15 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History Prepared by Steve Stamper April 16, 2014

16 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History If the Bible is God s Holy word that he gives to mankind Genesis 1:1 is the very first thing God wanted us to know. In ancient times, quoting the beginning of something, made reference to the whole thing (Example: Psalm 22)

17 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History Genesis 1:1 in the original Hebrew contains seven (7) words. 1. (Bereshyt) In the beginning 2. (bara) created 3. (Elohim) God 4. untranslatable mark 5. (ha shamayim) the heavens 6. (the vav is translated as and ) untranslatable mark 7. (ha eretz) the earth

18 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History

19 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History

20 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History Genesis 1:1 in the original Hebrew contains seven (7) words. בראשית ה ארץ ואת ה שמים את אלה ים ברא

21 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Remez ( A Hint ) Statement of all History In the Hebrew alphabet, which has 22 letters, aleph (א) is the first and tav (ת) is the last. In the Greek alphabet, alpha (Α) is the first and omega (Ω) is the last. I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8 He said to me: It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Revelation 21:6 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Revelation 22:13 Who is the Alpha and Omega (the Aleph Tav)?

22 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History Sod ( The Hidden or The Mystery ) The ancient Hebrew Rabbis and Christian scholars have said that each of the seven (7) words, like the seven (7) days of creation, represent 1,000 years, based on Ps. 90:4 4 A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Ps. 90:4 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Peter 3:8 Rabbi Elias, (who lived 200 years before Jesus) wrote: "The world endures 6000 years: two thousand before the law, two thousand with the law and two thousand with the Messiah." (Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 96b-99a). When did Jesus come to earth the first time? When will he come again?

23 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History Sod ( The Hidden or The Mystery ) Now reading left to right Look where the Aleph & Tav appear in the context of time. In the beginning ה א ר ץ ו א ת ה ש מ י ם א ת א ל ה י ם ב ר א Bereshyt ברא שית created bara God Elohim the heavens ha shamayim 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 and the earth ha eretz 2,000 Before the Law Creation - Abraham 2,000 with the Law Abraham - Messiah 2,000 with Messiah Days of Messiah 1,000 The Millennium Shabbat (Rest) Genesis 5 Genesis 7:11 Genesis 11 Galatians 3:17 1,

24 Genesis 1:1 The Summary Statement of all History Sod ( The Hidden or The Mystery ) God tells us from the very first verse of the Bible that Jesus (Yeshua) will come and when he will come. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 God also reveals that he makes all things new Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Revelation 21:1 (NKJV) Like Bookends of the Bible are the Heavens & Earth punctuate God s Plan for His creation From the beginning, God s plan been laid out He is in CONTROL!!
