Have you ever wondered how humanity has come to its current condition and what lies ahead in the coming years? This book looks to Scripture as it considers those two big questions, presenting what God intends for the world in the process. The author observes that since the beginning of time, humanity has attempted to eradicate any knowledge of God and His plans for humanity. People have continued in the pursuits that Eve began in the Garden of Eden - to the point of building their own temples and churches and following the dictates of their own hearts instead of the word of God. Because of God's never ending concern for humanity, He inspired a select number of men to document various histories of the Israelites in the Old Testament. God intervened in such a way that when they were recorded, they would paint a mosaic of His intentions toward humanity. The Bible, in fact, is an encrypted message from God to us. Even if the writers did not fully understand what they were conveying, God's plan becomes clear in A Compendium to the Bible.
