I'll throw out yet another example.
The Lord Jesus also spoke in Hebrew to the apostle Paul, and it was then translated into inspired Greek. We see this in Acts 26:14 to 18 "And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me IN THE HEBREW TONGUE, Saul, Saul, why persecuteth thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks" And He continues all the way through verse 18 speaking in Hebrew but translated into the inspired Greek text.
How about that. What's impossible for man, is possible for God.

John146 said:
"I can't say for certain. Maybe the Lord had His word translated into English at the perfect time in history, foreseeing the greatest revival movement the world has ever seen through English speaking preachers."
Let me ask you the question again since you did not answer it the first time.
When in history did this happen?

If that is true then why are there so many variations between the 1380 Wycliffe translation and the other eleven English translations leading up to 1611. If they were inspired, there would be no variants. For that matter, why are there so many variants in the KJV between 1611 and 1638? Which one is the inspired text?

The word of God was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Our modern translations are preserved translations by the Holy Spirit. Translations are not inspired as they are not original but copies of the original.
We need to stop arguing over inspiration and start believing what has been preserved for us. What language you hear Gods word in is not as important as the belief created by the Holy Spirit in the heart of the hearer.

God's word has always been available, just not in pure, complete form in English. If God can save a soul with a few spoken words or a few words written on a tract or t-shirt, He can cause a reformation or revival from incomplete Bibles as well. Everybody knows God’s word was available in several different forms and languages before 1611, but not His complete word in one language.
