The amazing diversity in the Bible’s creation

Written over a period of 1500 years The Law (1400 BC) The book of Proverbs (970 BC) The prophecy of Isaiah (750 BC) The book of Jeremiah (600 BC) The book of Malachi (400 BC) The gospels (30-70 AD)

Yet in spite of its diversity, the Bible presents a single unfolding story! God’s redemption of man.

This theme is developed patiently and methodically! Man’s need for redemption Man’s inability to redeem himself God plan to send a redeemer The coming of the Redeemer The establishment of the redeemed family, the church The completion of redemption

Comparing Genesis and Revelation In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. (Revelation 21:1)

therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. (Genesis 3:23) And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them, (Revelation 21:3)

Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. (Genesis 3:17) And there shall no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His bond-servants shall serve Him; (Revelation 22:3)

So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis 3:24) And on either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:2)

To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, In pain you shall bring forth children; (Genesis 3:16) and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

In spite of its diversity, the Bible centers upon one central figure— Jesus Christ. The Law establish the foundation for Christ. The Historical books provide the preparation for Christ. The Poetic books present an aspiration for Christ. The Prophetic books make known the expectation of Christ.

The Gospels present a historical manifestation of Christ. The Acts records the propagation of Christ. The Epistles provide the edification of Christ. The Revelation reveals the consummation in Christ.

How is it that every part of the Bible, in spite of its great diversity, can contribute to its overarching theme of redemption and its central figure, the Christ?

The unity of the Bible points to God as its overruling “composer” of the “symphony” of redemption! for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. (2 Peter 1:21)
