Genesis tells us a number of important things:

-How the Earth and the universe got here in the first place (Genesis 1:1)

-How life came to be on Earth (Genesis 1:11-12, 20-25), including humanity (Genesis 1:26-27)

-Mankind's original assignments given to them by Jehovah God (Genesis 1:28)

-How mankind ended up being imperfect (Genesis 3:1-5 & 19)

-What it would take to redeem mankind by means of a prophecy (Genesis 3:15)

-How and why the majority of life was destroyed in a worldwide Flood (Genesis 6:5-7)

-The root of where the variety of languages, cultures and even religions began. (Genesis 11:1-8)

-How the journeys and exploits of the forefather of the nation of Israel, a.k.a. Abram, who became "Abraham" began (Genesis 12:1-2)

-The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, showing once more that Jehovah can bring out destruction on selective individuals and save His people, as well as the actions He detests (Genesis 18:20; 19:5, 13, 24-25)

-Who the nation of Israel is named after/descended from (Genesis 32:24-28)

-How Jacob/Israel's family ended up in Egypt (Genesis 37:23-28; 39:1-4, 7, 10-20; 40:8-15, 21-23; 41:1-40; 42:1-3, 8-17; 45:4-5, 13, 17-20; 46:5-7)

All of these things highlight to the reader the unfolding of Jehovah's purpose-To eventually bring mankind back to perfection thanks to the ransom of Christ's life. (John 3:16)

(New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

The Bible says God was in existence before man:

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

and man was created in God's image.

Genesis 1:26,27 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

According to the first Book of the Bible which is Genesis 2:7, we can read the following. " And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living person.

Isaiah 64: 8 qualifies God as our Father and as our Potter, and adds that we are the work of His hands.

Genesis 1: 1 reads. " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Revelation 4: 11 reads. " You are worthy Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created."

So with these three expressions " Father, Potter, Creator we can understand who God really is.

The word 'adha.mah' is translated " ground," "soil," " dirt". In the Greek Scripture, ge denotes earth as arable land or soil. it is used to designate the material from which Adam was made, the earth, which contrasts with seas or water.. Read 1 Corinthians 15. 47.

In addition, substance that is found in the ground , such as iron, minerals and so much more is what is needed to be and stay healthy.

By the way the root of the word "human" is dust.

So to answer your question which is " Why God created man from dust? Well ! we can say like all designers, God chose what was needed to accomplish what He wanted to create, such as animals and humans. Read Genesis chapter 1.

God is not only our Father or Potter but first and foremost our Creator with great skills as a designer.

Joseph waited for many years for his dreams to be fulfilled. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he spent about 13 years in Egypt, enduring hardships and imprisonment before rising to power as the second-in-command to Pharaoh. His dreams of greatness, which he had as a young man, were ultimately realized when he was appointed to oversee Egypt during a time of famine. This journey from dream to fulfillment highlights themes of patience, perseverance, and divine timing.

The place where Jacob had a special experience, often referred to as "the face of God," is known as Peniel. In the Biblical account found in Genesis 32:30, Jacob wrestles with a divine being there and declares, "I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved." This encounter marks a pivotal moment in Jacob's life, leading to a transformation in his identity and faith. Peniel is located east of the Jordan River, near the Jabbok River.

The first loving action that could be found in the Old Testament is God's creation. When the earth became filled with violence , Jehovah told Noah to build an ark so that his family could be saved. Noah was also told to warn the people while building the ark that took 50 years.

So many had the opportunity to enter the ark and be saved. Read Genesis 6: 1-22.

Abraham who became the friend of God was blessed because he worshipped Jehovah God and was blessed in many ways, such as becoming a large nation. Read Genesis 11: 29-12: 9; Hebrew 11: 8; Galatians 3: 6.

The miracle at the Red Sea . Read Exodus 13: 21-15: 21; Nehemiah 9: 9-11.

The way that David defeated Goliath with Jehovah God's help and finally became King. Read 1 Samuel 16: 1-13; 17: 1-54.

When King David was in difficulty, he prayed to God. Read Psalm chapter 6.

So to answer your question, the Old Testament is full of stories where Jehovah God lovingly protected his faithfull ones.

Mizraim is a biblical term that refers to ancient Egypt, often used in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with the descendants of Ham, one of Noah's sons, and is sometimes interpreted as representing the Egyptian people or the land itself. In historical and cultural contexts, Mizraim reflects the rich history and significance of Egypt in ancient civilization. The name is still used in modern Hebrew to denote Egypt.

