  • KINGDOM OF HEAVEN/KINGDOM OF GOD COMPARISON CHART
                                                                       THEES THOUS THYS, THINES YES, YOUS, YOURS  OH MY!
                                                                             (Or, how to get "y" s without getting "t" 'd off !)

Thee,thine thou, ye you, can sometimes be seem archaic and confusing if not just plain old fashioned and out-dated. The fact of the matter is that there are reasons for them. In modern talk, we use the word "you" for everything. Whether we are talking to one person or a group, we use the word "you." If I were yelling at a child I would say, "Close the door. Were YOU born in a barn?"  If I were yelling at more than one child I would say, "Close the door. Were YOU born in a barn?" In the 1600's(when the King James was translated) our language was much different. We would say, "Wast thou born in a barn?" if we were yelling at one child. We would say, Were You born in a barn?" If yelling at more than one child.
 
The rule(which works every time) is this:Thee, thine, thou mean only one person is being addressed. Ye, you, your, mean more than one person is being addressed.   If it begins with a "t", a singular person is addressed. If it begins with a "y", it is plural. This will be true in every verse of the Bible. As examples, consider the verses below:

Luk 22:31,32   And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for
                              thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 


Jesus is talking to Simon(Peter) saying Satan hath desired to have you. Since the word You is used, we know that Satan has desired to have all of them, That he may sift all of them. But, I have prayed for prticularly , only thee Peter. That Peter, thy faith fail not. And that when thou Peter are converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Lev 10:9  Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall
                    be
a statute for ever throughout
your generations:

By understanding the difference between the "t" and "y" words we can more fully know the scriptures. Imagine if in the above verses, all the "t" words were replaced by "y" words and vice-a-versa. We could have new doctrines and denominations!
