Roy presents information that allows the reader to retain what is read. For example, the major prophets can be remembered using the term JEDI from the Star Wars movie, J -Jeremiah, E – Ezekiel, D – Daniel, I – Isaiah. Roy reveals some of God’s humor. 1 Kings 11:29-31. Jereboam meets the prophet Ahiah, who demonstrates that Jereboam will rule 10 0f the 12 tribes of Israel by cutting Jereboam’s “new garment” into 12 pieces and giving Jereboam 10. There he stands in his diaper holding 10 rags. Try explaining that to a stranger. The Bible does tell of more serious moments such as 2 Kings 15. During the captivity, All 18 kings of the northern kingdom were bad. The last five kings became kings by murdering their predecessor, We could say the KKK existed i.e, Kings Killing Kings. Some critical information is not obvious. Who is “us” in Genesis 1:26? I And God said let us make man in our image.... Us is the trinity, God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit. They are mentioned in the first chapter of the bible. Roy brings to life the actions of biblical characters is an easy to understand manner that helps to understand scripture. Lets consider the Noah flood. The flood occurred 10 generations after Adam. The average age before the flood was 858 and after the flood it was 317. In order to compare this to today, we divide each side by 10 and get 86 and 32 ie, people died at 32 instead of the normal 86, Why? Solar radiation. We sent wasp larvae into space and proved this theory. The “windows of heaven” were the cooling clouds of a new planet. It had not rained since God created earth Gen 2:5. Water came from two directions, rain and flooding ie, Genesis 7:11. Roy also covers the activities between the Old and New testaments including Persia, Greece, Macabeans and Rome.
