4
The Purpose of the Pentateuch
  • Moses penned the Pentateuch to inform the
    Hebrews of their divine election and that they
    are to share with God in His redemptive work to
    save the world

5
  • The Pentateuch was originally one large Scroll
  • For convenience and practicality it was divided
    into the five present books.

  • What are 4 points that help in a correct
    interpretation?
  • What was an awesome challenge for Moses?
  • What does J-E-P-D stand for in the doc.
    Hypothesis?

7
Moses Introduction
  • Genesis 11 In the beginning God.
  • Gods existence is taken for granted. His
    existence is no more needed to be proved than an
    author of a modern book needs to prove his own
    existence.
  • BUT DOES GOD REALLY EXIST?

8
Arguments for Gods existence
  • 1. Teleological argument
  • Intelligent design
  • 2. Cosmological argument
  • Every effect has a Cause
  • 3. Ontological ARGUMENT
  • Man has an innate sense of authoritative moral
    standards
  • 4. Religious Experience
  • The soul has a longing for God, and experiences
    an answer.
  • 5. Transcendental --
  • Impossible for any rational authority to emerge
    from non intelligent matter. If one can conceive
    of a God to deny, then God exists.
    (Ps. 141)

9
IS THE BIBLE GODS WORD
  • 1. No book has such central unity
  • 2. No book has survived such dedicated enemies.
  • 3. No book has such fulfilled prophecy
  • 4. No book has had such influence upon lives and
    upon the world in general
  • 5. No book has such an aura of inspiration

10
Two Opposite Progressive Themes In Genesis that
run throughout the Bible
  • 1. Gods orderly creation reaching its climax in
    perfect Man in fellowship with his creator
  • 2. The Beginning of sin and its disintegrating
    work.
  • A. This theme demonstrates the great need for
    Gods intervention to provide the solution to
    prevent the extinction of the human race via
    moral corruption
  • 1. Thus the cleansing of the earth by flood.
  • 2. The scheme of Redemption

11
These themes involves these oppositesBlessing
(LIFE) and Cursing (DEATH)
  • BLESSING By sinless fellowship having the right
    to eat of the fruit of the tree of life.
  • CURSING By sin and breaking fellowship be
    banned from eating the fruit of the tree of life.
    The curse is a separation from the tree of life
    and suffer the penalty of sin which is death.
  • Remedy for the curse REDEMPTION To have the
    penalty of death paid for sin and the curse
    removed.

12
Jesus Gives Everyone the CHOICE OF Blessing
Cursing in the Great Commission
  • MARK 1615,16 (The Great Commisison)
  • And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
    world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
  • THE BLESSING He that believeth and is baptized
    shall be saved
  • THE CURSE but he that believeth not shall be
    damned.

13
The two themes of Blessing (Life) Cursing
(Death) will culminate at the end of Time

Rev. 216. And he said unto me, It is done. I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I
will give unto him that is athirst of the
fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He
that overcometh shall inherit all things and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8. But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone which is the second death.
14
The two themes of Blessing (Life) Cursing
(Death) will culminate at the end of Time

Rev. 221-3 And he shewed me a pure river of
water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out
of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. In the
midst of the street of it, and on either side of
the river, was there the tree of life, which bare
twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit
every month and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations. 3. And there shall
be no more curse but the throne of God and of
the Lamb shall be in it and his servants shall
serve him
15
God Promised The Gift of Redemption and the doom
of Satan in Genesis 315
  • Genesis 315 And I will put enmity between thee
    and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed
    it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise
    his heel.

16
Geographical Area of the Exodus and march to
Canaan
40 Years
17
Genesis 11IN THE BEGINNING GOD
  • INTRO. TO THE REAL GOD
  • Not the gods of Egypt or by mans creation.
  • Josh. 2414. Now therefore fear the Lord, and
    serve him in sincerity and in truth and put away
    the gods which your fathers served on the other
    side of the flood, and in Egypt and serve ye the
    Lord.

18
God Revealed by Names
  • Elohim Mighty Ones the source of all creation
    All plural powers conceived are in Him
  • LORD YHWH (Tetragrammaton) Yahweh (Jehovah)
    To be Self existing--Ex. 314-15 I AM THAT
    I AM
  • Lord Adonai Ruler or Master (Gen. 151-2)
  • Almighty God El-Shaddai (Genesis 171)
  • (lord sir used for men)

19
What About Allah? Or any other god?
The Worlds wisdom, in ignorance of spiritual
truth, says God is the same regardless of a name
-----BUT, ALLAH and JEHOVAH cannot be the same
God. They are opposites in personality and
doctrine. (Eph. 43-4 Amos 33)
20
Jehovah Versus Allah
JEHOVAH ELOHIM
ALLAH AL-Tawba 9123ff O ye
who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you
about, and let them find harshness in you, and
know that Allah is with those who keep their
duty. let them find in you hardness and know
that Allah is with those who guard (against
evil).
Mt. 544 Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute youThat ye may be the children of your
Father which is in heaven Gal. 610. As we have
therefore oppor-tunity, let us do good unto all
men,
These cannot be the Same God unless God is
schizophrenic
21
Do Muslims believe that Jesus was the son of
God?
"Say "God is Unique! God, the Source of
everything. He has not fathered anyone nor was
He fathered, and there is nothing comparable to
Him!" (Quran 1121-4).
The Quran states "Such was Jesus, the son of
Mary it is a statement of truth, about which
they vainly dispute. It is not befitting to the
majesty of God, that He should beget a son. Glory
be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only
says to it, 'Be' and it is" (Qur'an 9 34-35).

