Simply put.
Boiled down to it.
It's the Kingdom of God. With Christ as King.
The Kingdom of God is the theme of the Bible
It's the government that will destroy all other governments and bring the final and lasting peace to earth.
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of the heavens set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the sovereignty thereof shall not be left to another people: it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but itself shall stand for ever.

After reading some of the trash posted on Yahoo Answers by so-called Christians, I think the theme of the bible is HATE.

The Theme of the Bible is John 3:16. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life."
It is the Salvation that Comes from God's Promise.
In the beginning we find the fall of man. Adam's original sin.
But God promises a future savior.
Abraham comes as a sort of savior, but he wasn't THE Savior.
Moses comes as a sort of savior, but he wasn't THE Savior.
David comes as a sort of savior, but he wasn't THE Savior.
The Prophets come but they are not THE Savior either.
Finally Jesus comes, the Messiah, the Savior of the world. He dies for the sins of man, but is resurrectied as proof of his divinity and victory over death. Then his followers rise and build the church teaching all that Jesus gave us.

Its a horror story based on hellfire and damnation that will occur if you think your own thoughts, if you live your own life, if you love anyone of the same sex, if you believe in freedom, if you want something other that its very exact rules. I do believe however that the 10 commandments shoud be expanded to 11. And the 11th commandment shall be: Thou shalt not molest little boys.

The entire Bible, from front to back, is concerned with releasing Adam (Man) from his sentence of death, from his imprisonment in the world of the dead, which is "beneath", and restoring him to his former estate in the world of the living which is "above." The Bible (despite its apparent diversity and variety of men who wrote it down) is concerning the plan of God to free man from the captivity he brought upon himself. And man (Adam) has no idea or notion of the sacrifice that God has made for man's redemption -- to free man from the captivity that he works so hard at to retain.
I used to think the Bible referred to three different "lands." I thought those "lands" were Heaven, Earth, and Hell. But I was wrong. Its message concerns only two "lands," the one beneath and the one above.
Hell is described as a place where the "worm" does not die. [Mark 9:48] The worm or maggot signifies decay and certainly never dies in the world of decay. Every inhabitant in the world of the dead feeds on death. Nothing can exist in the underworld without the destruction of something else that grows or moves whether it be a cow, a lamb, a head of cabbage, or a blade of grass. Even the blade of grass feeds on the destruction of others for it cannot grow without decaying organic matter in the soil.
The world beneath, our world, is the "underworld." It is the place where man fell to when he fell. It is a place of torment, a place for the dead. Those who dwell in it know nothing; they do not know whom they are, why they're here, where they came from, or where they are going. In Hell there is no safe place. Thus the story of salvation in the Scriptures refers to our escape from our many sojourns in this world.

I think the theme was going to be the millennium, but another religion took it. I think they settled on "The Dark Ages" But I'm not positive

Theme? All the "chapters" were voted into the current book by the Nicene Council. I haven't seen any rhyme or reason from that action.

The theme is that God created everything, and then humans fell away from Him, and the rest is the story of promised redemption for humans.
