Historic Bibles Fun Fact: The Golden Thread
Did you know. . .
that the Bible contains many promises, but the greatest promise of all - which includes all others - is God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:2-3, that God will make of Abraham a great nation and through him all the families of the earth will be blessed. This promise, or blessing, is replicated many times throughout the Bible culminating in the great promise declared in Revelation 21:3-5, that God himself will dwell among us and that death shall be no more because the former things have passed away. God will make all things new!

This great promise, like a golden thread, is woven throughout the Bible and is found explicitly in Exodus 6:6-8, Exodus 29:45, Leviticus 26:11-13, Isaiah 65:17, Jeremiah 11:4, Jeremiah 24:7, Jeremiah 31:31-34, Ezekiel 36:22-32, Ezekiel 37:26-28, Zechariah 8:8, and 2nd Corinthians 6:16. This is the promise, or blessing, that God through Christ brings for all the families of the earth. How God will bring this about, with finality, when we are hell-bent on destroying each other, is utterly unknown and unknowable. But the promise is distilled in the single command, "Behold, I make all things new!"" (Rev 21:5). Like the resurrection of Jesus, it will be nothing less than a new creation.

Mindful of these great promises, Historic Bibles & Engravings offers many Leaves and Manuscripts (400-800 years old) with these passages, and many more like them. You can search for them individually on our website via the search button (don't use verses) at the top of our Home Page.

4:5-7 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

"Historic Bibles Fun Fact: Size Matters
Did you know . . .

Bibles in English, starting with the 1539 Great Byble (that's the way it was spelled), were designed primarily for use in churches. These were typically 12-16 inches tall, or FOLIO size, for easy readability during worship services. There was no expectation at that time that Bibles would be used for personal or home use. However, beginning with the Geneva Bible of 1560, personal use Bibles became increasingly fashionable, because the editorial notes in the margins of the Geneva Bibles were intended as study aids, in defense of a Reformed (Calvinistic) interpretation. The Geneva Bibles were smaller than those designed for church use, about 9 inches tall, or QUARTO size. As personal usage Bibles became more and more popular, their sizes decreased to about 6 inches tall, or OCTAVO size. Some New Testaments were even smaller, about 5 inches tall, or DUODECIMO size. But the most popular size, continued by the King James Bible of 1611, up to the present time, was the QUARTO size Bible about 8" x 6". Although The King James Bible produced a few FOLIO sized Bibles, the lion's share were QUARTO size. QUARTO size leaves are available on our website under the ""Bifold Portfolio"" Category, while FOLIO size leaves are mostly found under the "Archival Booklet" Category. https://historicbibles.com/