  • THE JUST THE UNJUST
  • THE BLESSING THE CURSE
  • LOVE HATE
  • RELATIONSHIP SEPARATION
  • LIFE DEATH

48
Elohim Made Man A Free Moral Agent with A Choice
  • 19. I call heaven and earth to record this day
    against you, that I have set before you life and
    death, blessing and cursing therefore choose
    life, that both thou and thy seed may live
  • 20. That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and
    that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou
    mayest cleave unto him for he is thy life, and
    the length of thy days that thou mayest dwell in
    the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers,
    to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

49
24. No man can serve two masters for either he
will hate the one, and love the other or else he
will hold to one, and despise the other.
  • THE GOOD THE EVIL
  • THE TRUTH THE LIE
  • THE RIGHT THE WRONG
  • THE JUST THE UNJUST
  • THE BLESSING THE CURSE
  • LOVE HATE
  • RELATIONSHIP SEPARATION
  • LIGHT DARKNESS

51
GENESIS 12 A DARK VOID A WASTE WITHOUT
INTELLIGENT FORM AND LIFEANY PLACE IS LIKE
THIS WHEN IT IS WITHOUT GOD..EVEN THE SOUL OF
MAN

ELOHIM
52
BUT ELOHIMS (THE MIGHTY ONES) WORD BROUGHT
LIGHT AND DISPELED THE DARKNESS
  • 13. THE EMIGHTY ONES said, Let there be light
  • and there was light.

The Word is Jesus Who is the Light of the World
JOHN 812
53
Jesus is the word of light in the world
  • 12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I
    am the light of the world he that followeth me
    shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the
    light of life.
  • The WORD in the spirit became the word in the
    flesh. Jesus became THE EMBODIED WORD OF
    GOD---HEBREWS 11
  • Acts 1326. Men and brethren, children of the
    stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth
    God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
  • JESUS MEANS SALVATION

54
JESUS AS THE WORD WAS IN THE BEGINNING
  • John 1 1. In the beginning was the Word, and
    the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
  • 2. The same was in the beginning with God.
  • 3. All things were made by him and without him
    was not any thing made that was made.
  • 4. In him was life and the life was the light
    of men.
  • 5. And the light shineth in darkness and the
    darkness comprehended it not.

55
JESUS was the SPIRITUAL Creating WORD God
  • Colossians 115. Who is the image of the
    invisible God, the firstborn of every creature
  • 16. For by him were all things created, that
    are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
    invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,
    or principalities, or powers all things were
    created by him, and for him
  • 17. And he is before all things, and by him all
    things consist.
  • NOW WE CAN UNDERSTAND BETTER WHY THE PLURAL
    ELOHIM APPEARS IN GENESIS ONE

56
Life follows the light.
  • John 14. In him was life and the life was the
    light of men.
  • 5. And the light shineth in darkness and the
    darkness comprehended it not.
  • (COULD NOT ARREST IT)

57
Light is the product of the spoken Word and life
is the product of that Light
  • I John 11. That which was from the beginning,
    which we have heard, which we have seen with our
    eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands
    have handled, of the Word of life
  • 2. (For the life was manifested, and we have
    seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that
    eternal life, which was with the Father, and was
    manifested unto us)

58
Fellowship with God and each Believer depends
upon Receiving the declared word of light and
letting your light shine
  • I John 133. That which we have seen and heard
    declare we unto you, that ye also may have
    fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is
    with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
  • Mt. 516. Let your light so shine before men,
    that they may see your good works, and glorify
    your Father which is in heaven.

59
Light, life, and cleansing blood eternal life.
These all imply faith and obedience
  • 1 JOHN 15. This then is the message which we
    have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God
    is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
  • 6. If we say that we have fellowship with him,
    and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the
    truth
  • 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
    light, we have fellowship one with another, and
    the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
    from all sin.
  • 8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
    ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
  • 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
    just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us
    from all unrighteousness.

60
OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD THE WORD WILL DETERMINE OUR
JUDGMENT.
  • John 831. Then said Jesus to those Jews which
    believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then
    are ye my disciples indeed
  • John 12 48. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth
    not my words, hath one that judgeth him the word
    that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in
    the last day.

61
GEN. 11------IN THE BEGINNING
  • THE INITIAL TIME
  • OF WHICH ALL THINGS IN MOSES RECORD WILL
    FOLLOW.
  • GOD WAS THERE WHY IS GOD ETERNAL LIFE?
  • WHEN WILL WE ENJOY ETERNAL LIFE?
  • An INTERVAL IN THE DIVINE EXISTENCE WHEN ELOHIM
    BEGAN HIS ORDERLY WORK
    OF CREATING THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.

