severe than those of migraines. Our General Practioner through

minutes. She had the same problem some 20 years ago, and 8
specialists - before the days of computer technology, were unable to
make this diagnosis! This was comfirmed the next day by the Tacoma

(chapter equivalents) were established by Bible Numerics. I am an

succeeding order. He could by this formatting, read his speeches with
tremendous clarity and expression. Peter Marshall wrote his sermons

similar emphasis. The Interlinear Greek NT before you has been

him concerning the distinction between the acute and grave accents in
Greek, he felt the significance for pronunciation purposes had
largely been lost over the couurse of time. With this observation, I
have taken these two, plus circumflex accents, and simply capitalized
all 3 of them. Scholars can work backwards from the transliteration
to the original text. I have also omitted the “dative subscripts”

adage, a little Greek is a dangerous thing. I was so upset with his
production, that for two years I could not even look at it. I did not
then have the faith that I could do a work fulfilling the vision that
Panin had for an Interlinear Greek NT. Jehovah's Witnesses offered to
do it for him, but because he deemed them a “cult”, he had to
refuse their offer. But I felt such a desire to please God and
justify Panin, that God used my former associate to so <u>motivate</u>

<b>To God - who led me to transliterate the Greek text, to make it
less formidable to laymen. The formatting by clause and sentence is
also of Him, chiefly through Winston Churchill. When He spoke to a
combined US Congress following our declaration of war in December
1941, a page of his speech fell to the floor. It was found by a cub
reporter, and reprinted on the front page of many daily US
newspapers. I was fascinated by the ease to deliver a speech from
these notes. I felt a similar format would help Laymen more simply to
grasp the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit in NT Scripture. Hence this
format. Also, in 1967 I received a word from the Lord - “Get <u>My</u>
New Testament Done!” This is <u>not</u> my NT! It is <u>not</u>
even Ivan Panin's. He merely discovered God's Bible Numerics in both
the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible, which he used in the NT to
produce a text without alternate readings, and the possibility of
outlining the entire NT according to God's sentence, subdivision,
paragraph and section structure. I put my work in this outlining as
more important than the transliteration, though both are a challenge.
For those then who prefer studying from a printed page, rather than
from a computer screen - <u>this</u> is what God also desired. </b>
