Chapter Ten
“You shall know them by their fruits”
Part Two
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” The evil fruits of the king called Constantine were overcome by the
good fruits of a king named James. Clearly the fulfillment of Revelation 2:12-14 occurred with Constantine and the
introduction of the "doctrine of Balaam" by the Edict of Toleration in 313 A.D. In Genesis 41:32, Joseph spoke unto
Pharaoh that his dream was doubled twice unto him “because the thing is established by God,” where we also know
that every word is established by two or three witnesses. So too then does the Lord double twice unto John the revelation
of two kings that will establish the course of their respective church ages. The first was Constantine at the church of
Pergamos and the ungodly union between the pagan church and those that held the doctrine of Balaam. The second is King
James who established the course of the church of Philadelphia as we read in Revelation 3:7-10:
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he
that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth and no man openeth;
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little
strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I
will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall
come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
Here the Lord states that He knows their works: they kept His Word and they did not deny His name. What does it mean
to keep His Word? First, it means to observe, practice and adhere to His Word. Certainly, the godly men of the
seventeenth century placed their trust in the Lord with a zeal that lead them to worship Him from morning to evening every
Sunday. The Bible formed the basis of English law in the Common law during this time and immorality was not tolerated.
Second, the word “keep” has several other meanings that apply to those that preserved the Word of God in the King
James Bible:
Keep:
-To preserve or maintain.
-To guard, defend.
-To have the care of.
-To continue to hold.
-To cause to remain.
-To tend.
-To have custody.
-To Copy Carefully
This was the work accomplished by King James himself when he defended, cared for, preserved, tended, kept custody,
and maintained God’s Holy Word by his “special command.” But the most important work accomplished in this
translation stems from a retrospective look at the weightiest meaning of the word to keep: to copy carefully. King James
supported “one more exact Translation of the Holy scriptures into the English; . . .” that is now also known by the
eponym “The Authorized Version.” We read on the title page: THE HOLY BIBLE CONTAINING THE OLD
AND THE NEW TESTAMENTS TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES AND WITH THE
FORMER TRANSLATION DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED BY HIS MAJESTY’S SPECIAL
COMMAND. The word diligently means “with steady application and care.” This is the work that these men
accomplished in the diligent, careful translation of the Holy Bible, exactly interpreting from the original languages into the
“English Tongue.” They carefully observed the conformity of the truth from the original languages and carefully copied
and preserved the Word of God not only for England, but as history reveals, for the whole world.
Truly the Lord did not reveal any new “doubly inspired” Scriptures to these men, yet can any man deny that the Holy
Ghost moved also upon these men to accomplish this great work at the appointed time during the age of the church of
Philadelphia. These men were moved through the grace of our Lord Jesus to defend, care for, preserve, tend,
keep custody and carefully copy the heavenly sent Scriptures at a time when popish people sought to destroy
His eternal Word. In our present age, those that hold His truth most often recognize the work accomplished by the
translators themselves but often fail to recognize the earthly driving force behind these men, King James. However, the
testimony of the translators in the preface to the 1611 authorized text makes certain whom they gave this credit
to:
“And now at last, by the mercy of God, and the continuance of our labours, it being brought unto such a
conclusion, as that we have great hopes that the Church of England shall reap good fruit thereby; we hold it our
duty to offer it to Your Majesty, not only as to our King and Sovereign, but as the principle Mover and Author
of the work: . . .”
Because of the works that the people of the church of Philadelphia did, the Lord promised that he would make them of the
synagogue of Satan come and worship before “thy feet.” To identify who the synagogue of Satan is, we must return to
the book of Revelation in chapter twelve where John describes the wonder of the woman clothed with the sun, the moon
under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. As in our previous discussion on the dragon, the woman
represents the people of Israel as the nation that brought forth Jesus and by the witness of Joseph’s second dream to his
brethren (Gen. 37:9-11). Yet the Roman Catholic Church makes claim that the woman of Revelation chapter twelve
symbolizes their church. 16 Thus they say they are “Jews,” and are not, but do lie. Further, we must look again at the
prophecy that He would make them of the synagogue of Satan come and worship before “thy” feet.

In history, we can also see this fulfillment at only one time and by only one person in the history of the true church. It was
only after King James himself commissioned the new English translation at the Council of Hampton thereby "keeping" God's
Word and then the fallout over the Gunpowder Plot that Catholics were commanded to take an oath of allegiance to King
James and denounce the Pope. Only here in history did Roman Catholics voluntarily come and worship before the feet of
the king named James, who was the head of the Anglican Church and who had also at his commandment carefully copied
and published the Word of God in the common tongue of his subjects. We read further of the lasting effects of the failed
Catholic Gunpowder plot in “The Stuart Century” by S. Reed Brett:
“But the real effect of the plot was to be seen not so much in Parliamentary statutes as in the reaction of the
mass of the people. A howl of execration against Roman Catholics went up on every side. The common folk did
not stay to draw nice distinctions between different kinds of degrees of Catholics. In the eyes of the nation all
Catholics were alike traitors. The Marian persecution had already made Roman Catholicism odious and
precluded its return as the State religion. These effects were confirmed and intensified by the Gunpowder Plot.”