Mutapa Gatsi Rusere had two notable sons: Nyatsimba Mutota and Chisamwenda.

In 1400-1370 BC, the people of Canaan primarily engaged in agriculture, cultivating grains, olives, and vineyards, which formed the backbone of their economy. They lived in fortified cities and villages, often influenced by neighboring cultures due to trade and military interactions. Their society was polytheistic, worshiping a pantheon of gods, and religious practices were integral to daily life. Additionally, they were skilled artisans and traders, known for producing pottery, textiles, and metalwork.

The commandments serve as moral and ethical guidelines that help individuals distinguish right from wrong, fostering a sense of accountability and responsibility. They promote social harmony by encouraging respectful and just behavior towards others.

Overall, they contribute to the well-being of both individuals and communities.

Methuselah is a biblical figure known for his remarkable longevity, living 969 years according to the Hebrew Bible. His significance lies not just in his age, but also in his connection to the genealogical line leading to Noah. This lineage is pivotal in the context of the biblical narrative, as it sets the stage for the story of the Great Flood. Methuselah's long life has made him a symbol of endurance and the passage of time in religious and cultural discussions.

Satan is not the prince of the power of the air. It is foolishness to mention like that. It is giving a precious power to an unknown evil spirit. Your comments should not encourage the evil.

God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings and spirits. Spirits are separate elements. Human beings can make their own choices using their sixth sense. Freewill enables human beings to live any kind of life but if they hurt anyone they have to face the consequences. The same is the case with the spirits. Freewill enables them to possess any person and dominate them but if they force and hurt the person then they have to face the consequences. Humans’ lives depend on the character and intelligence of the possessed spirits. If the chosen spirits are good, their life will be good. Your activities, talks and thoughts determine what kind of spirits you will have for your life.

God is a mystery even to the spirits therefore certain spirits have become atheists. Among these atheists certain spirits have become evil. Among these evil, certain spirits took themselves the leadership and call themselves Satan.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, instincts, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits with you on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and Gods you believe. Only these spirits make you remember them in a certain situations. All of these spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A mind is a group/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just like a computer's mind. After the computer is completely destroyed you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A brain is a device used by the spirits to control the body and mind. (A senior spirit or a chief can control other spirits) A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

According to Genesis 1: 1 in the first book of the Bible, you can read the following. " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

The Bible does not say when God began to create the universe or how long this took. It simply states: " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

The Bible does not specify when " the beginning" occurred. However, the sequence of events recorded in Genesis places it before the six periods, or "days" of the creation of our planet Earth.

The opening passage of the Bible states two important truths. First, the "heavens and the earth," or the material universe, had a beginning. Second, they were created by God. Read Revelation 4: 11 in the last Book of the Bible.

Isaiah 40: 26 reads. " Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who brings out their army by number, He calls them all by name. Because of the vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power, Not one of them is missing.

Psalms 147: 4 reads: " He (God ) counts the number of the stars; He calls all of them by name". What is " the number of the stars"?That is not a simple question. Astronomers have estimated that there are over 100 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy alone. Some say there are far more stars. But ours is just one of many galaxies, and many of those swarm with even more stars.

How many galaxies are there? The estimates of astronomers have ranged into the hundreds of billions, even trillions. So far, it seems, man cannot even determine the number of galaxies. Yet Jehovah God knows the number. Moreover, he gives each star its own name, confirmed in Psalms 147: 4 and Psalms 19: 1 reads in these words. " The heavens are declaring the glory of God; The skies above proclaim the work of his hands".

In the book "Ruined" by Amy Tintera, Aurelia is 17 years old. She is a strong and determined character who faces significant challenges in a war-torn world. Her age plays a crucial role in her development and the choices she makes throughout the story.

The relationship between God and human beings is just like a relationship between a scientist and his robots. Human beings cannot survive for a long period on this earth. God had made like that. Death is a permanent sleep without a dream.

