The Holy Bible begins with Genesis and ends with Revelation (see also Bible Reading Plan). What is described in the book of Revelation is however merely the beginning of the eternity that awaits those who choose to accept God's offer of salvation (it is "the end" for all who do evil). Many physical things found at the beginning of Genesis are a deliberate foreshadow of spiritual things that will begin, or be fulfilled to a greater extent, in the time described in Revelation. In that sense, both Genesis and Revelation are "in the beginning" books.
