The question is, “Who wrote the book of Genesis?” We know that Moses was not alive at the time of Adam and Eve. Here, is where we credit Bible Colleges that have good teaching and Bible Survey courses. However, the GOD of the Jewish people lays out a great structure with the Book of Genesis and the unique characters in scripture.

All good writers introduce their thesis with an overview of the purpose of its contents. Our Heavenly Father also does this with the Bible, but few might have misunderstood HIS opening statement. The GOD of Israel’s opening statement “In the Bible beginning” was much more than a scientific argument of Creation vs. Evolution.

The account of Genesis is not a scientific report or Journal to catalog the results of an experiment. It is the inspired Word of God given to Moses as an account of His creative Word. It is the expression of an Eternal God that simply spoke things into existence. Hence 2 Peter 3:8 (KJV) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Therefore it is difficult for us to properly chronicle or grasp the account of creation given by an eternal omniscient God.

THOSE WHO HAVE THE EAR OF GOD 2

Editor: Val Gunter

Through the Hebrew eyes, the first chapter of Genesis is the establishing of a Jewish calendar of the LORD’s Sabbaths. Every seven days were cycles of time of experiencing Heaven on Earth.

(Archaeological Study Bible Notes)
Genesis is, strictly speaking, an anonymous work. Historical tradition, however, as well as Biblical attestation, assigns authorship to Moses (see, e.g., Mk 12:26; Lk 24:27; Jn 1:45; Ro 10:5; 2Co 3:15). Moses’ authorship would not have required him to write the entire book. In fact, all of the Genesis events took place long before Moses was born, indicating that he must have used sources. We might view Moses as an editor/historian who, in addition to receiving God’s direct and supernatural communication, drew together details of the family histories of Abraham and his descendants, as they existed in the Israelite community in Egypt, into a single text.
Scholars who question Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch (Ge – Dt) generally support one or another variant of the Documentary Hypothesis (see “The Documentary Hypothesis”).
If Moses did indeed write/compile Genesis, he must have done so during the Israelites’ exodus wandering period, probably between 1440 and 1400 B.C. (see “The Store Cities of Pithom and Rameses”, “The Pharaoh of the Exodus”, “The Date of the Exodus”, “The Hyksos and the Old Testament” and “The Conquest of Canaan”). Those scholars who suggest that the Pentateuch was written as a single work during the exile typically place the date of authorship at about 550 B.C.

THEMES
Genesis, the book of beginnings, includes the following themes:
Creation – God created the world “very good” (1:31). There was wholeness and harmony between God and humanity, among humans and between people and the rest of the created order. Sin – Sin entered the world through one man, Adam (3:1–19; Ro 5:12). Unbelief, human conflict, sickness and environmental degradation are its results. The image of God – All human beings are created in the image of God; each person is God’s likeness as a personal, rational, creative, moral being. Men and women were created equal. God’s global plan of redemption – Although God chose to work through one ethnic group in the Old Testament, His divine intention was that all nations would come to know Him through Abraham’s descendants (12:1–3). Abraham was chosen because of his faith, making him the father of all who come to God on the same basis.

Today we want to focus on Elijah, who was from Tishbe the counter part of John the Baptist.

The Bible recorded 16 noted miracles that are attributed to Elijah and he could prophesy an individual’s death. Moreover, John the Baptizer was graced to Baptize, or in Hebrew words, John carried the anointing to Immerse individuals into the grace covenant.

Jesus (Yeshua’s) disciples wanted to learn to pray like John’s disciples. Jesus warned them of the power of praying the doxology of 1 Chronicles 29:11 “, for kingship, power and glory are yours forever. Amen

King David’s revelation that higher doxology is required when ADONAI or Holy things are in close proximity of the Almighty.

Revelation 5:9-14
(NLT)
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and break its seals and open it.
For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
¹⁰ And you have caused them to become
a Kingdom of priests for our God.
And they will reign on the earth.”
¹¹ Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. ¹² And they sang in a mighty chorus:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered—
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing.”
¹³ And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
¹⁴ And the four living beings said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped the Lamb.

These kind of prayers transform you into the face of the Father, speaking power to HIS name.

Hallowing The Name of the LORD

Matthew 6:9
(Jewish New Testament Commentary)
9-13 These verses include what is widely known as the Lord’s Prayer, since it was taught by the Lord Yeshua. All of its elements may be found in the Judaism of Yeshua’s day, so in this sense it is not original with Him; but it is properly revered for its beauty and economy. Its first words, Our Father in heaven (Avinu sh’ba Shammayim), opens many Hebrew prayers. The next two lines recall the first portion of the synagogue prayer known as the Kaddish, which says, “Magnified and sanctified (Yitgadal v’yitkadash) be His great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will, and may He establish His Kingdom in your lifetime….” The plural phrasing-“Give us … forgive… lead us”-is characteristically Jewish, focusing on the group rather than the isolated individual.
The Evil One – The Greek may also be translated simply, “evil,” in the sense of “bad things that happen.” The Talmud (Kiddushin 81a) reports that “Whenever Rabbi Chiyya ben-Abba fell on his face [in prayer] he used to say, ‘May the Merciful One save us from the Tempter.’ “
[For kingship, power and glory are yours forever. Amen.] This doxology echoes 1 Chronicles 29:11. The oldest New Testament manuscripts lack it, hence the brackets. Roman Catholics do not include it when reciting the Lord’s Prayer; Protestants do. On “Amen” see 5:18 N; here it signals an expected congregational response.

