The Genesis Code

It has been said that everything that is going to happen in history is documented in the book of Genesis, if we know how to break the code.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

“… there is no new thing under the sun.”

Prophetic parallels found in Genesis:

Genesis 22 represents crucifixion of Jesus.

Genesis 23 depicts the death of Sarah, representing how God would bring in Gentiles through the unbelief of Israel after the crucifixion of Jesus.

Geneses 24 shows Isaac marrying a Gentile bride, symbolizing Jesus having church of Gentiles that devotedly follows Him.

Genesis 25 shows Rebekah giving birth to two boys that are two nations: 1) nation of Israel; 2) the holy nation, aka, the Church.

Genesis 22:2

God instructs Abraham:

1. Take your only son Isaac; Isaac was Abraham’s only son under God’s covenant; Jesus is God’s only begotten son

2. Get to the land of Moriah; Soloman built a temple in Moriah, foreshadowing where Jesus would be crucified

3. Offer Isaac upon one of the mountains which I will tell you

Genesis 22:3

Isaac cut the wood, carried the wood, and laid down on the wood, ready to be sacrificed, just like Jesus would carry His own cross and be slain as a sacrifice for our sins.

Genesis 22:4

On the 3^rd day, Abraham lifted up his eyes to Heaven, just as Jesus was resurrected from death 3 days after the crucifixion.

Genesis 22:5

Abraham ascended the mountain with two men, one on his left, and one on his right, just as when Jesus was crucified, there was a man on His left and a man on His left (Matthew 27:38)

Abraham said he and his son were going to the top of the mountain alone but they shall return, just as Jesus would return for His people after His crucifixion.

Genesis 22:7

Isaac spoke of the fire, the wood, and the burnt offering. Years later, Jesus would die at the exact place where Abraham set up all this, as an offering to cleanse us of our sins.

Genesis 22:13

God told Abraham He would provide the lamb. However, a ram showed up instead. That is, God did not provide a lamb at that moment in time. God provided the greatest Lamb of all at a later time point, when Jesus, who died on the cross for all of us (John 1:29).

Genesis 22:14

“And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the Mount of the LORD It Shall Be Seen.”

Genesis 24:10-14

Abraham has his chief servant (Eleazar) to go find Isaac a wife in the land of Gentiles. Eleazar rides on one camel and brings 9 other camels baring gifts. In 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, we learn that the Holy Spirit bares 9 gifts.

Abraham represents God, the Father

Isaac represents God, the only begotten Son

Eleazar represents God, the Holy Spirit

Eleazar was instructed to find Isaac a virgin bride. That means, we have to be a virgin in the spirit to be Jesus’ bride. Jesus is looking for a faithful bride, not someone who thinks this is one way to Heaven, this is another way to Heaven. If that were true, why would God send His only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins?

Genesis 22:22

Eleazar found Rebekah to be the virgin wife for Isaac. He thus proceeded to mark her on the ears and the hands. Why? In Matthew 11:15, we learn that he who has ears, let him hear. So here, Eleazar marked Rebekah so that she could hear the voice of her husband. Eleazar also marked her hands, symbolizing that we need our hands to do God’s work.

Genesis 24:60

Rebekeh was told: “… be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.” This is a reference to the church. And in Matthew 16:18, we learn that “… upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Genesis 24:64

Isaac is in the harvest field, just as Jesus came to harvest souls of those who fear God.

Genesis 24:67

“And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.”

This illustrates how Jesus was comforted by the Gentiles who chose Him and comforted Him.

Furthermore, Rebekah, representing the Gentiles, was brought into Sarah’s tent, symbolizing the Gentiles are engrafted into the Abrahamic covenant.
