Thank you! My late pastor also taught from the Geneva Bible, and also called it the Founders' Bible. Thank you for highlighting God's intimacy, his care, his seeing us, every one.
The first printed Christian Bible is the Guttenburg Bible first thing ever printed by the printing press in the 1400’s. Predates all Protestant Bibles by several decades. The Douay Rheims version is the English translation.
Around the 17 min mark Dr Wolf alluded to Abraham's descendants as being an example of "perfect people". I think that's a misunderstanding of the phrase "chosen people".
The Old Testament (OT), and a good bit of the New Testament (NT) are rife with examples of Hebrew imperfections. Many people, after reading the OT, have and continue to wonder how God could select such a people. As a person who is not of Abraham's genetic lineage I guess it tells me my ancestors were probably as bad or worse than Abraham's lineage. That tells me where my imperfections come from.
However through my personal faith in Jesus the Christ I am a descendent, spiritually, of Father Abraham; yet another of the realities we can't begin to comprehend. In this amazing life anyway. 🤠
Aloha! I am so excited you are reading this Bible on Substack! It’s incredible how there seems to be a revival towards seeking the truth through reading the Bible these days with so much apparent coordinated evil working in the world. I loved your interview with Tucker Carlson And got so interested in this Bible. A couple of questions. One I can’t seem to find Genesis one through 10 in your video feeds here on Substack. Two, I wonder if you will give us the ISBN number of this Bible - and possibly where you purchased it- as I would like to purchase a copy. God bless you for what you were doing!
"After the Flood" by Bill Cooper is a well researched book that works to establish the historical reliability of the genealogies of the various races of Europe that trace their lineage all the way to the sons of Noah.
Oh, Hagar! Don’t we all, languishing in our deserts, just want to be seen? The tenderness with which Hagar is treated is so very beautiful and profound. Yet, it could not have been easy for her to “return to thy dame, and humble thyself under her hands.” And the name to be given her son certainly foreshadowed a mother’s heartache. Perhaps knowledge she was and would be “seen” — despite appearances to the contrary — gave Hagar necessary encouragement, strength and faith going forward? Much to ponder here! Until your reading, Dr Wolf, I did not appreciate this story. Thank you so much.
Maybe, in keeping with the Geneva Bible note at 16:7 stating the angel was Christ (!), Hagar received a glimpse of “the kingdom of God”? The kingdom is not always tangible, but it IS and it will be, and every once in a while, if we are fortunate, we get a glimpse of it.

1st John 4:19
Hagar saw God because he first saw her.

Exactly what everyone needs to hear

I find this reading so moving. I have paraphrased it in Bible study. It’s a minor revelation of who our God is.
bible study is necessary, thank you for being a good neighbour, Naomi!!
Thank You
Love that phrase " The God who sees me"
