Transcripts
well my name is Garrett thank you for
tuning in today I just want to make a
quick video on something that I felt
like I was being called to do share the
quick way to learn all the books of the
Bible and I believe that it's easier to
you know get to know the Bible a little
better if you know the books so um I
gathered a quick way to learn the 66
total books which is 39 in the Old
Testament 27 in the new I'm a little
more visual learner so I positioned all
the books of the Bible of the Old
Testament specifically on this page in a
position on the page so I start with
Genesis Exodus numbers Deuteronomy those
are five law then you kind of get over
into the history sections which would be
Joshua judges Ruth Samuel Kings first
and second Samuel first and second Kings
first and second chronicles Ezra
Nehemiah Esther I didn't leave off the
first and second parts of that as well
as all the other ones that are in the
Bible for time sake in 4a just to ease
memorization process and you kind of get
into the wisdom section you've got Jones
Psalms proverbs Ecclesiastes Song of
Solomon then you get into the major
prophets or quote unquote major these
just a little more significant and a
little longer Isaiah Jeremiah
lamentations Ezekiel and Daniel then you
move down to the quote-unquote minor
prophets a little more abstract concepts
and a little less known so those would
be Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah
now whom Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai
Zechariah and Malachi and if that
doesn't help you then I made a couple
acronyms Genesis Exodus Leviticus
numbers Deuteronomy great eaters leave
no desert this is a little bit more of a
stretch Joshua judges Ruth Samuel kings
Josh jumped right side Kevin just a
little bit of like an exclamation I
don't know this one's a little better
chronicles Ezra Nehemiah Esther come eat
new eggs finally into the wisdom job
paid pennies every Saturday obviously
using Jo for a name they're just ease
the memorization process finally this is
probably my best one in June let's see
Donuts Isaiah Jeremiah lamentations
Ezekiel and Daniel getting down the
Minor Prophets Hosea just ate oranges
Hosea Joel Amos and Obadiah Jonah may
nine
hats don't know micah nahum habakkuk and
then finally this one's more of a sound
memorization you can do Sepp Anaya
Haggai Zechariah Malachi and that seemed
to work for me finally moving into the
New Testament 27 books this is a little
easier
you've got your functional books at the
top and I use an action acronym for that
Matthew Mark Luke John acts Romans
Corinthians my mom left jumping around
red cars that one's a bit of a stretch
but if it helps you then great finally
into the another section I kind of mood
back on the path you know kind of
showing showcasing how the Bible is a
path and yeah you're kind of putting it
all together so Galatians Ephesians
Philippians Colossians Thessalonians
Jared enjoys putting cards together
that's my name I just use it there if
you want to use another G name that's
fine whatever works and finally moving
down to the bottom timothy titus
philemon hebrews james and peter tiny
titus picked his juice
it was punch so that's what the kind of
- represents that that's that one's a
bit of a stretch as well but it helps
you finally John Jude revelations that
one's a little easier that's obviously
first second and third John an easy way
to remember that is jjr I couldn't come
up with an acronym for that but most
people know that revelation this is the
last book and you can just kind of piece
together John and Jude they're separated
but you know basically just using
whatever method works for you I tried to
provide to to share an out I apologize
for my camerawork and sound quality I
did film this on myself when I just
wanted to get out of video and please
let me know if you enjoyed if it helps
and god bless you thank you for viewing
