Description
In the Beginning by The book of beginnings, the basis of God's self-revelation / The account of creation / CHAPTER TWO PUBLISHERS & BOOKSELLERS
In the beginning. Genesis means origin or birth. It is the book of beginnings, the basis of God's self-revelation. Here we find the beginning of everything: the creation of the heavens and the earth, the origins of life, of man and his world. Genesis 1 to 11 in particular, contain numerous im portant principles that have left their mark on world history and are still meaningful today. These chapters describe the earliest history of mankind until the building of the tower of Babel. The account of creation, of the fall of man, of the flood and its consequences is important for a clear understanding of the world in which we live. But it will remain meaningful until the end time. Several terms and expressions in Genesis 1 to 11 return in the last chapters of the book of Revelation, which describes the ultimate goal of God's dealings with the
earth.
