Bible Question:
how many books in bible? what is the bible? how can such an ancient book as the bible be called a contemporary book? |
Bible Answer: There are 66 books in the Bible. 66 in biblical numerics is Idol Worship. This excludes the Apocrypha which is not canonised, which does not mean that it doesn't have anything meanful to say. Because Revelations and the book of Enoch were debated about which would be canonised. The book of Revelations won and the book of Enoch was left out. The book of Enoch was in the Bible for 5 centuries. Later it disappeared. Book of Enoch (page 3). My favorite book of the Apocrypha is 2 Esdras which gives much insight for the fourth beast of Daniel and Revelations. And holds many secrets which were told to be hidden for those in the last days. The Massorah also backs up that 2 Esdras has many revelations.In the Strongs Concordance the word Revelation or Revelations is the same in the Greek,#602, (Apokalupsis), meaning disclosure, appearing, coming, lighten, manifestation, be revealed, revelation. Coming from #601, (Apokalupto), meaning to take off the cover, disclose, reveal. Why isn't the book of Revelations taught when it means to reveal, take off the cover. Who is the first to be judged? The answer is within the answer. As all things to be revealed, Mark 4:22, For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come abroad, V23, If any man have ears to hear, let them hear. Also in Luke 8:17For nothing is secret, that shall not be manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. V18, Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Rev 1:8, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,' sayeth the Lord, 'Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, the Almighty. The 1st book to the 66th book, which is one chapter of man to see or not to see, can you see Gen.13:14, And the Lord said to Abram, after that, Lot was separated from him, 'Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: This is for a sign, do you SEE?? This is but a secret, can you read the NEWS? PRAISEMASTER |
