I've been wanting to read the Bible in chronological order, so why not correlate with the new year?
Observations on reading Genesis 1-6 so far:
*increasing enmity between humans and earth/soil:
(a) Fall/Curse
(b) Cain: can't reap from ground, fugitive
(c) Lamech's naming of Noah: hope, prayer for rescue from ground's curse
(d) wickedness of man great on the earth
(e) God decides to kill all flesh with the earth
*"walked with God" can either mean:
(a) God takes you from earth, as with Enoch, or
(b) God preserves you, as with Noah, and destroys everyone else
I'd love to hear any thoughts you have!
Now in Job!
