Revelation 1:5b has a significant change in Panin’s Numeric New

us from our sins in his :blood;” The Textus Receptus (Stephanus)
and other Greek texts add one letter to this word. Instead of
“LOUsan-ti,” it reads “LUsan-ti,” one letter less.</font></font></p>

of our Theology and our hymns are based on this variation. “But is
it that important a variation,” you might ask? Well, let’s look
at it from the first Torah reading following “Simcha Torah,” the
“Joy of Torah,” which took place last Thursday, October 4, or
Tishri 22, the last day and great celebration of the 3 Fall Feasts of
the Bible (Blowing of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Feast of
Tabernacles). Genesis 1:1-6:8 was the first Torah reading of the New

consider Cain and Abel in Genesis 4. Abel obeyed God’s desire and

transgressed God’s first command and ate the forbidden fruit from
the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil. His sin gave entrance to
the spirit of Satan to enter the human race. This immediately brought
death to the spirit of all mankind, and subsequently death to the
body too. Mankind immediately moved into a fleshly rather than a
spiritual mode, and became self-pleasers rather than </font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>God</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><span style="text-decoration:none">-</span></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">pleasers.

it is! The Father and the Son are agreed in pre-incarnate times! Old

the foundation of the world. And what Jesus our Messiah, the Son of
God did, was to </font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>loose</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">

the Sermon on the Mount – and </font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>all</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">

And think </font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u>not</u></font><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">
that Jesus’ commandments are but the “red” words of Jesus in
the Gospels! For Paul by the Spirit said in 1 Corinthians 14:37 –
“If any think himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him take
