Allusions, Images, Symbols: How to Study Bible Prophecy (Lesson 2) THE GENESIS FOUNDATION
GENESIS: THE FOUNDATIONAL KEY TO UNLOCKING REVELATION
If you’ve ever opened the book of Revelation and felt lost… you’re not alone. All the symbols, beasts, and battles can make you feel overwhelmed.
But what if I told you the key to understanding these symbols is right at the beginning of your Bible, in the book of Genesis.
Welcome back to episode 2 of our 13-part series on understanding the present and future using the Bible as our guide.
The Bible provides the keys needed to understand and maneuver what is about to happen and how to prepare for it.
In this series, “We will explore Bible stories, symbols, and signs to understand what they reveal about today and the future.
Our study starts at the Beginning, the foundational key to unlocking Bible Prophesy, and special message intended for our day.
So, keep watching. What you’re about to learn could change the way you see the whole Bible—and the world around you.
Before we begin, Let’s Pray.

THE GENESIS FOUNDATION
Part 1 Introduction
The most powerful connection in the Bible that connects the beginning of the Bible with the end of the Bible is John 1:29
“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’ ” (John 1:29, NKJV)
Notice that John called Jesus the “Lamb of God”—the one who takes away the sin of the whole world.
That short sentence connects Genesis directly to Revelation. And it tells us that Jesus is at the center of it all.
One of the biggest problems people face when they try to understand Revelation today is this:
They don’t know where it really begins. They fail to recognize the ancient roots of Revelation.
Many try to explain it using just modern ideas or world events, but they miss something very important—Revelation has deep roots in the Old Testament.
The writer of Revelation, John assumes his readers already are acquainted with the ancient writings of the Old Testament.
Therefore, he used Old Testament ideas and language that his audience is familiar with to convey his message.
Although searching through the whole Bible for passages that resemble the text in Revelation is helpful, if we try to read Revelation without having some knowledge of the Old Testament, especially the beginning, Genesis, we will not be able to get the full picture.
Some parts of the Bible are core texts. They set the stage and give us the main ideas that Revelation is built on. One of those core texts is the Book of Genesis.
Genesis shows us how the world fell into sin and chaos. It explains where pain, death, and evil came from.
It tells the story of how a perfect world became broken, and how God promised to fix it.
What’s amazing is that almost every concept presented in the book of Revelation can also be found in Genesis, in some form, or the other, especially in the first few chapters.
In this lesson, we’re going to look at just a few major concepts found at the core of Revelation.
Of course, there are many more, but we’ll do a few—just enough to illustrate the importance of understanding the ancient foundation behind the Book of Revelation:
In other words, If you want to understand Revelation, you must go back to the beginning.
When you study Genesis in companionship with Revelation, you start to see details in the text that you would miss otherwise.
You’ll notice patterns, symbols, promises, and even warnings that connect directly from the past to the future.
And here’s why that matters: these connections don’t just help us understand the Bible—they help us understand ourselves.
They show us more about God’s heart, His love, His plan for saving us, and the great conflict between good and evil that’s not only happening in the world today —but in our personal lives.
So, if Revelation has ever confused or frightened you, don’t walk away.
Go back—to the beginning. Genesis is more than the history of the earth… it’s the foundational key to understanding Revelation.
When we understand how everything started, we begin to see clearly how everything will end—and how we can stand on God’s side even in the middle of it. So, Stay tuned. The best is yet to come.
Take a look at Isaiah 40:7-8, Malachi 3:6, and Hebrews 13:8 to see what point they make about God that help you understand prophecy better?

THE GENESIS FOUNDATION
Part 2: The Principle of “First Mention”
The book of Genesis holds the foundational key to understanding the end time Bible Prophesy.
“In school, academic programs start with a class that teaches the basics.
It’s generally given the number ‘101.’
This beginner’s class covers the broad and basic principles design to form the foundation for further study as you dig deeper into the subject.
It gives you the start you need before you move to the more complicated.
God does something very similar in the Bible. As you read the Bible you will notice God provides a introductory course. This is the book of Genesis.
The book of Genesis is like God’s first class. In it, God introduces trues that will be examined in more detail throughout the rest of the Bible.
“Many times, in Genesis, we see the first time God talks about something important.
That first time gives us the broad view.
Later in the Bible, when that same concept comes up again, we already know what it means—because we saw it first in Genesis.”
🎙️“Some people call this the ‘law of first mention.’
