Survey of Genesis 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Survey of Genesis Genesis is not so much a history of man as it is the first chapter in the history of the redemption of man. As such, Genesis is a highly selective spiritual interpretation of history. Genesis is divided into four great events(1-11) and four great people (12-50). re·demp·tion (rî-dèmp¹shen) noun 1. The act of redeeming or the condition of having been redeemed. 2. Recovery of something pawned or mortgaged. 3. The payment of an obligation, as a government's payment of the value of its bonds. 4. Deliverance upon payment of ransom; rescue. 5. Theology. Salvation from sin through Jesus's sacrifice.

GE 11:5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

Covenant with Isaac (26:1-6)
God establishes His covenant with Isaac as the spiritual link with Abraham: GE 26:1 Now there was a famine in the land--besides the earlier famine of Abraham's time--and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. 2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. 3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. 4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, 5 because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws." 6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Isaac’s son Jacob (HW 27:25-29)
God transforms this man from selfishness to servanthood and changes his name to Israel, the father of the twelve tribes: Jacob stole Isaac’s blessing for Esau (27:25-29) for bringing him some game and prepare him some tasty good to eat. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

GE 27:27 So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed. GE 27:28 May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness-- an abundance of grain and new wine. GE 27:29 May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you.

Jacob’s Dream (Read Notes: 28:10-22)
(28:10-22) At Bethel, Jacob had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of god were ascending and descending on it…28:20Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey…and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.” 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Jacob’s Dream (GE 28:18) GE 28:18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. 19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz. (28:10-22) At Bethel, Jacob had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of god were ascending and descending on it…28:20Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey…and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.” 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Bethel is located about 12 miles (19 kilometers) north of Jerusalem.
The name Bethel comes from the Hebrew beth, meaning house, and el, meaning God. Bethel means House of God. Numerous events of Bible Historyoccurred there, including God's appearance to Abraham and Jacob, and for some time it was the place (see Bible Places) where the Ark of The Covenant, containing The Ten Commandments, was housed. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Covenant with Jacob (HW GE 35:1-3)
35:1 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.” 35:2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes. 3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone.” 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Covenant with Jacob (HW GE35:9-13)
GE 35:9 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him. 10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel. " So he named him Israel. GE 35:11 And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you." 13 Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Jacob’s Son Joseph (HW Ch 37-50)
Jacob’s favorite son suffers at the hands of his brothers and becomes a slave in Egypt. After his dramatic rise to the ruler ship of Egypt, Joseph delivers his family from famine and brings them out of Canaan to Goshen. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Death of Joseph (GE 50:24-26) Genesis ends on a note of impending bondage with the death of Joseph. There is great need for the redemption that is to follow in the book of Exodus. GE 50:24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." 25 And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath and said, "God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place." GE 50:26 So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Christ in Genesis – Messianic Predictions (Read Notes)
Genesis moves from the general to the specific in its messianic predictions: Christ is the Seed of the woman (3:15) From the line of Seth(4:25) The son of Shem(9:27) The descendant of Abraham(12;3), of Isaac(21:12), of Jacob(25:23), and of the tribe of Judah(49:10). GE 4:25 Adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, "God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him." 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the LORD. GE 9:26 He also said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. GE 9:27 May God extend the territory of Japheth; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.“ GE 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.“ GE 21:12 But God said to him, "Do not be so distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. 13 I will make the son of the maidservant into a nation also, because he is your offspring.“ GE 25:23 The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.“ GE 49:10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II

Contribution to the Bible
Genesis provides a historical perspective for the rest of the Bible by covering more time than all the other biblical books combined. Its sweeping scope from Eden to Ur to Haran to Canaan to Egypt makes it the introduction not only to the Pentateuch but to the Scriptures as a whole. Genesis gives the foundation for all the great doctrines of the Bible. It shows how God overcomes man’s failure under different conditions. Genesis is especially crucial to an understanding of Revelation, because the first and last three chapters of the Bible are so intimately related. 1/27/2018 Class3_Genesis_II
