God promised that Abraham will be the father of great nations and an everlasting covenant will establish with his descendant and Kings will come from him. For this very reason the Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham which means father of many. The Mission was also considered outside Abraham’s offspring to include all human beings. God’s plan was not only to separate Abram from his family and blesses him lonely; but he wants Abraham to be a worldwide blessing through his descendants and his faith. The purpose God’s mission, therefore, was to start a plan by which to share his blessing with whole the world as an alternative of dealing every single nation individually.

Good knowledge of the history of God’s covenants helps us to understand where we fit in God’s timetable and what the Word of God is speaking to us concerning our lives today.

It is the most important of all the High and Holy Days and is a time of year when the people seek God for reconciliation with Him as well as reconciling between themselves, although the actual reconciling between people is supposed to be done before the actual Day of Atonement as the day itself is only for reconciliation between man and God. In other words, it is a time of repentance and the seeking of forgiveness. In the Jewish tradition it is also regarded as the time when God decides the fate of each individual. It is believed that it is at this time names are written in the books by God – who will live and who will die, who will have a good or bad life for the next year.

It also provides us with the beginning of redemptive history for mankind; he fall of man and his need for salvation (NIV 2-3). Summary: Genesis in its Greek meaning means “origins” and the Hebrew word is translated “In the Beginning (Marty 8). Genesis chapter one takes us through the beginning of the universe.
