Product Description For over 50 years, the Dake Annotated Reference Bible has set the standard for study bibles, combining thoughtful scholarship with easy accessibility, and providing the serious student with the tools necessary to "rightly divide the Word of Truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). In keeping with that heritage, we at Dake Publishing are excited to introduce the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Dake Annotated Reference Bible. The Rapture And The Second Coming Of Christ, by Finis J. Dake, (Lawrenceville, Georgia: Dake Bible Sales, Inc. 1977) GPFM, 342, emphasis in original; cf. 610. See also, “Redemption Fallacies Refuted,” DARB (Old Testament), 625–26. The doctrine of the providence of God is brought out as a Father who is responsible for his children. Dake included prosperity, health, healing, wants, needs and scores of other Gospel benefits as being God’s gifts to men.13

The general principle Finis Dake adhered to throughout the Dake Bible is that of literalizing instead of spiritualizing. Statements of fact and historical accounts are accepted as such. THE RULE OBSERVED IS: Take the Bible literally wherein it is at all possible; if symbolic, figurative or typical language is used, then look for the literal truth it intends to convey. William Lane Craig, Knowing the Truth About the Resurrection (Ann Arbor, MI: Servant Books, 1981), 108. Dake sees man as God’s crowning creation. Man was created to dominate and rule God’s creation on the earth. Man in his un-fallen state acted exactly like God in the exercise of his faculties, only his attributes and powers were limited.14 The Fall, however caused man to loose his crown of glory. Christ was sent to redeem man and restore him to his place of authority. The full and complete restoration of man’s place of dominion will not be complete however until the last enemy death is destroyed. Dake’s recurring theme of guaranteed health by positive confession of faith is paralleled by his theme of guaranteed prosperity. 61 These are standard doctrines among Word-Faith teachers and can devastate a person’s health, finances, and faith if followed. Dake, to his credit, argues that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God; therefore, it cannot contain contradictions. His effort to systematize biblical teachings on hundreds of topics appears to be sincere. He argues that the Bible was written in simple human language and should be interpreted at face value: “We shall let what God says mean what He says and reject any theory of men to the contrary.” 19 Dake’s overriding rule of interpretation is, “Take every statement of the Bible as literal when it is at all possible and where it is clear that it is literal, otherwise, it is figurative.” 20 Dake applies this often-repeated rule unwaveringly, and his simple, literal interpretations probably account for the popularity of his Bible commentary. His attention to the biblical text results in many correct observations and interpretations; however, his overly simplistic, hyperliteral approach results in many incorrect interpretations as well as unorthodox and problematic doctrines in his theology.

Dake argues, as noted above, that before the Incarnation, the Son (Jesus) had a spirit body as did the Father and the Spirit; however, he says that when Jesus came to earth, He exchanged His spirit body for a human body: “He laid aside His God body to take a human body, His immortality in body to become mortal.” 36 Jesus’ resurrection, in Dake’s view, was a return to a spiritual body, the same kind of body that believers will receive at their resurrection. Dake claimed, “Even resurrected bodies of flesh-and-bone saints are called ‘spiritual’ (1Cor.15:44), so spiritual bodies are of materialized, spiritualized substance — something we know nothing about, as far as experience is concerned, at the present time.” 37 This type of spiritualized body, he argues, enabled Jesus (as it will us) to go through doors (John20:26), appear and disappear at will (Luke24:31), and change form (Mark16:12). The Christian life is to be a life without being dominated by sin; a life of holiness. “If men today get the salvation of the New Testament they will be holy and Righteous.”20 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Published more than 30 years ago and billed as “the Pentecostal Study Bible,” Dake’s has seen an upsurge in popularity in recent years, selling more than 30,000 copies in 1992, perhaps due to its embrace by leading Word-Faith teachers such as Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, and Benny Hinn.

Dake argues, however, that Jesus did not possess His divine attributes while on earth. He explains, “The limitations of Christ in knowledge and wisdom cannot be explained and harmonized with the fact that Christ had omniscience [unlimited knowledge]. His limitations in power and His powerlessness to act and do things in Himself cannot be harmonized with the fact that He had his original attribute of omnipotence [unlimited power]…. Christ’s emptying Himself in reality includes the laying aside of His attributes and powers or at least limitations of them in becoming man.” 41 Dake says that Jesus “could not have retained immutability.” 42 Finally, Dake states that Jesus became unequal with God: “If He had not laid aside His equality as God, then He could not have been unequal with God as manifested in the days of his flesh.” 43 This characterization of the Trinity as three separate beings is different than the historic Christian view that the Trinity is three separate persons who are united in one essence or substance — in other words, one being. When Dake says “all three persons are one in unity and eternal substance,” he means three separate beings who are one in unity or purpose. It is true that all three persons in the Trinity are one in purpose, but the historic Christian view is that “one in substance” means one in being ( essence or nature). In other words, the Trinity is three persons (three whos) who are one being (one what).

If you want the best study and reference Bible then sooner or later you’re going to own a Dake, a “Dake Annotated Reference Bible!” Why not now? The historic Christian view of the Trinity — that God is one being constituted by three persons — is “foolish and unscriptural, to say the least,” says Dake. 28 He states, it is a fallacy “that there is only one person or one being called God.” 29 Dake says that the Trinity is three separate and distinct persons in one God; however, he defines person as “a rational being with bodily presence, soul passions, and spirit faculties.” 30 In his view, person and being mean the same thing. He concludes, therefore, that the Trinity is three separate and distinct beings, each with a body, soul, and spirit: “What we mean by Divine Trinity is that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead, each one having His own personal spirit body, personal soul, and personal spirit in the sense that each human being, angel, or any other being has his own body, soul and spirit.” 31 There are also Greek and Hebrew definitions. There are plenty of them throughout the whole Bible. Some give simple definitions. Others give longer explanations with references to other verses that use the same word. These are great for word studies.
