Bible Study The Gospel in Gensis

[Fedusenko]

I went to Radio Shack to waste some time the other day and ended up talking to a man that worked there about the Bible. He pointed out an article outlining the names from Adam to Noah and how the meanings of their names is a prophesy of the coming Messiah. Here is the article. It is not long and is interesting.

Yes it is fascinating, isn't it? Are you familiar with the 4 levels of interpretation?

1. Pashad level= plain sense of the text (the who, what, when, where, and how)... the story of what’s being told.

2. Drosh (homiletic level) = Midrash= to glean principle and application and teach someone else how to do better. So when we go into the Torah and do our basic study, we’re Midrashing. Beit midrash = house of study.

3. Esoteric level= hidden and secretive. This is whereTorah is talking about something and never once uses the word.

4. Sod (mysterious) level= This can range from numerology to the Bible codes. (Sir Isaac Newton spent the majority of his life studying Bible codes in the Torah! He has more writings about the study of the Torah than he had about any scientific project he worked on. And he did all the calculations by hand!)

Every story, sentence, word and letter from Gen thru Deut is about the Messiah!

Excellent article, I had read this somewhere else, but to see it again makes it just as poignant. Either the bible was written like a novel and none of it happened, or God is real and it did happen. Thats the only way it could be like this. The bible cannot be written as a series of coincidences..the probability is off the scale..that even down the the names of real living people...salvation was announced!

Here’s one that will tickle your fancy: in Gen 38 we see Judah getting some “payback†for what he had done to his father, Jacob. Now at the end of this story, Tamar gives birth to twins and names them “Perez†and “Zerah.†We know the Messiah comes from the bloodline of Judah and Tamar. Perez means “He who divides†and Zerah means “the brightness of his coming.†This is a prophecy to the End of the Ages and it tells us: “When they are dividing the Land, that’s when they will see Messiah come in the brightness of His coming!â€

And who is the current president of Israel AND the sponsor of the “Land for Peaceâ€proposition to divide the Land for peace? Shimon PEREZ! This name Perez and the Prophet Joel tells us the dividing of the Land is the reason God will become so angry & that there will be a Day of the Lord that will result in the Messiah coming “in the brightness of His coming†on the clouds o Heaven!â€
