The Missing Ethiopian Bible
The Bible, once containing 88 books, now contains only 66 books, meaning 22 books were cut out. Some of the deletions occurred in the late 4h century A.D. when the Vulcate Latin Bible was formulated. Most of the remaining deletions came about during the formation of the King James Version of The Bible, first published in 1611.
We know The Bible has not only been shortened but crippled in some ways. After all, it was the work of Satanists to leave The Bible with only 66 books, 66 being the mark of the Devil!
So how do we go about researching and reading the missing books? Most of them appear in the older Ethiopian version of The Bible, including perhaps the most significant of those missing books — Enoch, a heavily prophetic account resembling The Book of Revelations.
But there are many problems verifying these Ethiopian books. For starters, there are different versions of The Bible used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Haile Selassie, who served as Empire of Ethiopia from 1933 to 1958, commissioned a shorter, somewhat more compact version of The Bible. So should we draw the books from his canon, or the canon adopted by the Orthodox Church some 2000 to 3000 years earlier?
And what about the Kebra Nagast, a 14th-century text that traces the story of the Queen of Sheba and her interactions with the Solomonic dynasty? In addition, there are numerous questions about which missing books ought to be restored, and how that could happen. Some books seem to tell full stories, while others depict threads that are incomplete or appear to vanish abruptly. Here’s more from Motech.
