Answer 1

2. Mankind disobeyed God after being tempted by the Devil and mankind and the creation fell.



3. God knew that all of this would happen and He had a plan from all eternity to save humanity from their sins. He first announced it to Adam and Eve when He said that the "Seed of the woman" - a reference to the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus - would crush the head of the serpent.

a. Satan is defeated and cast into the Lake of Fire.

b. God creates a new Heaven and earth.

Answer 2

In contents this Book of Books reveals the past, explains the present, and foretells the future. These are matters that only He who knows the end from the beginning could author. (Isa 46:10) Starting at the beginning by telling of the creation of heaven and earth, the Bible next gives a sweeping account of the events that prepared the earth for man’s habitation. Then the truly scientific explanation of the origin of man is revealed—how life comes only from a Life-Giver—facts that only the Creator now in the role of Author could explain. (Ge 1:26-28; 2:7) With the account of why men die, the overriding theme that permeates the whole Bible was introduced. This theme, the vindication of Jehovah’s sovereignty and the ultimate fulfillment of his purpose for the earth, by means of his Kingdom under Christ, the promised Seed, was wrapped up in the first prophecy concerning ‘the seed of the woman.’ (Ge 3:15) More than 2,000 years passed before this promise of a “seed” was again mentioned, God telling Abraham: “By means of your seed all nations of the earth will certainly bless themselves.” (Ge 22:18) Over 800 years later, renewed assurance was given to Abraham’s descendant King David, and with the passing of more time Jehovah’s prophets kept this flame of hope burning brightly. (2Sa 7:12, 16; Isa 9:6, 7) More than 1,000 years after David and 4,000 years after the original prophecy in Eden, the Promised Seed himself appeared, Jesus Christ, the legal heir to “the throne of David his father.” (Lu 1:31-33; Ga 3:16) Bruised in death by the earthly seed of the “serpent,” this “Son of the Most High” provided the ransom purchase price for the life rights lost to Adam’s offspring, thus providing the only means whereby mankind can get everlasting life. He was then raised on high, there to await the appointed time to hurl “the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan,” down to the earth, finally to be destroyed forever. Thus the magnificent theme announced in Genesis and developed and enlarged upon throughout the balance of the Bible is, in the closing chapters of Revelation, brought to a glorious climax as Jehovah’s grand purpose by means of his Kingdom is made apparent.—Re 11:15; 12:1-12, 17; 19:11-16; 20:1-3, 7-10; 21:1-5; 22:3-5.

Answer 3

It is a collection of different books that includes history books, poetry, a collection of 150 songs, wise sayings, political commentaries and visions of the future. The Old Testament covers the history of the Jewish people from about 1900 BC to around 500 BC. The New Testament covers the life of Jesus and the history of the first 30 years of his followers (From about 4BC to 62 AD). It also includes a series of instruction letters to the first Christians, some books of theology and a vision of the future.



Through the different books, the common theme is the nature of God, the nature of man, and how the two are suppose to relate to each other. It chronicles a series of covenants that God made with man throughout the ages, with the most important one being his covenant with the Jews.



It tells about their origin in the man Abraham, there time living in Egypt, the deliverance and the giving of the law through Moses, their establishing of a kingdom in Israel, their time of exile in Babylon, and their return to Israel. Through all the books runs the theme of a coming savior/messiah who would be God himself in the flesh.



The New Testament tells of the conception, birth, childhood and ministry of Jesus the Christ (a word that means Messiah). And about his crucifixion, death and resurrection as a payment for the sins of mankind. It covers the begins of the Christian faith and its early leaders, Peter, James (the brother of Jesus) and Paul. It also includes letters written by those three, plus John (another of the 12 disciples) and Jude (another brother of Jesus). It closes with a book of prophesy that looks ahead to the end of the world and the return of Jesus to earth.
