How To Study The Bible
It seems odd, but the concept of studying the scripture to most Believers is totally foreign. It is, for this reason, most, if not all Non-Believers, simply can not see the relevance of The Bible whatsoever. To them, The Bible is just a bunch of ancient stories with very little real-life significance at all.
What both groups are missing is the realization, The Bible is not meant to be read, but rather it is meant to study. As a matter of fact, I’ll go so far as to make the following contentious statement:
To only read The Bible is Satanic to the core and to properly study the scripture unlocks profound knowledge, understanding, and wisdom needed for proper character development.
I once gave a sermon to an unsuspecting Methodist congregation who were by their very definition (Methodist), asleep at the wheel of understanding. After being introduced, I came to the podium, scanned the audience, held my Black, New King James Bible high in front of me, and continued the scan the audience for attention before stating the following sentence to the shock and gasp of everyone in the room…..
“Brethren, I hold before The Holy Bible. The most Satanic book on the planet.” 1996
That was well over 20 years ago and I knew so little compared to the knowledge and understanding I have gained since. However, I was not wrong in my opening statement. I knew full well what I was saying. The Bible, in its grossly mistranslated form, is 100% of Satan The Devil and the entire Christian world is totally deceived in this matter. The goal of this article is to hit the Believer between the eyes with such knowledge for the express purpose of jolting them into seeing the many ways we have all be deceived from the day we were born until now.
“So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9
It must be noted, all translations of The Bible, without exception, are highly distorted. They are perverted with a ‘covenant law is abolished’, ‘Israel’s identity is lost forever’, and ‘Jesus was divine’ slant. There are no exceptions, especially concerning the King James-based versions. What’s more, one can only come to the knowledge of this truth concerning just how misguided and twisted our Guide Book has become, after seeing what the truth is hidden in plain sight, if one has eyes to see and ears to hear.
So, how does one actually study The Scriptures?
Within this teaching, I will put forth three major tools that will start you on your way to the depths of knowledge concerning YHWH’s eternal word. There are more, but for now, this methodology should take the Believer who needs that before-mentioned jolt several miles down the road to a further understanding.
- The meanings and the root meanings of words.
You do not have to know how to speak Hebrew or Greek or even Aramaic, to be able to study and apply the meanings of keywords in any given text. The fact is, the task of applying word definitions is no different from perfecting our own English language. It’s a process of commanding the various languages via the author’s intent within the context of a passage.
Consider the following text:
“And The Almighty said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And The Almighty made the two great lights — the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night — and the stars. And The Almighty set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And The Almighty saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.” Genesis 1:14–19
Now we have a lot to discuss from this passage alone, however, for now, we need to address the word translated “made”, as in, “The Almighty MADE the two great lights”.
From the surface context, it would seem The Almighty actually waited and made (created from nothing) the sun and moon and the stars also on day four of the re-creation, but is that the case? 99% of all Bible Believers have concluded this to be the truth. The fact is, nothing could be further from the truth. The word translated ‘made” is the Hebrew word (H6213) Asah and it holds many meanings, not the least of which is to make or made in the past tense. Here is its Strong’s definition:
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance
Asah (H6213)
accomplish, advance, appoint, apt, be at, become, bear, bestow,
A primitive root; to do or make, in the broadest sense and widest application (as follows) — accomplish, advance, appoint, apt, be at, become, bear, bestow, bring forth, bruise, be busy, X certainly, have the charge of, commit, deal (with), deck, + displease, do, (ready) dress(-ed), (put in) execute(-ion), exercise, fashion, + feast, (fight-)ing man, + finish, fit, fly, follow, fulfill, furnish, gather, get, go about, govern, grant, great, + hinder, hold ((a feast)), X indeed, + be industrious, + journey, keep, labour, maintain, make, be meet, observe, be occupied, offer, + officer, pare, bring (come) to pass, perform, pracise, prepare, procure, provide, put, requite, X sacrifice, serve, set, shew, X sin, spend, X surely, take, X thoroughly, trim, X very, + vex, be (warr-)ior, work(-man), yield, use.
As you can see there is a wide range of uses and word applications for this word and since there is no root of this word, meaning it is a prime root, the question then becomes which of these many words, best fits Moses’ narrative? Before we answer that question outright, we must apply a little “here a little, there a little” methodology as Isaiah instructed in Isaiah 28:10.
Back in Genesis 1:1, it has already been established when The Almighty actually made the sun and moon and stars. Long before the first day of re-creation, in untold millions of years beforehand.
“In the beginning, The Almighty created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Are the sun and moon and the stars not in the heavens? Of course, they are. So, what is Moses speaking of here on day four of the re-creation of the earth, when he uses the word “made”?
Well, let's consider another passage that uses the Hebrew word Asah.
“For in six days The Eternal made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore The Eternal blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:11
Referring to Genesis 1:1…… When did The Almighty make (create from nothing) the heavens and the earth? Was it on day four or was it millions of years beforehand?
After thinking critically through these three passages, applying the definitions Jimmy Strong provides for us to choose from, it becomes clear, The Almighty appointed the sun, moon, and stars from their time keeping purpose in the heavens. Just like setting the hands of a great clock in the heavens, YHWH’s appointment of these heavenly bodies consisted of moving the bodies to their correct places in the heavens, then assigning their speed in orbit that fit His Appointed Time calendar.
