moses is famous! almost everyone has heard of him-
the prophet who brought israel a covenant- a covenant by blood as described in exodus 24 following the covenant of abraham in genesis 15.18 which is described in detail in acts 7.3-9 quoted below but first-
1 the NEED FOR A SUMMARY
1 the NEED FOR A SUMMARY
the problem is that the "five books of moses" are so vast that almost no-one reads ALL of them!
a solution is a summary! called moses 5-4-3 and described here.
2 the p r o b l e m s of summaries
2 the p r o b l e m s of summaries
i do not mean saying "the key verse of genesis is that in marriage "2 become one" genesis 2.24, so now we move to exodus" nor saying "the key verse in Deuteronomy is "love god" and now we have concluded the seven minute summary of deuteronomy" because that is not a summary of the book!
on the other hand mentioning every detail is not a summary- either!
so I will present a summary of this enormous mass of stories as a summary so that people can know- in a limited time what is in those books.
3 my goal is to present the FIVE books of moses in FOUR sessions which total THREE hours.
THREE HOURS IS MUCH- SO IT WILL BE IN FOUR SESSIONS- 45 minutes each=3.
to comprehend just how vast- are- these five books grouped into the "penta-tuech= penta means 5 like the shape penta-gon" i want you to consider that a minute is divided into sixty seconds and that in ten hours [600 minutes] there are 60*600=36,000 seconds- that is a lot of seconds! YET that is not even HALF of the number of words in the pentatuech written on the Jew-scroll.
it seems hopeless to summarize something so vast in only 3 hours however-
relying on the numerous repetitions and on a summary of the contents-
not only is it possible, but also it will allow the reader to read an outline of the big P and know what is in it instead of reading every word and every detail- which most people would abandon=give-up long before reaching the 2015th word!

***session one
because the 5 books of moses=the penta-tuech have approximately 92,000 words, the goal will be to summarize around 20,000 words in each session. Genesis has around 9*42*60=22,500 words by my estimate. it has been divided into fifty 50 chapters - some chapters are VERY very long. the number of seconds in six HOURS [6*60*60] is ONLY 21,600!
most of genesis tells the stories of Abraham, Jacob and Joseph [stories of abraham fill fourteen chapters, the stories of jacob fill ten more and the stories of joseph fill fourteen 14 more] and those will be MOST of this summary.
OUTLINE: pre-covenant, abraham, jacob, josef.
OUTLINE: pre-covenant, abraham, jacob, josef.
part one of this 45-minute-session will summarize until the covenant of abraham described in acts chapter 7.4-8 giving the "land you live in here to abraham and his descendants isac jacob" [later please read acts 7.4-8:
First as PRIORITY what is the most IMPORTANT practical message of genesis?
a message so controversial that many would rather be atheists than to accept- despite prophetic evidence.
the message is: "A MAN marries a woman and they become one". if that interferes with several political opinions, keep in mind that it is the wisdom of God the provider of prophecy.
gods wisdom teaches: man marries a woman and be one. being one means loyalty and when disagreeing, not arguing or worse- god's wisdom is "they are one" not arguing but rather that the woman submit to her husband in order to unite as one.
when disagree, the woman's role is to submit to her husband and they should not argue nor live separate [except for bodily safety from hit or bite etc. [do you remember the video named "teachers"?] the kids need protection from the violent one by removing the hitter from the family]
nor divorce, but rather together because they ARE ONE.
we have seen that as Feminism grew bolder MORE AND MORE families are RIPPED and torn in PAINFUL DISASTERS.

we have seen that as Feminism grew bolder MORE AND MORE families are RIPPED and torn in PAINFUL DISASTERS.
all this is avoidable if families would perform god's wisdom in the holy books: being one. practicaly: the role of the man is submit to Jesus=God@john 10.30, not to his wife, and the woman's role is submit to her husband instead of arguing etc. because that is the wisdom of god [not because of value].
admittedly many women in our society would rather deny god and the prophecy of god, than to submit to their husband or prefer being a lesbian- however we should consider the wisdom of god.
some men may protest about same-gender marriage and even claim "imagine if a man would be expected to submit to a woman! chuckle-chuckle." however we should consider the wisdom of god. some people claim "submit to god by obey your wife" however that is not the wisdom of god. no surprise that someone who points this out - in our society has been single many years. [just joking]
now brief summary of the PRE-COVENANT ERA until the covenant of abraham called a covenant in genesis 15.18.
the creator- who knows precisely what He did, better than any scientist GUESSING about the past- tells the prophets [isaiah, others and genesis] that He made everything and rested on the seventh day. [did a scientist see? they all GUESS about the distant past, therefore only modern science has value]
part of creation is the plan of god: a man marries a woman-
and the two become one as explained-
literary note: "two become one" note jesus [matthew 19] is quoting from the greek translation called "septuagint"=LXX which has the word "two" in contrast to the hebrew bible which lacks the word two but has a plural verb becoming one. also note the usage of the hebrew word "ehad" which is used for a unity-of-plural, the same as in the declaration "hear israel your god is one=ehad" with this same word "ehad" used for plural becoming one.
adam sinned and eve was tricked [chapter 3="3"]. they lost the spiritual body that they had [called "our form" in genesis later see 1 cor.15.45].
cain killed his brother- 4, cain did this evil act [1 john 3.12] that we must recognize as harmful and evil and adam had children and grandchildren 5, to be continued!
note: it took me six=6 minutes to read from the title 'session one' until this point summarizing chapters 1-5. forty minutes to go!
