In
the Bible God has made known:
1)
what the world is; where it came from; why it exists;
what it is heading for; how it will end;
2)
what man is; where he comes from; where he is going;
what he is made of; what his purpose is how he will end;
3)
what animals and plants are; what their purpose is;
what they are used for;
4)
what good is; where it comes from; what it leads to;
what its purpose is; how it is attained;
5)
what evil is; where it comes from; how it came to
exist; why it exists — how it will come to an end;
6)
what the righteous are and what sinners are; how a
sinner becomes righteous and how an arrogant righteous man becomes a sinner;
how a man serves God and how he serves satan; the whole path from good to evil,
from God to satan;
7)
everything — from the beginning to the end; man’s
entire path from the body to God, from his conception in the womb to his
resurrection from the dead;
8)
what the history of the world is, the history of
heaven and earth, the history of mankind; what their path, purpose, and end
are.
