The story of Genesis 3 begins with this line in Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?” M23 In reading this verse from
The serpent asked this question in Genesis 3:1. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?” M54 The following was the response from the woman in
Then the serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! For God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” M74 These words, spoken by the serpent in Genesis 3:4-5, was the best sales pitch to overcome
In Genesis 3:6-7. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasing to the eyes and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and
Then they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. The Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” He

The Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed above all livestock, and above every beast of the field; you will go on your belly, and you will eat dust all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her

And to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ Cursed is the ground on account of you; in hard labor you will eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns and
The man called his wife’s name Eve because she was the mother of all the living. The Lord God made garments of skins for both Adam and his wife and clothed them. The Lord God said, “The man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. And now, he might reach out his
It is my hope these books have enlightened those that have read it and their perspective on God’s Word. These three books are similar to the sides of a prism.

This is the second book in the series, and it builds upon the knowledge presented in the first. Just like the first book, it is written to take our understanding of scripture further. This process gets us closer to understanding the truth that was staring us in the face for centuries. I do hope and
Everything started when God created the heavens, and it spilled over to earth. For, in the end, Jesus says, the heavens and the earth will pass away. What will remain is recorded in Matthew 24:32-35. “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: When its branch becomes tender and grows leaves, you know that summer
In Genesis 2:4 we find, the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.M74 Two very important things are being said in this verse. The first is that we now have an account of the heavens and the earth
On the fifth day in Genesis 1:24-30 God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.

In Genesis 2:8-9, the Lord God planted a garden in the east, in Eden, and there He placed the man whom He had formed. Out of the ground, the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst
In Genesis 2:10-14, a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it encompasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The

In Genesis 2:18-20 the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him.” Out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he
No suitable helper was found for Adam so that’s why in Genesis 2:21-24. The Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. Then He took one of his ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, He made into

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”M19 I have read these ten words from Genesis 1:1 over a hundred times, without stopping to think about the meaning behind these words.

In Genesis 1:2 it is written, the earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water.M35 From my perspective six things are being said, and a lot of things appear to be happening in between them. The fact
