The King James Bible is way different than modern versions. They do not say the same thing, and they do not mean the same thing in many, many, many places. A website that you can check that we are working on right now,

Speaker A

Why was the King James Bible given at a perfect time in history? Anybody engaged in this issue of the King James Bible being God's perfect word and other translations being corrupt [music] this question, I'm sure you've seen it

Speaker A

where we have over 1,000 verses inputted, and we're adding more regularly, is kjvcompare.com, and you can see for yourself that there are doctrinal differences, there are prophetic differences, there are historical differences and discrepancies, there's contradictions, there's errors, there's all kinds of issues.

Speaker A

Where was God's word before you had your perfect King James Bible?" And I'm saying it like that because that's how it's often asked.

Speaker A

So, this documentary, which is going to be very long, I know, is going to show how God has had his hand over his book and he had his mind over this book since the beginning of time.

Speaker A

Now, if you actually ask these questions sincerely, they are actually not just good questions, they are important questions, and they open up our understanding as to why God would do it like this.

Speaker A

So, I pray that this video will bless you and help you, and maybe if you're new to this whole topic, it's not going to convince you, but it will at least open the door and answer that question that people often say, "What did men do before the King James Bible, before 1611?"

Speaker A

But first, let's make an important distinction in these questions. Because sometimes they're going to say, "Where was [music] the word of God before 1611?" Other times they're going to say, "Where was the Bible before 1611?" [music] So, on one hand we're talking about the

Speaker A

Because that's one of the rhetorical questions they'd like to ask. So, enjoy this clip. Thank you for all the people who support this channel. Thank you for the book club members. Thank you for your prayers and your support and your help and your comments and our conversations in the chats.

Speaker A

Because if you were to ask me, "Where was the word of God before 1611?" My simple answer would be anywhere and in any generation that it was faithfully translated or preserved.

Speaker A

Thank you so much for everything, and if you want to join the book club, it's available.

Speaker A

Just like he guided men to originally inspire it, God can guide men to preserve it. Because it's not man's job to preserve his word, it's the job of the Lord. It's God's own job. It's the spirit of truth who guides us into all

Speaker A

It helps us because I run this ministry full-time. I do it full-time from home. I hope you enjoy this clip.

Speaker A

But where was God's book before 1611? That is a good question that we can ask because we're asking it specifically in the context of Isaiah 34:16.

Speaker A

Why was the King James Bible given at a perfect time in history? Anybody engaged in this issue of the King James Bible being God's perfect word and other translations being corrupt, this question, I'm sure you've seen it before, will come up.

Speaker A

A volume, a written record where it's all put together that anybody in the earth can seek out of and read. Where was that before 1611?

Speaker A

"Where was the Bible before 1611? Why would God wait so long? Where was God's word before you had your perfect King James Bible?"

Speaker A

God's book, his book of the Lord, is meant to be sought out in the end times to verify that all these things have come to pass.

Speaker A

And I'm saying it like that because that's how it's often asked.

Speaker A

book. There's four different lenses, or if you will, let's take a window and divide it up into four different panes, and let's look at each one of those so I can show you why I believe this was the absolute

Speaker A

It's asked rhetorically and proudly. Basically, it's the "I got you" question. You can't answer this. This proves that your position that the King James Bible is God's perfect book is silly.

Speaker A

Hypothetical situation. Let's say you and I are Bible translators, and we have this Bible in our own language, and God himself has told us that this Bible in our hands is 95% [music] correct.

Speaker A

Now, if you actually ask these questions sincerely, they are actually not just good questions, they are important questions, and they open up our understanding as to why God would do it like this.

Speaker A

And God showed us where the 5% of the errors were. So, we know what we need to focus on, what we need to change before copyright laws come to effect, this is no issue. We can take this entire Bible, all 95% of its perfect

Speaker A

And it gives us a lot of appreciation, at least for me, on why God waited for 1,600 years to give us a book in its ultimate form.

Speaker A

Now, the King James translators obviously didn't hear a voice from heaven saying that 5% of the Bible was incomplete, but their view was pretty similar in the sense that they already thought the Bible was excellent as is.

