Oracles. Probably mean oracles about the people of God. God will keep His promises and will preserve His people for ever.
Quite a simple and clear idea.
I am afraid that you are in a circle reasoning, as somebody said. There must be a perfect word of God (KJV), because God promised it (in KJV).
All other Bibles I have checked have this verse differently.

Not all the KJV's will have footnotes on it. Here's a footnote for you though. https://bible.org/article/textual-problem-1-john-57-8
I do not think God preserved His word for every generation in the same level of accuracy.
But I think God preserved His word in the suitable accuracy for all of His people in every time.
Like you said "we can still get the message". Even 21 centuries after the autographs. It is a preservation.
But not in the automatic copying style where every bit is the same.

משׁד עניים מאנקת אביונים עתה אקום יאמר יהוה אשׁית בישׁע יפיח לו׃ Psalms 12:6
The Hebrew word יְהֹוָה in this sentence is a tetragrammaton transliterated as YHWH or JHVH and pronounced as Yahweh or Jehovah. The Jewish people have, for well over two millennia, believed that this name is too sacred to be pronounced, or used in written form unnecessarily. Therefore, the word אֲדֹנָי (Adonai) meaning Lord is substituted. The American Standard Version gives us a literal translation:
Psalms 12:6 The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.
This is a very important fact because it further proves the absolute absurdly and incorrectness of the ridiculous claim that “the words of the Lord” in Psalm 12:6 is a reference to the Bible. Indeed, the expression “the word of God” is found four times in the Old Testament, and in none of these places is the tetragrammaton יְהֹוָה used.

I don't trust history... Barrack Obama won the Nobel peace prize lol. I don't know anything about the history of the originals. I don't base inerrancy on words matching the originals. I always get caught up in debating about original languages and used to be interested in that but it's really a waste of my time and I don't have time to learn another language to understand the bible. If that works for you, more power to ya.
