I've changed the title several times. Now, I've landed on this one, "Location, location, location" I've heard this phrase countless times from TV and every time I've engaged a real estate agent. This age old axiom holds that the location of a property (a territory) is its most important attribute. It seems this saying maybe older than most real estate agents know; more important than most people can comprehend; and definitely a new thought for the first book of the bible.
I have heard from a few bible teachers that the first 7 words of the bible "contain" all the revelation to understand the entire Old and New Testaments. I personally do not know that to be true, but it certainly provokes my curiosity. I do personally know one teacher who has spent over a year studying those first words:
Bereshis 1:1 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
1 In the beginning Elohim created hashomayim (the heavens) and haaretz (the earth).
