| the quick look | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| this is a post that for me will try and show (imo) what most | |
| miss in the bible story | |
| * this is not saying 'others" are right or wrong ; but instead | |
| its bringing out a few points that don't seem to be discussed | |
| john 5 | |
| 39 You study[a] the Scriptures diligently because you think that | |
| in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures | |
| that testify about me, | |
| * we search the bible | |
| * we seek eternal life | |
| * the bible speaks of Jesus | |
| * the bible is a testimony about Jesus | |
| what about Jewish history ? | |
| yes there is Jewish history within the bible ; but there is also | |
| the word "cow" and the bible story is not about "cow" concerning | |
| its intended message the intended message is "JESUS" | |
| THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE ARE OUT OF ORDER | |
| IF ( and it is so) this is God's story than shouldn't we look at | |
| it the way he presented it ? | |
| the way God presented it ; was it not in chronological order? | |
| SEE JANE RUN; we look and Jane runs | |
| but if we change it to run; see Jane then we are the ones | |
| running and looking | |
| they may be the same words but the intended message is not the | |
| same | |
| Matthew one | |
| ~* whose mother was | |
| In the verses ( 1-7) we meet these four women | |
| each of these women live in a different time period | |
| * Tamar; is from the time period of genesis post flood | |
| * Rahab; is from the time period of journey to the promised | |
| land | |
| * Ruth; is from the time period of time of judges | |
| * Bathsheba; is from the time period of David the king | |
| with this in mind there are two points to be brought out | |
| 1- the scriptures speak of Jesus | |
| 2- these four women are from different time periods | |
| note; these 4 time period do not cover the entire bible ; so we | |
| must ask | |
| what are the other time periods? I list 11 time periods as I see | |
| them | |
| 1- genesis pre-flood | |
| 2- genesis post flood | |
| 3-journey to the promised land | |
| 4- time of judges | |
| 5-David ; the king | |
| 6- prophets and captivity | |
| 7- the gospels | |
| 8-book of acts | |
| 9 letters of Paul | |
| 10 - the Jerusalem ( council) response | |
| 11- Revelation | |
| NOTE ; the book of acts to the book of revelation cannot add to | |
| the story of the "birth; life; and death of Jesus ; at best they | |
| can only give commentary to these events which have already | |
| taken place tough they may or may not speak to the "return" of | |
| Jesus | |
| as we look at this story ( the one of the bible which speaks of | |
| Jesus ) we must look at why he came into this world. | |
| John 1 | |
| New International Version (NIV) | |
| The Word Became Flesh | |
| 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and | |
| the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through | |
| him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has | |
| been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all | |
| mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness | |
| has not overcome[a] it. | |
| 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came | |
| as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through | |
| him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came | |
| only as a witness to the light. | |
| 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into | |
| the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made | |
| through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that | |
| which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to | |
| all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he | |
| gave the right to become children of God� 13 children born not | |
| of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband�s will, | |
| but born of God. | |
| *to become ; means that before this ---you are not! | |
| that thing that you are not until this --is children of God ; or | |
| said another way not in the family of God | |
| this being "outside" the family of God is THE PROBLEM | |
