Genesis 1:3-14

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis 1:0 It is possible that God made at first only one kind of matter, the germ of all the universe. Indeed, Scripture seems to hint this in the sublime record of the origin of light: "And God said, Let there be light, and there was light." Here light is evidently regarded as the first of all sublunary things. The principal agent in this work was the Son of God. He had made the third heaven. He had created angels. The strong Satan himself was originally the workmanship of Christ. It is no... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:5

Genesis 1:5 John 4:4 (1) One of the first lessons which God intends us to learn from the night is a larger respect for wholesome renovation. Perhaps this may not show itself in any great lengthening of our bodily life, but rather in a more healthy spirit, less exposed to that prevailing unrest which fills the air and which troubles so many minds. (2) The night is the season of wonder. A new and strangely equipped population, another race of beings, another sequence of events, comes into and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:14

Genesis 1:14 There are few words much oftener in our mouths than that short but most important word, "Time." It is the long measure of our labour, expectation, and pain; it is the scanty measure of our rest and joy. And yet, with all this frequent mention of it, there are, perhaps, few things about which men really think less, few things upon which they have less real settled thought. I. Two remarkable characteristics make up the best account which we can give of time. The one, how completely,... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Genesis 1:3

Let there be light Neither here nor in verses 14-18 is an original creative act implied. A different word is used. The sense is, made to appear; made visible. The sun and moon were created "in the beginning." The "light" of course came from the sun, but the vapour diffused the light. Later the sun appeared in an unclouded sky. read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Genesis 1:5

day The word "day" is used in Scripture in three ways: (1) that part of the solar day of twenty-four hours which is light Genesis 1:5; Genesis 1:14; John 9:4; John 11:9. (2) such a day, set apart for some distinctive purpose, as, "day of atonement" (Leviticus 23:27); "day of judgment" Matthew 10:15. (3) a period of time, long or short, during which certain revealed purposes of God are to be accomplished, as "day of the Lord." evening The use of "evening" and "morning" may be held to limit "day"... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Genesis 1:11

bring forth grass It is by no means necessary to suppose that the life-germ of seeds perished in the catastrophic judgment which overthrew the primitive order. With the restoration of dry land and light the earth would "bring forth" as described. It was "animal" life which perished, the traces of which remain as fossils. Relegate fossils to the primitive creation, and no conflict of science with the Genesis cosmogony remains. Typist's Note: THE GAP THEORY]] read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:1-8

Chapter 1:1-8Shall we now turn in our Bibles to Genesis chapter one, verse one?The word Genesis in Hebrew means "beginning." And so, it is "the book of the beginnings", and in Genesis we find the beginning of the universe, first of all, and then the beginning of the life forms within the universe, the beginning of man, the beginning of sin and death. Then we find the beginning of God's redemptive program by the beginning of a nation.The majority of the book of Genesis has to do with God's... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:9-31

Chapter 1:9-31Now on the third day,God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called the Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and herb yielding seed, and fruit trees yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so (Gen 1:9-11). Now the key here is the... read more
