Dear Blessed Brother-in-Yeshua,
You are correct that the passage needs to be read in context.
Understand that the translators of the King James Bible had strong political influences on them.
The following is a quote from the "Preface" of the Authorized Version (authorized by King James):
GREAT and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which Almighty God, the Father of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of England, when first he sent Your Majesty's Royal Person to rule and reign over us.
That is why Yaacov (Jacob), the 1/2 brother of Yeshua (Jesus) is called JAMES in the King James Version of the Bible - to flatter the king.
King James favored the hierarchical structure of the Church of England and wanted the new translation to keep words that supported a bishop-led hierarchy. In keeping with James’ preferred views on church government and church tradition.
Very interesting, I'll have to read up on this and pray to God on this issue. Thanks for letting me know of this perspective. I never heard of this before. God indeed shall reveal all to us. Too much confusion and misdirection in this world. Let us lean on Him in our times of unknowing. God bless you brother
“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
Amen Selah Hallelujah Alleluia God bless