It’s not a strict rule, however, it is more like a helpful pattern rather than a law because the rule is not necessarily set in stone, there are many exceptions to this rule.
God starts small—then He adds more later.
He gives us little pieces of truth over time, and each piece helps us understand the next one better.”
In a general Bible study and in the study of Bible Prophecy what seems to emerge is that God slowly gives his people information over time. He starts with the basics and gives more details over many years or even centuries enlarging His basic concept.
🎙️ Isaiah 40:7, 8; Malachi 3:6; and Hebrews 13:8 are a few examples that show us this truth:
These verses help us to see that God doesn’t change. His Word is always true, it stands forever.”
📖 Isaiah 40:7-8
“The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:7-8)
🗣️ “Things in life come and go. But God’s Word never fades.
It lasts forever.”
📖 Malachi 3:6
“For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.” (Malachi 3:6) Pauseer
🗣️ “God stays the same. He never changes His mind about His truth.”
📖 Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
🗣️ “Jesus doesn’t change with time. His love and truth are the same—yesterday, today, and forever.”
“Today, some people say, ‘There’s no real truth.’
Many people today talk about “truthiness” instead of “truth.” They insist that “truth” can change over time. Some even believe “truth” itself is not real.
They say, ‘What’s true for me might not be true for you.’
But that’s not the case with Bible truth. God’s truth doesn’t change. Not now, not ever.
When God establishes truth, He does not change His mind.
What God teaches us is truth.
We can be sure the repeat of a Bible principle or theme in the Bible does not change but, instead, shed further light on its meaning.
Therefore, it makes sense, that we should study Bible prophecy in companionship with Genesis.
In other word’s Genesis is the prerequisite to the study of Bible prophesy.
Why, because it explains many key ideas that help us understand not just Bible prophesy, but the rest of the Bible.
🎙️ “That’s why Genesis is so important.
It gives us the strong foundation we need to understand books like Revelation.” (Pauoer)
🎙️ “But be very careful, …There are people—even highly intelligent ones—who try to make us question the validity of the Bible.
They might say, ‘It doesn’t mean that anymore.’
Or, ‘Times have changed.’ It does not fit today’s generation.
But, they don’t always say it verbally.
Sometimes they just plant little doubts. And those doubts can grow.”
🎙️ Therefore, “We have to hold on to what God has said.
If we let go of His truth… we start to lose our way.” (Pausere)
🎙️ “Genesis is more than the first book.
It’s the first step to seeing the whole picture.
If you want to understand Revelation…
Start with the beginning.
If you want to understand Bible prophesy in general…Start with the beginning.
If you want to understand the Bible in general…Start with the beginning.
Genesis helps us understand the nature of love, the Character of God and as well as prophesy.
Genesis 22:2 is the first time “love” is used in the Bible. Read Genesis 22:1–13. What do you learn about God’s love from this story? Share your thoughts.
Then, View the next segment of this video, Part 3:Understanding God’s Love
Allusions, Images, Symbols: How to Study Bible Prophecy
(Lesson 2)
THE GENESIS FOUNDATION
Part 3: Understanding God’s Love
Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to truly understand love—the kind of love that never gives up, never turns away, and never fails? Well, You’re not alone.
The very first book of the Bible—Genesis—holds the key that helps unlock the truth about love, God’s character, and even Bible prophecy.
Love, God’s Character, and Bible Prophecy are all connected… and getting an understand of it all starts in Genesis.
Part of living in a world shaped by sin is that our view of everything—including love—has been clouded.
We’ve inherited a sinful nature. That means we naturally lean toward selfishness and pride.
We see life through our limited lens or worldview, not through God’s all-knowing all seeing eyes.
And one of the things that’s been twisted the most is the meaning of love.
In today’s world, love is often shown as something we seek for our own benefit.
Movies, music, even social media tell us love is about how someone makes us feel. (Pauser)
But God’s love? It’s something completely different.
His love is focused on giving—not getting.
This difference is a big deal when it comes to understanding Bible prophecy.
You see, one of the biggest struggles in the Great Controversy—the battle between good and evil—is the misunderstanding about God’s character.
Many people just don’t know who God truly is.
Ellen G. White paints a beautiful picture of what this misunderstanding looks like once it’s cleared up. At the end of the Book The Great Controversy, she writes:
“The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love.”—Page 678
Now let’s go back to where the Bible first mentions love—Genesis 22:1–13.
This is the powerful story where Abraham is asked by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac.
