BERESHITH

The Tree of Life

Bereshith (Genesis) is testimony from Yahuah Elohiym as recorded by the Prophet Moshe (Moses). Moshe was not present in the beginning or during the time of Abraham and the patriarchs but Yahuah was there. The details in this account are firsthand eyewitness testimonies from our Creator regarding events that occurred in the very beginning to the time of Moshe. These were not stories handed down through the generations. These accounts are actual events as witnessed by our Father in Heaven. His testimony in Bereshith describes the Way to the Tree of Life which allows one to live forever. It is a crucial element to help us find our Way back home.
