THE LAST DAYS STUDY 

Title: "From Genesis to Revelation—The Bookends of Redemption"

I. The Earth and Creation  

- Genesis 1:1  

  "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."  

Revelation 21:1 

  "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."

II. The Work of Satan

Genesis 3:1–6  

  "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  

  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden:  

  But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.  

  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  

  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  

  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."  

Revelation 20:7–10  

  "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,  

  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.  

  And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.  

  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

III. Governing Lights and Judgment

Genesis 1:14–18  

  "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:  

  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.  

  And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.  

  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth."  

Revelation 6:12–13

  "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;  

  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind."

IV. The Light of God  

Genesis 1:16 

  "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."

V. Time and Darkness

  "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."

Revelation 21:1

  "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."

VII. The Story of Sin

Genesis 3:6–7 

  "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  

  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."  

Revelation 21:27  

  "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

VIII. Curse and Restoration 

Genesis 3:17  

  "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life."  

Revelation 22:3

  "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him."

IX. Death and Eternal Life  

Genesis 2:17  

  "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."  

Genesis 3:19 

  "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."  

Revelation 21:4

X. Suffering and Comfort 

Genesis 3:16–17  

  "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.  

  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life."  

Revelation 21:4 

  "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

XI. Marriage and Redemption

Genesis 2:21–24

  "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;  

  And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.  

  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.  

  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."  

Revelation 19:7–9 

  "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.  

  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.  

  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."

XII. The City of Man vs. The City of God  

Genesis 11:1–9  

  "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.  

  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.  

  And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.  

  And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.  

  And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.  

  And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  

  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.  

  So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.  

  Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."  

Revelation 18:2  

  "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."  

Revelation 21:2 

  "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

XIII. The Enemy’s Doom

  "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
