“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” 
John 5:39 
ATLAS of Salvation 

The  word  “Bible” comes from the greek word “biblios” which translates as “book” (Luke 4:17). In the New 

Testament, biblios refers to the Old Testament Scripture.   
The  starting  point  of  all  doctrinal  studies  must  be  the  Bible,  the Word of God, that is, the Holy Scripture 
of 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. 
 
I - PENTATEUCH 
A.  The  ​Pentateuch  ​consists  of  the  first  five  books  of  the  OT:  Genesis,  Exodus  Leviticus,  Numbers,  and 
Deuteronomy.  
B.  The  term  “Pentateuch”  (five-volume  book)  comes  from  the  Greek  term  pentáteuchos  (penta,  meaning 
five, and teuchos, meaning a volume, a book) after the Jewish designation, “the five-fifths of the law”.   
C. The Jews called it “Torah” (instruction) which is often rendered in English by “Law”. 
 
A - GENESIS  
Nearly the entire Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, and Genesis is no exception.  
The  original  Hebrew  title  is  bereshit,  which  means  “in  beginning”.  This  is  an  appropriate  title,  for  it  is 
the book of beginnings. But our English Bibles do not follow the Hebrew title; we follow the Greek title. 
The  Greek  word  ​geneseos  means  “origin,  source,  generation,  or  beginning.”  Geneseos  is  a  translation  of 
the  Hebrew  word  toledot  (“generations,”  2:4).  This  title  is  also  quite  appropriate  because  Genesis  is 
indeed a history of origins (sin, death, language), births, genealogies, and generations. 
Although  Genesis  does  not  directly  name  its  author;  Jesus  and  the  writers  of  Scripture  clearly  believed 
that Moses was the author of the Pentateuch.   
The  Book  of  Genesis  has  sometimes  been  called  the  "seed-plot"  of  the  entire  Bible.  Most  of  the  major 
doctrines in the Bible are introduced in "seed" form in the Book of Genesis.  
Along with the fall of man, God's promise of salvation or redemption is recorded (Genesis 3:15).  
The  doctrines  of  creation,  imputation  of  sin,  justification,  atonement,  depravity,  wrath,  grace, 
sovereignty, responsibility, and many more are all addressed in this book of origins called Genesis. 
Christ in Genesis 
Main revelation: THE ______ OF THE _________ (Genesis 3:15; Luke 1:34-35) 
Messiah would be a king in the line of ________ (Gen 49:10, John 1:49) 
Typified in the person of _______ (Gen 14:18) 
The life of ______ - the sacrificed son (Gen 22)  
The life of ______ - the rejected brother (Gen 37) 
 
B - EXODUS  
Exodus  is  a Greek word meaning: exit, departure, or going out. Named because it records the departure of 
the nation of Israel leaving from Egypt after 430 years.  
In  God's  timing,  the  exodus  of  the  Israelites  from  Egypt  marked  the  end  of  a  period  of  oppression  for 
Abraham's  descendants  (Genesis  15:13),  and  the  beginning  of  the  fulfillment  of  the  covenant  promise  to 
Abraham  that  his  descendants  would  not  only  live  in  the  Promised  Land,  but  would  also  multiply  and 
become a great nation (Genesis 12:1-3, 7).  
The  purpose  of  the  book  may be expressed as tracing the rapid growth of Jacob's descendants from Egypt 
to the establishment of the theocratic nation in their Promised Land.

Christ in Exodus  
Main revelation: THE PASSOVER _______ (Exodus 12; John 1:29,36) 
Typified in the life of ______ - the deliverer 
The _______ from Heaven (Ex 16, John 6) 
The ______ struck at Horeb (Ex 17, 1 Cor 10:4) 
The ________ (Brazen Altar, Lampstand, Table of Showbread, Ark of the covenant etc) (Gen 25-30) 
 
