The Word Of God

Genesis immediately brings into question many secular worldviews, so serious Genesis students must become accustomed to thinking differently. We must perceive the world and its history as the ancient biblical authors revealed. For example, the narratives of chapters 1 to 3 are not to be understood allegorically, but as actual history.The word of God must always stand above the word of man; we are not to judge His Word, but rather, it judges us.

Three Specific Promises

Israel receives three specific promises: (1) the promise of a great land-“from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates” Genesis (15:18); (2) the promise of a great nation—: and I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth” Genesis (13:16); and (3) the promise of a great blessing—” I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing” Genesis (12:2)

While infinitely less than equal to God, humankind was nonetheless created for partnership with Him.

Terror has gripped the Middle East, Europe and now America as we acknowledge the existence of a new enemy—ISIS, or as our President calls them, ISIL. They seemingly came out out of nowhere, committing atrocities that boggle the imagination. Who are they and where did they come from? Where do they fit into Bible prophecy? Will they invade Israel in the future? Gary and Israeli insider Avi Lipkin explore the roots of this end-time Islamic terror brigade in a way few people really understand. Will America continue down the path of appeasement and political correctness? Or will America submit and become as Avi has predicted, “A Muslim nation?”
