Benefits Of A Chronological Bible

By Tracie Knight


Various reactions have been evidenced from the various versions of the Chronological Bible that are in circulation today. Most people think that some of these versions do not reflect the order of events as they really occurred. Instead, they haphazardly put stories none after the other leading to possible confusion readers.

There is also another group of people who are of the view that the Jewish Scripture written in Hebrew is the only piece of writing that carries the true accounts as they are supposed to be. These ardent followers of Judaism religion do not believe about any other Messiah apart from Abraham their patriarch. The New Testament writings are therefore not followed by these people.

Salvation, according to Christians, is a gift from God through His son, Jesus Christ. The circumstances that necessitated His birth have however remained a mystery to most people. Connecting the Old Testament prophesies and their fulfillment in the New Testament is quite a task too to most people. Failure to correctly interpret the accounts of chapters one and two of Luke has caused serious misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians on the identity of the Christ.

To escape falling victim to such misguided and baseless teaching of confusion, it is advisable for you to carry out frequent personal study. Going to church on worship day only is not enough. It is good to attend worship services and listen to how the scripture is interpreted. However, you should also go ahead and conduct personal study from which you can get a lot of information. For example, it is one thing to know that in John 11:35 The Lord wept and another to discover the cause of His anguish in this particular setting.

Such a study might be made possible in various ways. The common goal, though, is finishing all the Biblical books in record time with considerable understanding. A plan for this kind of reading can be found in the back pages depending on the version you are reading. Book shops can also come handy since they have many options to choose from; for instance, you might choose to go topical.

You can also find Bibles that are ordered according to sequence of occurrence of events based on Theological research. They give a wealth of information and new revelations about issues that might have seemed complex or hard to understand. A good example is the Pauline epistles. Theologians argue that their order in the famous versions is distorted and thus they become hard to follow.

A chronological arrangement of the scripture does not only consider the order in which books occur but also scriptural arrangement. This is expertly done so that the whole Bible forms a complete sequential story. From Genesis through to revelation, one can describe for instance the story about the Israelites; prophesies about Jesus Christ, his birth, life and resurrection.

Such a study will bring you to the realization that Jesus is actually the epicenter of this Holy book. During creation, He was present with the father. He was also present during the burial of Moses. He eventually fulfilled the law, prophesies and the New Covenant that had been foretold by prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah. His death symbolized defeat of sin and His resurrection brings hope to believers.
