A verse by Verse exposition of the Book of GenesisGenesis comprises the seed plot from whence the rest of the Bible sprang forth.

The most complex subjects are found here in their embryo state. The atonement is shadowed forth in the early chapters; Armageddon is typed in the invasion of Chedorlamoer, future developements of history and of God's dealings with men and nations are set forth in the form of allegory, the basic teachings of the Gospel is laid down therein.

In fact, it is safe to say, that it is impossible to properly understand the purpose of God, without some comprehension of the book of Genesis.

However, it must be recognised that God has not revealed His purpose in straight forward language only, but has used type, symbol, metaphor, allegory, parable, prophecy, and so on. Frequently the narrative of Scripture has a typical meaning as well as its literal significance; and this is pre-eminently the case with Genesis. It will be our taks to reveal this, as we proceed through the book.
