Cover to Cover Day 1 - 5 January 2009

(Because only started on today 5th of January have 5 days to catch up on.... will try and blog as regular as I can the revelations from this cover to cover study. (at the same time I am still continuing my bible reading and am now at Psalm 51...(was supposed to be finish in August already :) )

* Before the creation of the world, Christ (The Word) was with God and was God in the beginning...
In the beginning
* Was the word
* and the word was with God
* And the word was God
He was with God in the beginning
John 1:1-2 (Pre existant Christ)

* Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God - Psalm 90 :2 (Creation declaration)
From Every lasting to Everlasting You are God - Awesome! This is who he was even before the creation of the world.

* In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

* Before the creation of the world - Christ was with God and was God and before the world was created, God was God from everlasting to everlasting. It didnt start when the earth started in fact, this everlasting God brought forth the earth....

* note to self!
(Prepare the way of the Risen Lord!)

* Satan was created (Ez 28 v 13b)

* Earth was formelss and empty(Gen1:2) but God didnt create it to be empty but to be inhabited (Isaiah 45:18) -> I am the Lord and there is no other!!! (wow) (reading the scripture in context) God was God and had his plans for earth! before it was created.but he was God. Holy and Sovereign. The only Livign God.

* Six days of creation (Before God - Father, Jesus, the Word, and the Holy Spirit), in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth at some point cast Satan out of heaven ) and then On day 1: God said let there be light and called the light day and the darkness night. day 2:seperated the water and the expanse was called sky (seperating water below,stream that covered the whole earth, from water above), day 3 caused the water below to be gathered to one place. the water called sea and the dryground, land, Also let the land produce vegetation, seedbearing plants,etc... day : Sun in day, moon and stars at night, this also help with seasons,etc...and to govern day and night give light to earth and to seperate light from darkness. day 5 all fish or living creatures in sea, and birds in the air... Day 6 creatures on the earth (livestock wild,etc...( and man...) Day 7 Rest...

*Make man in our image, our likenss, image of God he created him...Gen 1:27

* God saw all that he had made and it was Very GOOD

* Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array... (makes me think of Louis Giglio's materials)

* John 1:3 Through him all things were made! (JESUS!!!!!) (More proof that Jesus is GOD)

***FOR THOUGHT AND COMTEMPLATION SECTION...
Question was: If, as the Scripture teaches, man is the only being in creation who bears the "image" of God, then ask yourself today: How much of God's image is reflected in me

* Was thinking earlier when read the scripture, how one forgets that one is made in God's image and the realisation that one is, just changes the way I see myself, my self image, GOD IMAGE. I am precious and made in the likeness of God, the LORD.

* Also if we were made to rule and subdue the earth, means work is part of our mission, (or the modern version of this scripture today) therefore God has blessed me to Work!

* Also found hte part of Gen 2 about man and woman beautiful (Gen 2:18 & 24) Not good for man to be alone.24 For this reason a man will...

*** For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together - Col 1:16 - 17.
