    Genesis Lesson 15: A Birth Day Gift for Adam {Woe! Man!} Christological Significance of Adam’s Deep Sleep and Rib

    "Woe! Man!" was (in effect) Adam's response to the Lord's amazing birth day gift to him! The Lord God did not declare everything He created to be "very good" until He created woman (examine the text if you don't believe me). Man was only half His plan for the human race; Eve was in the mind of God long before she was in the arms of Adam! There is no way on earth to compromise the theory of evolution with the Biblical creation account of woman, so those who try to push their ideas of what they call "Progressive Creationism" or "Theistic Evolutionism" need to absolutely rethink their position. We discuss the Christology of Adam's deep sleep and the Hebrew meaning of the word "rib" - out of and from which came his "bride" - and the institution of marriage (think of Christ and His Church)! This is a fascinating lesson with a lot of truths you may never have thought about previously.

    Genesis Lesson 14: Creation vs. Evolution {Garden of Eden} A Paradise, A Project, A Prohibition

    Genesis 2:8-17 A Special Paradise (with one special Garden, two special trees, and four special rivers), a Specific Project, and a Single Prohibition! The name "Eden" comes from "edhen," a Hebrew word that means "delight". A "garden" is a place enclosed, protected, and sheltered. Eden was the place in which the garden was planted. It had a special delight for man, not so much because it was more perfect than the rest of Earth (which was all perfect at that time), but because God specifically made it for man's delight. Matthew Henry said, "God did not put man in a palace made of silver and gold, nor in a house made of ivory, but in the most beautiful and artful place of all: nature - a Garden furnished and adorned by God Himself". We discuss so much more it is impossible to put it all down in this brief description! You just need to listen yourself.

    Genesis Lesson 13: Creation vs. Evolution {Seventh Day} - When did Lucifer fall? The Significant Sabbath Rest. The Amazing Human Body.

    Genesis 2:1-7 The second chapter of Genesis is not only a record of the seventh and final day of the Creation Week, but it provides some details about the prehistoric earth and the creation of the first man and woman not included in the first chapter. The chapters do not contradict, as some have claimed - and we discuss why they do not. We also discuss the timing of Lucifer's fall. We talk about why God created everything in stages, rather than all at once, and the answer is interesting and another testimony to His care and concern for man. From this look at Genesis 2:1-7, we talk at length about the Sabbath rest. Also included in this study is a brief look at how wondrously the human body is - and what a testimony to the Creator we are!

    Genesis Lesson 12: Creation vs. Evolution {No More Monkey Business} A Vital Lesson for Entire Family!

    Okay, you HAVE to listen to this message, "No More Monkey Business"! In this critical lesson, we give documented evidence about the various hominids or "ape men" (aka "missing links" between apes and humans) that have been used by evolutionists in their attempt to disprove the Biblical account of man's origin, from God. We discuss, with documentation, the truth about all these pieces of "evidence" (i.e. Ramapithecus, Australopithecus, Peking Man, Homo Erectus, Java Man, Piltdown Man, Neanderthal Man, Nebraska Man, etc.). This is AN EYE-OPENER, for this world has been greatly "hoaxed"! We also discuss and analyze another great hoax that has been put upon the world - the age of the earth! This is a lesson for you, your children, and grandchildren! It is time for the truth to be known!

    Genesis Lesson 11: Creation vs. Evolution {Sixth Day} Four Ways Man Differs from Animal World

    Genesis 1:26-41 This is the account of the crowning summit of God's creation, man. We discuss the inter-Trinitarian conversation of Genesis 1:26 ("Let Us make man is Our image," which proves God's multiple Persons in One Godhead (we analyze why He was not speaking to anyone outside Himself). Then, we look at His creation of man, His commission to man (i.e. man's privilege to reproduce and his privilege of responsibility, called "the cultural mandate"), His cuisine for man, and His closing creation comment (1:31). Included in this study are four ways in which man differs from the animal world. We discuss what it means that we (humanity) are made in the image of God.

    Genesis Lesson 10: Creation vs. Evolution {Sixth Day} Animals that Baffle Evolutionists!

