Ok Crazyguy, never mind the facts. Indeed!
You've got something there! I find the JWs trying to convince people that for a temporary time period Jehovah allows Jesus to reign making Jah reign past tense. We were brought up with that doctrine.
I think you noticed something!
So from a JW perspective it would be past tense"reigned"! But not in mainstream bibles!
It would not make any sense that Jehovah's reigned was on a temporarily hold!
Therefore, the WT are preaching once again false doctrine of not only 1914 date of Jesus reign,but also that Jehovah stops his reign during this time frame! My head hurts to think about it!
OR, they just manipulated the entire verse!
Good job bringing this out for others JWs to read!
NWT
They said: Praise Jah, you people, because Jehovah our god, the almighty has begun to rule as king ." Then my first thought, what does it acctually say in their greek interlinear because at Rev.
Their Interlinear in greek:
stated at Rev. 19:6 "And I heard as voice of crowd much and as voice of waters many and as voice of thunders strong of ones saying, Hallelujah because reigned Lord the God of us the almighty.
Other bibles on Gateway:
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Halleluyah!
Adonai, God of heaven’s armies, [a]
has begun his reign!
Or maybe they are covering other doctrines up that they do not want JWs to believe! :-)
Maybe that verse is not expressing JAH Almighty,But God Jesus! "God of heavens army" Just a thought!
No wonder I have problem when people in churches sing this song "Halleluyah" then they sing about Jesus! Nice song!
Also
Yes they've manipulated their Interliner! Just find an older version and compare it to the newer one.
My friend had a newer Diaglott and I had an older one. So,when we got together and talked about the Diaglott we did not know what the other was referring. It was show me that one.
Sure enough we compared them and they were different. Anyhow,I started with God and highlighted each one then cross it to English! Lol what was I thinking! But there were some mistakes!
Good job!
