04 05 2025 The Genesis Foundation · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

  Speaker 2: study series. This is lesson number two how to study
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Bible Prophecy, and our caption for today is the Genesis Foundation,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the Genisis Foundation. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Please join our online community and make sure you have
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the Companion Guide or the Life Application Guide This is
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a way that we apply the truths that we study,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: even in how to study Bible prophecy in four key
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: areas using the win or win principle. So please go
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: there because sometimes we have a difficult time applying what
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we study. Applying what we learn very intelligent discussion, sometimes
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: even in ancient languages, you understand, but applying it to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: our lives, like have faith is not applying like have
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: faith is not application. That's a concept. Well, how do
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we have faith?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: In?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: What ways do we have faith? What does it look
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: like in our lives? Et cetera. Okay, well, please do
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that at the appropriate time at your daily portion dot com.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Bather in Heaven, thank you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: for this Sabbath morning and for giving us the privilege
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of being called by your name, and thank you for
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: taking us back to the beginning. Help us to remember
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: our first love, Help us to remember how you gave
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: us your power to overcome evil. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. The lesson writer takes us right
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: back to the Bible Book of John, chapter one and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: verse twenty nine. I'll read it and then ask you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a very important question. And the Bible reads the next day,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: John saw Jesus coming toward him. We're talking about John
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the Baptist, and he said, behold the Lamb of God,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: which taketh away the sins of the world. I won't
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: give you a whole long story about that, but this
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: was in fulfillment of a Bible prophecy in the Book
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of Daniel that is nestled in the seventy weeks of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Years prophecy. And Messiah the Prince, the anointed One is
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: now appearing on the scene publicly. He's about he is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: thirty years of age. I corrected myself, he's thirty years
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of age. That's very important, exactly thirty years of age.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And John is saying, this is the one that God,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: our father taught me about, that would appear in this
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: certain way. I would be the forerunner of I would
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: baptize him. And the rest, as they say, is history.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: But the big question with which we need to contend
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: is why why do we need the lamb of God?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Because John made a great big deal of it. He's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: in the middle of doing what he was called to do.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: He's the baptizer. It might have been. It may have
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it may very well have been his surname, like John,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: his surname baptizer. You understand the baptist. This is how
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: critical it was, Like he's the one whose voice is crying.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: He's crying in the wilderness. Make straight the paths to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: welcome in the Messiah who was to come, And now
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he's here. Why do we need in twenty twenty five
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the lamb of God. And of course we go back
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to the Bible Book of Genesis, and I'm going to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: make a lot of really interesting parallels in a moment.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But in the Bible Book of Genesis, we see where
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Adam really sold us down the river. And somebody might say,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: all but Eve eight of the fruit, she was talking
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to the serpent, who really was the devil? I get it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But Adam was created first. And the Bible says as
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: by one man, sin entered into the world and death
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: by sin, and the Bible continues about salvation through Christ.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But Adam is the one responsible. He is the representative
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: of the human race. He was the leader. Gentlemen, are
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you listening, are you married? You are the leader in
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the sense of responsibility. God is looking at you in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a unique and special way, just like he was looking
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: at Adam. And when God came to the pair the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Holy couple, he came and said, Adam, where are you?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And we need to hear for that from that voice today, Adam,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: where are you? Are you hiding in the bushes today? Adam?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Or are you standing? Are you standing ten toes down,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: responsible and holy at the head of your families? I
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time, but that's not the context
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of our study today. And so the lesson writers said
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: at the end of the first paragraph. Nearly every key
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: concept mentioned in Revelation appears in some form in the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: opening chapters of the Bible. And I'll just call that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the Book of Genesis. And so I'm going to go
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: through a list of them. I have thirty written down.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I have thirty written down, but I'll just share a few.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: In Genesis, chapter two and verse nine, the Bible reads
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the tree of life also is in the midst of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the gardens. So we're talking about the tree of life
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter two and verse seven to him that overcometh
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: will I give to eat of the tree of life,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And so God is not only going to restore us,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but he is going to put us into a position
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: because we will have made our final decision by the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: time we are righteous, righteous and stay righteous. The Bible
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: talks about that in the Book of Revelation. So that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: now when we reach forth our hand and take from
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the tree of life, we'll be able to do that
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: from I mean fourn in the future. Okay. And then,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: of course there is this serpent, or we could see
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: him as the dragon in the New Testament, okay. In
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Genesis chapter three and verse one, the Bible says, now
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the serpent, that's the devil, was more subtle than any
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: beast of the field which the Lord God had made.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: In Revelation chapter twelve and verse nine, that same beast,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: that same evil serpent, which is really the devil and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the great dragon, was cast out, that old serpent called
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the devil, when he was kicked out of heaven number
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: three Creation and then New Creation Genesis one and verse one.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: In Revelation chapter twenty one and verse one, the Bible says,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and I saw a new heaven and a new earth.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Of course, there is marriage. There's marriage. Don't don't go
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: too far, don't go too fast. I know exactly what
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Jesus said in Matthew chapter twenty two, but the concept
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the print. The Bible reads in Genesis chapter two, in
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: verse twenty four, therefore man shall leave his father and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: mother and shall cleave to his wife. Now, Paul said,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I show you a mystery. Don't be confused about what
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: we're talking about. I'm speaking to you about Christ and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the Church. And so marriage is representative of our relationship
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: with God through Christ right and so in that Vein
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and Revelation chapter nineteen and verse seven, the Bible reads,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: let us be glad and rejoice, for the marriage of
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the Lamb is come. And ultimately, when we look at
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: it all the way through to chapter twenty two, that
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: is God's people, ultimately after the judgment is complete, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: God's judgment and character are vindicated, and God's people are
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: sealed and fully holy after the judgment, and the Bible
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: is identifying God's people in the end in the Holy City,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and together they are the bride, the Lamb's wife. I know,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I said a lot because nineteen all the way through
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the twenty two covers two very important principles. But I continue,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and then there is dominion that is lost and pardon
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: me restored. And God said in Genesis one, verse twenty six,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: let them have dominion. And in Revelation chapter five and
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: verse ten, the Bible reads and has made us unto
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: our God, kings and priests, and we shall reign on
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the earth. So much more I said I had thirty.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine God is returning our minds to the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: beginning so we can appreciate the end. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
