B’reisheet
In the Beginning
Introduction
How many of you know that the Bible was written in Hebrew
Many say the OT was written in Hebrew, and the NT in Greek
What we have is only what we have found as evidence: Greek documents showing the NT and Hebrew for the OT.
However, most the characters and places and people found in both the OT and NT are Hebrew
They would have thought using Hebrew thought
And would have written using a Hebrew Alphabet
Our discussion today is not about the Historical, Anthropological, and Archeological evidence of this
But the significance imbedded in this fact
Unless we do it from the Hebrew perspective, we miss the whole message of redemption
Torah Portion
This Torah Portion goes from Genesis 1:1-6:8
But will only cover from Verse 1-8
This is a new Torah portion we are beginning today which presents the gospel of Messiah from the very beginning, establishing the foundation for His ministry - for what He is going to accomplish.
We are going to study this segment in two parts: from verse 1-3, and from 4-8
