The Bible is like a magnificent palace constructed of precious stones, comprising sixty-six stately chambers. Each one of these chambers is different from the other and is perfect in its individual beauty. Together they form an edifice incomparably majestic, glorious and sublime.
In the book of Genesis we enter the grand vestibule where we are immediately introduced to the records of the mighty work of God in creation. This vestibule gives access to the law courts, passing through which we come to the picture gallery of the historical books. Here we find hung upon the walls scenes of battles, pictures of heroic deeds, and portraits of valiant men of God.
Beyond the picture gallery we find the philosopher's chamber, the book of Job. Passing on we enter the music room, the book of the Psalms. Here we linger, thrilled by the grandest harmonies that ever fell on human cars. Then we come to the business office, the book of Proverbs, in the very center of which stands the motto: "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
Leaving the business office, we pass into the research department, Ecclesiastes. Next we go into the conservatory, the Song of Solomon, where the fragrant aroma of the choicest fruits, flowers and the sweet singing of birds greet us. Then we reach the observatory, where the prophets with their powerful telescopes are looking for the appearing of the "Bright and Morning Star," prior to the dawning of the "Sun of Righteousness.”
Crossing the courtyard we come to the audience chamber of the King, the gospels, where we find four life-like portraits of the King Himself. These reveal the perfections of His infinite beauty. Next we enter the workroom of the Holy Spirit, the Acts of the Apostles. Beyond that the correspondence room of the Epistles, where we see Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude busy at their tables under the personal direction of the Spirit of Truth.
Finally we enter the throne room, the book of the Revelation. We are enrapt by the mighty volume of adoration and praise which is addressed to the enthroned King and fills the vast chamber, in the adjacent galleries and judgment hall there are portrayed solemn scenes of judgment and wondrous scenes of glory associated with the coming manifestation of the Son of God as King of kings and Lord of lords.
