judgment but is patient and is forgiving for a full term of 490 years. “Lord,
how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven
times, but seventy times seven.” Mt.18:21 So, be like God in being patient for the full 490 times.)
Seventeen:

Genesis 8:3: “The water
receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the

The Passover lamb was slain
on the 14th of this month. Jesus came out of the grave three days
later on the 17th day of the first month.

The Greatest of all English Literature:
Shakespeare and The
King James Version
In the 1800’s there developed steady proof that
Shakespeare did not write his plays and some one else had. The leading
candidate for who wrote them was Sir Francis Bacon.
The greatest of all English translations of the Bible
was the Authorized Version, also known as the King James Version. History
records that it was composed by the finest scholars in