So, the question arises, are all the Bible translations wrong in the use of their translated word “made” in Genesis 1:16? They are 100% wrong….. All of them. This is just one example of the Satanic gross mistranslations of the so-called Holy Bible that causes Believers to walk down a clear path of deception. There are literally untold thousands more, we have to deal with these and set them straight in our own theology.
2. Compare the Hebrew-based text with the Greek-based text from the LXX.
We will stick with this passage from Genesis 1:16 and address number two of the ways Believers can get to the bottom of some of these deceptions. Again, allow me to remind you of the passage and keyword in question this time.
“And The Almighty made two great lights; the greater light to RULE the day, and the lesser light to RULE the night: he made the stars also.” Genesis 1:16
The word “rule” is not a bad translation from Hebrew, however, it does denote an incorrect understanding of what the main roles of the sun and moon actually are. Allow me to introduce The LXX.
The LXX is the Roman numeral for the number 70. It is the short way of identifying the translation of the scriptures Christ Himself read and quoted from….. The Septuagint (LXX). The fact is Yeshua and the rest of the New Testament writers quoted from the LXX around 350 times, whereas the count they quoted from the MSS (The Hebrew Text) was around 35 times. That’s ten times the amount of times the LXX was preferred over the Hebrew scriptures.
The Septuagint of the scriptures is the Greek Old Testament scriptures. Genesis through Malachi. They are the word of 70 scholars who held a vast understanding of both Greek and Paleo-Hebrew texts. They were translated in the 3rd century BCE, in a period of time between the two Testaments of The Bible.
The advantage of using the LXX in our studies today can not be understated. Because we have this gold standard of the scriptures, we can easily check up on the Hebrew-based translations to either see if the Masoretic Text (Hebrew scriptures) has gotten it right or if there is a deeper understanding that we can glean from any given text. So, let’s take a look at this passage from the LXX.
“And The Almighty made the two great luminaries. The greater luminary for the BEGINNINGS of the day and the lesser luminary for the BEGINNINGS of the night, and the stars.” Genesis 1:16 LXX
So, should the true translation be “to rule” or “for the beginnings of”?
It is here, we will exercise one of the aspects of the first point made, where we have to go to the root of the word to gather all the meaning needed to make a determination of what the author is trying to convey. So, first, let’s look at the word in question from the Greek Strong’s Concordance.
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance
G746 Arche’
magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule.
From archo (G757); (properly abstract) a commencement, or (concretely) chief (in various applications of order, time, place, or rank) — beginning, corner, (at the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule.
The words, “From archo” denotes this word has a root word that must be considered. Archo (G757) is defined as follows:
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance
Archo (G757)
to begin, rule over.
A primary verb; to be first (in political rank or power) — reign (rule) over.
From this information about the word family Moses chose to convey his meaning from, and the further understanding of the men YHWH chose to preserve His word in the third century BCE, we can see, the word is best translated “beginning of” and if it was translated “to rule”, then it would be the rulership not of power, but rather, that of being first in line, as in The King is first in line to be saved is there is trouble. It is a rank of power, not power itself.
And finally, let's address a third point of bible study, way too many Believers just do not know.
3. The Biblical Scholars who have translated The Bible, all versions of The Bible, hold a definite modern Judeo-Christian slant, distorting the truth.
Again, let’s keep our examples in Genesis chapter one.
“And The Almighty said, Let there be light: and there was light. And The Almighty saw the light, that it was good: and The Almighty divided the light from the darkness. And The Almighty called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:3–5 King James Bible
The statement, “And the evening and the morning were the first day”, is simply a very poor translation at best and an outright lie to be brutally honest. I mean, we could chalk this one up to ignorance but we are talking about the people given the task of delivering YHWH’s word to His people. They surely would have known this one, right? I’ll tell you what, you be the judge. Ignorance or outright Jewish deception?
“And called The Almighty, the light day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning, day first.” Genesis 1:5 From The Hebrew Interlinear.
And from The LXX…..
“And The Almighty Called the light, Day. And the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, day one.” Genesis 1:5 From The LXX
So, the order of events on the first day and each of the six re-creation days from Genesis chapter 1 is as follows:
Event 1 each 24 hour day — Light Breaks.
Event 2 each 24 hour day — YHWH does all His work.
Event 3 each 24 hour day — Evening comes
Event 4 each 24 hour day — Night comes
Event 5 each 24 hour day — The light of morning breaks ending the previous day, beginning a new day.
So the question would be did the King James Translators willingly mislead the Bible readers? You are mighty DAMN right they did. The Bastards will have their day in court for it, too. And this is just one example of the many hundreds if not thousands of times such lies are spun, all in the name of upholding Judaism. I’ll mince no words for my hatred of the mark Judeo-Christian scribes have left on would-be true Believers. May they all burn in hell. And just in case, you think I’m too harsh, just know, that is YHWH's very sentiment. Go read Revelation 21:8.
READ your Bible if you want to, but just know, you’re reading a cover-to-cover lie. STUDY your Bible, using all the resources YHWH has left for us to glean from and you grow in grace and knowledge accordingly.
