Book Of Genesis
Summary: Our beginning it starts as a symphony of creation. Genesis tells the story of this song and if matched up to science the poem that is Genesis matches. There are many argument over time and evolution but putting that all aside and enjoying the mystery of creation and the meaning of the Hebrew words will delight you mind to even greater mysteries of God and his love. From Adam and Eve to Joseph this is the story of the forefathers of faith. Filled with mighty men, a flood, Pharaohs, kings, battles, injustice and reconciliation we get a raw look at men, faith, their mistakes and God mercy despite our bad decisions. Genesis is more then the beginning it is the a grand adventure.
Things I Noticed:
1. Spirit of the God was hovering over the waters.
2. The God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
3. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
4. But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
5. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will like God, knowing good and evil.
6. Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.
7. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. (Angels making babies with women)
8. And God made the wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
9. The intention of man's heart is evil from his youth.
10. I have set my bow over the cloud, and it shall be a sign of covenant between me and you. (A rainbow is God's very own bow.)
11. Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord... The beginning of his kingdom was Babel.
12. Nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. (When man put his mind to it nothing is impossible. God made us Limitless.)
13. They went forth together from Ur of the hardens to go into the Land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there. (Terah Abram's father stopped early of the promise.)
14. I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you. (A promise of Saul, David and Solomon. Ultimately Jesus the King of Kings.)
15. Abraham took Ishmael his son... and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.
16. Before I finished speaking in my heart. (Silent prayer)
17. Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. (After Sarah died he remarried)
18. Jacob was a quiet man.
19. Esau despised his birthright.
20. This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of Heaven.
21. Name of that place Bethel.
22. Rachel stole her father's household gods. (This was a sign of land rights and inheritance in those times)
23. "I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiple"
24. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.
25. Judah is a Lion cub.
26. Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning devouring the prey and at evening dividing the spoils.
27. Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embaled Israel. (Israel was mummified think on that and its implications.)
28. As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.
29. Joseph died, being 110 years old. They embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. (They also mummified Joseph.)
Meeting Paul and seeing Peter give great testimony to Jesus has been incredible. I have even meet a man of my name who was accused of turning the world upside down. Still the Journey of the acts of the Church continues. Luke and I have moved to also discussing Exodus and the grand miracles the God showed his people long ago. It is also the book the foreshadows Jesus triumph over the ruler of this world. Anyway there will be more on these things later. Till then, Read up, Post up, and Shalom.
