Syllabus for: The Book of Beginnings
Isaiah 46:8- 10
Mess. Bible: 5-7 "So to whom will you compare me, the Incomparable?
Can you picture me without reducing me?
People with a lot of money
hire craftsmen to make them gods.
The artisan delivers the god,
and they kneel and worship it!
They carry it around in holy parades,
then take it home and put it on a shelf.
And there it sits, day in and day out,
a dependable god, always right where you put it.
Say anything you want to it, it never talks back. (John 10:15,16 & 27)
Of course, it never does anything either! (and that's how some see God)
(Acts 17:29 & 30)
8-11 "Think about this. Wrap your minds around it.
This is serious business, rebels.(wrong doers- KJ) Take it to heart.
Remember your history,
your long and rich history.
I am God, the only God you've had or ever will have—
incomparable, irreplaceable—
From the very beginning
telling you what the ending will be,
All along letting you in
on what is going to happen,
Assuring you, 'I'm in this for the long haul,
I'll do exactly what I set out to do,'
So to find God's heart desire for man we need to go back to page one!
Some say that we are not suppose to understand this book - then why write it?
Proverbs 28:5
Contemporary English Version of 2 Timothy 3:16 "Everything in the Scriptures is
God's Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting
them and showing them how to live." 2 Timothy 3:16
How important is the Word of God to us? Proverbs 28:9
New Living trans.: "9 God detests the prayers
of a person who ignores the law."
Genesis 1:1
"The Heaven": place where God rules Rev. 4:2 /Acts 7:49 & 50
Earth was created to be man's training ground. The place where
God's creation would grow up and choose to become like Him.
New Living Trans. of Romans 8:29 "For God knew his people in advance, and he
chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among
many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to
him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having
given them right standing, he gave them his glory."
Isaiah 43:7
New Living trans.: "7 Bring all who claim me as their God,
for I have made them for my glory.
It was I who created them.’”
This was the reason for Genesis 1:2
Mess. Bible: 2 "Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky
blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.
Earth became a mirrored image of the one that had just sinned: a living hell
where there was no air, no love, no light, a empty wasteland, void of God's life.
What could be seen is still at the central core of this planet. Matthew 12:40
Could God have made the earth this way? Genesis 1:31/James 1:17-18
The word "darkness" refers to all that God is not, embodied in the being
of Satan (once called Lucifer- light bearer or light bringer, daystar, son of
the morning). God is Light!
This being was God's own personal guardian. 1 John 1:5/Ephes. 6:12
Amplified Bible: 12 "For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only
with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against
[the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the
spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere."
Isaiah 14:12
Amplified B.: 12How have you fallen from heaven, O light-bringer and daystar,
son of the morning! How you have been cut down to the ground..."
Look again at Isaiah 14:12 & 13... and see how Lucifer fell....For you have
said in your heart....and out of it's abundance something came forth....
what was in there. He opened his envelope and produced hell in which
he is master over. He had the ability to do this:
Ezekiel 28:14a
NLT 12-15 “You were the model of perfection,
full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty.
13 You were in Eden,
the garden of God.
Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone
red carnelian, pale-green peridot, white moonstone,
blue-green beryl, onyx, green jasper,
blue lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald—
all beautifully crafted for you
and set in the finest gold.
They were given to you
on the day you were created.
14 I ordained and anointed you
as the mighty angelic guardian.[c]
You had access to the holy mountain of God
and walked among the stones of fire.
15 “You were blameless in all you did
from the day you were created
until the day evil was found in you."
When Satan spoke...what was in him was
released into the earth through the words
in which he spoke....the envelope opened or
the womb giving birth to something....
and what was that something? the same kinds of
things that come from him now.. John 10:10
