“Genesis is not only the oldest complete book in the world, its earlier chapters appear to embody records far more ancient than Moses, going back to the very beginning of human history (Luke 1:70). About these there is nothing distinctively Hebrew, their simplicity of treatment and subject belongs to the dawn of civilisation, and they have interesting features in common with the earliest Egyptian and Chaldean literature. It is not, however, a mere compilation of old annals, but a religious history, whose unity and symmetry show that it was penned throughout with a definite design. Genesis falls into twelve natural divisions beginning Gen. 1:1, 2:4, 5:1, 6:9, 10:1, 11:10, 11:27, 25:12, 25:19, 36:1, 36:9, and 37:2, all save the first headed by ‘These are the generations [i.e., “offspring”: compare Matt. 3:7, A.V. and R.V.] of.’ The first five portions refer to General, and the last seven to Church History; and their relative lengths are very significant. Its keynote is Called and chosen (Matt. 22:14; 1 Peter 3:9).”

Have you ever seen a baby’s nursery decorated with Noah’s Ark? Compare that image to the real biblical description.

#GodsWord #DailyBible #jesusfollower #asl #signlanguage by @shesignsscripture

Too many Noah’s Ark nursery sets may have dulled our understanding of God’s “[blotting] out man whom [He had] created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens.”

There was a heavy price to pay when “the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and … every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” And the LORD saw.

(He still sees.)

“Observe, that although we may use types to illustrate and confirm doctrines, we cannot prove doctrines from them; also that search for new and far-fetched types often leads us astray. There are quite enough unmistakable ones to afford study for our whole lives. Here again the Bible is its own best explanation.
“(b) Predictions, or prophecies in words or speech, which are either (1) Direct, i.e., referring only to Christ (e.g., Zech. 9:9); (2) Indirect, having a primary historical fulfilment in some one who partially realised what Christ realised wholly (e.g., Psalm 72). …
“These Predictions fall into three classes—viz., those fulfilled at the first Advent, those to be fulfilled at the second Advent, and those that have a double fulfilment in both.”

“THE COMING MESSIAH. - It has been well said that the best key to the mystery of the written Word is the mystery of the Incarnate Word. So, beginning at Moses, we trace the dominant theme of the Bible (Luke 24:27), its one great Hope of ever-growing brightness, brought at each crisis in the providential history of the world within narrower limits, and illustrated by fresh details. There are two kinds of Messianic prophecy.
(a) Types, or prophecies in picture or action. ‘Type’ means ‘likeness,’ and Scripture types are ‘likenesses’ of good things to come, or earthly shadows of heavenly substances. We discriminate typical (1) Persons - e.g., Moses; (2) Things - e.g., Manna; (3) Ordinances - e.g., the Day of Atonement; (4) Offices - e.g., Prophet, Priest, and King; (5) Events - e.g., the Exodus; (6) Acts - e.g., the burial of Jeremiah’s girdle. These last are often called Signs.”

“This term we read one great poem, and two of the historical books of Moses, which contain four archaic fragments of Hebrew verse and two magnificent odes—viz.,
(a) Lamech’s Sword-song (Gen. 4:23, 24).
(b) Noah’s Prophecy concerning his sons, an epitome of universal history (Gen. 9:25-27) [forgot to sign reference].
(c) Jehovah’s Prophecy concerning Rebekah’s sons, an epitome of Israel’s history (Gen. 25:23).
(d) Isaac’s Prophecy concerning his sons, an amplification of (c) (Gen. 27:27-29, 39, 40).
(e) Jacob’s Benediction, giving the destinies of the Twelve Tribes (Gen. 49).
(f) Moses’ Song of Victory, in three stanzas, the grandest national hymn ever sung to the glory of Jehovah and to liberty, and the first specimen of responsive choral music (Exod. 15:1-18).”