62
IN THE BEGINNING ELOHIM The Record uses various
terms.
  • ELOHIM trans. God. Heb. Plural of El.
    Appears over 200 times in Genesis, 30 in Gen. 1.
  • Its meaning is Mighty Ones Used as the creative
    Godsfrom whom are all things.
  • Plural is used not as many Gods, but as the all
    inclusive power of one God.
  • Some have suggested that the plural form is only
    an editorial plural.
  • Used exclusively UNTIL Gen. 24

63
SOME ASPECTS OF GOD
  • GOD IS SPIRIT (dwells in the unseen realm)
  • 12The spirit of God moved on the face of the
    waters. RSV
  • 126 Man was made in the image of Elohim.
  • Jn. 424 God is Spirit.
  • SPIRIT IS UNLIMITED BY TIME OR SPACE
  • Ps. 10224- Thou art the same, years have no
    end.
  • Ps. 139 Gods Spirit is everywhere
  • Man cannot be omnipresent phy. , but almost can
    mentally

64
GOD IS TIMELESS
  • Eccl. 311. He hath made every thing beautiful
    in his time also he hath set the world in their
    heart, so that no man can find out the work that
    God maketh from the beginning to the end.
  • Man can think about time before he was born, and
    the time after deathbut thats all.
  • Jesus identified Himself with the eternal I AM
    The bread, way, truth, life, door, shepherd,
    resurrection, vine., light., and climaxed it with
    before Abraham was, I AM. Jn. 858

Thoughts on the Eternalness of God and Man
  • Why can a manufacturers guarantee be extended to
    longer periods over the years?
  • What if he could produce a perfect product?
  • Why is man living longer than a century ago?
  • What prevents man from living for ever?
  • What if his imperfections were removed?

66
GOD IS ALL PERCEPTIVE
  • Ps. 1392. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine
    uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
    3. Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
    and art acquainted with all my ways. 4. For
    there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O
    Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5. Thou hast
    beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand
    upon me.
  • 6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me it
    is high, I cannot attain unto it.

67
GOD IS ALL PERCEPTIVE
  • 7. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or
    whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8. If I
    ascend up into heaven, thou art there if I make
    my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
  • 12. Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But
    the night shineth as the day The darkness and
    the light are both alike to thee.
  • 13. For thou didst form my inward parts Thou
    didst cover me in my mother's womb.

68
GOD IS LOVE--MERCY
  • GOD IS LOVE (1 John. 416)
  • TOTAL SELFLESS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF MAN
  • HIS LOVE IS EXPRESSED IN GENEROUS MERCY (2 CHRON.
    513)
  • GOD HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATING THIS SINCE THE
    BEGINNINGOUR STUDY IN THE PENTATEUCH IS THE
    VESTIBULE OF THAT DEMONSTRATION

69
  • Knew Noah among Millions
  • Knew of Hagar alone in the wilderness. Gen 16
  • KN ows You
  • Knows every prayer (Phil. 46 Jms. 15)
  • Knows every deed (Matt. 1042)
  • The hairs on ones head and every sparrow that
    falls (Mt. 1031-32)
  • Knows the thoughts and the intents of our heart
    (Heb. 412)
  • WHEN WE REALIZE ALL THIS ABOUT GOD AS OMIPRESENT
    IN SPIRIT WE WILL INCREASINGLY BECOME AWARE OF
    HIS AWESOME POWER OVER MANS LIFE.

70
YAHWEH is introduced in Genesis 24
  • It is translated LORD. (Large cap, small caps)
  • Extremely sacred, not to be pronounced
  • It is translated Jehovah in the ASV
  • It is translated eternal in Moffatts Trs.
  • TO BE THE SELF EXISTING ONE
  • I AM THAT I AM EX. 314. Isa. 4311
  • ETERNAL IS NOT MERE LONGEVITY, BUT QUALITY
  • QUALITY IS THE ESSENCE OF LONGEVITY
  • Used in emphasis of the covenant aspect of the
    Godhead.

71
THE ESSENCE OF YAHWEH OR JEHOVAH IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT IS
  • He is the God of promise. He is able to keep His
    promise regardless of any sinful Satanic
    consequences that happen to come along.

72
ANOTHER NAME FOR GOD ADONAI GEN. 152
  • TRANS. IN KJV RSV AS Lord (Capital L with the
    rest in lower caseto be distinguished from
    lords, all lower case, which refers to men)
  • Adonai means Rulers
  • Those who walked by faith would be submissive to
    God as Ruler or Master

73
Genesis 15 18 is a good example of use in KJV,
NKJV RSV
  • 15 1. After these things the word of the LORD
    came unto Abram 2. And Abram said, Lord God,
    what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless,
    and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of
    Damascus?
  • 4. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto
    him,
  • 8. And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know
    that I shall inherit it?
  • 1812. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself,
    saying, After I am waxed old shall I have
    pleasure, my lord being old also?
  • 13. And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore
    did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear
    a child, which am old?
  • 14. Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the
    time appointed I will return unto thee, according
    to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

74
ANOTHER NAME El Shadday Shad dah
ee Almighty God
  • Unlimited power, omnipotent
  • 171. And when Abram was ninety years old and
    nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto
    him, I am the Almighty God walk before me, and
    be thou perfect.

