The Biblical Prophecies Start With The First Hebrew Word in Genesis, B’re’shiyth! – Not Verse 3:15
Isaiah 46:10 – Yahweh declares “At the beginning I make known the end from the beginning [H7225 re’shiyth], and from ancient times the things that are not yet done.”

Words and Prophecies Found in Just the First Hebrew Word of the Torah
The first word of the Hebrew Bible is: B’re’shiyth. It is pronounced Breh-sheet. B’re’shiyth can be [and traditionally is] translated “in the beginning”. The amazing thing about this word in Hebrew is when the letter Bet is used first it can mean either “In” or “For” or “By”. Re’shiyth means first, foremost, or firstfruit. Therefore, it is just as accurate to translate the first word: “for the firstfruit”, or “by the firstfruit!”

The first letter, the Bet, means House. The enlarged Bet means this is the story of how Elohim (God) is going to build his house.

The second letter, the Resh means head. To start a house (family), the head of the household, a man, takes a bride. From the very beginning it has been Elohim’s plan to build his house by taking a bride and bringing forth his children.

The first two letters combined, Bet and Resh, means Head of Household in Paleo Hebrew. Yeshua is the head of the house of God – Ephesians 1:22. [See also Psalm 8:6; Matthew 28:18; 1 Corinthians 15:27; and Hebrews 2:8].

The first three letters, the Bet Resh Aleph form the word “Bara” which means “created” – a type of creation that is limited to only God’s ability.

Within the first word “In the beginning” we have the phrase “the Head of the Household Created”, the phrase “By and for the Head of Household”, and also the phrase “By and for the firstfruit”! Prophecy right from the very first word in the Bible, not three chapters later!

John 1:1-3 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” This is also stated in Genesis 1:3; Psalm 33:6; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16; and Hebrews 1:2.

Conclusions
Isaiah 46:9-10 – “I am Elohim, and there is none like me. At the beginning I make known the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done; and I say that my plan will hold, I will do everything I please to do”.

From the very beginning it has been Elohim’s plan to prophesy what will come to pass. He did not wait until the third chapter of the Bible to begin revealing those prophecies.

From the very first word, B’ere’shiyt, the Biblical scriptures confirm that:
• Prophecy begins in the first verse of Genesis.
• The first word in the Bible, B’re’shiyth is filled with prophecy.
• You do not have to wait until Genesis 3:15 to find the first prophecy.
