Genesis was fairly easy.

Genesis is not easy. There's a lot going on (even if you're not into nephelim-obsessed nuttiness).

For instance, I've been through Genesis studies where it was walked through, a bare history. We never discussed anything the New Testament said about the significance of Abraham.

I would like to teach Ezekiel and Daniel for I think they tie into the Book of Revelation, which I have taught.

The more you read the prophets, the more you'll get out of the Apocalypse.

Every time I go through Revelation, I'm impressed by how much John drew from the Old Testament, esp. the prophets. It's almost like he's providing an authoritative NT commentary on the prophets.

Genesis wasn’t easy to do. It was just easier to understand some of the time. Yes, the mentioning of Abraham and all the other details were ones we spent quite a bit of time on.

We also used a timeline that tied into other Old Testament writings as well as to where various passages were quoted in the New Testament.

What is amazing about Christ’s teachings is how often he pulled on the Old Testament to teach the Pharisees and rich Sadducees, but they never seemed to grasp his teachings.
