Genesis: The Book of Foundations

Genesis 2:4–17 —

Two Lines of People: Godly and Ungodly

Paul J. Bucknell

"God’s design was perfectly to restore all the ruins of the fall, so far as concerns the elect part of the world, by his Son; and therefore we read of the restitution of all things, Acts 3:21." Jonathan. Edwards, 535

Ungodly seed and line of the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 becomes dividing point of the two kingdoms.
Godly seed and line of Messiah.

"Rabbi Tanchuma said, in the name of Rabbi Samuel: Eve had respect [had regard, looked forward] to that Seed which is to come from another place. And who is this? This is Messiah the King." Edersheim, p. 85.


• How has God involved Himself in the making of society?
• How are we to interpret calamity?
