How To Study The Bible
may be compared to a magnificent edifice that took seventeen centuries to build. Its architect and builder is God.
Like this beautiful world, the work of the
Author, it bears on it everywhere the impress of a Divine hand.
This majestic temple contains
66 chambers of unequal size –
66 books of the Old and New Testament.
Each of the 31,173 verses is a stone, a beam, a panel of the building which is a Temple more glorious by far than that of Solomon or of Zerubbabel.
Would you have fellowship with the
Father? You will be sure to find Him within the precincts of His holy house.
