The Creation - millions of years ago
(???? B.C.)
By His Word, God created all things: “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
King James Version). The creation of the heavens and
the earth are also recorded in Genesis chapter 1:1 “In
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
When was the beginning? Well, we are not told exactly
when that was. Geologists confirm that the earth is
millions of years old
The Destruction of the “World that
Was” – thousands of years ago
(???? B.C.)
Verse two of Genesis chapter one tells us that the earth became
destroyed after the creation: “And the earth was without form, and
void; and darkness was upon the face of the water.” The word “was”
in verse two should be translated as the word “became.” And the
words “without form” would be better translated as “waste, or
desolate.” Thus, God created the heavens and the earth billions of
years ago and the earth later became wasted or desolate. This
desolation happened when God destroyed the world that then was
because of the Satan’s rebellion in that first age (Ezekiel 28). This
great destruction is also known in part as the ice ages and is
recorded in the II Book of Peter 3:5-6; “For this they willingly are
ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the
earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world
that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.” God does not
create anything void and without form (Isaiah 45:18), it became that
way.

earth are created in six

And the LORD God commanded the man,
saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat
freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat
from it you shall surely die.“ (Genesis 2:16-17)
When the woman
saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it
was a delight to the eyes,
and that the tree was
desirable to make one
wise, she took from its
fruit and ate; and she
gave also to her husband
with her, and he ate.
(Genesis 3:6)
THE FALL
the results from
taking and
eating the
forbidden fruit
And I will put enmity
between you and the
woman, and between
your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on
the head, and you shall
bruise him on the heel.

Genesis 11:1-2
Now the whole earth used the
same language and the same
words. 2 It came about as they
journeyed east, that they found a
plain in the land of Shinar and
settled there.
Genesis 11:3-4
They said to one another, “Come,
let us make bricks and burn them
thoroughly.” And they used brick for
stone, and they used tar for mortar. 4
They said, “Come, let us build for
ourselves a city, and a tower whose
top will reach into heaven, and let us
make for ourselves a name, otherwise
we will be scattered abroad over the
face of the whole earth.”
Genesis 11:9
Therefore its name was called
Babel, because there the LORD
confused the language of the whole
earth; and from there the LORD
scattered them abroad over the face of
the whole earth.

The Daughters of Zelophehad
The Daughters of Zelophehad were five sisters who lived
during the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, and who
raised before Moses the case of a woman's right and
obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male heir
in the family.
Zelophehad's daughters argued that were they not to
inherit, then Zelophehad's name would be lost to his clan.
(Num. 27:4.) Moses took their case to God. (Num. 27:5.)
God told Moses that the plea of Zelophehad's daughters
was just, and that they should be granted their father's
hereditary holding. (Num. 27:6–7.)
The Daughters of Zelophehad
… The Story Continues …
Later, the family heads of the clan of Manasseh's grandson Gilead
appealed to Moses and the chieftains, arguing that if Zelophehad's
daughters married men from another Israelite tribe, then their share
would be lost to the tribe of Manasseh and be added to the portion of
the tribe into which they married. (Num. 36:1–3.) So Moses, at God's
bidding, instructed the Israelites that the plea of the tribal leaders was
just and that Zelophehad's daughters could marry anyone they wished,
but only among the men of the tribe of Manasseh. (Num. 36:5–6.)
Zelophehad's daughters did as God had commanded Moses, and they
each married sons of their uncles. (Num. 36:10–11.) When the
Israelites entered the land, Zelophehad's daughters appeared before
Eleazer the priest, Joshua (who by then had assumed leadership from
Moses), and the chieftains, reminding them that God had commanded
Moses to grant them a portion among their kinsmen, and Zelophehad's
daughters received a portion in the holdings of Manasseh on the west
side of the Jordan River. (Josh. 17:4–6.)

THE BASIC FACT
There is one God Whom we should love fully
Shema Yisrael -- "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is
One" -- is perhaps the most famous of all Jewish sayings.
The Shema is a declaration of faith, a pledge of allegiance to
One God. It is said upon arising in the morning and upon going to
sleep at night. It is said when praising God and when beseeching
Him. It is the first prayer that a Jewish child is taught to say. It is
the last words a Jew says prior to death.
Originally, the Shema consisted only of one verse: Deut. 6:4. The
recitation of the Shema in the liturgy, however, consists of three
portions: Deut. 6:4-9, 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37-41. The
three portions relate to central issues of Jewish belief.

• Chapter Outline
• The Basic Fact
QUESTIONS?
THE BASIC TRUTH
By His power and grace God is faithful to bring us out of
bondage to sin into an inheritance of life
Deuteronomy 6:23 (New International Version)
23
But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the
land that he promised on oath to our forefathers.
Romans 8:1-2 (New International Version)
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set
me free from the law of sin and death.
THE BASIC REQUIREMENT
Obedience
Deuteronomy 10:12-13 (New International Version)
12
And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you
but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love
him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all
your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees
that I am giving you today for your own good?
John 14:21-23 (New International Version)
21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who
loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too
will love him and show myself to him."
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you
intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My
Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our
home with him.
THE BASIC PLEDGE
God pledges His faithfulness to His promises
Deuteronomy 4:27-31 (New International Version)
27
The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will
survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you. 28 There you
will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear
or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will
find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30
When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then
in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. 31 For the
LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or
forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by
oath.
Deuteronomy 29:12-13 (New International Version)
12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the LORD
your God, a covenant the LORD is making with you this day and
sealing with an oath, 13 to confirm you this day as his people, that he
may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers,
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
THE BASIC DIFFERENCES
The New Testament shifts emphasis on worship from a
place (Tabernacle) to a Person (Jesus Christ)
Deuteronomy 12:10-14 (New International Version)
10
But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the LORD your God is
giving you as an inheritance, and he will give you rest from all your enemies
around you so that you will live in safety. 11 Then to the place the LORD
your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name—there you are to bring
everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes
and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the
LORD. 12 And there rejoice before the LORD your God, you, your sons and
daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites from your
towns, who have no allotment or inheritance of their own. 13 Be careful not
to sacrifice your burnt offerings anywhere you please. 14 Offer them only at
the place the LORD will choose in one of your tribes, and there observe
everything I command you.
THE BASIC BLESSING
The Word of God was a blessing to Jesus and will be to
us also as we study and apply it.
Matthew 4:4 (New International Version)
4Jesus
answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on
every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Deuteronomy 8:3 (New International Version)
3
He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with
manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that
man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the
mouth of the LORD.
THE BASIC BLESSING
The Word of God was a blessing to Jesus and will be to
us also as we study and apply it.
Matthew 4:7 (New International Version)
7Jesus
answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to
the test.’”
Deuteronomy 6:16 (New International Version)
16
Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah.
Matthew 4:10 (New International Version)
10Jesus
said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the
Lord your God, and serve him only.”
Deuteronomy 10:20 (New International Version)
20
Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your
oaths in his name.
