There are many stories of people in the [[Bible]] that give insight into history and culture and life. The central figure in the Bible is [[God]] who was revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God revealed himself to [[Abraham]] who is a key figure in [[Genesis]]. He revealed himself to the [[Moses]] who delivered the Israelites out of slavery, and to [[King David|David]] whom he made king over [[Israel]]. There is much to learn from every character in the Bible.
===Divine Figures===*[[God]]=== *God is the central figure of the Bible. The Bible opens in [[Holy SpiritGenesis 1:1]]*with the words that God created the universe. The following chapters and books then focus on God's revelation of himself to the world and their acceptance or rejection of him. In the [[GabrielNew Testament]]*it becomes apparent that God himself became the man Jesus. As John puts it in [[MichealJohn 1:1]], Jesus (the Word) was God: ''{{Bible verse|John|1|1|lang=WEB}}''
===Early Genesis===
The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis give an account of some of the first humans beginning with the first man [[Adam]], his wife [[Eve]], their children [[Cain]], [[Abel]] and [[Seth]] and Seth's descendent [[Noah]]. Many Christians accept that these people were actual real figures in history. Some Christians however believe that these stories are more like parables that explain the human condition and point to one God who created everything. ===Time of the The Patriarchs===*[[Abimelech]]
