Last September, I began a year-long verse by verse study of the book of Genesis. BSF ( Bible Study Fellowship) This month, I joined a study in the book of Revelation. What a interesting combination of books to study... The first book of the Bible and the last book of the Bible.
"Notice also that there is a tie between Genesis and Revelation, the first and last book of the Bible. Genesis presents the beginning, and Revelation presents the end. Note the contrast between the two books: In Genesis the earth was created; in Revelation the earth passes away. In Genesis was Satan's first rebellion; In Revelation is Satan's last rebellion. In Genesis the sun, moon, and stars were for earth's government, in Revelation these same heavenly bodies are for earth's judgement. In Genesis the sun was to govern the day; in Revelation there is no need of the sun. In Genesis darkness was called night; In Revelation there is 'no night there" ... In Genesis was the entrance of sin; in Revelation is the exodus of sin. In Genesis the curse was pronounced; in Revelation the curse is removed. In Genesis death entered; in Revelation there is no more death. In Genesis was the beginning of suffering and sorrow; in Revelation there were be no more sorrow and tears.
... And the Bible closes with another global universal book. The Revelation shows what God is going to do with His universes and His creatures. There is no other book like this."
