“Right Beneath Our Noses, All This Time”

By Walt English

You will find within the pages of this book the many so called greatly disagreed upon topics of the Holy Bible which continue to divide those of us of the Christian faith. This book will shed light on these disagreed topics using the exact words of the Old and New Testament from the King James Version. I use the King James Version because it has been the Gold Standard of all other versions of the Holy Scriptures. Practically all other re-translated versions of the Holy Scriptures have been copied from the King James Version. And because of these re-translated versions of the Holy Scriptures they are filled with the good intentions but misguided interpretations of Man. This book is presented in clearing up the many misguided interpretations of man which continue to divide us as Christians. In addition it will reveal new treasures that have always been found within the pages of scriptures but for whatever reasons man has yet to discover or understand.

“Right Beneath Our Noses, All This Time”

Right Beneath Our Noses, All This Time

1. In the Beginning 

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

In today’s World, for those of us that live by faith and believe in God the Father and live by the teachings of his son Jesus Christ, we have come under attack by immense seen and unseen forces that seek to destroy our faith. The one thing that these forces are to ignorant to comprehend is that no matter to what extent that they pursue to erase faith in God from the face of the earth, it will never happen.

There is one tangible opposing force that challenges faith and the existence of God and that is man himself and there is one intangible force that fuels the mind and actions of man to oppose God and Christ and that is Satan, who is referred to as the Devil. Throughout the existence of mankind, man under the spiritual influence and mind control of the Adversary has contrived countless ways to challenge the existence of God.

What is about to be presented is not contrived out of the mind of any man, but is presented in full view for every man, woman and child to be discover by themselves within the Holy Scriptures. And if you doubt what is presented here at any time, let yourselves ask of God directly, but not of anyone else for the answers.  Ask in prayer and in fasting of God directly. God tells us this in James 1: 5-6 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and unbraided not: and it shall be given. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Noticed that it doesn’t say, go ask this person or that person over there for your answers to your questions but we, you, yes you, you who are reading this right now can go and ask God for yourself in prayer for your answers. Here we are told by the Holy Scriptures that we, all of us have the power to ask and receive the answers to our own questions directly from God. How wonderful is that?!  You are your own direct link to God through prayer. James 1: 5-6 warns us that when we ask, do not ask in doubt. Do not doubt that prayer works. Do not doubt that God exists. Do not doubt that you will receive an answer to your prayer. Do not doubt because you have not kept the Lord’s commandments, God answers everyone if you pray with sincerity of heart and by faith.  Ask God in the name of Jesus Christ and fast for a full 24 hours period prior to asking God, having taken no food or water during this period.  God will answer you. Now you may not receive an answer immediately which generally is the norm of God.  Know that if you ask with the sincerity of your heart and with faith in God you shall receive an answer from God through the Holy Ghost in his due time, not yours. And if you should say or think later; Well I didn’t receive an answer, then ask yourself this, did you really ask without doubt that you would receive an answer, and did you ask seriously and solemnly with complete purpose of your heart?  If you did you will receive an answer.

Now of great importance for you to know I quote from the King James Bible.  The original Holy Books of the Bible were written by inspired men of God, i.e. Moses, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, whereas the original scriptures were later translated by Hebrew Scholars of the Old World. The original Holy Books of the Bible were originally translated from Greek to Hebrew by about 72 Hebrew Scholars around the start of the 3rd century ordered by the Egyptian ruler Ptolemy II Philadelphia (He was the son of Ptolemy I Soter and Berenice I of Egypt.), and many believed this translation was achieved under the providence of God. From these men’s efforts in translating the Septuagint Greek Old Testament appeared. The Septuagint is the first attempt to translate the Hebrew Bible.   Many later Old Testaments translated Bibles were copies of the Septuagint.  Over time, it was during the Renaissance that the popularity to study the ancient languages and the Holy Scriptures helped to inspire the many English Bible translations that would follow. William Tyndale, in 1525 published the first English language Bible from the Old Hebrew and Greek languages. (Ironically William Tyndale would be burned at the stake for doing so.) Then came about the King James Bible, where Hebrew scholars performed the translating of the ben Hayyim's edition of the Old Testament, the ben Asher Hebrew text and the Greek text of Erasmus a bilingual Greek-Latin text of the sixth Century. This translating was all accomplished under the rule of King James I of England. The final review and approval of the New King James Bible was accomplished by a panel of 12 religious scholars, all chosen by the King himself, before this Bible was set into its final original print in 1612. There were errors and omissions made in the first King James Bible, but we must remember it was translated by well-meaning Hebrew Scholars.

