripts which originals are unknown or non-existent for the purpose of determining the exact wording in the original autographs. It is an approach by scholars and academics in an attempt to recover the “lost words” in the original manuscripts through literary critique and challenge to the traditional belief system founded upon the doctrines of inspiration and preservation of God’s words. That’s why since 1881, there have been more than two hundred translations of the bible, especially the New Testament, all translated using the “Critical Text” to subvert and supplant the 1611 King James Bible by claiming that the manuscripts underlying the King James Bible were inferior, outdated and faulty, all the while putting out the claim that they have the base text closest to the original autographs in their possessions.

“When CT [Critical Text] advocates appeal to an authoritative Bible from their evolutionary text they are functioning as an illusionist. Their infallible Bible is lost in a vaporous philosophical cul-de-sac and they are desperate for others not to possess one either. They believe that the Bible emerged from a “big bang” and then it was lost. Thanks to an evolutionary path which will culminate one day through liberal scholarship it may theoretically reappear in the future, although they do not think so. However, God has promised preservation in the minutiae, and not simply in the main. Although the Bible is not exhaustive in setting forth every detail of the preservation of God’s Words, when and where it speaks, it speaks with God’s authority. This authority does not extend to all competing and contradictory theories of the mode and methodologies of preservation. We should never be tempted to surrender the clear promises of God’s Word (1 Cor 4:6) amidst the capricious waves of textual critical theories.” — Paul Ferguson, Preservation of the Bible

Modern bible versions translated from Critical Text appeals from the standpoint that God had not wholly preserved his words. It is an “evolutionary text,” so as to say, developed on the premise that since we don’t have the original autographs with us, therefore, the words in the Holy Bible is questionable, and if the words of the Holy Bible is questionable, then the God of the Holy Bible too, becomes questionable, and if the God of the Holy Bible is questionable, then nothing is “thus saith the LORD,” and everything is subjected to their interpretation of what God really meant to say in those imperfect albeit “oldest and best” manuscripts they have in their possessions. “We evolve toward textual perfection…," according to Dr Trelo Ilithios of Klania Tou Enkephalou University in Blakeia who said in an internet press conference that the University philosophy of Textual Criticism is related to Darwinism, teaching that the Greek New Testament has to evolve to perfection by constant changes as scientific investigation uncovers older and better manuscripts.

In the course of the 20th century, textual critics Kurt Aland, Bruce Metzger, Cardinal Carlo Martini and others built on the works of Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort and produced what is called the Nestle-Aland or United Bible Society (NA/UBS) Greek text. Metzger wrote:

“The international committee that produced the United Bible Societies Greek New Testament, not only adopted the Westcott and Hort edition as its basic text, but followed their methodology in giving attention to both external and internal consideration” (James Brooks, Bible Interpreters of the 20th century, p. 264).

Today, this NA/UBS text is the standard Greek New Testament text for study in evangelical seminaries and translation by Bible societies. Most modern bible versions were translated from this text. Not many people might know this, that the NA/UBS text is under the supervision and control of the Vatican (Roman Catholic Church) through joint agreement with the UBS (United Bible Societies) which owns it. The Introduction to the Nestle-Aland: Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th revised edition (2006) explicitly confirms the close relationship between the UBS and the Vatican:

“The text shared by these two editions was adopted internationally by Bible Societies, an following an agreement between the Vatican and the United Bible Societies it has served as the basis for new translations and for revisions made under their supervision. This marks a significant step with regard to interconfessional relationships.” (p. 45)

When Pope Francis was elected in 2013, the United Bible Societies praised the new Pope with open arms and affirmed the UBS’s close collaboration with the Vatican. UBS General Secretary Michael Perreau stated:

“As a long-time friend of the Bible Societies Pope Francis knows that our raison d’être is the call to collaborate in the incarnation of our Christian faith…. We assure Pope Francis of our renewed availability to serve the Catholic Church in her endeavours to make the Word of God the centre of new evangelisation.”

Some Christians that I’ve met who use modern bible versions insist that the words in the Holy Bible are not as important as the context or the idea of a passage. They insist that the words of the Holy Bible can be changed, as long as the vital doctrines are not affected. There is an unspoken doctrine in every modern bible version, and that is, God has not only failed to preserve his words perfectly, but that his words can be changed and is made subject to man's scholarship. Well, if God can fail, then your salvation and mine will be one big question mark, which is to say, Jesus possibly came in vain, and he was probably not 100% sure when he said "It is finished" (John 19:30) because the work he has done on the cross was probably not sufficient. His death on the cross was probably not enough to atone for your sins and mine. God will probably need man's help because he alone cannot save man from Hell and the Lake of Fire. The doctrine of salvation by grace through faith now hinges upon God's limited ability and man's effort to save himself. Sounds familiar? If it does, it is not surprising because the NIV and other popular modern translations carry a spirit of antichrist in their text, subtly working against faith. The following words of Westcott and Hort should confirm what I’ve just said, and make us be wary of a text that is compiled by theological liberals and Jesuits:

