Seizing vs. Receiving Power • Firstborn Ep. 2
It’s not explicitly stated, but the theme of the firstborn first appears in the opening narratives of the Hebrew Bible. In Genesis 1 and 2, Yahweh elevates humans, the latecomers of creation, to rule the land. In Genesis 3, a snake, who is some kind of spiritual being, tricks the humans despite their authority as God’s image bearers. This story is echoed in other accounts of sibling rivalry that continue throughout the Hebrew Bible. Join Tim and Jon as they discuss the land rulers and sky rulers and the theme of the firstborn in Genesis 1-3.

1:05:27 such a great question at the end! Thanks again for this amazing podcast and all the work the Bible Project puts in to learning to help teach others. Just awesome work!
Just an incredible episode! I am blown away by what I just learned.
Wow God is truly speaking through you the wisdom He wants all His people to know, learn and apply to your daily decisions and daily life.
Praise God!
Wow
🙏🏿
😂 God was the first to split the " Adam" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I normally enjoy these podcasts but this one just went off topic way too much. Way too unfocused this time guys.
This was wonderful!
So the theme of the youngest being elevated to ruler as in the story of Josef is the story of man.
Why? Because God wants rulers in His image who know humility and are governed in all their actions by love. This life in this world is our classroom, our school. Nay, it is a stage for the heavens to witness God s will in man. Righteousness and power are undeserved. They are free gifts because we would be unable to earn them. We are mere dust, created for God s glory.
What a great session this was. It helped to shed light on some of the more mysterious stories and back stories of the Bible, specifically the early Genesis garden narrative. Also, unrelated, the music during the intermission is nice.
This particular podcast is so powerful. Thanking God for giving the both of you his wisdom to share with us. My quest has always been to know God more and this podcast has been a tool i am learning more about God.May he continue to bless you both for his kingdom's work.
Incredible, my mind is just spinning🤩 loveee this one thank you so much🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She is envious because she is lost from her father and husband…. her heart is hardened
The snake is lilith… she is a shape shifter capable of taking possession of a person's consciousness if they are not aligned with self and in a low vibration…
You guys are doing a Great Job!
help us Lord to use the power you have given us justly and wisely
That part about the snake's motivations reminds me of John Milton's PARADISE LOST.
Chickens,pheasants, hunting with peregrine, are air domain. We put ourules on every domain. Fishing and use of fish resources. We dig the land strip mines and coal mines. We really rape anything we are in charge of. Sad.

Regarding humans ruling over the creatures of the air, water and land…With great power comes great responsibility. We are responsible in our own corners of the World to keep it whole.
this lesson is far off
This makes me think of the parable where the land owner hires the workers in the morning and then another group at noon and gives them both the same pay for the day. The second comers weren’t around as long but were equally blessed.
Good job all of you morning love my love and my run has so much to do a higher gives us little jobs we can do I had issues focusing I'm afraid I will never focus properly I learned a different I had to struggle with this all my along with other I can't be more thankful for my new family I don't know who you think but I thank the most high all the time he took he took my father's from me to but as he says with greatness there is great responsibility and for that to happen there has to be for something new to grow or something like a baby or something boring I don't understand all the way yet but I know you guys I learned so much from you I'm going to lose a lot of people in my life but I'm going to gain a baby girl and the baby boy most highest telling he visited me again he talked through my husband again he uses his face because I learn with pictures that's why I want movies so much I learned clear pictures I can't read I don't think I'll ever be able to do normal thing he told me I'm not normal I'm special special just like you guys you guys are so special to the most high everyone of you our special I'm sorry I don't understand I'm sorry I get mixed up my whole life was jumble this Earth is dying but what's the Earth's dying he's going to make a new one it is time it is time for the elect to take their don't let the demon don't let the demon enter you are most high warriors you fight with prayer and that's how don't give up I won't give up either I'm finally going to see my mom my husband needed a little extra time because what's going on is he changing he's changing for the better he's trying to quit quit drinking he's struggling right he needs my support I helped him last night and how I helped him he wasn't really again but I I breathe for him I know how I know how to save through prayer and through most high tells me what to do I do it we were having date night whenever it happened he told me we will not and I have to listen to the Bible along with other that been recorded for me my man really loves me
Why so many assume/think/ find the need of the Book of Enoch to be in the bible?
Since the devil is daily busy to deceive the whole mankind, therefore i ask: was not the Book of Enoch created to temp mans to add into the bible? (while answering; know that no man has the right to add nor take away anything which is or is not in the bible)
And as i listen the video about the Book of Enoch, the worrie about to how many males does a women, who had 7 husbands in total belonged in the afterlife?
Haven´t you all read the bible, there be no longer males nor females nor marriages.
Mark 12:25
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Therefore seeing the need of the Book of Enoch to be in the bible, seems like adding into the bible. ?
And all who worrie about the Book of Enoch – have you all truly bother to read and study the bible without the Book of Enoch, that you see the need for it to be there?
This is not right. This is all myth.
lol, this is like studying and obsessing over a marvel comic book. There is no evidence Jesus ever existed. the entire NT is fiction. The OT is mostly stuff plagiarized from the surrounding people's of the time. There was no eden, no adam and eve.
