Chapter 11 Created for the Kingdom

  • Adam is made in God's "image and likeness" which suggests a father-son relationship and a delegation of royal responsibilities. (see psalm 8:4-6)
  • The hebrew word for a covenant oath is sheva which means seven. To swear is, literally, to "seven oneself." Covenant, then is the meaning f God's Sabbath rest. God is creating a covenant bond. - that is a family bond with the cosmos Adam was to rule over the world as son of God
  • In giving the world to Adan, God gave the human race a kingdom to rule as His vicars. By their pride and disobedience, however, Adam and Eve forfeited their privileged status.
  • The section "The Comeback Trail" recounts numerous breaking and reestablishing of the covenant throughout the OT.
  • ... Melchizedek, king of Salem (Gen 14:18), who blesses Abraham as he offers a sacrifice of bread and wine to God. (Salem will later be renamed Jeru-salem and identified with Mount Zion; see Ps 76:2)
  • In the promised land, Israel remained a people set apart. A nation unlike any other, they were governed not by human laws, but by God Himself through His prophets.
  • God first gathered into one kingdom all the sons of Abraham, so that he might eventually gather all the sons of Ada.
