🌿 [Genesis Chapter 50] The Stage Belongs to Man, the Conclusion is Death – Why was Genesis written?

AI-generated image

1️⃣ What is the core of Genesis Chapter 50?

On the 24th day of organizing the Book of Genesis, I finally reached the final chapter, Chapter 50. The content ends with the deaths of Jacob and Joseph. To understand the actual facts the final chapter leaves behind, I summarized the core points just as I did with the first chapter.

Just as there is an end for every beginning, I wanted to see what truth would be revealed between the first and last chapters:

  • In the first chapter: The protagonist is God. The stage is the Creation of Heaven and Earth, and the most important act was the creation of Man.

  • In the last chapter: The protagonist is Man. The stage is the scene of Death.

By applying this logic of "Stage and Protagonist," the core message of Genesis 50 becomes clear.

2️⃣ What lesson does the Bible want to give us in Genesis 50?

I felt there was a realization waiting for us here. I have always read the Bible as it is, without ever studying it academically. However, while organizing the contents, I noticed that the first and last verses hold immense meaning.

  • If we read the core conclusion derived above in reverse:

Man dies ➡️ God, who created the heavens and the earth (and made Man).

📌 By starting from death and reading backward, the "Creator" becomes visible. A God who is capable of creating another world.

  • Suddenly, the phrase "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last" came to mind. 
Since Genesis is the first book of the Bible, I thought the last chapter of the last book, Revelation, would provide an even better answer. The core of the final chapter of Revelation is:

  • It is not the end, but a NEW BEGINNING.

✏️ My Conclusion - 1

There are many invisible things in this world that no one can deny!

  • The sun rises and sets, yet a new morning always opens.

  • The four seasons exist, and their repetition is a constant phenomenon.

  • Flowers bloom and wither, and new flowers are created again.

In Eastern philosophy, this is explained as the repetition and circulation of nature's changes through Yin and Yang, governed by the laws of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water).

I will let the words of the Apostle Paul—the man who organized his writings most logically in the Bible—serve as my conclusion:

"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." — Romans 1:20

✏️ My Conclusion - 2

While the Bible demands faith, it records the phenomena that occur in the universe, and the universe continues to maintain and operate those phenomena.

The very first part of the Bible, Genesis 1:1, is my favorite verse:

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

These words were not recorded simply to say that God is great. Perhaps God's intention in placing these words at the very beginning was:

"Can you believe this word of Mine?"

🌿 [Genesis 40–45] Why Joseph Had No Choice But to Weep Aloud: The One Fact He Had Never Known

  AI-generated image Joseph was called by his brothers “ the dreamer ” (Gen 37:19). Because of his dreams, he was hated even more by them, and even his father Jacob rebuked him. Yet the Scripture says that Jacob kept those words in mind. (Having encountered God through dreams, dreams must have held special meaning for Jacob.) 1. From “the dreamer” to “the interpreter of dreams” In Genesis 40 and 41, Joseph progresses and appears as one who interprets dreams . However, he does not take credit for himself. He entrusts the interpretation entirely to God. Before hearing the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker, he says: “Do not interpretations belong to God?” (Gen 40:8) Before interpreting Pharaoh’s dream, he says: “God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer” (Gen 41:16) Joseph not only interprets the dreams but also provides solutions. He is recognized as a man of wisdom and becomes governor over Egypt. 👉 In this way, Joseph is used as a stepping stone in the process through wh...

In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt." "God has made Joseph lord of all Egypt; come down to him without delay." "The famine will last five more years; bring all your possessions and settle in the land of Goshen." "Joseph will provide for you and all your hou...
