“And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Revelation 22:19 KJV)
The New Age movement’s expressed goal of infiltrating the evangelical church and gradually changing the Bible to conform to it’s One World Religion is evident in the current new age bible versions. Their words and doctrines prepare the apostate church of these last days to accept the Antichrist, his mark, image, and religion – Lucifer worship. The emerging 'new' Christianity – with its substitution of riches for righteousness, a crown for a cross, and an imitation for a new creation – is shown to be a direct result of the wording in new versions. The Greek manuscripts, critical editions, lexicons and dictionaries behind the new versions are occult in origin, content, and yet unreleased material -- a blueprint for the Antichrist's One World Religion and government.
One of these new age bible versions – the "New King James Bible" (NKJB) – is promoted by the Thomas Nelson publishers as an "update" to the original “1611 Authorized Version” [the “King James Version” (KJV)] having ‘only’ replaced the ‘obsolete’ English words with equivalent ‘modern’ English words. In support of this new age bible version, a prominent fundamentalist, Dr. Jerry Falwell of Lynchburg, Virginia, has had the following to say about the NKJV: "This new edition preserves all of the truth and authority of the original [KJV], but makes it much easier to read and understand. It protects every thought, every idea, every word, just as it was intended to be understood by the original scholars."
However, what ‘they’ claim about the NKJV is far from the truth! The word ‘changes’ in the NKJV have brought about an entirely new meaning to the original KJV text, with the added footnotes – based upon the corrupt manuscripts – encouraging the reader to question the authenticity of the original KJV text, the Word of God. The following is only a very small portion of the Thomas Nelson Publishers’ description of ‘the changes’ made to the original KJV in order to produce their 1982 edition of the NKJV:
| The Old Testament Text – For the New King James Version the text used was the 1967/1977 Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Hebraica, with frequent comparisons being made with the Bomberg edition of 1524-25. The Septuagint (Greek) Version of the Old Testament and the Latin Vulgate also were consulted. In addition to referring to a variety of ancient versions of the Hebrew Scriptures, the NKJV draws on the resources of relevant manuscripts from the Dead Sea caves. In a few places where the Hebrew was so obscure that the 1611 King James was compelled to follow one of the versions, but where information is now available to resolve the problems, the NKJV follows the Hebrew text. Significant variations are recorded in the center reference column. | The New Testament – The King James New Testament was based on the traditional text of the Greek-speaking churches, first published in 1516, and later called the ‘Textus Receptus’ or ‘Received Text’. Although based on the relatively few available manuscripts, these were representative of many more which existed at the time but only became known later. In the late nineteenth century, B. Wescott and F. Hort taught that this text had been officially edited by the fourth-century church, but a total lack of historical evidence for this event has forced a revision of the theory. It is now widely held that the Byzantine Text that largely supports the Texus Receptus has as much right as the Alexandrian or any other tradition to be weighed in determining the text of the New Testament. |
The following are only a few of the many examples of this New Age Religion corruption in the ‘New King James Version’:
Psalms 109:5-6
King James Version: “And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.”
New King James Version: “Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. Set a wicked man over him, And let an *accuser stand at his right hand. (*Note: Hebrew satan)”
Ephesians 3:9
King James Version: “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:”
New King James Version: “and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things *through Jesus Christ; (*Note: NU-Text omits through Jesus Christ..)”
1 John 5:6-8
King James Version: “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”
New King James Version: “This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: *the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. (*Note: NU-Text and M-Text omit the words from in heaven [1 John 5:7] through on earth [1 John 5:8]. Only four or five very late manuscripts contain these words in Greek.)”
Mark 16:15-18
King James Version: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
New King James Version: “*And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (*Note: Mark 16:9-20 is bracketed in NU-Text as not original. It is lacking in Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus, although nearly all other manuscripts of Mark contain it.)”
