Why does the Bible begin with a book called Genesis and end
with a book called Revelation?
Oh my, my, my!!
I GET SO THRILLED ABOUT THE WAY GOD TEACHES ME!! I GET SO EXCITED ABOUT HOW HE OPENS MY
EYES TO HIS TRUTHS!!
What does the word 'genesis' truly mean?
Genesis: origin,
origination, production, creation, bear, produce. origin; production; creation;
mode of generation or formation; the first book of the Old Testament, so
named as containing an account of
the creation of the world.
And 'revelation'?
And 'revelation'?
Revelation: The
act or an act of revealing or disclosing; disclosure; something revealed or
disclosed; a striking disclosure, as of something not before realized; the
communication of religious truth by supernatural creatures; an instance of such
communication or disclosure, or something thus, communicated or disclosed; that
which contains such disclosure; as the Bible. Revelationist: One who makes a revelation, as the author of the
Apocalypse; also, one who believes in revelation. Revelator: One who makes
revelation. Revelatory: Affording a
revelation.
Do you understand that God created man in a very particular
image - in the beginning? And what
is a beginning? It is, in fact, a genesis?
You realize that the Bible from cover to cover, came to
us, due to an interruption in that ‘very particular’ image of man, made by God, originally!
Had Adam kept his garden and not fallen from that which God intended him to
remain in; we would not have the Bible today. No needs!
Every word on the pages of what you hold in your hands,
study and meditate upon with your eyes, mind and spirit, came only because we
are a fallen away generation from that origin or that genesis!
So the Bible begins and opens with a ‘beginning!”
Oh, how clever and wise is our Creator,
God! He shares by way of men
inspired by His very own Spirit, everything that we missed and are in fact, still missing in humanity today.
Our all-knowing Creator ends this massive, detailed scribing,
with a book entitled: Revelation!
Are you kidding? Are you getting a picture here? Even a hint of what He might have been eluding to?
God would say, "Man! From the beginning (genesis), you were to be everything
written on these pages! Read
through to the very end and you will come to, prayerfully, a ‘revelation of
truth’ that will bring you right back to the intended, original genesis – In
the beginning…Genesis 1:1.
In other words, God was saying that in order for us to make the full circle back to the beginning, we would have to have a 'revelation' for that! I love it! Oh, I absolutely LOVE IT!!
Romans 11:33-36
King James Version (KJV)
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Oh, Glory to God!!
Can we see it? Can we
believe it? Can we grasp the
awesomeness of our God? His
mind? His means of communicating
truth with His very own creation?
So, the very last thing to take place in God's divine order of things now, and to be accomplished by the end of this age, is that man will come to a 'revelation' of Him and of what He intended for man in the beginning. When we see Him, when we see the Kingdom of our God...our genesis has once again, finally, just begun!!
Mankind just took the long/wrong way around!
Chalkin' in out with you!
Here on these imaginary, black spaces.
