INTRODUCTION
Much like a verse of the day that other sites give (Bible Gateway, You Version, Blue Letter Bible, etc.) Time For Providence will differ by giving a mystery of the day. A mystery for investigation to solve scripture takes long hours and odd times. I prepare the mystery using a Thompson chain-reference bible—you need one in your library. The awesome thing about this practice is utilizing the chain-reference for learning how all the points of scripture are interwoven and connected.
This is your fellow SI (Scriptural Investigator) speaking: this post includes affiliate links. If you click and purchase I hope to receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I recommend resources relevant to mystery and the gospel work of faith.
The time and resources you invest into this practice will not return void or unfruitful, but will cause to reap what is sown the eternal reward. In addition to your chain-reference bible, a couple important items you should have for success in solving the mysteries are a journal and pen; Scriptural Investigator’s notate the details otherwise missed by the untrained, conducting interviews with biblical names (Jesus, Moses and the prophet Elijah, even Enoch or the archangel Michael) and the Church.
Document all relevant information, think outside the perspective of your evidence board. Pull out your laptop or device, have your bible, get a journal and pen, invite a neighbor or detain a gospel believer, because below is a scripture crime you need to investigate and solve!
CRIME SCENE
The Scripture below is our lead in the investigation. What can we learn from it?
- 1 John 5:11
- 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
If you have a chain-reference bible, the topics below are clues.
- Salvation
- The Gift of God
THE MYSTERY
Who said these words in red? He is not dead! What happens when you believe in Him? He would not have you to be condemned to perish. Why? The world knew not love until the blood of a Dove. What is the Dove of God? The time is now to believe! Where is God?
Comment the Scripture that solves this mystery? [book chapter : verse/s].
JOURNAL
What is the past to the future? The world is a big place filled with living creatures and image bearers, plants and animals have lived and died, people have come and gone, yet the Word of God remains! The evidence is so clear and yet I see trees walking (Mark 8:22-26).
Reader, “Do you see anything?”
Hi, my name is Nathan R. Dooley, and if you’re interested in mystery, philosophy, psychology and criminal justice genres, like me, then I’m excited to have brought you this MYSTERY OF THE DAY where you will experience the verse of the day in a way like Sherlock Homes experiences a case that needs solving. There is a hope and a plan to expand this project, but just like Sherlock Holmes needed Dr. Watson, this project will need resources that provide video content as the next addition to this service, with more idea-plans uh brewing. (Lord willing).
