One of my favorite books in the Bible is the Book of Revelation. The words in this prophecy are true and faithful. Now, what really upsets me is when a person changes the wording and into a corrupt translation. We see this in the Joseph Smith Translation (JST). Every time the word, “angel” is brought up in Revelation, chapter 2, and many other places in Revelation, it is replaced with the word, “servant”. And if you have never heard of this corrupt book, the first prophet in Mormonism wrote it after reading the King James Bible (KJV). Joseph Smith believed that many of the verses were wrong, so he slowly started writing down his own interpretation. This happened until he actually compiled his own corrupted Bible, which is based on the KJV. I am speaking the truth. This is not a study Bible with references to the original, but a corrected Bible of his own. See for yourself when it comes to Revelation, chapter 2, verse 18. It reads…
Revelation 2:18 (KJV)
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
Revelation 2:18 (Joseph Smith Translation)
18 And unto the servant of the church in Thyatira write: “These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass.”
There is a warning from God, not from me, for anyone who would go so far as to tamper with the contents of the book of Revelation. And as we see above and other places in the JST, this warning did not only apply to Joseph Smith, but in his death, it was made clear that he was a false prophet. This man woke up in hell and just imagine how he is feeling now. Currently, he is waiting out his sentence until the Great White Throne Judgment Seat. This is where he will find out that his name is not found in the Lamb’s Book of life. And as the Bible says, these wicked people will have their part in the lake of fire, which is the second death. My friends, hell is real, and made up of fire and brimstone. There are many people gnashing their teeth at God right now. Every day a new person dies and goes there. This is sad, and it is up to us to warn people of the wrath to come, lest they end up here also. Lastly, let the Bible speak below…
“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 the book 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.” (Revelation 22:18-19)
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:12-15)
I also become upset when reading all the changes JS made to God’s word.
