Good day to you. God bless you. Say, welcome to the Shepherd's Chapel, welcome to this family bible study hour.
The book of Genesis - Genesis being a Greek word meaning "creation" and "generation and of course the same being in the Hebrew barê'shîyth, which is to say "In the beginning", and really that’s more correctly quoted by John even in the New Testament. And of course this Word was from the beginning as we discovered, and of course God had created the heavens and the earth “period”. It didn’t say exactly when but we know from the scripture it was millions of years ago; because after Satan’s rebellion that first earth age became void and without form. And in as much as God had decided it was the time for this earth age, the earth age of flesh man, he began taking that, that was chaotic and void, brought to that condition by Satan himself from his action and reactions recorded in Ezekiel chapter twenty eight, as the king of
So we pick up now with the creation. You’re going to note that in almost every verse in the first chapter of Genesis begins with AND. It is a polysyndeton which is to say it is a figure… that doesn’t say… “And” God”, it’s “And” the creator, the marvelous, the almighty God. In other words there’s a lot more said then is written each time this “And” is used; as the Creator and the Spirit to hover over basically the world putting it into the condition that we have it today from that chaotic situation. As God stipulated in that great book Isaiah, “Hey, I didn’t hide this from you”, as we read in chapter twenty-five, verse nineteen continuing from eighteen, which said “I didn’t create it void and without form, it became that way. And I didn’t hide it from you; I didn’t speak it from some dark place”. So it’s there for everybody to recognize and to enjoy whereby there is not a conflict with nature itself that is natural. By that I mean we are able at this time to document how old this earth is in certain aspects. And certainly a bible scholar has no reason to apologize for we can do the same with the word of God in understanding it.
So with that thought in mind, a word of wisdom from our Father. We had covered only verses one and two of chapter one in Genesis. Let’s pick it up with verse three and go with it. And verse three of that Chapter one reads:
Gen 1:3-4 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Now here in a sense think of the children of light and the children of darkness. Think of the prince of light and the prince of darkness and then understanding will begin to come to you concerning this. Verse five:
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Now stop and think for a moment. This is the end of the first day and we don’t have any stars yet. And the moon and the sun won’t be created until the third or the fourth day and yet there was light there. I think that though you’re not going to have it, I’m gong to turn there in the Book of Revelation to help you understand this as we come to the new earth age coming, the third one, and let’s read verse twenty-three of chapter twenty-one of the great Book of Revelation, which is the eternity. We’re already past the millennium, we’re in our new bodies, our eternal bodies, and this is what the Word says concerning the city.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
I think probably you can put that together for yourself. What? God was there. El shâm, the last words in the great book of Ezekiel, or even She·khi·nah , which is to say that the Glory of God is present, creating that light.
She·khi·nah - Show Spelled Pronunciation[shi-kee-nuh, -kahy-; Seph. Heb. shuh-khee-nah; Ashk. Heb. shuh-khee-nuh] the presence of God on earth or a symbol or manifestation of His presence.
And light always gives life. God is the life giver. So it was the Spirit of God that lightened the world and dispatched the darkness at that time. It was not the light we know of today as the sun and the moon. Now sometimes you have to close your flesh eyes to open your spiritual eyes to understand and to grasp what it is our Father wants you to know. So know - compared to His brightness, His glory, that He is in fact the only light we need. All other light is provided by him for us and for the creatures of the world. So, the light that is spoken of here is not what some would think, but is the very presence of God. And I could think of no other term to put it in. This also comes to that point that it can separate children of light, or day from the children of darkness.
It’s important for you to note you could almost teach Revelation from this book, practically, and much of the New Testament because in as much as the children of the day are in the light and the children of the night being in the darkness, being the prince of darkness, Satan, so we see the set-aside ones that are never… in other words, if you are with God He is with you so you never walk in darkness. You’re a child of light. It is for this reason that all prophecies given concerning God’s children are given in days. That’s solar; the solar calendar. And all prophecies given concerning Satan are given in months, which is to say moons, or the night, or darkness. The moon calendar is, frankly, chaotic. It is a mess to keep up with moons. The solar calendar is perfect because it never changes. The spring equinox happens the same year in and year out. It is for that reason that Shepherd’s Chapel goes by the solar calendar in determining Passover even.
