Genesis 12
Genesis 10 & 11
So you want to know who your ancestors are? Here it is! It is amazing the details that are included in this section of Genesis. And we also get another insight into the hearts of humans and there god issues! Have you ever wanted to be the main man? The top dog? The captain of the team? Pride can be quite a stumbling block in our lives. What am I prideful about today?
Genesis 8 & 9
Chapters 8 & 9 embark on a detailed description of Noah and God's relationship after the world wide flood! It's really interesting how detailed these chapters are! When all seems to be going good, we see the depth of problems with the human condition after the fall of mankind from the Garden of Eden. Even after humans are judged in the flood the sin that lived in them continues in the line of Noah! How will God redeem fallen man? This is the continued theme of the Bible.
Genesis 6 & 7
Noah's flood is one of greatest events known worldwide! As the population of the world is increasing and industry booms, the human condition grows loveless and violent towards others. How do you think of others? What is your heart like? Are you filled with hate?
Genesis 5
Genesis 4
Genesis 3
Genesis 1 & 2
Genesis! Probably the most influential book in the world! There are many cultures that have there genesis stories, but this one is quite unique on multiple levels. Let's read through the book together and find it's themes and how it can relate to our own lives! Genesis 1 & 2 gives us a beginning to the things we can see, hear, touch & taste. These chapters also start with God! This was quite strange coming from my atheistic upbringing and culture.
REVELATION 21 & 22
The New Jerusalem. It amazes me such a small place is the theme of the end of the Bible. But this is no ordinary Jerusalem! In this chapter we see a fulfillment of the entire Biblical texts combined! In this section it now happens that God is dwelling with His people! No more sin, no more pain, no more tears! Humans finally are in a rightful place in their relationship with God. Thank God!
REVELATION 19-20
An amazing interlude takes place in chapter 19! A song is sung by many in heaven before the throne of God. As songs are sung, a wedding is about to take place. God will be united with his creation in the Marriage Super of the Lamb. God's people are made Holy and now can dwell with a Holy God. But in the meantime...the world's governments join together to fight against the Lamb and his people!
