Your Bible is missing something special about Jesus

 

The Bible they did not want you to have.  Your Bible does not have Jesus highlighted in red print in the Old Testament.  Let me explain.  This “Rubricated American Heritage Bible (RAHB)” is a historical work preserving the 1901 A.D. Bible that almost faded into history.  The RAHB provides a historical background preface and a facsimile reproduction of this Bible.  This book encapsulates the “Holy Bible: Red Letter Edition” by Louis Klopsch, the first complete Bible to emphasize Jesus Christ with rubrication (red letters) that is very different from today’s red prints.  Today's red-print Bibles neglect to emphasize Christ with red print in the Old Testament as the original innovator (Klopsch) initially did.

 

Jesus and the Apostle Paul expounded on the Scriptures.  Jesus uses the historiography principle of primary sourcing the written word from the Old Testament to explain how it testified of Him (John 5:39).  Using Louis Klopsch's Red Letter Bible makes it easy to uncover Jesus in the Old Testament.  In Luke 24:27, 32, 44-47, Jesus pointed to the O.T. scriptures (Tanakh) concerning himself.  Likewise, the O.T. is what the Apostles and early Church Fathers used to preach from as the N.T. was in development, so understanding Christ in the O.T. is crucial to understanding Christianity.  The Apostle Paul points to the O.T. witness of Christ the Messiah in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.  One such example of the O.T. passages is that of Isaiah 53.

 

Klopsch included the Old Testament rubrication in his Bible, emphasizing the Jewish Jesus (Yeshua) and unveiling the Messianic Christ.  This Bible will help one understand principles like redemption and justification with O.T. context.  Thus, this holds Christological, eschatological, and Messianic Judaism importance.  In the New Testament, dominical words are rubricated to easily distinguish the Savior's character, just as you would see in today's Bibles with words of Christ in Red.  This is a must-have Bible study companion that also makes a great gift.

 

Where does the text come from?  The title page indicates the Red Letter Bible's textual origin.  "Translated out of the original tongues: With former translations diligently compared and revised."  It is apparent that the King James Bible (being the most widely accepted version in America then) was among the "translations diligently compared."  The Red Letter Bible was recognized by royalty and associated with famous preachers, such as D. L. Moody, T. De Witt Talmage, and Charles Spurgeon.  Furthermore, one can be comfortable that the correlated passages to the Holy Trinity, Gospel, and Deity of Jesus Christ are accurate to the original text.

RAHB Isaiah 61
Old Testament

Isaiah 61:1-2

Notice the passage above in red letters because Jesus referenced this passage. Then, you will see in the center column "cross reference" above in red designating Luke 4:18 (shown on the right), where Jesus makes the reference in the New Testament. Also, notice the red stars on the right side of the passage above; these designate a prophetic reference to Christ.

RAHB Luke 4
New Testament

Luke 4:18

Notice the passage above in verse 18, the words of Christ in red letters where He references the Old Testament passage (shown on the left) in Isaiah 61:1-2.
