Hello Brandon It may be just a coincidence. Trumpets in the OT 49 times (7x7) and Trump ( 2 times ) in the NT. Also The king of Israel 777 times. I am the Lord thy God (7 times ) and Church (77 times ) in NT. thanks for your work for HIS Glory ////
Trump’s birth 14/6/1946 to Israel’s birth 14/5/1948 is 700 days exactly. He was 70 years 7 months 7 days in 21/1/2017, first full day as President (inauguration at 20/1/2017 noon). Next January 21st he will be 77 years 7 months 7 days old. His hole in one was hole number 7. He ordered the Embassy to move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and inaugurated it on 14/5/2018, 70 years after Israel was born. The precision is to the day! MAGA!
@@Genesis-rx7vnyou know Trump is the anti Christ right? Maga is the highest form for membership in the satanic church… you want me to provide the proof?? Trump is not to be trusted he is going to lead many to the slaughter house
@@Genesis-rx7vnTrump LOST the Presidency, FAIR AND SQUARE! Giuliani’s ILLEGAL interference is proof of him losing his court case to pay $148 MILLION. Your MAGA cronies, Nazi skin heads confederate flag waving Grade 6 drop outs are going to see what happens s when you break the law that no one is above the law as you will find out as the rest of the world that Donald Trump is not above the law. As Christians (which Trump is not one) we are to follow what the Word of God says with discernment, with knowledge, with the Holy Spirit leading us, you are not being led by the Holy Spirit if you follow Donald Trump. The rapist. The fraudster. The slanderer. The betrayer. The user. The biggest liar. How’s that fruit of the Spirit? He still hasn’t even been tried for leaking the submarine secrets to his billionaire friend from Australia from his big mouth . HE’S DONE. This is coming from someone who is not a democrat, a Republican I’m not even an American, but what I am is a Christian that loves the Word of God, who loves Jesus, and who loves the truth, and who loves Justice .
Trump is NOT CHRIST, NOR is he a saviour of any kind. He is a man, and we are NEVER to reverence to ANY man! That is man worship and idolatry by pure definition. Do not be deceived by any man. "Let GOD be true, and EVERY man a LIAR."
This video was actually very helpful, thank you. There are many as I'm sure you know that attempt to smear King James name and character and many say that he was Catholic. And I just saw you read it from King James own pen that he was not Catholic. That's a very impressive Bible collection and cute dog as well. I purchased 2 copies of your "Sealed by the King" books today. 1 for me and 1 for my brother. I love the cover as well as the content. Going to be my coffee table book.
I would like to add that after the derogatory comments, people who have read the KJB and failed to see this is God speaking, failed to see that it's perfectly translated to say what God intended, these people have not the spirit of God in them.
Thank you for the explanation. I knew they weren’t the same as the Old & New Testament (not inspired), but your explanation really has cleared up a lot of questions I had. Things I read online were really confusing & contradictory, but this helped me understand.
I never have read the Apocrypha. I was tempted a time or two, but the question always came into my mind, "why?" The KJV that I read is all I really need. It has been with me through thick and thin and has provided answers to all my questions for all of my life. Why would I need to read something questionable. Thank you for the information. I have never looked up the definition of apocrypha either. It makes sense.💯
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
Well, I did notice. Since the churches went off the basic KJB in 1970 We started opening stores on sundays, and going off the GOLD STANDARD 1971 the term: Every TOM. DICK. & HARRY may have come from 1 samuel 25:22, 34 They didn't want to read it aloud ♂️🤣
I love the Apocrypha. It explains so much about the Bible, it gives the background of the more obscure passages . These books are from God for me. I bought the Ethiopian Bible, it is huge and contains 88 books.
As you pointed out, the King James Bible always kept the apocrypha separate from scripture and made sure they were clearly labeled as such since they knew they were not inspired. I have read that Roman Catholic Jesuits had infiltrated and were the ones pushing for the inclusion of the apocrypal books. The translators as godly men led by God saw through them and only included them for their historical purpose, but made sure to keep them separate from God's word. My book Roman Catholicism: Her False Doctrines, Corrupt bibles, and Violent, Sinful History on Amazon or Barnes and Noble gives many examples of the contradictions and corruption found in the Apocrypha for anyone interested. King James was led by the Lord and was wise in the dangers of Roman Catholicism. The Roman Catholic Church failed to stop the production of the KJB from the failed gunpowder plot that attempted to kill the king to adding the apocrypha and this is why they rushed production of the Douay-Rheims bible so that Roman Catholics would read their corrupted words versus the inspired words of God found in the KJB. They failed as many Roman Catholics hated the DR and read the KJB instead. God bless you Brandon and keep up the great work. Thank you for showing the Bibles as examples for those who may not have their own copy to see. Also as you stated the very fact that no number patterns are found in the apocrypha proves they are not inspired along with those things the translators described.
I will check out your book, but there are plenty of times where great men of God have mentioned these Apocryphal books and other books by name. For example, 2 Samuel 1:18 and Joshua 10:13 specifically refer to the Book of Jasher: Samuel 1:17👉🏾 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: 18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.) Joshua 10:13 👉🏾And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. According to these two scriptures, How can you claim The Book of Jasher is not inspired Word of God when this book is specifically mentioned by name in 2 different cannon books??
@@AchiCharles there was a books of anybody and different author in those they but it is a mean to be include The king james is the final 7 refindot the bible what ever books niw in KingJsmes version is the final of the Holy Spirit who inspired those trnslator it is up to you and me to believed it or not. believed
It is very important to be knowledgeable about what the apocrypha books are and have the ability to read with good discernment before jumping into them. They were never intended to be read as the written Word of God, but as records of events, good reads, or as inspirational stories to read. The Geneva and 1611 Bibles give you a pretty good book heading and chapter heading through them giving you their input. I read through the books of the Apocrypha in the 1611 or the Geneva Bible from time to time and have found some things written that certainly have benefit to them, but I also don’t recommend them to babes in Christ or children. My favorite Bible to read from is the Oxford university press 1611 400th anniversary edition. I can read it very fluently and there is a wonderful anointing upon it. Most people don’t understand that the 1611 isn’t full of misspelled words, but written according to the original English alphabet and the way those certain words were pronounced and written by most during that time. I wish someone would make a premium soft leather and premium paper 1611.
As I watched this, I was thinking that I should add a note about why the Apocrypha was included. However, in your reading of the book about the translators you pretty much covered it. Nice detail.
This was very timely. I’ve been asked about the apocrypha before and my first thought was that it completely messes up God’s perfect count in His word. Thank you for posting this.
@@GodisGracious1031Ministries the Greek word means “to conceal”. The Webster dictionary goes on further to say, “Literally such things as are not published; but in an appropriate sense, books whose authors are not known; whose authenticity, as inspired writings, is not admitted, and which are therefore not considered a part of the sacred canon of the scripture. When the Jews published their sacred books, they called them canonical and divine; such as they did not publish, were called apocryphal. The apocryphal books are received by the Romish Church as canonical, but not by Protestants.”
The word apocrypha originally meant hidden, and referred to books that should be read in private, not public settings as in church. The definition has changed over the years largely due to the Protestant perspective of the books in question. The change being causative in nature tends to lessen the value of its use in your example. There are other reasons to question the inclusion of the apocryphal or deuterocanonical books inclusion in the Bible, but current definition of apocrypha is not one of them in my humble opinion.
Very good and concise treatise of the topic of apocrypha. Two things I wanna add though: - The only reason why these were part of the KJB-editions of the past is the following: When the KJB 1611 came out, it was still required by law to print them with God's word. I don't know when they finally got rid of that law, but nowadays the influence of the Catholic church (which of course was behind the installment of this law) has been pushed back far enough so we can have an actual and true edition of the word of God without any uninspired ballast. - I thought for some time (like so many, unfortunately) that Jude 14 quotes the "book of Enoch". Well, it doesn't say that. It only says that Enoch prophesied something. Anyone could have made up this "book of Enoch" at any given time after the NT was published, and - by copying this prophecy - fool some of the readers into believing Jude quoted from this book. Noone mess with the book of the LORD!
There are plenty of times where great men of God have mentioned these Apocryphal books and other books by name. For example, 2 Samuel 1:18 and Joshua 10:13 specifically refer to the Book of Jasher: Samuel 1:17👉🏾 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: 18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. How do you explain these scriptures?
I loved this teaching and Remember the Gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 : Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures and we have to put our trust in his blood Romans 3 24-26 : 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. And You are saved through faith in his blood alone it is a free GIFT of God and not through your works lest any man should boast! So remember that faith means you believe and trust it and the moment you trust the blood Gospel you are saved and if you want to tell that too God it should come from the Heart! God bless you
Amen brother Brandon, very good info. I made a comment on someone else's video a while back explaining to them the reason why the Apocrypha was in the 1611 King James Bible in the first place. I would like to post that comment here as a supplement to the point of your video, if you don't mind, to show further proof that the Apocrypha is not part of the inspired canon of Scripture. This is the post I left (copied and pasted): The King James Bible was put out _(officially speaking)_ by the Anglican Church of England. It was translated by 54 Anglican scholars; half of which were Bishops, and half of which were Puritans. So what did the Church of England believe concerning the canon of inspired Scripture? Take a look at this paragraph in the sixth article of the Anglican _Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion:_ *VI. Of the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation.* "And the other Books (as Hierome saith) the Church doth read *_for example of life and instruction of manners; but yet doth it not apply them to establish any doctrine;_* such are these following: The Third Book of Esdras The Fourth Book of Esdras The Book of Tobias The Book of Judith The rest of the Book of Esther The Book of Wisdom Jesus the Son of Sirach Baruch the Prophet The Song of the Three Children The Story of Susanna Of Bel and the Dragon The Prayer of Manasses The First Book of Maccabees The Second Book of Maccabees" You can read the entire sixth article online if you want. But as you can see, the Church of England did NOT accept the Apocrypha as inspired Scripture. This is why the translators placed the Apocrypha _IN BETWEEN_ the Old and New Testaments. They did _not_ place the Apocryphal books in the Old Testament canon as the Catholic Church does. Therefore, the Apocrypha was never actually printed _IN_ the King James Bible, it was printed _WITH_ the King James Bible. So in conclusion: the translators printed the Apocrpyah with the King James Bible simply because it has historical value and good wisdom in it. Nobody believed it was inspired Scripture. But what really matters the most is... _what do the Scriptures say about the canon of Scripture?_ Let me show you: Matthew 23:35 (KJV) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, *_from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias,_* whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. In this verse, Jesus Christ references Abel's death in Genesis (Gen. 4:8) and Zechariah's death in 2 Chronicles (2Chr. 24:20-21), which is (chronologically, and the way the Jewish Hebrew Bible is laid out) the entire 39 books of the Hebrew O.T. (Apocrypha not included). Better yet: Luke 24:44 (KJV) And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in *_the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me._* In this verse, Jesus Christ lays out the official canon of the Hebrew Bible the same exact way the Jews do: The Law of Moses = The Torah. The Prophets = The Nevi'im. The Psalms (aka "The Writings") = The Ketuvim. These three sections of the Hebrew Bible constitute the entire 39 books of the Hebrew O.T. (Apocrypha is yet again not included). It is also worth noting that the Apocryphal books are never quoted by Jesus Christ or the Apostles. Rather, the Apocryphal books quote the inspired Scriptures in an attempt to validate themselves. And the _Septuagint (or LXX),_ being the very text of the corrupted Alexandrian O.T. manuscripts, and the _only_ manuscripts that the Apocryphal books are found in, is dated to be from around 350 A.D. at the very earliest, which is well after the New Testament was completed. This shows that there was no "B.C." Apocryphal books, as there never was any such thing as a "B.C." Septuagint (that's right, Jesus never used the Septuagint, neither did the Apostles). This proves that the Apocrypha is not inspired Scripture.