Speaker A

But first, let's make an important distinction in these questions. Because sometimes they're going to say, "Where was the word of God before 1611?" Other times they're going to say, "Where was the Bible before 1611?"

Speaker A

To have the translations of the Bible maturely considered of and examined. For by this means it cometh to pass that whatsoever is sound already, and all is sound for substance in one or other of our editions.

Speaker A

So, on one hand we're talking about the words. The other question is talking about the book. While this to us is interchangeable, in reality, these are not interchangeable words.

Speaker A

They had the freedom to preserve or update the English Bible however the spirit led them. Consider the difference in philosophy between early English Bibles and modern versions.

Speaker A

Because if you were to ask me, "Where was the word of God before 1611?" My simple answer would be anywhere and in any generation that it was faithfully translated or preserved.

Speaker A

Every man doing that which is right in his own eyes. In fact, copyright laws are probably not too big of a deal for modern Bible publishers since every new translation has a different agenda. But in the era of the King James,

Speaker A

God's word is not bound by language or by time. God himself preserves it, and God himself can see to it that it is translated into other languages the way he sees fit.

Speaker A

Because what is called plagiarism today would have simply been viewed as proper transmission of truth back then. But imagine if copyright laws were formed one to two centuries earlier.

Speaker A

Just like he guided men to originally inspire it, God can guide men to preserve it. Because it's not man's job to preserve his word, it's the job of the Lord. It's God's own job. It's the spirit of truth who guides us into all truth.

Speaker A

And the hypothetical scenario we played out would be nearly impossible. Historically, the King James Bible came at a perfect window 100 years before copyright laws were implemented. [music] But the next consideration, the next part of our window, it bears far more weight than copyright.

Speaker A

So, where was God's word before 1611? It's the same as where it was after 1611, anywhere and everywhere that it was faithfully translated.

Speaker A

So, all of a sudden, we went from scribes hand copying every single letter rigorously where there was no uniformity to manuscripts at all. They were filled with errors, you know, when the scribe is getting sleepy and he makes a mistake

Speaker A

But where was God's book before 1611? That is a good question that we can ask because we're asking it specifically in the context of Isaiah 34:16.

Speaker A

we can see where the issues are and we can slowly correct those over time [music] until we start getting a more and more perfect Bible that's uniform, that's standardized. The King James Bible comes at a perfect time.

Speaker A

Isaiah 34:16 doesn't talk about the word of God to seek ye out of the word of God and read. It says to seek ye out of the book of the Lord.

Speaker A

Imagine God's book, the book of the Lord, being sought out by the entire world, but every single copy of that book was different.

Speaker A

A volume, a written record where it's all put together that anybody on the earth can seek out of and read. Where was that before 1611?

Speaker A

South America. But it's not just copyright laws and mass printing that formed this perfect window.

Speaker A

Well, it didn't even need to exist before 1611. Because Jesus hasn't returned for the last 400 years, right?

Speaker A

Not before 1611, but after 1611. You see, today we're 400 plus years after 1611.

Speaker A

God's book, his book of the Lord, is meant to be sought out in the end times to verify that all these things have come to pass.

Speaker A

400 years before 1611, it's estimated that there were 360 million people on this earth.

Speaker A

Let's look at the timing aspects of this because it starts to make a lot of sense why God would do it like this, or why God would wait until 1611. Why this was literally the perfect window in history to give us a book.

Speaker A

Do you see the exponential curve that happened after 1611? Where God's book is reaching more souls in history than ever before.

Speaker A

There's four different lenses, or if you will, let's take a window and divide it up into four different panes, and let's look at each one of those so I can show you why I believe this was the absolute perfect timing for God's book to show up on the earth.

Speaker A

When you look at it from the perspective of time, 1600 years, 400 years, it's like, well, that doesn't make sense that God would wait for 1600 years.

Speaker A

So, the first aspect of timing that I want to go over is related to copyright laws.

Speaker A

And all of a sudden from God's perspective, it makes a lot of sense why his book was revealed at a specific time when it could be reproduced and mass printed and sent to all these people on earth.

