It was
probably Moses who wrote the Book of Genesis.
This Book showed that God gave responsibility to mankind.
The Bible
divides heavens into 3 parts:
1.
First heaven is up to the clouds.
2.
Second heaven is up to the stars.
3.
Third heaven the Almighty habitation of the
throne of God.
Man has gone
to the first and second heavens, but no one can reach the third heaven. The Book of Revelation showed that in the
throne of God there is no evil. God is
the beginning. We have a beginning and
we will see the end. God is the first
and the last. Jesus is also in Genesis
chapter 1 & 2. Jesus was there and
He will be there at the end. Revelation
1:8 Jesus said He is the Alpha and Omega.
His second coming will mark the end.
Jesus said He is with the church at the end of the world. He will come in the clouds, and mark the
end. Matt 28:20 He will be with us at
the end of the world.
The Trinity in Genesis
a)
God the Father in Creation
b)
God the Son in redemption and salvation
c)
God the Holy Spirit in regeneration
a)
God
Created heaven and earth, Vs 1 & Vs 2
b)
God the Son in redemption and salvation. Jesus is the second Adam, He imparts life to
all believers. God the Son in salvation,
He came to die for us. God created
everything including sciences. The Bible
says fools say there is no God.
God created
7 natural laws:
1.
Astronomy
– day and night. Vs 3 – Vs 5. Note it is no astrology like what it has been
practice to determine the fate of individual according to the movements of the
stars. Christians do not believe in
this.
2.
Meterology
– the weather Vs 14 God created the seasons too.
3.
Geography
– Vs 9 God created dry land and seas.
4.
Botany
– Vs 11- 12
5.
Zoology
– Vs 21 – 25
6.
Humanity
– Vs 26 – 27
7.
Population
– Vs 28 – 31 be fruitful increase in numbers and filled the earth.
Spiritual Laws of light and darkness
Light and
darkness created by God. There are the
hearts of Jesus’ Gospel. Here we are referring
to spiritual light and darkness. Eph
5:11, talks about fruitlessness of darkness.
Jesus said out body can be full of darkness. People like darkness, John 3:19. This is because man’s deeds are evil. John 8:12 Jesus said He is the light and who
ever follows Him will not see darkness.
Revelation 16:10, plugging into
darkness of evil people. Jesus is the
light John 1:9. The light Jesus spoke
about is not the direct light of the sun, but the reflection of moon
light. When we follow Jesus and walk in
His ways. We “reflect” His ways as we
obey Him. Jesus brought us out of
darkness Colossians 1:13. Let our light
shine Matt 5:14, 16. We are to walk in
the light and have fellowship with one another 1 John 1:7.
