Hill notes that while heaven in Matthew is often used as a periphrasis for God's name it is quite clearly not so used in this verse. [4] At the time of Christ oaths were a much debated issue in the Jewish community. One view, expressed in M.

"The KJV As New Revelation" – This group claims that the KJV is a "new revelation" or "advanced revelation" from God, and it should be the standard from which all other translations originate.
