BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
1. Introduction
The physical writing of the Bible was done by some 40 people during a period
covering over 15 centuries. Many books in the Bible bear the names of prophets
and apostles, e.g. Ezra, Nehemiah, Zechariah, or Matthew, John, James. Some
books bear the name of the subject they are about or even the person or church
group to whom they were initially addressed, e.g. Timothy, Titus, Corinthians,
Hebrews etc. The name of an individual book, however, is not that important.
What is important is the real author, Yahweh and His message.
Remember these two facts when reading the Bible texts quoted at this site.
2. Bible Versions
The Authorized Version (A.V.) of the Bible, also known as the King James Version (KJV), was first published in 1611. The A.V. reigned supreme till 1885 when the Revised Version was published. Since 1885 there have been 100+ modern versions published in the English language alone: over 70 of these in the past 30 years! Modern versions of the Bible are very different from the Authorized Version and even from each other. What’s more they are dangerously corrupt!Jesus Is the Answer articles written before March 1997 often contained quotations from modern versions. But since that date all Bible quotations at this site have been - and will continue to be - from the Authorized King James Version alone.

why we have made this extraordinary decision.
3. Abbreviations/Book List
When Jesus Is the Answer/Sisu 'a e Tali Tonga quotes a Bible text, its address is often - not always - abbreviated: e.g. Exodus chapter 20 verses 8-11 could be written as Exo. 20: 8-11 or Ex. 20: 8-11. Matthew chapter 24 verse 6 could be written as Matt. 24: 6 or even Mt. 24: 6. The book of Mark could be abbreviated to Mk and the book of John to Jn. If you do not know the books of the Bible then the following list should be useful.| OLD TESTAMENT: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy Joshua Judges Ruth 1 Samuel 2 Samuel |
1 Kings 2 Kings 1 Chronicles 2 Chronicles Ezra Nehemiah Esther Job Psalms Proverbs |
Ecclesiastes Songs of Solomon Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations Ezekiel Daniel Hosea Joel Amos |
Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah Malachi |

Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 1 Timothy 2 Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews James |
1 Peter 2 Peter 1 John 2 John 3 John Jude Revelation | |
No book is more worthy of study than the Authorized Version of the Holy Bible. It is, without a doubt, the REAL WORD OF GOD! and is infinitely superior to every other book in the world: simply because it's author is the Creator of the mighty universe, Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel. We are privileged to recommend it to the Internet Community.

and they that hear the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things which are written therein:
