1.    The Beginning of the Universe: God created everything that exists.

2.    The Beginning of Humanity: God specially created human beings as the pinnacle of his creation.

3.    The Beginning of Evil and its Consequences: All humanity has turned from God, chosen its own way, and has decided to determine their own versions of good/evil.

4.    The Beginning of Culture and Civilization: Humanity begins to gather into communities and develop talents, skills, and occupational craftsmanship.

5.    The Beginning of Nations: All nations on earth are descended from Noah and his sons. They spread out and formed their own unique civilizations and built cities.

6.    The Beginning of the Covenant: God graciously enters into covenants with fallen human begins to rescue them and to initiate a plan to rescue the human race.


Main Idea: Though the people God made in his image rebelled against Him and are worthy of judgment, God’s plan cannot be thwarted. He created a blessed, sanctified nation of people through whom he would bring a deliverer to rescue his fallen image-bearers.
