Wasted their lives. Misinformed about the most fundamental things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also never knew where to start. And I am still not sure I want to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its difficult to know how many christians came to know the holy spirt from reading the book. Most apparently don&#8217;t. Up till now. There is no specific procedure on knowing the spirit. Just wishin and Hopin in a prayer closet means God has made himself  deliberately scarce for a reason like letting enemies nearly take over the world, to put the faithful in a corner to render them introspective where God is waiting for them internally. It literally happened to my Mother at 92 she was tormented into despair by world events. And finally an internal voice spoke to her with reassurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was never allowed to become Lay Gnostic. I have often wondered why. Different story line is her life, I muse. Her torment in old age is still increasing with her new  Fibre Optic phone hacked producing random malicious calls on the day she makes a hospital visit. And her email log-in mechanism via Fibre Optic has been broken for 6 weeks. She lifts off the phone for tech support,  expecting the new Fibre Optic dial tone and she gets insulting frightening voices directed at her and slams it down in disarray. What&#8217;s an old lady supposed to do ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any way this video is a wonderful quick summary of the bible and for look up, printout purposes I enclose below the transcript<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bible is a huge book. Actually, it&#8217;s 66 books, but why are there so many? Do we really need all of them?<br>Here&#8217;s what each of the books contributes to the text.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#12f681\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Genesis<\/mark> <\/strong>is about the beginnings of stuff, and to say that God made everything.<br>God made the world, and everything in the world. God&#8217;s most important creation is humans.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#19f1e2\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Genesis<\/mark><\/strong> also talks about the beginnings of sin, but sin is not from God, because sin is not a thing that exists.<br>Sin is just a corruption of stuff. And humans get corrupted with sin, so as humans multiply, so does sin.<br>but God still has a plan to redeem the world.<br>Genesis talks about the beginnings of God&#8217;s covenant people, the people God&#8217;s gonna work through to bless the whole world.<br>God chooses Abraham to be the father of his covenant people, which he calls Israel.<br>So<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#12e681\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> <strong>Exodus <\/strong><\/mark>is about the salvation of God&#8217;s people.<br>God&#8217;s people are slaves in Egypt,<br>but God uses Moses to deliver them into the promised land, and this foreshadows how Jesus saves his people from slavery to sin and<br>brings them into the kingdom of God.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1bd998\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Leviticus<\/mark><\/strong> is about the sanctification, or the making more holy, of God&#8217;s people.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#2ee2f0\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Leviticus<\/mark><\/strong> is a big elaborate system of rituals and ceremonies, but the purpose of all this is so God&#8217;s people can be holy just like he is holy.<br>God wants his people to be set apart as a light to the rest of the world.<br>Now<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#20e5af\" class=\"has-inline-color\">, Numbers<\/mark><\/strong> is about God&#8217;s people wandering in the desert.<br>You see, right after they were saved, they didn&#8217;t immediately go into the promised land.<br>Instead, they wandered in the desert for 40 years.<br>And along the way there was a lot of setbacks, challenges, and punishments.<br>But<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#25e39c\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> Deuteronomy<\/mark><\/strong> is a covenant that God makes with his people right before they enter the promised land.<br>God promises blessings if they&#8217;re faithful to the covenant, and curses if they&#8217;re not.<br>And Moses gives them this covenant, but unfortunately he dies before he&#8217;s able to enter the promised<br>land.<br>These first five books are called the <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#34e0b7\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Torah,<\/mark><\/strong> or the <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#20df98\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Pentateuch<\/mark><\/strong>, because they&#8217;re the books of Moses.<br>But something interesting to notice is that the themes of these books parallel the life of a believer.<br>First, we&#8217;re created, then at some point in our life we&#8217;re saved, and then God sanctifies us.<br>It&#8217;s always Exodus before Leviticus. It&#8217;s always salvation before sanctification.<br>God always redeems his people before he asks anything of them.<br>But sanctification isn&#8217;t an upward process, and there&#8217;s always a lot of spiritual wandering and struggle.