Genesis Chapter 1 versus 1-24

The podcast opens with an introduction to the format and purpose of the daily Bible study led by Pastor Bob Thibaudeau. Designed for busy individuals, this 15-minute daily walk through the scriptures offers a unique opportunity to engage with the Bible in a manageable way. The episode emphasizes a verse-by-verse approach, allowing listeners to absorb the text and its meanings without the pressure of lengthy sermons or extensive theological debates.

As the episode progresses, Pastor Bob dives into Genesis 1, exploring the profound implications of the opening verses. He highlights the phrase "In the beginning," discussing the concept of time and the establishment of creation.

The discussion delves into the nature of God as Elohim, emphasizing the plurality of the Godhead and the collaborative act of creation. Pastor Bob clarifies that the term "Elohim" encompasses the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, reinforcing the idea that God's creative power is a dynamic process. This theological foundation sets the tone for understanding the subsequent verses, where the act of creation unfolds in a structured manner, showcasing God's intentional design.

The episode continues to unfold the creation narrative, with Pastor Bob elucidating the significance of light and its separation from darkness. He notes that light symbolizes God's presence and goodness, while darkness represents chaos and disorder.

As he reads through the creation account, he emphasizes the importance of speaking into existence what one desires, drawing parallels between God's creative words and the power of human speech.

This thematic exploration invites listeners to consider the impact of their own words and thoughts on their lives, encouraging them to align their declarations with God's truth.

The episode concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to reflect on their own lives and the potential for transformation through the application of biblical principles, all while maintaining a spirit of prayer and gratitude for the study of God's Word.

Hello everyone everywhere.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau here.

Welcome to your Fish 15 Minute Daily Bible Study.

Praise God.

Just a walk through the Bible.

A daily walk through the Bible.

Glory to God.

That's when we're starting this.

Hallelujah.

Only the Lord knows how long it'll take to get through this Bible.

Amen.

We're going to do this about 15 minutes a day.

Go watch the introduction training, the first episode, episode one or I explain the outline and how we're going to be going through this.

But we're just going to jump right into the day's Bible reading.

Amen.

Let's go to Lord with a word of prayer.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we praise you for your word.

Your word is life.

To all who find it, your word provides wisdom, guidance, answers to all of life's problems.

Father, we thank you and praise you that we get to study your word.

As your children, we need to sit at the Father's knees and allow you to minister to us through your word.

Your word is Jesus himself.

Jesus himself is the word of God alive.

And the Holy Spirit is with us right now to lead, guide and direct these conversations.

To you, sir, we give all honor, glory and praise for all you accomplish through this Bible study.

And it goes throughout the world through the power of the Internet that you brought into place in this time of creation.

As we get ready to wrap it all up to win as many souls as possible, possible into the kingdom of God.

In Jesus name we pray.

Amen and Amen.

Praise God.

Shout Amen.

Somebody somewhere.

We're ready to jump into this now.

If you have your Bibles or you don't have them, go get them.

Praise God.

We're going to go ahead and get started in Genesis chapter one.

That's where we're going to start.

Right in the very beginning.

We're going to Begin, read.

I'm.

Today I'm reading from the King James Version.

Sometimes I'll go to the message or maybe the English Standard Version if, if what we're going to be studying I believe would help you understand better through that.

But today we're going to use the King James Version.

Genesis chapter one.

In the beginning.

Let me stop right there.

Before what?

There was nothing.

Right in the beginning, God established that's the beginning.

That's what we call time.

Before this word, in the beginning there was no time.

It was just eternity.

God was there.

In the beginning is our time.

This is what God is establishing.

Right now is the beginning of creation, the beginning of what we are going to be experiencing.

So that proves that God was right there in the beginning.

Now in the beginning, the very next word is God created the heaven and the earth.

Now let me stop right there.

God in the English translation does not mean God.

I know that confused you right there, didn't it?

Okay, let's back up.

In Hebrew, the word is Elohim.

Elohim is plural, equals godhead, okay, which means a plural.

All three.

Son, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

They're all three together.

That's the Godhead.

That's what that means right there in the beginning.

Elohim, the three of them.

Elohim, all three together.

In the beginning, Elohim created the heaven and the earth.

Now the heaven, that word, heaven and earth again, if you watch that episode one, my Hebrew may not be accurate.

Okay, as far as pronunciation, Greek pronunciations, Aramaic pronunciations, I'm giving you the Brother Bob pronunciation.

Okay?

But in Hebrew that word earth is parachute bear shit.

It means the cosmos.

In other words, space.

Not the planets, not the stars, space itself.

Okay, in the beginning, God created space itself.

He as well created the earth.

That comes in a little while.

The earth was without form, without form.

The Hebrew word there is to how this means waste, desolate, confusion, chaos, no order, just disorder.

