It has been quiet long time that I have been in touch,
Our God is great and mighty. He does wonderful things always
We have started Bible study on the book of Genesis, How glorious and wonderful it is to study.
in short,
Introduction: Genesis means beginning. In Hebrew it is called as “Bereshith” and in Greek it is called as “genesis” in English it is called as “Genesis” meaning beginning of all things. We can see the beginning all things in Genesis. Like days, seas, trees, stars in the sky, fish in the sea, all kind of beast on the earth, men, commandments, marriage, languages, ethnic groups, tribes, nations, prophesies, covenanents, promises. Writer is Moses: God spoke to him face to face. Exo. 33:11 God revealed to him in the wilderness. Ps. 103:7, Acts. 7:37,38. Second school of thought is that Adam lived 168 years in the life of Lemech so Adam might have revealed to lemech about the creation story. Gen. 5:5,31,32. Lemech lived 95 years in the life of Shem – he might have told about the creation story. Shem lived 190 years after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Gen. 11:10-32, 12:4, 21:5, 25:26, 29:20-35, 47:9,28.