<br>And the vast majority of believers will die before they enter the Promised Land, but what matters in the end is whether they were faithful to God&#8217;s covenant.<br>So in the Book of Joshua, God&#8217;s people are right outside the Promised Land, but the land is currently inhabited by a lot of evil nations.<br>So they&#8217;re gonna need to fight to take it over, but they have faith in God<br>So God strengthens them so that they can conquer for God&#8217;s kingdom<br>The book of <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#16f097\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Judges<\/mark><\/strong> goes over a pattern that goes something like this<br>God&#8217;s people prosper and do very well, but then they forget about God<br>So then they suffer and then they turn back to God so they prosper again<br>And every time they turn back to God, it&#8217;s because of a judge that God appointed the book of<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#28dbf0\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> Ruth <\/mark><\/strong>is set during this time<br>It&#8217;s about <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#12e1da\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Ruth <\/mark><\/strong>now she is not an Israelite, but she still migrates over to the promised land and joins God&#8217;s covenant<br>And she&#8217;s not an ordinary nobody either. She&#8217;s the great-grandmother of <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#22eac1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">King David,<\/mark><\/strong> who is the<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#12ebcd\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> ancestor of Jesus himself.<\/mark><\/strong><br>So this shows that God often works through people who others consider to be insignificant.<br>And this sort of applies to<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1edfa4\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> David,<\/mark><\/strong> who the next book is about.<br>First <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#19e9e9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Samuel<\/mark><\/strong> is all about David, who starts out as just a normal shepherd boy, but after he defeats the giant warrior Goliath,<br>everyone sees David as more of a hero than the current king, King Saul, and this gets Saul really jealous.<br>But honestly, can you blame him if people are saying things like this?<br>Yeah, but anyway, 1st <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0beec8\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Samuel is all about King David&#8217;s rise to power<\/mark><\/strong> because he&#8217;s eventually gonna become king.<br><strong>2nd Samuel <\/strong>is all about David&#8217;s kingdom. It starts off really well, and it&#8217;s expanding.<br>But David is told that he&#8217;s gonna have a descendant who&#8217;s gonna be a new and better version of him, whose kingdom is gonna cover the entire world. And the reason this is necessary is because David isn&#8217;t perfect.<br>He eventually sins, and because of that, everything goes downhill for him. <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1eeab9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">1st Kings<\/mark><\/strong> is about David&#8217;s son<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#17e7d9\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> Solomon.<\/mark><\/strong><br>He does a lot to glorify God, like building a huge, beautiful temple, and dispensing a lot of wisdom for the people.<br>For example, when two women are fighting over a baby,<br>Solomon figures out which woman the baby really belongs to by offering to cut the baby in half.<br>Bu<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ae1db\" class=\"has-inline-color\">t Solomon isn&#8217;t perfect either,<\/mark><\/strong> because he eventually becomes a total playboy, and then things go downhill for him as well.<br>And so<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ee5a8\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> Second Kings <\/mark><\/strong>is all about the downward spiral of the kings who came after Solomon.<br>The kingdom split into two, and both kingdoms had many evil kings who turned to false gods.<br>And both kingdoms ended up being destroyed by other nations eventually.<br>But during this time, God raised up <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#17f8b3\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Elijah,<\/mark><\/strong> who called the people to repent and worship God alone.<br>And although nobody listened to him at the time, later everyone saw Elijah as very important.<br>So<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#21f1f8\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> First Chronicles <\/mark><\/strong>covers a lot of the same events as First Samuel and Second Samuel,<br>but while those books are more like personal biographies of David,<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#20e6d9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">First Chronicles<\/mark><\/strong> is more like a history textbook about the kingdom as a whole, and it talks about the rise of the kingdom.