Genesis-----”Seed Plot”-----Meaning

The Book of Genesis has sometimes been called the "seed-plot" of the entire Bible. Most of the major doctrines in the Bible are introduced in "seed" form in the Book of Genesis. Along with the fall of man, God’s promise of salvation or redemption is recorded (Genesis 3:15). The doctrines of creation, imputation of sin, justification, atonement, depravity, wrath, grace, sovereignty, responsibility, and many more are all addressed in this book of origins called Genesis.

Many of the great questions of life are answered in Genesis. (1) Where did I come from? (God created us - Genesis 1:1) (2) Why am I here? (we are here to have a relationship with God - Genesis 15:6) (3) Where am I going? (we have a destination after death - Genesis 25:8). It is a fitting beginning for God’s story of His plan for mankind, the Bible.

Matthew 5:17-30

Main Thought- vs 17— 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or

the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. NIV

17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. NKJV

17 Don’t suppose that I came to do away with the Law and the Prophets.[a] I did not come to do away with them, but to give them their full meaning. CEV

John 7: 21-23

Jesus gives us the correct understanding of Old Testament

Teachings

“A Lesson on the Sabbath”

Genesis 1:1-2

4B-The time space between verse 1 & verse 2 is unknown but it does leave room for all the geologic eras. Verse 2 should read “ The earth become without form and void” The same word used here is also used in Genesis 2:7 “Man became a living soul.”

Geologic Eras-The Eras are the next largest interval units into which the Geologic Time is divided. Eras encompass major intervals of Time and are defined based on the fossil life-forms found in the rock layers. There are three Geologic Eras:

The Paleozoic Era The Mesozoic Era The Cenozoic Era

I Thessalonians 5:23

I pray that God, who gives peace, will make you completely holy. And may your spirit, soul, and

body be kept healthy and faultless until our Lord Jesus Christ returns.

Hebrews 4:9-10

The Sabbath is to be understood and defined as “A Day of Rest”

I John 2: 16---The Natural Man”

In 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, the natural man is compared to the spiritual man and the carnal man. Verse 14 says, “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of

God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually

appraised” (NASB). This verse does not define the natural man, as such; rather, it uses the term to describe

one who does not understand God’s words and thoughts. The one who can understand God’s words is

a “spiritual” man (verse 15)

Romans 5:12

This leads us into the results of the Natural Man

Yielding

II Corinthians 5:21

Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner, so that

Christ could make us acceptable to God.

This defines GRACE

Isaiah 53:5

But he was pierced for our transgressions,

he was crushed for our iniquities;the punishment that brought us peace

was on him,and by his wounds we are healed.

“This defines GRACE”

II Corithians 6:14

This is the explanation of Genesis 6—where the Sons of God begin

to mix with the ungodly.

Genesis 6:8 & Matthew 24:37-39“Favor of God”

The definition of the word favor is best described as "demonstrated delight." To have the Lord's favor means that the Lord is in accord with an individual and has shown gracious kindness towards them.

Galatians 3:14

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

“Genesis is all about Jesus”

Lesson 3 Exodus – the outgoing of the Israelites from the land of Egypt.

Luke 24:44 This is a confirmation that when

Moses wrote in the first 5 books of the Bible, even there Jesus is mentioned.

Exodus – the book of Redemption

Redemption def. The action of saving or being saved.

In exodus redemption comes by blood and the Power of God.

Exodus Continues What Genesis Begun

Genesis 46:26-27

26 All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons’ wives—numbered sixty-six persons. 27 With the two sons[f] who had been born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob’s family, which went to Egypt, were seventy[g] in all.

Exodus 12: 37-38

37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 38 Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

Genesis 15:12-14 12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the LORD said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.

Exodus 12:40 40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt[b] was 430 years. 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions left Egypt.

Galatians 3:16-1716 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.

The Structure of Exodus The Exodus Chapters 1 -18

1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob,8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”

12: The Exodus31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”

The Law Chapters 19 – 24Chapter 19 Mt. SinaiChapter 20 – Ten Commandments21 -24 the Do’s and Don’ts

The Tabernacle

The tabernacle of Moses was the temporary place of worship that the Israelites built according to God’s specifications while wandering the desert and used until King Solomon built a temple. The word tabernacle is a translation of the Hebrew mishkan, which means “dwelling-place.” The Feast of Tabernacles commemorates this time of wandering before the Israelites entered the land of Canaan.

The Exodus -- A Deliverer (Exodus 2)Hebrews 11: 23 -29

23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.

29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.

The Institution of the Passover -- Page 22 5 b

Exodus 11:5 4 So Moses said, “This is what

the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. 5 Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. 6 There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.

1 Corinthians 5:7 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you

may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The Crossing of the RED SEA Exodus 13:21-22

20 After leaving Sukkoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. 21 By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

Exodus 15

Marching to Mount Sinai Exodus 15The Presence & Power of God

Verse 4

Pharaoh’s chariots and his army

he has hurled into the sea.The best of Pharaoh’s officers

are drowned in the Red Sea.

Verse 13 In your unfailing love you will lead

the people you have redeemed.In your strength you will guide them

to your holy dwelling.

Verse 25 25 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.

John 6:47 -51

47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

The Smitten Rock Chapter 17

Verses 5-7 5 The LORD answered Moses, “Go out in front

of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the place Massahand Meribah because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the LORD saying, “Is the LORD among us or not?”

1 Corinthians 10:4 Warnings From Israel’s History

10 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

The Law Chapters 19 -24

Exodus 19:7-8 So Moses went back and summoned

the elders of the people and set before them all the words the LORD had commanded him to speak. 8 The people all responded together, “We will do everything the LORD has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD.

Exodus 20: 1-17Matthew 22:37-3937 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Chapters 21-23Govern Social Life

Chapter 24Govern Religious Life

The Law – Galatians 3:15-18

15 Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.

The Law—Galatians 3:19-24

19 What is the use of the Law? It was given later to show that we sin. But it was only supposed to last until the coming of that descendant[e] who was given the promise. In fact, angels gave the Law to Moses, and he gave it to the people. 20 There is only one God, and the Law did not come directly from him.

Slaves and Children21 Does the Law disagree with God’s promises? No, it doesn’t! If any law could give life to us, we could become acceptable to God by obeying that law. 22 But the Scriptures say that sin controls everyone, so that God’s promises will be for anyone who has faith in Jesus Christ.

23 The Law controlled us and kept us under its power until the time came when we would have faith. 24 In fact, the Law was our teacher. It was supposed to teach us until we had faith and were acceptable to God.

To expose & Identify Sin---Romans 5:20 Romans 3:20 & Romans 7:7

Romans 5:20CEV20 The Law came, so that the full power of sin could be seen. Yet where sin was powerful, God’s kindness was even more powerful.

Romans 3:20NLT20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.

Romans 7:7NIVThe Law and Sin

7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”

To reveal the holiness & power of God ----Deuteronomy 4: 32-36----

The Lord Is God

32 Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?

33 Has any other people heard the voice of God[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?

34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.

36 From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire.

Exodus 19:9 Exodus 19:18 & Exodus 24:17

How does the Law Affect Us Romans 8:3-4

3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh,

4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
