The Pegg Project® research (1998-2017) found that when some English words from the English KJV of the Bible were checked for their original Hebrew and Greek meanings as stated in the Lexicons of Strong's Concordance, it became clear that in many cases those original and intended meanings had NOT been used.

How to read the Lexicons

Example: English word DOUBLE as stated in the KJV Bible.
Find the listing for that word in the Hebrew Lexicon, numbered 3717.
Hebrew word 3717 means to fold together

So, the original Hebrew meaning of word #3717 (rendered as 'double' in English) was actually "to fold together" and not 'double'.

'Two of something' is totally different to something that 'folds together', which means the traditional English translation has misrepresented what was reported in the Hebrew text.

How to conduct this Workshop

Each time you check for a word's original meaning, you need to ask yourself "Has the English translation accurately cited the primary meaning stated in Strong's Concordance" as anything else is a later religious rendering/guess (ie. mistranslation).

Your task here is to affirm that not only are some of the traditional meanings given in the English Bible are not the primary ones, but to confirm their actual original meanings. By doing this you may then appreciate how this has obviously changed the context of the ancient stories when they were translated into English in 1611 AD.

Hebrew words examined

Example: English word ANGEL as stated in the KJV Bible.
Find the listing for that word in the Hebrew Lexicon, numbered 4397.
Hebrew word 4397 means (to despatch as a deputy) a messenger

Hebrew word 4397 means (to despatch as a deputy) a messenger

The notation "from an unused root" means that while they knew to what the root meaning of the word referred - they chose to ignore it. The root meaning actually tells us more about the word in question and provides its context.

Thus the original Hebrew meaning of word #4397 (rendered as 'angel' in English) was actually a "messenger (despatched as a deputy)" - with an 'angel' being a rendered English concept of a prophet, priest, or teacher who specifically followed only God.

So when was the rendering into the 'supernatural being' that we now traditionally know - being the conventionalized image of a human figure in white with wings and a halo ?

Let's review the following historical information:

Though many theologians have argued that they have no physical existence, "angels" are frequently depicted as human in appearance. Beginning at the end of the 4th century presumably to give an easy explanation for them travelling to and from heaven or to depict them as spirits, they were depicted with wings.¹

and

A new type of angel, with wings appeared in Christian art from the reign of Constantine. The oldest existing examples of winged angels are seen in some bas-reliefs of Carthage and a representation on ivory of St Michael, both attributed to the fourth century.²

So, the original Hebrew meaning of 'angel' (in English) was actually a 'messenger (who was despatched as a deputy)'.

For 1600 years prior to that 'angel' in the Old Testament simply mean a 'messenger (despatched as a deputy)' - no supernatural being with white wings or a halo there.

Based upon your own findings and where your score fits on the above graph, YOU have just answered the question - Has the Pegg Project® researcher correctly cited the original ancient meanings for these words from the Bible ?

This means what we have been told regarding the traditional Bible stories does not reflect the original meanings nor context of what was seen and encountered by both the Old and New Testament writers.

The now obvious mistranslation into English of the Bible's words has hidden the original messages written down in ancient times. What were deemed stories about gods and angels were accounts of human time traveller encounters.

Queensland researcher Ronald Pegg in the late 1990s discovered reports of human time travel encounters documented in over 30 ancient texts.
At least 21 of those individual ancient manuscripts have been included in the compilation known as The Bible (both Old and New Testaments).
