      15 Minute Bible Studies - Dante Fortson

      15 Minute Bible Studies: Vol. 1

      Sometimes we just don’t have a lot of time to sit down and really dig into a Bible study like we’d love to. Sometimes we only have a few minutes to spare, and that’s where 15 minute Bible studies come in. Every study is designed to highlight major discussion points among theologians, pastors, researchers, and believers at all stages of their walk.

      The Creation

      When many of us think of the creation of the universe, the first place we often start is in Genesis 1. As we read further into the Bible, we see that the Genesis account is more of a summary than a detailed list of actual events. Most of the details about the creation can actually be found in Job 38, during God’s questioning of Job. The books of Proverbs, Isaiah, and Jeremiah also contain details to creation events that are not mentioned in the book of Genesis.

      Words Worth Knowing

      bara (Strong's #1254): create, choose, make fat

      yatsar (Strong's #3335): formed, to form, fashion

      asah (Strong's #6213): accomplish, bring forth, prepare

      Reading Selection

      "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." – Genesis 1:1-2

      When God questions Job about the creation of the earth, he also reveals minor details that we don’t get anywhere else in scripture. For a deeper study into the creation, please read Job 38 in its entirety.

      "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?" – Job 38:4-11

      The book of Proverbs contains an interesting account of creation that starts out before heaven and earth were created. Wisdom, referred to as a female, narrates the chapter, and reveals that she was brought forth from everlasting or before ever the earth was. Many mainstream churches often avoid this chapter when teaching the creation because it presents theological problems to the commonly accepted church dogma.

      "The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men." – Proverbs 8:22-31

      It is in the book of John that we first learn that Christ was the word that created all things. The father and the spirit are both mentioned as present in Genesis, but it is John’s reference to the son’s presence that completes the Trinity of creation.

      "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
