STOP! at Genesis 1

[Bartholomew Jones]

Gen 1 through 2:3 is the first logical break of Scripture. Notice God as creator is always referred to simply as "God." This feature is not common in Scripture.

Next (Gen 2:4) is a brief poetic block of another significance. Notice "heavens and earth," then "earth and heavens." And from this block forward he's referred to as "LORD God."

Some folks here may not realize the difference being of enormous significance in Scripture between "Lord" and LORD in all caps, the latter being more common. When most translations render the text as the name LORD in all caps it signifies the name YHWH (Yahweh: or in anglo-saxon, Jehovah). The first time human beings began calling on that name is noted at the very end of Ch 4 (that's the historical record although Scripture itself refers to him by that name as early as the second chapter).

Going back to chapter one, first it's upsetting that few people ever hallow when the Scripture says, "behold." Whenever I get a chance to preach, I always call out, "when the Scripture says, 'behold,' you behold!"

So God begins to bless them in vv. 27-28, then in v. 29 he says, "Behold, I have given you every plant bearing seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food." Stop there...

He tells you to have dominion over his creatures and over the earth. Then he tells you how. If you fail to use the singular thing he gave you, the seed, and you say you can see, sorry friend. You have a rude awakening.

Who is he giving the seed to?

James 3:6 KJV
[6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Same subject. I haven't gotten to listen to much because I don't have a strong media signal. I want to listen when I have a good signal. It's too segmented until I get new data or some wi-fi.

Yet even to very end, lest the rocks cry out, those words God gives for a man to eat, even Elijah in the last day, and even Elisha, in that next generation, I say, those very words from their tongue will inflame and burn up the chaff.

That's in fulfillment by the two olive trees spoken of in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Well, Jesus Himself said the field is the world, does this not answer the question posed?

Everyone can plant a seed.

First he must be given the seed to plant.

Psa 127:1 [[A Song of degrees for Solomon.]] Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Could the same be said:
Except the Lord sow the seed, they labour in vain that sow it?

1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1Co 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Lev 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Whole lotta planting going on..

If you've had an apple core you've had seeds you can plant, or seeded grapes, or if you've had cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. That's the promise. One seed makes thousands more.

Thank goodness God supplied the apple tree and all the green things to eat
Amen

Yes. The change from God (Elohim) to LORD God (Yahweh Elohim) is indeed significant. As soon as God began to have a personal relationship with mankind, He introduced His personal name also, and Yahweh (YHWH) is also Jesus.

It was the pre-incarnate Christ who had fellowship with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden until they disobeyed God. That broke their fellowship. Which means sin the believer's life breaks fellowship with God also.

Yeah. Tell me about it. I break fellowship at least twice a day. It's awful.

I forget how that story went.
