The Revelation of Jesus Christ
|
| Rev.1.1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: |

God's predictions about the future are an important part of His Word. 'What shall come to pass' simply means 'what will happen'. Let's see what happens and what is predicted in the Book of Genesis. When Cain killed Abel it was the first murder. A pattern of behaviour began to emerge that was to become part of human nature. Cain predicted that anyone that met him would try to kill him. As in the days of Noah, God pleads today for us to come into a saving relationship with Him. The earth is filled with violence. To establish His kingdom God will destroy the earth but not with water. He assures us of this, even today, through the signature of the rainbow in the sky. Fearing that he would be killed because of his beautiful wife, Abram asked Sarai to say she was his sister - first with Pharaoh and then with Abimelech. Lot chose to settle in the well-watered plains of Jordan, living in the city of Sodom. By God's intervention he and his daughters escaped the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah. Lot's daughters felt that without their intervention they would not have an opportunity to have children. So they made their father drunk and slept with him. God promised Abraham that he would be a father of nations. Abraham proved his faithfulness by his willingness to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham's servant, commissioned to find a wife for his master's son, asked God to give him a sign - the one who would offer to draw water for him and his camels would be the chosen woman. Thus was Rebecca found for Isaac. Lastly 'Come near, I pray thee' tells the story of Jacob - his future blessed in error yet bound in blessing. We see that God's predictions are promises that are sure whereas man's predictions are often nothing more than anticipated fears. When we surrender to God's leading and remember to trust in Him, we will avoid the awkward and sometimes threatening situations that occur when we take matters into our own hands as Lot's family and Jacob did. |
| Genesis 1-27 | Genesis 28-50 | Notes | | ||
Behold, thou hast driven me out |
|||
| Gen.4.14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. |  |
||
Come into the ark |
|||
| Gen.6.13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. |
Gen.6.18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. Gen.6.20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. Gen.7.1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Gen.9.14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: |
 |
|
I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon |
|||
| Gen.10.19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. Gen.12.11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: Gen.12.12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. Gen.12.14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. |
 |
||
Lot lifted up his eyes |
|||
| Gen.13.10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. |  |
||
Kings shall come out of thee |
|||
| Gen.15.4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. Gen.15.14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. Gen.15.16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. Gen.17.6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. |
 |
||
Haste thee, escape thither |
|||
| Gen.18.5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. |
Gen.18.21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. Gen.19.22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. |
 |
|
There is not a man in the earth to come in unto us |
|||
| Gen.19.31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: Gen.19.32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. |
 |
||
Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? |
|||
| Gen.20.4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Gen.20.13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. |
 |
||
I and the lad will go yonder and worship |
|||
| Gen.22.5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. |  |
||
The daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water |
|||
| Gen.24.13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: Gen.24.14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master. |
Gen.24.31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. Gen.24.41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. Gen.24.43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; |
 |
|
Come near, I pray thee |
|||
| Gen.26.27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? Gen.27.21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. |
Gen.27.26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. Gen.27.40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. |
