THE KINGDOM INTERLINEAR TRANSLATION (1969 EDITION)

DECLARES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS JEHOVAH GOD

The foreward of this Bible says on page 17:

The evidence is, therefore, that the original text of the Christian

Greek Scriptures has been tampered with, the same as the text of the

LXX has been. And, at least from the third century A.D. onward, the

divine name in Tetragrammaton form has been eliminated from the text

by copyist who did not understand or appreciate the divine name or who

developed an aversion to it, possibly under the influence of Anti-

Semitism. In place of it they substituted the word KYRIOS (USUALLY

TRANSLATED "THE LORD") and THEOS, MEANING "GOD" (emphasis ours).

In the next paragraph it states:

Every Greek reader must confess that in the LXX, the Greek words

KYRIOS and THEOS have been used to crowd out the distinctive names

of the Supreme Diety. EVERY COMPREHENSIVE GREEK ENGLISH-DICTIONARY

states that these two Greek words have been used as EQUIVALENTS OF

THE DIVINE NAME. Hence the modern translator is warranted in using

the divine name as an equivalent of those two words... (emphasis ours).

At the bottom of page 18, a footnote quotes A GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON

of the New Testament by J.H. Thayer, where on page 65, Thayer says

of Kurios that the title is given to God; and on page 287 Thayer says

Theos is equivalent to Jehovah. Other footnotes on the same page show

"Kurios = Hebrew Yahweh," "Kurios, the Lord = Hebrew Jehovah, LXX,"

and "Kurios... most usually corresponds to ... Jehovah, and in this

sense is applied." An example of this is Revelation 1:8, page 1075

of the K.I.T.

Now looking at Philippians 2:10-11 (page 885 of the K.I.T.), the

English translation under the greek text reads: "in order that

in the name of Jesus every knee should bend... and every tongue

confess out that LORD JESUS CHRIST into the glory of God the Father

(emphasis ours). The Greek word for Lord is KURIOS. The footnotes

on page 18 make it clear that the verse can properly be rendered:

"that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend... and every

tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Jehovah God to the glory of

God the Father."

It is also interesting to note that Jehovah says in Isaiah 45:23,

"... that to me every knee should bend down, every tongue will

swear..." Obviously, St. Paul has chosen to give honor to Jesus

in Philippians 2:10-11.

Page 1032 makes it plain that Jesus Christ is Jehovah. 1 Peter 3:15

says: "But sanctify the Christ as Lord in your hearts..." (right

column). The footnote for verse 15 says: "Sanctify the Christ as

LORD... sanctify the Messiah our Lord... sanctify the Lord God,

Textus Receptus; SANCTIFY JEHOVAH GOD" (emphasis ours). Therefore,

the Christ is to be sanctified as Jehovah God.

The K.I.T. rules also show that in John 1:1 the Greek "theos on ho

logos" must be rendered "... and the Word was God," because page 17

of the foreward says THEOS MEANS GOD. In fact, John 1:1 in the

Watchtower rendering says "a god", but on the same page in the left

column, in the English under the Greek rendering, plainly says "the

Word was with God." Also Dueteronomy 32:39 shows that "a god" (cf.

John 1:1) could not have been with God: "See now that I, even I AM

he, and there is no god with me" (K.J.V.). The word for "god" there

is elohim in the Hebrew, meaning any kind of god or angels or demons,

etc.

The Kingdom Bible demonstrates Jesus is the "I AM" of Exodus 3:14.

On page 467 of the K.I.T., the Greek text reads: "prin Abraham

genesthai ego eimi (Before Abraham to become I am). If Jesus had

said, "Before Abraham came into existence I have been," the Greek

would have to say, "prin Abraham genesthai ego en" (all recognized

Greek scholars agree with this). Exodus 3:14 reads, "Ego eimi ho ohn,"

(based on the Septuagint) meaning "I AM THAT I AM," according to the

King James Bible. It can be shown here that Jehovah God actually

calls himself both ego eimi and ho ohn, although the footnote on page

467 fails to mention this. However, the Kingdom Interlinear clearly

renders ego eimi as I AM in John 8:24, 13:19, and 18:15, thus

faithfully demonstrating Jesus' use of Jehovah's name.

The K.I.T. shows that Jesus is called THE LORD (ho Kurios) and THE

GOD (ho Theos) at John 20:28 from the Greek text. Pages 1158 and

1159 place great emphasis on the article ho before the noun theos

to distinguish the true God, therefore John 20:28 meets K.I.T.

requirements in proclaiming Jesus as Jehovah God.

The Kingdom Bible also declares the way to salvation: Acts 16:31,

"... Believe upon the LORD JESUS, and you will be saved, you and

the household of you" (page 621, emphasis ours). See also Romans

10:9, 13, 8:39; 1 Corinthians 15:31, 47; Acts 10:36; John 3:36,

14:6.
