Which came first ? You’ve heard the rhetorical question a thousand times over the years. I think the answer is more complex than it appears ! However it was answered for us many millennia ago by the recorder of the book of Genesis in the very first chapter. One of the secrets of the Bible as a literary work is a “colophon” the signature or mark of the author of a chapter, section or verses. It is never missing but one must learn to discern each writer’s grammatical mark of ownership. I am inclined to believe that we are the generation of the “feet of clay” spoken of in Daniel, chapter 2. My favorite part has to be the handwriting on the wall, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN; thrilling, TEKEL; PERES; if I were forced to choose, Daniel would be my favorite after Ecclesiastes ! I think ! But you can ask me again tomorrow.
Sincerely, Claire B.
