New Zealand is in another lockdown - stuck at home - what shall I do? What about another Bible Module. This time The Expanded Bible. It is much in the genre of The Amplified Bible.
So once again using SQLite and Excel and much, much patience over this lockdown I am working my way through producing The Expanded Bible for my own use.
And once again - It is very rewarding developing this – as I work through the books, chapters and verses I see things about Scripture I haven't ‘seen’ before. As I looked at various passages, believing I am reading the Word of God, God speaks. He speaks of the history of Israel, He speaks of the plans He as for the rescuing of people from the clutches of sin, He speaks of His Son Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world and He speaks of much, much more.
So, the building of a Bible module becomes much, much more than just a technical exercise, it becomes much more that long hours of correcting mistakes that SQLite had made in exporting to Excel, it becomes much more as I corrected the ‘mistakes’ the Excel made in ‘translating’, it becomes a dialogue with the Living God.
Praise God He still communicates to us through His Word.
