The King James Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, plenary, preserved word of God. Because the King James Bible is inspired by God then he has left many indelible proofs that God is the author. There are many number patterns and other things that prove the inspiration of the King James Bible. Another thing that proves the inspiration of the King James Bible is the built-in dictionary that God has placed in it. No other bible has this built-in dictionary since they are not inspired from God, but are rather the work of man. No other religious book or any book for that matter does as well. Today we are going to look at some examples of this built-in dictionary and show you how to use it and find it. My new book Meaning of King James Bible Words and Phrases gives examples of this built-in dictionary as well as examples of the proper grammar that is found only in the King James Bible.
God placed this built-in dictionary so that his words that are found in the King James Bible would be defined the way he defines them and not the way man does. Just as there is only one proper interpretation of scripture, there is only one proper meaning of a word as it is found in a particular verse. Note that a word can have multiple meanings, but not for that particular verse. The other reason that God provided this built-in dictionary in the King James Bible was because he knew many people around the world who were reading his word would not have access to a dictionary. God never required that a person had to carry around the Hebrew and Greek to understand his word and he does not expect people to have to have access to a dictionary either. God as the great provider, has already provided a dictionary with his word. God also knew that the meanings of words would change over time and so he wants people to be able to understand them with the same meaning as when he wrote them. The final reason for the built-in dictionary was to prove that the King James Bible is inspired and God is the author. No man could place a dictionary in a bible the way God has and still maintain the meaningful text as well as keeping the number and word patterns that are also found in the King James Bible.
It is this very built-in dictionary that is one of the reasons that the King James Bible is an easier reading level than modern corrupt counterfeit bibles. It is because of this built-in dictionary that many prisoners, children, and others who either did not know how to read or where not very good readers became good readers. The built-in dictionary defines words so that a poor reader can quickly become a good reader. They may not even be aware of this built-in dictionary, but their subconscious notices it and allows them to learn. This is one reason that school children read the King James Bible to learn how to read. The King James Bible also always uses proper grammar as we will look at later.
The built-in dictionary defines words with a synonym or other word that shows its meaning. The definition can often times be found in the same verse as the word being defined. Many times the two words are only separated by the word “and”. Here are a few examples. The word abhor has multiple meanings. One of the meanings is hate. Psalm 119:163 shows its meaning with the word hate that is only separated by the word “and”. (Psalm 119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.) Sometimes the definition is found in the same verse, but is separated by more than the word “and”. Amos 5:10 is an example. (Amos 5:10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.) Abhor can also mean to despise or neglect. Psalm 22:24 shows this meaning with the word despised. (Psalm 22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.) We see in this case how the word and its definition are only separated by the word “nor”. A third meaning for the word abhor is to cast off or reject. This definition can be found in Psalm 89:38 with the words cast off. (Psalm 89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.) We see in this case how the word and definition are once again only separated by the word “and”. Just as a secular dictionary gives multiple meanings to a word, so does God’s built-in dictionary as we saw with abhor having three different meanings and each of these defined by God.
Another example of a word that has multiple meanings with each defined by God is the word abominable. Abominable can mean unclean as seen in Leviticus 11:43 which shows unclean. (Leviticus 11:43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.) A second meaning of abominable is detestable as seen in Jeremiah 16:18. (Jeremiah 16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.) We see here again how only the word “and” separates the word and its definition. Two other definitions for this word that are defined by the King James bible can be found in my book.
Please note that not every time the word and is used shows a word and its definition, but many times it does and you must use the context as found in the verse to see whether it does or not.
Sometimes a word or phrase and its definition are only separated by a comma. One example can be seen in Leviticus 19:12. (Leviticus 19:12 ¶ And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.) Other times it is only a semicolon that separates the word or phrase and its meaning. One example is seen in Psalm 102:26. (Psalm 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:)
Sometimes the definition of a word is not found in the same verse, but one next to it. An example is the word anon as found in Mark 1:30. The definition for this word is found in Mark 1:31 as immediately. (Mark 1:30-31 30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.) If the definition is not found in the same verse or the verse before or after it, then it is oftentimes found at least in a verse in the same chapter. Here is one example as seen in John 4:37 for the word herein which means in this. Verse 20 shows “in this”. (John 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.) (John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.) If the definition is not found in the same chapter then it is often found in the chapter before or after or at least in the same book. One example is the word betwixt found in Isaiah 5:3. Betwixt means between. The definition for the word is given later in Isaiah 22:11 as between. (Isaiah 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.) (Isaiah 22:11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.) On some occasions when the definition is not found in any of these cases then God has placed it in another book. Sometimes the books may be next to each other or very far apart and sometimes one even has to go from the Old Testament to the New Testament for the definition. Normally a word will be defined somewhere in scripture. The reason that some definitions are found so far from the word being defined is not so that God can be mean. God does this so that people will learn to read and study his word. If God just gives the meaning all of the time without doing much reading then people will get lazy and stop reading the rest of the verses. God expects us to read, study, and search out his word and in order to do that he forces us to if we truly want to know all of the meanings to the different words. One example of a word and definition that are found in different books is the word wilily as seen in Joshua 9:4 which means deceitfully. This word is defined in Exodus 8:29 as deceitfully. (Joshua 9:4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;) (Exodus 8:29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.)
