OwnIt365 Day 2 Notes Part 1
01/03/12 Day 2: Genesis 3-5 and Job 3-4 Genesis 3-5: 3:19- "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return. Eve- mother of all living cherubim- a celestial being 4:7- "I f you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at you door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." 5:2- He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them "Mankind" when they were created. 3:1-24- The disobedience of Adam and Eve, and God's response that affects the whole course of human history. Adam and Eve-->Cain, Abel, and Seth Seth (lived 912 years)-->Enosh Enosh (lived 905 years)-->Kenan Kenan (lived 910 years)-->Mahalalel Mahalalel (lived 895 years)-->Jared Jared (lived 962 years)-->Enoch Enoch (didn't die lived 365 years)-->Methuselah Methuselah (oldest person/longest to live lived 969 years)-->Lamech Lamech (lived 777 years)-->Noah Noah-->Shem, Ham, and Japheth Cain-->Enoch Enoch-->Irad Irad-->Mehujael Mehujael-->Methusael Methusael-->Lamech Lamech and Zillah-->Naamah and Tubal Cain Lamech and Adah-->Jabal and Jubal 3:1- "serpent"- Satan 3:5- Satan accuses God of having unworthy motives. 3:6- "good for food...pleasing to the eye...desirable for gaining wisdom"- three aspects of temptation 3:12- The man blames God and the woman-anyone but himself-for his sin. 3:13- The woman blames the serpent rather than herself. 3:14- The serpent, the woman, and the man were all judged, but only the serpent and the ground were cursed. 3:17-19- Though he would have to work hard and long (judgement), the man would be able to produce food that would sustain life (grace). 3:24- The sword of God's judgement stood between fallen humanity and God's garden. Only through God's redemption in Christ do people have access again to the tree of life. 4:1-26- How human sin progressed from murder to arrogant assertion of independence from God and claim of total self-sufficiency. 4:1- Eve acknowledged that God is the ultimate source of life. Abel- breath or temporary or meaningless 4:3-4- The contrast is not between an offering of plant life and an offering of animal life, but between a careless, thoughtless offering, and a choice, generous offering. 4:8- The first murder was especially monstrous because it was committed with deliberate deceit against a brother and against a good man-a striking illusion of the awful consequences of the fall. 4:13- Cain responded not with remorse but self-pity. 4:16- Nod- Location unknown. Nod- wandering 4:17- Cain tried to redeem himself from his wandering and vulnerable state by the activity of his hands. 4:19- Polygamy enters history. Enosh- man or human kind Jabal, Jubal, Tubal-Cain- to bring or to carry or to lead 5:3- As God created sinless Adam in his own perfect image, so now sinful Adam has a son in his own imperfect image. 5:22, 24- "walked with God"- The phrase replaces the word "lived" in the other paragraphs of the chapter and reminds us that there is a difference between walking with God and merely living. Seth- Granted Cain- brought forth or acquired; metal smith Noah- comfort
