https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 1 * BOOK 74 CONNECTING THE DOTS OF SCRIPTURE – Part 1 Genesis through Revelation Okay, it’s good to see everybody in again this afternoon. For those of you out in television, believe it or not it’s raining cats and dogs in Oklahoma on Labor Day weekend. That’s kind of hard to believe, isn’t it? But anyway, we are glad you all braved the weather. You’re here, and we can fellowship together and study together. For those of you joining us on television, we always like to invite you to just sit down and study with us. Compare Scripture with Scripture with us. We don’t stick to any denominational line. We’re just going to see what the Book says. It’s between you and the Lord to determine what the message is for you personally. We’re going to do something totally different for these next few programs. I don’t know where we’ll go or how far we’ll get, but it just suddenly dawned on me the other day that it’s been a long time since we’ve done some of these things on the timeline. And these last two years we have picked up a huge share of our audience, and they’ve probably never studied this stuff with us. So for those of you who’ve been with me for twenty years, yeah, it’s old stuff. But if you haven’t been with us very long, hopefully it’ll be an eye opener. I’ll never forget, and I don’t know whether you were there at the time, Gary, but we had just finished our first thirty minute program over there in the old studio. After those four programs, the camera guys all came up, and we were trying to decide how we could arrange things so that when I’m at the blackboard the audience wouldn’t be looking at my backside. And one of the fellows who had been in my class for about fifteen years down at McAlester, he’s gone to be with the Lord now, was walking by, and he heard what we were talking about. He stopped and he said, “Look, fellows, I’ve been looking at that guy’s back for twenty years and all I ever did was learn, learn, learn.” So we never changed a thing. We’ve never tried to overcome the fact that when I’m at the board you’re just going to have to wait until I turn around again. So, we’ll be doing that today sometime. So anyway, we’re going to start clear back in Genesis chapter 3 with what I call the very first prophetic statement of Scripture. Adam and Eve have just eaten of the tree. They’ve fallen, and the curse will immediately follow. They will be out of the Garden of Eden and starting a whole new concept of life. It’s going to be under the curse. It’s going to be a whole new relationship with God—not in complete innocence, but through the process of sins forgiven. We’re going to look at that all the way from Genesis chapter 3 up until the last verse of Revelation. We don’t know how long it will take. Maybe we’ll do it in four programs or maybe in two or maybe in eight or twelve! I don’t know. We’re just going to go as the Spirit leads. So join with me now in your Bibles and turn to Genesis chapter 3. I think I’m going to go all the way up to verse 6, because it may have been a long time since most of you have had this reviewed. Here Satan has just approached them in the Garden. You remember the instruction from God was, “Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shall not eat.” The tree of life was also in the midst of the Garden, but they partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. All right, we’ll pick that up in Genesis chapter 3 verse 6. Genesis 3:6 “And when the woman saw (Now this is another point I like to make. She’s not called Eve until sometime later.) that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” So, now they’ve both eaten. Now verse 7, because of that act of disobedience—now always remember, it isn’t just the fruit that was the problem; it was their act of disobedience. That was the sin. That’s what caused the fall. Genesis 3:7 “And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” Now, if you remember when we taught this, God didn’t tell them to go and sew fig leaves together. They did that of their own volition. So the point I always like to make is from Proverbs 14:12 that says, if I remember right, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Well, that’s a perfect example here of Adam and Eve with their fig leaves. They thought it would be sufficient. That it would cover their nakedness and God would never know the difference. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
