The study of the right division will bring back your joy,
excitement and interest in yearning for more spiritual things.
The spiritual things being compared to, are the words of God
(John 6:63) finding all the verses that compliments each other
instead of contradicting, providing a steady and smooth flow as of
water (Eph 5:26) that is being poured into a pipeline and when you
remain in this manner of study, you can always check if it’s a private
interpretation (II Peter 1:20) or a “wrest of the scriptures” (II Pet
3:16)
“Rightly dividing the word of truth” (II Tim 2:15) will provide
you a structural analysis of the King James Bible enabling you to see
and appreciate the wonder of its inspiration and preservation which
guarantees that every word is important and not one should be
ignored but always take into consideration ( Matt 5:18 ; Psalms
12:6,7 ; Matt 24:35)
Our study will mainly focus on several topics that have bearing
on Redemption and Kingdom program perfectly laid out for our study
with the best teacher (John 14:26) using only one “Book” (KJB) as our
textbook. (John 16:13; John 17:17)

For the first time an innocent lamb; (John 1:29 ; Isa 34:6,7 ;
Num 22:23) without spot or blemish (Exodus 12) who walks
obediently to the Angel of the Lord without bleating (Isa 53:1-8) and
meekly bows its head (John 19:30) and the drawn sword of Numbers
22:23 shed its blood. Thus, we have the testator and its death, which
is why the central focus of attention concerning the redemptive
program of God from Genesis to Revelation is a lamb.

The natural flow of the verses as in water (Eph 5:26) will find
its rightful place supplying us a continuous flow of truth as God
reveals them enabling us to understand that this King James Bible is
alive (Hebrews 4:12 ; I Peter 1:23,25) and instructing us to study in
such a manner provided:
God gave us the “holy scriptures” (II Timothy 3:15, 16) in the
King James Bible and this Bible has a built in structure to interpret
itself. (Genesis 40:8) There is no need to go outside of the Book and
look for another authority for “none shall want her mate” (Isa 34:16)
it’s verses will interpret themselves, all you have to do is read it,
have you read it? How many times? Paul said that “…when ye read,
ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ.” (Eph
3:4)
Original earth was with singular heaven, inhabited by Lucifer and “his angels”

Genesis 3:24
Because of Adam’s disobedience he lost glory and honour plus
the opportunity to have eternal life. (Genesis 3:17)
“In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, promised before the world began;”
Titus 1:2
15

“But is now made manifest by the preaching of our Saviour Jesus Christ who hath
abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel”
II Timothy 1:10
In this period of the Church Age, eternal life is available as a free gift (Rom 5:15-18)
through the gospel (I Cor 15:1-4) but after the rapture eternal life can no longer be
offered as a gift but is conditioned upon something.
Revelation 2:7
“… To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life…”
Revelation 22:14
“Blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have the right to the tree of
life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
Within these periods, Tribulation, Millennium going to Eternity, provision of eternal
life requires obedience to the commandments and overcoming. It’s definitely not just
based on anyone’s belief but of works. A sound mind and a good heart will make a
man understand and believe what the Bible said but a weak mind because of bad heart
will make a man furious and hate what the Bible is saying because he hates God. (John
12:48; Galatians 4:16)

17 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
A. Sinless State
B. Law of Sin and Death were given (Rom 8:12; Gen 2:15-17)
In this period sin is not yet an issue but God instructed and
warned Adam that if they will disobey, death will surely come
C. God’s Requirements
1. Obedience – abstain from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
(Gen 2:17)
2. Accept the gift, eat of the tree of life and live forever (Gen 3:22-24)

After the fall, three kinds of death are in operation (Gen 35:18;
Eph 2:1; Rev 21:8)
18
19 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
On the day they disobeyed, they both died, but what kind of
death? Is it Physical? Adam died 930 years old (Gen 5:5) Second
Death? They are still on earth! What kind of death?
Matthew 8:21, 22 shed light on this “… let the dead bury their
dead.”
The Spirit part died, the Soul and Body stuck together making
the soul in unity with the body. (Psalms 119:25)
Man’s soul is now contaminated with every sin that the body
has which is now what the apostle Paul identified as the “body of
sins” (Col 2:11) “body of death” (Rom 7:25; Rom 7:18) anything this
body touches, the soul touches (Lev 22:6; Lev 5) the soul is now
under or subject to the power of the flesh (Rom 7:5) which is the
standard operating procedure under “the law of sin and death”
This is the very reason why God cannot justify any man living
in the Old Testament (Psa 143:2) they can be forgiven (Exo 34:7) but

they cannot be justified because they are all under the power of sin.
(Rom 3:9)

in Leviticus 16, two goats were required, one of them will be loosed
in the wilderness as “the scapegoat” which bears all their iniquities
(Lev 16:21-22) as Christ did on the cross (I Pet 2:24) but the other
one which “the sin offering” (Lev 16:10-27) will be burned, both
sacrifices were fulfilled by Christ, on the cross, he offered his body
(Heb 10:10) how about his soul?
Isaiah 53:10 says “… when thou shall make his soul an offering
for sin…” and must be burned in hell (Acts 2:27, 31)
Will this hold water? Is the Bible really teaching that? Good
question, if you will take the Berean’s attitude (Acts 17:10,11)
instead of panic and tantrums you yourself can answer the question
and surely thank the Lord as the Scripture unfolds it.
“the lamb” – not just any lamb but “the lamb” (Exo
12:4)
The Passover lamb was killed (Exo 12:6) the blood was applied
(Exo 12:7) then it was burned without water (Exo 12:9, 10) before
they will eat it. The same way with Christ our Passover Lamb (I Cor
5:7) killed on the cross (Acts 2:36) shed his blood (John 19:34) went

