Ark of the Covenant -- Lost or Hidden Away

The Bible

The Bible was first written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
It has come into our modern languages through translation. So important
is its message that the Bible (or parts of it) has been translated
into 2,000 languages. Over 80% of the world's people speak these
languages. No book has been - and continues to be - translated more
widely than the Bible.


The Bible was written by 40 men during a period of 1600 years. Since
most of these writers were not alive at the same time, they could
not work together in any direct way. Yet the Bible has one continu-
ing story flowing through it. It forms a complete, united picture.
No other book has been written like this. In the most amazing way,
it joins centuries of history with the highest wisdom.


It is not surprising then that well over a quarter of the world's
population claims some belief in the Bible. Three great world
religions claim roots linked with the Bible


The Writers of the Bible Claimed to Speak from God

In seeking a Map for life, we should open the Bible because of the
claims it makes. Again and again it assures us that it is the pure
word of God. Look at these examples from the pages of the Bible:

Moses

Moses said the Ten Commandments were written "by the finger of
God" on stone tablets (Exodus 31:18). He reported the God spoke
with him "face to face, as a man speaks with his friend" (Exodus
33:11).
