Ethnocentrism has existed since Cain killed Abel and was cursed by God. The children of Noah, the three main representatives of the original ethnicities, were also cursed and blessed accordingly. Their offspring have been at war with one another since Ham sodomized his drunken father. In Genesis 43:32 we see this trend continuing. The Egyptians… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 43-45

Notes on Genesis 41-42
I have heard the story of Joseph dozens of times in my life. The focus has always been on either Joseph being a type of Christ or as an example of how we never understand God’s plan. That when we think all is lost and our lives are worthless, God uses our suffering to bless… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 41-42
Notes on Genesis 38-40
Judah (the Messianic line) married a Canaanite woman (Hamitic) and had many sons. The firstborn, who married Tamar, was killed by God for being wicked. The second was killed by God for not being with Tamar. The Messianic line now passed through Pharez, the son of Judah and Tamar. The messy Messianic line is full… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 38-40
Notes on Genesis 35-37
Idols, images, and gods. Genesis 35:2 has Jacob (Israel) warning his family to put away their “strange gods.” This is in reference to the statues and trinkets that the family stole from Dinah’s rapists who were slaughtered in chapter 34, and the “images” (some translations say “idols”) stolen from Laban way back in chapter 31.… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 35-37
Notes on Genesis 32-34
We cannot escape our sin nature. Even after God blesses us and teaches us a strong lesson, we fall back into old habits. Several years had passed since Jacob lied and essentially stole Esau’s blessing when the two were reunited. We should note that Jacob (Israel) was in total fear of Esau (Rome) when Esau… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 32-34
Notes on Genesis 30-31
Of the twelve tribes of Israel, I have barely heard any discussion of Dan. However, the tribe of Dan may be the most interesting and important save for Judah. When the tribes of Israel are mentioned in Revelation 7, the tribes of Dan and Ephraim are not. Ephraim was blotted out because of their penchant… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 30-31
Notes on Genesis 27-29
*Updated on May 8, 2019 There is a fascinating trend of sibling rivalry in The Bible. It began with Cain and Abel. Cain, the eldest, saw his blessing given to his younger brother. In jealousy, he murdered Abel. He was then once again usurped by Seth. Ishmael was also passed over for his younger brother,… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 27-29
Notes on Genesis 22-24
Interesting. Genesis 22:8 (KJV) "God will provide himself a lamb" and (MEV) "God will provide for himself the lamb". The King James leaves a double meaning; the lamb will be provided for God AND God will become the lamb himself. Isaac was to be sacrificed, but God decided to provide the lamb that would take… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 22-24
Notes on Genesis 25-26
By the time we get to Genesis 25, we see our fourth set of brothers where one perpetuates the line of Christ, and the other is against Christ. Seth, Shem, Isaac, and Jacob are all in the Messianic line. Cain, Ham, Ishmael, and Esau are all "types" of Antichrist. Ham is the progenitor of North… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 25-26
Notes on Genesis 19-21
Sodom, in the land of Canaan (Hamitic people), is the poster city for sexual perversion. The MEN there tried to rape angels in the form of MEN (homosexuality), Lot tried to placate their lust by offering his own virgin daughters (adultery, possibly even statutory rape), and those same daughters ended up raping Lot in his… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 19-21