Many times the first time a word is used in the King James Bible then God will give the definition in a nearby location. One example is the word virgin which is found for the first time in scripture in Genesis 24:16. The word virgin has its definition of neither had any man know her given immediately after the word with the definition only separated by a comma. (Genesis 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.)
Sometimes the definition of a word is found within the word itself. The word vinegar contains the word vine. In scripture the word vine is always a reference to grapes showing that vinegar is made from grapes. Tetrarch was one of four rulers of a Roman province with each ruler controlling one quarter of it. Tetra means four and arch means ruler showing the meaning of the word. Sometimes the word contains most of, but not all of the definition within the word being defined. One example is the word brasen which means something made of brass. The word brass is nearly found within the word. Other times the definition of a word can be figured out by the word itself. One example is the word looking glass which is a mirror. Mirrors are made of glass and are used to look into and thus a looking glass. Menstealers is another example and shows its own definition of those who steal men such as kidnappers and slave traders. If the definition cannot be figured out that way, then sometimes just the context on how the word is used in scripture can give you its meaning. Another thing is how the word king is only capitalized for Jesus except in a few cases which are obvious. The fact that king is only capitalized for Jesus can soon be figured out by the studious Bible student as they read through scripture many times.
Sometimes a definition for a word can be found by looking at the letters around a word such as in Acts 19:13 which shows that devils are really evil spirits. Devils can be seen by taking the letter d from the word had and then adding that to the word evil and the adding the s from spirits. (Acts 19:13 ¶ Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.)
There are times that the definition can be known as God gives the opposite of the word. Usually it is obvious or at least one word is a known.
Sometimes a definition can be found by comparing the parallel or companion verse to that verse. This is known as the cross reference for that verse. The gospels contain many of the same stories with slightly different wording and here you can at times see this built-in dictionary. Here is an example. Matthew 3:8 has the word meet and the same verse in Luke 3:8 shows its definition with worthy. Notice how God also combines his number pattern as both verses are found in the same chapter and verse number. God is so amazing how he thinks of everything. (Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:) (Luke 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.)
The King James Bible uses the proper grammar and spelling for words. One example is how the King James Bible uses the proper spelling for a word when it is used as a noun and as a verb. The King James Bible uses plough when used as a noun and plow when used as a verb just like in proper British English. This distinction is lost in modern corrupt bibles. Just by seeing the spelling of the word a person can know if it is being used as a noun or a verb. A similar example is how the King James Bible uses the word hundred when it is used as a noun and hundredfold when used as an adjective. The King James Bible also uses proper spelling and verb endings to let you know if a word is singular or plural or whether it is being used in first, second, or third person. This can be very helpful in understanding the context of a verse.
I have only given a few examples of various ways that show you how to use the King James Bible’s built-in dictionary. There are other ways that God uses to define his words and some involve number patterns and so forth or reversing the spelling of a word. I am not going to get into those things here. Pray that the Holy Ghost will open your eyes to see his built-in dictionary. Some of these examples and others like them can be found in my book. I would appreciate your support with the purchase of my book and then please tell others about it.
Many Christians are not aware that God in his infinite wisdom has placed a built-in dictionary in the King James Bible. While many people may not realize it they use it anyway subconsciously as they will soon notice that it seems words define themselves or are found elsewhere. The next time you read your King James Bible, praise God for placing his built-in dictionary within it so that we can have a proper understanding of his word. Please share this knowledge with other people so that they too can grow in the Lord. We also want to use this to convert people from corrupt bibles to the King James Bible. The fact that the King James Bible has its own built-in dictionary also disproves the lie that the King James Bible is too hard to understand. The built-in dictionary proves just the opposite that the King James Bible is actually written at a lower grade level. Often times a harder word with more syllables will be defined by a simple word.
For those who are not saved, today is the day of salvation. Ask Jesus to save you and then get yourself a King James Bible and you too will quickly grow in the Lord as you learn how to use the built-in dictionary that God has given us. Thank you Lord for this built-in dictionary and showing that only you wrote the King James Bible.
