Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Sabbath, April five,
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
where we give you God's word every single day, and
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
study series. This is lesson number two how to study
Bible Prophecy, and our caption for today is the Genesis Foundation,
the Genisis Foundation. We'll get into that in just a moment,
but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
Please join our online community and make sure you have
the Companion Guide or the Life Application Guide This is
a way that we apply the truths that we study,
even in how to study Bible prophecy in four key
areas using the win or win principle. So please go
there because sometimes we have a difficult time applying what
we study. Applying what we learn very intelligent discussion, sometimes
even in ancient languages, you understand, but applying it to
our lives, like have faith is not applying like have
faith is not application. That's a concept. Well, how do
we have faith?
Speaker 1: In?
Speaker 2: What ways do we have faith? What does it look
like in our lives? Et cetera. Okay, well, please do
that at the appropriate time at your daily portion dot com.
This is one of the ways that we continue to
build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and
then we will get underway. Bather in Heaven, thank you
for this Sabbath morning and for giving us the privilege
of being called by your name, and thank you for
taking us back to the beginning. Help us to remember
our first love, Help us to remember how you gave
us your power to overcome evil. In Jesus' name, I pray,
Amen and Amen again. The lesson writer takes us right
back to the Bible Book of John, chapter one and
verse twenty nine. I'll read it and then ask you
a very important question. And the Bible reads the next day,
John saw Jesus coming toward him. We're talking about John
the Baptist, and he said, behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sins of the world. I won't
give you a whole long story about that, but this
was in fulfillment of a Bible prophecy in the Book
of Daniel that is nestled in the seventy weeks of
Years prophecy. And Messiah the Prince, the anointed One is
now appearing on the scene publicly. He's about he is
thirty years of age. I corrected myself, he's thirty years
of age. That's very important, exactly thirty years of age.
And John is saying, this is the one that God,
our father taught me about, that would appear in this
certain way. I would be the forerunner of I would
baptize him. And the rest, as they say, is history.
But the big question with which we need to contend
is why why do we need the lamb of God?
Because John made a great big deal of it. He's
in the middle of doing what he was called to do.
He's the baptizer. It might have been. It may have
it may very well have been his surname, like John,
his surname baptizer. You understand the baptist. This is how
critical it was, Like he's the one whose voice is crying.
He's crying in the wilderness. Make straight the paths to
welcome in the Messiah who was to come, And now
he's here. Why do we need in twenty twenty five
the lamb of God. And of course we go back
to the Bible Book of Genesis, and I'm going to
make a lot of really interesting parallels in a moment.
But in the Bible Book of Genesis, we see where
Adam really sold us down the river. And somebody might say,
all but Eve eight of the fruit, she was talking
to the serpent, who really was the devil? I get it.
But Adam was created first. And the Bible says as
by one man, sin entered into the world and death
by sin, and the Bible continues about salvation through Christ.
But Adam is the one responsible. He is the representative
of the human race. He was the leader. Gentlemen, are
you listening, are you married? You are the leader in
the sense of responsibility. God is looking at you in
a unique and special way, just like he was looking
at Adam. And when God came to the pair the
Holy couple, he came and said, Adam, where are you?
And we need to hear for that from that voice today, Adam,
where are you? Are you hiding in the bushes today? Adam?
Or are you standing? Are you standing ten toes down,
responsible and holy at the head of your families? I
wish I had the time, but that's not the context
of our study today. And so the lesson writers said
at the end of the first paragraph. Nearly every key
concept mentioned in Revelation appears in some form in the
opening chapters of the Bible. And I'll just call that
the Book of Genesis. And so I'm going to go
through a list of them. I have thirty written down.
I have thirty written down, but I'll just share a few.
In Genesis, chapter two and verse nine, the Bible reads
the tree of life also is in the midst of
the gardens. So we're talking about the tree of life
Revelation chapter two and verse seven to him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
And so God is not only going to restore us,
but he is going to put us into a position
because we will have made our final decision by the
time we are righteous, righteous and stay righteous. The Bible
talks about that in the Book of Revelation. So that
now when we reach forth our hand and take from
the tree of life, we'll be able to do that
from I mean fourn in the future. Okay. And then,
of course there is this serpent, or we could see
him as the dragon in the New Testament, okay. In
Genesis chapter three and verse one, the Bible says, now
the serpent, that's the devil, was more subtle than any
beast of the field which the Lord God had made.
In Revelation chapter twelve and verse nine, that same beast,
that same evil serpent, which is really the devil and
the great dragon, was cast out, that old serpent called
the devil, when he was kicked out of heaven number
three Creation and then New Creation Genesis one and verse one.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In Revelation chapter twenty one and verse one, the Bible says,
and I saw a new heaven and a new earth.
Of course, there is marriage. There's marriage. Don't don't go
too far, don't go too fast. I know exactly what
Jesus said in Matthew chapter twenty two, but the concept
the print. The Bible reads in Genesis chapter two, in
verse twenty four, therefore man shall leave his father and
mother and shall cleave to his wife. Now, Paul said,
I show you a mystery. Don't be confused about what
we're talking about. I'm speaking to you about Christ and
the Church. And so marriage is representative of our relationship
with God through Christ right and so in that Vein
and Revelation chapter nineteen and verse seven, the Bible reads,
let us be glad and rejoice, for the marriage of
the Lamb is come. And ultimately, when we look at
it all the way through to chapter twenty two, that
is God's people, ultimately after the judgment is complete, and
God's judgment and character are vindicated, and God's people are
sealed and fully holy after the judgment, and the Bible
is identifying God's people in the end in the Holy City,
and together they are the bride, the Lamb's wife. I know,
I said a lot because nineteen all the way through
the twenty two covers two very important principles. But I continue,
and then there is dominion that is lost and pardon
me restored. And God said in Genesis one, verse twenty six,
let them have dominion. And in Revelation chapter five and
verse ten, the Bible reads and has made us unto
our God, kings and priests, and we shall reign on
the earth. So much more I said I had thirty.
Can you imagine God is returning our minds to the
beginning so we can appreciate the end. Peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
