I

The Bible has been a part of human history for several thousand years. People treat it like God, to the extent that in the last days, it has taken the place of God, which disgusts God. Thus, God felt obliged to clarify the inside story and origins of the Bible; were He not to do this, the Bible would continue to hold the place of God in people's hearts, and people would use the words of the Bible to measure and condemn the deeds of God.

II

God was by no means denying the existence of the Bible, nor was He condemning it; rather, He was providing an appropriate, fitting description that restored the original image of the Bible, addressed the fallacious understandings that people had toward the Bible, and gave them the correct view of the Bible, so that they no longer worshiped the Bible, and were no longer lost; which is to say, so that they would no longer mistake their blind faith in the Bible as faith in God and the worship of God. Once people have an unadulterated understanding of the Bible, they are able to cast it aside without compunction and bravely accept the new words of God.

III

The truth that God wishes to tell people here is that no theory or fact can take the place of God's work and words of today, and that nothing can stand in God's stead. If people cannot escape the trap of the Bible, they will never be able to come before God. If they wish to come before God, they must first cleanse their hearts of anything that could replace Him; then they'll be satisfactory to God.