Human beings are ruled by spirits but humans must learn to control and rule the spirits. Spirits possess people according to the mental state of the human beings and keep them in the same state until they are rejected and replaced by another. This is an all time phenomena occurring in all humans. Human beings are always under the influence of spirits. Certain situations and circumstances cause the possession of certain type of spirits. Often thinking and talking about bad subjects or bad imaginations even for fun can take serious turns on one who think and talk. Often thinking and talking about good subjects with good imaginations can create positive effects in your life. Your favorable thoughts and beliefs can bring favorable spirits by your side. The more you think the more would be the possession of that spirit. All spirits (good and bad) have the possessing and dominating nature. Only because of this nature a drunkard dies as a drunkard and a scholar reaches a top position by studying more and more. They can take you to the extent of sacrifice or suicide.

All of your activities, talks and even thoughts determine what kind of spirits you will have for your life. Only these spirits are the reason for the good and bad happening in your life. These spirits determine your destiny from your daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Spirits are separate elements. A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and other people. These spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. Brain is a device used by your spirits to control your body. A mind is a combination/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just a computer's mind. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. Soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form and there is no afterlife. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

You must not leave your mind in its own way. If you do, the spirit will take full control of your mind, then controlling it is not so easy. First of all you must think and believe that it's not you. Then you must command that spirit both mentally and orally to go. Whenever you are possessed by that thought you must divert your mind at once towards some other subject and stay in it for a while and then continue your duty. This is a mental exercise. You may also bring at once an opposite feeling through your imagination. For example if the depression is about your future then you may think, imagine and believe that you are going to live a healthy, wealthy and happy life in future. You must continue this exercise for few days. While doing this exercise you are creating an opposing spirit, i.e., a positive force. Soon this new spirit gets stronger and eliminates the negative force. Within a few days you will be alright.

The story of the Great Flood in various cultures, including the Humitau narrative, typically depicts a divine judgment where a catastrophic flood is sent to cleanse the world of humanity's sins. In the Humitau version, it is believed that a hero, often tasked with preserving life, builds an ark to save select animals and humans. After the floodwaters recede, this figure emerges to restore the world, symbolizing rebirth and renewal. This narrative emphasizes themes of redemption, survival, and the cyclical nature of life.

Naomi's mother is not explicitly named in the Bible, but Naomi is a key figure in the Book of Ruth. She is the mother-in-law of Ruth and the grandmother of Obed, who is part of the lineage of King David. Naomi's story primarily focuses on her relationship with Ruth and her experiences during a time of famine in Bethlehem.

Yul Brynner was born on July 11, 1920, and "The Ten Commandments" was released in 1956. This means he was 36 years old at the time of the film's release. Brynner played the role of Pharaoh Ramses II in the classic biblical epic directed by Cecil B. DeMille.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in the mid-20th century, provided significant insights into the textual history of the Torah. They revealed that many of the texts were remarkably similar to the Masoretic Text, the basis for most modern Hebrew Bibles, indicating a high degree of textual consistency over time. However, they also contained variations that suggest the existence of different Jewish communities and interpretations of scripture during the Second Temple period. Overall, the scrolls underscore the dynamic and evolving nature of biblical texts in early Jewish history.

The first four of the Ten Commandments emphasize the importance of a monotheistic faith and the exclusive worship of God. They establish the foundational principle of having no other gods and prohibit the creation of idols, underscoring the relationship between God and His people. Additionally, they highlight the significance of honoring God's name and observing the Sabbath as a day of rest and spiritual reflection. Together, these commandments underscore loyalty, reverence, and the sanctity of time dedicated to God.

God appeared to King Solomon twice. The first appearance occurred in a dream at Gibeon, where God asked Solomon what he desired, leading to Solomon requesting wisdom. The second appearance took place after Solomon completed the temple, during which God affirmed His presence and made a covenant with Solomon regarding the temple and the nation of Israel.

"A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a clear reflection of the Romanticism period through its emphasis on individualism, emotional expression, and a deep appreciation for nature. The poem advocates for living life to the fullest and embracing personal experiences, hallmarks of Romantic thought. Additionally, its use of vivid imagery and lyrical quality showcases the Romantic focus on the beauty of human spirit and the pursuit of one's ideals. These elements collectively illustrate the poem's alignment with Romanticism.

Diodorus, often referred to as Diodorus Siculus, was a Greek historian from Sicily who lived during the 1st century BCE. He is best known for his work "Bibliotheca Historica," a comprehensive history of the world from mythical times to his own era, divided into 40 books, of which only a portion survives. His writings provide valuable insights into ancient cultures and events, including descriptions of the Mediterranean and the history of various peoples. Diodorus aimed to compile a universal history, drawing from various sources to create a narrative of human civilization.