| THIS HAS BROUGHT US TO THE FIRST THEME ( IMO) OF THE BIBLE STORY | |
| I- THE PROBLEM | |
| (1) GENESIS PRE-FLOOD | |
| AT THE CREATION OF ADAM; | |
| God molded the body of Adam {flesh} from the dust of the earth | |
| and then placed the The Image of God {the soul of Adam} within | |
| that body | |
| and Adam became a living being | |
| later from this body of Adam ( with its image of god inside of | |
| it ) | |
| Eve came forth ( see gets her soul {that image of God} through | |
| Adam) | |
| God created them {singular} male and female | |
| for Adam and Eve are one | |
| and are not two separate creations | |
| they are family ; both with each other as well as with God | |
| ORIGINAL SIN | |
| In time the stranger comes along (serpent) | |
| and a stranger is not part of the family | |
| as first Eve and then Adam listen and act upon the words of the | |
| stranger | |
| they leave the family; the family of God | |
| as we next see the scene of nakedness ; we should note | |
| it wasn't nakedness as the issue ; it was nakedness before those | |
| not in the family | |
| for did Adam and Eve hide their nakedness from each other? | |
| original sin is leaving the family of God. | |
| AFTER leaving the family of God what family are the children to | |
| come from? | |
| THE PROBLEM IS mankind is out of the family of God. | |
| the flood comes ( for reasons we wont go into here) | |
| and the story moves into the post-flood world | |
| with mankind out of the family of God | |
| what will it take to provide a way back for mankind ? | |
| II- ISSUES AND LESSONS | |
| (2) GENESIS POST FLOOD | |
| In this story God has broken mankind into seven divisions in | |
| order to set the stage for this story of how Jesus is providing | |
| a way back for mankind into the family of God. | |
| There are 3 sons of Noah and all of post-flood mankind will | |
| descend back to one of these sons. | |
| Jesus will enter this world thru the linage of Shem. AND Shem is | |
| Melchizedek making Jesus of this order of MELCHIZEDEK {Shem}. | |
| This separates or splits off the other two sons of Noah from the | |
| line that leads to Jesus. {see below} | |
| Shem ---------------------1-Japheth | |
| ---------------------2-Ham | |
| AS STATED | |
| ABOVE Shem is Melchizedek and as Melchizedek he meets up with | |
| Abraham. | |
| Abraham | |
| ( the tenth * {the tithe} from Shem if you count CUSH as seen in | |
| Luke 3 where... | |
| the son | |
| of *** 10 Abraham, | |
| ( with the addition seen here of #2 Cainan ( son of ham? is | |
| added in here as adopted by Noah and place below the son of Shem | |
| ?) | |
| the son of 9-Terah, the son of 8-Nahor,35 the son of 7-Serug, | |
| the son of6- Reu,the son of5- Peleg, the son of 4-Eber,the son | |
| of 3-Shelah, 36 the son of 2- Cainan,the son of 1-Arphaxad, the | |
| son of Shem, | |
| NOW Abraham has been traveling with his nephew Lot ; but LOT is | |
| not who Jesus will come thru into the world ; like Japheth and | |
| Ham before him ; he too is dropped off form this line . { see | |
| below} | |
| Shem -------------------1- Japheth | |
| -------------------2- Ham | |
| Abraham ---------------3- Lot | |
| Abraham will have 2 sons ; one with Hagar and one with Sarah | |
| the line to Jesus will continue through Sarah's son Isaac | |
| this drops off Hagar's son Ishmael { see below} | |
| Shem ------------------ 1- Japheth | |
| ------------------ 2- Ham | |
| Abraham -------------- 3- Lot | |
| Isaac ------------------ 4- Ishmael | |
| Isaac like Abraham will also have two sons | |
| and the story repeats itself | |
| as Jesus will come thru the linage of Jacob | |
| thus; dropping off Esau {see below} | |
| Shem ----------------- 1- Japheth | |
| ----------------- 2- Ham | |
| Abraham ------------- 3- Lot | |
| Isaac------------------ 4- Ishmael | |
| Jacob ----------------- 5- Esau | |
| *** 1-2-3-4-5 ; WILL BE SEEN IN THE FEEDING OF THE 5000 AS THE | |
| BREAD ( BARLEY LOAVES) | |
| WHICH IS THE COMMON BREAD OF THE PEOPLE; | |
| THIS BRING US (of coarse) TO THE 2 FISH | |
| UP UNTIL THIS POINT this family line that leads to Jesus has | |
| been collecting promises from God | |