Since the original publication of the King James Bible many different versions over the centuries have been written by man. And with each new translations of the original King James Bible the meaning and content simply become wrong. An example of how this can happen is presented by the following example: When we were children, there was a game where a person would whisper a message into someone’s ear and then that person would whisper it into someone else’s ear of their group, trying to repeat the same exact message word for word of the original message giver. Well, this process would be repeated from person to person until the last person, within the group, was asked to say out loud what the message was. Invariably that last person who was to repeat the original message never repeated exactly what the first person had original whisper into the ear of the first person of the group. In fact, the message the last person gave out from the group, after it had been passed from person to person didn’t even come close to resembling the original message. And so, it is with man when he attempts to interpret the Holy Bible from its original interpretation. It is this same kind of misinterpreting that man has taken upon himself that has resulted in there being so many different interpretations of the Bible. This not only happens among same sect denominations but differing Christian faiths as well. Therefore, we have so many different denominational interpretations of the Holy Bible today. Is there any wonder why Bible bashing has become so prevalent in one religion being pitted against another religion in the Christian world? How many times have you heard, Well that’s not in my Bible or That’s not what I have been taught the meaning of that verse means. We all have a Bible, but most are incorrect interpretations because of man’s meddling with the original King James Version. This is exactly what Satan wants and likes, where God’s people have pitted themselves one against another by their own doing, all to the thanks of man’s gratuitous efforts in interpreting the King James Version of the Holy Bible and it is exactly what God doesn’t want.  Man, not God is the reason there is so much contention and strife today between those of different Christian denominations. I ask now, isn’t there only one God? So why are there so many different Bible translations? This isn’t God’s doing it is man’s doing.

It always amazes me, how these men who profess to be learned and wise took it upon themselves to wordsmith and re-interpret the Holy Bible, which was undertaken by these individuals in their own personal attempts to support their religion and religious beliefs. Especially when it is written in the New Testament in the Book of Revelations at 22: 18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words 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.  And yet many men have taken it upon themselves to add and subtract from the original writings of the Holy Bible. So, in checking the references herein please use the King James Translation, so we are all on the same sheet of music allowing us to compare apples to apples and not comparing oranges to apples.  This way we are all using the original version of the King James Translation that has come about through the very providence of God the Father.

I am now going to present many old and new things that seem to have been overlooked in between the pages of the Holy Bible but they have always been there for all of us to discover and ponder, this is the intent of this book.

First, every person who is born into this world has an awareness of a higher power than ourselves. We who are of the Christian faith recognize this higher power as God, the Father. This is just one of the many gifts that God has given every one of us, his children. In Romans: 1-19 it is said this way, Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them and here in Jeremiah 1:5, It states Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I foreordained thee a prophet unto the nations.  Although this verse is directed towards the prophet Jeremiah it applies to all of us. God knew all of us before the world was and we all knew of God in a prelife. 

2. The Pre-Life

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

The beginnings of our existence didn’t start with our growth within our earthly mother’s womb where many educated individuals believe it did and that our minds were a blank slate.  What? You mean to say I existed before I was born here on earth? Yes! 

