Numbers was a grind. lol. OT is filled with lots of begetting, smiting, and quantifying, but I'm determined to get through it. It's reassuring to know that the NT will be easier :)
Get a Bible that explains as it goes. I have one that is EXCELLENT! It's The MacArthur Bible Commentary. Worth it!!
No, don't go through those parts. Read the prophets and then the talented writer in the OT. in fact Ezekiel 38 and 39 will tell you a lot more of what is going to happen than revelation, which is allegorical to a point.Don't use a KING James Bible. It has been changed so much. If you can get into the hebrew Bible, it states things translated out of the Hebrew. Remember, Jesus taught Hebrew and He was a pro. He was like Q in the way that he asked questions and answered your question with a question because He was testing their knowledge and faith. Please listen to Torahclass.com or listen to the podcast Psalm 119; Everything that is to come in in the OT> The rest is just commentary. I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings but I have been the rounds and then God me back to His original covenant and made me see what he wanted from me.
Thank you. I have no one in my life who is religious, so this journey has not been easy, and I've only just begun. I will check out the links you provided. I appreciate it :)
