For some, your answer and your help is right there before you…. in love and in kindness, not in cruelty or force.

Prophetic Word: Critical Window Closing For Scribes in Sacred & Secular Communities
© 2021 Theresa Harvard Johnson
I have written extensively over the past three years about the “New Frontier” that we have pioneered as prophetic scribes. In this new century, I discussed the window of opportunity that extended across the first 25 years of this century and how “the opportunity of this time” is rapidly approaching.
As a reminder, I heard this as a tremendous urgency came upon me: “A critical window is closing for scribes in both sacred and secular communities.”
This word specifically correlates with the digital age, the massive rise of social networking, the dependency on digital devices and how all of it has transformed and continues to influence communication, publishing, education, and the entertainment in the 21st century. It also confirms that this part of the century has been a womb for the awakening of the present-day scribe through The Scribal Anointing for those who have been bold enough to explore and extend its prophetic boundaries in administrative, instructional, and creative arenas.

Most of my friends who are pastors, like I am, lean toward the ENGLISH KJV or the NKJV bible translations. The reasoning behind this is primarily rooted in this truth: Exhaustive study resources, commentaries and historical materials for exegetical study are tied to this version. It has only been in recent years that other “formal” bible translations are developing their own exhaustive concordances, keyword dictionaries and other resources.
Part I: How To Choose A Bible

Discussion from the Scribal Prophets Group
We have had “the what Bible is best convo” at least five times in this group over the last two years. Among those who reach out to me or post in Scribal Prophets, most people choose bibles based on three things: 1. They want to read the most accurate translation of God’s Word; 2. They are looking for something simple and easy to read to help them develop and grow spiritually; and/or 3. They want a bible that will assist them in research, scholarly pursuits or exegetical study.
It is for this reason that I believe we do not have “a best Bible” to choose from in this day and time. Why? Well, because we choose Bibles based on our personal “needs”… not just on who says what is best. At different times in our lives, different translations may speak to us. HOW BLESSED WE ARE TODAY BECAUSE… four hundred years ago there was only one choice for most people. Even scarier, the average Joe couldn’t read or obtain one anyway. We are tremendously blessed today, especially in this country.
