1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:07,200
Genesis 1:1 opens with: “In the beginning, 
God created the heavens and the earth”.

2
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:16,200
In the beginning God created the heavens 
and the earth, when we move to the [Gospel 
of] John, Chapter 1:1, is written:

3
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:26,700
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word 
was with God, and the Word was God.”

4
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:38,800
If we continue reading verse 2 [and 3] it 
says that he, the Word, was with God and 
was God.

5
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:54,400
It says: "He was with God in the beginning. 
Through him all things were made; without 
him nothing was made that has been made".

6
00:00:55,100 --> 00:01:04,800
The Bible starts saying "in the beginning", 
and that "beginning" is related to the Word.

7
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:10,200
Perhaps in your Bible it is written “Verb” 
or “Word”, from the Greek “Logos”.

8
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:16,700
The “Logos”, which means "the Word", is Jesus 
Christ.

9
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:28,100
The Bible begins by talking about Jesus from 
the start by saying that he is the "beginning" 
and also the "end";

10
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,900
it says that he is the “first” and is also 
the “last”;

11
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:41,200
he is the "Alpha" and the "Omega", which 
are the first and the last letters of the 
Greek alphabet, equivalent to the letters 
"Alef" and "Tav" of the Hebrew alphabet.

12
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:47,200
The Bible also says that Jesus is the "Amen" 
(this is in Revelation 3:14),

13
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:53,000
which will be read in a little while when 
we talk about the “arché”, which means “the 
beginning”.

14
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:00,300
We see that the Bible begins by talking about 
"beginning" and ends by saying "Amen".

15
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Jesus is the "Amen", he is also the "beginning" 
and he is the "end".

16
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:11,700
All Scripture testifies about him, this is 
revealed by himself in [the Gospel of] John, 
chapter 5, verse 39:

17
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:22,000
"Search the scriptures; for in them you think 
you have eternal life: and they are they 
which testify of me".

18
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:31,300
The Scriptures speak of Jesus, God's purpose 
in speaking of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and 
everything else is to show Christ.

19
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,100
The goal is to speak of Christ, and from 
the beginning everything speaks of him.

20
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,800
Now we will start to see important things 
about this subject.

21
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:48,200
The word "BeReshit" (Hebrew) means "in the 
beginning".

22
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,400
The word "Reshit" is derived from the Hebrew 
word "rosh".

23
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:57,800
(This word I will write on the whiteboard)

24
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:17,500
Well, that word ["rosh"] has the meaning 
of "beginning", "first", "founder", "head", 
"firstfruit", or "main".

25
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:26,600
It also has the meaning of “firstborn”, which 
is also a word linked to “arché”, in Greek.

26
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:33,400
So "Bereshit" in Hebrew and "arché" in Greek 
are two words that mean "beginning",

27
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:38,000
“main”, “first”, “firstborn”, “head”, or 
“leader”.

28
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:46,300
This word "arché" is used in Revelation 3:14 
and in Colossians 1:9-18.

29
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,900
Let’s see what is written in Revelation 3:14, 
and this is a very misunderstood verse,

30
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:02,400
that says: “And unto the angel of the church 
of the Laodiceans write; These things say 
the Amen [who is the “Amen”? Jesus is],

31
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:08,800
the faithful and true witness, the beginning 
of the creation of God;”

32
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:15,100
not that he is God's first creature, but 
he is the foundation for all of God's creation.

33
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,500
The Bible says that all things were done 
by him, and not just through him.

34
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,600
“All things were made by him; and without 
him was not any thing made that was made” 
(John 1:3).

35
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:30,600
He is the “arché” of God, he is the architect, 
the creator of things.

36
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:48,800
In Colossians 1, from verse 9, it says: “For 
this cause we also, since the day we heard 
it, do not cease to pray for you,

37
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:58,200
and to desire that you might be filled with 
the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and 
spiritual understanding;”,

38
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:03,100
for spiritual understanding is not something 
anyone can acquire naturally.

39
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,900
In verse 10 he continues: “That you might 
walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing [not 
in just a few things, but in everything,

40
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,300
being fruitful in every good work, and increasing 
in the knowledge of God;”,

41
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,300
this is what you are doing now, you are growing 
in the knowledge of God.

42
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:30,800
(Col 1: 11,12): “Strengthened with all might, 
according to his glorious power, unto all 
patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

43
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:38,700
Giving thanks to the Father who made us suitable 
to participate in the inheritance of the 
saints in the light”.

44
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,600
Remember that in the beginning it is mentioned 
the light? God says: "Let there be light: 
and there was light;" (Gn 1:3)

45
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:51,700
What was God showing us? The Bible says that 
God shows things concerning the end from 
the beginning;

46
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,400
That light is Christ, it is a reference to 
Jesus.

47
00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:04,800
So as you continue reading John, chapter 
1, it will be revealed that John came to 
testify about the light,

48
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:09,200
John was not the light, but he spoke of the 
light, and that light is Christ.

49
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:23,600
In verses 13 to 15 of Colossians 1: “Who 
has delivered us from the power of darkness,

50
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:31,700
and has translated us into the kingdom of 
his dear Son: In whom we have redemption 
through his blood [the blood of Christ],

51
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:39,300
even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the 
image of the invisible God

52
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:50,700
[If you desire to see God, look at Christ; 
he is the express image of the person of 
the Father, not just in likeness],

53
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,100
the firstborn [“aché”] of all creation”;

54
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,000
This word "firstborn" in verse 15 was translated 
from the word "aché" in the original language.

