Part Four of my Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

This is the four part of the my trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC. There is a lot to see and learn. If one wants to learn not only about the Bible but also those who were or are involved in it, this museum is the go to place. I would recommend not only going once but a few times. I believe there are parts that change. I think one can not learn everything there in just one trip. 


This is George Washington Carver. I think he was a brilliant man. He did so much to help farmers create a market for what they grow.

Here is information on George Washington Carver. It was really interesting.

This is the Gutenberg press. It was really cool looking. I believe this is a replica.

Here is another view of it. A Gutenberg press was used to print a Bible. I believe it was the first book to be printed using it. 

Here are some images of the pages that was printed using the replica Gutenberg printer. I think they came out really nice. It made printing Bibles easier and faster. Before this, Bibles was copied by hand, which was time consuming. 

I believe this was Elvis Presley's Bible. 

This was a place where one could record - in a video - how the Bible influenced you. I used it to give my testimony. I think it was neat. It has to be approved. I did not - in my opinion - say anything controversial. 

This was one of the floors but I am not sure which one.

This is the top floor with a view of the other buildings. There was two rooms with artifacts but one was closed. I believe it led to an auditorium where they had performances (none happening when we were there). 

These are bone boxes. After the body has decayed and the bones remained, they are placed in these boxes. They are a lot smaller than coffins or caskets.

The Lord's Pressence

  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at ...

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a varie...

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

Image
  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me pa...
