God says in Revelation 1:11, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia . . .”
The text of the title page of the King James Bible reads:THE HOLY BIBLE,
Conteyning the Old Teſtament,AND THE NEW:
Newly Tranſlated out of the Originall tongues: & with the former Tranſlations diligently compared and reuiſed, by his Maiesties speciall Comandement.
Appointed to be read in Churches.
Imprinted at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the Kings moſt Excellent Maiestie.
ANNO DOM. 1611 .
At bottom is "C. Boel ſecit in Richmont."
The original tongues is referring to Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. The translators compiled one book based on the 96 percent majority of the textual evidence in existence. The purity of the book meant everything.

The Antichrist will be an Assyrian Jew who will reign with ten kings that make up his kingdom. You say, “But, then what does Revelation 13:8 mean when it says, ‘And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.’ ”
It means the same thing as in Luke 2 when it says, “And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.”
Jordan reasons, “You think people in Brazil in that day went to be taxed by Rome? No, it’s all the world that he had RULERSHIP over. The Bible uses terminology exactly the way you do. It’s talking about all the kings of the earth who will bow to his persuasiveness. They’ll come and join willingly, not because he holds a dictatorial hand over them and says, ‘If you don’t take my mark and do what I say I won’t let you eat.’ They’ll come because they drank of the wine of fornication of his apostasy. He’s made the kings of the earth drunk with this wine and they come deluded into doing it; not because they’re forced but because they’re deceived!
“The Antichrist is going to be a counterfeit religious ruler who works miracles in the earth. Through the religious persuasion of the ‘false prophet’ he gathers authority. So there is a religious element to it and it’s called ‘mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlots.’
“There’s a harlot religious system out there. That means there is today a whorehouse religion out in the religious system of the world that will ultimately culminate with the religion of the Antichrist and through it he’ll be proclaimed as Israel’s Messiah--as the Second Coming of Jesus for the Christians, and as the Twelfth Imam for Muslims--and he’ll be hailed the conquering hero and sit upon that throne in Jerusalem and declare himself to be God. Such will be the persuasive power of the lie program in that day and it will all focus and center in that piece of real estate where civilization began.”

Paul writes in Romans 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Jordan explains, “You’re not commanded. When you lead somebody you say, ‘C’mon, go with me.’ It’s a faith response.”