The Maccabees happened during what I call the "400yrs of silence gap between the ending of the OT and the beginning of the NT"...but yeah the Apocrypha is NOT inspired, if anything it probably has a bit of truth and lies in it, which means its corrupted text. God Bless@@kathleenking47
Many of my fellow flat earthers wrongly assert that the Book of Enoch and other non-canonical writings belong in the pure, perfect King James Bible. They definitely do not!
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
I was personally inspired by the Apocrypha books. ❤In my experience the modern day versions of the Bible is vague and leaves much to be desired. The Apocrypha books is an indept account and exploration of the scripture. Everyone must decide for themselves what they regard as inspired or not. GOD has given us all the Authority to decide for ourselves and to test everything.❤
Awesome, i had previously in the comments on another video of yours asked about this topic and this has helped clear it up. Thanks mate, cheers Joel from the land down under
Enoch, in my humble opinion, is extra reading for those that already know, love, and beleeue, The Word of God. It was left out to see if we will find IT.
I believe it is the little scroll with a taste of honey mentioned in Revelation. The Bitterness of stomach it gives is because once you realize what it means, what angels are and the 364 day year... you see the lies in the world, and Satans footprints everywhere.@@godsbulldog1800
Found your channel a while ago and have been watching all your videos ans the question of "apocrypha was included in kjb until 1885, would your counts work with them included?". Glad i found this video. However i still wonder whether your counts work when placing the apocrypha additions in their appropriate positions of the OT.
Hey Brandon, I've been watching a few of your videos recently and its reawakened an old question I've had around KJV. You make a very compelling case I have to say. Do you have or can you recommend a quality high level overview of the manuscript history? I've been looking and reading, watching, and everything seems either piece meal, incomplete or super technical. I feel I may have no choice but to do my own detailed research and write something up. However, I would prefer it if something already exists and I figure you may be the one to know?
What is that book on your bookshelf in the background? It appears to be titled: The True Standard by Colston? I have never heard about that book. I was wondering if you could give me any information about it. I am always looking for new books and material on the King James Bible. Thanks, and great video by the way.
I believe it was self-printed. If you look up the channel on RUclips called 33rd Book, he unfortunately doesn't upload anymore but that book is his. It's a large collection of comparisons between the KJB and modern translations.
@@TruthisChrist2 Hey Brandon, thanks for all your videos on the KJB as I have watched them all. However, I would have to disagree with you about the Apocryphal books. For a number of reasons that I hope you would consider and respond to me about: 1) If the Apocryphal books were included in the specific version of the 1611 KJV which you say is the inspired version that God himself chose to put his stamp on as the version we should use today, (I believe you even said on another video that the KJV even supersedes the Hebrew) then why would you take it upon yourself to not include those books in your word studies? 2) There are plenty of times where great men of God have mentioned these Apocryphal books and other books by name. For example, 2 Samuel 1:18 and Joshua 10:13 specifically refer to the Book of Jasher: Samuel 1:17👉🏾 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: 18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.) Joshua 10:13 👉🏾And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 3) The reasons you gave are not strong enough. So just because they have the word “Apocrypha” printed on the top of the heading of the page instead of the brief description of what is going on in the other 66 canon books, does that mean it is not the inspired word of God? That makes no sense to me. Also, why do you go to a man-made definition of the word “Apocrypha” to attempt to prove its validity? Can’t man just call it that to imply that it’s not inspired Word of God just so they can make an excuse to remove it? 4) Finally, you also mentioned that the Apocryphal books were not written in Hebrew. Well, by that same logic you would have to get rid of the whole New Testament except for the book of Matthew and Revelation which were the only New Testament books written in Hebrew language initially. These are just a few thoughts. Please let me know what you think about this as I am open to learn. Thanks and God Bless! ❤
My two cent's. I like the book of Enoch. I think it us for after people already beleeue The Holy Bible is The Word of God. It is exciting to loue His Word.
How do you explain the Non-canonical books referenced in the Bible, and by Jesus himself? I am not saying there are inspired to be in the canon, but there are definitely books that are referenced to in the bible, and from Jesus, as being "scripture", which can not be found in the canon. How do you reconcile that please? (a quick google search will give you a list of these)
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
Very helpful, I really appreciate all the hours of studying you do to fill us in on so many mysteries of Gods word. We get to open it all up with a single click…Thank you. Question…I’m looking to get a new Bible and I’m wondering which one you would suggest, a Cambridge, Oxford, or another. I want each word with the correct capitalization. It’s so confusing now, even the KJV has so many modifications. Can you help direct me?
One of the best wise sayings I found in apocryphical writings like the Gospel of Thomas where he says: If stuff is made out of Spirit, it is a wonder. If Spirit is made out of stuff, it is even a bigger wonder. Definititly out of the Book of Life. 🍷😁
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
The word Apocrypha comes from the Greek word apokrýptein, which means "to WEDGE IN BETWEEN" So silly many are against it and say its not inspired but never show proof at all but use definition from sources that's against the Apocrypha.... Look up ten reasons why the Apocrypha is false and then see if thats true you will find many of their points are just not true at all.
I wonder if some of the apocryphal books were Satan inspired. I have seen So many people ignore the true Holy Bible to obsess over the books of Enoch. It makes it a form of idolatry.
A lot of people quote things that sound like Bible aren't, its jsut something that our heads do if we hear something over and over.. like lion and the lamb @@sandralund429
YES it sure does. sandralund429 Because MAN and NOT GOD wrote those Apocryphal falsehoods and man tried to pass them off as scripture , inspire by God . And they were not. And of course they are all of the Alexandrian culture back then, fellowshipping with those Gnostics, and Christ Rejectors of that city, who hated Christ Diety , the BLOOD of Christ, and hated Salvation by Grace. This is a bad bunch we are dealing with there Gus. As bout as bad I have ever seen ,,,,, , but yet the people seem to LOVE them. At least those religious , unsaved types . If you remember that God loved Enoch and TRANSLATED him to heaven. But with this evil bunch of Eygptian writers , they loved Enoch and tried to build him up in their own eyes. . Do we see any problems with this???? God did it His way and man tries to do it his way. Several scriptures come to mind. Judges 21: 25 kjv. Same old STORY , Alexandria CORRUPTS everything they touched . Aleph, Sinaiticus, Vaticanus are just some others from them in Alexandrian. So all of these so called lost books show us the same evil communications as their work. Ok lets look at who they are from what God said , Go to II Tim 3:6-7 6 For of this sort are they which CREEP into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." These are those Apocryphal writers God is speaking about , CREEPS they are. And of course many women will fall for their wicked nonsense , but then so do some very strange Theologians as well. But they pawn themselves off as apostles and prophets and such . Alexandrian hooligans and Interlopers who have done massive amounts of damage with their perverted FAKE Bibles and the illfated Apocrypha as well . All of it from the same city in Egypt, Alexandria , All from these Christ Rejecting men of old. WHERE ARE THEY NOW???
Yes!! But don't forget Jesus was brought into Egypt. I just realized something Jospeh went into Egypt, Mary's husband Jospeh brougth Jesus and Mary into Egypt. intersting.. nothing wrong with the people of Alexandrian.. just can't rust thier text.@@BillSheka
Nope, the definition is not A LIE. Rather that it is probably not true. Probably. I think that the Cambridge dictionary adds ..."but believed by many." By the way, you seem to be leaving out an even older rendition- the Septuagint. But maybe this is simply because it doesn't fit your narrative. There are no headings at the tops of the pages. Sadly, I think you skipped over why these books were taken out. Anti-Catholic fever.
The only publishers that still print 1611 Bibles with the apocraypha in it are Hendrickson and Oxford University press. The Hendrickson 1611 is especially readily available for dirt cheap. They are readily available and
Cambridge still prints the Cameo edition with the Apocrypha. If you look closely at the cross-references in the OT and NT you will discover many Aproycha verses.
Hi, I'm a new follower of Christ. Is the King James version the same as the king james bible? I can only find the king james version I will purchase a real copy i jist want to make sure im gettinv the correct one. My local church has a masonic symbol in their stainglass window, they also handed me a copy of the good news bible which funnily enough is printed by a family who is into free masons. Have you looked into this? Its a main reason for my new belief in christ after nudges and watching content about free masonry. Many thanks, Charlie
Hi Charlie, the King James Bible & the King James Version are one and the same. In the UK we tend to call it the King James Version & in the States they call it the King James Bible, but both are exactly the same. God bless you dear one 🙏
@@charlieb9144 Looking at the state of the majority of churches today, probably none of 'em! Church of England are a complete mess, we saw their true colours when they closed for worship but opened up as 💉 centres 🥴 If you can find a true Bible-believing (KJV) church then you'll be very fortunate indeed. Best thing is to check their statement of faith. Are they preaching the true Gospel: Salvation by faith alone in Christ alone, or are they preaching an accursed false gospel by adding works or 'cleaning up your act' etc to be saved? Do they preach eternal security or do they believe salvation can be lost? If so then flee from them, they don't understand the Gospel. Personally I don't believe there should be denominations, I'm not into religion at all or any 'isms/ists". Is Christ divided? No! (1st Corinthians chapters 1 - 3. The best pastors/teachers I've found are on here, can recommend Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, Renee Roland, Gregg Jackson, David Benjamin (Christians need the Gospel)👍 It's good to have fellowship with others if you can find a true church, there just aren't many of them, especially here in UK where it's pretty much just C of E. Anyway, do check out those pastors/teachers, its only by understanding the true Gospel & our eternal security & standing as co-heirs with Christ Jesus that we can really begin to grow as Christians ✝️ 🙏 ❤
In Finnish 1772 Bible(translation based on KJB but was not fluent in Finnish) it also included Apochrypha and Apochcryphal adds of OT prophets (removed from Ezekiel, etc because those parta had not included in Biblia Judaica)

The Seven books of Apocrypha indicate teachings from Roman Catholiicsm concerning pagan beliefs and pagan traditions which are contrary to God's Word like indulgences praying for the dead , in order to be saved godo works are needed ,purgatory etc.