Background music is so distracting
Dial it down a bit
Great episode… and I only had to listen to one thousand commercials 👍🏼
I feel like the sons of Adam (Cain and Abel).. are the firstBORNS.. Adam and all the rest in gen 1 are created. And Abel is the true spiritual firstborn, who is killed and whose blood cries out from the ground. Then Jesus comes down and it is necessary for him to be BORN.. technically he is not the first son to be born… yet HE IS THE FIRSTBORN!!! And He was killed ( but He gave himself. HIS BLOOD SPEAKS A BETTER WORD!!
What if we ARE the incarnate of heavenly beings? Elohim, God, asks us to call him Father. So, maybe we are his spiritual offspring, the 'sky rulers.'
Was it made to sound like this American life on purpose?
Oh I adore your podcast. All glory 2God
I have never heard insights and interpretations like this, I am spell bound and fascinated. Thank you for the refreshing insights.
So in a way Adam was the second child, being given authority from God. Because no matter how we look at it, we are “ALL” of us, children of God.
It’s amazing what all is being learned at this moment in time, and on so many levels.
Personally, I can not accept that the adversary is jealous of humans, Humans are the least. Lower than the animals. We only rule over animals because of what Jesus said the least will be greatest.
the adversary… the so-called snake in the garden, could never envy filthy dirt humans. The snake is jealous of God…
But think about John Wick. They can not kill John Wick, but they can kill his dog. So they do. President Brandon has too much security so how could an evildoer harm him? Can't get him directly but maybe you can hang out at the vet clinic and when Brandons servant brings Brandos dog for a checkup you can harm Brandons dog, knowing this will indirectly harm Brandon.
This is the dilema for humans. YOU want to fancy yourselves enviable by elohim, by snakes, by animals. You are so insecure cant even accept you are the lowest, least, worst, filthiest. You are not even John Wicks dog, you are the fleas on John Wicks dog at best. And in all your effort, you can only dream to wish you can be John Wicks dog and you do not even know about John Wick because your view is so tiny
Is it possible that when God gives man such broad authority, He was thinking in terms of man as a collective or mankind as a unit? At the tower of Babel, God even acknowledges the power of mankind when they are committed in unity towards a given task.
Man, I love you guys. I used to listen to you on a radio station (which was no longer practical for me) but I just now found you on YouTube! How cool is that?!
Did you ever think in life of questioning god's justice? I mean surely didnt create Corona, because it would feed hungry children.
More Apocrypha, please.
Next time can you please add some animation?
I’m confused about when the angels were created…and why are they the sky rulers? I thought the sky rulers were the symbols/signs that God created such as the sun and moon. I don’t get it. Somebody help me please without typing a novel
Who do we serve/worship God or man.
The mark of the beast ! A beast an entity, governed by a horn that speaks oops a king who speaks blasphemy, what like the Roman catholic Church who has a king ruling her, the pope is the head of a independent country called Vatican city so yes he is a king and priest who speaks blasphemy as he assumes to take the place of Jesus Christ, meaning he puts himself as the mediator between man and God showing himself to be God as all other earthly kings pay him homage. Now the mark of the papacy is her observance of Sunday as holy. This too is blasphemy because the Lord gave ten commandments and the fourth refers to keeping the Sabbath holy which in Hebrew custom is Saturday. If you look at the fourth commandment closely you will notice that it is phrased in the manner of a seal, eg: name,title,dominion. The arrogance of the beast is thinking it can change times and laws, but proclaiming a change of day of worship doesn't make it so. Acts 10:15 what God has cleansed you must not call common. Genesis 2:3 then God blessed the seventh Day and sanctified it, ….. Take the time to study the books of Daniel and revelation together. Then scrutinise the Roman empire who transformed into the papacy and annihilated three groups of people and caused a great falling away during the dark ages. Suffering a mortal wound during Napoleon's reign 1798, which has nowadays seamingly healed. There is a great falling away taking place now as well, for the Lord said that He did not come to bring peace on earth, but a sword, that sword is His Word the Bible. All I'm saying is look into this, the mark of the beast is worship, who do you follow God!(saturday) or man!(sunday
Hebrews 13:8 God does not change.
Malachi 3:6 God does not change.
Psalm 89:34 God does not change.
If you love God you will keep His Commandments, it's literally that simple.
Matthew 5:17 do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
Matthew 7:23 I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice Lawlessness!.
Matthew 13:41-42.
Bros, you need to really reconsider that Jewish story about Adam being brought to the angels to worship. It is occult darkness and a trap, it is falsehood. Angels were made to do God's work and to worship him, alone. Man is made to do the same. Angels and man are fellow servants, as stated by angels in the Bible. Where man tries to worship them bc they are supernatural, with an aura about them. You're on some really shaky ground there, it is bad stuff.
An amazing video! Also, I couldn't resist looking up that short film. It was cute.
Is there a video or chart that delineates the way creation days “sandwich” and pair up according to the delegates? And also a video or chart that categorizes the animals according to the kosher laws? This is so cool. 29:19
Woven into the fabric of nature.
Amazing.