21
22 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
to hell as a sin offering to be burnt offering his soul. (Isa 53:10; Acts
2:27, 31) Also went there in hell to preach unto them that dwell in it.
(I Pet 3:18-20; II Pet 2:4, 5)
22
23 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
Christ is not just a bearer of sin, but sin was personified in him
exactly as what the Lord told in John 3:14 he quoted a serpent lifted
up in the wilderness applying to himself.
We know that the Devil which is Satan is (Rev 12:9) the author
of sin (Ezek 28:15; John 8:44; I John 3:8) When the son of man was
lifted up on the cross he received God’s wrath in his body (Heb
10:10) taking the place of the perfect “scapegoat” (Lev 16:20-28)
and his soul received it in hell, suffering for us (Matt 26:39; Rev
14:10,11; Isa 53:10; Acts 2:27,31; I Pet 3:18;19) and this time taking
the place of “the sin offering” *(Lev 16:20-28) which is to be burned.
The answer lies in the sign given by the Lord when asked by
the scribes and Pharisees, (Matt 12:38-40) the only sign given to
them was the sign of Jonah and what is the sign all about?
23
24 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
So, Jonah is telling us that when that big fish (which is a whale
according to the Lord (Matt 12:40) swallowed him! He died; his body
is in the belly of fish, while his soul went to hell.
24
25 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
don’t go outside the book! Never correct the King James Bible with
your scholarship falsely so called.
So the Lord plainly gave that sign for them and for us to know
how great the love bestowed upon us who believe, because even
that that eternal suffering in hell was endured by Christ to obtain:
Redemption, Justification, Propitiation, Substitution, and most of all,
victory over the power of that place for us that’s why in his
resurrection he has in his possession two keys:
Hell is the place for departed soul of unsaved people from the
time of Adam up to the Great White Throne Judgment.
25
26 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
So Christ upon death was buried, left his body in the grave,
while his soul went to hell (Acts 2:27, 31) to suffer for our sins and to
preach to its prisoners, (I Pet 3:18-20; II Pet 2:4, 5) Then went to
Abraham’s Bosom which is now called “Death” and led captivity
captive. (Eph 4)

that because of my presence, but anyway I’m used to it, pastors who
stopped learning from the “Book” tend to get angry when confronted
with certain truths, from the Bible, instead of taking the Bereans’
attitude as a pattern. (Acts 17:10,11) The pastor’s statement is a by
product of ignorance and hearsay, if he only given time to sit down in
some of our teaching sessions I’m sure he will not say that, but the
problem is, majority of pastors nowadays are so busy politicking and
have no more time to dig deeper for his primarily calling which is to
“feed the church of God” (Acts 20:28; Eph 4:11-14; Col 1:28; I Pet
5:1-4)

God is not looking for any righteous persons but for sinners
that will repent.
“And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and
the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (I John 5:8)
The Holy Spirit possesses the blood of Christ (Heb 9:14) and flooded
the whole universe. (Jer 23:24) So anywhere, anytime, whosoever
repents and believe “the gospel” can escape God’s wrath in hell
(John 3:36) truly, man has no excuse (Rom 1:20) the grace that
bringeth salvation is presently being offered. (Rom 1:16; Rom 3:25)

35 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
The word ”Faith” has been the subject of religious debates for
many years and up until now, no satisfying argument ever shed light
on the subject among the protagonists. The only authority that will
settle the issue is none other than the Book of Faith, the King James
Bible, that clearly defines and show that there is a distinction of faith
from the Old Testament to the faith in the New Testament.
35
36 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
Habakkuk 2:4 defines what kind of faith is existing in that dispensation “… the just
shall live by his faith.”
God deals with people in sundry times and in divers manner (Heb 1:1) providing
specific instruction for a specific need that may occur in different circumstances in a
given period of time, although instruction may differ, there is only one requirement
through the ages and that is OBEDIENCE.
Romans 10:5 is telling us that faith of a man under the law believes that they can
establish their own righteousness by obeying the law. (Deu 6:24,25; Phil 3:6; Matt
5:20)
“For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, that the man which doeth
those things shall live by them.”
Romans 10:5)
That is why Habakkuk 2:4 says
2. Matthew 27 – Revelation 4
36
37 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
Romans 11:7
The apostle Paul purposely omitted the personal pronoun “his”
when he quoted Habakkuk 2:4 because he is now revealing “the
mystery of the faith.” (I Tim 3:9) which will make a distinction
between faith of a just man (Hab 2:4) under the Old Testament as
against “… by faith of Jesus Christ…” (Gal 3:22) under the New
Testament
37
38 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
The same applies to everyone who was under the law until
“the faith” comes when the law ended (Rom 10:4) and provide
justification by that “one faith” that saves. (Eph 4:5)

