Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3:10.One: An hour of temptation is coming. It is an hour in comparison to the ages of general tribulation that have fallen on parts of the earth. It is an hour, only a short time, yet an exceedingly intense time. It contains more tribulation than that of all the previous ages combined.Two: It will be upon all the earth. It will not be in only the "trouble spots" of the earth; the entire earth will feel the full weight of its fury. Three: Those who kept the word of his patience during times of general tribulation will be kept from the time of great tribulation. During these times of general tribulation, faith is exercised to wait in patience for His Return: Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain (Jms 5:7).Four: Believers will be kept from (Gr. ek) the terrible hour. They will not go through it, but will be kept from it. This is a key passage demonstrating that the Rapture of believers will take place before the terrible time of trouble. The coming Tribulation is one unit composed of Seven Seals containing Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials. We will not go through any part of it.
Was Codex sinaiticus Written In 1840!What the Newspapers Reported:Worldwide newspaper coverage greeted the 1933 London arrival of Codex Sinaiticus. The following was from the Sidney Morning Herald.CODEX SINAITICUSOn View at Museum.INSPECTED BY 3500 PEOPLE.LONDON, Dec. 27. 1933The Codex Sinaiticus, within a red and gold enamelled box, wrapped in cotton wool and brown paper, arrived at the British Museum this morning.Dr. Bell, Keeper of Manuscripts, spent two hours testing its authenticity, after which it was installed in the entrance hall, where a queue speedily formed. About people inspected the manuscript 3500, of them placing a contribution, sometimes a Treasury note, in the box alongside.Visitors generally were amazed at the wonderful state of its preservation and the clearness of the script. Mr. Ernest Maggs, who negotiated the sale, says: "The at first asked £500,000, but when real discussions commenced the price was reduced to £200,000. At £100,000 it was a wonderful bargain."Sir George Hill, director of the British Museum, says that sentimentally the Codex is beyond the value of the Elgin marbles, Which is placed at £1,500,000.Note the amazement at its "wonderful state of preservation" and it being a "wonderful bargain" at £100.000. That today is about Seven Million Pounds. THEY PAID TOO MUCH ! These are strange days, but for those who believe there are good reasons to hold to the King James Bible and the text upon which it is based, nothing is stranger than the account of a forgotten but now re-emerging debate that took place after the 1844 "discovery" of Codex Sinaiticus. It now appears that the HOUSE OF CARDS upon which the Modern Version Text is based is far weaker than we could have imagined. Unlike other Biblical controversies, much of what we know about this one appeared in the British Press; mainly in 1862 and 1863.J.A. Moorman
