    MODULE 5: SESSION 24: Heaven and Earth United in the Temple

    God’s work throughout Scripture consistently shows the pattern of bringing the heavenly reality into earthly life. In Eden, humanity experienced a sacred meeting place with God. Babylon becomes a contrasting image of humanity’s attempt to reach heaven on its own terms.…

    MODULE 5: SESSION 24: Repeated Words and Literary Design

    The meaning of a biblical passage is closely tied to its literary form, because the form itself communicates part of the message. In the same way that biblical poetry is carefully structured, biblical narratives also display intentional design with…

    MODULE 4: SESSION 23: Consequences of the Fail

    The Hebrew word itzabon conveys a sense of emotional grief, sorrow, and anguish rather than physical suffering. In Genesis 3:16–19, it is used to describe the deep consequences that both the man and the woman will endure after their disobedience. This term is often misunderstood as…

    SESSION 23: The Heavens

    In the Bible, the heavens symbolize the dwelling place of God, the fountain of life, and the ultimate reality that surpasses human existence. While Scripture affirms that God’s presence fills the entire universe and nothing is hidden from Him (Psalm 36; Psalm 139), the…

    • ADAM TO NOAH

      MODULE 4: SESSION 22: Design of Genesis 3:14-19

      Genesis 3:14-19 forms a pivotal poetic unit within the creation story, following the pattern of narrative sections that culminate in concise, densely packed poems. In these verses, God pronounces a curse not on the human beings but on the snake and the ground. The snake is condemned…

      SESSION 22: Ancient Cosmology in Psalm 36

      Psalm 36 displays the same ancient cosmology we’ve been looking at in Genesis 1 about the heavens above, the deep below, and the dry land in between. In the psalm, the dry land can be used as an image for the space of the wicked even though, as the psalm says,…

      • It is really fascinating how the arrangement of the Bible leads to one major point of focus: Jesus! Each unique story contains various unique stories that all come together to form the redemption story of Jesus.

          MODULE 4: SESSION 21: God’s Response to Human Failure

          God has always been interested in resolving chaos and co-rule with humans even where they have done something wrong. God’s response to human failure is an invitation to come out of hiding and dialogue with him. The story of humanity’s failure in the garden of Eden is less about a…

          • Amen! One of the greatest blessings we have is the ability to have this dialogue with God, to get to understand His will and to live in obedience to Him.
