The first thing people who believe in God come into contact with is the Bible. Regardless of which denomination, if you join as a new believer, you will learn the Bible, but since each denomination teaches the Bible differently, many people find it difficult to read the Bible. Therefore, for those who want to learn the Bible, we would like to inform you about the composition of the Bible and how to study it. The Bible can be divided into five stages, which can be summarized in stages as follows.

Step 1 (Kindergarten Learning)

In the first stage, the new believer learns the structure of the Bible and the written background. And we learn why the Old and New Testaments were separated. The Bible is divided into 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament. The Old Testament records the history of the kingdom of Israel, the creation of God, and the history of the law. And the prophetic books written by the prophets are divided by era. The New Testament records the teachings of Yehoshua and the process of the disciples preaching the gospel after the resurrection of Yehoshua. In this way, new believers learn and understand the basic structure and simple words of the Bible before moving on to the second stage.

Stage 2 (Elementary Learning)

The second stage teaches the laws that were kept in the Old Testament times. The reason we teach the law is that we can understand Christ through the law. If the saints do not know the law, they cannot believe in Yehoshua as the Savior. Paul testified of this:

[Galatians 3:23-24] Before faith came, we were bound under the law as to the future faith. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

The law serves as a teacher leading us to Christ and is called primary education. The law here refers to the Old Testament law. The Old Testament law refers to the Ten Commandments received at Mount Sinai. Therefore, the law is a generic term for the Ten Commandments and all the sacrifices performed in the temple that keep the Ten Commandments. We cannot know how Christ saves us without learning the temple system. Therefore, in the second stage, we learn the laws that were enforced in the temple on earth.

Stage 3 (Secondary Studies)

The third step is to discover the mystery of Christ through the law, that is, the temple system.

[Hebrews 8:5] They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."

The temple on this earth was created as a model and shadow of the heavenly temple. Therefore, if you study the temple system well, you will see the things that are happening in the heavenly temple as if you were seeing it with your own eyes. If you look closely at the Old Testament temple, there was a sacrificial animal that was sacrificed for the sins of the people, and there was a high priest who entered the Most Holy on the Day of Atonement and passed over the sins to the Azazel goat. However, all these procedures are shadows of the prophecies that will be fulfilled by Yehoshua, who is the reality of the heavenly temple. Therefore, if you learn step 3, you will realize that the sacrifice of forgiveness of sins has been abolished.

Stage 4 (Higher Studies)

In the fourth stage, you will learn the design and construction process of the heavenly temple and the rules of the temple. The Bible testifies about this as follows.

[Ezekiel 43:10~11] "Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins. Let them consider the plan, and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make known to them the design of the temple--its arrangement, its exits and entrances--its whole design and all its regulations and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.   

The fourth step is to learn the structure and design of the heavenly temple and the rules of the temple. If you learn this well, you will also come to know the reality of Satan. If you learn the four-step process well, you will discover not only heaven but also the den of Satan. Therefore, Stage 4 is a high-level study.

Step 5 (University)

Through the hidden history of Israel, you can check the history of spiritual Israel, and through this, you will have the ability to discern the ages. The 5th level study is an advanced study where you can know the heavenly world and the future. Through this, you can practice love for God and love for your neighbor.

[Romans 13:8~10] Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not urder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The final study the Saints learn is prophecy. And we can practice love by making known the words of prophecy, and this is the fulfillment of the law. Just as there is hope when there is faith and love is realized when there is hope, you cannot reach the final stage of love if you do not learn from steps 1 to 4.

[2 Peter 1:4] By this he has bestowed upon us an exceedingly great and precious promise, that through this promise you may partake of the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world through evil passions.

The final study the Saints learn is love. Therefore, the saints who have gained love have acquired the disposition of God, and this is the end of all learning. People are born, go through kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, university, and then get married as adults. Likewise, to come to God, you must go through a five-step process. Therefore, in order to be saved, we must study the Word of God again with a humble heart.
