”All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

When I studied theology, this was the main verse that I was taught concerning the Bible. It was a very long time ago, so I cannot remember all the details, but I seem to recall being taught that “all scripture” meant the “Bible.”

About 20 years later, I had a dream where the Holy Spirit showed me the names: “Jannes and Jambres.” The next morning, before I even had a cup of tea, I went back to the book I had read the day before, and I read that Jannes and Jambres were the magicians in Egypt.

Then my mind went one step further, and I thought that I had read those names somewhere in the Bible before, but I couldn’t remember where. So I went to the concordance, expecting to find an Old Testament reference, but there were none. There was only one reference, and it was in the New Testament:

“As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these men oppose the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:8.

As I sat there staring at the page, it dawned on me, that verse 16 was the main verse that I was taught in theology, and that Paul was quoting from a different Bible. It was like the “cherry on the cake” or “the tip of the iceberg” concerning lots of other things that the Holy Spirit had taught me over the years. I told my family it was “one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind.” Like a man walking on the moon.

The next step was to find where Paul was quoting from. I found an ancient writing that mentioned “Jannes and his brother” but that didn’t fit the equation. At that time we were living in South Africa, and computers on the market, but we were very poor and didn’t own a fancy computer. I had lost my job working at a church school, and didn’t have a salary.

So we sold the house, and flew back to Canada. One day in America, I got a clue to solving the mystery. A dear old lady was telling us about an ancient writing that someone had given her. I interrupted her, and asked her what the ancient writing was that she was talking about. She replied: “Jasher, or something, it is mentioned in the Bible.”

We came back to Canada and I looked in the concordance again to find the word “Jasher” and there were two references. Then it dawned on me that I had read that word before. One time in South Africa when my wife was doing real estate, I covered for her when she had an “open house” and I borrowed her Amplified Bible, and I read a bit as I was waiting for customers. I remembered reading that word in Joshua 10:13 and putting a question mark in the margin of her Bible, but I had forgotten all about it.

There is also another reference, of how King David taught his men to fight according to the words of Judah in the Book of Jasher. 2 Samuel 1:18.

One day I saw a sign on a light pole that there was a free computer course available down town. During one of the coffee breaks my wife suggested that I type in the “Book of Jasher” in the search engine. So I did that, and I ordered a copy of the book from an American company. I found Jannes and Jambres names in chapter 79 verse 27. Apparently there are many different versions of the Book of Jasher.

So beloved, how come we don’t have the book of Jasher in our Bibles? Jesus said that by the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established. Matthew 18:16. Here we have 3 witnesses mentioned in every Bible. The Holy Spirit showed me these names after reading the Gospel of Nicodemas. So there are 4 witnesses. How many witnesses does it take to get people to believe the truth? “The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.”

 In 1977 I had a vision of the coming of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit said to me: “The Lord cometh with ten thousands of his holy ones.” After the vision, I got to thinking that Jude was quoting from Enoch, but we don’t have Enoch’s writings in our Bibles. At that time I was on a temporary visa in South Africa, and my home county was going through terrorist warfare.

Many years later at the World’s biggest bookstore in Toronto, I came across the writings on Enoch. From there it led to many journeys in many other different directions.

Every writer in the New Testament quotes scriptures from a different Bible. Jesus himself quotes scriptures that are not found in our Bibles.

One time, many years ago, I had a man shouting at me in my face that I don’t agree with the Cannon of Scripture. I wonder, if he ever gets to heaven, will he shout at Jesus in his face, or Peter or Paul, or John, or James, or Jude? I have had so many church people hate me on account of the Holy Spirit. Beloved, on this website I have lots of other references to other scriptures, and if you want know more, you can check them out.

Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. 3 John 2

I wish you love, joy and peace, and everlasting life.

Remember our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins.