    Genesis 1:24, 25a This is Part I of the sixth day's creation activity regarding land animals. We discuss all kinds of amazing creatures and how they testify of an Intelligent Creator. Share this lesson with the whole family - together learn how God's creatures, from the smallest to the largest, testify against evolution! Learn about the incredibly complex self-defense system of the Bombardier Beetle, the mimicry phenomenon of many creatures, which baffle evolutionists and testify to a Creator. Learn about the sophisticated vibration sensors of moles, the upside-down pouch of the female wombat, the communication frequencies of frogs, the hibernation process of ground squirrels, the duckbill platypus, the elephant's built-in cooling system, the incredible neck of the giraffe, fire-breathing "dragons," and much more!

    Genesis Lesson 9: Creation vs. Evolution {Fifth Day} The Fossil Record re Dinosaurs. How DNA defies Evolution

    Genesis 1:20-23 In this lesson on God's fifth day of the Creation Week, we discuss how the Biblical record of creation clashes "head on" with the naturalistic theories of origins. There can be no compromise between the two. We talk about Louis Pasteur (a creationist) and his work to prove the fallacy of the spontaneous combustion concept. We also discuss the important Law of Biogenesis! How does the creation account of Genesis, as well as the Book of Job, tell us dinosaurs did not live on millions of years before people? And how does the fossil record provide evidence that men and dinosaurs lived contemporaneously? We discuss the amazing DNA super-molecule, which stores all the coded hereditary information for every living organism (and how it defies evolution). Ever hear of the cleaning symbiosis arrangement between certain creatures? It is a process that would never have "survived" the "trial and error" process offered by evolutionists! What about the migratory instincts of many fish and fowl? Again, it totally disallows a piecemeal "trial and error" evolutionary process over millions of years. If man wants to truly understand where life came from, he merely has to look around at creation; it will tell him in abundant ways! "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will explain it to you!" (Job 12:7, 8).

    Genesis Lesson 8: Creation vs. Evolution {Fourth Day} Learn about Big Bang, Fission, and Steady-State Theories of Evolution

    Genesis 1:14-19. God created the heavenly bodies on the fourth day of the Creation Week. This means the sun was created after the earth according to Biblical Creationism. This directly contradicts evolutionary teaching that the earth was either thrown off from the sun or that both the earth and sun condensed from a huge "protosun" of whirling dust and gas billions of years ago. We discuss why any attempt to compromise creationism with evolutionism does NOT work! Also discussed in this lesson are the following Cosmogonies (evolutionary theories about the origin of the universe): The Big Bang Theory, The Fission Theory, and The Steady-State Theory". We also discuss how the two laws of thermodynamics, "the Law of Mass-Energy Conservation" and "the Law of Energy Decay" refute any theory that the universe somehow randomly created itself - that matter and energy came from nowhere.

    Christ in Genesis Lesson 10: Laughter At Last!

    The title for this lesson comes from the Hebrew meaning of the name Isaac - "laughter". It was a time of laughter when the "miracle boy" was conceived in the womb of a barren and post-menopausal woman. His birth foreshadowed the even greater miracle conception of Christ (born of a virgin). In this presentation, we discuss the life-transforming experience of Hagar (Egyptian handmaid of Sarah) when she met the pre-incarnate Christ at a wilderness well. We also discuss the contextual circumstances of God's first use of His name, "El Shaddai". Then, there is the young lad, Ishmael (son of Abraham's relationship with Hagar), who mocked and persecuted his younger half-brother Isaac. What happened with him? Why are Ishmael's descendants not included in the Abrahamic Covenant? What does this mean about the land of Israel today and to whom it rightfully belongs (per God's decree)?

