Did you ever think or assume
something was a Great Work or Best Work? Something considered the Great Work or Work Best of
course may depend on one’s judgment or
perception. The author considered one of the best works among some of the works
or greatest of all time is the Bible or Scripture.
The
Bible was written in the 16th century by approximately 40 contributors from
diffrent backgrounds. Nonetheless, the end result is consistent from beginning
to end. The has survived beyond more controversy than any other books. The
Bible is the number one selling book in the world. The Bible has been
translated, in whole or in part, into more than 2000 languages. Billions of
books have been printed and almost no place on this earth where the Bible not
found.
However, few people ever thought that one day the Bible will be
displaced by the newly published books. Thomas
Paine is one of the famous figures who once predicted that the Bible would
someday be a book that is only found in museums or flea that sells used books on
the street.
In 1887 he came to America. In America he written and
published his works, and they are very bright and brilliant, inspiring and
uplifting even as hypnotizing the American people rose up against the British
to gain independence. His works are brilliant catapulting his name became
famous and praised millions of people.
Wealth, fame and accolades to be part of his life. However, when at the
glory and fame, he wrote a book which is his greatest work, entitled “The Age
of Reason” which contained about faith, which was published in London. He
predicted that the book would destroy the Bible considered only as myth and
legend.
But
the opposite is true, the book eventually destroyed backfired name int the peak
of fame. As a result of his book many people blasphemed and reviled and turn
left, including his fans. When he tried to fix and restore his good name and
fame earned that have been lost, many people regard him as an insane person.
Result from prolonged sadness and despair that include his life, he felt sick
to death of him.
He
died in a loneliness and solitude without friends or fame. Bible prophecy was
not proved, otherwise the Bible became a
best seller in the world, only the Great Work and the work of all time
unbeatable.
