Syllabus for: The Book of Beginnings 3
Isaiah 46:9-10
NLT -"9 Remember the things I have done in the past.
For I alone am God!
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 Only I can tell you the future
before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
for I do whatever I wish.
11...I have said what I would do,
and I will do it."
James 1:16 & 17
NLT -"16 So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.17 Whatever is good
and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in
the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. 18 He chose to
give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his
prized possession."
Mess. B. "16-18So, my very dear friends, don't get thrown off course. Every
desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light
cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God,
nothing two-faced, nothing fickle. He brought us to life using the true Word,
showing us off as the crown of all his creatures."
Because God was ever mindful over His new creation, His first creation
became envious...James 3:13-16
NLT - "16 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find
disorder and evil of every kind."
New Life Trans. -"16 Wherever you find jealousy and fighting, there will be trouble
and every other kind of wrong-doing."
So here you can see what gave birth to evil in a perfect universe that was
given birth to by Perfection Himself! It didn't happen overnight, no more
than creation itself happened instantaneously.
Romans 1:20
Contemporary Bible - "20 God's eternal power and character cannot be seen.
But from the beginning of creation, God has shown what these are like by all he has made."
New Life Version - "20 Men cannot say they do not know about God. From the beginning
of the world, men could see what God is like through the things He has made."
It takes time to produce a baby. It takes time to produce a harvest. It takes
time to develop an idea. It takes a thought, an idea, seed....time for that seed
to grow to its fullness where it can produce without what has been growing within.
Matthew 12:33-35
New Life trans. -"34 You family of snakes! How can you say good things when you are
sinful? The mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man will speak good things
because of the good in him. A bad man will speak bad things because of the sin in him."
Holman Christian Standard bible - "34 Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things
when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. 35 A good
man produces good things from his storeroom of good, and an evil man produces evil
things from his storeroom of evil."
Amplified Bible -"34You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you
are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the
heart the mouth speaks.
What appears outside of you, is a mirrored imaged of what's inside of you..
a thought, a desire, a plan, a seed taking shape over a period of time!
What has happened is that the ground or inside of a person cannot contain
what is being produced any longer and it gets bigger than the Being. A big
bang is the result! In Gen. 1:1 -3...we have 3 big bangs.
1. In verse 1 you have God producing all that is within Him
2. In verse 2 you have Lucifer (the Anointed or empowered cherub)
producing all that is within him.
3. In verse 3 you have God producing once again what is within Him.
It took a lot less time than the first because He never changes! And
neither did what was within.
Hebrews 11:3 Things outside didn't come into existence by an outward force
but an inward one.
Contemporary Version - "3 Because of our faith, we know that the world was made
at God's command. We also know that what can be seen was made out of what
cannot be seen.
When I look at you and you look at me..the only things that can't be seen
are what are very real and alive on the inside of us.
Matthew 15:10 & 11, 18 & 19 What is produced outside of a person is
what has been allowed to well up in an individual over a process of time.
This is why Jesus said this - Matthew 15:13 How? By your spending
time in relationship with Him and His Word.
Hebrews 12:2 Amplified Bible
2 "Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the
Source of our faith ... and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]."
And how do we look to Jesus today? By looking at His Word and
hanging onto it in our heart...when we do that we will produce all that
is "very good" like God.
Genesis 1:1-4 Why would God have to divide "The Light"
from "The darkness" ? 1 John 1:5
On the first day of creation two friends were separated forever by an act of
envy. What should have happened? Proverbs 17:17a
Lucifer should have realized that even though God's heart's desire was to
produce offspring " that Love loved him no less " and wanted to love him
forever!
Which is really the ultimate end of all our heart's desires... to love and be loved
is the answer to all our needs, hopes, dreams, wishes and desires. It's when
you have it all! That was God's plan from the very beginning for all of us!
It still is!
Why is the earth in the condition that it's in right now: Look at it from the
Amp. Bible - Jesus speaking:
Matthew 24:12 (talking about the days in which we live) "And the love of the great body
of people will grow cold."
Which is why Jesus said this to His people: John 13:34
