I don't think your dabbling in Kabbalah is worth anything, especially not applied specifically to the KJ translation. It's a waste of time and has no value on a spiritual level. It's useless knowledge. I think you are being led down a spiritual garden-path and you are scouting for disciples to follow you. We don't need another thread full of this cosmic debris.
New Century Version – Translation Method
According to Thomas Nelson, Inc., the publisher of the New Century Version, the translation process of the NCV was guided by a commitment to be faithful to the manuscripts in the original languages. A team composed of the World Bible Translation Center and fifty additional, highly qualified and experienced Bible scholars and translators was assembled. The team included people with translation experience on such accepted versions as the New International Version, the New American Standard Bible, and the New King James Version. The most recent scholarship and the best available Hebrew and Greek texts were used, principally the third edition of the United Bible Societies’ Greek text and the latest edition of the Biblia Hebraica, along with the Septuagint.
New Century Version – Pro’s and Con’s
The fact that the New Century Version is a revision of a Bible translation that was designed for children has likely hindered its acceptance among adults. While there is nothing "childish" about the NCV, and while there is nothing wrong with an adult reading a Bible that was designed for children, the stigma remains. Overall, the New Century Version is an excellent Bible translation, with a good balance of dynamic and formal equivalence.

James37, I do not know you personally, so I agree that its just my opinion and I can be totally wrong.
I am just saying how it seems to me.
You, the KJVO guys, are fighting so sharply against other translations, calling them occult, corrupt, antichrist etc.
But the reality is, that I do not know any occultist propagating Message, I do not know any antichrist (muslim or judaistic Jew or buddhist) propagating NIV, I do not know any sectarian saying "read only ESV"...
On the other hand:
a) whenever some Flat Earth proponent comes... yes, he is reading the KJV.
b) whenever some Hollow Earth proponent comes, yes, its the KJV.
c) whenever somebody needs to attack Christians because they read "new translations" - yes, a KJV reader.
d) whenever somebody "discover number patterns", yes, a KJV reader.
e) whenever somebody comes with some strange doctrine about God or Christ, its mostly a KJV reader.
f) whenever somebody says we are not saved because we use wrong Bible - yes, a KJV reader.
So, you cannot be surprised that we are looking for connections why it is so. It cannot be a mere coincidence.