Genesis 22:2 says – “Then He said, ‘Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.’” (Genesis 22:2)
💬 This is the very first time the word “love” is used in the Bible.
And it’s used to describe the deep, emotional bond between a father and his son.
But notice—it’s connection to sacrifice.
This story isn’t just about Abraham. It points to something much bigger.
It’s a reflection—a foreshadowing—of what God would one day do for us.
Now here’s something fascinating: If we look at the first time “love” appears in each of the four Gospels, we see something even deeper.
Matthew 3:17 (NKJV) – “And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’” (Matthew 3:17)
💬 God the Father is speaking about His Son, Jesus, expressing His perfect love for Him. (Pauser)
Mark 1:11 (NKJV) – “Then a voice came from heaven, ‘You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’” (Mark 1:11
💬 Again, love is shown as the bond between the Father and the Son.
Luke 3:22 (NKJV) – “And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, ‘You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.’” (Luke 3:22)
💬 The love of the Father is publicly declared. The Father delights in the Son.
And finally,
John 3:16 (NKJV) – “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 ) Pauser
💬 This is the Gospel in one verse. God didn’t just say He loved us. He showed it—by giving His only Son.
John’s Gospel especially takes us back to Genesis 22.
Just like Abraham was willing to give up Isaac, God actually did give up His Son for us.
In fact, the first mention of “love” in John is John 3:16.
Which takes us back to the story of Isaac on the altar in Genesis 22:2.
Abraham trusted God so much that he believed God could bring his son back to life if he went ahead with the sacrifice.
The book of Hebrews 11:19 says:
“Concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.” (Hebrews 11:19)
💬 Abraham believed that even if Isaac died, God could bring him back. This is deep faith—and a mirror of what God did with Jesus.
Just like God provided a substitute—a ram in the place of Isaac. He provided Jesus as our substitute.
This entire story unlocks something powerful about love: It’s not just about feelings.
True love is about sacrifice. God’s love is not about what He could get from us—but what He was willing to give for us.
So, here’s the big question: How do we show this same kind of self-sacrificing love to others? Why is it so hard for us?
The truth is, we can’t do it on our own. Our hearts are naturally selfish.
But when we spend time with Jesus—when we truly understand what He gave up for us—His love starts to change us from the inside out.
You don’t have to be perfect to start loving like God. You just have to be willing to learn from Him.
Ask God today to teach you how to love like He does—to love without holding back, without needing anything in return.
Because once we understand that kind of love… Revelation starts to make a whole lot more sense.Don’t stop here, let’s take a closer look at Isaac’s question. Read Genesis 22:7, 8; Exodus 12:3–13; and Revelation 5:5–10. Then continue to the next segment of this video, Part 4: Isaac’s Question Where is the Lamb?
Allusions, Images, Symbols: How to Study Bible Prophecy
(Lesson 2)
THE GENESIS FOUNDATION
Part 4: Isaac’s Question: Where Is the Lamb
Have you ever asked a question that seemed simple… but turned out to be deeply significant?
Abraham’s Son Isaac asked a question that we all want to know, and the answer extends from Genesis to Revelation.
In fact, the answer to this one question can help you see Jesus like you have never seen him before.
Genesis 22 is the very first time the Bible mentions (“seh”) the Hebrew word for a lamb.
And it shows up in the same story where we also first hear the word love.
Two of the most beautiful things in the whole Bible—love and the lamb—come together in this one moment.
And that moment points us forward to something much, much bigger.
You see, the lamb becomes one of the most important symbols in the book of Revelation.
Jesus is called “the Lamb” more than 20 times in Revelation.
And in one of the most beautiful scenes of all—Revelation chapters 4 and 5—we see the Lamb standing right in the center of heaven’s throne room.(Ppapupsoere)
But before we go there, let’s go back… to where the question begins.
📖 Genesis 22:7–8:
7 “But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, ‘My father!’ And he said, ‘Here I am, my son.’ Then he said, ‘Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?’
8 And Abraham said, ‘My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.’ So the two of them went together.” (Genesis 22:7–8)
🎙️Isaac’s question was simple: “Where is the lamb?”
But behind that question is something deeper… something eternal.
And that question doesn’t get answered right away.
In fact, it is echoed through the rest of the Bible.
Now, Fast forward to the time of Moses in 📖 Exodus 12:3–13:
God gives specific instructions for the Passover, a night when the Israelites were told to choose a lamb without blemish.
