Psalm 56

1 Be merciful unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.

2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for many fight against me, O thou most High.

3 When I was afraid, I trusted in thee.

4 I will rejoice in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

5 Mine own words grieve me daily: all their thoughts are against me to do me hurt.

6 They gather together, and keep themselves close: they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

7 They think they shall escape by iniquity: O God, cast these people down in thine anger.

8 Thou hast counted my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy register?

9 When I cry, then mine enemies shall turn back; this I know, for God is with me.

10 I will rejoice in God because of his word; in the Lord will I rejoice because of his word.

11 In God do I trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God, I will render praises unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and also my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Contemplation Seed 13

Saying 13: “Imagination is the key to the kingdom of god.” What is the kingdom of god? It is the realm of god. Each heart is a home within this realm. God is as a king to us and we are subject to IT. The translation from Hebrew “I am that I am” (Exodus 3:14) is, more properly, rendered “I will be that which I will be.” (translated by Dr. Naomi Wolf, Outspoken Podcast; “Geneva Bible Reading…

Satan's Fingerprints

Satan’s Fingerprints

New Bible translations, aka corrupt Bibles, aka Catholic Bibles, aka Bible perversions, are a nothing but a minefield. Do most people out there even know what they are getting themselves into when purchasing one of these blasphemous books? The NIV and NASB are nothing but Seventh Day Adventist and Jehovah’s Witness Bibles.  The NIV denigrates the deity of Christ which fits in well with the…

Why Buy the 1560 Geneva Bible Facsimile

If you consider the Protestant Bible translation’s history, the Geneva Bible stands tall. It was the first English Bible, where the scriptures were divided into numbered verses. Its publication was a huge accomplishment, which makes owning the 1560 Geneva Bible facsimile reproduction worth it.

Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, the Geneva Bible was the most dominant and widely read English Bible. It played a significant role in promoting scripture literacy among the common people of England.

This was the first time when a Bible came equipped with study resources to help England’s common people easily understand the scriptures. The marginal notes of this Bible included around 300,000 words. This was close to one-third of the text.

These notes were one of the principal reasons behind the soaring popularity of the Geneva Bible. The level of popularity of this Bible could be understood with a single instance - Shakespeare quoted the Geneva Bible in his plays more than 5,000 times!

Why Buy the 1560 Geneva Bible Facsimile?

Not everyone may find the steep price tag of the original 1560 Geneva Bible affordable. But it doesn’t mean you should kill your desire to own and read this historical Bible. The best solution is to get hold of a 1560 Geneva Bible facsimile reproduction.

You just need to ensure you buy it from a reliable dealer of antique and rare Bibles to make your investment worth it. Else, you may end up getting an unauthentic replica with missing pages and illustrations.

What to Look for in a 1560 Geneva Bible Facsimile Reproduction?

You should check for the unique features in your 1560 Geneva Bible facsimile reproduction, some of which were quite radical. One is the numbered verses that each chapter has. Secondly, you should check for the cross-references and explanatory notes in the margin intended to help the readers.

Thirdly, this Bible has a user-friendly Roman-style typeface. This was a deviation from the Gothic Blackletter-style typeface common during those times.

Fourthly, your facsimile should have 30+ woodcut illustrations and maps portraying Biblical views, including labeled images of the Ark of the Covenant, Tabernacle, and more. Since the Geneva Bible had the Apocrypha, you should ensure your 1560 Geneva Bible facsimile reproduction has it too.

Final Words

In Biblical history, the Geneva Bible is the lone Bible that outsold the King James Bible and even exceeded its popularity. Its fame continued until its printing was stopped in 1644. The Geneva Bible was the first Bible brought to America and upon which the nation was founded.

To own a piece of this fascinating history, albeit in a budget-friendly manner, you should get yourself a 1560 Geneva Bible facsimile reproduction.

Do not offer any part of yourself to sin

Neither give ye your members, as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin: but give yourselves unto God, as they that are alive from the dead, and give your members as weapons of righteousness unto God. — Romans 6:13 | Geneva Bible (GNV) Geneva Bible, 1599 Edition.

wonderful history of how the Geneva Bible morphed into the Bishop's Bible and finally the King James version:

"However, the Geneva Bible was hated by both the nobility and the Church. The problem was those pesky marginal notes and cross-references! They were critical of the growing problem of slavery; an issue for English ship captains who were beginning to make money transporting slaves from Africa to the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in South America. The notes criticized the clergy, supporting the idea of lay elders rather than only a professional class. They were also critical of the Pope, and worst of all, they were against the divine right of the king to rule.  

The only solution was to block it. In 1568, the Bishops Bible was published. Although partially using the Tyndale work, it mostly translated from the Latin Vulgate. It contained numerous errors and had to be revised more than 50 times over the next few years. Though it incorporated the chapter and verse breaks of the Geneva, its multiple errors and revisions were too problematic. The Geneva remained popular, and despite many reprints, the Geneva did not require any revisions. When James ascended to the throne of England, he came with the opinion that God gave him the throne and that his right to rule was an absolute divine right. The Geneva stood in his way. Maybe the people listened to the clergy preach from the Bishops Bible, but at home they read the Geneva, taught their children from the Geneva, and discovered the errors of the church by studying the Geneva.

Consequently, James assembled a team of “translators” in 1611. Using the idea that they were not making a new translation, but making a “good one better” (meaning the Bishops Bible), they published the King James Bible. It, too, incorporated the Geneva chapter and verse breaks. It also included the Apocrypha, books the Roman church used, but which had been removed from the Geneva (the 1560 edition did include the books in an “inter-testamental” section). No marginal notes, no cross-references (as late as 1715, some publishers did include at least some marginal notes). It was a publishing failure. The people did not flock to the new Bible, they continued to use the tried and true Geneva. What could the king do? He banned the publishing of the Geneva Bible, and authorized only his new Bible to be published in English. So, from 1616 forward, the Geneva began to fade from history. The King James underwent several revisions, the most important being the removal of the Apocrypha, although it continued to be included in some printings into the 1800’s. All of the KJV printings prior to 1666 contained the Apocrypha, and the inclusion of it ended entirely in 1826 - for cost-savings, not because it does not belong!"
