The Beginning - (Dark Green)

This period starts with the world's creation and ends when Jacob (Israel) and his family move to Egypt to escape famine.

From the very beginning, we see that Jesus was present. After the fall of Adam and Eve, we begin to see the promise of the coming Savior.

We’ll learn about Noah’s Ark and how it points to Jesus. We’ll meet Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and learn about the promise that the whole world will eventually be blessed through Abraham’s Seed.

We will learn how Joseph, who is a “type” of Christ, saves all of Israel from destruction.
