year fulfillment of the dream of Ivan Panin for this Interlinear NT
combining his 2 NT works. He died in December 1942 in Aldershot,
Ontario at the age of 87. Shortly before his death - God called me
into the Navy where He chose to reveal Himself to me. In July 1944 a
Russian Jew put in my hands the information on some 20 books and
pamphlets “on” or “by” Panin. In 1946 I discover</span></span><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">ed</span></span><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">
the joy of outlining the book of Ephesians based on Panin’s
discoveries. That year I accepted the assignment to put together in
Outlined Interlinear format the entire NT. Now in July 2012, 70 years
later - in God’s timing for His purposes - it is about to move into
your hands. May it be as great a blessing to you as it has been to me
