ADAM TO ABRAHAM The Bible Ancient Israel preserves its traditions through the use of genealogies. The history of Israel builds these genealogies in the old testament book of Genesis. Genesis is the first book in the Bible, and tells the story of creation, as well as unfolding the history behind the creation of Israel. An understanding of the Bible is critical when studying it in a historical perspective. Though not a history book, the Bible is one of the most ancient sources of history, providing names of Kings and cities once thought made up. Many of the names mentioned in Jewish literature have been proven to exist through archaeological finds. In fact, not one archaeological finding has contradicted the Bible. It is a divinely inspired book, invaluable as a resource for the examination of God's relationship with man, from ancient Israel to the present.

The Creation of IsraelThe Garden of Eden : Where was the Garden of Eden? Genesis gives a detailed description of Eden's location. Two locations stand out among the many as the most intriguing. This page explores the Garden of Eden, and possible locations for the Garden of Eden today. The Story of Adam and Eve : The story of Adam and Eve from Adam's creation up to the point leading to the creation of Eve. Adam dwelt alone for an unknown time in Eden. The Life of Adam and Eve : This section starts with the creation of Eve, and explores the life of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Cain and Able : The story of Cain and Able reaches back to the very first generations of man's existence. Satan's first attack on mankind is seen through Cain and Able. The Days of Noah : The days of Noah were some of the most mysterious and strange days the world has ever known. Noah was a direct descendant of Adam, and the great-grandson of Enoch . This was God's line of defense against the wickedness of these ancient days. The Genesis Flood : The days of Noah led God to send His judgment down upon earth. That judgment came in the form of a great, world-wide flood. The waters of this flood reached over 17,000 feet. The Sons of Noah : After the Genesis flood, it was up to Noah and his family to repopulate the earth. The responsibility ultimately fell upon the shoulders of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Some scholars believe Shem was actually Melchizedek , the Priest of the Most High God Abraham tithed to. Nimrod : In the days after the Biblical flood, mankind did not take long to stray from God. Nimrod, the son of Cush, and grandson of Ham, soon founded the empire which would plague Israel to this very day. Nimrod became the founder of the Babylonian Empire, and was the chief architect of the Tower of Babel. Terah : Terah was the father of Abraham, and responsible for keeping the family records after Shem. Together with Abraham and Lot, Terah set out from Ur for the land of Canaan. Back to Home
