Cosmology can be defined as a science that shows the development and origin of the
universe. In Genesis 2: 4-25, the Bible states that God created the Heaven and the Earth. The
Bible states that every plant that was present on the earth grew since the Lord wanted it to. The
Lord also watered the whole earth.
The lord also formed man from the dust and brew air into his mouth to make him alive.
He also ensured that he formed a garden on the eastward in Eden where he provided man with
everything he needed. In Genesis 9: 1-17, God blesses Noah and his sons and ask them to be
fruitful and multiply to fill the earth. This was after they had been saved by God in the ark after
the floods.
In Genesis 22: 1-19, The Bible speaks about Abraham at his test to kill his sin by God.
God sends a message to Abraham to multiply so that his descendants may be as many as the sand
in the sea shore. This came to pass since Abraham got so many descendants.
The historical period was full of secrets. In the bible, in the book of 1st Samuel 10, Saul
becomes the King. This is contrary to what many people think at this particular time. The main
issue is that people thought that Saul was a sinner.
The social economic issue in this case is when Naboth, a very poor man was put to death
by Jazebel, who was the wife to the king at that time; Ahab. The big issue is that the king thought
he had power over the poor man Naboth.
In 2 Kings 25, Jerusalem is attacked. This was when Zedekiah rebelled his king at this
time named Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia. The social economic issues that affected them at this
particular time was increased poverty and famine. For example, the Bible states that the famine
had become very severe hence leaving people with nothing to eat. There was also reduced
security provided by the soldiers since they got lost away.
In the book of Isaiah 11, one of the major themes that are outplayed are Peace. This is
because its heading is “The Peaceful Kingdom”. Another theme is leadership. This is because the
Bible states that line of David had been like a cut tree. However, there are still hopes that there
will be a king in the future from his descendants. The social economic issues affecting the people
at this particular time was that the people were poor. Other themes present included People’s
Rights, and Justice.
In Jeremiah 22, Jeremiah’s message reaches the Royal House of Judah, showing the
theme of leadership. In Daniel 7 talks about the seven beasts, around the throne, hence depicting
leadership
The themes that are outlined by the Old and the New Testament are themes of suffering
and rejection. Isaiah in his scripture describes the suffering and rejection that Jesus will go
through from men, in the book of Mark Jesus says that the son of man must suffer and be set to
nothing.
The themes that are outlined by the book of Jeremiah and Matthew are themes of death
and destruction. Jeremiah talks about destruction of Babylon and the death that will arise from
the destruction. Jesus in the book of Matthew tells his disciples that there will be wars against
countries that will lead to death of many people.
The theme outlined is the theme of betrayal. John uses the scripture of Daniel to describe
betrayal of Jesus Judas who was one of his disciples.
