Genesis 1:1: ‘In the beginning’

Alt text: A vibrant, cosmic-themed graphic featuring the Bible verse "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth..." from Genesis 1:1. The text is in bold, stylized purple font with a black outline, centered against a radiant background showing a view of Earth from space with glowing, colorful patterns and energy beams. The hallel.info logo is displayed in the lower right corner.

In seven Hebrew words of the first verse of the Bible, God started declaring the end from the beginning. The final result of the creation — shown in the Apostolic Writings, especially in the book of Revelation — will be much greater than “in the beginning.”

Generations of Adam and Seth (Genesis 5)

A graphic with a green background featuring a man in a thoughtful pose, wearing a straw hat and a green button-up shirt. The text on the graphic reads: "Food for Thought: Generations of Adam and Seth" in yellow and white cursive font, with "Genesis 5" highlighted in yellow. A subtle watermark at the bottom right corner reads "hallel.info."

The lineage represented in Genesis 5 are the leading righteous figures before the flood. The names of these men can teach us about the working of God in a world much like our own, growing increasingly dark as judgment approaches.
