Page 65 - Yahwehs Book

When we properly identify what death Christ is speaking about in this passage, we are able to discern
that Yahshua is actually lamenting the fact that some of those to whom He was speaking would not
taste THIS DEATH until they saw His kingdom coming in power. Then it will be too late. Those
who heard the words of Christ, but failed to act upon them, will have forfeited their opportunity to
share an inheritance with Him as co-heirs and rulers in His kingdom. These ones will be similar to
the sleeping and foolish virgins who carried no oil for their lamps. When the Bridegroom appeared,
they had no oil for their lamps. They had to hastily seek to acquire some, but the Bridegroom had
entered His chamber and shut the door before they could return. There will be weeping, wailing, and
gnashing of teeth among many who refused to bear the cross.

There are numerous inexplicable divisions between chapters and verses. Acts chapter 7 tells the story
of the stoning of Stephen. The chapter ends at an odd point, for the first verse of chapter 8 clearly
belongs with the material in chapter 7.

Acts 8:1
And Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death.

Logically, chapter divisions should be placed where the subject of the writing changes. Yet this is
not the case. The only book of the Bible that has reasonable chapter divisions is the book of Psalms
where each Psalm occupies its own chapter.

Consider that in Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, he addresses approximately one dozen
different topics. These topics are of varying length. Some topics cover as much as four chapters. In
other chapters more than one topic is combined. Only chapters 5 and 15 of I Corinthians comprise
a single and complete subject of discussion.

The Bible does no better with verse divisions. Consider the following examples of parallel passages
which demonstrate how arbitrarily the division of verses were made.

II John 12-13
Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come
to you and speak face to face, that your joy may be made full. 13 The children of your chosen sister
greet you.

III John 13-14
I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink; 14 but
I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you.
Greet the friends by name.

Why is “The children of your chosen sister greet you,” a separate verse in II John, while “The friends
greet you. Greet the friends by name,” is joined with a clause from the preceding sentence in III
John? In many places in Scripture, there is little rhyme or reason to the placement of chapter and
verse divisions.

As helpful as the chapter and verse divisions are in the Bible, they must be recognized as an
