Genesis Worksheet - Chapter 5

Observation Questions For Genesis Chapter 5 Descendants of Adam There are some very interesting things to discuss as we read through the descendants from Adam to Noah and his sons. Take time to read through the list and we will stop and discuss some things along the way. 1. What did God create the man Adam to be like? vs. 1 2. What does God call male and female? What does this mean that He sees when He sees a marriage? vs. 2 3. At 130 years of age, Adam became a father to a son by the name of Seth. What image was his on in? vs. 3 4. How long did Adam live after he had Seth? vs. 4 5. How many years did Adam live? vs.5 6. Seth lived 105 years and became the father of Enosh. What were we told about the time of Enosh in Genesis 4:26? 7. How old was Seth when he died? vs. 8 8. We follow the lineage through Seth to we get to Jared who became the father of Enoch. When Enoch was 65 years of age, who did he become the father of? vs. 21 Note: According to vs. 22, when Enoch had Methuselah, he then walked with God. Something with the birth of Methuselah caused Enoch to 'walk' with God and many believe he got a revelation from God about the judgment of the flood to come (even though it would not come until the days of Noah). The name Methuselah has the meaning "His death shall bring" and in the year of his death (969 years later), the flood came! Enoch was a prophet and gave the first prophecy recorded in Biblical times. We don't hear about the prophecy until Jude in the New Testament times refers back to it. 9. What did Enoch prophesy about according to Jude 14-15 ? That is referring to the second coming of Christ! 10. What else are we told about Enoch in the New Testament? •Hebrews 11:5-6 - 11. What does Genesis say to confirm what is said in Hebrews that happened to Enoch when he was 365 years of age? vs. 23-24 - Do Your Math: And, indeed, in the year that Methuselah died, the flood came. Methuselah was 187 when he had Lamech, and lived 782 years more. Lamech had Noah when he was 182. The Flood came in Noah's 600th year. 187 + 182 + 600 = 969, Methuselah's age when he died. It is interesting that Methuselah's life was, in effect, a symbol of God's mercy in forestalling the coming judgment of the flood. It is therefore fitting that his lifetime is the oldest in the Bible, symbolizing the extreme extensiveness of God's mercy. 12. Methuselah lived the longest of any human we have record of. What was his age at his death? vs. 27 Note: The fact that the judgment of the flood came in the year of his death and the word came to his father Enoch almost 1000 years prior shows the patience God had with mankind in putting off his judgment in hopes that others would 'walk' with Him in fellowship. In the same way, what is happening today as we wait the second coming of Christ and the judgment of God upon sinners who do not repent of their sin and turn to Him? 2 Peter 3:3-9 - 13. Just as Enoch 'walked' with God and God translated him without his dying, what is going to happen to those who are alive in Christ at 'His coming again' before the judgment He is sending on this earth through the great tribulation at the end of the age? 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 - 14. What assurance do we have as born again believers? •1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 - 15. What should we do for one another regarding this message? •1 Thessalonians 5:11 - Going back to Genesis 5, we see the rest of Seth's lineage to the time of Noah. Methusaleh had a son named Lamech and Lamech had a son named Noah. 16. How old was Noah when he became the father of 3 sons? 17. What were the names of Noah's 3 sons? •1) •2) • 3) 18. God is being patient in not wanting any to perish, but for all to have life. He will not wait forever. One day the final judgment is going to come. •Who are you praying for to be saved? •How are you sharing with them? 19. Are you walking with God and are you ready as Enoch was to go and be with Him, whether by translation at the calling of the Lord in the air or by death at the calling of the Lord for us to come home? 20. Summarize the chapter and post a prayer if you would like.

Genesis Worksheet - Chapter 4

Observation Questions For Genesis Chapter 4 Adam & Eve had their firstborn son. 1. What did Eve name the boy and what did his name mean? vs. 1 She knew that God is the ultimate source of life. Do we always acknowledge that? What does Acts 17:24,25 tells us? - Note: Since God had told the serpent that the woman's 'seed' would crush 'his' head; it is quite possible that they realized the meaning of that and she believed that her first son was possibly the 'seed' God had promised to crush the head of the serpent. We know from our former lessons that the 'seed' or 'descendant' of Eve would eventually be the Lord Jesus Christ through the lineage that would follow years in the future. 2. Who was Eve's second son? vs. 2 3. What did Cain do for a living? vs. 2 4. What did Abel do for a living? vs. 2 5. What did Cain bring as an offering to the Lord? vs. 3 6.

