ELTB Introduction
God wants everyone to know him. So he made the world. [1] Everything he made is designed to teach us about him. [2] It is difficult for us to learn about God from stars and stones. We learn easier through words and actions.
He chose some people to teach us about him, but they didn't know what to say, since they did not know him very well themselves. So God used them like actors in a play. Their lives became a parable for all of us to learn about God. [3] In the play, we learn from rocks and stars through what is said about rocks and stars.
God hid lessons for us in the history of Israel. In this book we will look at the things that they were allowed to eat and not eat, and see what they teach about God.
