What do we know about how the Bible came to be,.

"What do we know about how the Bible came to be,?"

A lot! matter of Fact a "whole lot"! more than the "Prophets of Old", more than the 1st century CE "believers" of The Beginning of a "New Covenant" and "The Revelation" of Jesus Christ" for we in this age. have "the "Panoramic View" of "The Salvation of GOD".

American Standard Version(LUKE 3:6).
"And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
Isaiah 40:5
"And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."

The Prophecy of Simeon, "THE Man who held GOD in his arms and "blessed HIM"!
"Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying: Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant inpeace. For my eyes have seen Your Salvation".

Now if i only could "Preach it now" From, Luke the 2nd chapter, The 28 verse, From here I would take my "text. within the view, and presentation of "Dr. Luke" who writings is in form of another "great Physician" as He approach The Temple in Jerusalem, the pair of Turtledoves or Two young Pigeons, as if he had a skill scalpel in his hands and letting us know that "Jesus" mother and father were poor, and ponder the events that has transpired, total bewildered, And Now They have place "GOD" into the hands and arms of old man, Called "Simeon", Which such preciseness, of this event, it has lasted over 2000 years, And without "further Ado" we shall look at that account again. "The Salvation of GOD" The very Day that GOD got "Circumcise"! ' I can hear my , mother now in the "congregation", Her voice crying in a loud voice, " You Better Catch him, because he is about to GO! Then the True "Children of GOD" start standing up from their seats! And I can hear their voices, Tell it, Tell it, and we are on , one accord. " The Shekhinah glory", [The english transliteration of The Hebrew Language]. New Testament ,Explanation describe, "Kionnonia" the english Transliteration of The Greek. Has poured upon this place. The "Holy Oil" that is poured upon "The Body".
"Simeon":
22And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the LORD 23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD”) 24and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” 25Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the LORD’s Christ. 27And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, 28he took him up in his arms and [he]"BLESSED GOD" and said,

29“Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace,
according to your word;
30for my eyes have seen your salvation
31that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.”

33And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. 34And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed 35(and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”

36And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.f She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

The Return to Nazareth

39And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.

"THE Man who held GOD in his arms and "blessed HIM"!

I might be a little Rusty, But the message runs True! "The Salvation of GOD"
Just another chapter in "The Salvation Story". on "how the Bible came to be."

Shalom
