The edition I am quoting from is the sixth printing, December 1971. This quote from Dake’s Bible is the very first New Testament note in the edition that I have owned since the early seventies. As I have now learned, the Dake’s Bible was really the text of the Charismatics before there was a movement called 'Charismatic.' Let me give you one Scripture that is foundational to what Hagin, Copeland, Hinn, Crouch, etc. I never saw the deceptive quotes that I have recently discovered, probably because to begin with I never used it much. I basically quit using the Dake’s Bible about twenty years ago and simply put it on the shelf.įinally, I am beginning to learn why the inspiration I experienced caused me to move away from Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible. If Dake said it, then it really did not matter what anybody else said or what the general difference was in other Scriptures. That those who became strong in their study of Dake also became arrogant and unteachable. Many years ago I became leery of the Dake’s Bible, but never really understood why. He was never void of His divine essence, but He did limit Himself not to express it while depending wholly on His Father and the Holy Spirit.' – Joseph R. What is extremely important is that this emptying was not a forsaking of His eternal essence, but an emptying of manifesting that essence.
