I lean to KJV translation, but occasionally I crack open another version and check out certain concepts, etc.
Many NIV versions don't even include intros to books, but I just happen to have one that has a very interesting intro to 1 Samuel.
It claims that 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings were once one long book that was called the "Book of Reigns."
Here is the conclusion of the intro. Look closely.
"The Book of Reigns is therefore
a tragic closing of the whole covenant history that began in Genesis. Just as the first humans were exiled from God's garden,
now Israel is sent out of the "new Eden" God intended in the promised land.
Land and temple have been lost in the darkness of judgment, and only a flickering light remains. The deeper purpose of God for Israel -- seems to have been frustrated. But hope remains alive in God's promise to bring a descendant of David back to the throne."
(Note: you can't
lose something you didn't
already have.)
Pretty interesting and very significant.
(I know, you'll claim this says nothing and doesn't exist. -That's actually
the only way you can continue to hold to your false doctrine of Millennialism; you must outright
ignore scripture and all comments/translations of it that 100% deny a Millennial reign of Christ upon the earth.)
All good. God bless.