If you could please share what that chart is around 15 minutes that shows the number of mentions of “God”, “Jesus”, “Christ”, etc. in the King James Bible? Thank you
Digging into the subject of what or who decided what was and is canonical or apocryphal (which in the root means 'away from writings') learns that many of the characterisations were made by "The council of Rome" or "The council of Trent" or "The synod of Jerusalem" or are based on the Lutheran bible. Suspiciously all roman catholic 'authorities'. The book of Esther is canonical, yet it does not contain the word 'God' and 2nd Esdras is apocryphal, yet it contains serious end-time prophesies. The 'rod' used to 'measure' canonical and/or apocryphal is fluid, un-transparent and very slippery in my view. Not inspired, according to who ? Having said that, God may have had a Hand in the formation and compilation of our current KJB, without condemnation of the texts outside this Bible. In its current form it contains all we need to hear God speak and shows, and, in terms of numerology, that a non-coincidental Hand is behind this book. However, it is of Kings to determine and discern. Tobit offered alms to gain salvation: does that make it apocryphal just because it is the wrong thing to do to gain salvation ? With that in mind, we must throw out 2nd Samuel because of David's adultery. The Bible is a mirror to see our own sin and error. We will never learn if we don't see, hear and read what is wrong. Up until 1947, the Book of Jubilees was largely unknown, except for bits and pieces. So if King James had no fragments or a complete copy of this book, how could he have included it and how can we (today) dismiss it as extra biblical ? The writer identifies himself a number of times as Moses and the book-line seems to be adding to Genesis, like Deuteronomy adds to Leviticus. First Enoch is quoted about 100 times in the NT. We declare the NT 'inspired', yet the book from which was quoted is not ?? Very strange to call this then as 'un-inspired'. If First Enoch is not inspired it should never be quoted. God is not the author of confusion. Note that from that same principle, Esther is never quoted nor referred to in the NT. Go figure.
Lam 2;6 says that Yah will take away the knowledge of the true Sabbath, New-moon, Shemitas and Jubilees. We believe this confusion of the appointed love dates was taken from us, hidden away, started on Yahushas crucifixion. It looks like in the Old Testament scripture we had twelve month in every year, it was not necessary to add a thirteen month. That proofs, Yah himself changed times we read in Dan. 2;21.
I totally agree and are grateful for you making this video, I wasn’t sure, did you mention the book of Enoch?? I will listen again to see, but if you didn’t, what about that book?? I would say it isn’t inspired by the Holy Spirit either, otherwise it would be canonized, but didn’t Jesus Himself mention Enoch ?? And Jude mentioned him in his book,
Yes Jude mentioned Enoch but that doesn’t mean the “book of Enoch” that people read today was actually written by Enoch (no one even has a Hebrew copy of the text). Jude doesn’t mention a book that Enoch wrote, only records a part of a message that Enoch preached. Likely the apocryphal book was written after Jude was written, and copied Enoch’s message to claim authority. Not every single spoken prophecy was written down, especially into the canon. For example “He shall be called a Nazarene” (Matthew 2:23) isn’t in the Old Testament. Likewise whatever Saul prophesied while he was among the prophets (1 Samuel 10:11). 2 Peter 2:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Even written prophecies inspired by the Holy Ghost are not necessarily scripture. Paul wrote a letter to the Laodiceans (Colossians 4:16). But it’s not part of the Bible.
@TruthisChrist2 Do any of the books in the Apocrypha have the Biblical names of the Hebrew months in the Biblical calendar from the KJV Bible? i.e. Abib, Zif, Sivan, Elul, Ethanim, Bul, Adar, etc. And are the names of the 4th, 5th, and 6th months of the Biblical Israelite/Hebrew calendar from the KJV Bible named in the Apocrypha?
There is a 364 day calendar in the Book of Enoch, in the Astronomical section that goes into great detail, but I'm not sure if that is what you're looking for or not.
I disagree. I've read the apocrypha. And it is inspired, simply because evil men chose to remove it. Does not mean otherwise. In addition my copy of the 1611 from the Bible museum has the apocrypha in it. It is an exact copy of 1500 pages. And another way I know it, is several copies found in cumran( Dead sea scrolls) primarily the books of Enoch and Jubilees. And apocrypha also means hidden!
Correct. This guy just keeps repeating this incorrect definition he read on Google and dismisses the entire thing. Sounds like a textbook 501C3 churchianity answer. Beware of people like this.

They should use the apocypha because when you read about the Greeks it’s about the 3rd beast in Daniel remember Alexander the Great kingdom is divided into 4 nations
The first century church of Corinth had to be corrected for many sins. The "church fathers" were men who retained their old sinful nature as well as having a new nature (if they were saved).
In a 27-12-27 pattern🕎 I noticed that, when I couldn't remember hosea-malachi. In the JEWISH TANAK it's one (1) book called the 12 minor prophets I also believe, the rim shot, may have come from that 🤣 Tanak talk 🥁 Like the French VOILA TA DA🎺
Another wise saying out of the apocryphas was: One must be a wise money changer when one is judging on the Word of God spoken and written by men and women of God. One might be cut off of the holy Spirit's company. And one must be a wise money changer when one is reading in the scriptures of the holy Spirit of God, and one has to learn to discern holy words from unholy words. 🍷🧐
@truthisChrist2 Hello Brandon and Laura. For word counts, does it also work for the original Hebrew manuscripts the KJV bible was translated from and KJV bibles translated into foreign languages?? It's just because meanings in one language are often a different amount of words when translated into a different language. Are you concluding that an infinite intelligence planned for a time a couple thousand years later where you would discover that there's been imbedded too many accidental numerological word-count coincidences when translated into our modern english language that only this infinite intelligence would have the ability to prophysise? Is there not other works that have unique numbers re-appearing in differently peculiar ways? Thank and bless you all!!
Here is something I just thought about. If number 7 is the number of perfection and 6 of evil, why 66 books and not 77? Have you done any study on this as I’m sure there is a reason?
If could be 27-12-27 More than 66 Daniel & Revelation are The 27th books Also Our hands have 27 bones in them In Hebrew bible, hosea-malachi Used to be one book Of the MINOR PROPHEYS
I must say that have admired some of the work that you have put into your studies, puts most other believers to shame, not being approved. But I want to clear something up here. When take the opinion of an online forum over the work of the Holy Spirit, then I must say you should dig a little deeper. Allow me to explain: First editions leading to the King James 1611 Bible. The Coverdale Bible, by Gulielmus William Tindale (the man Who invented English), used the Lutheran Library to print the first English New Testament Bible in 1536 which set the kings associated with the RCC on fire. They burned him alive (06-10-1536), which is why Myles Coverdale finished the Hebrew part of the Old Testament that William had started. Mathews did it over as the first completed by a single translator in 1537 that ended the confessional booths in England who could now break from the RCC. This eventually leads to the Geneva Bible, the introduction of verses, being the first family or home-school Bible, which lead to queen "Bloody" Mary's terror reign of burning families alive for teaching their children the Lord's Prayer. She's later replaced by her sister Queen Elizabeth who commissioned the Bishops Bible, which never really took. She gets eventually replaced by her cousin from Scotland in 1603, King James who commissioned the King James 1611 Bible which we have today. Interestingly if nine is the number of the Holy Spirit who is the last to come, and six the number of man, born on the sixth day. So what do you get when you multiply them, you come up with the number of men who did the KJB1611, 54 men over seven years. Perfect. So, this Bible took exactly 7 years to complete, by 54 Bible scholars. Just one, Sir Lancelot Andrews could expertly speak, read and write Latin ,Greek, Hebrew, Caldean, Syriac, Arabic and he also spoke 15 modern languages. Now amongst them were Hebrew scholars, Aramaic Scholars etcetera, who even though they may have had some theological differences, translated every verse according to their grammatical understanding of the texts. So they divided into six groups of nine each, translated, swapped and compared works. After those rounds, they took one leader from each of the groups, who then re-revised the revisions, meaning that every scripture went through a minimum of 15 revisions. The King James 1611 was the gold standard of all Bibles translated and distributed, meaning the RCC had adopted it as their Bible to be found in their churches, not to be excluded of course. Now in 1687 they removed the Apocryphal books from amongst the Bibles pages which again had gotten in the way of the erroneous doctrines of purgatory etc. These books were later again reintroduced into the Bible, but not till the damage was done and the protestants not interested in putting them back. You should add the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch. Trust me on this, it will open your eyes like you would not have conceived. Same approach, absolute faith and trust in God to do the work. Do some more homework before believing that reading over a wiki articles would suffice as adequate research when dealing with a topic so sensitive and our faith which is waged in the souls of men. Just tread carefully before commenting on matters you know very little about. You have a solid following, so be careful my brother in Christ, some of them may be babes in this war. When I had on my phone all of the above listed books I knew inherently that I had a complete copy of the Bible, which was coincidentally the same that I came across an article on the Ethiopic Bible, which mine is identical to. Just think for a moment, if Paul said all scripture is..., and these books were included into the original, in their allotted place, the the Lord would after working with those men not allow it? Who comes later, after the fact to kill steal and destroy, and as you would have it remove. It's always been his modus, to bring doubt to God's Word, "...hath God really said...". You're just missing so much, just give it a try and ask the Lord of Hosts through His Holy Spirit to help you see. If it is not from Him then He will remove it from you. I mean there are spiritual
Hey Brandon, I got a question maybe you can answer. Did Timothy ever speak in scripture or was he only ever spoken of. In my study I find he is lifed up in Paul's eyes. My study which I call Now and Then looks at Paul and Timothy's ministry of reconciliation. Paul gives special instructions concerning Timothy 1st Corinthians 16. And in 1st Timothy 1:18-20 Paul again speaking concerning a prophesy concerning Timothy and here blasphemy is the charge, which we know concerns those that blaspheme the holy spirt, and the boat ride you covered in acts, he came on the scene just as Jesus prophesied of a comforter coming and Timothy is comforting to Paul. Anyhow Now and Then being two time frames Paul spoke of and repeated conversations with Timothy about the end times begs the question. Will Timothy and Paul and or Peter be the two witnesses. Certainly Paul is mentioned or understood to be part to each time two or three witnesses are mentioned, Peter and Paul both appearing in 153 verses only adds to the question. And why wouldn't God use a new testament books to reveal the new covenant and not old testament books that never convinced the jews. In fact they kept back sliding over and again. Thanks for your efforts to shed light. One more thing I believe part of speech have been ignored in scripture reading which has hidden the mystery, I believe that Paul told us he uses great plainess of speech so ww will remember to use it as precepts to give direction as to understand what or who and when each letter is speaking too. Lord bless
I think what has been bothering me the most lately is that there even IS a Word from the Most High that was named after someone (ANYone) else (even a king) except for the Creator Himself.
