On this day. At about this time. Yahusha died for us. Blows my mind every year!

Tip...
Who else has chickens? YT taught me about fermenting my feed. I have 3 buckets going on a rotation. The feed goes further, less waste, and the fermenting promotes health! Win win win!

But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, "Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?" And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:11-12

This man was invited and admitted to the wedding feast, but was kicked out again. What does that say about those who are "in" and the doctrine of eternal security? Not all who are in the Kingdom now will be allowed to remain beyond Judgment Day.

In Matthew 8:3 Yeshua touched the leper before making him clean. How many years had this man been alone? Touching the untouchable was as much an act of healing as was removing the man's leprosy. Yeshua didn't need to touch him to heal him. Later in this chapter, he won't even have to see the Centurion's servant to heal him. Yet he chose to touch the leper anyway.

Note also that, even though Yeshua had already healed the man of tzaraat, he still told him to be examined by a priest and offer the required sacrifice: Obey Yeshua. Keep Torah.

Yeshua was also sending a message to the priests: "I'm not just putting on a show. I'm the real deal."

The Hebrew paragraph divisions:

Gen 2:1-3 {p} Seventh day of Creation
Gen 2:4-3:15 {s} Disobedience to YHVH’s command is sin
Gen 3:16 {s} Consequences for the woman (painful toil)
Gen 3:17-21 {p} Consequences for the man (painful toil)
Gen 3:22-24 {s} Exile from YHVH’s presence is a consequence of sin

In Gen 3 we begin seeing the second Hebrew paragraph division which God has embedded within the text of the Bible, the weak paragraph division. We mark it with {s} because its name in Hebrew begins with the ‘s’ sound. The weak division generally means, continuing in the same topic, but a new facet of it. We will come back to the weak division.

Another biblical teaching tool is History that Prophesies. The history recorded in the Bible is true history, events that actually happened, but those events prophesy of things to come. This characteristic is unique among the written histories of the world.

And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because in it He rested from all His work which God in creating had made. Gen 2:1-3

While the heaven and the earth were new, and still perfect, unmarred by any evil or sin, God set apart the seventh day – the Hebrew meaning of hallowed – as a day of resting from work.

But then sin did enter the perfect Creation in the very next chapter:

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate; and she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Gen 3:6

God meted out the consequences of their sin, first to Eve:

To the woman He said, ‘I will greatly multiply your toil in your labor; in toil you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.’ Gen 3:17

And then to Adam:

And to Adam He said, ‘Because you have paid heed to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, “You shall not eat of it;” cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life.’ Gen 3:18

The two consequences share the same characteristic: each will be painful toil for them; in fact, the word translated toil is the same word in Hebrew in both verses.

The traditional understanding of Gen 3:16, the woman’s painful toil, is that she will experience pain in childbirth. But the Hebrew makes it clear that her role of bringing forth children does not stop with just bearing them, but also raising them. The husband’s painful toil is similar in that it continues daily; with the added responsibility of knowing that his success at toiling means the difference between his wife and children being able to eat or go hungry.

Painful toil, daily labor, is the consequence of sin. But God in His grace extended mercy to man and woman before they ever sinned: He set aside the seventh day as a day of rest from labor from the foundation of the world. Every seventh day, men and women can lay down the consequence of their sin, their painful toil, burden, and responsibility, and enjoy a respite as a gift of grace.

So Sabbath rest is the first teacher of the gospel of grace. The history happened, but it also prophesied of the gospel of grace to come. The earned result of sin leads to death, but the undeserved free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, not by work, lest any man should boast (Eph 2:8-9). Respite, salvation is given to us freely as a gift, because God is a gracious and merciful God from the foundation of the world.

#Genesis 2 #BibleForBeginners #Bible #BibleStudy #KnowYourBible
alittleperspective.com/genesis-2/

Yesterday we learned that God’s teaching tools are embedded within the text of the Bible. This was the doing of the Holy Spirit, and not man, for the Holy Spirit of God inspired man to write God’s words and not man’s words. Just one proof is the myriad of amazing prophecies recorded in Scripture, hundreds or thousands of years before the events which fulfilled them. The words of man cannot tell the future with such accuracy. The Hebrew paragraph divisions are:

Gen 1:1-5 {p} First day of Creation
Gen 1:6-8 {p} Second day of Creation
Gen 1:9-13 {p} Third day of Creation
Gen 1:14-19 {p} Fourth day of Creation
Gen 1:20-23 {p} Fifth day of Creation
Gen 1:24-31 {p} Sixth day of Creation
Gen 2:1-3 {p} Seventh day of Creation
Gen 2:4-3:15 {s} …

Another common teaching tool is Comparison and Contrast. An example of this teaching tool is right here in Gen 2. When we compare the creation accounts of Gen 1 with Gen 2, we find that they make a contrast. Gen 2:5 seems to begin a new narrative, another account of the Creation, however not similar to the account in Gen 1:1-2:3. Because of it, many have charged that the Bible is full of contradictions. However, if the Bible is the true Word of God (for example, see Psa 119:160), logic tells us that truth cannot contradict itself and remain true. Instead, the two accounts contrast because there has been a change of author.

“These are the generations of the heaven and the earth …” Gen 2:4

The word “generations” is the Hebrew toledoth, meaning account, or history, or even, book. Genesis contains many toledoth signatures, a custom of the ancient Near East when the author signed his eyewitness testimony at its end. It means that Gen 1:1-2:3 is the account of one author, with Gen 2:4 the signature or toledoth of that author. Gen 2:5 forward is the account of another author. Who wrote down the second account? Well, the only man alive to witness the events recorded in this section was Adam (and we will see Scripture bear this out going forward). He is the author, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, so it still remains the Word of God.

That Genesis is a very ancient written record, and not an oral record until the time of Moses, has been proven by linguistic evidence embedded in the text, which has remained unchanged since Moses compiled it.

That begs the question, who wrote Gen 1:1-2:3? The answer must be, logically, the only one alive to witness the events recorded – God. The Bible itself says, in the toledoth, that what preceded was the generation, or origin, of the heaven and the earth (Gen 2:4). God gave the history from Gen 1:1-2:3 to Adam, and Adam then added his own eyewitness account in Gen 2. The two accounts are not contradictory, but instead the same event witnessed from two different perspectives. God relayed His account in Gen 1:1-2:3 chronologically; however, Adam relayed his account according to a different criteria. We get in trouble when we expect every narrative in the Bible to be chronological. Understanding this eliminates half the charges of contradictions that come up.
