Genesis: The Foundation of Divine Revelation.
This Is Appendix 2 From The Companion Bible.
Genesis is the seed-plot of the whole Bible. It is essential to the true
understanding of its every part. It is the foundation on which Divine
Revelation rests; and on which it is built up. It is not only the foundation
of all Truth, but it enters into, and forms part of, all subsequent inspiration;
and is at once the warp and woof of Holy Writ.
Genesis is quoted or referred to sixty times in the New
Testament; and Divine authority is set like a seal on its historical facts.
See Matthew 19:4-6; 24:37-39. Mark 7:4,10; 10:3-8. Luke 11:49-51; 17:26-29,32.
John 1:51; 7:21-23; 8:44-56.
It, and the Book of the Law, of which it forms part, are
ascribed to Moses. See Deuteronomy 31:9,10,24-26. Joshua 1:7; 8:32,35;
