.qnzaisnfing B I B L E This Shows the Historical and Progressive Work of Redemption clfiitozy of tfie Cygdlf THE REASON WHY THE P.B.T.S. BIBLE DOCTRINE CHART WAS MADE Every teacher and many students know that facts enter into the mind much more readily through the eye gate than through any of the other senses. Some Hfteen years back, when the author of the chart was trying to help his students to see that the history of Bible Doctrine was progressive in character, the same as the history of nations, he sought to illustrate this truth by diagrams. This chart is the develop- ment of those simple diagrams until it has been called by others, A Road Map Through the Bible. That is exactly what the author had in mind, viz., to make one understand that while God's plan for the salvation of mankind was all finished in detail Before the foundation of the world, Page Thirty yet it has been unfolded to mankind grad- ually, as the mind of a seeker for truth could understand it. God revealed facts to man as he was able to digest them. This P.B.T.S. Doctrine chart helps the student to place Scripture in its proper place in relation to the other Scriptures, and thus he may comprehend its message with far greater clearness. May God bless every student of His Word. Note: A larger reproduction of the Bible Doctrine Chart, together with the Interpretation and in- structions for coloring, is available at Echoes Pub- lishing Co., Bible School Park, N. Y.

This Chart Is Used in the Doctrine, Biblical, and Systematic Theology Classes of P. B. T S INTERPRETATION OF THE CHART By REV. H. H. WAGNER, D.D. Rom. 1:20 tells us The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead. Creation should teach us about God. Creation is beautiful in its variety of colors. God loves the beautiful, Isa. 33:17, Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty. Cf. Psa. 50:1-2, Heb. 11:16, Rev. 21:1 to 22:S, Matt. 6:28-29, Mal. 3:16-17. In the study of the tabernacle God makes use of colors-blue, purple, scarlet, and white: and of metals,-gold, silver, and brass, Ex. 25:1-8. Gold, the First substance mentioned, is a metal of a yellow color comparable to sunlight. I john 125, God is light. Matt. 25:31, Christ tells us that He Shall come in His glory which in Matt. 24:27 is to be as the lightning. The glory of God is the power of life, John 11:39-44, Rom. 6:4. The beautiful yellow light of the glory of God as expressed in His life is seen in John 1:4-9. Silver stands for redemption, Ex. 30:11- 165 38:25, Mal. 3:3. Brass stands for judgment, Ex. 27:1-6: Deut. 28:23g Num. 21:8-9, cf. John 3:14- 15. The color of brass represents the law and judgment. Blue represents Deity, Num. 15:37-41. This is illustrated in Ex. 24:9-103 Ezek. 1:26, and helps us in understanding Num. 416, 7, 9, 11, etc. Purple represents royalty, Esther 8:15, and explains its use in mockery, in Mark 15:16-18, John 19:1-5. It interprets Num. 4:13. Scarlet represents The life of the flesh, Lev. 17:11. Our blood is scarlet and Christ's blood likewise was scarlet, Heb. 2:14. Scar- let is not God's color for sin.
