Bereshit Prophecy in Genesis 1:1 — Mike strongly dismisses as fabricated

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 8) Fixed and Reuploaded 00:33:35 – 00:34:38

Q from Enigma about the "Bereshit prophecy" in Genesis 1:1 regarding end times.

Mike explains that bereshit (בְּרֵאשִׁית) simply means "in the beginning" — it is the opening word of Genesis 1:1. He says anyone claiming it contains a hidden end-times prophecy is almost certainly fabricating it and using Hebrew to give the appearance of scholarly discovery. He places this in the context of a surge of false prophets and made-up online content in 2020.
