Into the book
The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah (Christ) (1:1-17; Luke 3:23-38)
The New Testament era, which all the devout people of the Old Testament eagerly awaited, begins in the Bible with the genealogy of the Messiah (Christ) Jesus.
Genealogy is something that is more valuable and absolute than anything else in the world to the Jews who have revered their ancestors and bloodline for generations.
Since the time of the patriarchs, the Jews have determined land ownership based on genealogy, and the positions of kings and priests have been determined based on genealogy.
The Jews firmly believed that the Messiah, the 'King of the Jews' who would come in the future, would be born from the lineage of Abraham and David, based on the Law of Moses and the prophecies of the prophets recorded in the Bible.
Therefore, anyone who deviates from the lineage and genealogy of Abraham and David could never become the Messiah.
Matthew, who wrote the Gospel of Matthew, was a Jew and knew this fact better than anyone else.
So, before recording the birth and life of Jesus, he first introduced his genealogy to clearly show that Jesus was the Messiah (Christ), the descendant of Abraham and David, whom all mankind, including the Jews, had been waiting for.
Now, let us look at the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the descendant of Abraham and the descendant of David.
Well, before that, we need to first understand what it means to call Jesus ‘Messiah’ or ‘Christ’.
The word 'Christ' is often thought of as a name, but it is actually a title.
Also, the word 'Christ' is the Greek form of the Hebrew word 'Messiah'.
The meaning is that both are 'anointed (to accomplish a special mission)'.
This fact tells us that Jesus is the 'Messiah of the Covenant', chosen and anointed by God and sent to this earth with the special mission of saving His people from the abyss of sin, as all the prophets of the Old Testament had consistently prophesied.
So, is Jesus truly a descendant of Abraham and David, as repeatedly prophesied by the Old Testament prophets? Now, let's examine Jesus' genealogy.
From Abraham to David, 14 generations
The ancestor of the Israelites is Abraham.
Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers.
Judah was the fourth son of Jacob, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, and was blessed as the son who would form the future royal tribe.
And Judah begat Perez and Zerah by Tamar his daughter-in-law; Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram.
Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.
Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, a prostitute from the city of Jericho. Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, a Moabite woman. Obed fathered Jesse.
Jesse, who lived in Bethlehem in the land of Judah, became the father of David.
To summarize the genealogy so far, Abraham → Isaac → Jacob → Judah → Perez → Hezron → Ram → Aminadab → Nahshon → Salmon → Boaz → Obed → Jesse → David.
These are the first ancestors of the Messiah Jesus, and counting up to this point, there are 14 generations.

The storytelling Bibles published by Seongseowon, one by one, are not mass-produced by machines, but rather are woven together verse by verse with the goal of helping readers better understand the Bible through stories and background knowledge.
So, every time I hear news of a new book being published, I run to it with surprise, wonder, and joy.
May God hold you until the very last moment!

Finally, the history book has come out.
First of all, I thank God.
Thank you for publishing the Storytelling Bible, which makes the Lord's word easier to understand for many people.
I believe that the Lord intervenes in all things.
Revised Standard Version. Easy Bible.
I read the storytelling and it felt like a reference book.
A storytelling Bible written like a story in an easy-to-understand way.
Personally, I would like to recommend reading it together with the Revised Version or the Easy Bible rather than just reading the Storytelling Bible.
Through the history books, I pray that many people will once again acknowledge the Lord as the Lord of all nations, learn how God has carried out His will in world history, and which nations and people are the Lord's kingdom and people. I pray that we will realize how we should live as the Lord's people in these difficult times and hope only for the Lord's kingdom.

Finally, the historical storytelling Bible, 1 and 2 Kings, has been published.
thank you
I also bought two sets of the Pentateuch and gave them as gifts to new believers and Bible readers around me, and they loved them.
I also enjoy reading the Storytelling Bible because it is written in a more narrative style and develops more vividly than other easy-to-read Bibles or message Bibles.
I will continue to pray for the prophets and poets, as well as the historical books.
Thank you, Seongseowon, fighting! ^^
Yoo O-ha
I've purchased both the paper and e-book versions of the Pentateuch, the Storytelling Bible, and have only purchased the history books in paper form so far. However, Ezra-Esther will be published next month, so I think I'll be able to purchase the e-book version of the history books soon.
I know that there are many prayers and thoughts involved in the process of publishing the Bible, the word of God.
Although it is a little later than planned, I pray that the correct gospels permitted by God the Father will be published even if it is delayed further.