In Genesis 1: 1 it states, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The first creation of God was heaven.  The second creation of God was earth.  It was here in heaven, which our first home was with God as spirits.  Before any of the physical living things were made on earth, all things were spirit first. All living things that were first placed on the face of the earth in living physical bodies be it fauna or flora, were first of spirit form only and as God placed fauna or flora on the earth each physical fauna or flora received a spirit of God into them, that is everything from the tiniest one cell organism to the complexity of a man. In Isaiah 42:5 it states Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:  Here God tells us he breathed the breath of life into the walking bodies of man, here we are taught that he breathed the breath of life into the walking bodies this breathed the breath of life is the action of God placing our spirits into our earthly bodies made by man and the walking bodies demonstrate that these bodies rose up with life and became living souls and moved about.  This combination of spirit and body becoming united into a living soul represents our human state today. Another perspective is these earthly bodies would have never walked if God had not placed his spirit child into them. Altogether this represents that we all existed with God in the heavens as spirits prior to obtaining our bodies, for a body is a body without a spirit and it is dead, but a body with a spirit is a living soul, and it is alive. 

Here in Jeremiah 1:5 it helps us to understand that God knew all of us as his spirit children prior to coming to earth to obtain a physical body in the pre-life.  It states, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I foreordained thee a prophet unto the nations.  Here we are told that God knew each and every one of us in our first estate in the pre-life long before we were formed in the womb of our earthly mother’s. He tells us that he blessed each one of us prior to coming to earth and foretold us of the wonderful things we were capable of achieving and accomplishing in our second estate as a living body within it was our Spirit, making us a Soul.

Yes, we all lived prior to this life on earth, in what is called the pre-life. Yes, I know many will say what is this? I have never heard of this, the pre-life?  Yes, there was a pre-life and all of you who have been born or will be born into this world we call earth lived in the pre-life.  In the pre-life we lived in what is known as our fist estate, the first estate is mentioned in Jude verse 6: And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation….  This was the war in the heavens where Satan and the spirit children of God that he claimed on his side not God’s and where these spirits of God decided to follow Satan’s plan. The other two thirds of the host of heaven made up the rest of God’s spirit children in heaven (they were the spirit child of God.) We not only kept our first estate, but you and I went on to receive our second estate by being born of earthly parents where our spirits were then placed into mortal bodies of flesh, formed by our earthly fathers and mothers    

The following Scriptures from the Holy Bible bear witness to the fact that the spirit was created by God before the physical body on earth and it had to exist somewhere prior to the creation of earth and that was in the pre-life with God.    First, it cannot be said any clearer than in Acts 17: 29 that we are the offspring of God; Acts 17: 29 says: Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God… In addition to being the offspring of God, it states in Numbers 16: 22, God of the spirits of all flesh… here again God simply makes it known that God is the father and creator of our spirits which are placed into bodies of flesh, our second estate.

As more proof in Psalm 82: 6 God tells us: Ye are gods: and all of you are children of the most High and in Deuteronomy 14: 1 God tells us: Ye are the children of the Lord your God: And when you couple these two verses of scripture with Job 32: 8, it states from God that there is a spirit in man…  All together we are being told by God that we are his spirit children.  In Job 32: 8 it states God places his spirit children in bodies made by our earthly parents: there is a spirit in man… And this all together proves that the spirit existed in a first estate with God prior to us being placed into mortal bodies made by our earthly parents, which became our second estate. 

In Job 38: 4 the Lord asks Job; Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? The Lord goes on to tell Job in Job 38: 21 Knownest thou it, because thou wasn’t then born?" Here God tells Job, man’s spirit was created before the world was and that it was created in the pre-life by him before the foundations of the earth were created by God.

Again, in Psalm 82: 6 it states Ye are gods: and all of you are children of the most high. Again, we are told we are all the children of God, again his spirit children. Proof of the pre-life can again be found in Jeremiah 1:5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I foreordained thee a prophet unto the nations.  This pre-life that Jeremiah is told about by God and again it didn’t just apply to Jeremiah, but it applies to every one of us that have or will live on this earth. We all lived in our first estate as spirit children of God in heaven, in a pre-life!

In Hosea 1: 10 it states Ye are the sons of the living God. Here we are told that God is the Father of all spirits.  Further reference to being the spirit children of God in the pre-life is found in Hebrews 12: 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of the flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live. We further read to support that we are the spirit children of God in a pre-life in Acts 17:26 it states "And hath made of one
