And God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. - Genesis 1:11

It was the word of God, the sound of God, that created the Earth.

...
And that sound is Christ

Apocryphal Texts
Wisdom of Solomon
Ecclesiasticus of Sirach
In the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Old Testament and other Jewish writings, the Wisdom of Solomon and Sirach are listed alongside Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon as the seven books of wisdom. What are they really?
------------------------------
The Wisdom of Solomon is packed full of wisdom contributed to King Solomon.
In 1 Kings 3:12-13 the Lord gave Solomon "a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee."

Is Wisdom therefore Solomon's wisdom? It is doubtful. The Wisdom of Solomon was most likely authored in Greek rather than in Hebrew. Second, the date of writing is uncertain, but is generally not believed to be before the second century BC, approximately 800 years after the lifetime of Solomon. Third, the early church determined that Solomon was not the author. An early manuscript called the Muratorian fragment notes the book was written by "the friends of Solomon in his honor."
------------------------------
Ecclesiasticus or Sirach is a second century BC writing by a Jewish scribe named Shimon ben Yeshua ben Eliezer ben Sira who was from Jerusalem. Ecclesiasticus was originally written in Hebrew though it also existed in Greek after being translated in Egypt by the author's grandson Joshua. It is believed Shimon was living in Alexandria, Egypt, where he had started a Jewish school, at the time of the book's compilation. Ecclesiasticus is the only book found in the Apocrypha whose writer signed the writing. The book was also found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

There are some passages that resemble the New Testament such as...
Sirach 29:11 -
"Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold."
Matthew 6:19-20 -
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"
and Sirach 10:14 -
"The Lord hath cast down the thrones of proud princes, and set up the meek in their stead."
Luke 1:52 where Mary is glorying in her pregnancy -
"He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree."

This book specifically is one of the few apocryphal writings with legitimacy concerning its authorship and when it was written.
Jerome believed it was best considered among the ecclesiastical books (writings of the church) rather than as one of the canonical biblical books. This evaluation reflected the earlier church councils and leaders and remains the best evaluation of the Book of Ecclesiasticus for today.
While this work is not a forgery, it can be assumed the book was not inspired or God-breathed.

Here is a couple lists of different Apocryphal texts, including a huge portion of Gnostic works. I dont agree 100% with the categories of the books but its a list of works nonetheless.

Apocryphal Texts
Judith
Tobit
Both of these books are regarded in the Catholic and Orthodox churches as deuterocanonical. What are they about and is there any legitimacy?
------------------------------
The Book of Judith is about a widow named Judith who uses her beauty and charm to destroy Assyrian general and save Israel from oppression. Already, this short summary shows some problems morally and doctrinally.

The Hebrew versions name important figures directly such as the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, thus placing the events in the Hellenistic period when the Maccabees battled the Seleucid monarchs.
The Greek version uses deliberately cryptic and non-historic references such as "Nebuchadnezzar", a "King of Assyria", who "reigns in Nineveh", for the same king. The adoption of that name, though unhistorical, has been sometimes explained either as a copyist's addition, or an arbitrary name assigned to the ruler of Babylon.

This book is not historically accurate. Neither Greek nor Hebrew writings confirm when it is taken place or certain things that take place. Because of these inconsistencies, some scholars believe the book to be a historic novel or a historic drama meant to be acted out on stage.
------------------------------
The Book of Tobit is a story about two different Israelite families:
-Tobit, a blind but wealthy Israelite man, is deported to Nineveh while his wealth is left behind. His son, Tobias, is sent to retrieve silver from Media for his father with the aide of the angel Raphael.
-A demon named Asmodeus falls in love with a woman named Sarah, a woman from Media, and kills any man who gets too close with Sarah.
On the journey, Tobias meets Sarah and falls in love. With help of the angel Raphael, the demon is exorcized and Tobias marries Sarah. They journey back to Nineveh and the father Tobit is healed of his blindness.

Five copies of the book were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QTob 196-200) in both Hebrew and Aramaic. The book was also found in Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, and Syriac in their respective areas.
Because of its discovery in the Dead Sea Scrolls we can confirm Tobit was part of the second temple library. Based on the story, we can assume the book was first written around 700.BCE. The oldest copies found are dated from 225 and 175.BC.

