Hey, it's Jeff Kenley along with Todd Hampson.

We're here for another Prophecy Pros podcast with you here.

And we're so excited for this podcast and for what God is doing through it, really throughout the world.

We're in over 130 countries and well over a million downloads and top 1% of podcasts in America.

So, hello, God is at work here.

And thank you so much to Harvest House publishers for sponsoring the podcast and for doing all the post-production and making sure all that takes place.

We're just very grateful.

Okay, so Todd, today we're talking about the book of Genesis and the book of Revelation.

We believe in a plain, literal, grammatical, historical, interpretive method of the Bible. We don't think the Bible is written in metaphors or in puzzles or some sort of code, hidden code that's in there somewhere that only certain people can see. No, God wrote the Bible so that we could understand the Bible. And it's okay to say, not only I believe certain things,

but to go even further and say, this is what God says, because the Bible is very clear on so many

things. And we believe it's clear on the beginning of creation. So Todd and I, just at the outset,

we want you to know we believe in a literal six-day

creation, not because we just want to believe it, but because that's what the text bears out.

And so with that as a beginning, let's start, Todd, by looking at some things in Genesis,
