In this video, we unravel the true meaning of Genesis 1, one of the most misunderstood chapters of the Bible. Far from being a literal stepbystep guide to the world's creation, Genesis 1 is actually an ancient cosmological story, reflecting how the Israelites saw the universe—chaotic, disordered, and in need of purpose. By comparing it to other creation myths like the Babylonian Enuma Elish, we uncover the powerful message that Genesis conveys: one God, supreme over chaos, calmly brings order and purpose, without the need for struggle or cosmic battles.

Delving deeper, we explore how the Israelites, living in Babylonian exile, crafted Genesis 1 as a radical response to the myths of their captors, showing that their God didn’t need to fight to create the world—He simply spoke it into existence. This poetic narrative isn’t about material creation, but about assigning function and meaning to the cosmos. If you're ready for a fresh perspective on the Bible, this video is for you!
