Transition: Creation and greatness of YHWH are discovered throughout the Old Testament
III.
Where are they found?
I.
Creation
A.
Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface
of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters" (New
International Version, [NIV])
Genesis 1:26-27 "Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image,
in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the
birds in the sky, over the livestock and the wild animals, and over all
the creatures that move along the ground.' So, God created mankind in
his image, in the image of God he created then; male and female he
created them"
New International Version (NIV)
B.
Genesis 7:24 "The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty
days" New International Version (NIV).
C.
Genesis 9:1-2 "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to
them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth" New
International Version (NIV)
D.
Genesis 12:1-3 “The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country,
your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you I
will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make
your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who
bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on
earth will be blessed through you”
New International Version (NIV)
E.
Deuteronomy 28:9 “The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as
he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your
God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the people on earth
will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear
you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of
your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground
—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you” New
International Version (NIV).
V.
Greatness of YHWH
A.
1 Samuel 12:22 “For the sake of his great name the Lord will not reject
his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own” (NIV)
B.
1 Chronicles 16:25 “For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods” New International Version (NIV).
C.
1 JOHN 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness”
New
International Version (NIV).
D.
God promises a king that will rule over all the kingdoms to David.
After David fails God and dies, he has not sons ruling. So, God rises
us a king from David like he promises and that is King Jesus, God's
son (Wright,2019)
E.
God saved Noah and gave him and his family safety during the flood
along with the animals. God was ashamed of mankind and wanted to
create a new one. He flooded the earth for 150 days and when the
waters receded, he told Noah to multiply and fill the earth. That was
the new creation of mankind (Wright,2019)
F.
Exodus 3-7-10 “The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my
people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave
drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come
down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them
up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with
milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites,
Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites

has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing
them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people
the Israelites out of Egypt.”
New International Version (NIV)
VI.
How are they important in their own way?
A.
Creation is important in its own way because without Gods creation we as mankind
would not be here. The creation of Gods faith, love and peace would not exist on earth
without god. God’s love will forever be unconditional to his children.
B.
The Greatness Of YHWH(GOD) is important in its own way because YHWH is the
purpose and reference point of all creation. Without God there is no beginning or no end.
God's Word teaches us that God is the reason of life. God's greatness is incomprehensible
and immeasurable, and God’s word only gives us a glimpse of how powerful God is
throughout creation. God is the source of all goodness, and God's character determines
the goodness of his world. God's greatness shows mankind what we need to do in order to
live the righteous path, and that's what makes it so meaningful. When you meditate on
God's good intentions, you stop looking and focusing on the evil things in the world.
YHWH's greatness helps us overcome the challenges of the world and not be discouraged
by the wickedness that abounds in the world.
Transition: Based on what you’ve learned so far in the course, how do the themes you
chose fit into the greater OT storyline? (Part lll)
(Part lll)
I.
The two themes mentioned in part II that I thought would fit into the greater OT storyline
was Creation and The Greatness of YHWH.
Creation fits into the greater Old Testament
storyline in many unique ways. Because of the importance of Gods creations,
Without
Gods creations the Old Testament would not be what we are talking about today, there
would be no mankind or anything of a living aspect without God creating. Also, Gods
promises that he fulfilled to his obedient ones plays a big factor in the greater OT
storyline with the theme Creation . THE Greatness of YHWH's fits into the greater Old
Testament storyline by showing that God has absolute control and power over all created
things. God show his greatness Throughout the Old Testament, God continues to prove
his greatness to his people till this day. God uses his power to protect his people from
utter destruction and to preserve a good priesthood, God greatness is remarkable. God
will always be there for us and show us his power the way his children need it. Without
God we would have nothing
