Comparisons Between Genesis and Revelation

[Major]

Have you sat down and considered the "parallels" between these two books written thousands of years apart?

Allow me to give you this as an example............

In Genesis 1:4 we see the separation of light and darkness.
In Revelation 21:25 there is NO night, only day.

In Genesis 1:10 we see the separation of land and sea.
In Revelation 21:1 there is no more sea.

Anyone like to sit and think of any more "parallels" that would apply and that you can think of?????

Dear Major ,
These come to mind:

Genesis, the book detailing the beginning.
Revelation, the book of the end.

Genesis: documents Satan’s first rebellion.
Revelation: tells of Satan’s finale rebellion.

When we just sit and think about it, it is amazing to me how they parallel each other.

Genesis 2:10 -a river flows from the Garden of Eden
Revelation 22:1 -a river flows from God’s throne.

Genesis 2:9 -the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden
Revelation 22:2 -the Tree of Life throughout the city.

Genesis 2:12 -God and precious stones in the land
Revelation 21:19 speaks of gold and precious stones throughout.

Genesis 3:8 -God walks in the garden, among His creation
Revelation 21:3 -God will dwell amongst His people.

To me, this is just more proof that only ONE person wrote the Bible!

If I recall, The Thompson Chain Reference Bible, (or The Scofield Bible) had a nice set of comparisons located between the OT and NT.
What were they?
I don't recall lol.

I think that The Thompson Chain Bible was the 1st if not one of the 1st to use Study Guides and references.

More.............

Genesis 3:17 -the ground is cursed because of man’s sin
Revelation 22:3 -there will be no more curse of the ground in the New Earth

Genesis 3:17-19 -sin results in pain and death being introduced to creation
Revelation 21:1-4 -there is no more pain or death in the New Heavens and New Earth.

Genesis 3:24 -Mankind is banished from the garden, and cherub guards the entrance
Revelation 21:9 -angels actively invite into the city

In Genesis 3:15 we are given the first Gospel promise of the Redeemer who will crush the head of the serpent.

Jesus is that one who is promised. While Adam broke the law given to him and brought death to the world.
Jesus kept the whole law and defeated death.

Adam disobeyed and ate of the tree God told him not to bringing death.
Jesus obeyed and died on a tree bringing us life. As stated in 1 Corinthians 15:22, “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.”