75
B. IN THE BEGINNING ELOHIM CREATED THE HEAVENS
AND THE EARTH
THE EYE IS LIMITED TO ITS MAXIMUM RANGE THEREFORE
MAN CANNOT REDUCE GOD TO ITS LIMITS
At the end of the visible is the spiritual---
God 2 COR. 122 THE THIRD HEAVEN
After 1930 PLUTO
Before 1930??
After Hubble??
76
THE INTELLIGENT, ORDERLY, VISIBLE ALWAYS COMES
FROM THE INVISIBLE
  • THEREFORE THE WRITER OF HEBREWS SAYS IN 113

Through faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do
appear. THE BIG BANG..GOD COMMANDED IT AND BANG
IT WAS THERE
77
THE SIX DAYS CREATION
  • All creation is by the WORD of Elohim
  • Verse 1-3.the Word created light (The first day
    declared good, and successively for 5 days)
  • Verse 20-23the Word created animated life (The
    5th day)
  • Verses 26-31 the Word created human life (the
    sixth day VERY GOOD)

78
TWO FAQS
  • How old is the earth?
  • Adam and Eve were created as adults which means
    God could have created all things in a mature
    state whereby all would be mere speculation to
    try to determine.
  • How long were the days? Scripture seems to
    indicate that they were 24 hour days. But also in
    some places yom means a period of time
  • (Gen. 51)

79
GOD ENTERED INTO HIS REST ON THE 7TH DAY.
  • 6th day closed with all things very good.
  • 1. Perfect creation resulted in
  • A. Perfect obedience to the word of God
  • B. Perfect health and happiness of life
  • THIS SABBATH IS THE PERFECT HARMONY OF MAN
    DWELLING WITH HIS CREATOR. IT WILL BE SANCTIFIED
    AND REMAIN A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS AFTER THE
    FALL.

80
HOW CAN SUCH PERFECTION OF THE CREATION CONTINUE
IN RELATION TO GOD?
  • THE LIFE, HAPPINESS LAW ARE SEEN IN THE REST OF
    THE SABBATH
  • God is self existing because he abides in His
    character.He abides because He chooses always to
    walk in the light of holiness. This is the secret
    of eternal lifefor God and His creation.
  • Giving man life with a free will, God lovingly
    reveals to him the source (law) of happiness
    eternal life and the danger of death if this law
    is broken

81
MAN
  • All creation to the 6th day was an act of Divine
    grace in preparation to his supreme work man.
  • Man was supreme because God created him in his
    own image and all others were to be his
    offspring.
  • ACTS 1726. and he made of one every nation of
    men to dwell on all the face of the earth,
  • Ps. 84 What is man, that thou art mindful of
    him?
  • Such thoughts generates such questions as 1)
    Why did God create man? 2) what is his nature?
    3) Why are there two accounts of creation in
    Genesis?

82
Dr. Eckstein suggest this possible reason for why
God Created man (paraphrased)
  • The angels were first created designated as
    cherubim. (Gen. 324 Ps. 991)
  • They had free will or ability to choose (Rev.
    228)
  • The highest Angel challenged the creators
    authority. This rebellion is depicted
    symbolically in the attitudes of the Kings of
    Tyre and Babylon (Ez. 28-28 Isa. 14)
  • He was overthrown and cast down to earth (Rev.
    127-9). He has, or is preparing an eternal realm
    called hell for him and his angels (Mt. 2541

83
God Refutes Satans Accusation that He is
unloving by demonstrating His love in Creation
and all History
  • The unfolding of history since creation is a
    revelation that God is holy and love (Jno. 48)
  • The creation of man was an act of love. Giving
    them life, happiness and dominion in a heaven on
    earth. (Gen. 126-27) This was placed before
    Satan that Elohim was exactly what he claimed to
    be ---LOVE.
  • Even when he would sin, God knew man would need
    his love. So, before the creation He planned to
    send his Son. (I Pet. 118-20 Rev. 138 Eph.
    14)

84
Why Give Them A Choice of Sin?Because eternal
life is determined by character..no choice, no
character.
  • Eternal life-a quality of loveis offered man by
    a choice based on faith motivated by love in
    Gods promise of it (Gal. 56).
  • The entire history of mankind justifies God as
    being a God of love and grace in actionthat the
    fruit of the spirit is Life eternal and that the
    fruit of sin is death. At the end, all history
    will be a demonstration that God is just in his
    judgment to cast all those who chose sin and
    death in a place of destruction with the
    originators of sin, Satan and his followers.
    (Rev. 2010)

85
WHY HAVE LAW? BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE
  • Eternal law exists of life and death.
  • CHOICE can be made for either, thus proving
    character.
  • This demanded a prohibited tree.
  • The Law of life is older than the universe. The
    angels broke the law of life in heaven.
  • Gods revelation of the law of life and death was
    his warning of love to man to prevent him to
    avoid the pitfalls of suffering and death.
  • Law is for mans ultimate happiness.
  • Society would be chaos without law.

86
THE CROWNING VICTORY OF LOVE
  • In his hatred of Gods character, Satan uses sin
    to destroy the crowning creation of Gods love--
    The human race. He would then use sinful man to
    murder the Son of God.
  • But love conquers with something Satans depraved
    mind could not comprehendGod love gave His Sons
    life for the life of all who accept Gods grace
    through faith.

