Hi Niobe,

 

We need a good instruction manual to discover the many features.  It would help.

 

Thank you for all you do.   Great work.

Thanks

Hi all,

 

If you would like a little more understanding of the Pre, Mid, & Post Tribulation check this out:

 

I am going to state what I have found out as I study the End Times. Some of this is found in my Study Bible Set.  I try very hard to Merismos the Scriptures.

 

H30157

The POWER Of 3’s In The WORD Of GOD  H430

1. First Dimension   2. Second Dimension   3. Third Dimension

 

Tribulation:

1. Pre-Tribulation = The Church (Jews and Gentiles) Rev_4:1;

2. Mid-Tribulation = 144,000 Jews Rev_14:1-4; Gentiles - Rev_15:2;

3. Post-Tribulation = Jews and Gentiles Rev_20:4;

 

H30136

The POWER Of 3’s In The WORD Of GOD  H430

1. First Dimension   2. Second Dimension   3. Third Dimension

 

Rapture: Gathering Together

 1. Caught Up - 1Th_4:17; 

 2. Changed - 1Co_15:51; 

 3. Come Up - Rev_4:1; 

 

H30156

Jews and the Church (Type): or H30157

1. Mary = Church Joh_20:11-18;

2. 10 disciples = 144,000 Jews Joh_20:19-24;

Jewish Harvest:

1. Barley Harvest Rth_1:22; Rth_2:23; 2Sa_21:9; Joe_1:11; Rev_4:1; 

2. Wheat Harvest Gen_30:14; Exo_34:22; Num_18:12; Deu_8:8; Jdg_15:1; Rth_2:23; 1Sa_6:13; 1Sa_12:17; Mat_3:12; Rev_7:1; 

3. Grape Harvest Gen_40:10; Num_13:20; Deu_24:21; Isa_5:2; Isa_18:5; Isa_63:3; Rev_14:17-20; Rev_19:15; 

 

Put all the 1's together, 2's and 3's and you will see more of what I am trying to say.

 

The Trumpet in 1Th 4:16; 1Co 15:52 - the last... is the last trumpet of the Jewish feasts. It cannot be the 7th trumpet of Rev because Paul wrote before John wrote Rev.

 

From the Reference Topic:

JWTcJC - Jewish Wedding Traditions Compared to the Relationship between Jesus Christ and his Bride the Church

The Rapture is found in the Old Testament:

RnExo - The Rapture in Exo_19:1-25 and The Coming of The Lord:

AinBG - The Apocolypse (End Times) in The Book of Genesis:

 

also for the Rapture: Isa 26:19-21 = Mat 25:1-13; Mat 25:11-12 = Mat 7:21-23 (Lord Lord)

Nah_1:2 =1Th 5:9 wrath for His enemies not his Church; wrath of Lamb Rev 6:16-17 or the wrath of Christ - Punish men who mistreated the Church who is the Bride of Christ.  The Wrath of God is to those who mistreated Israel, who God is married to.

 

check out my set to see what I am talking about. 

 

thanks

Hi all,

 

These are quotes from:

grP:

 

This translation is closest to the KJV version with most of the archaic "thees and thous" and verb forms updated. It occasionally uses some of the NKJV sentence structure to make it more flowing. 

   Having said that, I do have a negative; the translator allowed personal theology to overrule context in translating some words.  For example in John 1 when John the Baptist discusses his baptism, he is either explicitly or implicitly comparing it to that baptism of Jesus which is to come.  Therefore, the author's note on John 1:31, in which he states he chose "baptizing in water" instead of "baptizing with water," because the scriptural method of baptism is immersion shows his bias.  The use of the word "with" is more appropriate as this is not a discussion of "how" to baptize, but a comparison of John's medium of baptism (water) with that of Jesus (fire / Holy Spirit).  Baptism with the Holy Spirit, as first described in Acts, came as tongues of fire on the heads of the disciples in the upper room.  This allows for a non-immersion experience of the Holy Spirit baptism.

   It is necessary to faithfully translate according to the context and not our personal theology.  Having said that, I prefer immersion to sprinkling; however, if there is not enough water (such as is possible with the Ethiopian eunuch), I am sure the Lord will honor the heart's intent under the circumstances.

 

For Katoog: instead of name calling which is hardly a loving thing to do, point out where my comments are in error. A famous author once said that we are to have "Unity in the essentials, liberty in the non-essentials, and charity [love] in all things."  The world loves a good name calling fight among Christians; however, Paul admonishes us to take care of these arguments among ourselves, so please stick to a scholarly appraisal of my comments and disperse with the accusations.

