Transforming the Greek translation of the New Testament back into the Hebrew translation is no task for the weary of heart. Its a complicated, tedious process that requires much patience and diligence, including several hours and days of re-search and typing. Much of the recourses I have found most useful are unheard of. They are not on top of the search engine list nor are they among the popular platforms burning with trails of traffic in the tens of thousands of visitors every month. They are not making a million bucks or even being very recognized for their works. Maybe they are more recognized within another sect in society of the learned and extremely educated but for the modern, standard, regular day to day Christians...who are they? Who are the people exposing translation errors and finding the hidden treasures in the Word? 2 Timothy 2:15 There are many, and the deeper you re-search the more you will discover an ocean of intelligence. Fishers of Men. Matthew 4:19 It's important to study Gods Word on our own even though the Pope of the Catholic Church says not too. It's important to study Gods Word on our own even when you have a Pastor or a Reverend to do it for you. It's important to study Gods Word on our own even when we think we don't need too, that's probably when we should be most head over heels in the Word.

We can clearly see a distinction between the well established and renown King James Version Bible and the Greek and Hebrew texts of our Elohim's Word. First, we notice when we translate from English to Greek a distinction of the Word Heaven. In the KJV its translated as singular, Heaven. And in the Greek Text it's translated in the plural, Heavens. It may not seem like a big deal at first but when we look closer...what does more than one heaven mean?

There exist many Heavens, several layers/levels of Heavens. Our Elohim cannot be contained by any of them. He exists in the highest Heaven known as the Empyrean Heaven, where only Fire and Pure Light exist, the dwelling place of God.

There are many references of more than one Heaven in scripture for ex. in 2 Corinthians 12: 2-4 KJV I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third Heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

In ancient Hebrew cosmology there are 7 Heavens named, and 10 are mentioned in the Book Of Enoch.

Finally, when we translate the Greek into the Hebrew text, which is the language our Messiah spoke and preached this sermon in, we find more incredible distinctions. We can see there is a Word completely taken out of the KJV and Greek text, and isn't translated at all. That Word is THE WORD. The Word of Righteousness. What is the Word of Righteousness? The Hebrew verb used here is "Dabar" which means literally "the word", or "to speak", or more deeply as a "commandment" or "declaration". What is the "Declaration of Righteousness"? What is the "Commandment of Righteousness"? It would be better to ask not what is...but instead who is...Who is the "Commandment, the Word, the Declaration of Righteousness"? The Bible clearly tells us it's our Messiah, He is "the living Word made flesh". John 1:14

He is the Declaration of Righteousness, He is the fulfillment of the law which is righteousness. His Character and His Name fully represent all that is or ever will be perfect righteousness on this earth. He is foreshadowing His crucifixion once again here in this passage, He is well aware of the serpents

Why would anyone remove this translation? This one Word. I don't refrain from saying it's a deliberate attack on our Messiah.