That lamb would be sacrificed, and its blood placed on their doorposts so that death would pass over their homes.
“Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you…”
(Exodus 12:13)
🔑Here again—the lamb is key. The lamb becomes the Israelites protection, their salvation.
From the Passover lamb to King David the shepherd boy, to all the prophecies about the coming Messiah, the Bible keeps pointing… to Jesus, the lamb.
The first mention of the Hebrew word for a (lamb) mention in the Bible comes from Isaac’s question in Genesis 22:7: “Where is the lamb?” (Genesis 22:7).
What is interesting is that the rest of the Bible answers that very question in great detail.
In fact, the other 38 books of the Old Testament is a progressive path answering Isaac’s question with more and more information.
It goes from the Passover ceremonies to King David’s early occupation as a shepherd and onward.
The entire story is covered with countless prophecies answering Isaac’s question.
Then in the New Testament, the question is answered when Jesus appears in flesh and blood, ministers among His people, and finally sacrifices His life on the cross.
🎙️So, the story of Abraham and Isaac wasn’t just a family test—it was a prophecy.
Isaac asked, “Where is the lamb?”
And from that moment on, the rest of the Bible starts answering that question!
The answer becomes crystal clear when John in John 1:29 declares
“ “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)
It’s like John the Baptist is personally answering Isaac’s question: “Where is the lamb?”
There He is! The Lamb of God!
And the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
John is baptizing people who are repenting, dying to their old life, and starting new one.
And right in that moment… Jesus appears and is baptized. And the voice of God from heaven says in
📖 Matthew 3:17:
“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
🎙️God speaks from heaven. The same way He spoke on Mount Moriah to Abraham and Isaac in
📖 Genesis 22:11–14 (NKJV):
11 But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” (Genesis 22:11–14)
🎙️God provided then… and He provides now.
Jesus, the Lamb, came to take our world back from the enemy.
Then we reach Revelation which describes a Lamb in the center of heaven that looks as though it has been slain.
📖 Revelation 5:6 says
6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. (Revelation 5:6)
Who is that, Lamb? That Lamb is Jesus our Redeemer
📖 Revelation 5:9–10:
9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:9–10)
So, when you follow the thread from Genesis to Revelation, it all points to one powerful truth:
👉 Jesus is our Lamb, He is our Substitute.
He took our place.
He paid our price.
He shed His blood, so we could live.
Thus, Genesis helps us understand who is the slain Lamb in John’s vision in Revelation.
If you ever wondered whether God loves, you? Look at the Lamb.
That’s where the answer has been all along.
The answer to Isaac’s question, where is the lamb, Look to Jesus.
Jesus was slain to save us. One of the most difficult things in this world is death.
The Bible talks about death, explaining the reasons behind it, God’s perspective on it, and His plan to address it.
Read Genesis 2:15–17, Genesis 4:8–15, 1 Corinthians 15:15–19, and Revelation 1:18.
Observe the first mention of death in Genesis 2:15-17.

Part 5: Dealing with Death
🔑If you’ve ever lost someone you love, then you already know—death is painful.
It’s not comfortable. It doesn’t feel good.
And you know what? That’s because it was never intended to be a natural part of life.
🔑In this part of our journey, we’re going to see what Genesis tells us about death—where it started, why it hurts so much, and how Revelation shows us the One who holds the key to conquering it forever.
Living in a world that’s been separated from its Creator is already painful enough.
But perhaps the cruelest part of that separation… is death.
The potential for death is always there, lurking quietly behind every happy moment. (Pauoerue)
It comes suddenly, without warning. And it always hurts.
The Bible calls death the “wages of sin”—the penalty that comes from being cut off from the only true Source of life: our Creator.
But here’s the good news: death may be real, but so is the solution—and it’s found only in Jesus, in His death and in His resurrection.
To understand why death plays such a big role in prophecy—and what God plans to do about it—we have to go back to the very beginning.
The first time death is talked about in the Bible—and the first time it actually happens—helps us see just how serious sin is.
And it shed light on why this is a major theme in prophesy.
It also helps us better understand how God plans to fix the problem of sin and death.
📖The first mention of death is found in Genesis 2:15–17:
15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:15–17)
🎙️Here, at the first mention of death. God gives Adam a choice.
Life and love are built on choice.
And the warning is clear: “If you break this connection of life and love “you will die.” (Pausre)
Death wasn’t part of God’s original plan.
But sin opened the door—and death walked right in.