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1edde4\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Second Chronicles <\/mark><\/strong>is similar, except it talks about the fall of the kingdom, going to the Babylonian exile.<br>It focuses less on the personal sins of the kings and more about the collective sins of the kingdom.<br>But something to keep in mind is even though everything was falling apart over time, there were a lot of reforms along the way.<br>You see, even when God&#8217;s temple was literally being used as a place of demon worship, God&#8217;s people didn&#8217;t give up on it, and many prophets still tried to reform the temple.<br>This book really ends on a downer, but it sets us up for the hidden gem that is <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1eebf2\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Ezra.<\/mark><\/strong><br>The theme of this book is honestly <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1cf1cd\" class=\"has-inline-color\">nostalgia.<\/mark><\/strong><br>You see, the Israelites used to have a big, beautiful, glorious temple,<br>but it got destroyed and they were sent into exile.<br>They were eventually able to return and rebuild the temple,<br>but when they did, it just wasn&#8217;t as good as it used to be.<br>It didn&#8217;t have God&#8217;s presence like before, and they were not able to recreate their old experiences, which is something that everyone can relate to.<br>The book of <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#14e791\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Nehemiah<\/mark><\/strong> is about the same thing.<br>For a brief period of time it looked like the good times were about to come back, but Nehemiah got disappointed when he realized that the new generation didn&#8217;t care about being holy.<br>And this shows that we&#8217;re not able to recreate what was lost,<br>which is why we need hope that all good things will one day be restored.<br>The book of <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#24f0cd\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Esther <\/mark><\/strong>is a really interesting story about<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#14f3dd\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> a plot to kill all of God&#8217;s people<\/mark><\/strong>, but through a bunch of crazy coincidences, like Esther becoming the queen, she was able to rescue her people.<br>Now, the thing about this book is it&#8217;s the one book that doesn&#8217;t mention God by name.<br>But through these coincidences, we can see that God is the one orchestrating this entire story.<br>Fun fact, the Jewish people still celebrate this story to this day by eating triangles.<br>Wondering why evil exists?<br>The <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1eebb3\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Book of Job<\/mark><\/strong> has an answer, or at least a partial answer.<br>You see, if we only received good things from God, then we would only love God for the good things that we receive.<br>So God allows evil things, but if we love God through those evil things, God&#8217;s gonna turn them around for redemption, and God also says there&#8217;s a lot of cosmic stuff behind the scenes that we don&#8217;t understand.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ee4a0\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Psalms <\/mark><\/strong>is the music of the Bible, containing a psalm for just about every human emotion.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#20e975\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Proverbs<\/mark><\/strong> is a collection of wise sayings.<br>And the book of<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#18ec8e\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> Ecclesiastes <\/mark><\/strong>is one big existential crisis, about a man who gains everything in life but learns that it&#8217;s all meaningless in the end.<br>It&#8217;s a very depressing book, but it shows the depressing reality of a life lived without God.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#29dcbd\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Song of Solomon<\/mark><\/strong> is a big book about how awesome love and sex are.<br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#15f6a1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Isaiah<\/mark><\/strong> is a microcosm of the whole Bible.<br>It&#8217;s generally divided into chapters 1 to 39 and then chapters 40 to 66,<br>just like the Bible is divided into the first 39 books and then books 40 to 66.<br>I know that the chapters and verses were added later,<br>but there&#8217;s still an interesting pattern.<br>Because the first 39 chapters are about judgment and the rest are about hope, just like the Old Testament is associated with the law and the New Testament with the gospel.<br>And there&#8217;s a lot of other interesting patterns, so make of it what you will.<br>But either way, <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#17f2cd\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Isaiah has the most explicit prophecies of Jesus <\/mark><\/strong>in the entire Old Testament.<br>The book of<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#16eda4\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> Jeremiah<\/mark><\/strong> prophesies the destruction of all false religion.<br>You see, it doesn&#8217;t matter how many religious rituals you do.