17
Therefore, coupled with the spread of English power and might, through the power of the Word of God
preserved in the King James Bible, our Lord fought against those of the church of Pergamos exactly as He
promised in Rev.2:16:
“Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.”
This our Lord did by the fruit of a king named James. It was here that papal authority began a worldwide decline by the
power of God’s Word as promised. It was at his feet as the head of the Church of England that the Roman
Catholics of the synagogue of Satan did, by oath of supremacy, worship at his feet as prophesied in the Book of
Revelation. The King James Bible testifies of his good fruit. This is the first witness by Jesus Himself of the King James
Bible foretold in the Revelation. The second witness is by John in Rev. 13:1&3:
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.”
“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast.”
Herein is a prophecy that has a double fulfillment in the “person” who will suffer a deadly wound and be healed by the
false prophet (Zech. 11:17, Rev. 13:14) and as the “people” of the beast with seven heads. We have already reviewed
in depth that the seven heads are seven kings, five are fallen, one is, and one is not yet come. (Rev. 17:10).
There are five that are fallen and cannot be one of the heads that is wounded. This eliminates Babel, Egypt, Babylon,
Media-Persia and Greece as the “people” that will suffer a deadly wound. Only the one that “is” (Rome) and the one
that is “not yet come” can fulfill this prophecy.
If we look at the one “not yet come,” we find that the Lord Himself will fight against the ten kings that have power with
the beast for one hour. And indeed they will be overcome by the sword which is the Word of God. (Rev. 17:12-14, Rev.
19:15-21). Yet the second part of the prophecy in Revelation 13:4 cannot be fulfilled by the ten kings in that
they will not be revived by the false prophet after the great and terrible Day of the Lord in which they shall all
perish. Therefore by this reason alone, we know that the head that is wounded cannot be the seventh head, the ten kings.
Therefore, by process of elimination, the head that is wounded can only be Rome, which is the sixth kingdom of the “beast
with seven heads.” The next question then arises: When will Jesus fight against this “beast” with the sword of his
mouth, which is the Word of God? Interestingly, those which are of the church of Pergamos, where Satan’s seat is, shall
be destroyed by fire by the ten kings before their own destruction by the Lord Himself. Therefore, the “woman,” which is
that great city that reigns over the kings of the earth, will not be present on the great and terrible Day of the Lord when he
fights against all the armies of the earth at the battle of Armageddon. Thus by reason of logic, the Lord must fight
against the “woman,” where Satan’s seat is, during the time of the seven church ages and before the
Tribulation begins! This was only fulfilled in the age of the church of Philadelphia when the Lord fought against the Roman
Catholic church by the Word of God as guarded and defended by King James I. From the time that the people of the earth
obtained God’s pure and Holy Word in the King James Version, God used the English people as His instrument to stem
the influence of the pope throughout the world. For nearly three hundred years, papal power fell to the hands of the
English. At least that is, until England turned its allegiance away from the King James Version in 1885 when they accepted
the perverted Revised Standard Version of Westcott and Hort. From this point, the British Empire “that the sun never set
upon,” began to disintegrate and the pope regained his power over the earth, and continues to trample it underfoot even
unto this day. John is the second witness that prophesied the works of King James and his translators.
In summary, we have reviewed several areas in the Scripture that speak of the fruits of two earthly kings. By
their fruits ye shall know them. The King James Bible is the true, literal, complete, inspired and prophesied
Word of God brought forth by the church of Philadelphia that preserved, maintained, guarded, defended and
carefully copied the Word of God, so that all men might be free to know and love our Lord Jesus in “spirit and
truth”( John 4:24). Knowing that the King James Bible was prophesied more than fifteen hundred years before it was
translated reassures our faith in this version. It is my hope that those who read this book will teach all those that have an ear
to hear about the fulfillment of these prophecies in the King James Version and end the hateful debate among “Bible
Scholars” on which Bible translation is the true unaltered Word of God. The testimony of our Lord Jesus Himself and of the
apostle John brings to an end all so called “scholarly debate” on this subject!
May God richly bless your diligent study of His Word so that you may be ready to be a watchman for the people. I pray
that you will warn all those who are walking down a path to destruction. It is my hope and prayer that you will be able to
stand before your Lord Jesus Himself and hear His gracious words (Matthew 25:21):
“ . . . Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the lord.”
These are the greatest words we can hear, and to be known to our Lord Jesus as His own personal servant. Throughout
this booklet, I have pointed to example after example that demonstrates the truth of II Timothy 3:16-17. “All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That
the man of God may be perfect, throughly finished unto all good works.” May the Lord bless you in all your studies through
the sanctification of His Holy Word alone to the glory of God the Father and grant unto you the understanding of His
Word through the inspiration of the Almighty. (Job 32:8)