87
Thus Gods love joins the gift of Grace with the
Faith of Man to save a soul from sin
  • Eph. 28-9 8. for by grace have ye been saved
    through faith and that not of yourselves, it is
    the gift of God
  • Gods gift must be accepted by faith. Note
    Pauls demonstration of how this is done ACTS
    2216. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be
    baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his
    name.
  • John 1934 Rev. 15 Rom. 63-4

88
GOD WILL BE SEEN AS LOVE AND JUST AT THE FINAL
JUDGMENT.
  • FIGURATIVELY AT THE JUDGMENT
  • I Cor. 15 All the dead shall be raised before
    the presence of God, both believers and Satans
    followers
  • All history will have proved that Jehovah is
    love and entirely fair
  • ALL BELIEVER who have suffered will affirm this
  • UNBELIEVERS WILL BE WITHOUT AN EXCUSE (Mt.
    2211-14 201-16 2514-30 LK. 1911-27
  • HISTORY WILL HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT GOD IS LOVE
  • MAN WILL THEN BE PLACED IN HEAVEN WHERE ALL
    TEMPTATIONS ARE GONE FOREVER., Satan and
    followers will be punished eternally. Rev. 218

89
REFLECTIONS ON ADAM AND EVE.
  • BOTH had imparted to them THE Spirit of Elohim,
    in Gods image, I.e. clean/pure. Made a living
    soul, a being. Each had a mind..intellect,
    insight into their experiences in Eden.
  • Each had emotionswants, wishes, desires.
  • Before the fall, they only desired God and life
  • Each had a conscience, though dormant while
    innocent. Activated by disobedience.
  • Each had eternal life on a conditional basis.
    The conditions being the basic essential of
    lifeobedience to the word of life, Gods word.
  • None ever again like them. They began as adults.
  • THINGS WE DONT KNOW ABOUT THEM How long they
    were in Eden before the fall. Aging began at the
    sentence of death.

90
GOD IS THE WAY OF LIFE, THEREFORE HIS CHARACTER
IS THE LAW OF LIFE
  • GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE BECAUSE HE ABIDES BY THE LAW
    OF HIMSELF WHICH MUST NEVER BE BROKEN.
  • GOD DESIRED MAN TO ENJOY ETERNAL LIFE THEREFORE
    BY GRACE HE REVEALS THE RUDIMENTARY LAW OF LIFE
    TO THEM TRUST HIS WORD, NEVER DISOBEY IT .
  • THIS IS NOT FOR HIS DIVINE EGO, IT IS FOR MANS
    GOOD LIKE WE DO WITH CHILDREN

91
ELOHIM REVEALS THE ELEMENTARY LAW OF LIFE AND
DEATH TO MAN.
DT. 3019. I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live
OBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF LIFE
DISOBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF DEATH
THIS IS REPRESENTED BY CHOOSING THE FRUIT OF TWO
TREES. THE ONE DESIGNATED AS BEARING THE FRUIT
OF LIFE AND T HE OTHER THE FRUIT OF DEATHWHICH
MEANS ONLY ---LOVE GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
TO LIVE, ---OR CHOOSE OTHERWISE AND SUFFER AND
DIE. God gave the law of life in extreme
simplicity . Man may not understand, but he can
obey. Same with children and electricity.
92
JESUS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE WAY OF HOLINESS
LOVE IS THE WAY OF LIFE
  • John 11 In the beginning was the Word, and the
    word was God.
  • John 14. In him (the Word) was life and the
    life was the light of men.
  • 15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
  • ONE IS ONLY FEIGNING LOVE FOR JESUS IF HE
    SECRETLY OPPOSES ANY PART OF HIS WORD OF LIFE

93
WHY DID MAN MAKE SUCH A FOOLISH DECISION? HE WAS
DECEIVED
  • IT NEVER ENTERED MANS HEART TO SIN (DISOBEYMISS
    THE MARK) ON HIS OWN. HE HAD DIABOLICAL HELP.
  • IS THIS WHY MAN RECEIVED GRACE IN HIS FALL, WHILE
    THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS DID NOT IN THEIR
    REBELLION AGAINST DIVINE AUTHORITY?

94
Where did Satan come from? Satan means adversary.
Devil means slanderer or accuser
  • REV. 127. And there was war in heaven Michael
    and his angels fought against the dragon and the
    dragon fought and his angels,
  • 8. And prevailed not neither was their place
    found any more in heaven.
  • 9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old
    serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
    deceiveth the whole world he was cast out into
    the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

95
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge
  • 1. Temptation comes like a serpent in
    unsuspected forms
  • Subtly, stealing slowly and quietly, waiting for
    your weakest moment, and then bites with pain
    and sorrow.
  • 2. It launches a bridgehead in your heart by
    exciting your curiosity
  • Curiosity killed the Cat
  • Our greatest security against sin lies in our
    being shocked by it. (Jer. 615)
  • 3. Eve was in close proximity to the forbidden.
  • She gazed and reflected when she should have fled

96
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge
  • 4. There are dangerous cravings in its elements.
  • Instinctively draws toward the mysterious. One
    veiled figure in an assembly will draw more
    attention than the most beautiful present. An
    unaccountable appearance in the heavens will draw
    more attention than the most beautiful sunset.
  • 5. Through cravings to be mature, even at the
    expense of danger, unbelief disobedience finds
    entrance
  • 6. Experience teaches that one taste of evil
    ruined our first parents. One taste alters
    attitudes.
  • Loyalty to to God is loosened, man loses spirit.

