The following was reproduced from a post by Amir Tsarfati.
The Bible was written on three continents:
- Asia
- Africa
- Europe
In three languages:
- Hebrew
- Aramaic
- Greek
By more than 40 different men:
- Shepherds
- Kings
- Prophets
- Fishermen
- A tax collector
- A doctor
- A tentmaker
It was written in:
- In palaces and prisons
- In deserts and cities
- In freedom and in exile
- Across roughly 1,500 years
It consists of 66 books but is one continuous story about:
- Creation
- Fall
- Redemption
- Yeshua
Most of these writers never met:
- No committee planned it
- No human editor stitched it together
Now consider this:
There are tens of thousands of cross-references throughout the Bible. Each connects one passage of scripture to another – sometimes written hundreds of years apart.
- Genesis connects to the Prophets
- The Prophets connect to the Gospels
- The Gospels connect to the Epistles
- And it all comes together in Revelation
The Bible opens with the Tree of Life in Genesis and closes with the Tree of Life in Revelation.
The Bible has:
- Different writers
- Different centuries
- Different cultures
Yet one voice because behind the human hands was the divine Author.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…”
2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)
Men held the pens but God wrote the story.
