Creation, god, Genesis, Bible, Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, life of Saul, Book of Samuel
In the first part of Genesis, the origins and creation of life and Earth are explained. In the beginning, God created the heaven the earth, and there was nothing on the earth but water. On the first day, God said "Let there be light", and at this point God created night and day. After this, on the second day, God created a vault through the middle of the waters, and the area above this he called "Heaven". Then on the third day, God created vegetation on the Earth and filled it with trees and seed bearing fruits. On the fourth day, God made the Sun and the Moon, which are referred to as two great lights. The sun would govern the day while the Moon would govern the night. On the fifth day, God brought living creatures to the earth such as birds and fish, and he encouraged them to "Be fruitful and multiply". On the sixth day, god created every living creature known that would walk the earth, such as cattle, and "creeping things of all kinds". God then went on to make Man "In the image of God", and he placed him on the earth as the master of all creatures and encouraged him to eat from the vegetation of the earth. On the last day, the seventh day, God rested from all his work because it was now completed and it was good. God also blessed this seventh day and made it a holy day.
[...] Right before David and Goliath battle, Saul says to David and Yahweh be with you feeling very empowered at that moment and certain that God is on his side. This is one the signs that God shows to Saul proving to him that he is satisfied with this leadership and wants him to be the ruler of the Israeli people, however God's attitude changes quickly when Saul does not properly carry out his mission. After this moment, all of God's interventions have negative affects on Saul and make it impossible for him to continue as an effective leader. [...]

[...] It involves meeting a group of prophets, having a stranger offer him bread, amongst many others. At this point, Samuel tells Saul that this these signs will eventually lead to a state of ecstasy and “when these signs have occurred, act as occasion serves, for God is with you”. Saul seems to be prepared for this and he follows Samuel's directions and goes to find God. Later in the story, before David fights the terrible Goliath, God encourages Saul and proves to him that Saul is powerful. [...]
[...] In the Book of Samuel, one of the first interventions occurs when God speaks to Samuel and informs him of his plan to destroy the family of Eli. God speaks to Samuel in the form of a prophecy and informs him of his decision to punish Eli and “Condemn his family for ever” for allowing his sons to curse God and not correcting them. God is deeply offended by the actions of Eli and his family and he uses his powers to inform Samuel of this. [...]
[...] On the last day, the seventh day, God rested from all his work because it was now completed and it was good. God also blessed this seventh day and made it a holy day. When God, who apparently has existed at all times before the earth's creation, created all of these things, he would check to make sure that he was satisfied with what he had been creating.
