Before we begin, be sure to get your Bible -- if you haven’t done so already.
It is very important to look up and read each verse of scripture given in an-
swer to the questions. And why not write out these scriptures, just as the
kings of ancient Israel were instructed to write out YEHOVAH God’s
laws? (Deuteronomy 17:18-20.) This will help you understand and re-
member the vital truths you will be studying. Now let’s begin this important
subject.

LESSON 1

From Adam to Abraham

YEHOVAH God created the Adamic line physically perfect. Yet they were
but unfinished pieces of YEHOVAH’s workmanship. While they were im-
bued with an earnest of the holy spirit at the very beginning, the full spiritual
character of YEHOVAH God was yet to be built into Adam and Eve and all
those who would spring from them. And in the character-building process
those of the Adamic line must perform their own vital part.

Unfortunately, Adam and Eve rejected YEHOVAH God as Revealer of spir-
itual knowledge. In rejecting YEHOVAH they also rejected His government
-- the way of His law of love. They chose instead Satan’s "get" way of life --
the self-centered way of vanity, covetousness, envy, jealousy and competi-
tion leading to strife, violence, destruction, and rebellion against authority.

Consequently, YEHOVAH God shut the first Adamic humans and their de-
scendants off from a large measure of His holy spirit and spiritually re-
vealed truth. From then on, spiritual knowledge and salvation would now be
offered only to those relatively few of the Adamic line YEHOVAH God
would specially call. That is, until the Messiah, the second Adam, begins
his reign on earth over Israel and all the minds of those of Israel are
opened to YEHOVAH’s spiritual truth.

As the Adamic race began to multiply on the earth, all of Adam’s sons, ex-
cept one, followed in his Satan-inspired course of human nature. Prior to
Abraham, only three men are specifically mentioned in the Bible as follow-
ing YEHOVAH’s way of life.

1. Which of Adam’s sons did Yeshua the Messiah call a "righteous"
man? Matthew 23:35. Who are the other two men who "walked with God"
prior to Abraham? Genesis 5:22; 6:9.

2. From which son of Noah is Abram (who later was renamed Abraham by
