2 Esdras in the 1611 King James Bible

This video was inspired by the videos on the page of Rousel12 which show images from the 1611 King James Bible. This video offers some insight into one of the illustrations found in the first edition of the King James Bible of 1611. The symbolism simultaneously affirms the divinity of Christ, and shows respect for those books disdainfully and improperly called "Apocrypha".

Wrong... It's a goose.

[AbuKhamrAlMaseeHee]

"Wrong, it's a goose"? Actually, the semantic range of the English word "hen" can include any female bird (e.g. do you know what the female equivalent of a peacock is called?), and this has been the case since perhaps the 14th century (i.e. since long before the translation of the KJV). So it being a goose or swan does not negate it being a hen.

All the OT prophets spoke, prophetically, in the name of and in the voice of, God. This hen quotation does not in any way "prove" Christ's divinity. It just as likely denotes that he spoke as the OT prophets spoke.

@Helixomni not at all.jezues is zues. Yahuwshua is the Messiah from the bible.

[Helixomni]

@EndIgnoranceb42012 so you believe that Yahuwshua and the Father Yahweh has a connection to Zeus?

[EndIgnoranceb42012]

@Helixomni yes His name is Yahuwshua and the Father Yahweh(YHWH)

I came across this video and decided to read 2 Esdras. It's a fascinating piece of apocalyptic writing, and very beautiful in many places. If it hadn't been relegated to the Apocrypha, I figure it would have become as popular as Revelation.

@Helixomni Jesus has nothing to do with any greek gods. His name is Jesus.

This was a great video, I had forgotten about this. Not only is the point useful for those who would dispute the divinity of Christ, but just as important for those who would dispute the fact that the New Testament doesnt use quotes from the Apocrypha.

[RebelAllianceMedia]

@Helixomni yes, it does.

The name Jesus; dose it really have any connections to Zeus a greek pagan god?