Fourth is first mentioned in Genesis 1:19. KJPBS has it not mentioned in 44 books. That first mentioned in Genesis 1:19 is the 412th word of the Bible, but doesn’t count like the Elton anomaly. Counting in 14 words before “In” of Genesis 1:1, plus the 18 verse numbers in Bible before that not counted. The 18th number not counted was “19” 18+14=32 4112+32=444 “fourth” is 444th with the Elton Anomaly!!!
Hi Brandon, I am an admirer of your way of researching scripture. I follow a similar way of depth to researching these things. On this topic I disagree with you. Red light is an insulting slur to describe it (in my opinion) - what it actually means (not per google) but in Old Dictionaries is "Hidden or Lost Books". Now, just because it is not canonised (Who made Catholics Discerners of Truth?) does not mean it is not inspired by God and the Holy Spirit. Surely you have read Gospel books that are not considered canonical and felt the love of God. I for example have read the books of Enoch and Thomas etc these you cannot deny have been inspired, of course there have been some that have been slurred but to put it down to being a red light or not inspired is erring on Blaspheming, please be careful. Peace be with you, Angela Marie
In the Apocrypha, Tobit 6:8,17,18; PROMOTES WITCHCRAFT RITUAL. The 54 translators of the Authorized King James Bible Appointed to be read in churches were BORN-AGAIN Christians that prayed for 3 years before working on the KJV.
Hello brother! As a fellow KJB believer, I hope you hear me out. 1. Apocrypha firstly means "hidden" Yes, it can mean what you said, but primarily means "hidden." See the Greek word used for "hid" in Eph. 3:9. 2. If you are saying the Apocrypha means "(of a story or statement) of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true." Then you are saying God led the Translators to put something false in our Bible. I disagree. 3. The reasons for excluding the Apocrypha from the Canon that were given in the book, Translators Revised, are not quotes from the actual translators themselves, but is the author's opinion as to why they labeled the book's Apocrypha 4. King James did label the Apocrypha as papist, but later on in his life, he taught that Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) was actual scripture. He relied on the Apocrypha in his writings sometimes. 5. The KJB gives many cross-references to the Apocrypha that go well beyond use for history, but support doctrines. 6. There is ample evidence that Jesus, the twelve, and Paul all quoted and even built doctrine from the Apocrypha. 7. The title page of the Apocrypha makes it clear that it was to be read in the churches. "Appointed to be read in the churches" 8. The KJB 1611 daily reading plan has verses from the Apocrypha. The verses focus on key doctrines 9. The Apocrypha is not Roman Catholic but 100% Jewish. If we "rightly divide" it then no doctrinal issues arise We don't respect and believe the Apocrypha mostly because of the Cromwelliam Puritans and the Bible publishers and Bible Societies of the 1800s. Thankfully, Cambridge still publishes a complete KJB (cameo edition) which I have and read every day :) I recommend reading The Use Of The Apocrypha In the Christian Church The Apocrypha is Scripture, just "hidden" Scripture. I hope you hear me out, brother!
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
Thanks for explaining, it is a mystery why Yah himself took away the knowledge of his appointed love dates. The Sabbaths, new moons, Shemitas and Jubilees, Lam 2;6. By reading this not in the canon accepted books, we learned a lot. Dan 2;21 says Yah will change times and he did it, on his crucifixion. In the Old Testament we find no need to add a thirteen month. It was always 12 month with 30 days, 360 days in a year. We believe little translation changes was made in many books to bring confusion.
Do you have any posters printed out of your findings? I can download your charts, but I can't imagine trying to print one out. BTW..... love your work!
@Truth In Christ 2 Where can I purchase an authorized, real as they come, king James Bible that will hold up in the numerical patterns you present??? I am looking for a rather large Bible with lots of space to take notes... not just margin space. I've looked everywhere. Im not sure which publishers are on the right side of things either. I don't want to purchase a bible that was printed and distributed by any company that promotes or sells other 'non-Biblical' content. I never thought about "WHO" edits, prints, binds, publishes and distributes Biblical truth in our day until just a few days ago. There are so many companies and foundations all pushing the same narrative of Christianity, but in the end getting a hold of THE LORD'S word costs somebody money. So who's to say those who are selling it haven't tainted it in some way, or who's to say the money goes to good cause. I'm just rambling now. I am genuinely concerned though. And I really am starving for the WORD of our LORD and SAVIOR. Lemme kno. Thx
Who put that word apocrypha in this versions. If they aren’t inspired then why did Jesus reference a couple books from the apocrypha in the New Testament?
@@Billy1690-ws8jz not sure I couldn’t tell you without researching it but you could probably google it. Jesus says something along the lines of “ wasn’t this written in the book of Enoch and or someone else that wrote a book in the apocrypha. He says many times in the New Testament isn’t it written in the law of Moses or isn’t it written so and so. He mentions two from the apocrypha.
@@Billy1690-ws8jz I don’t need to back anything up. Search for it. I’m not doing the work for you. The New Testament it references the writings of Enoch.
You got it right Brother The Holy Spirit revealed it to you through His (Jesus) Words laying down what constitutes the Old Testamemt...The Bible was completed in 60 AD ...of which Roman Catholicism has not been established...and the contents in Apocrypha are contrary or forbidden in the Bible pagan beliefs and pagan traditions practiced by Roman Catholicism
Isn't it interesting, without using The Apocrypha, the code points to The Authorized Uersion of 1611, which included The Apocrypha. God wants us to read The Apocrypha as Scripture. As Brother Howard Elseth points out, The Apocrypha is not a testament, it is a Levital bridge that brings The Old Testament and The New Testament together.
I read the KJV apocrypha and think it’s incredibly important for historical reasons and to further understand 1611 Biblical English. It also adds further weight to the true canon. However the Isaiah mini Bible the numerical evidence as well as the very authority of the words themselves weighs so heavily in favour of the 66 book canon. In my view it was probably dropped out for political reasons since it has so much about resisting authority
@@socalpreston Yes but the difference was noted in Anglican churches by the congregation saying “here ends the reading” rather than “this is the Word of the Lord” so they were viewed as ecclesiastical books handed down through many different Christian churches and held with respect because of their provenance.
@@exjwukmusicalescape9241 There is no difference! The Apocrypha is part of the KJB. It is not separate. No matter what I share my fellow brother will not accept the Apocrypha because it will mess up his word count and he thinks what he is teaching is somehow true. Here is what I said in another comment: 1. Apocrypha firstly means "hidden" Yes, it can mean what you said, but primarily means "hidden." See the Greek word used for "hid" in Eph. 3:9. 2.

@@socalpreston Thanks for sharing that, what about orthodox canons that include 3 and 4 maccabees, extra psalms etc what's your position on these? ie books not in the 1611 KJV? For me the numbers are another line of evidence for the self attesting final authority that is God's Word, but there is no doubt that these words referenced other books that if found or preserved through various traditions with good provenance would be invaluable for our understanding and interpretations. I suppose the question arises have we searched for numerical reasons to include the apocrypha to keep an open mind or just the normal cliches of why it should be discarded. What evidence is there that the Jews viewed it as scripture seeing as 'unto them were committed the oracles of God'?Rom 3:2
@@exjwukmusicalescape9241 If it is not in the KJB I don't hold it as Scripture. You asked, "What evidence is there that the Jews viewed it as scripture seeing as 'unto them were committed the oracles of God'?Rom 3:2" They were written by Jews. Protected and treated as Scripture by Jews. They were used to build doctrine off of. It is. myth that Jews didn't accept them as Scripture. Later on after the fall of the Temple, this is true, but other Jews in Judaism still accepted them as Scripture. I don't believe what Brandon is teaching is actually true. I am concerned that a "KJV Only" Christian is misleading "innocent "people." I also am concerned that Brandon monetizes his "Bible" teaching videos, thereby, exposing his audience to trashing commercials. He also gives people an opportunity to "support" his ministry. Too many Christians are turning the Bible into a business!
I was cautious, but have read Enoch 1. I had 54 book volume, 52 were, in my opinion, most likely trash. But Enoch 1 does speak in agreement with scripture.
@@kathleenking47 just speaking about Enoch1. If you know the Bible, and read this you will understand that it is in agreement with 66 books. No apostate doctrines. Plus, Jude( brother of Jesus )quotes from Enoch1. Just for extra reading,like commentary Bibles.

Thank you for the explanation. I knew they weren’t the same as the Old & New Testament (not inspired), but your explanation really has cleared up a lot of questions I had. Things I read online were really confusing & contradictory, but this helped me understand.
I never have read the Apocrypha. I was tempted a time or two, but the question always came into my mind, "why?" The KJV that I read is all I really need. It has been with me through thick and thin and has provided answers to all my questions for all of my life. Why would I need to read something questionable. Thank you for the information. I have never looked up the definition of apocrypha either. It makes sense.💯

There is only Wisdom to be found.
Great teaching as always. God Bless. I always look forward to your insights on the Bible.
I love the Apocrypha. It explains so much about the Bible, it gives the background of the more obscure passages . These books are from God for me. I bought the Ethiopian Bible, it is huge and contains 88 books.
