And we should know how important foundations are! There is a key thought in the Psalms that saysįor, behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string to shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. Being the first book of the Bible, and thus being the first to introduce these important themes, Genesis forms a foundation for the study of God's word. I don't think they would like it one little bit. someone who may just be able to undo all the mess mankind finds themselves in! You can see why it would come under heavy attack by the enemy and his workers. Thankfully, it also gives the first promise of a redeemer. Genesis means 'beginning' (no prizes for knowing that!) Genesis is the beginning of God's revelation and its first three chapters introduce important themes such as creation and the creator, man's dominion on Earth, marriage, the deceiver and the fall of mankind.

Well I hope you didn't! But I don't think you would go too far wrong saying the same two books that we will focus on in this series - Genesis and Revelation, the first and the last. You probably didn't think of those books. Now if I was to say to you, what are the most attacked books in the Bible, what would you say? Ruth? 2 John? Obadiah? Ok.
Mention some of the themes that tie the two books together We will.īriefly look at why Genesis is important.īriefly look at why Revelation is important. That's not too much to ask is it? Pretty sure you've got time! So we'll simply be limiting ourselves to the beginning and the end of the Bible. Genesis and Revelation, as we shall see, are tied together. By that I mean we will be looking at some of the BIG themes of the Bible that are presented at the start of the Bible and how they find their fulfillment at the end. This will very much be a 'big picture' series of messages. We are going to start a new series called 'The beginning and the end - Genesis and Revelation'.
