The Bookends of the Bible
Of the many things that make the Bible amazing is the fact that what we see in the beginning is what we see in the end. Furthermore, what we see in the beginning and what we see in the end actually holds the entire “bookshelf” of the Bible together. From the tree of life, to a universal couple, we see that the Bible tells one complete love story of God and man.
The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is at the beginning of the Bible and the end of the Bible. As the source of God’s plan, life is one of the main principles that holds the entire Bible together.
The River of Water of Life
The River of Water of Life is also a main principle that holds the Bible together. We should remain in this flow and fight to get into the flow of life in our daily living.
The Materials
In Genesis 1 there are three materials that eventually become a building in Revelation 21 and 22. As building materials in God’s building, we are in the process of being transformed to express God.
The Couple
The union of Adam and Eve actually is a picture pointing to Christ and the church, the universal couple. As we love the Lord and live in an intimate relationship with Him, we are brought further into this consummation of God’s goal, Christ and the church.
