Parashat Bereshit - head of or beginning
The word bereshit can mean "in the beginning" or "at the start" or "at the head of [all things]". The term rosh ('head') is embedded in the word as its shoresh root. In Jewish tradition, the word can refer to either the first weekly Torah portion (parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading (called 'parashat Bereshit') or to the first book of the Torah called 'Sefer Bereshit'.
The ancient Greek translation of the Torah (i.e., the Septuagint) called the book "bereshit" - "Genesis" ("birth", "origin") instead of using the translation of the first Hebrew word for the book's title. The term "Genesis" was used in the subsequent Latin and English translations of the book.
The Hebrew word, Beerasheet, usually translated as "Genesis" can have different English spellings. Beresheet, beerasheet, berasheet, bereshit or beeresheet,
are just a few ways in which it is sometimes spelled. Beerasheet (Genesis) is the new birth in the spirituality of the Africa
Edenic world language of Hebrew and produces a new consciousness.
Beerasheet, the name of the first book of the Tahnock (Bible) is often translated as "Genesis." According
to Edenic Hebraic thought, beerasheet means "the birth of a new consciousness of (new knowledge) in the mind" of people. Let's apply
this to what Yeshua told Nicodemus.
Given the fever-pitched controversies about evolution, Adam and Eve, and scientific evidence for the Flood, the average person might feel intimidated by the book of Genesis. But behind the heady debates is a terrific story-one that anyone can understand, and one that has gripped people for ages. If you are not a Bible scholar but want to be able to read Genesis and understand its big picture, this brief, witty book is the guide you've been waiting for. Genesis for Normal People: A Guide to the Most Controversial, Misunderstood, and Abused Book of the Bible (Second Edition w/ Study Guide) (The Bible for Normal People)
Clear summaries and thought-provoking questions provide direction for personal reflection and group discussion. Peter Enns, a Biblical Studies professor, and Jared Byas, an Old Testament professor, summarize the book's key themes and help us see Genesis as an ancient story, one with continued relevance for human experience today. Genesis for Normal People illuminates the characters that fill the book of Genesis, causing us to resonate with their choices and struggles even as we marvel at their distant world. And that's what you'll find here-not scientific proof texts or simple moral tales, but a distant world made available, and a story that is often strange, sometimes dangerous, and always filled with rich possibilities.

UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLICAL CALENDAR
The Hebrew language is the original language of scripture. It is holistically
prophetic, even in its everyday usage, in that it paints prophetic pictures, and reveals prophetic patterns. Each of the months of the
Hebraic calendar, which is the calendar of scripture, has its own unique redemptive revelation. They do not follow the order of the Roman
calendar of our western culture. So, when we are reading scripture, and a numeric number is given to a particular month, and we try to
make it fit the order of the Roman calendar, we will not be in alignment and synchronization with the timing of God. This is why it is
essential to be knowledgeable about and align with the Calendar of God. Realigning with God’s timing will allow you to understand His
heart, His desires, His instruction and His assignments. Aligning yourself with God’s calendar will unlock revelation beyond your wildest
imagination and take you on a journey to spiritual freedom that you will never truly experience otherwise. God is waiting to meet you on
a different plane, He’s inviting you to walk with Him in a different dimension of life. It's time to investigate and embrace Our Father's
ordained times and seasons.
