Slide 6: 

These eleven chapters are absolutely vital in rightly understanding the remaining 1178 in the Bible. If one accepts them at face value, he will have no difficulty concerning the rest of the Old and New Testament. This stage spans a period of some 2000 plus years. The three important men of this stage are Adam, Enoch, and Noah. The four important events are, the Creation, the Fall, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel. It gives us the first human to be created (Adam) and the first human to be born (Cain ). The glory of God in creation (Gen. 1:1) and the grace of God in salvation (Gen. 6:8) are both clearly seen. This stage describes the first marriage, the first murder, and the first promise of the Messiah. The Creation order (Genesis 1-11) Who Wrote Genesis? Ancient Hebrew and Christian traditions say that Moses, guided by God, composed Genesis from ancient documents that were already in existence in his day. The book of Genesis ends about 300 years before Moses. Moses could have received this information only by direct revelation from God, or through such historical records as had been handed down from his forefathers. 1 October 2011 6 Creation Orders

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1: 

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 1:1 When, who, and what? The Bible’s very first verse tells us that a supernatural being brought the universe into existence: • When? “In the beginning . . .” • Who? “. . . God . . .” • What? “. . . created the heavens and the earth.” It is a simple statement of fact. While the verses that follow provide many details about God’s creative activity, they do not explain it in scientific terms. Believers accept it “by faith” (Heb. 11:3). The Wonders of Genesis 1:1 1:1 Tells us what God did. 1:2-2:25 Tells us how he did it. This is a summarization statement “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” It is also a refutation statement Philosophy Refuted: How Refuted: Atheism There is a God Polytheism There is but one God Pantheism He created all things Evolutionism He is apart from his creation Materialism Matter itself was created Existentialism There was a purpose to creation 1 October 2011 9 Creation Orders

John warned believers about three temptations: “the lust for physical pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions” (1 John 2:16). Satan subjected Eve to all three: • Eve saw that the fruit looked delicious (lust for physical pleasure); • That it “looked so fresh” (lust for everything we see); • And that it “would make her so wise” (pride). Satan tempted Jesus in a similar way (Matt. 4:1-11). 1 October 2011 10 Creation Orders

Corruption - Sin of Adam — Genesis 3–5: 

Corruption - Sin of Adam — Genesis 3–5 A. The subtlety of Satan He speaks through the serpent. He begins by doubting God’s Word. He ends by denying God’s Word. B. The sin of Adam He becomes the first human sinner. Chronologically, Eve ate first, but theologically, Adam is declared by the New Testament to be the original sinner.

He attempts (at last) to hide himself from God. 1 October 2011 13 Creation Orders

The flood passes and the ark rests upon the mountains of Ararat. Noah is told by God to “be fruitful and multiply upon the earth” (8:17; 9:1). God now establishes a rainbow covenant with Noah.

Man’s responsibility in Creation Order: 

Man’s responsibility in Creation Order At the beginning: Adam was asked to name all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. No suitable helper was found Adam, so God made a woman.

Creation was not destroyed until man (Noah) did his job! 1 October 2011 20 Creation Orders

When will this “end”?: 

When will this “end”? The Bible describes two births: “Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven” (John 3:6). • To have only one birth means to die twice: The unbeliever will suffer both physical and spiritual death (Heb. 9:27). • To have two births (John 3:3) means to die but once: The believer will never die spiritually (John 3:16). It was 1,656 years from Adam to the Flood; 427 years from the Flood to Abraham. Adam's life overlapped Methuselah's by 243 years. There were 126 years between the death of Adam and the birth of Noah. Noah lived 350 years after the Flood; he died two years before birth of Abraham. Shem lived from 98 years before the Flood until 502 years after the Flood. Shem lived until 75 years after Abraham entered Canaan. Noah lived to see the 9th generation of his own descendants. In a period of such longevity, the population increased very rapidly, although the ages became gradually shorter after the Flood Jesus will destroy every thing and handover the Kingdom to The Father - 1 Corinthians 15:24 “Delivered up” 1 October 2011 21 Creation Orders Two births
