Very Effective Knowledge In Scripture: Day 1 Genesis 1:1- Genesis 16:16

Genesis 1:1 God created the first earth age.

Genesis 1:2 The first earth age destroyed. This was a recreation of the things of earth (land separated from water, recreation of the animal/plant life. Formation of this dimension. This earth age is thousands of years old, but this earth is billions of years old. Science always agrees with God and the Bible. It only gets all twisty when we don't understand what's being spoken. Taking the KJV back to the Hebrew/Greek tells us what was written. Following the subject/object within the texts takes out the human spin and out-of-context confusion, leaving just the truth of God's Word.

Genesis 1:3-2:4 God created the second earth age:

First Day: light/dark

God is light and Satan is dark

Second Day: Firmament/Heaven/Earth

The creation of dimensions? The 1st earth age was everyone in their spiritual bodies as will be the 3rd earth age, so there was no need for a division between the spiritual bodies and flesh bodies as is the case with the 2nd earth age. Such a dimensional divide would need to be created prior to the creation of flesh man.
Firmament = Atmosphere

Third Day: Land/Water Separated & Grass/Herbs/Fruit Trees Created

The katabole wasn't the annihilation of the earth, but the destruction of that age through natural means. The land was covered by water. I personally think the katabole created the instant destruction of the dinosaurs and caused the continental drift of the continents. Here, God separated the water by receding it from off the land.

Fourth Day: Sun/Moon/Stars/Day/Night/Days/Years

God does not operate in 24 hour periods, but we do. The creation of these natural interactions with this dimension/earth age's need for sun/moon/stars & the tracking/functioning within times/seasons was necessary for flesh man to survive naturally.

Fifth Day: Fowl/Sea Life Created
Sixth Day: Beasts of Earth & All Races of Man Created

We are created in the image of our spiritual bodies. We were commanded to replenish the earth (to plenish/populate again). Christ came in the image of God (flesh body in the image of spiritual). We were all created in the 1st earth age and were with God at His creation of this 2nd earth age. "Our image", our essence in the spiritual is same in the flesh.
Biggest distinction between 6th day creation and 8th day creation (formation of Adam) is 6th day was beast of the earth and 8th day was beast of the field. 6th day man was all the races of the earth. 8th day man was the seedline for which Christ would come. Adam was formed, not created. He was designated in a special location apart from 6th day creation. He was the tiller of the ground, and the beasts of the field were for that purpose.

Seventh Day: God Rested

Genesis 2:5-25 Eight Day Creation

God formed Adam and took from him his DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, the rib of his genetic code) to make Eve (the mother of all living from whom Christ would come....only through Christ can you live eternally...she was not the mother of all physical mankind). The Hebrew word for "rib" means to curve.
The location of the Garden of Eden is one to be discussed fully later, but for now something to ponder:

The rivers of old do not in large part still have their ancient names, but different ones. The Tigris and Euphrates might not be the Tigris/Euphrates of Adam's time. When we discuss later, we can get into when those lands were settled and why those names might be today. The rivers described in the Bible could very well fit the rivers of the Pamir Plateau which is west of the Tarim Basin in Asia. This is a subject to delve into as it pertains to the Garden of Eden, Noah's flood, and the migrations of Seth/offspring.
It could very well be since God dwelled within the Garden of Eden at times and that the Tree of Life was there (Christ), that it is possible the Garden of Eden was interdimensional.
The Hebrew words for "tree": "ets" in the Hebrew means actual timber wood tree / "atseh" in the Hebrew means spine/back bone=man. The Tree of Life was Christ & The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was Satan.

Genesis 3:1-4:10

Our "fruit" is of the actions we do and the words we say. They are either good or bad depending on the fruit produced. Our "fruit" is also our offspring. "naga" in the Hebrew means to lie with woman and is the Hebrew word used in Genesis 3:3 for "touch".