As you pointed out, the King James Bible always kept the apocrypha separate from scripture and made sure they were clearly labeled as such since they knew they were not inspired. I have read that Roman Catholic Jesuits had infiltrated and were the ones pushing for the inclusion of the apocrypal books. The translators as godly men led by God saw through them and only included them for their historical purpose, but made sure to keep them separate from God's word. My book Roman Catholicism: Her False Doctrines, Corrupt bibles, and Violent, Sinful History on Amazon or Barnes and Noble gives many examples of the contradictions and corruption found in the Apocrypha for anyone interested. King James was led by the Lord and was wise in the dangers of Roman Catholicism. The Roman Catholic Church failed to stop the production of the KJB from the failed gunpowder plot that attempted to kill the king to adding the apocrypha and this is why they rushed production of the Douay-Rheims bible so that Roman Catholics would read their corrupted words versus the inspired words of God found in the KJB. They failed as many Roman Catholics hated the DR and read the KJB instead. God bless you Brandon and keep up the great work. Thank you for showing the Bibles as examples for those who may not have their own copy to see. Also as you stated the very fact that no number patterns are found in the apocrypha proves they are not inspired along with those things the translators described.
I concur yet the apocrypha does have some historical and cultural value.
I will check out your book, but there are plenty of times where great men of God have mentioned these Apocryphal books and other books by name. For example, 2 Samuel 1:18 and Joshua 10:13 specifically refer to the Book of Jasher: Samuel 1:17👉🏾 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
Joshua 10:13 👉🏾And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
According to these two scriptures, How can you claim The Book of Jasher is not inspired Word of God when this book is specifically mentioned by name in 2 different cannon books??

It is very important to be knowledgeable about what the apocrypha books are and have the ability to read with good discernment before jumping into them. They were never intended to be read as the written Word of God, but as records of events, good reads, or as inspirational stories to read. The Geneva and 1611 Bibles give you a pretty good book heading and chapter heading through them giving you their input. I read through the books of the Apocrypha in the 1611 or the Geneva Bible from time to time and have found some things written that certainly have benefit to them, but I also don’t recommend them to babes in Christ or children. My favorite Bible to read from is the Oxford university press 1611 400th anniversary edition. I can read it very fluently and there is a wonderful anointing upon it. Most people don’t understand that the 1611 isn’t full of misspelled words, but written according to the original English alphabet and the way those certain words were pronounced and written by most during that time. I wish someone would make a premium soft leather and premium paper 1611.
Thank You Brandon & Mrs. Brandon🌻 .....great collection of those old Bibles!!
As I watched this, I was thinking that I should add a note about why the Apocrypha was included.
However, in your reading of the book about the translators you pretty much covered it.
Nice detail.
This was very timely. I’ve been asked about the apocrypha before and my first thought was that it completely messes up God’s perfect count in His word. Thank you for posting this.
I heard that it was added just to add historical things and not inpsired by God.. I think that word aprocrypha means hidden
@@GodisGracious1031Ministries the Greek word means “to conceal”. The Webster dictionary goes on further to say, “Literally such things as are not published; but in an appropriate sense, books whose authors are not known; whose authenticity, as inspired writings, is not admitted, and which are therefore not considered a part of the sacred canon of the scripture. When the Jews published their sacred books, they called them canonical and divine; such as they did not publish, were called apocryphal. The apocryphal books are received by the Romish Church as canonical, but not by Protestants.”
Yes, that too.. anyway... don't read it@@RedWolfRun
@@GodisGracious1031Ministries I have no desire to. 😉
God bless : )@@RedWolfRun
The word apocrypha originally meant hidden, and referred to books that should be read in private, not public settings as in church. The definition has changed over the years largely due to the Protestant perspective of the books in question. The change being causative in nature tends to lessen the value of its use in your example. There are other reasons to question the inclusion of the apocryphal or deuterocanonical books inclusion in the Bible, but current definition of apocrypha is not one of them in my humble opinion.
Very good and concise treatise of the topic of apocrypha.
Two things I wanna add though:
- The only reason why these were part of the KJB-editions of the past is the following: When the KJB 1611 came out, it was still required by law to print them with God's word. I don't know when they finally got rid of that law, but nowadays the influence of the Catholic church (which of course was behind the installment of this law) has been pushed back far enough so we can have an actual and true edition of the word of God without any uninspired ballast.
- I thought for some time (like so many, unfortunately) that Jude 14 quotes the "book of Enoch". Well, it doesn't say that. It only says that Enoch prophesied something. Anyone could have made up this "book of Enoch" at any given time after the NT was published, and - by copying this prophecy - fool some of the readers into believing Jude quoted from this book. Noone mess with the book of the LORD!
I'm glad you are aware of that.
There are plenty of times where great men of God have mentioned these Apocryphal books and other books by name. For example, 2 Samuel 1:18 and Joshua 10:13 specifically refer to the Book of Jasher: Samuel 1:17👉🏾 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
Joshua 10:13 👉🏾And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
How do you explain these scriptures?
I loved this teaching and Remember the Gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 :
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
and we have to put our trust in his blood Romans 3 24-26 :
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
And You are saved through faith in his blood alone it is a free GIFT of God and not through your works lest any man should boast!
So remember that faith means you believe and trust it and the moment you trust the blood Gospel you are saved and if you want to tell that too God it should come from the Heart!
God bless you
AMEN.. non one talks about the blood anymore
Amen brother Brandon, very good info.
I made a comment on someone else's video a while back explaining to them the reason why the Apocrypha was in the 1611 King James Bible in the first place. I would like to post that comment here as a supplement to the point of your video, if you don't mind, to show further proof that the Apocrypha is not part of the inspired canon of Scripture. This is the post I left (copied and pasted):
The King James Bible was put out _(officially speaking)_ by the Anglican Church of England. It was translated by 54 Anglican scholars; half of which were Bishops, and half of which were Puritans. So what did the Church of England believe concerning the canon of inspired Scripture? Take a look at this paragraph in the sixth article of the Anglican _Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion:_
*VI. Of the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation.*
"And the other Books (as Hierome saith) the Church doth read *_for example of life and instruction of manners; but yet doth it not apply them to establish any doctrine;_* such are these following:
The Third Book of Esdras The Fourth Book of Esdras The Book of Tobias The Book of Judith The rest of the Book of Esther The Book of Wisdom Jesus the Son of Sirach Baruch the Prophet The Song of the Three Children The Story of Susanna Of Bel and the Dragon The Prayer of Manasses The First Book of Maccabees The Second Book of Maccabees"
You can read the entire sixth article online if you want. But as you can see, the Church of England did NOT accept the Apocrypha as inspired Scripture. This is why the translators placed the Apocrypha _IN BETWEEN_ the Old and New Testaments. They did _not_ place the Apocryphal books in the Old Testament canon as the Catholic Church does. Therefore, the Apocrypha was never actually printed _IN_ the King James Bible, it was printed _WITH_ the King James Bible.
So in conclusion: the translators printed the Apocrpyah with the King James Bible simply because it has historical value and good wisdom in it. Nobody believed it was inspired Scripture.
But what really matters the most is... _what do the Scriptures say about the canon of Scripture?_ Let me show you:
Matthew 23:35 (KJV) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, *_from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias,_* whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
In this verse, Jesus Christ references Abel's death in Genesis (Gen. 4:8) and Zechariah's death in 2 Chronicles (2Chr. 24:20-21), which is (chronologically, and the way the Jewish Hebrew Bible is laid out) the entire 39 books of the Hebrew O.T. (Apocrypha not included).
Better yet:
Luke 24:44 (KJV) And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in *_the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me._*
In this verse, Jesus Christ lays out the official canon of the Hebrew Bible the same exact way the Jews do:
The Law of Moses = The Torah.
The Prophets = The Nevi'im.
The Psalms (aka "The Writings") = The Ketuvim.
These three sections of the Hebrew Bible constitute the entire 39 books of the Hebrew O.T. (Apocrypha is yet again not included).
It is also worth noting that the Apocryphal books are never quoted by Jesus Christ or the Apostles. Rather, the Apocryphal books quote the inspired Scriptures in an attempt to validate themselves.
And the _Septuagint (or LXX),_ being the very text of the corrupted Alexandrian O.T. manuscripts, and the _only_ manuscripts that the Apocryphal books are found in, is dated to be from around 350 A.D. at the very earliest, which is well after the New Testament was completed. This shows that there was no "B.C." Apocryphal books, as there never was any such thing as a "B.C." Septuagint (that's right, Jesus never used the Septuagint, neither did the Apostles).
This proves that the Apocrypha is not inspired Scripture.
In their own words lie their OWN words
Maccabees are historical 🕎though
John 10:22
@@kathleenking47 Yes, Maccabees contains quite a bit of true history. That doesn't mean it's inspired Scripture.
@@AnthonyTuminello of course its not..the apostles didn't quote from it
The Maccabees happened during what I call the "400yrs of silence gap between the ending of the OT and the beginning of the NT"...but yeah the Apocrypha is NOT inspired, if anything it probably has a bit of truth and lies in it, which means its corrupted text. God Bless@@kathleenking47
My daughter has a Catholic Bible and I told her the book of Tobit isn’t in the King James Bible. But I didn’t know why.
Thanks I will explain to her.
Many of my fellow flat earthers wrongly assert that the Book of Enoch and other non-canonical writings belong in the pure, perfect King James Bible. They definitely do not!
For reams of solid proof that the earth is flat, read Edward Hendrie's book, 'The Greatest Lie on Earth'.
Thank you Brandon! Yes, it was very helpful because the Apocryphal books were mysterious and I didn’t know why it was in the Bible to start with.
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
1, and 2 Maccabees is where we get
Chanukah 🕎
I was personally inspired by the Apocrypha books. ❤In my experience the modern day versions of the Bible is vague and leaves much to be desired. The Apocrypha books is an indept account and exploration of the scripture. Everyone must decide for themselves what they regard as inspired or not. GOD has given us all the Authority to decide for ourselves and to test everything.❤
Awesome, i had previously in the comments on another video of yours asked about this topic and this has helped clear it up. Thanks mate, cheers Joel from the land down under
The Book of Enoch is not apocrypha but cited in the Bible by Jude and it seems alot of what Jesus says comes from it. What do you say about it?
Enoch, in my humble opinion, is extra reading for those that already know, love, and beleeue, The Word of God. It was left out to see if we will find IT.
