Harmony

"Thy word is truth".


Take a look at this:



This is the work of Chris Hammond and Chris Romhild, and it shows shows something quite remarkable.

It shows the 63,779 cross-references on a vast number of subjects to be found in the Bible.
Written over some 1200 years by over 40 authors, the Scriptures are comprised of some 1,189 chapters, yet there is an extraordinary level of agreement and unity in these books on an amazing number of issues.

The astonishing aspect of this is truly compounded when you begin to explore how such harmonies run across the entire length of the times involved in producing the scriptures themselves, so there are themes and issues raised in the early chapters of Genesis that are concluded in the final chapters of Revelation.

Whilst sceptics are quick to point variations in some names of locations, dates and numbers in some places (which are often quickly resolved when underlying exegesis is carried out) this helps to show just how unique the scriptures are.

It's essential we understand what the scripture is seeking to say.