55
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:04,200
So when it is said that he is the firstborn, 
many think that Jesus was the first to be 
created,

56
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:09,200
however, Paul continues the explanation:

57
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:16,200
"Who is the image of the invisible God, the 
firstborn ["aché"] of all creation";

58
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:29,300
“For by him were all things created, that 
are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible 
and invisible, whether they be thrones

59
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:39,000
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: 
all things were created by him, and for him" 
[See the glory of Christ!]

60
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:45,900
Verse 17: “And he is before all things, and 
by him all things are held together;

61
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:59,600
And he is the head of the body, the church: 
who is the beginning, the firstborn from 
the dead; that in all things he might have 
the preeminence”.

62
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:07,600
That is, when it is said that he is the "beginning", 
the "firstborn", or that he has the "preeminence", 
which is the "head",

63
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:15,900
all of this is related to the first word 
of the Bible: “Bereshit”; "Reshit" means 
"head", "founder", "beginning", "firstfruits".

64
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:25,800
All of the Scriptures speak of Jesus, so 
we could not begin the Bible course without 
addressing Jesus more deeply.

65
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:35,200
After all, the whole Bible talks about him, 
but many people despise Christ when they 
read the Scriptures,

66
00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:43,100
by saying that Jesus does not deserve worship, 
or that Jesus cannot receive the honor that 
the Father receives.

67
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:51,500
Whoever adopts this understanding should 
read Malachi 1: 6, in which God asks if He 
is not the Father, and where is His honor, 
is He not the Lord?

68
00:08:51,600 --> 00:09:07,700
However, when you read John 17:5, it says 
that the Son has emptied himself, and the 
Father has given him the glory that the Son 
once had with the Father, isn't that what 
he says?

69
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:13,700
"And now, O Father, glorify me with your 
own self with the glory which I had with 
you before the world was", because he had 
emptied himself.

70
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:28,000
The Bible also says that the Father gave 
the Son the power to judge, he is a judge, 
he has the power to judge, right?! For all 
to honor him...

71
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,500
(let's read these verses, they are wonderful!)

72
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,700
Open your Bible in John 5:22,23, which says:

73
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:44,800
“For the Father judges no man, but has committed 
all judgment unto the Son; [look what an 
authority!]

74
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:51,400
That all men should honor the Son, even as 
they honor the Father.

75
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:57,700
[which means, just as they honor the Father! 
But there are people who claim to honor the 
Father, but honor the Son in a "different" 
way;

76
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,300
that does not exist! The Son must be honored 
as the Father is honored]

77
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,600
He that honors not the Son honors not the 
Father who has sent him.”(John 5: 22,23)

78
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:12,700
So, brothers, we need to understand this: 
Jesus is the foundation of all Scripture.

79
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000
Everything talks about him and everything 
points to him.

80
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:25,000
All the righteous, in their righteous works, 
are described in the Bible for one purpose: 
to reveal Christ through the lives of these 
men.

81
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:30,500
So come on, for you to see what a chic thing 
from God!

82
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:41,600
In Revelation 1:8, Jesus talks about himself 
like this:

83
00:10:41,700 --> 00:11:01,000
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and 
the ending, says the Lord, who is, and who 
was, and who is to come, the Almighty".

84
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:05,400
"(...) who was, and who is to come, the Almighty”.

85
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:13,100
Let's continue reading in Revelation 1:17:

86
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:24,000
“And when I saw him [John speaking], I fell 
at his feet as dead [similar to the visions 
that Daniel and Ezekiel had]

87
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:34,700
and he laid his right hand upon me, saying 
unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the 
last”;

88
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:41,200
Do you know who it is that John saw? It is 
Jesus, "the first and the last".

89
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:53,900
Now watch Revelation 2:8, which says, "And 
unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; 
These things says the first and the last 
(...)"

90
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,900
Who is the first and the last?

91
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:11,600
And in Revelation 1:18: “I am he that lives, 
and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, 
Amen; and have the keys of hades and of death”.

92
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:21,500
Now you see, Jesus is the “first and the 
last”, he is the “beginning and the end”, 
he is also the “Alpha and Omega” (Alef and 
Tav).

93
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:38,300
In Revelation 21:6, look at what Jesus says: 
“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha 
and Omega, the beginning and the end.

94
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,300
I will give unto him that is thirsty of the 
fountain of the water of life freely.”

95
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:49,200
But why did I include Isaiah here [on the 
whiteboard]? Because people try to [deny] 
the divinity of Christ,

96
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:53,700
forgetting who is the “first” and the “last”, 
the “beginning” and the “end”,

97
00:12:53,800 --> 00:13:00,600
they also forget that Jesus could not bring 
that kind of [honor] and glory to him without 
also [possessing] the Father's divinity.

98
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:05,400
Because Isaiah says this, let's open on Isaiah 
44...

99
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:16,200
(My videos are not cut and edited, so you 
will see me opening the Bible during the 
video, ok?!)

100
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:24,100
So Isaiah 41:4 says, “Who has performed and 
done it, calling the generations from the 
beginning?

101
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,900
I the LORD, the first(...)” [continues in 
the next video]
