The Bible - Grand House Tour

I have only just discovered this and thought you might enjoy it too. 

'THE BIBLE'
The Bible is a beautiful palace built out of sixty six blocks of marble - its separate Books.
In the first chapter of Genesis we enter the Vestibule, which is filled with the mighty acts of Creation.  The Vestibule gives us access to the Law Courts, the five books of Moses.  Passing through these we come to the Picture Gallery of the Historical Books.  Here we find hung upon the walls scenes of battlefields, representations of heroic deeds and portraits of eminent men belonging to the early days of the world's history.  Beyond the Picture Gallery we find the Philosopher's Chamber, the Book of Job.  Passing on we enter the Music Room, the Book of Psalms where we listen to the grandest strains that ever fell on human ears.  Then we come to the Business Office, the Book of Proverbs, where right in the centre of the room stands facing us the motto: 'Righteousness exalteth a Nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.'  From the Business Office we pass into the Chapel Ecclesiastes, or The Preacher in his pulpit and thence unto the Conservatory, the Song of Solomon with the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley and all manner of fine perfumes, fruits and flowers.  Finally we reach the Observatory, the Prophets. with their telescopes fixed on near and distant stars and all directed towards the Bright and Morning Star that was soon to arise.
 Crossing the Court we come to the Audience Chamber of the King, the Gospels - where we find four lifelike portraits of the King Himself.  Next we enter the workroom of the Holy Spirit, the Acts of the Apostles and beyond that the Correspondence Room - the Epistles where we see Peter & Paul and James and Jude busy at their desks.  If you would know what they are writing about, their Epistles are open for all to study.
Before leaving we stand for a moment in the Outside Gallery, the Revelation, where we look upon some striking pictures of the judgement to come and the glories to be revealed, concluding with an awe-inspiring picture of the Throne Room of the King.  W.DUNS