Okay, enough said, you get the point. God was with us, light was there, and the light was good. Why? It was our Father. Verse six:
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
He said let there be an expansion… now bear in mind, I want to draw from your memory a little bit back in Isaiah chapter forty-five verse eighteen, God created the earth out of the water not in the water. But in that Katabole, that overthrow, Satan’s rebellion, there was a flood that would make Noah’s flood look like a spring shower. I know some will resent that, be that as it may, yet all the destruction, you can still see signs of it in this world even at this time. We now have the North Pole is 90 degrees… 90 miles rather, set over from true North, which is according to where you are on the globe. All pilots have to correct there compasses because of that -anywhere from say 5-to-7 degrees. “East is least and West is best” is the little rhyme that you memorize to remember which way to adjust the compass because of this earth being just a little bit off kilter.
It happened instantly. We have found many proofs of this in remains; there was an instant freeze and the reasons that cause an instant freeze to come to pass and so-forth. We know that it happened. But here, He’s dividing the water back again and He’s not talking about the receding waters of Noah’s flood. Verse seven:
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
In other words, He caused the water to recede… He put part of the water back into firmament which means into the heavens or atmosphere. And so it was. If you use your mind for just a moment you might know where much of that water came from that brought that flood to pass. If there was water overhead that filtered… Verse eight:
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
That is to say that which was above, that expanse…
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
So in a sense He created the 'erets 776, “earth”, and heaven on that second day for this earth age.
H776
ארץ - 'erets - eh'-rets
From an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land): - X common, country, earth, field, ground, land, X nations, way, + wilderness, world.
Verse nine: - Let me rephrase that because that could mislead someone. He brought both the earth and the heaven into the day of this earth age, alright. The earth and heaven were both already here; heaven being naturally according to where ever God is. He didn’t build another earth or create another earth, He simply caused the waters to recede and move upward into the atmosphere whereby land again could become a habitation. Verse nine:
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Now with Noah’s flood it took several days and months for the water to recede. Here it was just, “bang”. God spoke, and so it happened. Verse ten:
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth;
Terra firma, 'erets in the Hebrew tongue.
and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Not chaotic. Not disturbed anymore as it was into a nothingness (tôhû - bôhû), as we discussed in verse two. But that is was coming back to that beauty that we have. I wonder when the plates moved and so-forth. You know, we found those animals of African likeness in
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/05/fossil-park.html
I mean it’s absolute. There’s no getting around it; rhinoceroses and camels and birds of Africa that died about ten million years ago in
Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
In other words the seed to replenish itself was in itself after its kind and that’s the way God liked it. Verse twelve:
Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
God likes things to stay the way that He created them. Man always wants to manipulate. Thirteen:
Gen 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Now make note, chronologically, of these events and keep them in order in your mind. On the first day was God’s presence. The second day; grass, herbs, fruit trees… I’m sorry on the second day was the creating of the land itself and the allowing of the water to recede where there were no trees. And God created new grass, seeds trees, and so forth on that third day, and it was good. Fourteen:
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
That’s in the atmosphere…
to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
In other words, we were supposed to utilize the sun and the moon as signs and for seasons. With everything on its compass, set with its rotation, whereby many might say, “Well, that’s kind of foolish to talk about seasons and signs”, but no, it isn’t. If you want to be a successful farmer many times it pays to pay attention. Example; if the moon, which is the reason we have a tide from the seas/oceans, if the moon can raise the water level five feet at a high tide and sometimes much more simply by a certain phase of the moon… think about it! Do you realize how many metric tons and acres are involved with that? It would be very difficult for man to understand the force that it would take to raise that water level to that elevation by the pull of the moon. Do you think that if it would raise the water level of the ocean five feet, then what do you think it does on land to the surface water? The subterranean water I should say, water below the surface. Naturally it pulls that water closer to the surface. So yeah, there’s something to it. When you have powers like that which are at play by God’s natural way, naturally it pays to pay attention. Verse fifteen:
Gen 1:15 And let them
That’s those lights
be1 for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Sixteen:
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
And there we have that perfect zodiac which is really God’s bible in the stars.
or
http://philologos.org/__eb-tws/default.htm
You with Companion bibles, you have an appendix on that. http://levendwater.org/companion/append12.html
Interesting… God’s overall plan is perfect. And, “Well, why would He do that? For doubters, for those that would doubt that when He says that a thing is a thing or a way, it always happens that way. I suppose the question is, how well educated or certain are they? Can they understand the works of God? Seventeen:
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
And again, this was natural light from God in God’s own way, as well as the light of God’s presence. Eighteen:
Gen 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Nineteen:
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
So here we come to this fourth day and we see that we have the stars, the sun, the moon, the zodiac and the other signs in the heavens, and one is not to make a religion out of that study –I want to hastened to add, but it is important to know how it applies to God’s Word.