Speaker A

Hypothetical situation. Let's say you and I are Bible translators, and we have this Bible in our own language, and God himself has told us that this Bible in our hands is 95% correct.

Speaker A

end of this video. It was given to all of the world, to all nations, to everybody in the earth.

Speaker A

So, God has told us there's no guesswork here. We know with divine authority that this is God's perfect word, 95%.

Speaker A

the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian. And he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me." God knows what language the world is going to end up in. He's not going to give his perfect book in a language that

Speaker A

And God showed us where the 5% of the errors were. So, we know what we need to focus on, what we need to change before copyright laws come into effect, this is no issue. We can take this entire Bible, all 95% of its perfect contents, transferred directly into the revision, and simply update and fix the remaining 5%.

Speaker A

God can communicate to us and God is the author of language and he knew how all languages would turn out.

Speaker A

No copyright law, no issues. We can print that new Bible perfect according to the way God wants it without any issues, without any man-made obstacles.

Speaker A

When the King James Bible was first translated, only 1% of the world spoke English.

Speaker A

Now, the King James translators obviously didn't hear a voice from heaven saying that 5% of the Bible was incomplete, but their view was pretty similar in the sense that they already thought the Bible was excellent as is.

Speaker A

This was in a time where they had no idea the sort of impact this Bible would have.

Speaker A

It was probably 95% or more correct in their eyes. We affirm and avow that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English set forth by men of our profession containeth the word of God, nay, is the word of God.

Speaker A

People all around the world speak English. English language education is considered so crucial that 138 countries require English to be taught as part of the mandatory core curriculum. That's 70% of the countries [music] in the world. And another 40 offer it as an optional

Speaker A

To have the translations of the Bible maturely considered of and examined. For by this means it cometh to pass that whatsoever is sound already, and all is sound for substance in one or other of our editions.

Speaker A

Or for [music] example, Chinese. Chinese is spoken by over a billion people, but they almost all live in China.

Speaker A

And they were not compelled or constrained to alter the text just for the sake of legality.

Speaker A

But if you go outside of the United States, if you go outside of England, if you go outside of Australia, if you go outside of India, if you go outside of South Africa, you're you're still likely to be able to

Speaker A

They had the freedom to preserve or update the English Bible however the spirit led them. Consider the difference in ph

Speaker A

English became popular because the British Empire expanded across the globe [music] and because of media and because of now the internet, we have half of the internet in English.

Speaker A

So, not only is English this language that has spread across the world, it's not in this fluid state like language once was.

Speaker A

We now have these online dictionaries where you can go up and look any word.

Speaker A

So, it's really difficult to lose a word in English. We have it all at our fingertips now, [music] whereas people before, language would evolve. They didn't have dictionaries, they didn't have the resources, the internet at their disposal. They didn't have all these

Speaker A

things for a language to stay consistent over time. But now the world is structured so much different where language doesn't really have much reason to change.

Speaker A

So, what's interesting is that the King James Bible came into a language that would not only take over the world, it would take over the world permanently until Jesus Christ returns.

Speaker A

So, if you won't say it, I will. The timing of this book was perfect.

Speaker A

And the next time somebody asks, "Where was the perfect Bible before 1611?" You can bring up, "Well, copyright laws, mass printing, [music] the world population, and the English language are all good answers to your question." God knew exactly what he was doing when

Speaker A

he was giving us his perfect book which declares the testimony of his own son, Jesus Christ, which has his perfect law of [music] liberty, his pure words in the Old Testament and the new.

Speaker A

If I bear witness of myself, [music] my witness is not true. There is another that [music] beareth witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

Speaker A

Ye sent unto John, [music] and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive not testimony from man, but these things I say that ye might be saved.

Speaker A

He was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing [music] for a season to rejoice in his light.

Speaker A

But I have greater witness than that of John. For the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that [music] I do bear witness of me that the Father hath sent me.

Speaker A

And the Father himself, [music] which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice [music] at any time, nor seen his shape.

Speaker A

And ye have not his word abiding in you, for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

Speaker A

Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.
