Bible Question: Why are only six people singled out from the whole human race during the 2,000 years of Genesis? |
Bible Answer: Hello Hopefilled Scripture shows us God's plan of redemption. Genesis specifically speaks of beginnings (beginning of the world to the beginning of the Israelite nate). Only those central to the theme would be expected. Genesis ends up being divided into four events (chap 1-11 -- Creation, Fall, Flood, Scattering of nations) and four people (chap 12-50 -- Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph). Steve |
