Genesis 2 Vs Genesis 2

In Genesis, the first book of The Bible the Christian and Jewish creation story is told. God spoke and his Word was done. He made the heavens and the earth. He made light and drove away the dark. On the earth he created the waters and lands and man and beast.

As future king and the hero who slew Goliath, David’s life had star quality. Like public figures today, there was interest in his life. News today spreads faster, but the news about the famous always discovered by the people.

As we examine the heroes of the faith outlined for us in the Old Testament, we would be hard pressed to find a more faithful man that King David. After the death of King Saul, David became the King of the Hebrew people. David, who was meek and pious, steadfastly believed in the true God and tried to do His will. He had endured much persecution from Saul and other enemies but did not become bitter, did not lift his hand against Saul, as he was the Lord’s anointed, but placed all his hope in God, and the Lord delivered him from all his enemies.

David showed loyalty, faith, leadership, talent, and bravery. He was known as a wise ruler and a great worrier. In the same way, anyone who knows the bible probably knows about the sins David committed. Instead of going into war with his men, David stayed home and did not fight. That poor, cowardly decision led to the sin of adultery with Bathsheba, killing her husband, trying to cover up his sins, and not following God’s commands as king.

King David secured the beginnings of a prosperous Israelite empire; he made Jerusalem its capital and brought the

”We first encounter David as a lad in his father’s home at Bethlehem, where Samuel anointed him king over Israel (I Sam. 16 1 -13).2 A little later on he is called in to relieve Saul’s insanity by playing the lyre and is appointed Saul’s armour-bearer (I Sam. 16 14-23).3 His next appearance is in Saul’s camp when Israel is fighting the Philistines.”

Often a topic of debate, there are several different takes on the creation story existent in literature. Dependent on one’s religion, different beliefs about how the world we live in was created may arise. Looking deeper into the literature, one will realize there are also many similarities between creation stories. Based on the strong possibility that Genesis was influenced by the Enuma Elish, there are similarities that stem from the fact that they both describe the creation of a new world as well as differences in their interpretations and approaches to creationism.

Nehemiah the Israelite leader displays numerous traits of a Servant Leader in the biblical book, Nehemiah. Nehemiah sets out on a quest to rebuild the city of Jerusalem and the wall that surrounds his beloved home. During this time, he encounters many obstacles and will overcome all roadblocks put in front of him. This paper will provide an analysis of two significant events, building the wall around Jerusalem and organizing Jerusalem’s people to rebuild the city.

One reason that both Greek and Genesis creation stories are different is because the Gods in both stories create the universe in different ways. For example, “one half of the shell rose into the air and became the sky and the other became the earth.”(Greek) another example is, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This shows that both stories are different because the earth was created in different way in both stories. Another difference that both creation stories have is that they both have different amounts of time in which they created the earth. For example, “with the wing she laid a golden egg and for ages she sat upon the egg.”(Greek) another example is “God saw all that he made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning – the sixth day.” This shows that both creation stories are different because it took ages to create the world in the Greek creation story, but in Genesis it only took 7 days to make the

King David, a member of the tribe of Judah was chosen by God to lead his people. As everyone knows, he proved by his wise choices to be a very effective leader. As a great military strategist David united the tribes and extended the national boundaries so that in his time Israel enjoyed a greater fraction of

Another possibility is that there were two stories being told and the writer could not decide which one to put in the bible, so he put both. Though there are two clashing stories, the basic idea for this story of creation can still be seen. This might explain why Genesis 1 has a broader spectrum of creation and why Genesis 2 focuses mainly on the creation of man. In Genesis 1 the names of man are not even mentioned. In Genesis 2 however we come to learn that their names are Adam (male) and Eve (female). Also in Genesis 2 we learn exactly how Eve is created; Goad takes a rib from Adam and makes Eve from that rib. Then she is called woman, because she is made from man (Gen 2:23). This appears nowhere in Genesis 1.

Genesis chapters 1 and 2 tell the story of creation. Revelation chapters 21 and 22 talk about the new heaven and earth that God is creating. The creation account of Genesis and the renewed creation in Revelation have some common ground, but they also have some differences.

He was from the tribe of Judah, fulfilling the Messianic line. Samuel anointed David secretly and the Spirit of God came powerfully upon David. “Samuel’s anointing of David, as well as the Spirit’s empowerment of him made clear that David represented God’s choice as king” (Hindson & Yates, 476). David completely placed his faith in God and displayed his faith when he went against Goliath. David did not take any weapons except a sling and stones to kill Goliath. David knew that God was on his side and God will fight this battle. “For the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands” (1 Samuel 17:47). With God, he succeeded in killing Goliath and won the victory for the Israelites. Saul became angry and jealous towards David and ultimately banished David from Israel. King Saul and his men chased David and tried to kill him, however, God’s hand of provision was over David. Several times, David had the opportunity to kill Saul, but he spared him. This act of sparing contributes to David’s heart for God. David finally reigned in Israel and still had a heart for God. Even when his transgressions and trials came, David still loved God and asked for repentance of his sins. God made a covenant with David to bless him and his offspring. He promised to an establish eternal kingdom, which is ultimately given to Christ. “The promise of a permanent dynasty is fulfilled in Christ, the ‘son of David’, who will sit

On the other hand, Genesis chapter 2, that is 2: 4-25 is anthropocentric, focusing on the creation of man and his place within this created system. In Genesis 2, one finds that each thing is created with man being the focus, placed in a particular relationship to man. In Genesis 1, man is the epitome of creation, created in the image of God; in Genesis 2 man is the center of a circle with created things in a relationship to him. The garden is planted for man (8,15); trees are made to grow so that man may eat of them (9, 16); the two trees that are an exception have a special relationship to him (17); animals and birds are created so that man give them names (19); woman is made as man’s helper (21). Interestingly, Genesis 1 refers to the “heavens and the earth” (1:1; 2:4a), while Genesis 2 has the opposite sequence: “the earth and the heavens” (4b). This is significant, for the remainder of chapter two the emphasis is on the earth and man’s place in it. Genesis two makes no mention of light, firmament, sun, moon, stars—parts of the heavens; rather it concerns the earth, the garden, trees, rivers, animals, birds, and man and his

King David wrestled with sin, such as adultery, family disorder, and rebellion on a national level, however he also experienced great accomplishments as well. One great achievement was the unification of Israel. "Then all the tribes of Israel went to David at Hebron and told him, "We are all members of your family. For a long time, even while Saul was our King, you were the one who really led Israel. And the Lord has told you, "You will be the shepherd of my people Israel. You will be their leader" (2 Samuel 5:3). It is here that David makes a covenant with the leaders and becomes anointed as the