“The first impulse in dealing with a variation is usually to lean on Intrinsic Probability, that is, to consider which of two readings makes the best sense, and to decide between them accordingly. The decision may be made either by an immediate and as it were intuitive judgment, or by weighing cautiously various elements which go to make up what is called sense, such as conformity to grammar and congruity to the purport of the rest of the sentence and of the larger context; to which may rightly be added congruity to the usual style of the author and to his matter in other passages. (The New Testament in the Original Greek, the Text Revised by B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort (Cambridge : MacMillan & Co., 1882), p. 20)”

The NA/UBS text is a critical edition of the New Testament, and the source text of most modern Bible translations. The reason the NA/UBS text is widely accepted is because it is the standard text of the large and influential Roman Catholic Church. As of current, it is already in its 28th edition. To date, the underlying text for modern bible versions is still "evolving." Evolution is a theological concept whereby man began as a form of primitive life, gradually develops over time, and eventually attains unto a superior form. What then, is a man in his superior form? A little-g god?

Genesis 3:4-5 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

The Devil told Eve that man shall not surely die, because he shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. This is where we know that little-g gods don't die like man. Therefore, Evolution is man becoming a god, and the author of Evolution is none other than Satan himself. Peter prophesied in 2 Peter 3:3-7 that there will be scoffers right before the end of the world who will vehemently deny Creation even when they were presented with viable and credible evidences, choosing to walk after their own lusts. This began when Charles Darwin published his book, originally titled “The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life” and the philosophy took the whole world like a storm. Of course, Evolution is a religion disguised as Science. It is a lie and will remain a lie no matter how many “scientists” and “academics” endorse this theory. What is the one evidence that tells us the whole world is controlled by a secret cult?

“Mock them! Ridicule them! In public!!” — Richard Dawkins

Colossians 2:18 "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,"

Paul tells us in this verse “let no man begile you,” that is to say, the Devil will beguile you through man, as much as he beguiled Eve in the serpent form in Genesis 3. Atheism is as much a religion as other theistic religions. However, notice a difference: "Evolution" (the backbone of Atheism) is promoted as science in every public school and institution of higher learning around the whole world. Other religious schools of thought remain “religion.” In fact, anyone who dares to breathe a hint of doubt on Evolution will be dealt with a severe penalty, to the extent that their whole career would be systematically destroyed.

This excellent documentary “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” has documented several real-life accounts of forceful suppression of the freedom of speech by the atheistic American Academic Dictatorship. Intelligent Design is scorned and ridiculed at. Honest academics and researchers paid the price for being honest with their research. Many were expelled from their academic roles for proposing an alternative explanation to Evolution. To teach Evolution in schools is actually a form of satanic indoctrination under the disguise of “science.” Evolution teaches that man came from animals. Therefore, to desensitize the public to the idea of genetic engineering on mankind as subjects is to start modifying the genes of animals. Once that has become the acceptable norm, this is where teachings from the theory of Evolution come in to prove that man basically came from animals and therefore it is morally acceptable that the same idea be applied to mankind as subjects to be experimented on.

Even bible scholars adopt Darwinism in their model of textual criticism. The NIV and other modern bible versions (NKJV, NLT, ESV, NASB, etc) have "evolved" over the years. Thousands upon thousands of words and phrases have been added and subtracted over time to make the bible “better” and “more accurate.” In fact, the 1984 NIV is so different from the 2011 NIV that it is hard to tell that they are actually from the same tree. They have removed 32,863 words and added another 34,469 different words! This is apart from the fact that modern bible versions on their own already vary greatly from the 1611 the King James Bible.

With modern bible versions, it is always a constant process of evolution that will not cease until the bible goes extinct one day because they die out of circulation for the lack of interest and readership so that those bibles are no longer in print as had happened to some (RSV, ERV, etc). The more popular bibles (NIV, NKJV, ESV, NASB etc) dominate the less popular ones (RSV, ERV, etc) and the less popular ones will have to give way by order of nature and allow themselves to be eliminated in the vicious cycle of the “survival of the fittest” that favours the strongest and the most superior to ensure that the "best" bibles will continue to survive for the next million years or so. Does that sound familiar to you?

Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."

The Devil is a beast, and he and his minions are constantly at work. The Devil is also known as the serpent, the great red dragon, the roaring lion, and Beelzebub in the Bible. God has created him with beastly characteristics. Just like animals, there will be observable trails and hoof prints left behind if we pay close attention to what he is doing — looking through the lens of the pure word of God, the 1611 King James Bible. For example, the great red dragon has seven heads in one body, just like the golden candlestick which is comprised of seven candlesticks in one beaten work of pure gold. This is God showing us a picture through number patterns. The red great dragon has the appearance of the golden candlestick, but in a perverted or counterfeit sense. The golden candlestick is also a picture of the 66 books of the word of God, and therefore the great red dragon is a picture of counterfeit bible versions. The author of Evolution is the same author which inspired modern bible versions (NIV, NKJV, NLT, ESV, NASB, etc). Jesus called him a “murderer from the beginning” and a “liar, and the father of it” in John 8:44. To continue in Part 19.