97
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE FORBIDDEN.
  • 1. AS SHE GAZED AT ITS BEAUTY, , SHE LONGED IN
    HER HEART, SHE WAS WEAKENED BY CRAVING
  • 2, THEN SHE SAW AN INCREDIBLE THING THAT SEEMED
    TO MAKE GOD FALSE. A SERPENT DEVOURED THE
    FORBIDDEN FRUIT WITHOUT ANY HARM.
  • 4. SHE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THISHAD GOD BEEN
    COMPLETELY TRUE?
  • 5. THE DEVIL USES THE MOMENT SPEAKS TO HER
    HEARTS DESIRE.

98
The Serpents Seed is Sown in Eves Heart
  • 1. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
    said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
    garden?
  • Inferred God has not been fair with you

99
Eves Reply Shows her Resentment and
VulnerabilityShes a sitting duck for Satan, an
accident waiting to happen.
  • Gen. 32. And the woman said unto the serpent,
    We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
    garden
  • 3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
    midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
    eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

100
THE FIRST LIE IN THE WORLD WAS NOT TOLD BY MAN
  • 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
    shall not surely die
  • GOD HAD SAID 217. But of the tree of the
    knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
    it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
    shalt surely die.

101
JESUS REFERS TO THIS IN JOHN 844
  • 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the
    lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
    murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
    truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
    speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own for he is
    a liar, and the father of it.
  • 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye
    believe me no

102
SATAN STILL PERVERTS WITH THE NOT IN HIS TALE.
  • JESUS MARK 1616
  • HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.
  • SATAN HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS NOT BAPTIZED
    SHALL BE SAVED.

103
OBSERVE ANOTHER NOT IN THE DEVILS TALE TODAY
  • THE BIBLE SAYS
  • I Cor. 1012. Wherefore let him that thinketh he
    standeth take heed lest he fall.
  • SATANS NOT
  • YOU CAN NOT SURELY FALL.

104
THE SERPENTS APPEAL TO PRIDE
  • 5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat
    thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
    shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
  • EXPERIENCING THE AFTERMATH EFFECT OF EVIL WAS THE
    KNOWLEDGE GOD DID NOT WANT THEM TO EVER KNOW.
  • A common feeling of parents today with their
    children.

105
Eve is overpowered by craving and succumbs to the
temptation.
  • 3 6. And when the woman
  • 1) saw that the tree was good for food (she
    walked by sight not by faith and became
    convinced that God had lied) (2 Cor. 57)
  • 2) and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
  • 3) and a tree to be desired to make one wise,

  • 4) She took of the fruit thereof.

106
THE NEW KNOWLEDGE ---WAS EXPERIENCING THE
EFFECT OF SIN. WHY DIDNT THEY CLAP THEIR HANDS
IN JOY?
  • 1. THE NEW KNOWLEDGE WAS NOT WHAT THE COUPLE
    EXPECTED
  • 2. EXPECTED SUFFICIENCY WITHOUT GOD
  • 3. EXPECTED THE DISCOVERY OF A MYSTERY
  • 4. EXPECTED TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD IN WISDOM

107
THE INNOCENT, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NEW
EXPERIENCE OF SIN BRINGS
  • THE SCARS THAT SIN WOULD BRING TO THEM!
  • THEIR INNOCENCE WAS GONE, GONE, GONE
  • THAT THEY HAD A CONSCIENCE THAT WOULD DOG THEM IN
    THE NIGHT FOR THE REST OF LIFE.
  • FEELING DEFILED AND UNCLEAN, AFRAID OF THE
    PRESENCE OF THE HOLINESS OF GOD.
  • THINGS WOULD NEVER, NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
  • THAT IN THEIR NEW DEFILEMENT THEY WOULD FORFEIT
    THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
  • THEIR LOSS WAS AWESOME TO BEAR. SEPARATION FROM
    THE TREE OF LIFE.

108
The knowledge God did not want them (man) to ever
Have.
  • PHYSICAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
  • A BROKEN FAMILY LIFESEEING THEIR SON MURDER HIS
    BROTHER
  • EMOTIONAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
  • THE EFFECTS OF SIN IN AGING THE BODY AND DEATH
    ARE ALWAYS A THREAT
  • THE FEELING OF A GULF AND DISTANCE FROM GOD.

109
Consequences of the fall.
  • 1. Eyes were opened. ---Gen. 37. And the eyes
    of them both were openedthe new knowledge came
    and brought
  • 2. Knowledge of guilt shame. They knew they
    were naked (loss of innocence) and they sewed
    fig leaves together, and made themselves
    aprons---Even still, criminals cover their faces
    before the camera
  • 3. Neither wanted to accept responsibility for
    their sin.
  • MAN CANNOT COVER HIS SIN WITH FLIMSY EXCUSES
    BEFORE GOD'S ALL SEEING EYE.