    Christ in Genesis Lesson 9: Ten-King War and Mysterious Melchizedek

    This lesson concerns the first written account of war in NOT JUST the Bible, but in all ancient literature! Interestingly, this first recorded war in history involved an attack on five kings of the Dead Sea area of ancient Canaan (Israel) by a coalition of four kings from territories that, to this day, remain hostile to Israel! The invading kings were led by a man from Elam (part of modern-day Iraq). He was called the "Ravager of the West". 85-year old Abraham was the hero of this story! (This war prophetically pictures mankind's last war called "The Battle of Armeggedon," which will be an all-out attack to annihilate Israel by another "Ravager" (the Antichrist). In Genesis 14, a tenth, very mysterious king suddenly appeared on the scene! His name, Melchizedek means "King of Righteousness". He was a Priest of the Most High God, and King of Salem or "King of Peace"!! He is definitely a prophetic type of the Lord Jesus (and some even think he was the preincarnate Christ - an interesting debate discussed in this lesson). Our Great High Priest Christ, Who is also the King of Righteousness and the King of Peace, will likewise appear out of seemingly no where at His Second Coming to save Abraham's descendants (through Isaac) from extinction! There is SO MUCH TYPOLOGY in this lesson!

    Christ in Genesis Lesson 8: Abram and the Critical Covenant {One that Affects Every Nation Yet Today}

    It would be difficult to imagine the resurrected Lord not mentioning Abraham or the covenant God made with him in His "Unrecorded Emmaus Road Sermon". He very likely taught His two despondent disciples how the promises, blessings, and fulfillment of that covenant center on Himself (although His identity was not yet revealed to the two). The Lord's initial call to Abram of Ur of the Chaldees (a Gentile!) was analogous in importance to the divine summons to Moses at the burning bush and to Saul on the Damascus Road. It was a call of grace for the entire world, for the message of salvation is at the heart of that unconditional covenant, and the world's Saviour (and written Word of God) was to come from Abraham's loins! For a solid understanding of the Abrahamic Covenant, this is a "must listen" message.

    Christ in Genesis Lesson 7: A Tyrant and A Tower [Nimrod, A Picture of Antichrist]

    Babel was the first "global" attempt to elevate man to God's level by way of the religion of self-effort. It was the first experiment of man to have a world government and a one-world religion. Disobeying God's way of salvation, which was to believe on His Promised Saviour, the Seed of the woman of Genesis 3:15, the Tyrant Nimrod (a picture type of the future Antichrist) introduced the world to Cain's alternate "works' approach" to Heaven and even replaced God as the Object of worship and Source of salvation. Babel was only the beginning of things men would try to do in their effort to replace God. All false religions and cults find their origin in Babel, which is MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT of the end-times. Where did the nations and languages of this world originate? Although profoundly ridiculed by Bible critics for centuries, the truth of "The Table of Nations" in Genesis chapter 10 (the 70 nation groups which resulted from the divine dispersion of families from Babel) has been abundantly supported by findings in anthropology, archeology, and linguistic studies on the origins of languages. You can trust Scripture 100%. Good TRUE history lesson all young people should be taught! They would have a much better understanding of life if they knew the early chapters of Genesis. Amen.

    Genesis Lesson 6: Creation vs. Evolution {Second Day} - The Tri-une aspects of our World!

    Genesis 1:6-8 This lesson is on the Spirit's inspired account of the second day of the Creation Week. We discuss how absolutely perfect this planet we call "Home" is! Everyone should be thankfully amazed about the incredible details that had to "come together" for Earth to be a livable place. Forethought, planning, and design are everywhere abundantly evident! We talk about the creation of the atmosphere and hydrosphere of our uniquely designed planet. We also mention more "tri-unities" in our world - you will be excited to realize how MANY there are! I guarantee you won't hear about them from the secular world, for they present too much obvious evidence of their Tri-une Creator!

    Genesis Lesson 5: Creation vs. Evolution {First Day} - We Discuss ”The Day-Age Theory/Progressive Creationism

    Genesis 1:3-5. We discuss God's first set of "Ten Commandments" and His principle of separation (found from day one of creation until the end of Revelation), and the "Day-Age Theory". We discuss what the light of day one was, since the sun was not created until day four. We also discuss some of the vast differences between belief in Creationism from Evolutionism and how it is literally impossible to attempt to compromise the two in such ways proposed by "The Gap Theory," "Progressive Creationism," and "Theistic Evolutionism". The stages of creation found in Genesis chapter one follow a natural sequence; each creative act was necessary before the next creative act could take place. It was all done in a precise and orderly process. Man could not have survived if the order of creation was rearranged or in a different sequence.

