The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Messianic generations interpretation; Fall and restoration via Messiah (Ber. R. 12)
This lesson explores how Genesis 2:4 connects to Jesus.
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Messianic generations interpretation; Fall and restoration via Messiah (Ber. R. 12)
Genesis opens with God creating all things, and Revelation closes with God making all things new. Jesus is the thread that connects creation to restoration. What was broken by sin is fully renewed through Christ.
King Jesus, through All Things New I see that Your reign has no end. Let Genesis 2:4 and Revelation 21:5 lift my eyes to Your eternal throne.
