Generational transition

In our study of Genesis, we have seen two consistent threads of truth introduced in the first chapter and continuing through subsequent chapters. We are learning about the powerful Person of God and being reminded of how he personally works in the lives of his people. The promise given in Genesis 3:15 that God would send One to crush Satan has now developed into the story of the people through whom the One who will accomplish this comes. In Genesis, this family line is known to be blessed by God and is relatively small. The land that God promised them is occupied by other countries. God’s people are wanderers in the land, moving from place to place.
