BIBLE, WHAT is IT?

The BIBLE is basically A RECORD of " THE HEBREWS' ASPIRATION TO UNDERSTAND GOD AND HIS WAYS" both in relation TO THE NATURAL WORLD and TO MANKIND.
The name "HEBREW" (Heb. IVRI) is derived from a root meaning "TO CROSS," and refers to THE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO CANAAN ( THE PROMISED LAND) FROM THE EASTERN SIDE
OF THE EUPHRATES.
MOSES and AARON were KEY FIGURES in a "BATTLE OF THE GODS." The performance of this battle is chronologically arranged in order to symbolize with an enormous accuracy what happen to the faithless ridiculing people belonging to the nations in opposition to GOD.
THE PURPOSE of all the FIRST FIVE BOOKS written by MOSES give us the WHOLE PICTURE of the BATTLE IN THE INVISIBLE WORLD. In the persons of the MAGIC - PRACTICING PRIESTS, PHARAOH SUMMONED THE POWER OF ALL THEIR GODS AGAINST THE POWER OF THE GOD OF THE HEBREWS.
To EZEKIEL was given an awe - inspiring VISION of THE KINGDOM OF GOD, GOD ON HIS
THRONE ATTENDED BY LIVING CREATURES HAVING FOUR FACES AND WINGS,
ACCOMPANIED BY WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS, WHICH MOVED ALONG WITH THE LIVING CREATURES. He was sent as A WATCHMAN to the HEBREWS to warn them about their wicked ways, the warning was necessary so that they would know that GOD have a prophet in the MIDST OF THEM. THIS IS HIS JOB. Even though they would refuse to listen, he has to continue his MISSION IN SPIRIT, IF HE FAILS TO WARN them with THE WORDS that GOD gave him, he would be held responsible for their lives - he would be bloodguilty. -
Through ELIJAH GOD provided A PILLAR OF STRENGTH FOR TRUE WORSHIP when the HEBREW' s spiritual and moral condition had fallen to an alarmingly low state. He is sent by GOD to
announce chastisement upon the HEBREWS for their sins. He was fed by RAVENS. He had a CONTEST with BAAL PROPHETS. He FLEES FROM JEZEBEL. He performed the FIRST recorded RESURRECTION.
During THE TRANSFIGURATION, JESUS, MOSES and ELIJAH talked about CHRIST' s DEPARTURE (a form of the Greek word e'xo.dos) that HE WAS DESTINED TO FULFILL.
This "DEPARTURE" involved both CHRIST' s DEATH and HIS SUBSEQUENT RESURRECTION.
