From the Genesis of the bibleWe find the Exodus of
The Jews making sacrifices in Leviticus
Which they made in Numbers
Deuteronomy got them wandering
Till Joshua led them to the promise land
They had laws requiring Judges and females like Ruth
The duplication of Samuel reechoes the laws
They asked for more than one human Kings
Two Chronicles made clear their linage
Yet they lost their identity till Ezra
Along with Nehemiah restore their dignity
The wisdom of Esther boost their identity
Job figured the burden they bear in the flesh
How could they have coped without the Psalms
And Proverbs of wise sayings
They perceive life as vanity in Ecclesiastes. Even so,
Love is expressed adorably in The Songs of Solomon
In the face of raging adversities prophets like
Isaiah and Jeremiah comforted them in
Their lamentations. Still Ezekiel and Daniel
Reminded the consequences of their fallen state
Hosea bore their guilt, Joel prophesied the Lords day
Amos did not stop telling the Lords judgement
Visions of condemnation did not leave Obadiah
Jonah thought he could run from his duty
Micah pronouncement against the nations made clear
Nahum speaking of God’s vengeance
However, Habakkuk was running out of patience
Zephaniah yet encouraged them to seek God
With Haggai they had to rebuild the temple
Zechariah told them why they should return to God
Yet Malachi saw the Jews were not forthright.
Matthew brought in a new era
Mark like other 3 synoptic gospel writers
Wrote of the one man making the change
Luke and John agree with the first 2 synoptic gospels
The Acts of the apostles pave way for followers
Many of the followers like the Romans needed
Adjustments. A leading example of the followers wrote
Twice to the Corinthians as well as to the Galatians.
The Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians also got his writings
Not stopping there, twice he wrote the Thessalonians
Above all he showed personal interest in the young follower, Timothy
When he wrote him twice. Titus appointed followers that will lead.
Philemon received a letter of appeal from prison bond
To the Hebrews, the foremost leader role was made clear
The letter of James advices on faith but Peter twice impress the
Value of doing the will of God. John three times wrote faith
Conquers the world. Jude went back to what Genesis started.
The Jewish life history picture all human creation
Set for the judgement and blessings recorded in Revelation.
