The Holy Bible begins with the words, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." However, the Bible also describes God as One who declares the end from the beginning; and so the Old Testament was written to conform to the eternal mind of God and what is to come. The New Testament fulfils and gives the true meaning to the foreshadowing and prophecy in the Old Testament. What happened to the children of Israel on their journey to the promised land, according to Apostle Paul, happened to them as examples. If the journey of the children of Israel from Egypt to the promise land is properly decoded, it will reveal the roadmap which is laid out for mankind.
