Fun Way to Memorize the Books of the New Testament in 5-ish minutes! No Songs for Visual Leaners...

[@Saru12249]

Wow, this has been incredibly helpful. Over the weekend, I attended a men's retreat with a presenter who seemed to have the entire Bible memorized. He was so skilled that he jumped from book to book and scripture to scripture effortlessly. I struggled to follow along because I hadn't memorized the order of the books. I realized I needed to memorize the order of the Books of the Bible. Last night, I came across your video, watched it, and practiced several times. I did the same this morning and found that I could go through the books of the New Testament on my own using your technique. Thank you so much!

[@JackofAllMinistries]

That is so great to hear! I still remember the first time I sat down to learn this and it just worked for me. That was almost 20 years ago and it still sticks in my brain…

[@davidandrews8884]

Great visual. I searched the comments also for OT. I taught a 7 year old the books using this yesterday and he learnt it super fast!!!!! Keep your eyes on our King!!!!!

[@JackofAllMinistries]

So glad to hear that! Great for just about anyone it seems…

That was amazingly helpful! Thank you so much praise God!

[@JackofAllMinistries]

Happy it helped!!

[@sharker1935]

Really appreciate this! I study the Bible regularly and even am a graduate of seminary, but always struggled with memorization of pretty much anything. Not sure I got this in five, but by the end of your video, I did! THANKS! Now I need one for the OT. God bless

[@JackofAllMinistries]

When I learned it, I had no idea how helpful it would become. I’m so happy you found it helpful!

Glad you found it helpful!! So cool that there’s an online Bible memorization community too!

[@dinerdashing]

@@JackofAllMinistries Oh, I did! In fact, I was practicing it just a few minutes ago and found that I could get all the way from Matthew to Colossians. And that was _after_ watching your video just once! Very, very effective. Actually, I memorized the New Testament several years ago, but the books have become a little fuzzy for me --- part age, part not practicing on a regular basis --- but this method might just bring it all back to me again. Maranatha!

Wow! I learned this so fast and had it down a week later after only seeing it once. Thank you! Do you have one for the Old Testament?

[@JackofAllMinistries]

I’m so glad it worked! No, unfortunately I don’t have a method for the OT that’s quite so easy. I’d like to develop one but I’m not there yet.

[@michelemoneywell8765]

I made the top 2 middle rooms the Lobby and made the Kitchen smaller so that there is a hallway on either side. This way, one can have access to each room. Entering the front door, you are in the lobby where there is a lot of action, people are roaming around. A side note on the Girls' (Gals') room is that they are from the Philippines and also like to color. This helps with P and C of the Gals Eat Pop Corn books. I learned not only the books, but also your memorization method. I used it to come up with a way to remember the Old Testament books! Look for my replies to a comment asking you if you have an OT method. It's important to learn things and to learn how to learn. Thank you for the video.

[@JackofAllMinistries]

Very clever! I actually came up with a real floor plan based on this that’s very similar to what you said. It could actually make a beautiful home! And I looked at your OT version - very clever. Is Jerry lame? Is he Dan? I’ll remember that from now on lol…

Old has 3 letters, Testament 9; There are 39 books of the OT. They are broken into groups with the pattern 5, 12, 5, 5, 12 (books in each group). The groups are Torah, History, Poetry & Wisdom, Major Prophets and Minor Prophets. Torah / The Law, 5 books. Jean exits (a building and goes to a) levee, (then suddenly feels) numb (and) doesn't (know what to do.) Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy History, 12 books. Joshua judges Ruth (and the) 2 Samuel (brothers). The 2 Kings chronicle 2 entries and then erase one, thinking never mind, it's there (in the one entry). Poetry & Wisdom, 5 books. A job is to write Psalms and Proverbs. When done, exclaim in joy and sing a song. Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon Joshua, Judges Ruth, 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings, 1&2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther Major Prophets, 5 books. Is Jerry lame, is he Dan?

OOPS! Forgot Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah and Jonah! They are the first 5 minor Prophets. Let's see: A person learning English who says "oh" a lot (instead of you know) is asking his friend Joel if he knows if people think he is a bad person: Oh say (Hosea), Joe L (Joel), am oh (Amos), oh bad (Obadiah), you know (Jonah)?

This is a large administration building. The back door goes out to a levee. Jean exits and goes to the levee where she feels numb and doesn't know what to do.

Can you do the Old Testament?

I would love to put one out for the OT but I never learned a good method for it. I’ve been slowly working on that idea but it’s a bit trickier.

[@isaiahfiftyfiveseven]

I learned the books through the brute force method not trying stories about corners and lemons. I was thinking it made no sense. Then on the second walk through i knew it all after one telling.

@@JackofAllMinistries jesus is not the messiah jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies the bible says the messiah will gather the exiles in deuteronomy 30:3 isaiah 11:11-12 jeremiah 30:3, 32:37 ezekiel 11:17, 36:24 the bible says the messiah will rebuild the temple in isaiah 2:2-3, 56:6-7, 60:7, 66:20 ezekiel 37:26-27 malachi 3:4 zechariah 14:20-21 the bible says when the messiah comes there will be world peace and a complete end to war in micah 4:1-4 hoseah 2:20 isaiah 2:1-4, 60:18 the bible says the messiah will bring universal knowledge of god in zechariah: 3:9 8:23, 14:9, 16 isaiah 45:23, 66:23; jeremiah 31:33 ezekie​l 38:23; psalm 86:9 zephaniah 3:9. jesus didn't do any of these things, so jesus can't be the messiah.

[@JackofAllMinistries]

The problem with that statement is that it assumes Jesus no longer has a chance to fulfill any prophecies. Oddly enough, the New Testament itself covers a range of things that are still to come; including almost an entire book called, “Revelation.”

[@Pomni740]

@JackofAllMinistries So you are saying that jesus didn't fulfill the prophecies, but he will come back and fulfill them them? You could use that argument to say anyone is the messiah because if they don't fulfill the prophecies, you could just say they will come back and fulfill them.

[@JackofAllMinistries]

@@Pomni740 That would be a possibility, however Jesus already fulfilled more than 300 prophecies including some which no longer have a chance to be fulfilled. For example, the timing of Daniel’s 69th week has long come and gone. Any future person claiming to be the Messiah would have to dismiss that date. No person in history or future will have the opportunity to claim Messianic authority in the way Jesus has.
