JAMES VI and IKing James VI (of Scotland) and I (of England) commissioned the Authorized translation of the Bible in 1604, and developed rules for the translators. The first edition was in 1611. The King James Bible 1611 is considered the most accurate English translation of the Bible. The Apocrypha (which means "things that are hidden, secret") was included in this Version of The Bible.
[T]he ‘Apocrypha’ was in every Christian Bible until 1828. In 1828 these books were taken out of some Bibles. The translators of the King James Bible said that these books were written to prepare the people for Jesus , in the same way as John the Baptist did." (from Simple English Wikipedia) King James was a defender of the faith. He boldly challenged false Bible teachings by the Catholic Church, and by others. He obviously had dark skin although his skin color has been changed in some paintings. The King was an Israelite of the tribe of Judah. He was the founding monarch of Great Britain. With Jamestown, founded in 1607, being the first permanent English colony in America, he also founded the United States. He is the first and true human founding father of the United States who firmly, and unwaveringly hearkened to the Word of The Most High. Because of the Divinely Inspired translation of the Bible, the prophecy of the return of the Children of Israel (includes the so-called African Americans) is true. But African Americans must show their faith and obedience by fearing God, having faith until the end regardless of how bad it gets, and keeping all His Laws, Statutes, and Commandments. (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Love and do everything in the Bible. The recent false teaching which states the Law does not apply anymore is brilliantly making so-called African Americans curse themselves possibly into another exile. (Deuteronomy 28). |
![]() The Lessons of the Lachish Captivity
Under the first king of Judah, King Rehoboam (reign, 931 B.C.- 913 B.C.), Lachish became the second most important city of the Kingdom of Judah. During Old Testament times Lachish served an important protective function in defending Jerusalem and the interior of Judea. Lachish was one of several city/forts guarding the canyons that lead up to Jerusalem and greater Judea. Lachish was one of the most fortified cities of Judah. It had an army of chariots and fast horses. In Micah 1:13 (KJV), the prophet delivers a Divine warning: "O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee." Under King Rehoboam the introduction to sin included Levitical priests of The Most High being sent to the fortified cities to be priests to false gods. (2 Chronicles 11). The sinful people chose to turn their backs on this Divine warning in Micah and instead trusted in its army and the city's fortified walls. Because of the unrepentant sins of the people, they received Divine Judgment. (Click here for an artist depiction of the Lachish Siege.) In Isaiah 36:1-2 (KJV) it is written: "Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them." In 701 BC, during the revolt of King Hezekiah against Assyria, the city was captured by Sennacherib despite the inhabitants' determined resistance. "The Lachish Relief is a set of Assyrian stone panels narrating the story of the Assyrian victory over the Kingdom of Judah during the siege of Lachish in 701 B.C. Carved between 700-681 B.C, as a decoration of the South-West Palace of Sennacherib in Nineveh," (Exhibited at the British Museum in London). These two portions of the Lachish Relief depict Israelites being taken into captivity. The town later reverted to Judaean control, only to fall to Nebuchadnezzar in his campaign against Judah (586 BC), another Divine Judgment and exile that eventually led to the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and another dispersal and captivity of Israelites throughout the world. The lessons of the Lachish Captivity is if you turn your back on The Most High or His Laws, Statutes, and the Commandments, you will have the Divine Judgments promised in the Bible. ![]() This map of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade (1500's A.D. to 1867 A.D.) of captivity of Israelites and the above map are fulfillments of the curse in Deuteronomy 28:64: "And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone."
NOTE: THE "other gods" IS EVIDENT IN ISRAELITES IN AMERICA SAYING THAT THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO THEM. THIS IS SOMETHING GENTILES WOULD UNKNOWINGLY SAY, BUT NOT ISRAELITES SINCE ISRAELITES WERE ORIGINALLY GIVEN THE LAW AT MOUNT SINAI AND SHOULD BE DEFENDING AND HONORING IT. CHRIST FOLLOWED ALL OF THE LAW. THE "other gods" might be the pagans gods of Sunday (sun god), Valentine's Day, Christmas, and more.)
