One of the fundamental deceptions being promoted by modern Bible publishers is that the new Bibles are merely "updated styles of writing," or that they are simply "easier to read" than the KJV, and that nothing has been removed or changed in God's word. I fell prey to this deception for over a decade of my Christian life!!
You've heard the old saying, "the proof is in the pudding." Well, in this situation, the proof is in the changes. Take a look at just a few of the changes between the Textus Receptus translation (KJV) and the translations (NIV, NASB) based upon codices Sinaiticusand Vaticanus. It will astonish you.
Do these verse charts in some way prove that the KJV is perfect? Of course not, and they are not meant to. The KJV does have errors, some of which are corrected in modern versions such as the NIV (e.g. Acts 12:4, where the KJV erroneously has "Easter," while the NIV and modern versions, and the Textus Receptus, have "Passover"). What these charts will do is stir you to study. When you see glaring differences between Bible versions that create shrouds of doubt surrounding the veracity of "sola scriptura," you should want to know why these differences exist.
Personally, I do believe that the very nature of the differences can convince someone that the modern Bibles are based on corrupt manuscripts, as they make Christ less than equal with God (and even talk about Joseph being his "father"), they lessen the atonement, and they remove the need for repentance and walking in the Spirit. But that is not the primary goal here. The goal is to prove to you that all Bibles do not say the same thing.
Why is this important? It is simple: if two books say different things, or if two books say inherently contradictory things, or if of two books one says more than the other, they cannot both be God's Word.

Bible verses that have been changed in other translations.
Dream: "I wait for... 2 years unto the end of years." (September 19, 2009)
Dream “2 years unto the end of years”
Dream Day info:
Saturday Morning, 9/19/2009, Night of the New Moon
1st day Rosh Hashanah (Feast of the Trumpets)
Original Writing: (With comments of a few weeks later)
I had a vivid dream on September 19, 2009 that has stay with me in memory for many days to come. I was on my way to some kind of event, I entered into a large building, dim lights but I could see that there was a lot of people, old friends, current friends, family, people I knew, people I didn't know... It seemed like everyone was there.
I walked around through 2 rows, looking for a place to sit, I could tell there was even more people there but the further I looked the darker it was. I found a seat on the 3rd row, first seat from the walk way next to a pillar. I could see that there was a 2 step stage were a dark figure was. and he looked like he was waiting for someone or something, and there was no one else up there but him. As he waited a bit, he took out a paper and started to read. He read two simple sentences that stuck in my head through the night. He read "I wait for...” There was a small pause and then... “2 years unto the end of years." and then I awoke.
I am waiting for confirmation of it's meaning. But if the dream came with the interpretation because of what we are told to watch for as a sign of the ends of time.. I think he was the representation of the Son of Perdition to be revealed before the last week that Daniel prophesied of.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (Whole Chapter)
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Rosh ha-Shanah (rosh hu-shä'nu) [key][Heb.,=head of the year], the Jewish New Year, also known as the Feast of the Trumpets. It is observed on the first day of the seventh month, Tishri, occurring usually in September. Rosh ha-Shanah is held in great reverence as the Day of Judgment (Yom ha-Din), the beginning of the 10-day period concluding with Yom Kippur and known as the “Days of Awe,” during which, according to tradition, all the people of the earth pass before the Lord and are marked in the “Book of Life” or in the “Book of Death.” A distinguishing feature of the New Year is the blowing of the shofar (a ram's horn), which summons Jews to penitential observance. Orthodox and Conservative Jews celebrate Rosh ha-Shanah for two days; most Reform congregations celebrate the first day.

a little proof the pre-trib rapture is new and not believed in even 2 decades ago
"Oh, when the saints go marching in"
Gospel song written by unknown writer circa 1800's
Here's a little proof the pre-tribulation rapture is new and was not believed in even 2 decades ago.
These are the actual original lyrics and you will notice that the coming of the Lord and our gathering to him is in the same instance all happening after the sun turns black and the moon red. A lot of new versions have been changed to say "when the sun begins to shine" which doesn't even make any sense, but spirits of error like it that way.
Jesus said, (John 6:53-55) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed."
So when is the last day?

- We are trav'ling in the footsteps
- Of those who've gone before,
- And we'll all be reunited,
- On a new and sunlit shore,
- Oh, when the saints go marching in
- Oh, when the saints go marching in
- Lord, how I want to be in that number
- When the saints go marching in
- And when the sun refuse to shine
- And when the sun refuse to shine
- Lord, how I want to be in that number
- When the sun refuse to shine
- And when the moon turns red with blood
- And when the moon turns red with blood
- Lord, how I want to be in that number
- When the moon turns red with blood
- Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
- Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
- Lord, how I want to be in that number
- When the trumpet sounds its call
- Some say this world of trouble,
- Is the only one we need,
- But I'm waiting for that morning,
- When the new world is revealed.
- Oh When the new world is revealed
- Oh When the new world is revealed
- Lord, how I want to be in that number
- When the new world is revealed
- Oh, when the saints go marching in
- Oh, when the saints go marching in

