The Book of GENESIS covers more years of history than the rest of the Bible put together, from Creation to approximately 1800 BC. GENESIS was written to the generation of the Exodus. Noting some key Chapters 12 “The Call of Abraham and the giving of the Abrahamic Covenant; 1-2 The Creation; 3 The Fall; 6-8 The Flood; 10-11 The Table of the Nations and the Tower of Babel; 15 The Ratification of the Abrahamic Covenant; 18-19 Sodom and Gomorrah; 22 Abraham offers Isaac; and 25 Esau sells his birthright.
The Book of Book of BEGINNINGS OF: The Universe 1:1”In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Vs. 2- The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water, spoke light into existence, divided the day from darkness, created the firmament in the midst of the waters and divided the waters from the waters. He called the firmament Heaven.” Read verse 9-10; Life Chapter 1:10- 31 which includes “And God called the dry land Earth, gathered the waters calling seas, earth brough forth grass, herb yielding seed, fruit, trees; the sun, moon and stars become visible; animal life and every living creature in the seas.” Man 1:26-31 includes “God created man in His own image/likeness with blessing, dominion and instructions. God well pleased with everything He had made. Chapter 2:7 describes God creative work in forming man to become a living soul & 2:21-22 describes how God created woman;”
Sin and Sin Nature Chapter 3 heading begins with “The temptation of Eve: the implied doubt of the benevolence (good will) of God. Verse 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Note: The temptation of Eve adding to the Word of God “Not to touch” verses 2-3. Now verses 4-6 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Read 5-10. Also see John 8:44. “The temptation of Eve-the appeal to pride verse 5. Then the temptation of Eve and the fall verse 6; Death Chapter 3:19 The LORD God is now talking to Adam. “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
Messianic Prophecies 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” God’s judgment of satan and sin. This is the prophecy of the Seed of the woman, a virgin Born Savior. God promise to supernaturally create life from a woman so the Savior Jesus/Yeshua will be born without a sin nature and as the Son of God, rather than as the son of Adam (Isa 7:14; Jer 31:22); False Religion chapters 4:26 “And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.” 11:4 ”And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth;” Murder C:hapter 4:8 “And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him;”
Marriage and the Family Chapter 2:23-25 “And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed; ”Human Government Chapter 10:1-11:5 “Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. Gomer-Father of the Cimmerians and Germanic peoples.” See 10:2.-11. The sons of Ham 10:6-20. For more continue to read Genesis;
Jewish People Chapter 12:7 “And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him; Suffering Chapter 3:16-19 “Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return;” Sacrifice chapters 3:21 “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” An innocent lamb sacrifice to make the clothes to keep Adam and Eve warm” in which “This seed of thought is the foundation for the entire plan of redemption by grace through faith in the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ.” Chapter 4:4 “And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering;”
Nations & Language Highlights of Chapter 10:8-20. “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.”
Now let us dive into some of the BEGINNINGS OF: The Universe a perfect world God-the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit created for us. To know our God’s Holy dwelling place in the 3rd Heaven. Despite the many miles away from earth are beyond our comprehension. Yet an Omnipresent God-the Holy Spirit living in our hearts not even a second away. Then it’s amazing to look up at the skies, its beauty, the mixture of the clouds then the mighty seas/oceans, the flowers, trees and more. Forgive us LORD for the climate crisis. Failure to exercise good stewardship, dominion over Earth. Help us O LORD to get it right.
Death: Adam and Eve lived in the perfect “Garden” everything they needed. Still not satisfied. How many of us are like Adam and Eve? Have the comforts of a decent living and the ability to maintain household/family despite high costs. Seems to desire more material stuff even though “I already have a dress like that, desire a different color. Or maybe want something else, just to have it. Are we helping others? Now if they had only remained sinless-which God foreknew impossible. He gave them and us the “Freewill to choose. Therefore sinful acts comes with a penalty to include they were put out the Garden, yet God show compassion like giving them another dwelling place, painful childbearing for Eve, work for Adam and God said, “Dust to return” death for Adam, Eve and humans from generations to generations to follow. Yet due to God’s grace and mercy His promise of the Seed [Christ, the Savior] of Abraham for all mankind has arrived. More on Christ indicated below under the BIBLE paragraph. The Father also has compassion for you and me. Think about the times He has shown His loving care.
MURDER. Cain was so mad with his brother, Abel causing his madness to rise up to the point of killing his brother, Abel in the field over jealousy. God did not accept Cain’s offering since it was not his best. God gave Cain the opportunity bring Him his best offering, but he did not. Just a reminder for many, we ought to know what makes us angry. Prior to allowing the anger to rise like Cain we ought to know our body clues before we reach the point of becoming out-of-control. Therefore use the calming techniques that you know like stop arguing, yelling and cursing. Use calming techniques where appropriate like walk away, let things calm down, engage a reasonable, respected, fair and wise third party for help if needed. Now if you have anger problems see your doctor and/or mental health professional.
Let’s note the methods satan used to tempt Eve, because he uses these same devices against us today. He comes in a disguise working best when hidden like children who hide stuff from parent to keep from being caught. Sin does not appear so sinful in our minds when we do not see the slithering serpent or hear his hiss behind the temptation. If satan draws our attention towards the pleasure of sin rather than his sinister role, he can effectively stir our desires toward sin. Satan often succeeds in having saints offending and fighting one another as he stirs division in churches and laughs while we blame one another.
Satan chooses beautiful disguises. Attractive vessels to advertise sin (2 Cor 11:13-15) to effectively bait and attract us. Think about this…..once we consider the bait with satan, we will never win a debate with satan. An example of his slickness. But once we recognize and focus on the hook (trick/scheme) we are no longer drawn toward satan snares Then satan likes to cast doubt on God’s Word, like he did Eve thinking nothing was wrong. Eve seemed not to believe Adams when he had already told her about not eating from the tree. Yet he was right there with Eve and also gave in. Today it is important that we read and study God’s Word to prevent being misguided. We know from life experience “satan always tries to make us think God is too strict, unfair or robbing us of enjoyment. Many of us were not born yesterday! Satan tries to convince us that God is not trustworthy of His plan for our lives, His promises and His warnings. He wants us to think God does not really love us or have our best interest in heart. Satan appears to our curiosity since we look to ourselves, our desires known as the lust of the flesh which is pleasant to our “Eyes” and makes us feel good. There is always peer pressure. We like to say, “God understands. He knows, I’m not perfect.” We blame others for our mistakes. It’s all their fault like Adam blamed Eve for his sin. James 4:7 says it best, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he shall flee.” Just a reminder when we slip/fall let us pick ourselves back up, ask for forgiveness and continue building our relationship with the LORD.
The Bible-GENESIS includes the actual creation of Time-a finite creation of God-the Son Jesus/Yeshua. Taken from Faith Bible Institute Volume 1. “Since God is the Creator, He is also the Lawgiver and Judge of all mankind.” Colossians 1:16-19 “For by Him [Jesus/Yeshua] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is the Head of the body, the church: who is the BEGINNING, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence which means supremacy and ultimate authority. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell.”
God’s Redemptive Plan for you and me is based on His redemptive history, love, sovereignty and righteousness that will be on display in the New Heaven and the New Earth. Revelation 22:3-4 “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him. And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads. Psalm 16:11 “For Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Blessed be the Name of the LORD! His Name is Great & Greatly to be PRAISE, AMEN! Continue love, joy and peace, Neatbooks4u