  Having said that, and having used this translation for 24 hours now, I would like to downgrade my rating for this translation to 1.0 stars. I have found some minor points of irritation and some major points of translation in just one day while using this translation.  Let me state that I really wanted to like it; even going to comparing it word for word with the KJV and NKJV versions (my favorites for which I would gladly pay to have in MySword).  I was hoping that this would prove to be a suitable substitute for the NKJV.

  Minor point of irritation: the (p) marking that constantly appears indicating, I assume, the plural of you, yourselves, etc. The context of the verse is usually clear about this and in those cases where it isn't, one can switch to the KJV in MySword to access the Strong's definitions or the commentaries to clarify.

  Minor point of irritation: the often appearing () with alternative translations of the word. For example, 1Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore comfort (exhort) yourselves (p) together and edify one another, even as also you (p) do."  The main idea of this verse is comfort in the times of trouble they were at that time facing. To add "(exhort)" while allowable, is not the best choice for what Paul was trying to say and is the choice of the KJV and NKJV versions. See also 2 Thessalonians 1:8 "... taking (yielding) vengeance ..." where "taking" or even "giving" which is the main definition for the Greek is the obvious choice and "yielding" is not only less clear, but also the least preferred definition of the Greek.

  Major point of translation: The adding of these "(parenthesis)" is deceptive as they indicate that what is contained within them is part of the verse. To indicate a translator's comments, one should use "[brackets] which indicate a note or comment or clarification by the translator.  Better yet, leave all such comments in the commentary where they belong.

  Major point of translation: 1 Thessalonians 5:9 "For God has not appointed us to wrath (of the Lamb), but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ." This added comment "(of the Lamb)" is a gross error.  Except for one reference in Revelation 6:16, it is always God's wrath which is referenced.  The point in this verse is the comparison of God's wrath on unbelievers with the "salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ."  As John 3:16-17 points out, Jesus is God's plan to save us from His (God's) judgment / wrath.

Major point of translation: 2 Thessalonians 2:2 "... the Day of Christ (Lord; tribulation) is at hand (present, here and now)." The original Greek is Kristos which is never translated "Lord" or "tribulation;" to do so is a gross error.

Major point of translation: 2 Thessalonians 2:3 "... for that day shall not come (don't be worried as if that day is present) ..." again the translator is editorializing and by using "()" it appears the words are actually in the verse.  Worse though, in this same verse is "... except (unless) there comes a falling away G646 (departure or rapture) first, .."  The Greek 646 apostasia means "a falling away, defection, or apostasy." If you click on the hyperlink G646 in this translation, it will take you to that exact definition.  That link will also tell you that there are only two occurrences of that word in the New Testament: Acts 21:21 "forsake," and here in this verse "a falling away."  Almost all commentators agree that this is an apostasy which reflects Jesus' wondering if there will be any faith when he returns (Luke 18:8).  The whole idea of the word is not a physical departure, but a defection or distancing from truth.  To claim it to be synonym for the rapture is doing violence to the text and it is either by ignorance of correct translation methodology or intentional theological bias. I wish to state at this time that I do believe in the rapture; however, this passage has nothing to say directly about it.

Conclusion: if the author would have stuck to the translation without the distracting shorthand symbols; left out the extraneous parenthetical alternate wording; and most decisively stopped trying to add his commentary to the passages, I would find this a most suitable substitute for the NKJV.  However, and this is a major however, the use of this translation, in its current form, is dangerous to the new believer and immature believer both.

 

DSaw:

 

grP with all do respect  the name of it is Patchworkid's study bible set,

It is, his personal study of the bible using other resources and his interpretations and understanding of those passages witch he shares with us

I cannot speak for him but I don't think his intentions where for his bible to be used as a stand only bible

 

Like DSaw says, this is my own personal Study Bible Set. I am sharing this with Biblesupport.com.  This is not a standard to go by but mainly KJ Bible.  The way my Bible look like is the way I would write in my leather bound Bible.

 

If anyone wrote in their bible, What would it look like? This is what mine would look like.

 

thanks

[patchworkid]

hi all,

 

as you can see I have uploaded a new version of my set. Here is some changes.

The bible is mainly in black no colors (if you want the old ones that has the color) let me know.

The big long winded checking of the dictionary is sorted.  it has only one entry not scattered.

In the bible:

* = in the bible is the original paragraph form kjb.

[w] = word; [d] = definition (built in bible) from kjb

(p) = Plural ; (s) = Singular

 

The teaching topic module is more clearer (entries)

plus loads of extras (in cmt and MySword)

 

thanks

[AllofUs]

Hi Patch,

 

Thank you for the update.  Yes, I would like to have the colored bible version.  I believe I still have one of the original versions...not sure.  

 

Is it possible to get the update you just released with color and without the color?

[patchworkid]

Hi AllofUs,

 

only for the new version of e-Sword is mainly in black and white. MySword version is in full color. For me to do the e-Sword version in color will take me months which right now I do not have time.

 

thanks
