Welcome to the Beyond the Basics Bible Study Podcast. My name is Dan Snyder and I am your host. Thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Beyond the Basics where we are exploring the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, one chapter at a time. If you've been with me for the last few episodes, we have gone through the creation of the earth, the creation of Adam and Eve, the fall of man, and then of course the story of Cain and Abel. And so now we get into Genesis 5, which is a nice long list of names, which is everybody's favorite, I'm sure. Everybody loves reading through a list of names. Needless to say, this is not going to be our most content heavy episode. However, there is still a lot we can learn from this chapter. And so we're going to dive deep into it and see what we can find out and see what the Lord has to show us in this chapter. So to give a quick overview of Genesis chapter 5, first of all, the author reiterates the creation of man by God, that he is created in God's likeness. However, it's interesting to note the difference of the language in this chapter compared to chapter one. Here, it says when God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. In chapter one, it says God created man in his own image. So in chapter one, God created man in his own image. Here in chapter five he made him in the likeness of God. I'm not entirely certain the implications of that, and I don't know if there's a difference in the original Hebrew language there, but I do think it's interesting that the serpent promised Eve that she would be like God when she ate. And now, instead of stating the man was created in God's image, man is now created in the likeness of God. So I think the similar vocabulary, the similar language there is interesting and something worth noting. Then after this introduction in the chapter there are 10 generations listed from Adam to Noah and they all follow a similar pattern. Each man lived a certain number of years. Seth lived 105 years. Enosh lived 90 years. Kenan lived 70 years. After they lived a certain number of years, each one fathered a son. Then that man lived a certain number of years longer. Again, Seth lived 807 years after fathering Enosh. Enosh lived 815 years after fathering Kenan, etc. etc. And it notes that during these years these guys all fathered other sons and daughters. So then it gives the total number of years lived and it says, and he died. And then the chapter ends with Noah fathering three sons named Shem, Ham, and Japheth. So this is a new section of the book of Genesis and the chapter lists 10 generations, 10 fathers from Adam to Noah and from what I've gathered, these are possible meanings of each one of these guys' names. So, Adam means man, Seth means appointed. We know that. We've already been through those and pointed out those names already in previous chapters. But moving on, Enosh means mortal man, Mahal-al-al means praise of God or blessed God. Jared means descend. Enoch means dedicate or train up. Methuselah means man of a dart or his death shall bring. Lamech, the meaning is uncertain, possibly despairing or lament. We also discussed in the previous chapter it could be conqueror. And then Noah means rest. And so when you put all those names together and form a sentence, one translation could be that the ten patriarchs are saying, man is appointed mortal sorrow, but the blessed God will descend and teach that his death will bring the despairing rest. So the gospel that man is appointed to die. But God will come to earth and die to bring rest to those who live in sorrow. That gospel message is right here in chapter 5. Again, potentially. Those are potential meanings and as I've mentioned before, I am no expert on Hebrew, so I don't know how accurate these translations are. I ...

  • Genesis 4: Cain And Abel

    Genesis 4: Cain And Abel
    2024/12/23
    Cain's parents thought he would be the chosen seed to crush the head of the serpent. Instead, Cain became the seed of the serpent by murdering his own brother and being arrogant towards God. Meanwhile, another brother is born who would be chosen by God. Transcription: Welcome to the Beyond the Basics Bible Study Podcast. My name is Dan Snyder. I am your host. Thank you for joining me on this episode of Beyond the Basics where we are going through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, one chapter at a time. This episode we will be in Genesis chapter 4, the story of Cain and Abel. The famous story where Cain murders his brother. So let's get to it. So the chapter starts off Adam and Eve, they are now outside the garden. They have a child named Cain and then another child named Abel. Abel was a shepherd. Cain is a farmer and the chapter tells us that both brothers decided one day to bring their offerings to God from their work. And the author tells us that God accepted Abel's offering but rejected Cain's offering. Now Abel had brought the firstborn of his flock. Cain brought the fruit of the ground is what the text tells us. So there's a difference there between what Cain brought and what Abel brought. And God accepted Abel's offering of the firstborn of his flock of sheep, but rejected Cain's offering of the fruit of the ground. So Cain became angry. God warned him of the dangers of anger, but Cain ignored the Lord's warning and killed his brother Abel. So God cursed Cain. God tells Cain that the ground will not yield its strength because it received Abel's blood from Cain's strength. In verse 11 it says, "Now you are cursed from the ground which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength." So by Cain's strength, Abel was dead and his blood was received by the ground, and so now the ground will no longer yield its strength to Cain. That was the first part of the curse. The second part of the curse is that he will be a fugitive and a wanderer. So he's going to wander the earth. He's in exile. And we see that because he goes further east. East, if you remember from previous episodes, east is symbolic, it is indicative of exile. And so Cain is in exile. But God places a protective mark on Cain, and then Cain went east to the land of Nod, where he had a son. He named his son Enoch. He built a city and named it after Enoch. And then we get a short genealogy of Cain down to Lamech, who is a descendant of Cain and happens to be the seventh generation from Adam. As we read about Lamech, we see that he is a murderer. He is a polygamist. He's tyrannical. He is arrogant. He believes he's greater than God, as we'll see as we get deeper into the chapter. Then at the very end of the chapter, we find out that Adam and Eve have another son named Seth. Seth has a son named Enosh. So Cain is born in verse 1. The name Cain means I've got him. That's what it literally means. She says, "I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord." And that's why she named him Cain. The implication is that Eve may have thought that Cain was the seed promised by God. He's the firstborn son. God had promised Eve in the previous chapter that there would be a seed through her that would crush the head of the serpent. And so Eve named Cain, I have got him, or I've gotten a man, thinking that I've got the seed, the seed has come. Instead, Cain turned out to be the seed of the serpent. Then we also have Abel, and Abel means vapor. And the picture is that the vapor, it is gone quickly. It is there and then it's gone. The vapor does not stick around, the vapor does not last along. It goes away quickly, very similar to Abel's life. So Cain and Abel says: In the course of time, Cain brought to the Lord an offering and Abel also brought an offering. So they bring an offering to the Lord. Now, where are they bringing their offerings? The Old Testament, typically we think of people bringing their offerings to the temple or the tabernacle. There is no temple or tabernacle at this point. So where are they bringing their offerings? It's possible that they're actually bringing their offerings to the door of Eden. And the reason is because in the previous chapter, at the end of chapter 3, there is a cherubim guarding the way to Eden. And when we see cherubim, the cherubim are always guarding the presence of God. We see that in the Ark of the Covenant where the mercy seat is surrounded by cherubim. We see in Ezekiel 10 in verse four it says: And the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of God, and the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks. And so we see it in several other places, these cherubim that are guarding the ...

