Why the significant difference from the KJV? What happened to the words "''of them which are saved''" which followed the word "''nations''"?? | Why the significant difference from the KJV? What happened to the words "''of them which are saved''" which followed the word "''nations''"?? | ||
As outlined in our article on [[The King James Version of the Bible|the King James Version of the Bible]], the KJV is based on seven very late manuscripts (none earlier than the eleventh century). The words ""''of them which are saved''" which appear in the KJV, do not appear in any early Greek manuscripts in either the Byzantine or Alexandrian manuscript families. | |||
We can, therefore, conclude that the phrase "the nations of them which are saved" was not in the original autograph manuscript of Revelation and should simply be replaced with the phrase "the nations." | |||
