The
Holy Bible
King
James Modernized Version
Large
Print Edition.
The
Modernized Version utilizes the original text found in The King James
(Authorized) Version.
The
first and most important change will be noticed in the return of the
original names of God. Which is by far; “Supreme God” and
“JEHOVAH”, as well as “Almighty God” and “Eternal God”.
And the One Name which is the Most Holy: JAH. These are the names by
which He was known in the original sacred text.
But
His real names had failed to be included in the King James
Version. Thereby making the word “God” a mere generic
term. Which not only lacks the due respect that should be rendered to
the Divine Creator. But, also fails to make apparent the specific
attributes by which He had made Himself to be known. Thus robbing the
reader of the full understanding that was originally intended to be
offered in the Word of God. [And put yourself in His place, wouldn't
you be angry if you were not called by your given name?]
Further
modernization of the text was accomplished by replacing words such
as; “ye's”, “thine's”, “whence's”, etc., with the modern
day English equivalents, such as; “you”, “yours”, “where”,
etc. As well as by removing the old English suffixes such as; “est”,
“eth”, “ith”, etc. A few archaic words were also changed to
modern meaning. For example; words, such as: “knew”, were
expounded upon in the following manner: [had] sexual relations
[with]. In addition: “the LORD of hosts” was correctly translated
back to; "JEHOVAH of armies". All of this was done while
keeping the following in mind: "For I testify to every man
that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall
add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are
written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which
are written in this book."--Revelation 22:18, 19
Both
Cruden's Concordance 1835 Edition and Strong's Hebrew And Greek
Dictionaries were employed in order to ensure that the original
meaning, or at the very least the general meaning, of the sacred text
was retained. As well as so that Cruden's or Strong's Concordance, or
a Bible Dictionary, can easily be used for further clarification of
the scriptures.
Recognition
must also be given to Rick Meyers of e-Sword (Bible software -
http://www.e-sword.net/). Without which, it would have taken a
substantially longer period of time to complete this project.
This
work was undertaken in the hope of making the scriptures easier to
understand for the modern day reader. Every effort was made, with due
diligence, to maintain the correct structure and flow of the original
sacred text.

As well as those of His lineage, (to
around the time of the carrying away into Babylon).