The instruction to not eat/partake of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Satan) was to not engage with him at all. In doing so, he would only either twist God's words and truth (as he proved); reveal the forbidden knowledge of the 1st earth age (which would negate the purpose of this 2nd earth age); attempt to disrupt God's plan for the seedline for which Christ would come (as he proved).
One of Satan's many names is serpent. While he could take on any form he wanted (while on earth physically before Christ banished him), the form of a snake was not what he was in while engaging Eve. He was conversing with her and wholly seducing her. The fruit he put forth was both in speech and act. An apple is nowhere to be found here.
"Beguiled" in the Hebrew is either "nasha" meaning seduced (as is used in Genesis 3:13 & referred to in the Greek "exapatao"...II Corinthians 11:2-3 wholly seduced) or "ramah" meaning deceived/betray (as used in Genesis 29:25).
When God cursed Satan's offspring (Cain) he said He would "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." The enmity was between Satan (and offspring through Cain) and Eve's offspring (from Adam through Seth to Christ). Satan did indeed bruise Christ's heel on the Cross. Satan's head will indeed by bruised on Judgment Day.
Kenites are the sons of Cain (offspring of Satan/Eve) and is the Hebrew word "Qayin". Kenites are different than the inhabitants of Canaan, the Canaanites which is the Hebrew word "Kenaaniy".
Eve conceived fraternal twins (Cain from Satan & Abel from Adam). Fraternal twins are twins in two sacs and can be conceived up to six weeks apart from one another and from two different men. The word "again" in Genesis 4:2 is the Hebrew word "yacaph" meaning "to continue". Eve delivered Cain and then continued in labor delivering Abel.
The laws prior to the 10 Commandments delivered to Moses after the Exodus are not specifically stated or written, but there are several places in Genesis indicating an established law prior to the Exodus. Such is the case in Genesis 4:3-7. For Cain and Abel to be making an offering and for one to be acceptable and one not, then a set of rules would have to have been beforehand given.
Even though Cain was Satan's offspring, if he would have obeyed the laws then established, he would have been accepted just as anyone since him has the opportunity. Genesis 4:7

Genesis 4:11-24

Nod in the Hebrew means exile/wandering. It was the land of nomads. Cain dwelling in the land of Nod, east of Eden, could mean literal east or the Hebrew meaning of the word to hasten/forward.
Note that Cain's genealogy is separate and apart from Adam's because Cain was not Adam's offspring or a part of his direct genealogy. It's also interesting that Satan's offspring's names are similar or the same as those of Adam. Copying and twisting and confusion is what Satan does best.

Genesis 4:25-5:32

Short and Sweet breakdown of dates of birth/death and dates as ascertained from the verses (taking the starting point of Adam's birth date of 4004 BC):

Seth was born 3874 BC when Adam was 130 years old
Adam died 3074 BC at 930 years of age
Seth died 2962 BC at 912 years of age (had Enos at 105 yrs/age)
Enos 3769-2864 BC lived 905 years (had Cainan at 90 yrs/age)
Cainan 3679-2769 BC lived 910 years (had Mahalaleel at 70 yrs/age)
Mahalaleel 3609-2714 BC lived 895 years (had Jared at 65 yrs/age)
Jared 3544-2582 BC lived 962 years (had Enoch at 162 yrs/age)
Enoch 3382 BC and was translated 3017 BC when he was 365 years old; (had Methuselah at 65 yrs/age)
Methuselah 3317-2348 BC lived 969 years (had Lamech at 187 yr/age); oldest living & nearly a day with the Lord (1,000 years)
Lamech 3130-2353 BC lived 777 years (had Noah at 182 yr/age)
Noah 2948-1998 BC lived 950 years (had (in birth order) Japheth, Ham, Shem)
Japheth born 2448 BC, Ham born 2447 BC, Shem born 2446 BC
Thru Shem Christ would come.

Genesis 6:1-9:19

In Genesis 6:3 God capped the years of man at 120 max.
The Flood was 2348-2347 BC, a full year from boarding Ark to exiting Ark. Noah was 600 years old during the Flood.
The purpose of the Flood was to remove the offspring of the Fallen Angels (Nephilim). I tend to believe it was a regional Flood (we will later discuss location and specifics). Genesis 6 discusses the Fallen Angels and their offspring the Geber (giants). This was another attempt of Satan to deter God's Plan for this 2nd earth age. Through the Fallen Angels, knowledge of the 1st earth age and supernatural abilities were brought to this 2nd earth age. God removed this ongoing influence by destroying the 1st influx (later influx was the reason behind the Israelites' instruction to remove the inhabitants of Canaan, where the 2nd influx resided). The Geber were the giants/mighty men of Genesis 6:4. Them being the men of renown was of the 1st earth age.
Noah wasn't perfect in the sense that all he did was sin free. In Genesis 6:9, it is stipulated that he was "perfect in his generations", meaning that neither he nor his offspring mixed with the Fallen Angels. Noah was in the genealogy to Christ and that seedline remained unaffected.
In Genesis 6:19, it speaks to whom was on the Ark. Whether a regional or worldwide flood, it is immaterial in the sense that if it was worldwide, then two of every living thing boarded (which would include all races as the purpose was to only annihilate the Geber and nothing else). If it was regional, then it would be two of every kind of that region.
Another reason I believe it to be a regional flood (among more than just what is sighted in this post) is because in Genesis 8 it discusses the dove bringing back an olive leaf as a sign that the waters had abated. Olive trees take 3-12+ years to grow and produce fruit. This would indicate that the trees outside of the flood region were not impacted. To the point of 'God can do anything', yes, but He is always natural and uses natural processes!
It is promised in Genesis 8:22 that the "earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." This is the case and will be the case until Christ returns in the 7th Trump. The earth was once to be thought flat, and just as ridiculous is the global warming nonsense....beyond the facts, there is God's promise that the harvest and seasons remain.
God established His covenant with Noah. Through Noah is the seedline for which Christ came.