    Genesis Lesson 4: Creation vs. Evolution {Triune Universe Created} - What about the Gap Theory?

    Genesis 1:1b and 1:2. We discuss the creation of the heavens and Earth, giving a serious critique of two creation theories: 1. The Gap Theory and 2. The Unshaped Earth Theory. Also discussed is the Holy Spirit's part in the creative work - the movement of the Spirit is extremely fascinating when we discover the meaning of the Hebrew word for "move" in Genesis 1:2.

    Genesis Lesson 3: Creation vs. Evolution {In the Beginning}

    Genesis 1:1a This is the first in our "Creation versus Evolution" series. It is packed with interesting and informative vital information found in simply half a verse: Genesis 1:1a. If we are going to understand anything else in Scripture or in the world, we need to first understand the teaching of the first sentence of the Bible, for it answers the two most basic questions of humanity: when was the universe created? and where did the universe come from? Learn how the first of many names for God used in the Scripture is a uni-plural proper noun - the name Elohim. Elohim is plural, but is used with a singular verb ("created"); this testifies of a Tri-une Godhead. We discuss how there is simply one alternative to believing in a Self-existent, eternal Creator God, and it is to believe in eternal matter. However, the concept of eternal matter cannot go "hand-in-hand" with the scientific law of cause and effect, since random particles of matter could never, by themselves, generate a complex, orderly, intelligible world and universe, much less generate living persons who are able to apply intelligence to the understanding of the complex order of the universe! Scientifically, the concept of eternal matter is impossible.

    Christ in Genesis Lesson 3: Christ in Adam

    Have you ever thought about the fact that although God created man sinless and innocent, he was not righteous? That may sound strange, but think it through. Righteousness is innocence maintained in the presence of temptation! Adam failed to maintain his innocence in the face of indirect temptation (he was not directly tempted by Satan; Eve was Adam's temptation - Eve herself, not the fruit in her hand). The Last Adam, the Lord Jesus, fully resisted all Satan's direct temptations. totally maintaining His sinlessness, even in a human body. He proved His eternal, divine righteousness, as well. Although that is a major difference between the two Adams, this lesson also presents some interesting ways in which Adam was a "type" of Christ. There are many fascinating comparisons between the Edenic Tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the Calvary "Tree" (the cross) presented in this lesson, as well. This is a deep study, presented in clear, understandable terms. It is foundational for a proper understanding of why God allowed evil into His perfect creation. Knowing beginnings is vital to understand the present and to prepare rightly for the future.

    Genesis Lesson 2: Introduction to Book of Beginnings {Includes a Fascinating Comparison of Genesis and Revelation}

    In this second half of our Introduction to Genesis, the book of beginnings, we discuss the three main purposes for the book: the historical purpose, the spiritual purpose, and the Christological purpose (we have an entire series of finding "Christ in Genesis" - see podcast tag). We also discuss many special features of this unique and all-important first book of God's Word (i.e. it is the book of the Creation account, of human ancestry, of the patriarchs, of Israel's beginning - and it begins to teach us about God's grace, His covenant promises, and man's pilgrimage of faith). In this study, we do a fascinating comparison between the first and last books of Scripture - the Book of Genesis and the Book of Revelation, and that amazing comparison surely shows how the whole of Scripture has one Divine Author!

    Genesis Lesson 1: The Foundation of History

    This is the first lesson in our study of the Book of Genesis, "the book of beginnings". Genesis lays the foundation of history; it gives us the critical information needed to know about origins. Genesis is "the seed plot of the Bible" because all "the forests" of Scripture find their beginning as "seedlings" in it. Actually, it presents the beginning of everything in existence except God Himself (i.e. the origin of the universe, of order and complexity, of the atmosphere and hydrosphere, of life, of man, of marriage, of evil, of God's plan for salvation, of government, the nations and people groups, of the nation of Israel). In this Part I of our Introduction to Genesis, in additional to discussing how the book is foundational to history, we talk about the author of the book (we discuss "The Documentary Hypothesis" which teaches that Moses was not the author - and why we disagree). We also discuss the method involved in writing Genesis and the dating of the book (when it was written).
