The existence of the Bible in more than one version and language has raised eyebrows in many ways. The sequential arrangement of occurrences in the Chronological Bible has been the subject of discussion for quite some time now. The nature of arrangement in most of these varieties fall short of recently established criteria.
There is also another group of people who are of the view that the Jewish Scripture written in Hebrew is the only piece of writing that carries the true accounts as they are supposed to be. These ardent followers of Judaism religion do not believe about any other Messiah apart from Abraham their patriarch. The New Testament writings are therefore not followed by these people.
Those who are followers of Jesus Christ know very well that He is the son of God who came to save us from sin. It is however quite unfortunate that a good majority do not mind to follow the genealogy of his birth recorded in the first chapters of St. Luke. Our Muslim brothers can thus easily confuse them that Maria mother of Isa is Mary mother of Jesus.
The only way to avoid being swayed by false teachings is to read first hand information and discover what the Holy Book really teaches. It is not enough to go to church every Sunday or Saturday and hear a couple of verses being expounded. Instead, when you are back home, take your Bible and read chapter by chapter. For instance, if you hear in church that John 11:35 says Jesus wept, if you go through the whole chapter on your own later you will know why He wept and what you should do about it.
There are several methods of conducting chronological Biblical reading. One is by using a Reading Plan. Some Bibles have such plans and guides at the back to assist the reader. Using such guides, you will be in a position to complete all the scriptures in a given period such as one year or six months. Another option is to visit Christian bookshop where periodical study materials are stocked.
In modern versions, getting the sequence is possible by following the footnotes and study notes that come with the packages. This possibility has come about thanks to theological researchers who have spent sleepless nights and hours of study. As a result, it has become possible to understand concepts that appeared complicated before. Understanding thus becomes easy.
The books being sequentially arranged is not the only aspect here. Even the verses in every chapter have been studied and reorganized. A complete story of human redemption from Satan can thus be derived from this arrangement. Genesis and Revelation thus come to agreement following a smooth continuum. The hustle of struggling to find the correlation between verses is therefore avoided.
Such a study will bring you to the realization that Jesus is actually the epicenter of this Holy book. During creation, He was present with the father. He was also present during the burial of Moses. He eventually fulfilled the law, prophesies and the New Covenant that had been foretold by prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah. His death symbolized defeat of sin and His resurrection brings hope to believers.
