The Structures Discernible Within Scripture

[Complete]

'And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea:
who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.'
(Act 17:10-11)

Hello there,

I have been looking at the book of Ephesians, in my Bible, which is KJV, but entitled, 'The Companion Bible', and compiled largely by Dr. E.W. Bullinger. It has marginal notes and appendices which I find useful, but as with all of these things, care must be taken to check all things, like the Bereans of old (Acts 17:11).

What I particularly like are the structures of the books within it's pages, all of them have their structures displayed, so that you can see at a glance the subject matter laid out for comparison. At the back, in the appendix, No. 198 there is a structure of Scripture in it's entirety. This is the link to it, should you be interested:- https://levendwater.org/companion/append198.html

There comes to my mind a booklet, which is an introduction to the Structures of Scripture by a man named, Andrew H. Morton. It is entitled, 'The Scriptures Testify of Me'. Here is the link should you wish to follow it up. I can recommend it:-

* If anyone has anything to comment about the structures to be found forming naturally, by subject matter etc., I would like to hear what you have to say.

Within the love of Christ our Saviour,
our Lord and Head,
Now risen and glorified,
And sat at God's right had.

Hello Chris,

The Companion Bible is the greatest study Bible on the planet, nothing compares to it! With the Massorah, the Structures, the appendixes and so much more and how Blessed are you to have one for yourself and to be searching the Scriptures and learning the lessons within it. While it is the text of the KJV, the text is arranged according to the subject structures in the side notes appearing on most pages of each chapter and at the beginning of each book as a whole.

From YHVH, through the Ancient Hebrews, through Abravanel, through Azariah de Rossi, through Robert Lowth, through John Jebb, through Thomas Boys, through E.W. Bullinger and others are we gifted to see and share the greatest proof of the One Author of Scriptures!

You're familiar with these names if you spent time in Bullinger's Figures of Speech used in the Bible and looked up Parallelism and Correspondence. Another great resource for understanding and learning the structures is in Bullinger's How to Enjoy the Bible. All of these are online and free to read and study.

It was given by God to Thomas Boys to help Parallelism mature into Correspondence and covering subjects and subject matter, to which God then gave to Bullinger and really opened up the study and subject culminating in the Companion Bible. Bullinger passed before it was complete but he was working on some amazing things!

Like the Correspondence of the Hebrew Bible showing in Appendix 1, here's a link to it, Appendix One - Hebrew Canon Structure

Have you ever considered the order of the Hebrew Bible aka Tanakh as Bullinger represents it in Appendix One and compared it to our English OT Bible order?

Blessings,
Love Fountain
