You MUST HAVE a KING JAMES BIBLE because it is the ONLY one to work with the incomparable STRONG'S CONCORDANCE. Choose your Bible with these considerations: Own a Bible with a durable cover and binding that will last for generations. IT must have stitched binding. It must be easily spread to every page and lie flat on the desk without closing itself. You DO NOT want your Bible to fall apart at the seams after you put insightful notes on all the pages. Leather could be the best material. Get a type size that is large enough to read without eye strain. Cross references are very helpful. Own a Bible that is printed on HEMP PAPER, which is superior because it lasts forever, does not turn yellow, does not crumble, does not weigh a lot and does not keep creases.
VERY IMPORTANT! The KJV reveals hidden meaning that is lost in EVERY OTHER translation of the Bible.
There is simply NO SUBSTITUTE for the incomparable Abingdon's Strong's Concordance. 11x9x2.75" thick. This is what the Dust Cover says:

• From an Opening Page: The Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible: showing every word of the text of common English Version of the Canonical Books, and every occurrence of each word in regular order; together with a Key-Word Comparison of selected words and phrases in the King James Version with Five leading Contemporary Translatons.

• My book is a thumb indexed Fortieth Printing 1981, ISBN 0-687-40030-9 ISBN 0-687-40031-7 (Thumb Indexed)
There are times you need to sit in your easy chair, read and meditate. Sometimes your computer is not the most effective- or comfortable- way to study. The Internet is often too restrictive. This particular book is excellent for comparing translations of verses side by side.
This Classic could be out of print, so GRAB a like-new copy.

When you read the Bible, you have to know where you are in the panoramic span of history and to know where you are on a map. For example, books by prophets are NOT IN chronological order in the Bible. This can cause great confusion for you. What is also confusing is for cities and locations to be mentioned in the Bible when you do not have a map to see where they were. You need a map in order to get a good grasp of situations like battles and travels by the prophets.
The Bible Timeline is in full color throughout, has put events and personages in order by date on a timeline. There are maps that show places and cities at particular times in history. What's more, events and personages in other cultures are part of this timeline. This helps you to understand what level Israelite Society was compared to other societies in the world- like the Persian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek and Chinese.

