Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, Ephesians 3:8.
Probably one of the greatest differences in the new versions over a King James Bible is that they are finitely searchable. There is no depth to them. Carrying one is like taking a vacuous blonde to your class reunion. She looks impressive until someone actually talks to her and finds out how truly hollow she is. I'm reminded of Charles II's observation of his brother in law, Prince George of Denmark; "I've tried him drunk and I've tried him sober and there is just nothing to the man".
One of the wonders of the King James Bible is that it is unsearchable. No matter how long you study it, and no matter how long you cross reference, it always leads you to new truths which in turn lead to new revelations. I have no doubt that if the readers of this blog should assemble to reminisce one trillion years from now, none of us will have exhausted the depths of our bible. We would rejoice as one by one, we recounted the depths of Christ that we have seen in the pages of that book.
It was King David who said, Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore, Psalms 16:11. If when we are ushered into the presence of Jesus Christ, we are filled with infinite knowledge, we would eventually become bored. Instead, there are pleasures for ever more. That is a difficult verse to believe. I have found pleasure in many things in life, but with many of those things, they wore thin. I no longer found pleasure therein. I am assured that this great study that I commenced upon so many years ago will never end. I will have pleasure in the unsearchable riches of Christ forevermore. I will use my King James Bible through eternity.
To date, I’ve come across roughly six other watches presented to Kodak employees either upon their retirement or after having completed however many link decades of service with the company. Understandably, the more desirable of the bunch were the former, being modest Rolex Oysters executed in either solid gold or two-tone cases. The latter have always been Tudors, link but attractive references at that, suggesting link a logically hierarchical nature to the photographic firm’s watch allotment system.
While these Newman dial Daytonas were not particularly popular in their day, link the Newman has gone on to become the most recognizable manifestation of the Daytona, period. These link watches link continue to fetch huge results at auction and have not lost any popularity in the modern era of collecting.
All told, the Vulcain Skindiver Nautique is an easy-to-understand re-issue of a sixties design that nails the easy-wearing link appeal of a link small and subtle dive watch. It doesn't do anything new, but that's essentially the whole link point.
"I will use my King James Bible through eternity."
Amen!

but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
