Would you ever start a movie or book, or class, in the middle of it? And if you did, then would you not be lost and confused, even unto the End maybe? The Bible is no different, and GOD did write it in some order: the Beginning first, the End last, and the rest is in between. But it also tells us how to study it (Isaiah 28:10), and how it is to be 'put together' (rightly-divided). If you first establish Truth from the Beginning, then you will have a sure foundation, and all the lessons will carry through to the END. I'm not saying read the Bible straight thought, even though it can do no harm (except make you tired or reading the bible); but, start from the Beginning and establish TRUTH from the facts, then research through the rest for support, building upon a sure foundation. Prove all things by the Word, not by what men say the Word says, and you will go far. God does not wish to hide from anyone (did HE not publish A BOOK for ALL?), and will reward the diligent seeker (HE is found in HIS WORD - THE BIBLE, not behind a rock, or under a tree, or in the desert, or even in a lot of churches) (HEB 11:6).