The miraculous story of the Bible has finally been published! What kind of story will thrill me this time?
As expected, I've been waiting for a long time.
The storytelling Bible is also fun.
It also makes sense.
This time too, I won't disappoint you. I'll be immersed in the world of the storytelling Bible.
4) What kind of book is the Storytelling Bible?
Immersed in the story of our lives
The Holy Story of Life and Salvation
The Storytelling Bible of Seongseowon has been created to make it very easy to understand the contents of the Bible in the 'story form' that has been most familiar to people since ancient times.
This is not a summary of the Bible or an excerpt of its main points.
Even the parallel texts of the Bible are not omitted at all, and each verse is followed with annotations and commentary, telling the story as a “magnified Bible” that conveys the message of the Bible to readers in a friendly and fun way.
The Storytelling Bible is 2-4 times longer than the original Bible text, as it includes not only stories but also commentary and explanations.
For example, based on the text of the Easy Bible, “The Story of Joseph and His Brothers” (Genesis 37-50) is 200 pages of 200-character manuscript paper.
However, in the Storytelling Bible, it is 2.5 times as many, with 500 pages.
The reason for this increased volume is that in the storytelling Bible, the storyteller not only objectively explains the biblical text, but also confessionally states his or her own response to the Word through devout and holy meditation after reading the text.
When the author's emotions meet the reader's emotions, the reader can experience sharing the Word, enriching their lives.
Therefore, when it comes to understanding the Bible, it is much better to read the storytelling Bible once than to read the text 10 times without understanding it.
5) Publication schedule (the first book in Korea to be published every other month)

8) Why is storytelling necessary in the Bible?
Storytelling Bible
1.
Definition: The world's first and only Bible that tells and explains the entire Bible (1,189 chapters) in a story-like manner (in an easy and fun way)!
2.
Why is it necessary? (i.e., is there a real need to publish this book?)
1) It helps you understand the Bible properly and completely.
The Bible is a book of 66 books written by about 40 authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years, from about 1,400 BC to about 100 AD.
So, it is a book written about the history, geography, language, customs, and weights and measures of the ancient Middle East, centered around ancient Israel, 3,500 to 2,000 years ago.
This means, "It's incredibly difficult for today's average Christian reader to truly understand the Bible!" Therefore, even highly educated readers, without the aid of commentaries or expositions, struggle to grasp even 50% of the Bible's content.
That is why there have been many translations of the Bible into ‘easy language’, but they only explain the words and sentences of the Bible in an easy way, and there are still limitations to a complete understanding of the Bible.
Example) Ruth 1:11-13 Revised Standard Version Bible “Then Naomi said, ‘Return, my daughters! Why should you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb who will become your husbands? Turn back, my daughters, for I am old and cannot have a husband. Even if I say, ‘There is hope,’ and even if I were to have a husband tonight and bear sons, why would you wait until they grow up, and why would you set your heart on being without a husband?”
Storytelling Bible [Background Explanation] What Naomi said at this time was in mind of the long-standing custom of 'step-marriage' in Israelite society.
Intermarriage is a custom in which, when a husband dies and there are no children to carry on the family line, the widow continues the family line through another brother of the deceased husband.
Therefore, if Naomi had a grown son, the two widows could continue their family line through him.
But Naomi had only two dead sons, and she was too old to remarry and have children.
So, instead of suffering as a widow without a husband or children for the rest of your life since you don't even have any hope of remarriage, you should go out and find a new life while you are still young.
These words were said with sincere concern for the future of his two daughters-in-law (Ruth and Orpah).
2) It makes reading the Bible easy and fun.
The Bible, consisting of 66 books, is enormous in volume.
Approximately 15,000 pages of 200-character manuscript paper.
250-page single volume, a whopping 20 volumes.
This enormous volume of the Bible was written in a stiff, archaic style, without even punctuation, against the backdrop of the difficult language, customs, and history of the ancient world.
So, it is very difficult to read the entire book without a certain amount of determination and patience.
Even if I read with difficulty, I quickly forget and cannot even properly understand what I read.
The Storytelling Bible, consisting of 24 volumes, is written in a simple, modern language that we use today, with accurate punctuation, and dialogue that captures the emotions of each character, making it easy and fun to read.
Moreover, footnotes, exposition, and background explanations are naturally incorporated into the sentences, and maps and pictures are appropriately inserted, making it easier and more enjoyable to read the Bible while properly understanding it.
The Storytelling Bible is currently the best-selling book of 2020, with over 40,000 subscribers.
Reading the history of the 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments, the intervening period, and learning how Jesus' life and teachings were built on promises, we will understand why humanity so eagerly awaited the coming of the Messiah.

This enormous volume of the Bible was written in a stiff, archaic style, without even punctuation, against the backdrop of the difficult language, customs, and history of the ancient world.
So, it is very difficult to read the entire book without a certain amount of determination and patience.
Even if I read with difficulty, I quickly forget and cannot even properly understand what I read.
The Storytelling Bible, consisting of 24 volumes, is written in a simple, modern language that we use today, with accurate punctuation, and dialogue that captures the emotions of each character, making it easy and fun to read.
Moreover, footnotes, exposition, and background explanations are naturally incorporated into the sentences, and maps and pictures are appropriately inserted, making it easier and more enjoyable to read the Bible while properly understanding it.