So we have grass, we have herbs, the vegetation is put in place in the earth, we have the sun, the stars, the earth, and we continue. I want you to chronologically keep these in order. Twenty:
Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters
I repeat, not the earth
bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life 5315, 2416,
Now this word [life], nephesh, is “soul”. That’s what you call soul. Bring from the water the moving living creature that has a soul…
H5315
נפשׁ - Nephesh - neh'-fesh
From H5314; properly a breathing creature, that is, animal or (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental): - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, X dead (-ly), desire, X [dis-] contented, X fish, ghost, + greedy, he, heart (-y), (hath, X jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortality, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thy-) self, them (your) -selves, + slay, soul, + tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, X would have it.
H2416
חי – chay - khah'ee
From H2421; alive; hence raw (flesh); fresh (plant, water, year), strong; also (as noun, especially in the feminine singular and masculine plural) life (or living thing), whether literally or figuratively: - + age, alive, appetite, (wild) beast, company, congregation, life (-time), live (-ly), living (creature, thing), maintenance, + merry, multitude, + (be) old, quick, raw, running, springing, troop.
and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Now I give you, for supposition only, now I repeat this is supposition only, something simply for you to think about. I’m not teaching this [as scripture], it’s for your own thought process. Nephesh, the word soul is translated 472 times as the soul of human beings; 282 times it definitely is animal and 44 for different species (necessarily). It is ironic knowing God’s time, being not ignorant of it, that a thousand years is as one day with God, that when we look at a people, or living thing, let us say, with a soul that was created from the waters of the sea which basically the sea contains the same minerals that clay does. But the people who grow there wheat from the sea, or in water… as a matter of fact Oriental history goes back much, much longer than the history even of the Hebrew. This is well recorded and well documented and again that is strictly supposition. I’m not teaching that [as scriptural], but I feel it is something that as you look around at the world and at history, and at man’s story, that you stop and you think. I would not wish to debate the case, but at least be aware. Verse twenty-one:
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
So here we have God creating the fish, and the fouls; you have water birds, you have dry-land birds. You have fish, mammoths, as well as fish of scales, scavengers and so forth. Verse twenty two:
Gen 1:22 And God blessed them,
Did you hear that? And God blessed them.
saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
In other words, to bring back that which we found that was taken away in the fourth chapter of Jeremiah (Jer 4:23-28) at the overthrow of Satan, a new creation for this earth age.
Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Now we come up to this day [the 5th] and we’ve got grass and we’ve got fish and we’ve got birds and wildlife… but we still don’t have a man. Okay, that’s important that you make note. Animals were created before man; that is to say, at least the animals of the wilderness [and seas/oceans]. Verse twenty-four:
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Twenty-five:
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And here we have the earth-bound animals aside from fish and foul, we have cattle, sheep, the bovine, the cow, and camels, and so-on-and-so-forth, (possibly) the wildebeest and so-forth. Twenty-six:
Gen 1:26 And God430 said, Let us make man in our image,
Bullenger’s notes: man. Hebrew 'adam (no Article) = mankind
Now think about that. That’s God speaking. Where does this “our” come from? Who was there? His sons of course, as it is written. His sons, 'ĕlôhîym in the Hebrew tongue means God and His children, His sons, every soul that God created was with Him.
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness
After our likeness, is to make them [into flesh] “Just like we are”. That’s why when you see Jesus Christ, born from above, not born again. That’s an incorrect translation in the third chapter of John.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again,509 he cannot see the
G509
ἀìνωθεν - anōthen - an'-o-then
From G507; from above; by analogy from the first; by implication anew: - from above, again, from the beginning (very first), the top.
That’s why God could say through the mouth of Jesus Christ if you have seen the son you have seen the Father. Why? They are made to look exactly alike. The same as you are made to look exactly as you looked there, okay.
H430
אלהים - 'ĕlôhîym - el-o-heem'
Plural of H433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: - angels, X exceeding, God (gods) (-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
They’re going to be fisherman…
and over the fowl of the air,
Hunters…
and over the cattle,
Hunters…
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Twenty-seven:
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image,
Note that the “own’s” in italics, meaning that the “own” was added. Meaning the word “elohiym” means God and His children in each image…
in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
It’s important for you to note in this record of this 6th Day Creation that the male and female were created simultaneously; at the same time, and the fact that they were created rather than formed. That’s important.