Daniel 7:21-25
(TLB)
²¹  For I had seen this horn warring against God’s people and winning, ²²  until the Ancient of Days came and opened his court and vindicated his people, giving them worldwide powers of government.
²³  “This fourth animal,” he told me, “is the fourth world power that will rule the earth. It will be more brutal than any of the others; it will devour the whole world, destroying everything before it. ²⁴  His ten horns are ten kings that will rise out of his empire; then another king will arise, more brutal than the other ten, and will destroy three of them. ²⁵  He will defy the Most High God and wear down the saints with persecution, and he will try to change all laws, morals, and customs. God’s people will be helpless in his hands for three and a half years.

Proverbs 30:5-9
(TLB)
⁵  Every word of God proves true. He defends all who come to him for protection. ⁶  Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
⁷  O God, I beg two favors from you before I die: ⁸  First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs! ⁹  For if I grow rich, I may become content without God. And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.

Hallow the Name of the Father

Matthew 3:1-6
(CWSB)
The Preaching of John (Mark 1:1-8; Luke 3:1-9, 15-17; John 1:19-28)
​¹ In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
² And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
³ For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
⁴ And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan,
⁶ And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

First, we must reject the worship of or bringing any cursed thing into your homes.

2 Kings 1:2-17
(NLT)
² One day Israel’s new king, Ahaziah, fell through the latticework of an upper room at his palace in Samaria and was seriously injured. So he sent messengers to the temple of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether he would recover.
³ But the angel of the LORD told Elijah, who was from Tishbe, “Go and confront the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is there no God in Israel? Why are you going to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether the king will recover? ⁴ Now, therefore, this is what the LORD says: You will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.’” So Elijah went to deliver the message.
⁵ When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you returned so soon?”
⁶ They replied, “A man came up to us and told us to go back to the king and give him this message. ‘This is what the LORD says: Is there no God in Israel? Why are you sending men to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.’”
⁷ “What sort of man was he?” the king demanded. “What did he look like?”
⁸ They replied, “He was a hairy man, and he wore a leather belt around his waist.”
“Elijah from Tishbe!” the king exclaimed.
⁹ Then he sent an army captain with fifty soldiers to arrest him. They found him sitting on top of a hill. The captain said to him, “Man of God, the king has commanded you to come down with us.”
¹⁰ But Elijah replied to the captain, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and destroy you and your fifty men!” Then fire fell from heaven and killed them all.
¹¹ So the king sent another captain with fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, the king demands that you come down at once.”
¹² Elijah replied, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and destroy you and your fifty men!” And again the fire of God fell from heaven and killed them all.
¹³ Once more the king sent a third captain with fifty men. But this time the captain went up the hill and fell to his knees before Elijah. He pleaded with him, “O man of God, please spare my life and the lives of these, your fifty servants. ¹⁴ See how the fire from heaven came down and destroyed the first two groups. But now please spare my life!”
¹⁵ Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him, and don’t be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went with him to the king.
¹⁶ And Elijah said to the king, “This is what the LORD says: Why did you send messengers to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Is there no God in Israel to answer your question? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.”
¹⁷ So Ahaziah died, just as the LORD had promised through Elijah. Since Ahaziah did not have a son to succeed him, his brother Joram became the next king. This took place in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.

Acts 12:1-5
(New Living Translation)
James Is Killed and Peter Is Imprisoned
​¹ About that time King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church. ² He had the apostle James (John’s brother) killed with a sword. ³ When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter. (This took place during the Passover celebration.) ⁴ Then he imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover. ⁵ But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.

Mostly, all Bibles have gotten rid of the demonic name of Easter from their translations of Acts 12:4.

Acts 12:4
(NKJV)
⁴ So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.

Acts 12:4
(CJB 2016)
⁴  so when Herod seized him, he threw him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each, with the intention of bringing him to public trial after Pesach.

Acts 12:4
(AMP)
⁴ And when he had seized [Peter], he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of soldiers of four each to guard him, purposing after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.

Acts 12:4
(NIV 1984)
⁴ After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.

Acts 12:4
(MSG)
⁴ and had him thrown in jail, putting four squads of four soldiers each to guard him. He was planning a public lynching after Passover.

Acts 12:4
(TLB)
⁴  and imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of sixteen soldiers. Herod’s intention was to deliver Peter to the Jews for execution after the Passover.
