Discovering the Divine Blueprint of the Gospel of the Kingdom Hidden in the Beginning
What if we have been reading the opening words of Scripture correctlyโbut seeing the story incompletely?
In this illustrated teaching booklet, Greg Witter invites readers to slow down at the doorway of Genesis and explore the themes that unfold throughout Scripture: creation, covenant, seed, first portion (firstfruits), headship, Kingdom, and the dwelling of Elohim among His people.
Across ten connected chapters, The Mystery of Reshit examines Bereshit, the opening word of the Hebrew text, and reshit, the term within it. Beginning with the enlarged Bet and its association with the house, the study develops a Paleo-Hebrew word picture and follows its thematic connections through the wider biblical story.
The guiding standard remains clear: The pictures illuminate. Scripture establishes. Letter pictures serve as teaching illustrations, not independent sources of doctrine or substitutes for the meaning of a passage in context.
Through the Four WitnessesโTorah, Prophets, Writings, and Apostolic Witnessesโthe booklet traces the movement from beginning to restoration. The seed anticipates the harvest. The first portion points toward fullness. Messiah is revealed as the risen Firstfruits, and the covenant household is brought into view.