So there you have it. To look exactly as they were [in their spiritual bodies before each soul became flesh]. And here we have this creation on the sixth day of both male and female. Twenty-eight:
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them,
Boy did He…
and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish4390 (853) the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Now why this word “replenish”? Actually, if I give you a brand new basket, I mean, it’s never had anything in it, and tell you to replenish it with corn, you’d say, “Well Pastor, there’s never been any corn in it. How could I replenish it?” And you would be correct. Now if it were a basket that had corn in it before, then I could be correct in stating, “replenish the supply of corn in this basket”. So it is with the earth as we read in Jeremiah four, at the first rebellion, God removed, or took, from the earth every last man. They were gone. And remember what His threat was, “You’d better be careful, I did it once before and if you don’t think I’ll do it again, stand by”. So he created these races on the sixth day and He instructed them to replenish the earth, to re-supply it again. The difference, man would be in a flesh body this time rather than an angelic body. Verse twenty-nine: And if this gets a little fast for you just put it on a shelf over there and hang on… you’ll enjoy it anyway, twenty-nine:
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,
Underline it in you mind, “every tree”…
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
That’s oranges, apples, plums, though they’re not specified, you haven’t seen the word “apple” in the scripture… The word “ets”
H6086
עץ - ‛êts - ates
From H6095; a tree (from its firmness); hence wood (plural sticks): - + carpenter, gallows, helve, + pine, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood.
in the Hebrew tongue meaning “the fruit tree”, you can partake of. No problem. Thirty:
Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life,5315, 2416
Soul, nephesh,
I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
In other words, God gives them hunting, fishing, and rights as fruit gatherers, wild berries, and this sort of thing. Thirty-one, the last verse of chapter one:
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
It is my contingent, and I do teach it, that when God created the races on that sixth day that he created both man and woman at the same time and populated the earth with the various races. You know, it has not been that many generations back since that six-thousand year period when this took place. I’m talking about the sixth day. And people, following the natural flow of things, stay as they are. We make small environmental changes, that is to say evolution in a sense… I’m not saying evolution in the sense of a change but simply that these marvelous bodies that God created will adapt to temperatures, and so-on-and-so-forth, by the thickening or thinning of the blood and so-forth. The ingenuity that man has in survival…
But God created the races both male and female at the same time and what did He say? He looked on everything and it wasn’t that it was just good, He said… and God beheld and it was very good. So this is why that no one had better apologize for their race in front of this man. Because God created every race the way He wanted it. And it was not just good, it was very good.
Now, I don’t want you to miss the next lecture because we’re going to get into an eighth-day man. That’s why it’s important. It’s important that you chronologically keep in mind that He first brought the stars, the moon, and then the grass, trees, fish, and so-on-and-so-forth, and then on the sixth day brought man on the scene – and woman simultaneously to replenish the earth. But we’re going to find out in the next lecture, He realizes that He’s got hunters and fishers but He doesn’t have a husbandman which means a farmer. So He creates another man, “Ha Adam”. It can only be picked up from the Hebrew manuscripts. I know no one else who teaches as I do from these manuscripts in this manner. That does not bother me. I have studied it long and I have studied it well. And there is no reason for racial tension when one comes to the understanding that God loves all of His children. He looks and it is very good. And God creating kind after kind, they’re special to Him – to do what He created each of us to do.
You know, we get this nonsense; let’s say that the Africans came from Noah’s son Ham because he uncovered his father’s nakedness. There’s nothing natural about that unless you understand what uncovering your father’s nakedness means. In Leviticus 18:8 and Leviticus chapter 20, verse eleven, we’ll find that that is to have intercourse with your mother or your father’s wife. That’s what the term “uncovering your father’s nakedness” means. That’s why they had to get Noah drunk, Ham had to get Noah drunk first. And when Noah passed out he seduced Noah’s wife. That’s why the curse fell on the offspring of that incestuous affair – Cainan. But they were both Adamic offspring from “Ha Adam” as we will find. And they were naturally ruddy complected [or their complexion was ruddy].
H119
אדם - 'âdam - aw-dam'
To show blood (in the face), that is, flush or turn rosy: - be (dyed, made) red (ruddy).
So there is no way that African-Americans could have come from that incestuous affair. It’s an insult to say that they did and a curse was placed upon them. It wasn’t it was Cainan. God never deals in something unnatural such as changing a man’s color. That that is, is the way He created it.
So all races were created on the sixth day with the exception of “Ha Adam” which we’ll discuss in the next lecture, don’t miss it. It’s not really complicated. God did not teach these things in darkness. When you let God’s word flow on its own then clarity comes to the mind of the hearer and the reader. How perfect His word. Don’t miss the next lecture. Listen a moment won’t you please.
