Excerpt from The Old Testament According to the Authorised Version: With a Brief Commentary by Various Author; The Pentateuch, With Maps and Plans 4. The Book of Genesis is also introductory to the rest of Scrip ture, in the series of direct prophecies which it contains having their fulfilment first in the history Of God's ancient people, then in Christ and His Church, and extending the view to the end and con summation Of all things. The first and most comprehensive of these predictions is the prophecy concerning the two seeds and the enmity between them (see ch. Iii. Which may be regarded as still await ing its full completion in the final triumph of Christ and His Church over the enemies of man. Then follow the prophecies of Noah concerning his posterity, and the revelations given to Abraham and Sarah, to Hagar a'nd Ishmael; the patriarchal blessings of Isaac and Jacob, and their prophecies concerning the latter days. By Observing these predictions in order, we perceive the general design of the Book, which is not to give a history of the whole human race, but to trace the origin and growth of the nation which was chosen by God to be His own peculiar people: other nations are mentioned by reason Of their intercourse with the posterity of Israel and Abraham.