How did Cain react to the Lord's favor of Abel's offering over his? vs. 5 Note: Just as God had sacrificed the first animal to get the clothes for Adam and Eve to wear, He surely taught them about sacrifices and the requirement of blood to be atoned for their sin. They seemed to understand this since brought the animals and their fat portions to the Lord. Later, when the Levitical priests are set up to offer sacrifices in the temple, the Lord says that the 'fat' is 'His' and it is to be burned as a sweet smelling aroma to Him. •Read Leviticus 3:16 and comment. 9. What does the NT tell us about the motivation of Abel's heart in his offering to the Lord? •Hebrews 11:4 - 10. What does the NT tell us about the condition of Cain's heart? (remember that although the writers of the NT were not there with Cain, it is the Holy Spirit that writes through them that knows the heart and intent of every man) •1 John 3:12 - •Jude 1:11 - Note: Cain gave from wrong motivations and God knew his heart was bent toward evil. Yet, God gave Cain the opportunity to control his jealousy/anger and not let it control him. 11. What does the Lord tell Cain in Genesis 4:6-7 What sin(s) can you think of in your life right now that you need to master before they master you? 12. What did the apostle Paul say in regard to things that would try to master him in 1 Corinthians 6:12 ? 13. Is it a sin to have anger according to Ephesians 4:26? 14. What are you suppose to do with the things that make you angry each and every day? Ephesians 4:26 15. Why is it so important that you not let anger go unchecked and allow it to form a root of bitterness? Ephesians 4:26-27 16. What are we commanded to do with bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander, and malice? Ephesians 4:31 17. What are we to walk in 'instead of' these things? Ephesians 4:32 If Cain would have only listened to God, God said his countenance would be lifted. 18. Cain let his jealousy & anger go unchecked. What was the result? Genesis 4:8 - The Lord calls Cain into accountability right away. He asks him where his brother is. Cain said he was not his brother's keeper. 19. What was crying out to God? vs. 10 20. What was Cain's punishment from the Lord for what he had done to his brother Abel? vs. 11-12 Cain felt the punishment was too much to bear. The Lord appointed a sign on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. If any were to slay him, God's vengeance would be on them 7-fold. 21. What did Cain do in verse 16? Cain had relations with his wife and she gave birth to a son they named Enoch. A city was named after him. Do you wonder "Where did Cain get his wife?" A descendant of Cain's was a man named Lamech. He took two wives: Adah and Zillah. Adah gave birth to a son named Jabal and another named Jubal. 22. What is Jubal known for? vs. 21 Must be where we get the word: jubilee Lamech's wife Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain. 23. What was Tubal-Cain known for? vs. 22 The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. 24. What did Lamech tell his two wives he had done? vs. 23 25.

Genesis Worksheet - Chapter 3

Observation Questions For Genesis Chapter 3 1. What beast had the most craftiness of all that God made? vs. 1 2. Who embodied this serpent according to Revelation 12:9? 3. How did the serpent (Satan) get the woman to doubt God's word to her? vs. 1 4. Did the woman fully understand that God had given them the blessing of eating of all the trees He had planted for them? In other words, did she understand the Lord's goodness and blessing to them? vs. 2 5. Can you see that Satan was trying to cast doubt on His goodness saying "you cannot eat of any of trees"?

