DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this sermon, the speaker begins by discussing the concept of
'generations' in the book of Genesis, which refers to families. The
speaker emphasizes that the book of Genesis is not just about
beginnings, but also about the families of the heavens and the earth.
The speaker then focuses on the purpose of God in chapter one, which was
to prepare a home for mankind. Finally, the speaker highlights the
significance of God's preparation for man and how it demonstrates His
care and intentionality.

CONTENT

We begin at the fourth verse, and in this particular section we are
coming up now to these two verses, three verses, we have the summary and
sum total of the first five days of restoration, partial creation, of
course. Now let me read this particular section here, beginning at verse
four. It says, These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth
when they were created in the day that the Lord God made the earth and
the heavens.

It says these are the generations. Actually, this word generations means
families. This is the book, we said at the beginning, the book of
Genesis is the book not only of beginnings but the book of the families.

These are the families of the heavens and of the earth when they were
created in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. And
every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of
the field before it grew, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain
upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. Then will
you notice verse six, But there went up a mist from the earth and
watered the whole face of the ground.

You see this was here long before man was here upon the earth. And I
think that we now begin to see, discover the purpose of God in chapter
one. What was God doing in chapter one? Well, he was preparing a home
for the man that he had made.

And now God is getting ready to move this man into a place here that he
has prepared for him. I think that's one of the remarkable things about
this particular section.
