This book on the first chapters of Genesis is not concerning the literal creation of the universe. There is more than an ample supply of commentaries on how God created the earth and the heavens. Genesis is the book of beginnings. The first chapter of Genesis is about the mystical creation of the Body of Christ. In what way was Jesus the Beginning of the creation of God? Enjoy the study.

The book you are about to read is very intense with Bible references and will bounce you vigorously from time to time into reading and checking them out. The title In the Beginning, God . . . is the first in a series of three books that are coming out very soon under the Glimpse series, which will study and opine on the first three chapters of the book of Genesis and on different books, chapters, passages, verses, and words of the Bible such as grace, blood, love, mercy (and lo, I am with you always), peace, humility, hell, darkness, kingdom, heaven, king, servant, eternity, law, resurrection, baptism, precepts, ordinances, and understanding. It will also study sentences, paragraphs, sections, etc. The Glimpse series will bring short writings, essays, and booklets on a variety of important subjects of the Holy Book. The first book is about Genesis chapter 1. Remember what is written on the cover of this book. It’s just a glimpse. The second book is about Genesis chapter 2, and the third will be about Genesis chapter 3.

'In the beginning God created The Country Church' has been written during the busy days of active growth of The Country Church in Marion, Texas. Several well known leaders in church growth requested that the history and events of The Country Church be recorded. Pastor Butch Ikels has attempted to carry this out with a three fold purpose. First and foremost, to exalt The Lovely Lord Jesus who made it all possible. Second, to inspire church planters in rural areas to trust the Lord and dare to minister outside the box. Thirdly, to encourage and edify those who serve in remote or ill-defined areas. Prayerfully, that through the pages of this book, they might see the miracle of I Corinthians 1:18-31 lived out in a congregation.

Unlike animals, we can consider that human beings attach great importance to our personal reality. Certainly, other forms of life that we know of on this planet do not have a sufficient level of consciousness to carry out this type of reasoning. Thinking about who we are, we cannot exclude another existential doubt: 'where do we come from?' Empirical science from the 16th to the 20th centuries would tell us that "simply" we proceed from certain "casual" processes in "particular" environments that resulted in various changes in life forms, which were changing psychically, morphologically and biologically, to go becoming completely different, and that thousands and millions of years later would become what we can now say that we are. Do you wonder what the mind has to do with the origin of the cosmos? Everything. I'm not going to address data that I covered half a decade ago in the initial Sakla Rebellion trilogy, but I do have to remind you, if you've read it, that mythology plays an important role in our understanding of the perceivable universe - as long as they're understood. their symbols and know how to adapt to the principles of the mind -. As a point of reference I use the story that we have received by transmission from the Hebrew prophet Moses (or Mashah, if we read it literally from the Hebrew language, or Moshe, as the Jews call him). Why? Well, I am Jewish by descent, an Israeli citizen and I speak Hebrew, so what better than to give my opinion from a more scholarly angle on this field? And if you ask me, why Moses? Although, I can take some isolated source as a skeleton to build the body of this book, but what happens is that the circumstances have occurred in such a way that these writings – which To the speculative and superstitious mind, man, and the rest of existing things, were created by one or more supernatural beings from some other state of abstract reality, while others would attribute this fact to a source in other dimensions, or other planets. Mythologies are a clear example of these phenomenal and acheetypal reasoning. Although, it was only until the consolidation of ideas about the mind that exploded with individuals like Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung - among many others - that mythology and its archetypes, and the idea of a Collective Mind, began to be understood. Already Plato and a few before him, even Freud and Jung, had commented on this, and had indicated the reality of Mind over the "world" of phenomena. However, the ability to deeply understand the apparent inscrutability of the Mind was not yet fully plausible until less than two centuries ago.
