Let the Wise Man Calculate his Number
For it is the Number of a Man:
That man's name is "Sin".
Sin separates the Spirit from one's soul and body,
Therefore, making one two thirds of a man.
The Sin in us, when one embraces it over God's righteousness
Turns us into a monster like Nero.
One becomes a pedant and hated by God,
Unable to divine the Word in anything,
And is unable to see any truth, and can
See a thing, only in its most literal sense.
One sees Solomon's Gold, and trifle for the riches of this world.
One counts Adonikam's Children, and stop believing the Word of God.
One then, at the end, subject one's soul and flesh to the Mark of the Beast
And are given an instrument of death, embedded in one's flesh.
And one can no longer do one's business, without this instrument,
And every thought and deed of one's mind, is wicked and abhorrent in the sight of God.
Let all who now say, "The Man of Wisdom calculates the Number of the Beast."

Wisdom is our lover, and our friend, the Word of God
And She preaches to us the way of life, and becomes our Beulah
For ever and ever. Amen, she is exceedingly beautiful
And a crown adorned on the head of the saints.
Take your crown from Wisdom, and flee the Mark of the Beast
Lest you be crowned on the forehead with a brazen mark of sin,
And adorned on your hand, a brazen spot in the flesh.

{...}Jerusalem in the Prophetic Texts is a story about our salvation. The Narrative of the Daughter of Zion throughout Biblical Prophecy, and how she’s besieged due to sin. It takes on individual and societal metaphors.

But, in the Eschatological framework of the Old Testament, you notice that Israel and Judah are besieged, and taken to Babylon, right? And then the Jews are restored in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah? Well, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah are our conversion to the Holy City.

Before we’re saved, we’re besieged by Sin, and depending on how bad it is, determines what level of punishment we receive. As, we all receive correction from the LORD. But, when we accept Christ, we’re restored to the Heavenly Kingdom, and receive the Kingdom as a reward. And in this life, we need to rebuild our walls, through the Spirit’s guidance.

I wouldn’t really say we ought to view God romantically, but there’s definitely a romance involving salvation. If you need to desire Heaven in that way, it’s not a sin.

The KJV is probably the one translation I would trust, in English, to get everything right. It has no omissions, footnotes, or even circumlocutions. It has the right word, based on a deep study of the text. In every circumstance where a Modern Bible retranslates a verse, the KJV had it right, and it actually preserves the older meaning.

Not to mention, if one can reach proficiency at understanding the KJV, the world of literature opens up to that person. By reading KJV English, you can read Spencer, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, Longfellow... the entire corpus of English Literature opens up to them, and a wealth of knowledge becomes accessible.

One of the strange things about English right now, is it's destroying its own language by making word order its simplest form, which leaves people with an inability to access works of literature, in their original wordings. Which means, much of the nuance of a text is lost in translation into Modern English, whereas in the King James Version, you get a Word for Word translation in the nuances of the original language.

And where you may find a modern scholar skeptical of a word, where they'll replace it with another, the KJV is based on older manuscripts that are no longer extant. The KJV is actually more trustworthy than modern Jewish Bibles, it's more trustworthy than any other translation--short of the Geneva Bible or Tindale--and it doesn't destroy the syntax or meaning, but preserves them. 

The obvious fact is, many of our modern translations, use more current manuscripts from extant Jewish and Greek. Back when the KJV was translated, they had earlier manuscripts of both Greek and Hebrew to work with, making the translation far more faithful to the original tongue. Many political reasons have caused the Jewish People to retranslate their bible, and basically destroy the nuance, and the exceedingly clear passages of Christ, for on every occasion where Christ would shine through, Jewish Bibles, and now Christian Bibles, have obscured it from the original language, where it was clear.

The KJV is a superior translation, to any other Bible out on the market. The fact is, if one can read the KJV, they can read any literature in English. The KJV is, also, a very accurate translation, based on older and more accurate manuscripts (Ones without political designs, like the Masoretic Text or Codex Leningrad). And the KJV was the only Bible to date, in the English Tongue, written to make peace. All other Bibles were written with political or profit motives... the KJV was authorized to be apolitical, and be a chief translation, with only itself to bear. It had no political motives, it had no reason for existing, other than to unite English Speakers, and it had no profit motive, as nobody was going to make money from the book.

For this reason, I elevate the King James Version above all other Bible Translations, and would promote it as the chief Translation of the Faith in English.
