The Bible is the most up-to-date book
you can read today.
In the pages of this "Book that
nobody knows" are revealed the
causes of all of today's ills- the
social prob lems, the economic
problems and even the threat of
nuclear annihilation hanging over
manki nd today.
The Bible shows where wor ld
events are Jeading, and what the
final outcome will be.
T he Bible is God's revelation to
man of basic knowledge- knowledge
of Jaws and principies that man is
unable to discover for himself–
knowledge that is otherwise utterly
inaccessible to the mind of man.
For example: The law of gravity is
not d irect ly revealed in the Bible.
God equipped man with the powers
and abilities to discover gravity for
himself.
But man has never been able to dis–
cover with assurance what he is and
why he was put here on earth–
whether there is a real
PURPOSE
for
human life, or what that purpose is.
Man has not been able to discover the
true way to peace, happiness, abun–
dant well-being and real success. T his
world's colleges and universities can
teach students how to earn a living–
but they invariably fail to teach them
how to live!
Maybe you have never thought ofit
in this way befare. But the Bible is
God's " ins truction manual" to show
His supreme material creation how to
live. Only in the Bible can one find
this necessary basic knowledge. God
inspired the Bible to be the very basis
of true educat ion.
The Bible, then, is the
FOUNDA–
T ION
of knowledge.
It
gives the true
approach to the acquisition of knowl–
edge in the fiel ds of history, educa–
tion, psychology, sociology and the
health sciences.
It
reveals basic prin–
cipies concerning business, com–
merce, science, the arts, law, govern–
ment, phi losophy and religion.
T he Bi ble also expl a ins th e
meaning of the chaot ic times in
which we live. And it shows us how
peace, prosperi ty, success and hap–
piness are coming to all the world
in our lifetime!
Yet, ironically, this "Book of all
books" is one of the Jeast known, Jeast
understood of all books. Why?
8
Simply because whe n most
people try to read the Bible, they
can't understand it. Consequently,
they assume it is out of date and
irrelevan t in our modern age.
People could begin to understand
the
Bi bl~if
they were really wi ll–
ing to Jet it teach them and if they
accept it for what it says. The Bible
is plai n and simple.
It
means exact–
ly what it says.
If
we take it as it
is- letting it interprct
itself-it
makes real sense.
