Subject: Need feedback on Genesis? |
Bible Note: I missed your question. Let me go on a bit and you can refine your question if I miss. Genesis means beginning in Greek. Since Genesis is a Hebrew book, the Greek name was introduced in the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. It is one of the first five books written by Moses called the Pentateuch. In Genesis we find the introduction to God, the beginning of light, stars, dirt, water, birds, bugs, Homo sapiens, both male and female. The beginning of the family, murder, nations, bigamy, war, incest, prostitution and gives hope thru the promise of a redeemer in Genesis 3:15 and 49:10. I am fascinated by the Angel of the Lord, introduced in Chapter 16. He talks like God, allows worship, can do miracles and yet is never called God. Genesis is about beginnings on earth. Revelation takes many of these same themes and shows the satisfaction and completion of the thread started in Genesis. |