  • Genesis 3: The Fall

    Genesis 3: The Fall
    2024/12/23
    The Serpent's deception of Eve is discussed. Does the Bible place the blame on Adam or on Eve for the fall of man? God's judgments on the serpent, the man, and the woman are broken down in detail. Transcription: Welcome to the Beyond the Basics Bible Study Podcast. My name is Dan Snyder and I am your host. Thank you so much for joining me for this episode on Genesis 3. As many of you know, Genesis 3 is about the fall of man, the introduction of evil into the world, and the curse that is brought onto the planet because of Adam's sin. So we'll go through an overview here of the chapter. First of all, we see the serpent introduced. The serpent deceives Eve by convincing her to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Then Eve gives the fruit to Adam, and Adam eats of the fruit. And they both notice they're naked. So they sew fig leaves together to cover themselves, and then they hide from God as they hear him walking through the garden. At this point, God finds Adam and Eve. He interrogates them. He finds out what happened, as if God didn't know already. He then curses the serpent. He curses the woman. He curses the man. And then God removes them from the garden and places an angel with a flaming sword to guard the entrance. So getting into the chapter. First, some observations about this chapter. I don't know about you, but I seem to notice that there seems to be less separation between the physical and the spiritual world at this time. That is, in the Garden of Eden pre-fall of man. Of course we have a talking serpent, we have God walking through the garden as if God is a man, God personally makes clothes for Adam and Eve, and then we see a cherubim with a flaming sword guarding that entrance to the garden. That Sherebim is clearly seen by people. And I think what we notice is, and what we're gonna see as we go through the rest of the Bible, is this is a picture of the New Jerusalem. This is a picture of one day when God is going to dwell with humans once again. There's gonna be no separation between the physical and the spiritual realm. Right now we see a very distinct separation between the physical and the spiritual realm, or at least it appears that way to our Western mindset. Now, you ask somebody in the Eastern hemisphere, if that's the case, and they may not quite agree with that. But here, here in the Western world, where we have been influenced by Greek thought over the last several thousand years, there is a separation between the physical world and the spiritual world, but it was not always that way and will not always be that way. One day there will be a merging of the physical and spiritual world just like there was in Eden. So who is the serpent? That is the question. The serpent, as we know throughout the rest of the scripture, reveals to us that the serpent is Satan. If this is your first time reading through the Bible, that's not so clear. Revelation 12:9 says: And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, he was thrown down to the earth and his angels were thrown down with him. So the question is, how did the serpent talk? And the answer is, I have no idea. Nobody knows. We do know that later on in the book of Numbers there is a donkey that talks. And off the top of my head, that's about the only two examples that I can think of of animals talking in the Bible. So clearly this isn't just any animal. We know that Jesus at one point cast demons into a herd of pigs. And so we know that demons can inhabit animal bodies. So this serpent could have been inhabited by Satan himself, which animated the serpent and gave it a voice. But we have no idea. So let's move on to the deception of the serpent. First of all, he twists God's words. He said, "Did God actually say you shall not eat of any tree in the garden?" Now, Eve did not know God's word. Eve says to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden.'" The tree that is in the midst of the garden actually describes the tree of life. If you go back to chapter 2 verse 9 it says the tree of life was in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So it was the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden. So Eve didn't know God's word. Then she says, "Neither shall you touch it." There's another problem here, God didn't actually say this. God didn't say you shall not touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So the problem here is that Adam was the one who heard God's word. God spoke this to Adam. It was Adam's responsibility to explain this to Eve, because God told this to Adam before Eve was created. So Adam had to explain this and pass God's word on to Eve, and he didn't do it properly. Adam did not properly relay God's word to Eve. So as a result, Eve does not know ...

    Genesis 2 - The Garden of Eden
    2024/12/16
    In the Beyond the Basics Bible Study Podcast, Dan Snyder discusses Genesis chapter two. The chapter recounts the creation story from a more personal perspective, emphasizing the importance of rest on the seventh day and God's creation of Adam and Eve. Snyder highlights various themes, such as rest in Christ, the role of men and women in marriage, and the significance of vulnerability before God and others. He also provides reflection questions for listeners. Transcription: Welcome to the Beyond the Basics Bible Study Podcast. My name is Dan Snyder and I am your host.
