GOD, the ULTIMATE CREATOR

      Only a dead (or dumb) fish goes down stream.  Live fish struggle against the current, the grade and time to get to their goal.      

     In today's world the Christian struggles against the cultural current, the educational upgrade and the limited lifetime to get to the goal of finding those would hear, planting the seed of truth and reaping the rewards of believing faith before the time clock runs out.     

    Genesis gives the who, when, where, why and what for of life;  the foundation of everything.  It tells us where we came from, why we are here and how life should be lived.  Sin, the flood, Babel were some of the bumps in the road but God has made a way through all of them.  It's the promise of a debt-paying Savior pictured in the Ark of Salvation and the scattering of God's people taking His presence to all the world.      

    Extending God's presence, expressing His person and exhibiting His power to all the world is the goal.      

    This is not an easy goal  to reach.  The rest of the Bible is the story of their struggle in relating properly to God, living His life and spreading His message.      

    Then comes revelation telling us where and how it is all going to windup.  Without Genesis there is no need for Revelation and without revelation why do we care about Genesis?      

   The struggle is to believe Genesis (what a loving Creator God did in 6 days).  The upgrade is going against educational world view historical science and time is running out to get the message out before the revelation takes us out!
