How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Welcome to Through the Bible.

I'm so glad that you're here for another great adventure in God's Word.

Now in this study, Dr. J. Vernon McGee is going to tell us about how Abraham entertained angels

without even knowing it. And we'll also see that the lush, well-watered plain where Lot lived was not all that he had hoped it would be.

I'm Steve Schwetz, and all hold the doors of the Bible

bus open while you climb aboard and find your seat. And while we get settled, let's listen to

Dr. McGee share some insights about marriage. I have a little bit of, I don't suppose you'd call it

a poem, but someone has refined the statement that Matthew Henry made concerning the creation of

Eve. And since we're talking now about Sarah, the wife of Abraham, why, I think it's proper

to read this at this particular time. Will you listen? Not from his head that she might rule

over him, not from his feet that she might trample on him, but from his side that she might be

equal to him, from under his arm that he might protect her, and from under his arm that he might protect her and from under his heart that he might

love her and that may i say is the true marriage relationship as given in the creation of eve and now

we see it exemplified in the life of Sarah.

As Dr. McGee has said before, all great truths of the Bible are relevant in Genesis.

And the more time that we spend in this book, the more that makes sense, doesn't it?

Before we pray for our study, I want to note that

the free notes and outlines that Dr. McGee will discuss in just a moment are available immediately

in our app or over at ttb.org. Just look for our digital book briefing the Bible, or call

1-865 Bible if you'd rather have it sent by mail. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for the light of your word,

and would you open the eyes of those who are in darkness
