The Bigger Picture

Isaac & Ishmael

Looking at father Abraham live in Genesis 17 - 22 we see that God blessed Ishmael although it was not His plan and the plans of impatience of Sarai and Abram. God came and give them new names, new beginning at the age of 89 and 99 years old. But with that he also affirms His promise and make a new covenant with Abraham whereby circumcision  was the sign. Yes Ishmael was also circumcised at age 13 and Abraham ask God to spare Ismael. God did not only spare him but made him a great nation.  God is just and fair, he let it rain over the just and the unjust.

The well of the Living One who sees me

The first time we see a well outside of the Garden of Eden. The Omnipresence of God is shown here where Hagar whom fled from her mistress into the wilderness / desert.  We look at the places in the Bible about " The Angel of the LORD" Reading from Genesis 16 ESV

The Floodwaters

Genesis 5  1. This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He  made him in the likeness of God. 2.

River of Life

S2E3 - Genesis 2 - Creation of man and God placed him in the garden that God himself planted and watered from below. As God did not let it rain then. We see the river of life flowing out of the garden  and the two trees in the midst of the garden, we skip to the last book and also see the tree of life and the river of life in Revelation 22. #salvationstudioza #thebiggepictureza follow us on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/salvationstudio7], YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCslPEbM2M7dfbQS3zw7kxyw] and Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/salvationstudioza/]

Without Form and Void

S2 Episode 2 Gen 1: 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. The Hebrew word used here for no form and void is, Tohu Wabohu. These two words next to each other were only used twice in the Bible. And on both occasions it was used in the same context as before creation. Jer 4:23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void, and to the heavens, and they had no light. Here Jeremiah is warning Judah what it is going to be like in the land of Judah (Southern Kingdom) if they do not repent and turn back to God. This description is pointing directly as empty and void before creation. It gives us also a good indication on creation as well, God created heaven and earth and darkness was there over the face of the deep.
