In The Beginning
Beginning; That which is first; the first state; commencement; entrance into being.
To have an original or first existence; to take rise; to commence.
The apostle begins our knowledge in the creatures, which leads us to the knowledge of God.
From Nimrod first the savage race began.
And tears began to flow.
(Webster.
) For even the prophets of God were in the beginning; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began.
In the beginning, after God had created man, we see that there was peace and tranquility.
Never before in the history of the earth was this so.
Per the prophecies of the end days, there shall be one more time of this event; "The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
" (Isa 14:7) Was man only created in Adam, or was there a predecessor of Adam, or another age, this is just a thought.
For the times before are a representation of things to come, and the reason for it.
For as the Bible states, even the Old Testament was a school master, teaching the things of the past and the things to come.
There are many things in the Scriptures that give us times to pause, and consider the meaning, and the words.
For there is no man nor religion that have all the answers, nor meanings, of the entire scripture.
It is for the individual to seek out and ponder the word of God for the answers they seek.
Here is another example of this, lets read; Gen 1:28; And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
" Replenish; To recover former fullness.
Former; Before in time; preceding another or something else in order of time.
Past, and frequently ancient, long past.
Near the beginning; preceding; as the former part.
(Webster) In this verse we ponder the meaning of not only the verse, but also the words.
1.
"replenish the earth";To recover; does this mean that there was a former and it was destroyed? 2.
"subdue it"; To soften; to melt; to reduce to tenderness.
Was the former age a violent time? 3.
"have dominion over"; Sovereign or supreme authority; the power of governing and controlling.
"For inquire,I pray thee, of the former age.
" (Job 8.
) Was there a former age before Adam? Was there a history of man, and if so did his dominion upon the earth, and in his destruction, come from disobedience to God, I believe so.
Many believe that this is where the dinosaur came from, and was eventually destroyed.
This was, I believe, the former age that had to be replenished upon the earth.
You ask, Does this have anything to do with Christ and Salvation? The answer is yes.
For if we ignore the past we shall make the same mistakes again.
Many times in scripture Jesus and the Prophets, looked to the past, the former, and not the latter.
They were teaching us the former, to allow us to understand the present, and the future.
Remember that God is from, everlasting to everlasting.
He is, what was, what is, and what shall be.
There was no beginning with God, and there will be no end.
This also means that there is no middle.
Many people have gotten to the point that they have limited God to just the scriptures.
They have the idea that only in the scriptures does God exist.
They have forgotten that God is everywhere at all times, and at all places.
Was this word, from God, just a book written as it was given to man by Gods inspiration? The answer is simple; No.
God is not just contained, in the Bible, for God is the Bible.
He is never limited to just the word, just a building, nor just a single Church.
For even God has asked, "What house shall you build me?" But Solomon built him an house.
"Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?"(Act 7:47 49) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(John 1:1-3) "In the beginning was the Word," This was the way it was before God had created this earth and all things seen, and unseen.
Was Jesus the Word? Yes.
We see that in the beginning, God, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, were.
There has never been a separation one from another.
For one cannot exist without the other for all are God.
("For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
") The word of God is a Declaration, or Affirmation, of the truth.
And; "these three are one.
" For in the beginning there was God, no beginning.
This very fact is beyond all comprehension.
For our minds cannot understand nor visualize any one or thing that did not have a beginning.
For in the beginning there was God.
Man has tried to teach false doctrines about the beginning of all things, just as with the big bang theory, but they never explain where the material came from for the big bang.
They cannot accept the facts of Gods dominion over all things from the beginning of the beginning.
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
" (Gen 1:27) In the image of God man was created, in His likeness, but not in the essence of His Spirit.
Man was given a free spirit, to think, reason, and choose, there-by the fall of man came.
Why did this happen? Man was given dominion over all things that had breath upon the earth.
Eve was deceived by an ambassador of Satan, not using Her dominion over this serpent, to rebuke it.
Adam fell because, even though, he had dominion over all things that had breath upon the earth, he forgot that, being the first(The beginning.
), he also had dominion over Eve(The Woman.
).
With this free spirit, to think, reason, and choose, Adam was also deceived,and fell from grace.
And this was the beginning, of the end.