Get a REAL DICTIONARY! You need to know EVERYTHING about a word that there is to know. You want to know the language that the word came from and what the earliest meaning was. You are not interested in today's shallow meanings that are usually unsubstantiated and disconnected from the past.
Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, Unabridged Second edition. 11x8.5x5" You will need to put this huge book at a dedicated location- that is convenient. It should not be lifted and moved about because of its substantial size and weight.
You need to have a dedicated location for thick books because they could be damaged when moved.
You might want a small table especially for your Dictionary. You might want a portable and tilted stand that sits on a larger table.
Personally, I like to have my Dictionary on the table where I work so that I do not need to get up and walk to the Dictionary. When a researcher is taken away from his immediate place, his train of thought can be interrupted. Plus, he would need to carry papers and pens with him in order to take notes.
You need to decide which setup best suits you. My recommendation, based on my experience, is to have the Dictionary on the desk that I am working at.
The Book of Life by V. Gilbert. Manufactured about 1978. An encyclopedia set (of 24 books) of Biblical information. This is a fascinating set of books to read to the children. It has been an excellent research tool for me through the years. It is fully illustrated and filled with insightful information and details of daily life for people in Biblical times. This set is a chronological travel through the Bible.
• I have used Book 4 over and over in order to understand details of the construction of and materials used in the Tabernacle (Tent) of God. A miniature replica of the Tent and all the accessories and Priestly attire are shown in colored photos. These books have held up very well over decades of time.
• I cannot imagine how I would have gotten along without this encyclopedia set.
FUNK & WAGNALL or COLLIERS ENCYCLOPEDIA Sets. • Bible history, like the Book of Daniel, was written centuries and millennia before it happened. The Book of Daniel parallels accounts in Funk & Wagnalls and Colliers.
• God had the Bible written for the common man and standard encyclopedias complement this writing style. Expensive encyclopedias have not worked for me. American Encyclopedias are the ONLY ONES to complement Bible history.
• My other observation is that Bible prophecy was written from the viewpoint of 1991 AD. So, you need an encyclopedia set dated BEFORE but near 1991. My set dates to 1983-84.
A History of the True Religion by Dugger and Dodd • You need to be in sych with the history of the Church as written in Revelation 1-3. Knowledge of history, events and personages in Church history will provide your superstructure. This is the ONLY book in existence that can identify the eras of the Church down through history and identify personages mentioned in Revelation.
• Bible research requires a mental superstructure that you can use to arrange new information by. You need to orderly arrange your incoming mental data so that you can easily retrieve it during research projects. This is one of those wonderful books that provides such a superstructure. It is a MUST READ and an invaluable resource.
• This book is ideal for your easy chair so that you can meditate and flip back and forth as need be. However, you might want to do a speed-read in order to get the gist of Church History. Read free online copies that are provided by the Church of God Seventh Day AND the Jerusalem Church of God.
• JERUSALEM CHURCH OF GOD http://jcog7day.org/the-history-of-true-religion.html . • CHURCH OF GOD SEVENTH DAY http://www.cog7day.org/about/pdf/truereligion.pdf . Read on the internet.
Foxes's Book of Martyrs You need to have respect and reverence for the Word of God that was kept alive ONLY by oceans of blood of martyrs who willingly gave up their lives to preserve it and to publish it for your sake. Bibles were OUTLAWED and people were publically executed in horrific ways for the crime of quoting Scripture in public!
• This priceless book recounts the incredible sacrifices YOUR Christian ancestors made so that someday YOU could leisurely read the Bible and even quote Scripture in public.
• This book could the perfect beginning for each and every Bible student because it creates the humble and reverent attitude that God would respect and bless.
• The Beast of Revelation Is Coming To YOUR HOUSE to collect America's debt!
• The US Military cannot save you: it is gone!
• Unsealed Bible Prophecy Can SAVE YOUR FAMILY!
Our featured Book: The Beast of Revelation is a present world leader. If you agree with this man's social/political/religious views, you are going to Hell- no if's, and's or but's! Read a description RIGHT NOW at:
"THE DARK AGES" -Chris Cassel, the atheistic director of "The Dark Ages," spews all his hatred of Christianity through his farcical re-history of the Middle Ages.
"Historians" in this farcical documentary are atheist ideologs that are anything but objective. They pull out all the stops to rewrite history in order to degrade Christianity and Christians.
If you are an atheist that is desperate to legitimize his antichrist worldview, this might reinforce your delusion.
If, on the other hand, you love history and truth, you would be shocked at blatant lies and distortions throughout.
This is yet another documentary in a growing list of hate-monger propaganda from Hollywood atheists.
MISQUOTES
Misquotes are easy to make, and we are attempting to correct some that were attributed to us on the Internet.
• 2010 Was Not Predicted For Obama Accidental Death:
We could not find on our web site or in our records where it was predicted that Obama would die of an accident in the particular year of 2010. A fatal accident was predicted, but we have not yet found the year 2010 in that prediction.
• We would certainly appreciate a link to that prediction for the year 2010, if there is one on our web site.
• When we make updates, we try to remember to put them in [brackets], or make them apparent in some way. There could be human error.
• Even encyclopedia writers update their information every year, and newspaper writers correct previous articles.
Edward McKinney is NOT a professor: Instead, he is an independent researcher.
The only way McKinney has been able to make breakthroughs in Bible prophecy has been to dismiss beliefs of "experts" and professors, many of whom are closed minded and incorrect due to their atheism.
We believe that God no longer commissions prophets because there is no need for more prophets like Daniel and John. Our need is to understand what prophets ALREADY wrote in the Bible.
In our time, God gives some understanding of Bible prophets to various people, and in a sense Bible prophets vicariously speak through them. This is the case with God’s Two Witnesses of Revelation.
Churches may not dictate the persons to whom God unseals Bible prophecy. God unseals Bible prophecy for whomever He pleases, and nobody may tell God what He may or may not do.
We believe that God gave to Edward McKinney and various other people in our time some understanding of some things that prophets of the Bible wrote. In this sense, prophets sometimes speak through them, just as they speak through you when you understand Bible prophecy.
We feature people who are trying to develop their Gift of Prophecy, but they are strictly amateurs, and they are not officially commissioned prophets to whom God and Angels directly speak in the way that they once spoke to officially commissioned prophets like Daniel and John.
Ephesians 2:2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil--the commander of power on the air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
