The Lost Books of the Bible The Lost Books of the Bible Books Mentioned, But Not Found, In The Bible There are twenty-two books mentioned in the Bible, but not included. The variation is due to possible double mentions using differing names for the same book. Book of the Covenant Exodus 24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. There are those that believe the Book of the Covenant is found in Exodus chapters 20 through 23. There are no authoritative sources for this text. Book of the Wars of the Lord Numbers 21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon, Certain sources believe that this is to be found by drawing text from several Old Testament books. There are no authoritative sources for this text.

I have visited many countries around the world and learnt about many different cultures and customs. I was shocked by the extent difference between the religions. I saw the Buddhist monks distancing themselves from the worldly life and devoting themselves to worshipping their god, Buddha. I saw the Christian monks isolating themselves in the monasteries and devoting themselves to worshipping their god, Jesus Christ. I saw those who worship trees, stones, cows, mice, fire, money and other inanimate objects, and I saw those who do not believe in the existence of God or they do believe in the existence of God, but they say, “We do not know anything about him.” I liked to hear from each one his point of view about what he worships.

  • What Is Biblical Prophecy?
    What is Biblical Prophecy? What Biblical Prophecy is NOT, and What It Really IS: Contrary to what many fundamentalist preachers or late-night radio hosts would have you believe, biblical prophecy is not primarily about “predicting the future” or finding clues in the Bible that correspond to people or events in our own day and age! The prophets of Ancient Israel did not look into some kind of crystal ball and see events happening thousands of years after their own lifetimes. The books they wrote do not contain hidden coded messages for people living in the 20th or 21st centuries! Rather, biblical prophets were mainly speaking to and writing for the people of their own time. They were challenging people of their own world, especially their political rulers, to remain faithful to God’s commandments and/or to repent and turn back to God if they had strayed. They were conveying messages from God, who had called or commissioned them, rather than speaking on their own initiative or authority. However, because the biblical prophets were transmitting messages on behalf of God (as Jews and Christians believe), much of what they wrote for their own time is clearly also relevant for people living in the modern world. The overall message of faith and repentance is timeless and applicable in all ages and cultures. To understand what biblical prophecy really is, let’s look more closely at the origins, definitions, and uses of some key biblical words. In the Hebrew Bible, the word for “prophet” is usually nabi’ (lit. “spokesperson”; used over 300 times!), while the related feminine noun nebi’ah (“prophetess”) occurs only rarely.

  • Books of the Bible and of the Apocrypha an Introduction
    BOOKS OF THE BIBLE AND OF THE APOCRYPHA AN INTRODUCTION TO BIBLE APOCRYPHA (WITH A BIBLE HISTORY CHART AT THE END) Page 1-2: Introduction Historical controversy continues today among Bible students, researchers, scholars, and clergy about the subject of the Apocrypha; whether these "Bible-related" books are considered to be the very Word of God, or of historical reference accounts, or of uncertain origin and best kept on the shelf. Some Apocryphal books have even been marketed for sale as "Lost Books of the Bible". Essentially, Old Testament Apocrypha (14 books primarily) consists of Jewish documents that were not accepted into the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament as actual books of canon scripture, even though they were included in most of the early translations of the Bible (as far back as the Greek Septuagint), typically as a separate section after the Old Testament. Then there is the New Testament Apocrypha, which are writings attributed to Christians of the first four centuries in Christ but were not accepted into the New Testament either, and are very rarely included in any Bible. A summary introduction of each of the following charts is now presented. Page 3: Comparison of Modern Bibles Chart This chart compares a modern post-1885 KJV Bible with the 1970 Catholic New American Bible (NAB) translation and the difference is that the NAB still contains 10 of the original 14 OT Apocrypha books. The irony is that the pre-1885 KJV and earlier English translations contained all 14 Apocrypha books. What happened in 1885 to remove all Apocrypha from the KJV? The Latin Vulgate Bible of 405 A.D.

  • Jerusalem and Its Parallels Five Cities Paired with Jerusalem in the Bible
    Abr-Nahrain 32 (1994) 80-95 JERUSALEM AND ITS PARALLELS FIVE CITIES PAIRED WITH JERUSALEM IN THE BIBLE BY AMOS FRISCH Jerusalem is unique among the cities mentioned in the Bible. However, it is not always presented by itself. Sometimes it is mentioned along with another city of either equal or inferior stature in the particular context. In contrast with word pairs within verses that have merited considerable attention in research1, city pairs have not been studied extensively2. In a single paper we cannot include all the cities paired with Jerusalem in the Bible. We will limit ourselves to a discussion of five cities each of which is mentioned together with Jerusalem in different Biblical contexts, tracing the varied usage of these city pairs. We will present the cities paired with Jerusalem in the following order: the first is Sodom, which is highlighted in the Biblical description of Abraham's period; Shiloh, the religious centre in the days of Joshua and the Judges; Gibeon, which became important after the destruction of Shiloh (and Nob), and which was apparently associated with Saul; Hebron, which assumed great political importance in David's time (also mentioned frequently in narratives about the Patriarchs, but without connection with Jerusalem); and finally Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel since the days of Omri. A. Sodom - Jerusalem At the core of the narrative about the meeting between the king of Sodom and Abram, after the latter had conquered the great kings, two verses appear that relate to the encounter between Abram and Melchizedek, king of Salem3 1 See Y.

  • Introduction to Eschatology
    Introduction to Eschatology Prayer: We do not cease to thank you, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 that the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened; that we may intimately know the hope of Your calling and the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in us, 19 the exceeding greatness of His power toward the believers, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavens 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And You put all things under His feet, and made Him head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Eph 1:16-23) 25 Let us not refuse the voice of the Holy Spirit who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him in the past, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks now from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." 27 Now this, "once more," indicates the removal of those things that can be shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

That’s why I want you to just know what they are. Difficulties in Transmission of the Text 1. Inexact Quotations 2. Variant Reports 3. Contradictory Statements 4. Unscientific Expressions 5. Human Errors I’m not going to expect you to know a lot of details, but let’s start with a basic one that comes up often—inexact quotations. There are many of them. I gave you an example out of Isaiah 40:3, matching Matthew 3:3, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His path.” And you can see that there’s just a little variation in how it’s stated. Well, literally scores and scores of Old Testament quotations are like that in the New Testament. They are not quoted exactly. Now some people say, “Well maybe they are quoted off of the Greek Old Testament rather than the Hebrew, like the Septuagint.” That’s a big promoted thing among a lot of guys. A lot of pastors think that’s the deal. I think that is hustling too much. That’s like trying to “strain at a gnat” a little too much (cf.

But between 1997 and 2007, some speculate that Harry Potter might have surpassed the Bible in sales if it were not for the Gideons. This speaks to the world in which we now find ourselves. There is tremendous interest in things that are “spiritual” but much less interest in the true God revealed in the Bible. The Bible never tries to prove that God exists. He is everywhere assumed to be.
