Ch. 3 - The Creation of the World
We focus upon the language and structure of the first three chapters of the Book of Genesis. This allows us to discover the interpretive clues that the author of Genesis gives, which in turn serve as the key to unlocking the truths the author means to affirm. You will learn how the cosmos is one large temple in which the Garden of Eden serves as the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies. Adam is instructed to keep and guard the sanctuary as its priest, which helps us understand why as an unfallen, upright, just man, he would have so easily transgressed the divine command. These Old Testament realities are then shown to serve as types, which are fulfilled in the New Covenant antitypes of Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and the New Eve.

Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
And let your Holy Spirit bow
All hearts in love and truth today
To hear your word and keep your way.
Give us the grace to grasp your word,
That we may do what we have heard.
Instruct us thru the Scriptures, Lord,
As we draw near, O God adored.
To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, three in one;
To you, O blessed Trinity
Be praise throughout eternity.

Wow! This episode was a complete blessing. Thank you.
is there any way you could do a short overview of this? an hour is way to long to listen to this
I would really appreciate if you could sum it a page or 2. Thanks!
FYI, 05:40 minutes in there was an error the reference is Genesis 21:27 and NOT Hebrews.
Thank you so very much for posting this for us. This is the best Bible Study I have ever heard. It is great and easy to understand. I love it. Cathryn
This Bible study really helped deepen my faith tenfold. Carson, you doing this and uploading it free of charge for all of Christ's followers is an absolute blessing, and I cannot thank you enough. KK, no offense intended, but I think we can all find an hour during our day to listen to this, and shortening it would take out crucial content.
I agree Scot ! ...... Carson you are doing a great job. God Bless ur work. There is no satisfying everyone , but you satisfy many
In such a short time I learned more than I have in my lifetime thank you.
Thank you again, for the bringing out the beautiful imagery of the Bride of Christ - The Church. Also about Mary - The Woman - The Mother of All, through whom the Church is created - The New Eve who was at the foot of the Cros. Wow.... This is so.... Beautiful. The Holy Spirit who guided the early church Fathers, to give us this story. It is amazing, because it is many authors who wrote scripture, but then you see these nuggets, that tell us it was ONE author - God - The Holy Spirit, because it is all linked.
Thank you and May God Bless you, Carson.
