Translating the titles of the books of the Bible, in order, yields a simple message conducive with the content of the Bible. The result, besides further confirmation of the book order, is a summarizing of the Bible's overall message.
We had finished working out the order of the books. A few weeks later we were visiting friends at our monthly fellowship. They had apparently been looking at how genealogies in Scripture often form sentences when the names in the genealogy are translated. Though I already knew this, several friends came up to me and privately explained how this works. After the 3rd time I decided something was up, and that I needed to apply the same strategy on the names of the Bible's books.
There are places in the Bible where genealogical lists of names form sentences. This is a strange literary style since modern English readers rarely assign meaning to proper names. But, in the Bible, all names have meaning, which allows for these odd literary devices. Of course the 66 books of the Bible also have names. Does this list of words with rich meaning form a story? Yes.
