JAN 3 : GEN 2:4-3:24

 


With today's homework we would have covered 16 major themes that will recur throughout His Word.  They often appear with many such similar themes found with its base in the Gen 1:1 to Gen 3:24 cluster.  We will examine these patterns as we cover our daily reading sessions.  

So what do these combined readings of Jan 2 and Jan 3 reveal?

It starts with the preparation of everything for mankind. therefore our verbiage should reflect such.

Theme 1:Creation till mankind or Everything created for man or New Creation before mankind existed

Theme 2: Mankind in God's image to oversee creation or Mankind made in the image of God to have dominion over God's creation

So work on all these themes which is different from the parallelism we saw within Genesis Chapter 1.  The last theme seems like a punishment for the disobedience by removal from the land.



  


This is only one of the verses but our goal is to seek if the 16 major themes are actually also found in Cain's story which is tomorrow's study!  Be patient and you will be rewarded with an amazing time in His Word.

This is an interesting way God as Father has placed repeats for His imperfect children or individuals like us to take note of. He is lovingly "nagging" at us His children to follow the TRUTH !


Jan 2 continuation

 Please let's continue our daily lesson plans as indicated below:


Tips and connecting themes will be provided usually after you have studied for yourself.  This way you would have probably observed some of the tips provided.  This will make our weekend Bereans' ZOOM sessions very engaging (as I facilitate the initial seasons until others want to participate too). 


This is still a Jan 2nd thematic study ....hoping you have already read this section.  




This morning I wrote a reflection on how to observe the themes connecting even within the same first chapter. Kindly review that post.  Tips for this Day 1 to Day 4 connection comes from observing the first mention of the word "Light". 

This parallelism can give us greater insight into how creation lights will eventually end and how we live in eternity with only His Glorious Light.


Now to observe how after seeing Day 1 connected to Day 4 we can plot Day 2 to Day 5.

Ready?



The tips for these are: there are two type of creations which fill the separation of the waters. Examine how the waters take shape and how the creatures fill it.


and finally Day 3 to Day 6



This is Day 3 which is Resurrection???  What is coming forth and for what purpose? Who is blessed?



Look out for Jan 3 "questions and tips" slides when you get up tomorrow morning!


EYES TO SEE




The year has started and our goal to complete our yearly reading of His Word begins!

Our first day's reading had us review in a cursory form Genesis 1:3 to 1:5 and Gen 1:14 to 1:19 without us seeing what a spiritual discerning eye should have seen, the connection!

So what is there to SEE!

1. Creator's light and creation's lights because in the end creation's lights do not exist (Isa 60:19, Rev22:5).  What should this tell us about the worship of the sun (posture in yoga's indoctrination) and the moon (fastest growing people group) and or mother nature for that matter (currently trending with tax implication).

2. Evening and morning denotes the calendar is a lunar one and not our Gregorian. The sign and season emphasizes that major events in all of civilization seems to have occurred on these Fall and Spring feasts days.  Keep our eyes open to the next Spring feast starting around April so we can see what this means.

3. The sun is a star and there is a generation of the birthing of stars (Gen2:4) that seems to indicate that the universe is still reproducing, as the earth is.  Is this the unending birthing and death of the heavenlies till the scroll is rolled up (Rev6:14)?  

We must have read a few pages but why rush it if we desire to SEE HIM!

3 years study plan - Details for Jan 1 and Jan 2

 


This is the schedule for the first week of 2023.  Although this is a 3 years plan it will require us reading at least 2 pages of our massive 2,200 plus pages LOVE guide. In theory that will be 365 multiply by 3 which is equal to 1,095 and 2 pages a day will get us there.  Missing out a couple of days will also mean we can catch up quickly.  We certainly spend more time reading other materials which are far less of importance than this.




Exploring themes are made easy with these instructive slides.  They direct us to observe what seems clearly discernable. Obviously as Bereans we can come up with much more and the sharing time on your chosen day over the weekend will unveil your findings and observations.  The comment column can also become handy for this dialogue when we become too busy to attend these ZOOM sessions.  Those who have the time can also attend both.  

This approach is likened as unto a FATHER instructing his children who are growing but still in different stages of immaturity, being told the same instructions.  This repeat is necessary because there is only ONE who is infallible.  Therein lies our thematic patterns from Genesis to Revelation which cannot be misunderstood if followed to the tee.

As facilitators those assigned to handle each session will guide and direct accordingly.  Kindly avail yourselves to this task when you start seeing that all can become one.  His TRUTH is discernable to everyone who does their own research.






Also, we are working with (unpublished) color coded material both in English and the original language so that we can pick up flaws which are evident in the more simplistic translations found in many of our versions.  This will help us reach a better understanding of the original intent of everything God wanted us to know.  We have now taken on the role of Bereans checking in detail as the last generation, exploring these mysteries as instructed by Daniel and John.  This we must do as our households depend on us reflecting Him right so that He can give the increase. 




Finally, lets explore what the early fathers who worked with key "Word or Phrase" themes connected together from different part of His Old and New Testaments, did. This combination of writings of these historian, prophets, apostles, psalmist and other authors connected these themes together assuring us that they too used the first five books as a basis of everything they wrote except when the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not quoted accurately or directly.  Almost every other writings are a narrative plot or dialogue of these humans that if not aligned to His Word does not need our attention at all.


Playfully I will be back tomorrow to cover more that needs to be done for the balance of the week. Peace be with you ...His Peace!

Why should we even bother with reading His Word


 Romans 1 tells us the extend the current world events can indoctrinate us to know everything else but the TRUTH. This will also mean that the events of Revelation are within reach yet not known in its exactness. 

Both the books of Daniel and Revelation urge us to dig deeper to know this TRUTH as His mysteries are made known to those who seek in this season of unimaginable wickedness. 

As everything around us crashes we are assured of Him not leaving us nor forsaking us. The current 3 years study of the Bible will lead us to thematic patterns that will reassure us of this consistency in TRUTH.

I am looking forward to this wonderful journey as He unfold these mysteries to us, Bereans.

2023 3 years bible reading plan


 In preparation for 2023 it will be great as Bereans to slow down our study to observe His patterns in thematic form. 

Therefore to achieve this purpose I have decided to come up with questions to investigate the 16 possible thematic patterns found in the first 3 Chapters of Genesis. 

This is repeated throughout the Bible making Revelation more easily discernable and hence a mapping against all current events more obvious.
