The Patterns of the Scripture

About the Book

God does not act randomly or at whim. His moves may be mysterious to us, but he has left clues for diligent students to follow—and these clues, embedded throughout Scripture, will lead us out of deception and toward understanding the true identity of the one God has chosen to save humankind. In The Patterns of the Scripture: Unlocking the Chronological and Genealogical Coding of the Scriptures, author Hedley Palmer discusses in depth the patterns inherent in the Old and New Testaments, how they lead to proving the authenticity of the Bible, and the history of deception in regard to these truths. Casual readers will find Palmer’s well-explored and documented insights very rewarding, and serious students of Scripture will find Palmer’s work of great interest. Writing in the methodical and logical spirit of the Creator, Palmer approaches biblical passages with the view that events are neither arbitrary nor haphazard and are necessarily part of a larger structure. Resolving genealogical and chronological issues and perplexing incongruities in the Bible then merely becomes an exercise in applying this pattern. Through study of the patterns in the Old and New Testaments, we realize that Scripture has had its narratives dictated by the formation of these patterns. The Creator does things in his own inimitable and logical manner, and perceiving his direct hand in compiling the Scriptures leads us to greater understanding of his word and will.
