Genesis: The

Foundation of Divine

Revelation.

Genesis is the seed-plot of the whole Bible. It is essential to the true understanding of its every part. It is the foundation on which Divine Revelation rests; and on which it is built up. It is not only the foundation of all Truth, but it enters into, and forms part of, all subsequent inspiration; and is at once the warp and woof of Holy Writ.

Genesis is quoted or referred to sixty times in the New Testament; and Divine authority is set like a seal on its historical facts. See Matthew 19: 4-6; 24: 37-39. Mark 7: 4,10; 10: 3-8. Luke 11: 49-51; 17: 26-29,32. John 1: 51; 7: 21-23; 8: 44-56.

It, and the Book of the Law, of which it forms part, are ascribed to Moses. See Deuteronomy 31: 9,10,24-26. Joshua 1: 7; 8: 32,35; 23: 6. 1 Kings 14: 6; 23: 25. 2 Chronicles 23: 18; 30: 16; 34: 14. Ezra 3: 2; 7: 6. Nehemiah 8: 1. Daniel 9: 11,13. Malachi 4: 4. Mark 12: 26. Luke 2: 22. John 7: 23. Acts 13: 39; 15: 5; 28: 23. 1 Corinthians 9: 9. Hebrews 10: 28.
