In addition to the many study aids you’ll enjoy as you explore inside, we’d like to point out some features about the name and unique cover design of your new Remnant Study Bible.
The Title: “Special Forces Study Bible”
Since God will have an “army of youth” in the end time to live and work for Him, this name has been chosen with young people, especially, in mind—though in truth, anyone of any age can be a part of God’s “Special Forces” army.
It’s also true that Dwight Hall, President of Remnant Publications—the publisher of this Bible—is himself a former soldier in the Army’s Special Forces. As such, he has a unique understanding of the parallels between the Special Forces of the military and the Special Forces God is assembling for His final assault on evil in these last days.
The Thorns Emblem
Jesus has called us to pick up our cross daily and follow Him. When we do that, we will be opposed by the enemy and even suffer persecution. But Jesus tells us that “If I have suffered, you will suffer even more.”
Part of being God’s special people as the end nears—part of His Special Forces—is to bravely endure and even welcome the opportunity to bear our cross as Jesus did His.
The Bible Verse
Notice the text that begins, “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation…”
At the end of this verse, following the ellipsis, is the text reference of 2 Peter 2:9. Now, when the first samples of this version of the Remnant Study Bible came to us from the printer, we noticed that instead of the reference we had intended—1 Peter 2:9—the reference was instead 2 Peter 2:9.
We considered changing it, but as we did, an idea impressed itself on us—an idea we want to pass on to you and which we think may well have been providential in the difference between these two references.
After all, the thought occurred to us, 1 Peter 2:9 is just the beginning when it comes to our Christian life. Yes, we are called to be God’s Special Forces—His “chosen generation, royal priesthood, holy nation, His own special people.” But we decided to leave 2 Peter 2:9 in the references as a challenge to read more than just this one verse, in order to discover what “special” really means in God’s eyes.
So we would challenge each of you who purchases one of these Special Forces Bibles to read the entire range of verses from 1 Peter 2:9 through 2 Peter 2:9 at least once a month! Imagine the blessing that awaits you if you accept this challenge and learn more fully what it means to be called and chosen to be active in what God is doing—and has planned—here in these final days on Earth.
The Circle of Thorns
This, of course, is a constant reminder of the amazing love for you that drove Him to the cross—that helped Him endure the cruel thorns, the whippings, and the agony of the cross itself, for you and for us all.
As you look at this circle of thorns from time to time, may it remind you that you are loved—that Jesus sees you as so valuable that He would pay any price for you.
The Bible Title / E. G. White Comments
We wanted this study Bible to be based on a translation of the Bible that would be accurate, yet easily understandable for people today. The New King James Version meets those aims. And of course, the E. G. White comments in this Bible help it come alive, not only for personal study but in sharing God’s Word with others.
What People Are Saying
Many study Bibles are available today. The new Remnant Study Bible, however, is unique in ways that set it apart from all others. For example, in the list below, you’ll notice that for the first time ever, this Bible combines special comments by E. G. White with the text of the New King James Version. In addition, this Bible is replete with a full array of Bible study aids, including a complete set of Chain Reference Bible Studies, a section on Prophetic Symbols, and sections on the prophecies of Daniel and on the Bible’s teaching about the Sanctuary.
Of course, this Bible also includes what any good study Bible offers, such as book introductions and outlines, an extensive concordance, an abundance of cross-references, and wide margins for personal notes.
