Geneva Men
Posted in Watches on 06/12/2010 08:25 am by adminHave you read any of the *Geneva Bible* used by the Pilgrims?
1620 the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth with their Bibles and a conviction derived from those Bibles of establishing a new nation. The Bible was not the King James Version.
The king of England, the Geneva Bible was outspokenly anti-Roman Catholic, Rome was still persecuting Protestants in the sixteenth century. Keep in mind that the English translators were exiles from a nation that was returning to the Catholic faith under a queen who was burning Protestants at the stake. The anti-Roman Catholic sentiment is most evident in the Book of Revelation: "The beast that cometh out of the bottomless pit (Rev. 11:7) is the Pope, which hath his power out of hell and cometh thence." In the end, the Geneva Bible was replaced by the King James Version, but not before it helped to settle America.
Calvin's view that God reigns everywhere and over all things led him to develop the biblical idea that man can serve God in every area of life - church, civil government, education, art, music
Your quote is erroneous:
Revelation 11:7 "And when they haue finished their testimonie, the beast that commeth out of the bottomlesse pit, shall make warre against them, and shall ouercome them, and kill them."
Geneva Bible 1599
Yes, as someone mentioned, it has extensive notes, but the notes make no such statement either:
Geneva Bible Notes, Revelation of John 11:7:
"{10} And when they shall have {c} finished their testimony, {11} the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall {12} overcome them, and kill them.
(10) That is, when they have spent those 1260 years mentioned in Re 11:2,3 in publishing their testimony according to their office. (c) When they have done their message. (11) Of which after Chapter 13, that beast is the Roman Empire, made long ago of civil, ecclesiastical: the chief head of which was then Boniface the eighth, as I said before: who lifted up himself in so great arrogancy, (says the author of "Falsciculus temporum") that he called himself, Lord of the whole world, as well in temporal causes, as in spiritual: There is a document of that matter, written by the same Boniface most arrogantly, shall I say, or most wickedly, "Ca. unam sanctam, extra de majoritate."
This is too easily verified to make erroneous claims... The Geneva Bible can be downloaded from http://www.crosswire.org (It is a module for the "Sword Project.")
"...serve God in every area of life..." Sounds kinda familiar: Romans 12:1 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
... The Geneva Bible is blatantly anti-catholic, but it holds a very important place in the history of English Bibles and vernacular scriptures in general. The text itself is generally a good rendering for the state of manuscript evidence available and the knowledge of the languages at the time.
