Expository Study: Genesis

Joseph's brethren come to town... for bread. They have no idea who they are dealing with and he does. It's a very dramatic scene as Joseph's dream in Genesis 37 is fulfilled while this whole scene typifies Jesus as seen in John 1 and elsewhere. bbfohio.com bbfohioradio.com

Joseph gives God's interpretation of Pharaoh's dream and we continue to see him as a type of Jesus Christ. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Joseph is in the CLINK and waiting for the Chief Butler to help spring him... but the waiting continues. But God gives Pharaoh two dreams and Joseph will be called upon... Well, you'll have to watch to learn more. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

We cover Genesis 37 and uncover a good number of 'types and shadows' in the story of Joseph and the life of Jesus Christ. Along the way, we discuss several instances where the corrupt new bible versions (perversions) change the words of God... even changing the 'coat of many colours' and you just HAVE to see this nonsense to believe it! http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

In the years between Joseph's betrayal into slavery and the time when drought and famine will lead the sons of Jacob into Egypt in search of food, we are told about this sordid event in the life of Judah. And whenever we come to the end, we will see why this chapter was provided. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob returns to Beth-El, buries Rachel upon her death near Bethlehem and then to Hebron where he and Esau bury their father, Isaac. We see why Reuben, following Simeon and Levi's terrible disqualifications, forfeits the claim to produce the Messianic seed to Judah, the fourth-born. This chapter contains other fascinating truths and events, including a type/shadow of our righteousness by sacrifice, the Ascension of Jesus Christ, Jacob now going by the name of Israel, Isaac's death at 180 years(!) and many other points in between... http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

In this chapter, we cover the genealogy of Esau as the nation of Edom is founded as an assimilation with the descendants of Seir in the Negev and Sinai Peninsula regions, along with a daughter of Ishmael and her offspring with Esau. This gives us the background that will help us as we move forward with the history of Israel, as the Edomites (and Amalekites) play an important role throughout Old Testament history, the birth of Jesus Christ and even right up to the end of Daniel's 70th Week and Revelation 12. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The ugly story of Dinah's rape and the genocidal vengeance of Simeon and Levi. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob "steals away" from Laban who runs him down for a confrontation. Jacob deals with someone who is a "supplanter" like himself! We'll see what it's like dealing with people who create their own little reality that is not real... and how people use passages from Scripture in well-intentioned ways, but rip it completely out of context. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob leaves Laban and heads on to meet Esau. We see faith and fear. And we see a very wonderful, tender God dealing with Jacob in a way that should assure all of God's children that He will handle us with the same patience, understanding and care. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

We begin with a review and expanded explanation of Genesis 30:37-43 in response to questions sent in after the previous study. We then begin our study of chapter 31 as Jacob prepares to hit the road and go back home to the land of Israel, but he has to deal with crooked Laban which is where we will pick up on the next study. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The birth of Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, (Dinah and) Joseph. A soap opera filled with envy, strife, rivalry, conniving, dealing, blaming... but God works His will in SPITE of it all. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

In spite of a visit from God in human form (Theophane, or also called Christophane), Jacob still handles things his own way. We'll see Esau as a type of "the flesh", an example of corruption in new bible versions and complete chapter 33, laying the groundwork for the story of Joseph but only AFTER an ugly incident to come in chapter 34, a funeral in chapter 35 and a summary of Esau's descendants in chapter 36. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob goes to Turkey to get a wife! And he gets MORE than he bargained for! But God is in control. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob is sent off to Turkey to marry a cousin. Esau inter-marries with pagans to anger his parents. In the meantime, God transfers and then reiterates the Abrahamic Palestinian LAND Covenant with Jacob, thus silencing all the Antisemitic, Jew-hating anti-Zionists with their Replacement Theology. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Isaac sends Esau out for venison so he can eat that which he 'loves' but Rebekah hatches a plot to steal the blessing of Isaac for Jacob. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Esau arrives just in time to find out he's lost the blessing of Isaac. Rebekah concocts a plan to save Jacob's life that is threatened as a result of her concocting the plan to steal the blessing that God had already promised would be given to Jacob. That and much, much more. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Abimelech makes a covenant with Isaac. We discuss this constant, historical reality of the Dictatorial Socialist (Abimelech) and the Capitalist Jew (Isaac) and the implications for our day and the future Biblical prophecies. We also discuss Esau's wicked marriages and how they relate to the future of Edom versus Israel, end times Bible prophecy and the discussion over "mixed marriages". http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Abraham marries Keturah and has six sons, dies and is buried by Isaac and Ishmael. We are introduced to Medan, Midia, as well as Sheba and Dedan (the second set of brothers by this name). http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

We finish the account and type of Abraham (the father) sending the servant (the Spirit) to call out a Bride (the Church) for his only son (the Son of God). http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The narrative gives us the account of how Isaac met his wife. In typology (a shadow of the truth) we see: Abraham (the Father) sends his servant (the Spirit) to find a Bride (the Church) for his son (the Son of God). Her name is Rebekah. We mentioned her in Genesis 22:23 and are now introduced to her. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Isaac has twins with Rebekah named Esau and Jacob. We discuss the following and MORE: Syria, Prayer, Calvinism, Esau and Edom, Edomites and Petra, Jacob and Israel, the condition Esau was in when he was 'faint', selling your birthright for a mess of pottage... http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

After being visited by the LORD and given a confirmation of the Abrahamic Covenant being transferred and continued with him and his descendants, Isaac has his own "Abimelech moment", following his father's error, dealing with the godless and lawless Philistines. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The death of Sarah. The tenderness of the moment and burial. The historic reality of the events of the Bible. Hebron and names of Bible places and people. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The Angel of the Lord repeats the Abrahamic Covenant. And we are introduced to Rebekah, to return to the narrative, later. We recommend, "As America Has Done To Israel," by John McTernan. We address the so-called "lost books", pseudepigrapha, apocrypha, etc., and why the are actually rejected books. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com
