A deep dive into the origin of the Creator’s revelation and the specific lineage of the patriarchs.  It bridges the gap between the infinite nature of the "I AM" and the personal promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

This is such a powerful story to tell—it’s the journey of the Creator of the universe choosing to walk on the dusty paths of Earth with a single family.  Here is the story of the "Genesis of God" and the lineage of the promise.

​
 

The Eternal Story:
From the "I AM" to the Patriarchs

The Dawn of Revelation

Before there was a "where" or a "when," there was only the Self-Existent One.  The story of how God "came into play" isn't about God having a beginning—since He is eternal—but about God beginning a relationship with us.  It is a story of an infinite Light narrowing His focus down to a specific family tree to ensure that one day, the Savior Yahusha could be born into the world.

 

The Genesis of God: The Self-Existent "I AM"

In the beginning, God revealed Himself as the uncaused cause.  He doesn't rely on anything else to exist; He simply is.  In the original Hebrew, this is the power of the name Yahuah—the One who was, who is, and who is to come.

The Unchanging Nature: 
Long before He was known as the God of a specific people, He was the God of the whole cosmos.

The Scriptural Foundation: 

• Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
   

• Psalm 90:2: "Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God."
   

• Exodus 3:14: "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM’ has sent me to you.’"
  
   

Abraham: The Father of the Faith

The story truly "begins" for us when God speaks to a man named Abram in the desert.  God didn't just want to be a distant Creator anymore; He wanted a friend. He chose Abraham to start a lineage that would carry His name.
 

The Promise: 
God promised Abraham that he would be a blessing to the entire world.  This was the "legal start" of the plan to bring the Messiah.

The Scriptural Foundation: 

• Genesis 12:1-3: "The LORD had said to Abram, 'Go from your country... to the land I will show you... and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.'"
   

• Genesis 15:5: "He took him outside and said, 'Look up at the sky and count the stars... So shall your offspring be.'"
   

• Genesis 17:1: "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, 'I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless.'"
  
   

Isaac: The Miraculous Son

The promise was passed to Isaac, a child born when his parents were far too old to have children.  Isaac’s life is a "shadow" of things to come—showing that God would one day provide His own Son as a sacrifice.
 

The Test: 
On a mountain, Abraham was asked to offer Isaac, but God stopped him and provided a ram instead. This told the world: I will provide the sacrifice.

The Scriptural Foundation: 

• Genesis 17:19: "Then God said, 'Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac.  I will establish my covenant with him...'"
   

• Genesis 22:8: "Abraham answered, 'God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.'"
   

• Genesis 26:3: "Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you... I will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham."
  
   

Jacob: The Prince of God

Finally, the story moves to Isaac’s son, Jacob. He was a man who struggled, but he eventually wrestled with God and was changed forever.  His name became Israel, and his sons became the foundation of the whole nation.
 

The Transformation: 
Through Jacob, the "Family" became a "Nation."  This nation would eventually give birth to the Messiah, Yahusha.

The Scriptural Foundation: 

• Genesis 28:13: "There above it stood the LORD, and he said: 'I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.'"
   

• Genesis 32:28: "Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.'"
   

• Genesis 35:11: "And God said to him, 'I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number.'"

Conclusion: The God of the Living

The story of Genesis isn't just ancient history; it is the "legal record" of how the Creator of the universe became the God of a people.  This isn't just a list of names; it is the breathtaking story of how the Eternal "I AM" chose to become the God of your fathers.

When we say "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob," we are declaring that our God is a God of love, a God of history, a God of families, and a God who keeps His word across thousands of years.
 

He is the same God today—the Self-Existent One who has walked through history to meet us.  By reclaiming the Hebrew roots of these stories and understanding the names Yahuah and Yahusha, we are not just learning about the past—we are stepping into the very same covenant that began in the heart of Genesis.  He is the one who sent Yahusha to fulfill the promise made in a desert long ago.
 

The Final Word: * Matthew 22:32: "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
