I love Genesis!

As I was studying the first few chapters of Genesis, I came up with some questions. Please share your thoughts on them if you desire!

1. When did Satan fall like lightning from heaven?

I propose between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Why else would the earth be without form, void, and covered with darkness? That does not sound good.

2. Man was put in the garden of Eden. What was in the rest of the earth?

3. What exactly did Adam and Eve need to subdue and take dominion over? Satan was king of the earth at this point and I'm sure he had already messed stuff up.

4. This is not a question, but a comment. Man is just dust. Women are ribs.

5. Who was Cain afraid would kill him? His family...or someone else?? (Gen. 4:14)

6.There are two lands/regions mentioned here, Nod and Eden. In Gen. 4:16 it says "Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden." So man was in the garden, then they sinned and were cast out of the garden into Eden, but they still were in communication with the Lord. Then Cain kills Able and he goes to the land of Nod, out of the presence of the Lord. So what or who lived in Nod? How was this land different from Eden?

7. Where did Cain get his wife? From his family, or from the "outside"? (Gen. 4:17)

8. Who were these sons of Gods? Who were the giants? (Gen. 6:4)

There are my eight questions for the day. Actually, 7 questions and 1 comment.

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! “ For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?” Romans 11:33-34

I have dominion

Genesis 1:28 says "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

As I run all throughout this land, I often see posters alerting the neighborhood that there is a lost dog or cat and that the owner will give whoever finds it a reward. It may say, "Lost Cat: Reward! Snowball is a very nice white cat and has been missing since September 31st. She is extremely friendly and likes to be rubbed on her belly. If you find her please grab her and call us at this number 555-lost. We miss her very much, please help us find her!"

The community right north of PQ is called Santa Luz and is a very wealthy area. I often see these posters and they have huge rewards. One I saw was a $500 reward. So I saw this and I thought, "Lord, if I truly have dominion over all the earth and over every living thing that moves on the earth, then I should have dominion over these lost animals." So as a restored Eve I took my authority that Jesus gave me and I said "All you lost animals, I say come forth from the wilderness and come to me right now!" I felt a little like Noah as he commanded the animals to come into the Ark. "Come forth you animals, out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Come forth you lost doggies and kitties, you shall no longer be lost but found. I say you will no longer be as the prodigal son, tromping through the canyons getting all dirty and eating diseased mice and rats, come back to your fathers house, come to your senses and be restored to your million dollar homes and to gourmet cat and dog food given to you freely everyday. "

I especially worry about the lost cats because the enemy, the cayotes, are like roaring lions, looking for whom they may devour.

So I prayed this prayer, I asserted my authority, but I have not yet seen the word come to pass. No dogs or cats came to me on that run, but I stand upon the word of the Lord. It is not for me to know the times or the seasons. I shall wait upon the lord and I believe that in due time I will hear my doorbell ring and there will be masses of lost animals sitting there saying, "We submit to you, daughter of Eve. Please take us home to our owners and receive your reward that has been given to you since the foundations of the world. "