📖 In Genesis 4:8–15 we read the first account of death. It says in Genesis 4:8
8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. (Genesis 4:8)
🎙️This is the first actual death recorded in the Bible.
But look who dies… It’s not Adam or Eve. It’s their son, Abel.
And not just any death—this is murder, by his own brother.
It’s tragic. It’s unjust. And it’s painful beyond words.
Even today, one of the most heartbreaking experiences is the death of a child.
It feels completely unnatural—and that’s because it is.
We often say, “Death is just part of life.” But is that true?
Death is the opposite of life.
It’s the undoing of life.
It was never meant to be part of our story.
But sin made it part of our reality.
Still… even in death, God was already preparing a way out.
📖 1 Corinthians 15:15–19 :
15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise.
16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.
17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!
18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. (I Corinthians 15:15-19)
🎙️Paul is being honest here:
If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, then none of this matters.
No hope. No purpose. No future.
Our faith in God would be fruitless.
But because Jesus did rise… our faith is profitable.
Our hope is secure.
Jesus, victory over death gave him the keys!
📖 Revelation 1:18 says:
“I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” (Revelation 1:18) (Pauser)
This means Jesus has authority over death.
He faced it… and beat it.
Just like Abel was killed by the hands of the unrighteous, Jesus—the most righteous of all—was crucified by sinful men.
His death, like Abel’s, was unjust. But unlike Abel, Jesus chose to die—for you and for me.
His blood now speaks louder than any grave.
And because He holds the keys… death no longer has the final word.
When Abel died, it was a moment of heartbreak for the first family.
And when Jesus died, it was heartbreak for all his believers.
But Jesus didn’t stay in the tomb.
And because of that—He offers us something Abel never could:
Victory over death.
A future beyond the grave.
A life that never ends.
Without Jesus… it would all be futile.
But with Him? You have purpose, hope, and a guaranteed future.
Jesus is alive. And because He lives, we can face tomorrow despite the serpents attacks.

Part 6: The Serpent
🎤 If Revelation seems hard to understand… maybe it’s because you skipped the beginning.
To unlock the meaning of Revelation, you’ve got to go back to where it all started—Genesis. 🔑 Genesis is the foundational key that unlocks the deep truths in Revelation.
The issue of worship is at the center of the book of Revelation.
Who we worship… how we worship… and why we worship matters to God.
🎤 The perpetrator and enabler behind the scenes of false systems of worship is someone dangerous: the dragon according to Revelation 13:2–4
🔑 The dragon is Satan. He hides behind systems of false worship, drawing people away from God.
Now, notice something interesting—this “dragon” is described as a serpent.
Revelation referring to this fallen angel as a serpent is no accident.
It takes us back to the beginning to what happened in the Garden of Eden, where the serpent came into God’s perfect garden and deceive Adam and Eve into disobeying God.
🔑 The serpent tells two lies in Genesis 3:4-5
❌ “You will not die”
❌ “You will be like God”
These lies didn’t stay in Eden—they traveled through time and show up in Revelation.
Revelation 12:7-9 says:
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:7-9)
🔑 Before he ever slithered into Eden, that serpent in the garden, started war in heaven .
🎤 Same enemy. Same lies. Different battlefield.
There are two accounts in the Scriptures in which Satan leads the whole world astray:
❌ In Genesis, at a moment when there were only two people in existence.
❌ In Revelation in which He is identified as the one who “deceives the whole world”
In Revelation 13:2–3 the dragon, Satan give power to the beast (a ruling power) and “ all the world marveled and followed the beast.”
God will always stay the same—and so will the devil.
Satan may pretend to be many things, but he keeps using the same tricks he used in the Garden of Eden.
The book of Revelation helps us see this clearly.
And here’s what makes all the difference…
📖 James 1:5:
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5)
✅ So if you don’t know, Ask God for wisdom.
He wants us to understand.
He gives wisdom without making us feel bad for asking.
❌ Don’t assume culture has the answers. Culture keeps changing. But God’s truth doesn’t change. (Pausr)
🎤 The devil’s lies are still hiding in plain sight:
❌ “You won’t die.”
❌ “You’ll be like God.”
Sound familiar? You’ll hear it in songs, books, movies—even in some teachings.
🛑 🎤 Genesis is not just a beginning—it’s a map.
If you want to survive in the end, study the beginning.
That’s where the battle started.
That’s where the dragon was first unmasked.
And remember… the lies haven’t changed—but neither has God.
