  CONTENTS
  Book #3 opens with four lessons from the Book of Genesis (the beginning) and closes with four from the Book of Revelation (the end). Eve. We begin with Eve, who is certainly not an obscure character, but then no one in the Garden of Eden is obscure. The focus is on creation and the conclusion is that regardless of how many days it took for creation to be completed, the most important understanding is that God did it.
  Lot's Wife. The outcry due to Sodom and Gomorrah's sin was so great that it reached the ears of God. Abraham tried to save the city but the sin was too great. God did save some of his family, but Lot's wife disobeyed the instructions and turned into a mound of salt. Why?
  Potiphar's wife. This study is about how God used divine appointments to bring Joseph to Egypt so that he could provide for the family of Jacob which would ultimately grow into a mighty nation. But there were many challenges along the way, including Potiphar's wife.
  Shem, Ham & Japtheth (Noah's sons). Because the beginning would not be complete if we ignored the Flood, this lesson investigates the circumstances of Noah's family being saved although they were not deemed righteous - God said only Noah was righteous.
  Two Witnesses. The Two Witnesses appear during the end times and for three and a half years they were indestructible. No one could destroy them as they proclaimed the glory of God. But they were finally killed and their bodies lay in the street for three and a half days before God resurrected them.
  The Woman who rides the Beast. Who is this woman? Does she represent the world-wide ecumenical religious system? Does the woman represent any place where Satan rules? Does she represent the city of Rome or the city of Jerusalem? Is she a world-wide superpower nation like the USA?
  24 Elders. The 24 elders appear only in the book of Revelation and in every instance they are described worshipping God. Who are these elders and why are they always at worship?
  The New Jerusalem. Rev 21:1 reports there will be a new heaven and a new earth. Evil will ultimately be destroyed by God's wrath. God said He is making all things new and the text describes a New Jerusalem coming down from heaven that will be the dwelling place of all God's followers. Buy Now!
