    MODULE 2: SESSION 11: Genesis 1 Imagery in Jeremiah 4

    The words used to describe the pre-creation state in Genesis—tohu va-vohu—mean “wild and waste” (e.g., Jer. 4:23). Wild and waste, darkness, and the deep waters are images for the pre-creation state of non-order. Jeremiah is activating day one of Genesis but reversing it. He’s…

    MODULE 2: SESSION 11: The Hebrew Bible as a Mosaic

    Reading the narrative of hyperlinking of the Hebrew Bible l think the hyperlinking is very necessary for a better understanding. My thinking is for instance, David was not the first King of Israel therefore it required you reading the story of Samuel then how…

    One key lesson I learned from this section is the deep connection between Creation and Heaven and how both are central to the biblical narrative. The teaching emphasizes that Creation is not an accident or a temporary stage but part of God’s eternal purpose. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible presents a big…

    • Imagine that the beauty we experience in this life like waterfalls, clear blue waters, and nature’s wonders are just glimpses of what is to come and that Human destiny is not just about living in a renewed land but about the beatific vision seeing God face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12). What a wonderful lesson.

      MODULE 2: SESSION 10: Literary Design in Genesis 2: 4-17

      The writings in Genesis 2: 4-17 have been designed in a repetitive style linking each a every line with a verb interlinked to each other. You find a narrative starting with Human then garden then human, afterward garden or waters, human and garden, waters and finally human…

      MODULE 2; session 10: The Beginning and Nothingness

      According to John Walton there is an ancient Near Eastern cosmology, the “cosmic sea” which belongs to the pre-creation state, and this is a neutral, functionless state of non-organization and lifelessness.

      Further, this explains about the reshit as used in the book of Genesis…

      MODULE 2: SESSION 10: The Origin of the Bible from Historical Perspective

      The most important thing for people to understand about the compositional process of the Bible or about the nature of the Bible as human and divine is that the Bible is the collection of preexisting material that have been brought into…

      MODULE 2: SESSION 9: What the Prophets Say About the Bible’s Origin

      Genesis 1 and 2 relates to one another in such a way that both of them explains the creation of heaven and earth and everything in it. The Genesis 1 acts as a portrait, depicting what is going to happen, in fact it is a pictorial presentation or…

      MODULE 2: SESSION 9: Ancient Babylonian Cosmology

      The common ground between ancient Babylonian cosmological accounts and the Hebrew Bible all is that ancient Babylonian cosmology do believe that in the beginning everything was in a chaotic water state before ordering of the universe and the Israelite cosmology entails that…

      From the passage, I have learned that the story of Creation and its unfolding through the covenants is not just a theological narrative but a formative process for the worldview of God’s people. Scripture is not just a source of information; it is a spiritual practice that shapes both individuals and the church…
