Answer key

  1. Six. Creation, Fall, Israel, Christ, Church, New Creation. Six movements, one story. (Genesis 1:1)
  2. The seed of the woman. God promises that the woman's seed will crush the serpent's head. The rescue is announced in the same chapter as the ruin. (Genesis 3:15)
  3. All families of the earth would be blessed. God's promise to Abraham was never only for Abraham's family. The blessing was always headed for the whole world. (Genesis 12:3)
  4. He became flesh. John says the Word became flesh and lived among us. The promise arrives in a person, not an idea. (John 1:14)
  5. Jesus. Jesus says it of himself and his own building work: "I will build My church." The Church is Christ's project, not ours. (Matthew 16:18)
  6. Behold, I make all things new. The One on the throne names the ending himself. The new creation is God's work from first to last. (Revelation 21:5)
