Food for thought from the recorded discussion

beyt = “house” or “inside of”

resh, rosh = “begin,” “head”

reshit = “beginning”

bereshit = “inside of the beginning”

Paul said man is head of woman because he was beginning of the woman. Reuben was firstborn, the beginning of his father’s strength, power, dignity and might (Gen. 49:3). Think of the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) being the firstborn of the dead (1st Cor. 15:20). What, then, is Yeshua’s role for us now?

The first kingdoms of the world are listed in Gen. 10:10. How did God crush the beginning of those kingdoms at Babel?

What wil happen when the seed of the woman crushes the rosh of the Serpent (Gen. 3:15)?

What happens to a river when the headwaters are stopped? What happens to lies when haSatan is bound and imprisoned for 1,000 years?

Isa. 46:10 — What does it mean that God “declares from the beginning the end”? What does that say for all the circumstances that arise to foul and delay God’s plan?

Lev. 23:10 — “reshit of your harvest” When does the count begin? Why is the first of the harvest presetnted to God? Who does the first fruit represent?

1st Cor. 15:20 “Messiah has been raised from the dead the firstfruit of those who have fallen asleep.” (1st Cor. 15:23 — Messiah is the firstfruit.)

John 11:25-26; Deut. 26:10 — “I have brought forth the reshit of the land” When do you briing forward the beginning of the harvest?

John 6:41-42 — “I am the Bread that came down from Heaven.” John 6:43-45 When will all be “taught by God”?

John 1:1-3 — Who shaped the world and creation in the beginning?

Prov. 8:22 — “The LORD possessed me (wisdom) reshit of His way, before His works.”
