Not all Bibles have red letters. I just like my study Bibles to have them.

I'm more focused on when people try to delete scriptures.

Revelation 22:18-19

Red-Letter (Rubricated) Edition Bibles

Louis "Klopsch published the first modern red letter edition New Testament later in 1899. The first modern, fully rubricated bible was published in 1901."1 According to Wikipedia,2

Because the original texts of the Sacred Scriptures do not have quotation marks, which words exactly are Dominical has been interpreted, as opposed to explanatory text that follows them.

While some red-letter edition bibles have Rev. 21:5-6 rubricated, others do not. In fact, Klopsch's own edition published in 1901 did not have these verses rubricated:

Louis Klopsch Red Letter Bible, Rev. 21:5-6

Book of Revelation

In the Book of Revelation, the author consistently refers to God the Father as "He who sits on the throne."3 The living creatures give thanks to "Him who sits on the throne."4 John sees a book in the right hand of "Him who sits on the throne."5 He then sees the Lord Jesus Christ-"the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David"-come to open the book.6 Then, "he came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sits upon the throne."7 In Rev. 5:13, "Him who sits upon the throne" is distinguished from "the Lamb."8

13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. KJV, 1769

It is likely that Rev. 21:5-6 is spoken by God the Father since the author mentions "the Lamb" elsewhere in the chapter,9 and the author continues to distinguish between God the Father and the Lamb.10 One verse later in Rev. 21:7, the subject (speaker) states, "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

 

Red letter verses in the red letter Bible's comment on 2020-11-06 02:58:53:

All the red letters are the words of Jesus.

He had been crucified and then resurrected to life again, before the Book of Revelation. That's why the Book of Acts and Revelation have those red letters. Jesus is alive.

Nobody can dispute with the red letters.

All the Apostles (disciples Jesus traveled with) knew they would be killed eventually.

Except Apostle John. They dumped him on a little island to die alone. But first he wrote the Book of Revelation. :D

When I was a new Christian, I would touch the red letters as I read them. Funny huh?

Why is some of the printing in the REVELATION, RED, in Chapters 2 and 3? Also in REV. 14:10, 19:20, the Beast was also cast into fire and 21:8, it addresses the issue of fire, which is the second Death. Is this because the first Death was by water for the evil people? I also believe FIRE is pertaining to Nuclear Fire, for we are, in the near future heading this way. With the advancements of the Electronic age, the whole World is now engaged in Serious EVIL everywhere. Destruction from this age will kill all life, good and evil!

I think The Lord told me the seven stars of revelation are his seven brides here on the earth