110
IN THE WAKE OF SIN. GODS LOVE PROMISES GRACE IN
THE PROTOEVANGELION
  • 315. THE OLDEST GOSPEL
  • And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
    and between thy seed and her seed it shall
    bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
  • HERE WE HAVE
  • 1. HER SEEDVIRGIN BIRTH
  • 2. BRUISE THY HEAD..DEFEAT OF SATAN
  • 3. BRUISE HIS HEEL..SUFFERING SAVIOR.

111
ADEQUATE COVERING FOR THEIR NEW CONSCIENCE OF
NAKEDNESS WAS THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD OF AN
INNOCENT ANIMALTHEIR FIRST EXPERIENCE OF A DEATH
  • 321. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
    Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
  • 1. Self covering was inadequate
  • 2. Blood was shed and death occurred
  • 3. Rom. 323 The wages of sin is death.
  • 4. Sin is awesome in its effects on society.

112
THE EXCOMMUNICATION FROM EDEN AND THE GULF THAT
SIN CREATES BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
  • 322 And now, lest he put forth his hand, and
    take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live
    for ever 23. Therefore the Lord God sent him
    forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
    from whence he was taken.
  • 324. So he drove out the man and he placed at
    the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a
    flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the
    way of the tree of life.

113
WHERE IS THE TREE OF LIFE NOW?
  • Rev. 27. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
    the Spirit saith unto the churches To him that
    overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of
    life, which is in the midst of the paradise of
    God.
  • Rev. 2214. Blessed are they that do his
    commandments, that they may have right to the
    tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
    into the city.

114
TO RETURN TO THE TREE OF LIFE ONE MUST BE SLAIN
BY THE SWORD OF GODS WORD.
  • GEN. 324 He placed at the east of the garden of
    Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
    every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
  • 12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
    and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
    even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
    and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
    of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

115
WHEN ONE BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD
RAISED FROM THE DEAD IT IS SAID THAT HE IS CUT
TO THE HEART) . i.e. SPIRITUALLY SLAIN (REPENTS
IN SORROW)
  • ACTS 237. Now when they heard this, they were
    pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
    to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
    what shall we do?
  • Matthew 54 Blessed are they that mourn for
    they shall be comforted.
  • Rom. 67. For he that is dead is freed from
    sin.
  • 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe
    that we shall also live with him

116
THE SWORD (GOSPEL) PIERCES THE HEART, SLAYING THE
SINNER, AND THEN HE IS BURIED WITH CHRIST IN
BAPTISM
  • 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
    into death that like as Christ was raised up
    from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
    we also should walk in newness of life.
  • 5. For if we have been planted together in the
    likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
    likeness of his resurrection
  • 6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified
    with him, that the body of sin might be
    destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
    sin.
  • 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

121
TWO SEEDS SHALL CO-EXIST

THIS IS A WAR BETWEEN
  • GOOD AND EVIL
  • HONESTY AND DECEIT
  • THE SPIRITUAL AND THE MATERIAL
  • GOD AND SATAN
  • BELIEVER'S IN THE WORD ---SEED OF BLESSING
  • BELIEVER'S IN THE LIE -- SEED OF CURSING

123
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT GOALS
  • The unbelieving seed defines success in terms of
    physical possessionsgod of this world.
  • Luke 1219. And I will say to my soul, Soul,
    thou hast much goods laid up for many years take
    thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
  • The faith seed defines success in terms of God,
    spiritual possessions, eternal life.
  • Matt. 619-20 Lay not up for yourselves treasures
    upon the earth---but lay up for yourselves
    treasures in heaven,

124
JESUS NO ONE CAN BE ON BOTH SIDES
  • Matthew 24. No man can serve two masters for
    either he will hate the one, and love the other
    or else he will hold to one, and despise the
    other.

125
WHAT IS AT STAKE
  • The saving of Man Big Quest. Is God Able to
    Fulfill His promised?
  • Can the curse of sin prevent the blessing from
    happening?
  • Can Satan, using his power to deceive man with
    his power of sinful lies and murder, mock God?
  • The Pentateuch (and entire Bible) demonstrates
    that flood, famine, earthly governments or
    pestilence can prevent Gods from fulfilling His
    promise. Obstacles will only becomes the divine
    means for protecting the blessing

126
SERPENTS SEED WILL BRUISE THE PROMISED SEEDS
HEEL
  • 315. And I will put enmity between thee and the
    woman, and between thy seed and her seed it
    shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
    heel.
  • THE BLESSING WILL BE WITH THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT AT
    THE EXPENSE OF SUFFERING.
  • Matt. 5 11. Blessed are ye, when men shall
    revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
    manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
    12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad for great is
    your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the
    prophets which were before you.

