And We Rebelled

In Genesis 3, we see the perishing of God's Kingdom as sin enters the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Because of this all of creation is under the curse of sin and death, and there is no escape nor hope for mankind, unless God intervenes. In Genesis 3:15, God promises that He will.

As Genesis 4-11 unfold, we see mankind's efforts to establish his own kingdom, apart from God: mankind wants to be their own people, living in their own place, under their own rule, and enjoying their own glory.