I believe it is the little scroll with a taste of honey mentioned in Revelation. The Bitterness of stomach it gives is because once you realize what it means, what angels are and the 364 day year... you see the lies in the world, and Satans footprints everywhere.@@godsbulldog1800
What a blessing! Thank you for this!
Found your channel a while ago and have been watching all your videos ans the question of "apocrypha was included in kjb until 1885, would your counts work with them included?". Glad i found this video. However i still wonder whether your counts work when placing the apocrypha additions in their appropriate positions of the OT.
Hey Brandon, I've been watching a few of your videos recently and its reawakened an old question I've had around KJV. You make a very compelling case I have to say. Do you have or can you recommend a quality high level overview of the manuscript history? I've been looking and reading, watching, and everything seems either piece meal, incomplete or super technical. I feel I may have no choice but to do my own detailed research and write something up. However, I would prefer it if something already exists and I figure you may be the one to know?
Read Gail Riplinger's books. Start with 'New Age Bible Versions'.
What is that book on your bookshelf in the background? It appears to be titled: The True Standard by Colston? I have never heard about that book. I was wondering if you could give me any information about it. I am always looking for new books and material on the King James Bible. Thanks, and great video by the way.
I believe it was self-printed. If you look up the channel on RUclips called 33rd Book, he unfortunately doesn't upload anymore but that book is his. It's a large collection of comparisons between the KJB and modern translations.
@@TruthisChrist2 Hey Brandon, thanks for all your videos on the KJB as I have watched them all. However, I would have to disagree with you about the Apocryphal books. For a number of reasons that I hope you would consider and respond to me about: 1) If the Apocryphal books were included in the specific version of the 1611 KJV which you say is the inspired version that God himself chose to put his stamp on as the version we should use today, (I believe you even said on another video that the KJV even supersedes the Hebrew) then why would you take it upon yourself to not include those books in your word studies? 2) There are plenty of times where great men of God have mentioned these Apocryphal books and other books by name. For example, 2 Samuel 1:18 and Joshua 10:13 specifically refer to the Book of Jasher: Samuel 1:17👉🏾 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

3) The reasons you gave are not strong enough. So just because they have the word “Apocrypha” printed on the top of the heading of the page instead of the brief description of what is going on in the other 66 canon books, does that mean it is not the inspired word of God? That makes no sense to me. Also, why do you go to a man-made definition of the word “Apocrypha” to attempt to prove its validity? Can’t man just call it that to imply that it’s not inspired Word of God just so they can make an excuse to remove it?
4) Finally, you also mentioned that the Apocryphal books were not written in Hebrew. Well, by that same logic you would have to get rid of the whole New Testament except for the book of Matthew and Revelation which were the only New Testament books written in Hebrew language initially.
These are just a few thoughts. Please let me know what you think about this as I am open to learn. Thanks and God Bless! ❤
Yes I too like the Apocrypha (and Deuterocanon) and think all mature Christians should read it.
Hi, can you share about the book of Enoch? Didn't Jesus quote Enoch? Thank you! Love these videos, learning so much, it's exciting to love His Word.
My two cent's. I like the book of Enoch. I think it us for after people already beleeue The Holy Bible is The Word of God.
It is exciting to loue His Word.
Still good to read it. Found it worth the read and made my own mind up
Hi. Do you have a link to the book The Translators Revived by Scholar Select? I searched for it online, but couldn’t locate it. Ty.
How do you explain the Non-canonical books referenced in the Bible, and by Jesus himself? I am not saying there are inspired to be in the canon, but there are definitely books that are referenced to in the bible, and from Jesus, as being "scripture", which can not be found in the canon. How do you reconcile that please? (a quick google search will give you a list of these)
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
Excellent question. I have seen what you are talking about.
Very helpful, I really appreciate all the hours of studying you do to fill us in on so many mysteries of Gods word. We get to open it all up with a single click…Thank you.
Question…I’m looking to get a new Bible and I’m wondering which one you would suggest, a Cambridge, Oxford, or another. I want each word with the correct capitalization. It’s so confusing now, even the KJV has so many modifications. Can you help direct me?
One of the best wise sayings I found in apocryphical writings like the Gospel of Thomas where he says: If stuff is made out of Spirit, it is a wonder. If Spirit is made out of stuff, it is even a bigger wonder. Definititly out of the Book of Life. 🍷😁
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
The word Apocrypha comes from the Greek word apokrýptein, which means "to WEDGE IN BETWEEN" So silly many are against it and say its not inspired but never show proof at all but use definition from sources that's against the Apocrypha.... Look up ten reasons why the Apocrypha is false and then see if thats true you will find many of their points are just not true at all.
Use scripture to prove scripture. Amen.
Dytement is of Scottish etymology, meaning a written composition, whereby we get our modern word, indictment.
Thank you!
Thank you so much. Your research is outstanding.
I wonder if some of the apocryphal books were Satan inspired. I have seen So many people ignore the true Holy Bible to obsess over the books of Enoch. It makes it a form of idolatry.
It seems that so many quote Enoch and all of its ‘truths’ that can’t be found in the Bible. What’s up with that??
A lot of people quote things that sound like Bible aren't, its jsut something that our heads do if we hear something over and over.. like lion and the lamb @@sandralund429
I noticed a lot of people also say that the lrodshipsavlation and sinners prayer is the right way to be saved but its not...
YES it sure does. sandralund429 Because MAN and NOT GOD wrote those Apocryphal falsehoods and man tried to pass them off as scripture , inspire by God . And they were not. And of course they are all of the Alexandrian culture back then, fellowshipping with those Gnostics, and Christ Rejectors of that city, who hated Christ Diety , the BLOOD of Christ, and hated Salvation by Grace. This is a bad bunch we are dealing with there Gus. As bout as bad I have ever seen ,,,,, , but yet the people seem to LOVE them. At least those religious , unsaved types . If you remember that God loved Enoch and TRANSLATED him to heaven. But with this evil bunch of Eygptian writers , they loved Enoch and tried to build him up in their own eyes. . Do we see any problems with this???? God did it His way and man tries to do it his way. Several scriptures come to mind. Judges 21: 25 kjv. Same old STORY , Alexandria CORRUPTS everything they touched . Aleph, Sinaiticus, Vaticanus are just some others from them in Alexandrian. So all of these so called lost books show us the same evil communications as their work. Ok lets look at who they are from what God said , Go to II Tim 3:6-7
6 For of this sort are they which CREEP into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
These are those Apocryphal writers God is speaking about , CREEPS they are. And of course many women will fall for their wicked nonsense , but then so do some very strange Theologians as well. But they pawn themselves off as apostles and prophets and such . Alexandrian hooligans and Interlopers who have done massive amounts of damage with their perverted FAKE Bibles and the illfated Apocrypha as well . All of it from the same city in Egypt, Alexandria , All from these Christ Rejecting men of old. WHERE ARE THEY NOW???
Yes!! But don't forget Jesus was brought into Egypt. I just realized something Jospeh went into Egypt, Mary's husband Jospeh brougth Jesus and Mary into Egypt. intersting.. nothing wrong with the people of Alexandrian.. just can't rust thier text.@@BillSheka
Nope, the definition is not A LIE. Rather that it is probably not true. Probably. I think that the Cambridge dictionary adds ..."but believed by many." By the way, you seem to be leaving out an even older rendition- the Septuagint. But maybe this is simply because it doesn't fit your narrative. There are no headings at the tops of the pages.
Sadly, I think you skipped over why these books were taken out. Anti-Catholic fever.
Thanks for this video explaining the Apocryphal Books.
The only publishers that still print 1611 Bibles with the apocraypha in it are Hendrickson and Oxford University press.
The Hendrickson 1611 is especially readily available for dirt cheap.
They are readily available and
Cambridge still prints the Cameo edition with the Apocrypha. If you look closely at the cross-references in the OT and NT you will discover many Aproycha verses.
Hi, I'm a new follower of Christ. Is the King James version the same as the king james bible? I can only find the king james version
I will purchase a real copy i jist want to make sure im gettinv the correct one. My local church has a masonic symbol in their stainglass window, they also handed me a copy of the good news bible which funnily enough is printed by a family who is into free masons. Have you looked into this? Its a main reason for my new belief in christ after nudges and watching content about free masonry. Many thanks, Charlie
Hi Charlie, the King James Bible & the King James Version are one and the same. In the UK we tend to call it the King James Version & in the States they call it the King James Bible, but both are exactly the same. God bless you dear one 🙏
@@John3-16KJVThank you for Clarifying this. I am in the UK and unsure of which church denomination to attend. Do you have any advice please?
@@charlieb9144 Looking at the state of the majority of churches today, probably none of 'em!
Church of England are a complete mess, we saw their true colours when they closed for worship but opened up as 💉 centres 🥴
If you can find a true Bible-believing (KJV) church then you'll be very fortunate indeed. Best thing is to check their statement of faith. Are they preaching the true Gospel: Salvation by faith alone in Christ alone, or are they preaching an accursed false gospel by adding works or 'cleaning up your act' etc to be saved? Do they preach eternal security or do they believe salvation can be lost? If so then flee from them, they don't understand the Gospel.
Personally I don't believe there should be denominations, I'm not into religion at all or any 'isms/ists". Is Christ divided? No! (1st Corinthians chapters 1 - 3.
The best pastors/teachers I've found are on here, can recommend Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, Renee Roland, Gregg Jackson, David Benjamin (Christians need the Gospel)👍
It's good to have fellowship with others if you can find a true church, there just aren't many of them, especially here in UK where it's pretty much just C of E.
Anyway, do check out those pastors/teachers, its only by understanding the true Gospel & our eternal security & standing as co-heirs with Christ Jesus that we can really begin to grow as Christians ✝️ 🙏 ❤
just don't get the new king james or the counterfiets.
Amen! Love this !!
KJV = King Jesus Version
KJB = King James Bible
I head that some of Sirach may be inspired, I read Sirach and I was impressed by most of it
In Finnish 1772 Bible(translation based on KJB but was not fluent in Finnish) it also included Apochrypha and Apochcryphal adds of OT prophets (removed from Ezekiel, etc because those parta had not included in Biblia Judaica)

The Seven books of Apocrypha indicate teachings from Roman Catholiicsm concerning pagan beliefs and pagan traditions which are contrary to God's Word like indulgences praying for the dead , in order to be saved godo works are needed ,purgatory etc.
late Middle English: from ecclesiastical Latin apocrypha (scripta) ‘hidden (writings)’, from Greek apokruphos, from apokruptein ‘hide away’.