After we get through the KJV 1611 apocryphal books we'll get to the real meat and potatoes I promise

Quick rundown:

-Naming Peter “rock” is a title of honor being under God not of power (see how God renames the patriarchs)
-The rock of Peter is his faith and ministry in Christ not in his own humanity (see Origen, Cyprian, Augustine, Hilary, Bede, Chrysostom)
-This is a ministry bound in faith not lineage or location like the Levites
-The keys of heaven are given to all the apostles not just Peter (John 20:21-23)
-The apostles are all sent without distinction (John 20:21)
-Confirming new disciples/apostles never required Peter’s approval (Paul, Timothy, Titus)
-works of ministers are all equally under God (1 Cor 3:6)
-A minister’s authority is invalidated by false doctrine because one obeys God not man (Gal 1:8, Acts 5:29, 2 John 1:10)
-This is not Donatism since it has nothing to do with the validity of sacraments. The sacraments comes through God’s Word not the minister’s power
-Unlike Peter, the Roman Papacy is the Antichrist (2 Thes 2:3-4)

This chart shows the different ways to classify and divide the books of Esdras

Apocryphal Texts
(III) I Esdras
(IV) II Esdras pt 1
As these two books conclude the KJV 1611 apocrypha, know this is not the end of my coverage of Apocryphal writings. More will appear in the future.
------------------------------
I Esdras, also known as III Esdras, is closely related to Ezra, Nehemiah, and II Chronicles. It is included in the Greek Septuagint as an addition to the book of Ezra.

One problem with III Esdras is its chronology. In the narrative, the reign of the Persian King Artaxerxes incorrectly precedes those of Cyrus the Great (c. 559—529 BC) and Darius I (Darius the Great, 521—486 BC), although some believe this is simply a literary device called “prolepsis” in which a person or event is assigned to an earlier period or represented as if it had already occurred.
Based off the writing styles, some scholars believe the III Esdras has multiple authors.

It is estimated the original text to have been written between 300.BC and 200.AD.
This is quite the gap. Because it does not show up in the known Dead Sea Scrolls and no ancient Hebrew translation exists, we can assume it was written in Greek during the Hellenistic period in Israel roughly 300.BC but before the Septuagint was written around 200.BC.
------------------------------
II Esdras or IV Esdras, also called The Apocalypse of Ezra, can be split up into 3 sections:
Chapter 1-2 is 5 Ezra
Chapter 3-14 is 4 Ezra
Chapter 15-16 is 6 Ezra
Because this book goes by multiple names with multiple subdivisions, tracking the origins are much harder and unfortunately dates are all over the place concerning the different sections.
All we really know about II Esdras is what is in the book and its general history.
II Esdras was not in the Septuagint nor was it found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
- Compare II Esdras 1:20 with Matthew 23:37, II Esdras 8:3 with Matthew 22:14
- In the Epistle of Barnabas 12:1 it paraphrases II Esdras 5:5 and arguably, Barnabas 4:14 quotes II Esdras 8:3
- Church fathers quoted II Esdras as ‘the prophecy of Ezra’ or ‘the apocalypse of Ezra’ by Clement of Alexandria (died c215.AD) and especially by St. Ambrose of Milan (died 397.AD) quite frequently. Visions of Hermas 1.3 (written between 88 and 97.AD) alludes to II Esdras 7:94.
- 5 Ezra (II Esdras 1-2) was popularly used by early Christians during the 2nd Century AD to promote the idea of the Church being "Gods Chosen" instead of the Jews.
- Jerome, when translating the Vulgate, got the book from a now lost Greek source. This only includes chapter 3-14
- Apostolic Constitutions, written c400.AD references II Esdras at least twice.
- The Ethiopians have chapters 3-14 in their canon.

The way II Esdras is split up may be a little confusing, and its origins even more so, but the doctrines and prophecies within and its comparison to Biblical doctrine is what really count. This will have to be covered in part 2, because there is a lot.
