Genesis The Book of Beginnings Traces the origins

Genesis The Book of Beginnings Traces the origins of God’s people from creation to Egypt

Genesis 1 -11 Genesis 12 -50 Events Predominant People Predominant – Creation – Fall – Flood – Tower of Babel – Abraham – Isaac – Jacob – Joseph Race as a whole Family of Abraham Over 2000 years 250 years

The Creation - millions of years ago (? ? B. C. ) By His Word, God created all things: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1: 1 -3 King James Version). The creation of the heavens and the earth are also recorded in Genesis chapter 1: 1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ” When was the beginning? Well, we are not told exactly when that was. Geologists confirm that the earth is millions of years old

The Destruction of the “World that Was” – thousands of years ago (? ? B. C. ) Verse two of Genesis chapter one tells us that the earth became destroyed after the creation: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the water. ” The word “was” in verse two should be translated as the word “became. ” And the words “without form” would be better translated as “waste, or desolate. ” Thus, God created the heavens and the earth billions of years ago and the earth later became wasted or desolate. This desolation happened when God destroyed the world that then was because of the Satan’s rebellion in that first age (Ezekiel 28). This great destruction is also known in part as the ice ages and is recorded in the II Book of Peter 3: 5 -6; “For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. ” God does not create anything void and without form (Isaiah 45: 18), it became that way.

Genesis 1 Genesis 2 The heavens and the Creation of the man earth are created in six and woman (no time days. elementioned). Man in his cosmic Man as central to setting God’s purpose Panorama of creation Detailed focus on one as a whole aspect of creation Centers on God Centers on man as the creating the heavens crowning act of God’s and the earth creation

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die. “ (Genesis 2: 16 -17)

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. (Genesis 3: 6)

THE FALL the results from taking and eating the forbidden fruit

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel. (Genesis 3: 15)

The Flood – (2348 B. C. ) Noah Shem Ham Japheth

Genesis 11: 1 -2 Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words. 2 It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

Genesis 11: 3 -4 They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. ” And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar. 4 They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth. ”

Genesis 11: 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

The Daughters of Zelophehad were five sisters who lived during the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, and who raised before Moses the case of a woman's right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male heir in the family. Zelophehad's daughters argued that were they not to inherit, then Zelophehad's name would be lost to his clan. (Num. 27: 4. ) Moses took their case to God. (Num. 27: 5. ) God told Moses that the plea of Zelophehad's daughters was just, and that they should be granted their father's hereditary holding. (Num. 27: 6– 7. )

The Daughters of Zelophehad … The Story Continues … Later, the family heads of the clan of Manasseh's grandson Gilead appealed to Moses and the chieftains, arguing that if Zelophehad's daughters married men from another Israelite tribe, then their share would be lost to the tribe of Manasseh and be added to the portion of the tribe into which they married. (Num. 36: 1– 3. ) So Moses, at God's bidding, instructed the Israelites that the plea of the tribal leaders was just and that Zelophehad's daughters could marry anyone they wished, but only among the men of the tribe of Manasseh. (Num. 36: 5– 6. ) Zelophehad's daughters did as God had commanded Moses, and they each married sons of their uncles. (Num. 36: 10– 11. ) When the Israelites entered the land, Zelophehad's daughters appeared before Eleazer the priest, Joshua (who by then had assumed leadership from Moses), and the chieftains, reminding them that God had commanded Moses to grant them a portion among their kinsmen, and Zelophehad's daughters received a portion in the holdings of Manasseh on the west side of the Jordan River.

THE BASIC FACT There is one God Whom we should love fully Shema Yisrael -- "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" -- is perhaps the most famous of all Jewish sayings. The Shema is a declaration of faith, a pledge of allegiance to One God. It is said upon arising in the morning and upon going to sleep at night. It is said when praising God and when beseeching Him. It is the first prayer that a Jewish child is taught to say. It is the last words a Jew says prior to death. Originally, the Shema consisted only of one verse: Deut. 6: 4. The recitation of the Shema in the liturgy, however, consists of three portions: Deut. 6: 4 -9, 11: 13 -21, and Numbers 15: 37 -41. The three portions relate to central issues of Jewish belief.

THE BASIC TRUTH By His power and grace God is faithful to bring us out of bondage to sin into an inheritance of life Deuteronomy 6: 23 (New International Version) 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers. Romans 8: 1 -2 (New International Version) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

THE BASIC REQUIREMENT Obedience Deuteronomy 10: 12 -13 (New International Version) 12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? John 14: 21 -23 (New International Version) 21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. " 22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world? " 23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

THE BASIC PLEDGE God pledges His faithfulness to His promises Deuteronomy 4: 27 -31 (New International Version) 27 The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. 31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath. Deuteronomy 29: 12 -13 (New International Version) 12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the LORD your God, a covenant the LORD is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, 13 to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
