- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. We want to do a survey, and we're going to start with the book of Genesis. The book of Genesis was written by Moses, and this is the first book in both the
- 00:23
- Jewish and Christian Bibles. When we look at the book of Genesis, it is a book of beginnings.
- 00:30
- We start with the beginning of the world, of all of the universe. It starts with the creation, and starting with creation, we end up seeing that we have the beginning of creation, the beginning of plant life.
- 00:42
- We see the beginning of animal life. We see the beginning of man, Adam and Eve, as they are created.
- 00:50
- It then goes into seeing the beginning of sin, when man and woman violate
- 00:57
- God's law. But then from there, we end up going to the beginning of the spreading and dispersing of languages, after this great worldwide flood.
- 01:07
- And now we have the beginning of languages, and the spreading of mankind across the globe.
- 01:12
- But the central part of much of the book of Genesis is the beginning of the nation of Israel.
- 01:21
- Remembering that Genesis would have been written after Israel comes out of Egypt by Moses, before they go into the
- 01:28
- Promised Land. And this is a record that he gives to the people of Israel. So it is a record of the beginnings of the children of Abraham.
- 01:38
- And you end up having Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, who is called
- 01:43
- Israel, and his 12 sons. And it ends up being the beginning of the nation of Israel. So Genesis would be best known as the book of beginnings.
