INTRODUCTION:

All of these pages have the same verses at top in the introduction, designed to help you understand how to understand the Word of God, in context, without any of one's own private interpretation which changes meanings to fit one's pet doctrines. Not to mention goes against the Word of God.

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

(2 Peter 3:16 [KJV])
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

(Psalms 12:6-7 [KJV])
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

(2 Timothy 2:15-16 [KJV])
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

(Acts 17:10-11 [KJV])
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

As the verses above say and teach, always research for yourself, always use all of the context of all Scripture, always rightly divide that Word of Truth and never privately interpret it!

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, concordances nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

Genesis Chapter 45: WITH THE FATHER- THE EMOTIONAL REVELATION OF JOSEPH: ISRAEL WILL ENTER EGYPT,

As the famine deepens, according to God's dream to Pharaoh, plus the imprisonment of Simeon in exchange for seeing Benjamin, Jacob (Israel) is forced once again to send his boys into Egypt for food, this time with Benjamin, making this all of Joseph's brethren there, minus his father Jacob. They tell Jacob the threat of this ruler in Egypt, so he has no choice but to send Benjamin with them. This reunion overwhelms Joseph, not having seen Benjamin in many years, and it is now time to reveal himself and God's plan to sav them all in Egypt from starvation. They will need to bring the father with them. The amount of grace, mercy and forgiveness that Joseph had top extend to them is beyond most of us, as it took all of this famine to even get them to have any remorse at all, not much of which is even displayed here, because it is more being stunned than anything
