Hey Shalom everyone. I'm Amir Sal Fatiy

and welcome back to explore the Bible where Dr. Rickion and I are looking into the best ways to cause you to sit, open the Bible,

and study it in the best way possible.

This program aims basically to make it easy for every person to read, study, understand, enjoy, and glean from the Word of God.

And together with us today, Pastor, Dr. Rickion. Shalom Rick. How are you, my friend?

Hello, Amir, I am doing very, very well. Yeah, it's good to see you, my friend. You know, throughout these podcasts,

you've provided us amazing insights on the Bible and in so many different things. And the last thing we did was actually

looking into basically studying the Bible by using biographies.

And we both looked at the life of John Mark in the New Testament and of Ezra,

describing the Old Testament, Ezra the priests.

Are we continuing today with biographies or do you have something new for us?

Well, in a sense, I wish we were continuing in biographies because there are so many biographies in the Bible.

But I want to switch and get into another approach, a very interesting approach that I myself have not used for many, many years.

And the more I got into Scripture, I thought, well, why don't I really focus on the various kinds of literature that we have in the scriptures.

I mean, we have prophecy, we have narrative, we have historical information, we have

apocalyptic writings.

And it's just really interesting, the more you see these different literary types, the more

exciting it is to see what the writer is trying to communicate to us.

And so that's what we're going to do today.

Wonderful. Well, before we do that, can I ask you to pray?

So we can actually dive into this program with the blessing of the Almighty.

So.
