  For everything there is a time, and a right time for every matter under heaven: a right time to give birth, and a right time to die; a right time to plant, and a right time to pluck up what is planted; a right time to kill, and a right time to heal; a right time to tear down, and a right time to build; a right time to weep, and a right time to laugh; a right time to mourn, and a right time to dance; a right time to throw stones, and a right time to gather stones; a right time to embrace, and a right time to be far from embracing; a right time to seek, and a right time to lose; a right time to keep, and a right time to throw away; a right time to tear, and a right time to sew; a right time to keep silence, and a right time to speak; a right time to love, and a right time to hate; a right time for war… Show Notes See Also Further Reading Parental Warnings None.

• Translating Scripture from Greek

  In this final episode of the Septuagint (LXX) series, we discuss what needs to be done to produce a proper translation of the LXX in English. This a technical episode, but a vital one. There should exist in every language spoken by a Christian nation a definitive version of the Scriptures in that language, and in this episode we provide the structure and the mechanics by which that can be achieved. This will be a years-long project, and it will have to be undertaken by other men. Until then, we have provided links to a number of existing English translations in the show notes, infra. Any existing version of the LXX in English is certainly better than all of the extant copies based on the rabbinic text.

• The Septuagint — New Testament, Part 2

  This episode is our closing argument for the Septuagint (LXX) and its proper place as the Word of God — the Scripture of the Early Church, the Apostles, and Christ Himself. Once you have finished this episode, you will need to decide for yourself if you believe the argument as presented or if you intend to double down on the ‘Hebrew’ the rabbis smuggled into the churches. The question is one of fidelity to God and to His Word, and it is a question that will split the churches, that will sift the wheat from the chaff. “But I and my household will serve the Lord, because He is holy.” Show Notes Romans 2:24 → Isaiah 52:5 Romans 3:4 → Psalm 51:4 (LXX Psalm 50:6) Romans 9:25b → Hosea 2:23 Romans 9:27 → Isaiah 10:22 Romans 9:27-28 → Isaiah 10:22-23 Romans 9:29 → Isaiah 1:9 Romans 9:33; 10:11 → Isaiah 28:16 Romans 10:18 → Psalm 19:4 (LXX Ps 18:5. .

• The Septuagint — New Testament, Part 1

  In this episode and the next, we cover the places where the New Testament cites the Old Testament and there is a difference between the Septuagint (LXX) and the rabbinic text. In this first (of two) episodes, we cover citations from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts; in the next episode, we will cover Romans through Revelation. By the sheer weight of the evidence, it will become undeniable that the New Testament authors were reading and citing the Septuagint — not some supposed ‘Hebrew’ edition (that, in fact, no longer existed at the time of the composition of the New Testament). The Septuagint was the Bible of the Apostles; it was the Bible of the early Church; it was the Bible that God miraculously preserved — as He promised He would; and it should be our Bible today.

• The Septuagint — Timelines and Other Alterations

  The rabbis made a number of different kinds of edits to their version of what some call ‘Scripture’ (i.e., the Rabbinic or Masoretic Text). In some places, they fiddled with numbers, in some they changed names, and in still others they deleted entire sections of the text. In this final episode of the Old Testament portion of the Septuagint series, we examine the changes the rabbis made to the timelines (particularly the genealogies), the Book of Job, the Book of Esther, and a few other miscellaneous matters. The next two episodes will round out the LXX series with an examination of how the New Testament uses the Old (to the surprise of none, Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint), and then the final episode in the series will give a roadmap for where we, as the Church, go from here.
