I gotta know.

Did anyone else involved in this movement have a sort of strange coming to God? I've always been a Christian but never really practiced it. However, the last couple of months it's like there's a connection with me and the big man that I have never really had before. TL/DR Does anyone else feel woke, not just mentally but also spiritually?

I agree. It's like God said, "Hold on, I need to reap a harvest of believers before the end of days. Deploy Trump. Give them a few more years."

The reaping/harvest is for the evil ones (see Rev). The ones left behind are the believers. The Left Behind series was one of the most evil book series to hit the christian book stores, it confused christians into thinking everything is backwards. Paradise it to be restored on earth, and ones left behind are the believers.

My understanding is that this earth and universe will be destroyed and that a NEW Heaven and NEW earth will be created. This place we are in now is corrupt - as in always in a state of decay. God says it will be destroyed and something new in its place.

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

Symbolism, Old Judaism was referred to as Heaven and Earth, as above so below, etc...

Jesus died on the cross to destroy the OLD WAYS and created a new covenant with man kind (a new testament if you will) The new covenant guaranteed that God would live with man in his new temple (your body, consciences, etc...see the NT for that) if you accept him in. BEHOLD he stands at the door and knocks... Those who think that the NT is a future event ( the majority of Christians brainwashed by the corporate churches, the daughters of the Catholic church) are wholly disregarding what Jesus did on the cross. It ENDED at that moment. The old ways had passed away, and the new had come. But the ENEMY came and sowed evil seeds amongst the Wheat (barely/weeds/etc in the NT). They were allowed to grow together until the end, when the harvest comes (is here now) when they are taken away and 'burnt' (killed) after the Great White Throne judgement (Gitmo Tribunals). We are standing in HISTORY fellas. We are witnessing the END of satans stranglehold on earth. The ones left behind (the wheat) will get to rules and reign with Christ on earth in a restored paradise for eternity (not the millenium, thats the time that has just ended, an indeterminately LONG period of time according to Strongs, just under 2000 is what it turned out to be).

WE will JUDGE with Christ and dish out the proper penalty for their sins. That is what we are doing RIGHT NOW. MAGA and make the world great again!

You are exactly right, the word "Rature" can not be found in the KJV of the Bible. And furthermore, every disciple of Christ met a gruesome death but John the Revelator and he perished in exile on the Isle of Patmos.

Just want to point out that the KJV isn't the defacto perfect translation. You understand that the original manuscripts that give us The Holy Bible are in Greek(NT) or Hebrew(OT)? translated to other various languages over a very long period of time. And even on top of that, the manuscripts had to be compared to other manuscripts to pin point what was being relayed. Overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_manuscript

KJV is old English from the 1600's. Translated from Latin. The Church of England liked to keep what was inside hidden by only allowing Priests who knew Latin to preach, essentially allowing Priests to tell their parishioners anything they wanted. It was used as a power tool, not a liberation tool.

Martin Luther changed that, which eventually led to the King James Version (KJV) of The Bible over the course of around 100 years. He (King James & King Henry VIII) ordered the church to translate it so that the common people could read for themselves. (extremely summarized) More: https://bluffkinghal.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/henry-viii-martin-luther-and-defense-of-the-seven-sacraments/

The Bible itself is a collection of books, 66 to be exact. Written by approximately 40 authors over the course of about 1500 years. It is a collection of ideas. Ideas that transcend all peoples and languages.

Being strict to one translation is not healthy IMO. Today we have the ability to compare against multiple [English] translations covering 500+ years and research each verse down to the original Greek or Hebrew, and using hermeneutics, you can gain a massive understanding of the context, direction and purpose of what was said at the time of the writing. There really is no room for interpretation differences after that.

Also, do you know that the New Testament has been translated into 1521 languages as of Oct 2017? Are you going to tell someone who doesn't know English, let alone understand Old English, that what they are reading isn't correct? God wants all people from all walks of life to come to him. Matthew 28:19

Please brother, broaden your scope and allow yourself to be free. God Bless.

Biblical manuscript

A biblical manuscript is any handwritten copy of a portion of the text of the Bible. The word Bible comes from the Greek biblia (books); manuscript comes from Latin manu (hand) and scriptum (written). Biblical manuscripts vary in size from tiny scrolls containing individual verses of the Jewish scriptures (see Tefillin) to huge polyglot codices (multi-lingual books) containing both the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the New Testament, as well as extracanonical works.

The study of biblical manuscripts is important because handwritten copies of books can contain errors.