Genesis 9:20-29

Canaan was was the product of incest (Ham & Noah's wife). To see the nakedness of your father or to uncover you father's nakedness is a Hebrew colloquialism that means to lie with your father's wife. Ham's sin was that he had sexual relations with his father's wife. It was through this sin, not that of seeing his father unclothed, for which he was cursed by Noah.

Genesis 10:1-32

There is a lot to dissect regarding where and who of the various peoples that came through Noah's offspring and their impact in later History. I'll refrain from tidbits here and save for a deeper dissection at a later time.
Well, just one tidbit for you to ponder, regarding Cain starting ancient Babylonia and possibly being the Alusharshid, Semitic king and Nimrod possibly being Sargon I of Akkad in Mesopotamian History. Shinar being the land of Babylon. A much deeper delve into all this in the future.
From Shem came Eber and later Christ. A later study regarding the names of this seedline through History and Empires/Lands is an important one to be able to follow the scattering and historical influence of these peoples.

Genesis 11:1-9

One speech, but different dialects. Reference Genesis 10:5. Either that or, like so many other places in the Bible, this reference is out of chronological order (e.g., places where genealogy is covered and includes times/events beyond the period yet mentioned)
Babel means confusion as God confused the languages so their work to circumvent Him was removed.
Point to ponder: The tower wasn't a tower, but a interdimensional structure, ability which would have been made possible from the foreknowledge of the Babylonians (Cain's offspring/foreknowledge was not destroyed in the Flood). Way more on this later.

Genesis 11:10-30

Shem 2446-1846 BC (had Arphaxad at 100 yrs/age)
Arphaxad 2346-1908 BC (had Salah at 35 yrs/age)
Salah 2311-1878 BC (had Eber at 30 yrs/age)
Eber 2281-1817 BC (had Peleg at 34 yrs/age)
Peleg 2247-2008 BC (had Reu at 30 yrs/age)
Reu 2217-1978 BC (had Serug at 32 yrs/age)
Serug 2185-1955 BC (had Nahor at 30 yrs/age)
Nahor 2155-2007 BC (had Terah at 29 yrs/age)
Terah 2126-1921 BC (had (in birth order) Haran (born 2056 BC), Nahor, Abram (born 1996 BC) beginning at 70 yrs/age)
Thru Abram (later renamed Abraham) Christ would come.
Terah and his offspring lived in Ur of Mesopotamia.

Genesis 11:31-14:17

Terah, Abram (& Sarai later renamed Sarah, Abram's wife), Lot and went to Canaan (dwelled in Haran) where Terah died.
Sarai was Abram's half sister (same father but different mothers).
Abram moved in 1921 BC at the age of 75 years old further south into Canaan upon direction from God.
There was a second influx of Nephilim/Geber in the land of Canaan at this time.
Abram went through Sichem, Bethel (which means house of God) on down to Egypt before returning back north to Bethel.
Lot went on to dwell in the plain of Jordan toward Sodom.
God renews His covenant (Noah to Abram) regarding the seedline for which Christ would come. Abram moved to dwell in Hebron in the land of Canaan.
Amraphel king of Shinar from Genesis 14:1 was possibly the Hammurabi of Babylon (to be discussed with other History ties and dissections).
The Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim in Genesis 14:5 are giants, geber. The pagan practice of Ashteroth dates back prior to even this time, but stems definitely from the satanic pull from God that was present with both the Kenite (Satan's offspring through Cain) & the Geber from the Fallen Angels (Nephilim).

Genesis 14:18-24

Melchizedek king of Salem was Jesus (Melchi means "king" and zedek means "just" and Salem means "peace"). Melchizedek was King of the Just, King of Peace. He was the priest of the Most High God. Long before Moses there were laws that were followed and the practice of tithing, Genesis 14:20.

Genesis 15:1-16:16

The prophecy of the Israelites' servitude (thru that in Egypt) and until they had possession of the promised land for 400 years until the fourth generation (Levi, Kohath, Amram, Moses). The designation of the promised land given. 430 years from the promise to Abram and 400 years from the seed of Isaac.
Ishmael born to Abram (thru Hagar), due to Sarai's lack of faith, in 1910 BC when Abram was 86 years old. Ishmael was the first of four in the Bible God would name directly (Isaac, John the Baptist, and Christ).
Thru Ishmael the Arab nation was born. He was promised to be exceedingly multiplied, given twelve princes, and a great nation, Genesis 17:20. Further, in Genesis 16:12, he was to be against every man and every man's hand against him; living in the presence of his brethren. Those 12 princes would become the 12 Arab nations of today.