| and they have been passed down generation to generation . | |
| BUT NOW at the death of Jacob ; something has changed | |
| Jacob splits these promises into two groups | |
| all the promises now go to Joseph ( through his two sons ) with | |
| the exception of 2 | |
| these 2 are given over to Judah. | |
| these 2 are lawmaking and kingship. | |
| with this division of the family promises into two groups we see | |
| the origin of the two fish | |
| they are thru joseph ; the northern tribes ( kingdom) | |
| and thru Judah; the southern tribes ( kingdom) ----{see below} | |
| Shem-------------------------- 1- Japheth | |
| -------------------------- 2- Ham | |
| Abraham ----------------------3- Lot | |
| Isaac---------------------------4- Ishmael | |
| Jacob --------------------------5- Esau | |
| 6- the northern | |
| tribes Joseph | |
| JUDAH * IS LEFT AS #7 AND THE LINE THAT LEADS TO JESUS | |
| BUT we haven't left the | |
| genesis post flood story yet | |
| for this is the time period | |
| of TAMAR | |
| Tamar descends from Esau | |
| whose wife was the daughter of Ishmael | |
| this is the inheritance of Jesus | |
| that Jesus addresses with his BIRTH | |
| this is the order of Melchizedek | |
| it is the story line as to what Jesus as the son of man is doing | |
| in order to provide a way back for mankind into the family of | |
| God | |
| and with Tamar we see it includes those of Ishmael and Esau as | |
| well | |
| AND LIKE BIRTH LEADS TO LIFE | |
| SO THE STORY CONTINUES ........ | |
| (3) JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND | |
| AS WE ENDED THE STORY OF GENESIS POST-FLOOD | |
| THE CHILDREN OF JACOB WHERE IN EGYPT | |
| but time has past and a king of Egypt who has not know the story | |
| of Joseph has risen to power | |
| * | |
| EGYPT is a land of upper and lower Egypt where the kings may | |
| rule over the upper or lower and at times they may rule over | |
| both. we have entered a time when a king from lower Egypt has | |
| come to rule both upper and lower Egypt. being from lower Egypt | |
| he does not know the Joseph story. | |
| This is the lifetime of Moses, and God has selected him to bring | |
| the sons of Jacob into the Promised Land. Along the journey | |
| Moses is given the LAW( the ten commandments). Drawing closer to | |
| the Promised Land Moses dies before they go in. In fact the | |
| people will not be allowed to go in ; until a women is added to | |
| their group. | |
| her name is Rahab; and she descends from HAM ( thru Nimrod). | |
| Rahab will marry Salmon, a descendent of Judah and Tamar | |
| the people go into the promised land with HAM being added into | |
| the this line that leads to Jesus | |
| THIS TIME PERIOD IS ABOUT THE LIFE OF JESUS | |
| for it is in his lifetime that the LAW finds its only keeper. | |

| [size=24pt]it is very important to see just who got the law and | |
| who came into the promised land [/size] | |
| the quick answer "it was the Jews would be totally missing the | |
| intended message here ! | |
| for those northern tribes ; that will become to be lead by the | |
| descendants of the sons of Joseph ARE CERTAINLY NOT "JEWS" | |
| IN FACT IT IS THESE TEN NORTHERN TRIBES WHO GAVE THE TERM "JEWS" | |
| TO THE SOUTHERN TRIBES | |
| THESE TWO GROUPS WILL had their origin in the GENESIS POST | |
| FLOOD time period ; and will travel together through the time | |
| periods of journey to the Promised Land {as seen here} as well | |
| as the time of judges and the time period of David; the king--- | |
| before becoming separated ( for God's purposes) in the time | |
| period of prophets and captivity. | |
| these two groups; the northern and southern kingdoms will | |
| continue to be seen in the bible ( once we get past ; the time | |
| period of David ; the king ) as---..... | |
| * two sisters | |
| * two sons | |
| * widows and orphans | |
| * the prodigal son and older brother | |
| * the bride of Christ | |
| * those who get the talents | |
| * this flock and the other flock | |
| so it seems good to me ; in making sure the reader sees right | |
| now; just who they are and to what they go thru. | |