What did she say the result would be? 5. Did the serpent accept her answer? What did he say back to her? vs. 4a 6. Either God was lying or the serpent is lying. They cannot both be telling the truth for one is saying she will die and the other is saying she will not die. What does the serpent continue to try to get her to reason over? vs. 4,5 Note: God, the Father, didn't want His children to know evil. He wanted them to stay away from the one thing that would open their eyes to the evil and the consequences of evil deeds. Yet, the serpent makes her feel as though God is holding out on her and keeping her from being wise. Literally, she wants to be her "own" god. 7. What 3 things did the women "see" that caused her to decide to "eat" the forbidden fruit? vs. 6 - Name the 3 things 8. How does this compare with John's words to us in 1 John 2:15-17? What are the 3 things that John says are not from the Father, but from the world? 9. The woman did not want to rebel alone. Who did she bring into it with her? vs. 6b 10. Do we see her husband resisting this temptation and reminding her and himself of what God had commanded? vs. 6 11. What happened to both of their eyes when they ate of this forbidden fruit, and what did they realize about themselves? vs. 7a 12. What did the couple do to try to cover their own rebellion and shame (nakedness)? vs. 7b 13. How do we try to cover our sin and shame rather than turn to God? Can you think of some examples? 14. What happened the next time they heard God walking in the garden in the cool of the day? vs. 8 15. Have you ever tried to hide yourself from the presence or conviction of God? Please share if you would like. We all learn from one another's testimonies. 16. Who does the Lord call into account first? vs. 9 17. What did the man say to the Lord? vs. 10 18. He had never known 'fear' before this point. What does 1 John 4:16-18 tell us concerning God's love and fear? 19. God called the man into account, saying "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat? (vs.11) ...Rather than confess his own sin, the man passes the blame to someone else. Who is he blaming - God, the woman, or both of them? vs. 12 20. Have you blamed someone for a sin that you have committed? Do you feel more justified because you can blame that person? Express yourself here if you can and take time to prayer and ask God to forgive you for passing the blame on and not taking responsibility for your own sin. (I am doing that now) 21. The Lord then spoke to the woman and asked her "what have you done?" ... Rather than confess; who did the woman blame? vs. 13 (...have you ever said "the devil made me do it" ?? ) 22. She was correct in saying "the serpent deceived her". Look up the verses on how he deceives, and comment on them. 2 Corinthians 11:13 - Revelation 12:9 - 1 Peter 5:8 - Ephesians 6:16 - 23. What should you always remember when you are tempted to doubt God's love and His promises? John 10:10 - John 8:44,45 Who is the liar? Is it ever God? 24. Back to Genesis 3 - How did the Lord curse the serpent (as a beast) for what he had done by Satan's empowerment? vs. 14 25. Take time to "think through" verse 15 of Genesis 3. Who will God put enmity between? 15a ....... Who else will He put enmity between? vs. 15b ..... What will his seed (the serpent's seed) do to the woman's seed? vs. 15c .... What will the woman's seed do to the serpent's head? vs. 15c Note: Crucifixion bruises the heel because of the nails placed in the heels. Satan's seed (those who followed his desires) put Jesus on the cross and bruised His heels. Yet, Jesus is the seed of the woman. Yes, Eve was the first woman, but through time, another woman, Mary had a Son, but He was of the "seed" of the promises of Abraham (Galatians 3:16) and He was directly from Lord and not man for Mary was a virgin and the Holy Spirit overshadowed her and she became pregnant with Christ. (Luke 1:34,35) - We also see the sign in the heaven when the dragon (serpent, devil) tried to devour the child of the woman - this was Jesus as He was being born. The Lord is not caught by surprise, but has preordained all things. Amen. The awesome news is that the head of the serpent was the crushing blow and we know that Jesus is the One who overcomes. Amen! 26. What did God say the woman would suffer as a consequence of how she had listened to the lie of the serprent? vs. 16 27. What would be cursed because Adam had listened to his wife and had eaten from the tree that God commanded them not to eat from? vs. 17 28. How would the man pay the consequence of the cursed land from then on? vs. 17-19 29. Because man was taken (created) of dust, what will he return to? vs. 19 30. What did Adam name his wife and what did it mean? vs. 20 31. Do you believe that every human being goes back to this woman? That is what God's Word tells you. Will you believe God or the spirit of the world? 32. Here is the most precious part of the story. The couple had tried to cover themselves with their own efforts (the fig leaves), but God sheds the blood of the first animal to take the skin and make garments for Adam and his wife. What was this a picture of and what did it mean for them? Read Hebrews 9:22 and then give your answer. 33. Have you accepted the shed blood of Jesus for the atonement for your sin? Nothing else will work - your religion, your family heritage, your good works - only the blood of Jesus - will wash you and make you whole. Stop trying to cover your sin with your own works and allow God's grace to completely take your sin away. Amen. 34. The Lord (speaking in the Trinity here again) said, "The man has become like one of US". How was the man like the Lord now? vs. 22 35. The Lord does not have evil, but He knows about evil. He had wanted His children to only know good, but they wanted to be their own gods and know all things, so this was the consequence. Although God has forgiven the couple and clothed them in garments of righteousness (a picture of Jesus' blood shed for them)...they have now inherited the sin nature that will pass on to their children. So that every man would now need to come through the finished work of the cross and faith in Jesus, they could not inherit eternal life yet. Therefore, why did block entrance to the tree of life at that time? vs. 22 36. Because of this, God sent them out of the garden of Eden. What would they have responsiblity to do now? vs. 23 37. As He drove the man out of the garden, what did God station at the east of the garden of Eden to guard the tree of life? vs. 24 38. I personally believe the tree of life is still standing there and we can not see it because of the immense brightness of the light of the flaming sword going in all directions to block it from the sight of mankind. When the New Jerusalem comes down from heaven and there is a new heaven and a new earth, what will still be there at that time? Read Revelation 22:1-5. ... What do you think? 39. How do we eat of the tree of life and live forever today? Read John 11:25-27 ... How will this chapter effect your life today and from here on out? Will you blame others or simply confess your faults to the Lord? Read 1 John 1:9. How should you deal with your own sin(s)? What will happen when you do? Have you taken from the tree of life and from the water of life? God is offering it to you without cost. Come and taste and see that the Lord is good. Amen. 40. Summarize this chapter and post a prayer if you would like.

It is sobering, however, to realize that the people who have died without Christ will be resurrected and stand before the Great White Throne of God to give an account of their deeds.(Rev.20:12). Most sobering is that the Book of Life will be opened at that time, and if their name is not in the Book of Life, they will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev.20:15). I believe as many commentators do that every person is recorded in the Book of Life when God gives them physical life from the womb. It is His will that none perish, but that all have eternal life (John 3:16).  The only way a name is erased from that Book is if the person rejects the Gospel that is offered him. (Psalm 69:28; Rev.3:5) I don't know how many chances a person gets in their lifetime to hear and reject, but it is clear that those who belong to Christ hear His voice and follow Him as shown to us in John chapter 10. There is a Lamb's Book of LIfe that was written before the foundation of the earth (Rev.13:8; 21:27) ... for He is all-knowing and He knows who will come to Him. Our job is to ask them to "Come". What does Revelation 22:17 say? Who will you invite to "come" today? Summarize this chapter and post a prayer if you would like. Prayer Father God, I pray ...