C- LEVITICUS  
From  Greek  Leuitikon  —  from  rabbinic  Hebrew  torat  kohanim;  the  English  name  is  from  the  Latin 
Leviticus,  taken  in  turn  from  Greek  and  a  reference  to  the  Levites,  the  tribe  of  Aaron,  from  whom  the 
Kohanim ('"priests") descended. 
Because  the  Israelites  had been held captive in Egypt for 400 years, the concept of God had been distorted 
by  the  polytheistic,  pagan Egyptians.  The purpose of Leviticus is to provide instruction and laws to guide 
a sinful, yet redeemed people in their relationship with a holy God.  
There  is  an  emphasis  in  Leviticus  on  the  need  for  personal  holiness  (it  is  the  keyword  in  Leviticus)  in 
response to a holy God.  
Sin must be atoned for through the offering of proper sacrifices (chapters 8-10).  
Other  topics  covered  in  the  book  are  diets  (clean  and  unclean  foods),  childbirth,  and  diseases  which  are 
carefully  regulated  (chapters  11-15).  Chapter  16 describes the Day of Atonement when an annual sacrifice 
is made for the cumulative sin of the people.  
Furthermore,  the  people  of  God  are  to  be  circumspect  in  their  personal,  moral,  and  social  living,  in 
contrast to the then-current practices of the heathen roundabout them (chapters 17-22).  
The  Book  of  Hebrews  is  the  most  profitable  Book  in  the  New  Testament  to  help  you  to  understand  the 
Book of Leviticus. 
Hebrews 10:1 tells us that the Law was a shadow of what would come. With Jesus, it was fulfilled. 
Hebrews 9:12 – “once” vs 28 “once” Hebrews 10:10 “once for all” vs 12 -“one sacrifice” 
vs 11 the priests “sacrifices” or sacraments, can NEVER take away sins. 
 
Christ in Leviticus  
Main revelation: THE HIGH ________ 
Typified in the ________ and ________ (Lev 1-7) 
In the Jewish festivals (__________, _________) (Lev 16, 23) 
In the ________ (Lev 16:7-9) 
In the person and duties of the High ______ (Lev 16) 
 
D- NUMBERS  
  The  name  of  the  book  comes  from  the  two  censuses  taken  of  the  Israelites;  from  Greek  Arithmoi; 
Hebrew: Bəmiḏbar, "In the desert [of]” 
The  Book  Reminds  believers  of  the  spiritual  warfare  in  which  they are engaged, for Numbers is the book 
of the service and walk of God's people.

Essentially  bridges  the  gap between the Israelites receiving the Law (Exodus and Leviticus) and preparing 

them to enter the Promised Land (Deuteronomy and Joshua). 
 
Christ in Numbers  
Main revelation: THE C______ AND THE F______  
Messiah  would  be  a  ______  (Num  24:17).  Balaam’s  fourth  oracle  speaks  of  the star and the scepter who is 
to  rise  out  of  Jacob.  Here  is  a  prophecy  of  Christ  who  is called the "morning star" in Revelation 22:16 for 
His glory, brightness, and splendor, and for the light that comes by Him. 
Typified in the bronze ________ (Num 21:8-9) 
The Water from the _______ (Num 20) 
  
E - DEUTERONOMY 
from  Ancient  Greek:  Deuteronómion,  "second  law";  Hebrew:  Devārīm,  "[spoken]  words")  “These  are  the 
words which Moses spoke” (1:1) 
Moses  was  the  author  of  the  Pentateuch.  Someone  else  (Joshua,  perhaps)  may  have  written  the  last 
chapter. 
Consists  of  three  sermons  or  speeches  delivered  to  the Israelites by Moses on the plains of Moab, shortly 
before they enter the Promised Land. 
A  new  generation of Israelites was about to enter the Promised Land. This multitude had not experienced 
the  miracle  at  the  Red  Sea  or  heard  the  law  given  at  Sinai,  and  they  were  about  to  enter a new land with 
many  dangers  and  temptations.  The  book  of  Deuteronomy  was  given  to  remind  them  of  God’s  law  and 
God’s power. 
None  of  us  is  “above  the  law.”  Even  Moses,  the  leader  and  prophet chosen by God, was required to obey. 
The  reason  that  he  was  not  allowed  to  enter  the  Promised  Land  was  that  he  disobeyed  the  Lord’s  clear 
command (Numbers 20:13). 
As  Israel  remembered  God’s  faithfulness,  so  should  we.  The crossing of the Red Sea, the holy presence at 
Sinai,  and  the  blessing  of  manna  in  the  desert  should  be  an  encouragement  to  us  as  well.  A great way to 
keep going forward is to take some time to look back and see what God has done. 
 
Christ in Deuteronomy  
Main revelation: THE PROPHET LIKE ________ 
Messiah will be a _______ (Deut 18:15-19, John 6:14) 
Messiah would be worshipped by angels (Deut 32:43, Luke 2:13-14) 
Typified in the cities of _______ (Deut 4:41)
