A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE WORD "FIRST": What, When, Where

By REV. GERALD F McPETERS

This book is a study on the word (First) throughout the book of Genesi.

This I believe will help bring the reader to a much greater understanding

of the entirety of God's word as I record every word written for the first

time, as well as everything that happens for the first time and the purpose

of it all. (What, When, Wh

REV. GERALD F McPETERS

As a young man, twenty one years of age, I was gloriously converted to the Lord Jesus Christ in a crusade of Oral Roberts in Providence, Rhode Island in 1965. Shortly after my conversion, I was baptised in the Holy Ghost, which left me with a burning desire to give my all to Christ. As I began to study God's word, I felt compelled to focus my study on prophecy. I am honored to say after many decades as an ordained minister I have had the opportunity of working in mission states throughout New England and assisting and establishing churches. After fifty years of dedicated service and research in the Bible on the book Revelation, I have felt inspired to share with others what has been revealed to me through many years of study. In conclusion, it is my prayer, should the Lord tarry his coming, that whoever reads this book shall be blessed by the contents therein. Therefore, this is my legacy, as I look forward to going home to be with my Lord and Savior.

About the Author

Once again, my love for God’s word compels me to share my thoughts in writing with others what God has put in my heart.

After 55 years in the ministry, fifteen of those years were spent in the New England States, although my place of birth is Warrenville S.C. I worked the mission states in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut in small churches and supporting others as well. A big part of my heart remains in New England. I was converted to Christ in an Oral Roberts Crusade in Providence, Rhode Island 1965, I was baptized in the mighty Holy Ghost soon after being converted, with the call of God, that I have never put a name or title to it, I have been labeled by many of my fellow ministers as being different. I accept that. As I grew older, my love for God’s word grew deeper and richer and more fulfilling, it is my purpose of living. I am a free and independent thinker, so I guess that makes me different. My joy is when I share his word with others. It is my prayer, that the reader of this book will be blessed as I have been.

Endorsement

I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce Reverend Gerald McPeters, and give my full support and endorsement for his important study on the Firsts found in Biblical record, the book of Genesis. Christians and Jews recognize the first book of Moses, Genesis as The Book of Beginnings, where God communicates to mankind His Holy Word. As Reverend Gerald McPeters will show, God will reveal to all the Firsts that are necessary to understand if we are to understand the very purpose of Christ’s Incarnation to provide our Redemption!

I have known Reverend Gerald McPeters for many years and appreciate that as he studies the Word of God, he is willing to sharpen and correct his own teachings and writings to align with God’s revealed word alone. I whole heartily recommend the writings of Reverend Gerald McPeters, as we labor together to tell the world the Good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Robert Lamphier, Th.D.

After much prayer, thought, and encouragement from my wife, Pamela, I have once again embarked on another book. A word study of the word first throughout the book of Genesis. A different perspective of the word, first, what, when, and, where.

Everything that has been created has a beginning and everything that has been created has an ending. Only God has no beginning or ending. God is the Creator, we are the created. Here we are, but where did we come from: Job 38:1-41

³⁸ Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

² Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

³ Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

⁴ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

⁵ Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

⁶ Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

⁷ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁸ Or who shut up