127
HISTORY BEGINS TO UNFOLD WITH EXAMPLES OF THE
TWO SEEDS
ALL IN ONE OF TWO SEEDS
FROM CAIN ABEL
TO LAST SOULS
  • CAIN (Flesh)
  • Gen. 45. But unto Cain and to his offering he
    had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
    countenance fell.
  • I John 312. Not as Cain, who was of that
    wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore
    slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and
    his brother's righteous.
  • ABEL (Spirit))
  • Heb. 114. By faith Abel offered unto God a
    more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he
    obtained witness that he was righteous, God
    testifying of his gifts

128
Cains Sin Includes All Sin
  • CAIN VIOLATED TWO BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DIVINITY
    AND BROTHERHOOD
  • Dt. 6 5. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
    with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and
    with all thy might.
  • He worshipped as he pleased, and not as it
    pleased God.
  • Lev. 1918 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
    thyself
  • He killed his brother because his worship was
    acceptable and his were not.

129
THE ATTITUDE OF CAIN SHOWS THE DARK MENTALITY OF
THE SERPENTS SEED
  • 49. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel
    thy brother? And he said, I know not am I my
    brother's keeper?
  • To Adam 39 Where art thou?
  • To Cain 49 Where is thy brother?
  • I JNO. 2 10. He that loveth his brother abideth
    in the light, and there is none occasion of
    stumbling in him. 11. But he that hateth his
    brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness,
    and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that
    darkness hath blinded his eyes.

130
THE PENTATEUCH ILLUSTRATES THAT THE WAGES OF SIN
IS DEATH
  • Gen. 4 16. And Cain went out from the presence
    of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the
    east of Eden. In 7 generations from Adam are
    found living by the law of the jungle.
  • Adam-Cain-Enoch-Irad-Mehujael-Methusael-Lamech.
  • Polygamy begins 423-24 And Lamech took unto him
    two wives I have slain a man to my wounding,
    and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be
    avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
    sevenfold.
  • SEVEN GENERATION ENDS THE TOLDOT OF CAIN

131
NOW THE RECORD SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FAITH
SEED IN 7 GENERATION IN THE TOLDOT OF ADAM VIA
SETH
  • And Adam - Seth- Enos - Cainan Mahalaleel-
    Cainan - Jared eight hundred and thirty years,
    and begat sons and daughters - Enoch
  • 1922. And Enoch walked with God and he was
    not for God took him.
  • Heb. 115. By faith Enoch was translated that
    he should not see death and was not found,
    because God had translated him for before his
    translation he had this testimony, that he
    pleased God.

132
THE EVIDENCE OF HISTORY
  • FOR THE SEED THAT CHOOSES TO WALK LIKE CAINS
    TOLDOT (AFTER THE FLESH AND NOT AFTER THE
    PROMISE) THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH--- Rom 623
  • FOR THE SEED THAT CHOOSES TO WALK LIKE SETHS
    TOLDOT (TO WALK BY FAITH IN GODS PROMISE) IS TO
    OVERCOME BY GRACE THE CURSE OF DEATH

133
THUS WE HAVE THE RECORD STATING
  • HABAKKUK 24. Behold, his soul which is lifted
    up is not upright in him but the just shall live
    by his faith.
  • Eph. 2 8. For by grace are ye saved through
    faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift
    of God

134
A HAZARD ENTERS THE SCENEINTERMARRIAGE
  • IT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED THAT GOD CAN KEEP HIS
    PROMISE IF THE BAD SEED MURDERS THE GOOD. NOW
    THE QUESTION IS, CAN GOD KEEP HIS PROMISE IF THE
    GOOD SEED MIXES WITH THE BAD.

135
In three Generations Methuselah, Lamech
NoahUniversal Sin
  • The record will now demonstrate that God by His
    grace is able to perpetuate the seed of promise
    regardless of universal sin that demands
    universal destruction.
  • Problem If the divine curse against sin is
    death, how can God save the seed of promise if
    there is universal sin?
  • Solution Grace and faith are superior to sin and
    death. Although a small remnant, God is able to
    know who they are and save them in a righteous
    way. Mt. 713-14

136
Faith Seed Is Corrupted by Intermarriage with the
Serpents Seed1 Cor. 1533
  • 1. And it came to pass, when men began to
    multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters
    were born unto them,
  • 2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of
    men that they were fair and they took them wives
    of all which they chose.
  • 3. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not
    always strive with man, for that he also is
    flesh yet his days shall be an hundred and
    twenty years.
  • 120 yearsGod has patience to extend grace to
    sinners for awhile but it is only for a
    space.judgment will come.
  • 21. And I gave her space to repent of her
    fornication and she repented not.

137
The Result of fleshly Distraction
  • 6 4. There were giants in the earth in those
    days and also after that, when the sons of God
    came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare
    children to them, the same became mighty men
    which were of old, men of renown.
  • 5. And God saw that the wickedness of man was
    great in the earth, and that every imagination of
    the thoughts of his heart was only evil
    continually.

138
Gods Patience Ends in Judgment
  • Only 8 righteous faithful souls found on the
    earth.
  • 2 TIM 219 Nevertheless the foundation of God
    standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth
    them that are his
  • Satan again loses his bid to destroy the seed of
    the woman and prevent the coming of the promised
    seedthe Messiah, Jesus Christ

139
WHO RECEIVES GRACE FROM GOD?
  • NOAH IS AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL
  • 67. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom
    I have created from the face of the earth both
    man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the
    fowls of the air for it repenteth me that I have