Dang, this is what you have been up to since you starred in that movie with Bruce?... 'The Sixth Sense'.....lol. GOD Bless u and you family Bro.
Thanks Brandon! Where can someone get that black numerical proof poster you showed?
I almost didn't give it a thumb's up because there were 777 likes lol!... thanks for making it more clearer!
They were considered scripture before Christ.
If you could please share what that chart is around 15 minutes that shows the number of mentions of “God”, “Jesus”, “Christ”, etc. in the King James Bible? Thank you
Digging into the subject of what or who decided what was and is canonical or apocryphal (which in the root means 'away from writings') learns that many of the characterisations were made by "The council of Rome" or "The council of Trent" or "The synod of Jerusalem" or are based on the Lutheran bible. Suspiciously all roman catholic 'authorities'. The book of Esther is canonical, yet it does not contain the word 'God' and 2nd Esdras is apocryphal, yet it contains serious end-time prophesies. The 'rod' used to 'measure' canonical and/or apocryphal is fluid, un-transparent and very slippery in my view.
Not inspired, according to who ?
Having said that, God may have had a Hand in the formation and compilation of our current KJB, without condemnation of the texts outside this Bible. In its current form it contains all we need to hear God speak and shows, and, in terms of numerology, that a non-coincidental Hand is behind this book.
However, it is of Kings to determine and discern. Tobit offered alms to gain salvation: does that make it apocryphal just because it is the wrong thing to do to gain salvation ? With that in mind, we must throw out 2nd Samuel because of David's adultery. The Bible is a mirror to see our own sin and error. We will never learn if we don't see, hear and read what is wrong.
Up until 1947, the Book of Jubilees was largely unknown, except for bits and pieces. So if King James had no fragments or a complete copy of this book, how could he have included it and how can we (today) dismiss it as extra biblical ? The writer identifies himself a number of times as Moses and the book-line seems to be adding to Genesis, like Deuteronomy adds to Leviticus.
First Enoch is quoted about 100 times in the NT. We declare the NT 'inspired', yet the book from which was quoted is not ?? Very strange to call this then as 'un-inspired'. If First Enoch is not inspired it should never be quoted. God is not the author of confusion. Note that from that same principle, Esther is never quoted nor referred to in the NT. Go figure.
Lam 2;6 says that Yah will take away the knowledge of the true Sabbath, New-moon, Shemitas and Jubilees. We believe this confusion of the appointed love dates was taken from us, hidden away, started on Yahushas crucifixion. It looks like in the Old Testament scripture we had twelve month in every year, it was not necessary to add a thirteen month. That proofs, Yah himself changed times we read in Dan. 2;21.
I totally agree and are grateful for you making this video, I wasn’t sure, did you mention the book of Enoch?? I will listen again to see, but if you didn’t, what about that book?? I would say it isn’t inspired by the Holy Spirit either, otherwise it would be canonized, but didn’t Jesus Himself mention Enoch ?? And Jude mentioned him in his book,
Yes Jude mentioned Enoch but that doesn’t mean the “book of Enoch” that people read today was actually written by Enoch (no one even has a Hebrew copy of the text). Jude doesn’t mention a book that Enoch wrote, only records a part of a message that Enoch preached. Likely the apocryphal book was written after Jude was written, and copied Enoch’s message to claim authority.
Not every single spoken prophecy was written down, especially into the canon. For example “He shall be called a Nazarene” (Matthew 2:23) isn’t in the Old Testament. Likewise whatever Saul prophesied while he was among the prophets (1 Samuel 10:11).
2 Peter 2:21
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Even written prophecies inspired by the Holy Ghost are not necessarily scripture. Paul wrote a letter to the Laodiceans (Colossians 4:16). But it’s not part of the Bible.
@TruthisChrist2
Do any of the books in the Apocrypha have the Biblical names of the Hebrew months in the Biblical calendar from the KJV Bible?
i.e. Abib, Zif, Sivan, Elul, Ethanim, Bul, Adar, etc.
And are the names of the 4th, 5th, and 6th months of the Biblical Israelite/Hebrew calendar from the KJV Bible named in the Apocrypha?
There is a 364 day calendar in the Book of Enoch, in the Astronomical section that goes into great detail, but I'm not sure if that is what you're looking for or not.
I disagree. I've read the apocrypha. And it is inspired, simply because evil men chose to remove it. Does not mean otherwise. In addition my copy of the 1611 from the Bible museum has the apocrypha in it. It is an exact copy of 1500 pages. And another way I know it, is several copies found in cumran( Dead sea scrolls) primarily the books of Enoch and Jubilees. And apocrypha also means hidden!
Correct. This guy just keeps repeating this incorrect definition he read on Google and dismisses the entire thing. Sounds like a textbook 501C3 churchianity answer. Beware of people like this.
I read the Roman Catholic NAB-RE. Martin Luther and Protestants hated books which didnt conform to their teachings. James, 2 Peter and Revelations are some. Sorry, but alot of bs

They should use the apocypha because when you read about the Greeks it’s about the 3rd beast in Daniel remember Alexander the Great kingdom is divided into 4 nations

Another wise saying out of the apocryphas was: One must be a wise money changer when one is judging on the Word of God spoken and written by men and women of God. One might be cut off of the holy Spirit's company.
And one must be a wise money changer when one is reading in the scriptures of the holy Spirit of God, and one has to learn to discern holy words from unholy words. 🍷🧐

This was a helpful video. Thank you. I wondered about these books too.
@truthisChrist2 Hello Brandon and Laura.
For word counts, does it also work for the original Hebrew manuscripts the KJV bible was translated from and KJV bibles translated into foreign languages??
It's just because meanings in one language are often a different amount of words when translated into a different language.
Are you concluding that an infinite intelligence planned for a time a couple thousand years later where you would discover that there's been imbedded too many accidental numerological word-count coincidences when translated into our modern english language that only this infinite intelligence would have the ability to prophysise?
Is there not other works that have unique numbers re-appearing in differently peculiar ways?
Thank and bless you all!!
Here is something I just thought about. If number 7 is the number of perfection and 6 of evil, why 66 books and not 77? Have you done any study on this as I’m sure there is a reason?

@@dalefranklin364 not sure what it means
I must say that have admired some of the work that you have put into your studies, puts most other believers to shame, not being approved.
But I want to clear something up here. When take the opinion of an online forum over the work of the Holy Spirit, then I must say you should dig a little deeper.
Allow me to explain:
First editions leading to the King James 1611 Bible.
The Coverdale Bible, by Gulielmus William Tindale (the man Who invented English), used the Lutheran Library to print the first English New Testament Bible in 1536 which set the kings associated with the RCC on fire. They burned him alive (06-10-1536), which is why Myles Coverdale finished the Hebrew part of the Old Testament that William had started.
Mathews did it over as the first completed by a single translator in 1537 that ended the confessional booths in England who could now break from the RCC.
This eventually leads to the Geneva Bible, the introduction of verses, being the first family or home-school Bible, which lead to queen "Bloody" Mary's terror reign of burning families alive for teaching their children the Lord's Prayer. She's later replaced by her sister Queen Elizabeth who commissioned the Bishops Bible, which never really took.
She gets eventually replaced by her cousin from Scotland in 1603, King James who commissioned the King James 1611 Bible which we have today. Interestingly if nine is the number of the Holy Spirit who is the last to come, and six the number of man, born on the sixth day. So what do you get when you multiply them, you come up with the number of men who did the KJB1611, 54 men over seven years. Perfect.
So, this Bible took exactly 7 years to complete, by 54 Bible scholars. Just one, Sir Lancelot Andrews could expertly speak, read and write Latin ,Greek, Hebrew, Caldean, Syriac, Arabic and he also spoke 15 modern languages. Now amongst them were Hebrew scholars, Aramaic Scholars etcetera, who even though they may have had some theological differences, translated every verse according to their grammatical understanding of the texts. So they divided into six groups of nine each, translated, swapped and compared works. After those rounds, they took one leader from each of the groups, who then re-revised the revisions, meaning that every scripture went through a minimum of 15 revisions.
The King James 1611 was the gold standard of all Bibles translated and distributed, meaning the RCC had adopted it as their Bible to be found in their churches, not to be excluded of course. Now in 1687 they removed the Apocryphal books from amongst the Bibles pages which again had gotten in the way of the erroneous doctrines of purgatory etc. These books were later again reintroduced into the Bible, but not till the damage was done and the protestants not interested in putting them back.
You should add the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch. Trust me on this, it will open your eyes like you would not have conceived. Same approach, absolute faith and trust in God to do the work. Do some more homework before believing that reading over a wiki articles would suffice as adequate research when dealing with a topic so sensitive and our faith which is waged in the souls of men. Just tread carefully before commenting on matters you know very little about. You have a solid following, so be careful my brother in Christ, some of them may be babes in this war. When I had on my phone all of the above listed books I knew inherently that I had a complete copy of the Bible, which was coincidentally the same that I came across an article on the Ethiopic Bible, which mine is identical to.
Just think for a moment, if Paul said all scripture is..., and these books were included into the original, in their allotted place, the the Lord would after working with those men not allow it? Who comes later, after the fact to kill steal and destroy, and as you would have it remove. It's always been his modus, to bring doubt to God's Word, "...hath God really said...". You're just missing so much, just give it a try and ask the Lord of Hosts through His Holy Spirit to help you see. If it is not from Him then He will remove it from you. I mean there are spiritual
How should we use the Apocrypha? Should we read it at all?
Hey Brandon, I got a question maybe you can answer. Did Timothy ever speak in scripture or was he only ever spoken of. In my study I find he is lifed up in Paul's eyes. My study which I call Now and Then looks at Paul and Timothy's ministry of reconciliation. Paul gives special instructions concerning Timothy 1st Corinthians 16. And in 1st Timothy 1:18-20 Paul again speaking concerning a prophesy concerning Timothy and here blasphemy is the charge, which we know concerns those that blaspheme the holy spirt, and the boat ride you covered in acts, he came on the scene just as Jesus prophesied of a comforter coming and Timothy is comforting to Paul. Anyhow Now and Then being two time frames Paul spoke of and repeated conversations with Timothy about the end times begs the question. Will Timothy and Paul and or Peter be the two witnesses.