A thousand year reign of the Lord Jesus Christ will come and
will continue throughout eternity. (Rev 20:6; Isa 9:6, 7; Eph 1:10;
Luke 1:30-33)
(Psa 24:7-10; Psa 2:12; Psa 72:8,9; Isa 26:10; Isa 60:14; Matt

So in Romans 10 Apostle Paul settled the issue once and for all,
declaring that any man who will hold on to his own “righteousness
which is of the law” (Rom 10:5) is ignorant of “God’s righteousness
which is of faith” (Rom 10:1-4; Rom 10:6)

51 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
For anyone whose final authority is the King James Bible will
not have a hard time understanding and receiving this truth, but for
people whose authority is not of this “Book” will never receive and
humble themselves to acknowledge that these things are true, they
will reject any proof you produce, instead of weighing the evidences,
they will simply walk away with hatred and start to malign you with
different name calling but, it doesn’t matter anymore, the best judge
is the Lord through his holy scriptures, all of its testimonies will keep
on testifying throughout eternity. (Matthew 24:35)

Did you get that? Law became a factor in salvation during this
period.
The law was dispensed to Moses (John 1:17; Exo 20) and
making him a mediator between God and Israel (Gal 3:19; Exo 20:19)
providing the three basic division of the law:
1. Commandments
(Exo 20:1-6)
2. Judgments
54

3. Ordinances
For a gentile who doesn’t have the written law, they will be
answerable to God through their conscience. (Rom 2:13-15)
That’s why before the cross they are under the rule of the law
(Gal 3:23-25) until “the seed” comes. (Gal 3:19; Gal 4:4) since “the
law made nothing perfect” (Heb 7:19) all persons who got saved
before the cross cannot go to heaven when they die, but instead to a
temporary place called Abraham’s bosom (Luke 16) until “… the
bringing in of a better hope…” (Heb 7:19), which is the perfect
salvation brought about by the gospel of Christ when the New
Testament put into effect (Heb 9:17) providing a clearing of sin and
guilt, (John 1:29; I Pet 2:24) justification, (Rom 5:9) and eternal
redemption (Heb 9:12, 15), and proclaiming liberty to them who are
called.

until they were led on high by the Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph 4:8-

Salvation
The great tribulation is Jacob’s trouble, (Matt 20; Jer 30:7) after
the church has been caught up, God deals with Israel as a nation
again. (Rev 7:14) Daniel’s seventieth week which is “the day of the
Lord” (I Thes 5:7) will come in.

Kingdom. People who were saved by not taking the mark of the anti
Christ will enter the kingdom (Matt 25) and keeps on multiplying.
Many exciting things are happening within this period and for
purposes of simplification will not be discussed in this material but
limit our discussion on the issue of salvation.
58
59 Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
Before the cross there are two places for people who died
Abraham’s bosom and hell. (Luke 16) But when Christ came and
brought perfect salvation, he emptied Abraham’s bosom. (Eph 4)

These will set a right traditional belief that Great White Throne
Judgment is exclusively for the unsaved dead only.
These are the final days wherein God will settle all things
according to his redemption plan, before we enter eternity, bear in
mind that we have not entered eternity yet!
The final destination of these two groups is now set. (Dan 12:1-

We can only make a guess as to how long this gap will be,
since a hint was given, “a thousand generations”, the question is
how many years a generation has? Some say it’s forty, pointing to
the forty years Israel’s wandering in the wilderness, some say it’s
one hundred, but some say thirty three looking up the Saviour’s life
here on earth, so if we will take thirty three years multiply it by one
thousand (33*1000 = 33,000) and you will have thirty three
thousand years of gap between millennium going up until eternity.

At the Great White Throne you will realize the power of angels.
Why?
In this present age, Christians who will live godly will suffer (II
Tim 3:12) “as a lamb ready for slaughter” (Rom 8:36) but in the
second coming they will be reigning as “armies” (Rev 19:14) and will
be bold as a ion since the Saviour will come as the King as he claim
rightful fully on “his day”. (Jer 46:10)

In their hands rests the power to cast any undesirable into the
lake of fire?
Any man who got saved in the church age were classified as
“sons of God” (John 1:12; Gal 4:5, 6; I John 3:1-2; etc)
Lack of study and unbelief will make a man correct John 1:12
as we can see how modern versions altered “sons of God” to
“children of God” not realizing the doctrinal implication of the verse.
The King James Bible is consistent in applying “sons of God” to all
saved persons in the church age. (John 1:12; Rom 8:14,19; Gal 4:5,
6, 7; Phil 2:15; I John 3:12; etc) and what’s the big deal?

But Nation Israel rejected the offer so the Kingdom and the
New Covenant were postponed for undetermined number of years in
this Church Age which served as a gap between 69th week and 70th
which of Daniel. After this gap the Lord will come again the second
time bringing with him the postponed kingdom and New Covenant.
(Hebrews 8:8-13).
