Genesis traces the first lines of God's plan for the birth of Yeshua. From the

of the lineage of Christ.
The entry of Yeshúa into humanity was planned before the beginning of the
times. Yahweh eased the punishment of the curse that resulted from the sin of Adam and Eve by

created in his image, but fallen, and God's response through the redeeming creation of
a chosen people, achieving all this through all kinds of circumstances (good and
bad), and despite all the faults on their part.
