I spiritually believe that all the books mentioned in the Old Testament, where removed, should have been left in God's Word. Books mentioned in the Old Testament that are not included in the current biblical canon: 1. **The Book of the Wars of the Lord** - Mentioned in Numbers 21:14. 2. **The Book of Jasher** - Mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. 3. **The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel** - Mentioned in 1 Kings 14:19. 4. **The Chronicles of the Kings of Judah** - Mentioned in 1 Kings 14:29. 5. **The Book of Shemaiah the Prophet** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 12:15. 6. **The Story of the Prophet Iddo** - Also called Visions of Iddo the Seer, mentioned in 2 Chronicles 9:29. 7. **The Acts of Solomon** - Mentioned in 1 Kings 11:41. 8. **The Annals of King David** - Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:24. 9. **The Book of Nathan the Prophet** - Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 29:29 and 2 Chronicles 9:29. 10. **The Book of Gad the Seer** - Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 29:29. 11. **The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 9:29. 12. **The Visions of Iddo the Seer** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 9:29. 13. **The Acts of Shemaiah the Prophet and Iddo the Seer** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 12:15. 14. **The Acts of Jehu Son of Hanani** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 20:34. 15. **The Acts of the Seers** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 33:19. 16. **The Midrash of the Prophet Iddo** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 13:22. 17. **The Midrash on the Book of Kings** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:27. 18. **The Annals of Uzziah** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 26:22. 19. **The Visions of Isaiah the Prophet** - Mentioned in 2 Chronicles 32:32. 20. **The Book of the Annals** - Mentioned in Nehemiah 12:23. These books are referenced in the Old Testament but are not part of the canonical Bible. They provide additional historical and prophetic context but were not included in the final canon for various reasons. There are several instances where Jesus and the New Testament authors reference or allude to non-canonical books. Here are a few examples: 1. **Book of Enoch**: The Book of Jude quotes directly from the Book of Enoch. In Jude 1:14-15, it says, "Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: 'See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.'" This passage is a direct quote from 1 Enoch 1:9. 2. **Wisdom of Solomon**: There are several parallels between the teachings of Jesus and the Wisdom of Solomon. For example, in Wisdom 2:12-20, the righteous man is described in a way that closely parallels the suffering servant in Isaiah and the experiences of Jesus. 3. **Book of Jasher**: While not directly quoted in the New Testament, the Book of Jasher is referenced in the Old Testament in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. These references highlight the influence of these non-canonical texts on the thoughts and teachings of the New Testament authors. Jesus warns us: 1. **Not even a title should be removed from God's word**: This is found in Matthew 5:18, where Jesus says, "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." And now note that Peter gets rebuked like satan but his thoughts are merely human and not of God 2. **Peter rebuked as Satan**: This occurs in Matthew 16:23, where Jesus turns to Peter and says, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not consider God's concerns, but merely human concerns." Who are we as merely humans to say what books should be excepted and which not? If they were good for those God chose to give his word to and for Jesus and his disciples. Furthermore, they keep popping up throughout History found here and there. This is not a coincidence. It is God who let these last generations get back on track. We must remember the narrow path "is FOUND by only a FEW.
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed perspective! The references you mentioned provide deep historical and spiritual context. It’s always enlightening to explore how God's Word has been preserved and referenced throughout history. Blessings to you!
