 The BIBLE
The BIBLE records divine purpose, power and
principles which are revealed for all humanity as:
Precepts in the Books of the Law;
Preaching, Parable and Person of Christ in the
Gospels;
Practice in the historical books and the Acts;
Philosophy in Job and Ecclesiastes;
Poetry and Prayers in the Psalms;
Prudence in the Proverbs;
Prophecy in the books of the Prophets and
Revelation;
Pedagogy in the Gospels and the Epistles.
 The BIBLE
is the sure record of the
revelation of Gods historical
and eternal purpose for
humanity in creation.

This Divine Counsel is revealed

to unfold in Four Stages...
STAGE 1: God created the earth for human
spiritual communion and temporal
dominion after 6 days of creation.
Pre O.T.: God created and called Adam on the 6th
day, for Eden Ready Paradise heritage with
warning against sin,
provisions for retribution and
promise of restoration.
Ultimate Retribution, Redemption and
Restoration came through the Flood and the
Ark.
STAGE 2: God called Abram to reveal the
Promised Land heritage after 400 years of
Egyptian sojourning.
O.T.: God raised Moses after 400 years in Egypt
to lead Israel to the Promised Unready Land
heritage with
warning against sin,
provision for retribution and
promise of restoration.
Ultimate Retribution, Redemption and
Restoration came through the Exile and the
Return.
 STAGE 3: God called Prophets to reveal the
coming of Eternal Messianic Salvation after
400 years of inter-testamental period.
N.T.: God sent His heavenly Messiah/Christ after
400 years to save (into spiritual communion
and temporal dominion) all who believe in His
Name and bring the Church to Heavenly
Perfect Paradise heritage with
warning against sin,
provisions for retribution and
promise of restoration.
Ultimate Retribution, Redemption and Restoration
will come through the Tribulation and the
Resurrection.
STAGE 4: God to end Temporal History and
replace it with Timeless Eternity after the
Millennial Reign and Final Judgment
Post N.T.: The End of All Things will
be sure eternal reward for all
humanity either
in eternal doom with Satan or
in eternal bliss with the Christ.
