THE SEPTUAGINT AND THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MESSIAH The October issue of the Prophecy Watcher’s magazine features my article on why the Septuagint and not the Masoretic Text (the basis of today’s Protestant Bible) tells the truth about who the Messiah is. I believe this article should be read by every Christian who cares about […]

The Septuagint (LXX) Compared to the Masoretic Text Judaism was in a crisis after the Temple was destroyed in AD 70.

The King James Bible Contained the Apocrypha? DO TELL! Much to the chagrin of King James Only advocates, it isn’t just Catholic and Orthodox Bibles that include the Apocrypha. The early editions of the King James Bible, including the revered 1611 KJV, also contained the Apocrypha. It is a part of our history, and despite […]

Only a few short years after the destruction of Herod’s Temple, the rabbis (aka “sages”) formed an instruction academy in the village of Jamnia (outside of today’s Tel Aviv), allegedly with permission directly from Titus himself to preserve the Jewish religion.
