What the Bible Reveals About It Author - THE BIBLE REFLECTS GOD'S JUSTICE

 Justice is another attribute of Jehovah. (Deuteronomy 32:4)  Justice is closely linked with impartiality, and Jehovah is impartial. (Acts 10:34, 35; Romans 2:11)  His impartiality is reflected in the languages that were used to write the Bible.  The first 39 Bible books were written mostly in Hebrew, which was  easily understood by God's people at that time. However, by the first century C.E., the Greek language was widely used, so the last 27 books of the Bible were composed mainly in that language.  Jehovah did not restrict to any one language.  Today, the nearly eight billion people on earth speak many languages. How can so many people come to learn about Jehovah?

 Through the prophet Daniel, Jehovah promised that in the time of the end, 'the true knowledge" found in the Bible would "become abundant." Many would understand it. (Read Daniel 12:4) One way that such knowledge has become abundant is through the translating, publishing, and distributing of Bible's and Bible literature.  The Bible has become the most widely translated and distribute book in the world.  Bible translations produced by commercial enterprises are sometimes very expensive.  Jehovah's people have so far translated God's Word, in whole or in part, into over 240 languages, and anyone can obtain copy without charge.  As a result, people of all nations are responding to the "good news of the Kingdom" before the end comes. (Matthew 24:14) Our God of justice wants to give as many people as possible the opportunity to get to know him by reading his Word. That is because he loves us all very much.
