The primary scope of this investigation will be Ge 1:26 - 5:32. Hidden in prophetic riddle, the accounts of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Seth tell us of the Great war with God. how it started. it's greatest battle and how it ends.

The real people involved in the historical account are not the subject of the story. Jesus said all the scriptures speak of him, so the purpose of the historical accounts are to tell us about Christ and the cross.

The main story consists of sub parts which are seen both sequentially and as transparency overlays. The cross scene will be shown several times.

The sixth day of Genesis 1 tells us there is a mystery. God says he will make man in his image and likeness, but then he only makes man in his image. When was the likeness completed? Not until Genesis 5:2. This helps define the scope of the story.

Primary cross scenes include Adam's sleep, hiding in the tree, the ejection, and Cain and Able with Seth.

For the parents: An introduction to the method of interpretation:

The basis for this study is a first century hermeneutic. New Testament authors use it as they reference Old Testament scriptures. Called Notarikon, it refers to an attribute of Hebrew. A Hebrew word gets it’s meaning from the combined meaning of the letters within. Letters get their meanings from the jots (yods) and strokes (vavs or tittles).

The apostle John demonstrates a fluency in Notarikon in his Gospel and his letters. This gets lost in translation, so the readers of the Greek Septuagint and English translations never saw it.

The opposite of Notarikon is the formation, or building of words. Yods and vavs form letters. Letters combine in pairs to form gates (two-letter sub-roots). Letters decorate gates, and gates join gates and words to form larger words. Each time the parts of the word keep their meaning.

We use Notarikon to unpack the meaning of the animal names. This is not free-for-all allegory. Adam gave names to animals based on behaviors he saw. ‘Name’ means ‘reputation’. We observe the same behaviors in the animals today. This connection, though not scripture, is plausible and interesting.

This thesis presumes the Hebrew Square Text to be the oldest form of Hebrew writing. It challenges the common academic dogma that Paleo-Hebrew is older. This work would support the Wiseman hypothesis that eye-witnesses wrote Genesis. A restored Notarikon is used, not a rabbinic one. More on these in another work.
