The keys to studying books like Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are to see the story behind the story, to study it for the reality that it presented and the reality that it foreshadowed. And then finally we must study it to find yourself in the story. All three of these make the story real. […]

There is a contextual problem with interpreting the “sons of God” as angels in Genesis 6:4, and that is because of the contextual lineage flow of the previous chapters. Chapter 4 – Lineage of Cain – By their descriptions, they were not godly. Chapter 5 – Lineage of Seth – It was in the lifetime […]

“(I)n this first, basal pronouncement of Scripture there is a denial of all the principal false philosophies which men have propounded.” “In the beginning God” – that denies Atheism with its doctrine of no God. “In the beginning God” – that denies Polytheism with its doctrine of many gods. “In the beginning God created” – […]

GENESIS AND REVELATION or First Things First, Last Things Last Similarities Both have a new beginning and a new order. Both have tree of life, the river, the bride, and the walk of God with man.

There is a spiritual completeness about the Pentateuch. Its five parts not only give us a consecutive history covering the first two thousand five hundred years of human history; they constitute a progressive spiritual unity, setting forth, in their main features, what has been described as “the order of the experience of the people of […]

Considering the remarkable similarities between the beginnings of Exodus and Matthew – birth stories, driven to the wilderness, water (well and baptism), fire (bush and baptism), do you think there is a tie (pun intended) between God telling Moses to take off his sandals because he is standing on holy ground (Exodus 3.5-6), and John […]

Human history looks back, but divine history looks forward. The point of my little paradox is that what God did in the past, foreshadowed what He planned for the future. Therefore the future existed as a plan before the past became a reality. 1 Corinthians 2:7 HCSB On the contrary, we speak God’s hidden wisdom […]

Why was Genesis written? I would like to suggest three reasons. First, to satisfy man’s natural curiosity – “Where did I come from?” Second, to put man into perspective – we are created for God – “Why do I exist?” And third, to combat false concepts of creation’s origin – “Who is the true God?” […]

Exodus 20:7 NASB “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. Exodus 20:7 HCSB Do not misuse the name of the LORD your God, because the LORD will punish anyone who misuses His name. Exodus 20:7 […]
