The Just Shall Live by Faith – Part 12B

God had PURPOSE when He formed the earth and therefore, Satan’s rebellion and the resulting ruin of the earth DID NOT thwart His plans and purposes−Isa. 14:24, 27.God initiated the work of restoring the earth which had since become ruined but before that, the Lamb, Jesus Christ, had FIRST to be slain−Rev. 13:8.On Days 1-4, God did a RESTORATIVE work with respect to the earth−Gen. 1:2b-19.On Days Five and Six, God performed a CREATIVE work i.e., He spoke and created/made−Gen. 1:20-31.The first 34 verses of the Bible reveal God’s perfect pattern [Creation, Ruin, Restoration, Rest] and God’s perfect established SEPTENARY arrangement of the Scriptures seen in Days One to Seven.
