STRUCTURES IN THE BIBLE
Bible Structures are evidence of the Divine Revelation and
Inspiration of the Bible. There were many writers but the same Author, who is
God. There is complementary information and also complementary structures that
were not deliberately preconceived by the writers. Structures are the Symmetrical
Exhibition of God’s Word by repetition of subjects that reappear,
either in Alternation (i.e. A-A-B-B or A-B-C-A-B-C),
or Introversion (i.e. A-B-C-C-B-A or A-B-C-D-C-B-A),
or in multiple combinations of both. This is the Correspondence of words
or expressions, which may be similar or opposite.
Bible Structures have a perfect design. Its
telescopic structure gives us a broad picture of the word of God from Genesis
to Revelation and can be further expanded by dividing and subdividing chapters,
paragraphs, verses, sentences, and even in words. These words can be seen as
part of a wonderful design, giving us a microscopic structure of its richness
in details (and are a clarifying help in translation), and showing us that
while the works of the Lord are great and perfect, the “Word” of the
Lord is the greatest of His works, and is also perfect (Psalm 138.2 and Psalm
19.7). [The Companion Bible, Preface, page x].
