INSPIREd Bible

Besides looking at intelligence in the Bible, we can look at the Bible as intelligence analysts. To do this, I used to tool called INSPIRE, which is an information visualization software. Dots that are closer together are more related.  Groups that are very related have their major word groupings labeled.  The more dots (the higher the peak), the more common the word grouping. Inspire automatically arranges them to where each dot's distance from every other dots is correlated to how related they are. Going more into the InSpire program, major themes/motifs are also listed. Below I have included a list of the top 20 of the major themes/motifs of the Bible as identified by InSpire:

1. Yahweh, God, King, Lord, Jesus, Christ
• The Bible says what it is about: "These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." -John 20:31
2. Israel,  Children (of Israel), Nation, Tribes
• The Bible is a history God working through his people, and the lineage that he preserved to accomplish his plan for our salvation
3. Sin (Original Sin), Offering, Sacrifice, Altar
• The reason we need God's salvation