Now if you stop and think about it, that makes complete sense when you're trying to, you know, how does the dinosaurs and how does the creation theory and not the creation, but the evolution theory, you know, and all the, you know, everything was just blah.

It wasn't no form fashion thing.

And all that has come together now.

Well, there's the answer right there.

Because in the beginning the earth was just in chaos, desolate, nothing, air, just disorder, void, darkness was on the face of the deep.

And the spirit of God's moving on the waters.

Elohim, the spirit of Elohim is moving over everything.

Now.

And Elohim said, let there be light.

What?

He actually said, the actual translation.

Light be.

And he cast light forth.

God is light.

Boom.

Light be.

And there was light.

And Heloim saw the light, that it was good.

It had to be good, because God's good, God's perfect.

And God divided the light from the darkness.

And helloim called the light day and the darkness.

Now, that's not the sun that doesn't come yet.

God is like.

God has now invoked his presence into this void.

We're going to call it that.

God is now present and light is there.

The light of God is there.

The evening in the morning were the first day again, that's not the sun and the moon and all that.

That hasn't come yet.

Okay, Verse six.

Elohim said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters.

Let it divide the waters from the waters.

And Elohim made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which are above the firmament from.

And it was so this was the atmosphere now separating it from space.

All right?

And Elohim called the firmament heaven.

And the evening, the morning were the second day.

Verse 9, where we at on our time here.

Okay?

And verse nine.

Elohim said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together in one place and let dry land appear.

And it was so.

And Elohim called the dry land earth.

And gathering together of the waters he called seas.

And Elohim, the three of them, saw that it was good.

And Elohim said, let the earth bring forth grass and herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth.

And it was so.

And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after his kind, the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in itself after his kind.

And Elohim saw that it was good.

The evening and the morning were the third day.

And God said in verse 14, Genesis 1, verse 14, Let there be lights.

And the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night.

Let them be for signs and for seasons, for days and for years.

Here's the sun.

Let them be for lights in a firmament, in the.

For the heaven of the heaven to give light upon the earth.

And it was so.

And Elohim made two great lights, the great light to rule the day, the lesser light to rule the night.

And he made the stars also.

Now we have what we know as filling the space void.

Okay?

It'll rule over the day and over the Night to divide the light from the darkness.

And God saw it was good.

The evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And God, Elohim said, let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that has life foul, that may fly above the earth and the open firmament of the heaven.

Now that word life, a spirit of life that has its own soul.

Now, a soul.

Now, in case you didn't know, you are a three part being, just like Elohim.

You have a soul, you have a spirit.

You are a living spirit, you have a soul.

Your soul is made up of your mind, your will and your emotions, right?

So you are a spirit, you have a soul, you live in a body.

Here he's doing the same thing with the animals.

They are now living souls.

They have their own mind, will and emotions.

They are not living spirits.

They are souls living in a body.

A soul has their own mind, will and emotion.

Verse 21.

And Elohim created great whales and living creatures that move which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind.

And Elohim saw that it was all good.

Praise God.

All creatures here have the ability from God to think, experience pain, to react.

You know, whether it's fish, plants or anything, they all react to stimuli.

You've seen studies where, you know, they.

They play loud rock music over one set of plants and soothing orchestral music over others.

And the rock plants don't flourish as much as the other ones do.

They all react to stimuli.

Everything reacts to stimuli.

That's what we're saying right here.

Go to verse 22.

Elohim blessed them.

Here's the blessing, the blessing of God's upon this.

Now bless them, saying, be fruitful and multiply.

Fill the waters and the seas.

Let foul multiply in the earth.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

And Elohim said verse 24, which Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind.

Now, cattle, creeping things, beasts of the earth after his kind.

And it was so.

Notice God's speaking here.

Everything he's doing, he's speaking it.

And it was so speaking it.

It was so speaking it.

It was so.

You are a spirit.

You have a soul, mind, will and emotion.

You live in a body.

You are a three part being created in the image of God, which we'll get into.

And this is why it's so important what you speak matters.

You're created in the image of God, Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

You're creating his image.

You have that power.

You have that Authority speak.

Jesus said, whatsoever you shall say and believe in your heart, it should come to pass.

It will be even as you say.

This is where we're getting the demonstration of it right here in the very first chapter of the Bible.

God speaking what he wants to happen.

And it was.

So that's what I wanted to show you with.

And we're getting ready to wrap this up for today, the evening and the morning of the fifth day.

So we're gonna stop right there.

All right, folks, it is so important that you stick with us during this Bible study, this 15 minute daily walk through the Bible.

And what I want you to understand from today's lesson, there was nothing and God created it by speaking it.

So let's take 20, 25 and speak what you want to come to pass in this year.

Stick with us.

We go through this.

Let's go, Lord, with prayer.

Father, in Jesus name, we thank you and praise you for this Bible study.
