Revelation of God: Book 1: The Beginning (Paperback or Softback)

Besides the various English versions, many might have heard about, but know little about, the different versions in their original languages. The Masoretic Text (Hebrew version) is known as the mainstay among Hebrew scholars. There is also the Septuagint, or the Greek version of the Bible, the Latin Vulgate, and finally, the Samaritan Text. Serious Bible students may have heard of these but often lack the ability to explore these different versions in depth. Fortunately, expert translations of each of these versions into English make it unnecessary to spend years learning the different "source" languages of the Bible. This work provides the King James verse alongside the same verse from different translators.

The intention of this work is to convert the casual Bible reader into a more serious reader, one who is intent on understanding the overall Plan of God, His works, and His purpose for mankind. It includes commentary on various subjects covered but not fully explained in the Bible, such as the concept of the Bride Price. For instance, few understand why Rachel did not bear Joseph until the end of Jacob's 14 years of labor. This work explains why God withheld giving Rachel a child until the end of those 14 years.

There are also archaeological sources and documents that provide evidence of various events in the Bible. The autobiography of Nebuchadnezzar, for example, offers detailed insights into his rule that are often omitted from conventional history. Additionally, the many Eponym Lists of the Assyrians and the Sumerian King List document the different ruling dynasties of the Babylonians, while sources like the Turin Canon provide information on Egyptian dynasties.

If you seek to know more about God, this work will assist you in your quest for truth.
