09 Conclusion
Conclusion The text clearly indicates that Genesis one to eleven is actual history. It appears that Moses had some records that were passed down to him. Other information, regarding the history, was revealed to him directly by God, just as many other things relating to the law were revealed to Moses. The wording of the text makes it clear that God created in six literal days and that the Flood covered the whole world. No land animals or birds survived the flood other than those on the ark with Noah. It would appear that everything during the creation week happened at an accelerated rate. Everything from plants growing to the stars and galaxies being formed and light coming to earth happened much faster than the normal rate today. After the flood, the nations were dispersed with different languages. The scientific evidence affirms the account provided in the Bible. The first eleven chapters of Genesis provide the history of the universe, the global flood and the lineage from Adam to Abraham. It is a polemic against the false worldviews at the time. These chapters provide much of the basis for what we see today.
The whole universe and the operation of it.
Male and female of species.
The origin of sin and evil.
The reason for suffering, death and disease.
Diversity of languages and people groups.
Finally, consider Ephesians chapter six. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against all the spiritual forces of evil. The whole armor of God is primarily defensive, with only the sword being both defensive and offensive. Without the sword, which is the Word of God, we will be defeated at some point.