Certainly Paul is mentioned or understood to be part to each time two or three witnesses are mentioned, Peter and Paul both appearing in 153 verses only adds to the question. And why wouldn't God use a new testament books to reveal the new covenant and not old testament books that never convinced the jews. In fact they kept back sliding over and again.
Thanks for your efforts to shed light. One more thing I believe part of speech have been ignored in scripture reading which has hidden the mystery, I believe that Paul told us he uses great plainess of speech so ww will remember to use it as precepts to give direction as to understand what or who and when each letter is speaking too.
Lord bless
I think what has been bothering me the most lately is that there even IS a Word from the Most High that was named after someone (ANYone) else (even a king) except for the Creator Himself.
Fourth is first mentioned in Genesis 1:19. KJPBS has it not mentioned in 44 books.
That first mentioned in Genesis 1:19 is the 412th word of the Bible, but doesn’t count like the Elton anomaly. Counting in 14 words before “In” of Genesis 1:1, plus the 18 verse numbers in Bible before that not counted. The 18th number not counted was “19”
18+14=32
4112+32=444
“fourth” is 444th with the Elton Anomaly!!!
Why is Esther included? Apart from it being needed for the gematrial purposes?
Hi Brandon, I am an admirer of your way of researching scripture. I follow a similar way of depth to researching these things. On this topic I disagree with you. Red light is an insulting slur to describe it (in my opinion) - what it actually means (not per google) but in Old Dictionaries is "Hidden or Lost Books". Now, just because it is not canonised (Who made Catholics Discerners of Truth?) does not mean it is not inspired by God and the Holy Spirit. Surely you have read Gospel books that are not considered canonical and felt the love of God. I for example have read the books of Enoch and Thomas etc these you cannot deny have been inspired, of course there have been some that have been slurred but to put it down to being a red light or not inspired is erring on Blaspheming, please be careful. Peace be with you, Angela Marie
Excellent video! It was really cool seeing the antique KJV too.
The Apocrypha is inspired.
Agreed
Agreed
FYI the summaries of what’s in the different passages in the Bible are called pericopes. :)
In the Apocrypha, Tobit 6:8,17,18; PROMOTES WITCHCRAFT RITUAL. The 54 translators of the Authorized King James Bible Appointed to be read in churches were BORN-AGAIN Christians that prayed for 3 years before working on the KJV.
Other sources define "apocrypha" as "hidden". Whose source is right?
Hello brother! As a fellow KJB believer, I hope you hear me out.
1. Apocrypha firstly means "hidden" Yes, it can mean what you said, but primarily means "hidden." See the Greek word used for "hid" in Eph. 3:9.
2. If you are saying the Apocrypha means "(of a story or statement) of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true." Then you are saying God led the Translators to put something false in our Bible. I disagree.
3. The reasons for excluding the Apocrypha from the Canon that were given in the book, Translators Revised, are not quotes from the actual translators themselves, but is the author's opinion as to why they labeled the book's Apocrypha
4. King James did label the Apocrypha as papist, but later on in his life, he taught that Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) was actual scripture. He relied on the Apocrypha in his writings sometimes.
5. The KJB gives many cross-references to the Apocrypha that go well beyond use for history, but support doctrines.
6. There is ample evidence that Jesus, the twelve, and Paul all quoted and even built doctrine from the Apocrypha.
7. The title page of the Apocrypha makes it clear that it was to be read in the churches. "Appointed to be read in the churches"
8. The KJB 1611 daily reading plan has verses from the Apocrypha. The verses focus on key doctrines
9. The Apocrypha is not Roman Catholic but 100% Jewish. If we "rightly divide" it then no doctrinal issues arise
We don't respect and believe the Apocrypha mostly because of the Cromwelliam Puritans and the Bible publishers and Bible Societies of the 1800s. Thankfully, Cambridge still publishes a complete KJB (cameo edition) which I have and read every day :)
I recommend reading The Use Of The Apocrypha In the Christian Church
The Apocrypha is Scripture, just "hidden" Scripture.
I hope you hear me out, brother!
Either a book is inspired or it is not, I think KJV is inspired including The Apocrypha, so I will not avoid words from God's Testament given to us.
@@CarstenEmilJespersen Amen! You are being consistent!
I being noticing when the books are mentioned in the KJV or other new bibles.. that is always talking about right after takling about how the Solomon or others did wicked things and turned away from God and the rest of thier acts were written in those "Apocryphal" books
the NIV has those refrences too
Wrong teachings, inaccuratte dates, magic, witchcraft, etc...in Apocrypha....
How come those texts are Word of God?....
Come on...think....
Have you read Chasing Antichrist? Would like your thoughts.
Thanks for explaining, it is a mystery why Yah himself took away the knowledge of his appointed love dates. The Sabbaths, new moons, Shemitas and Jubilees, Lam 2;6. By reading this not in the canon accepted books, we learned a lot. Dan 2;21 says Yah will change times and he did it, on his crucifixion. In the Old Testament we find no need to add a thirteen month. It was always 12 month with 30 days, 360 days in a year. We believe little translation changes was made in many books to bring confusion.
Do you have any posters printed out of your findings? I can download your charts, but I can't imagine trying to print one out. BTW..... love your work!
@Truth In Christ 2
Where can I purchase an authorized, real as they come, king James Bible that will hold up in the numerical patterns you present???
I am looking for a rather large Bible with lots of space to take notes... not just margin space.
I've looked everywhere.
Im not sure which publishers are on the right side of things either. I don't want to purchase a bible that was printed and distributed by any company that promotes or sells other 'non-Biblical' content.
I never thought about "WHO" edits, prints, binds, publishes and distributes Biblical truth in our day until just a few days ago. There are so many companies and foundations all pushing the same narrative of Christianity, but in the end getting a hold of THE LORD'S word costs somebody money. So who's to say those who are selling it haven't tainted it in some way, or who's to say the money goes to good cause.
I'm just rambling now.
I am genuinely concerned though.
And I really am starving for the WORD of our LORD and SAVIOR.
Lemme kno. Thx
It would be cool to see if there are patterns in the apocrypha even though its not scripture
I am sure there is more to be discouered than any haue vncoured.
Thank you so much!
Awesome, thanks!
Who gave those books that name?
Who put that word apocrypha in this versions. If they aren’t inspired then why did Jesus reference a couple books from the apocrypha in the New Testament?
Which ones, chapter and verse?
@@Billy1690-ws8jz not sure I couldn’t tell you without researching it but you could probably google it. Jesus says something along the lines of “ wasn’t this written in the book of Enoch and or someone else that wrote a book in the apocrypha. He says many times in the New Testament isn’t it written in the law of Moses or isn’t it written so and so. He mentions two from the apocrypha.
@@timmorales1569 you made the statement, you need to back it up friend or hold your piece.
@@Billy1690-ws8jz I don’t need to back anything up. Search for it. I’m not doing the work for you. The New Testament it references the writings of Enoch.
@@timmorales1569the liars come back. 👏🏼👏🏼
You got it right Brother The Holy Spirit revealed it to you through His (Jesus) Words laying down what constitutes the Old Testamemt...The Bible was completed in 60 AD ...of which Roman Catholicism has not been established...and the contents in Apocrypha are contrary or forbidden in the Bible pagan beliefs and pagan traditions practiced by Roman Catholicism
None of them matter past the 1611, but awesome collection.
Isn't it interesting, without using The Apocrypha, the code points to The Authorized Uersion of 1611, which included The Apocrypha. God wants us to read The Apocrypha as Scripture. As Brother Howard Elseth points out, The Apocrypha is not a testament, it is a Levital bridge that brings The Old Testament and The New Testament together.
Learning alot from your videos.
I read the KJV apocrypha and think it’s incredibly important for historical reasons and to further understand 1611 Biblical English. It also adds further weight to the true canon. However the Isaiah mini Bible the numerical evidence as well as the very authority of the words themselves weighs so heavily in favour of the 66 book canon. In my view it was probably dropped out for political reasons since it has so much about resisting authority
The Apocrypha was appointed to read in the churches!
@@socalpreston Yes but the difference was noted in Anglican churches by the congregation saying “here ends the reading” rather than “this is the Word of the Lord” so they were viewed as ecclesiastical books handed down through many different Christian churches and held with respect because of their provenance.
@@exjwukmusicalescape9241 There is no difference!
The Apocrypha is part of the KJB. It is not separate. No matter what I share my fellow brother will not accept the Apocrypha because it will mess up his word count and he thinks what he is teaching is somehow true.
Here is what I said in another comment:
1. Apocrypha firstly means "hidden" Yes, it can mean what you said, but primarily means "hidden." See the Greek word used for "hid" in Eph. 3:9.
2. If you are saying the Apocrypha means "(of a story or statement) of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true." Then you are saying God led the Translators to put something false in our Bible. I disagree.

@@socalpreston Thanks for sharing that, what about orthodox canons that include 3 and 4 maccabees, extra psalms etc what's your position on these? ie books not in the 1611 KJV? For me the numbers are another line of evidence for the self attesting final authority that is God's Word, but there is no doubt that these words referenced other books that if found or preserved through various traditions with good provenance would be invaluable for our understanding and interpretations. I suppose the question arises have we searched for numerical reasons to include the apocrypha to keep an open mind or just the normal cliches of why it should be discarded. What evidence is there that the Jews viewed it as scripture seeing as 'unto them were committed the oracles of God'?Rom 3:2
@@exjwukmusicalescape9241 If it is not in the KJB I don't hold it as Scripture.
You asked, "What evidence is there that the Jews viewed it as scripture seeing as 'unto them were committed the oracles of God'?Rom 3:2"
They were written by Jews. Protected and treated as Scripture by Jews. They were used to build doctrine off of. It is. myth that Jews didn't accept them as Scripture. Later on after the fall of the Temple, this is true, but other Jews in Judaism still accepted them as Scripture.
I don't believe what Brandon is teaching is actually true.
I am concerned that a "KJV Only" Christian is misleading "innocent "people."
I also am concerned that Brandon monetizes his "Bible" teaching videos, thereby, exposing his audience to trashing commercials. He also gives people an opportunity to "support" his ministry. Too many Christians are turning the Bible into a business!
Definitely helpful
I was cautious, but have read Enoch 1. I had 54 book volume, 52 were, in my opinion, most likely trash. But Enoch 1 does speak in agreement with scripture.
Some truth makes it easier to "sell" a lie.

Enoch makes a lot of things make sense.