The thorny vine that is no more
The thorny vine that is no more
Oh thou thorny vine in my garden...
Thou has wrapped your thorny branches in my tree,
to make it's tender fruits unreachable.
Thou has sorounded the shade of the tall tree
and made its shadow and rest be far from me.
Thou has grown out tall and said:
"I have no master.
I stand tall and proud and no bare hand can uproot me!
Although many have tried, I have remained.
I have kept you from goodness and goodness from you!"
Behold, I have made the fruit and shade altogether useless.
But I walked through the garden to clean and subdue it
and you stretched out your deadly arm to entangle me
and lo you did and so I was bruised and you said to yourself
"Look, see, I have bruised you, leave me alone to grow."
and you grew prideful in your heart over the night.
But lo, I went home, and slept and and rested and the next morning I returned
and though your thorns were many and long and deadly and sharp
the sword in my hand was sharper
and strength was given me to cut you and tear you to pieces
all of the day I toiled and fought
and you were uprooted from the stump of your roots
and you were utterly destroyed and not a trace of you did remain
and you were gathered in bundles to be prepared for the fire
that you would not grow again and no trace of you shall be left
and lo the ground is now free from your thorns
and the garden from your deadly trap
and the shade of the tree is come again
and the fruits are become reachable
and now oh thorny vine, you are no more
and the bruise of your thorns shall be remembered no more
Message for our Times: Submit, Prepare, Watch, Receive
Message for our Times: Submit, Prepare, Watch, Receive
Look around... We are living in a time like no other in history. Research for yourself how many bible prophecies have been fulfilled. How can a book written so many centuries ago by a number of people be so exact? Only because it is the inspired Word of God. When you believe and become a new creature, you grow in the Truth that is Jesus Christ and in the knowledge and wisdom of God. You must become aware of all the gifts and revelations that God has given to you. Day by day you should be more and more like Christ and have a more and more clearer understanding of the path God wants you to take.
I would like to share my decade long revelation for these times. They are collected from a vision, a spiritual revelation and from 2 recent dreams during the past 10 years. I have summarized them into 4 keyword steps to being ready:
1. SUBMIT: The first step is submission to God and His will. In order to even be presented to God, we must become believers in His Son Jesus Christ, repenting from our sins and denying ourselves and the world, that we may have His Righteousness imputed unto us, that we may walk in Love and Truth and in the Spirit.
James 4:7 Submit Yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
II Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Revelations 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
2. PREPARE: We must prepare daily to be able to walk in the Spirit through daily prayer and meditation in His Word and participating in the work of His ministry of Love & Peace.
I John 2:5-6 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
Luke 1:17 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.
3. WATCH: Because we are prepared Spiritually in all good things and in the knowledge of God and His Christ and in all knowledge of the truth, we are able to walk with real perception of all that is, so we may know the seasons and times that we are in, that we may be wise and ready for His calling. Only in the Spirit can we rightly divide the Word of Truth.
Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors. Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Luke 21:36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
I Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
I Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. I Peter 5:8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour... Revelations 3:2-3 Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Revelations 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
4. RECEIVE: We receive the Spirit of truth when we believe, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit within but there will come a day when the Spirit of God will be poured upon all flesh that the Son’s of God may be separated unto Him. That we may be able to stand in the days of tribulation and of trials.
I John 2: 28 And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. Acts 2:38 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
May God reveal His Truth through us.

Rapture and Resurrection of the Saints happen together.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
At the last trump...
1 Corinthians 15:51-52:
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Only one resurrection of the righteous dead.
Resurrection at Christ's 2nd coming then the end, when all enemies under His feet.
1 Corinthians 15:21-26:
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ's, at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
Christ to sit at God's right hand until all enemies are put under His feet.
Acts 2:34-35:
34 For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ's, at his coming.

21 whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been from of old.

10 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they?

37 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

The Day of the Lord... Wrath for the wicked... Redeeming for the righteous...
Isaiah 34:2-4
2 For Jehovah hath indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading leaf from the fig-tree.
Isaiah 34:8:
8 For Jehovah hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
Isaiah 63:4:
20 and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus:

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed."

Meaning of the cross in scripture
The meaning of the word "cross" is "stake," (Gr. stauros), an instrument on which criminals were put to death (crucified) by the Romans in the first century. The meaning of the word "crucify" is "to crucify," (Gr. stauroo), to put to death on a stake or a cross.
Jesus said to His followers during His ministry on earth,
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake, shall find it." Matt. 10:38,39.
Jesus said, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his
life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find
it." Matt. 16:24,25.
And He (Jesus) was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come
after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and
follow Me." Luke 9:23.
Jesus said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me
cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:27.
And after they had mocked Him (Jesus), they ...... led Him away to
crucify Him. Matt. 27:31.
They took Jesus therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to
the place called the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew,
Golgotha. John 19:17.
Jesus sent Paul to preach .... that the cross of Christ should not be
made void. For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing
foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1
Cor. 1:17,18.
Paul said, But may it never be that I should boast, except in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been
crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal. 6:14.
Paul said, Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
or of me His prisoner; but join with me in suffering for the gospel
according to the power of God, who has saved us, and called us with a
holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own
purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all
eternity, but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior
Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality
to light through the gospel. (1st Timothy 1:8-10).
