So whenever tonight and next 34 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,800 Wednesday night is over, we'll be switching in the month of 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,400 June to connect groups. All right, now connect groups 36 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,160 here through the summer is going to be different again. 37 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,640 Yeah, it's going to be male, female, connect groups, male, 38 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:33,280 female. And my wife has got some 39 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,280 material to teach and discuss that's going to hit on some of 40 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,680 the different women of the Bible, if I'm not mistaken in 41 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,200 that. And then I'm going to be also 42 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,240 teaching and we'll have discussion as well along the 43 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,360 lines of a. Foolproof man. 44 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,720 All right. And so that's some of the stuff 45 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160 that's going to be coming and it's going to highlight some of 46 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,360 the different areas of man. For instance, a man in his 47 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,640 faith, a man in his function, a man in his future will be 4 48 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,800 lessons under each of those headings, all right? 49 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,920 And so it just be us men, all right? 50 00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:07,840 And there's nothing wrong with that. 51 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,960 I think that's important sometimes just kind of let's 52 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:17,200 sequester ourselves to the mountains of male, female, all 53 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,960 right.

Are going to be. 56 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,080 With brother Alex and sister Grace, a man of those ages, 57 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,040 he'll have the mix back, still male and female of his ages. 58 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,200 A man. But out here we're going to go. 59 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080 We're going to go.

This is a genealogy of sorts, 64 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,560 could call it that, a genealogy of sorts. 65 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,680 A man that will look at tonight, this is where we're going to end 66 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,480 for the spring in the book of Genesis, will pick back up 67 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,720 sometime in the fall in Chapter 11. 68 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,760 We'll pick back up sometime in the fall. 69 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:11,400 And so if you'll just bear with me here through the names, all 70 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,400 right, I'm pronouncing to the best of my ability some of the 71 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,279 pronunciations.

Tonight, Tonight, verse #1 78 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,800 Chapter 10. Now these are the generations of 79 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,040 the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth. 80 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,480 And the them were sons born after the flood, the sons of 81 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,320 Japheth Gomer and Magog and Mediah and Jay Van and Tubal and 82 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:54,320 Meshach Tyrus, the sons of Gomer, Ashkenaz, Rip Hath and 83 00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:01,120 Toe and Toe tu Garma, and the sons of Javam and Elisha and 84 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,400 Tarshus Kittum and Dodedin.

That's what chapter 10 is 89 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,080 greatly, greatly by scholars considered the table of nations. 90 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,040 This is where all the nations of the world has come from. 91 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,720 This is the foundation of them all. 92 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,120 Amen.

Maybe have a greater Lord 100 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,720 appreciation, Lord, for you and what you have done from creation 101 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,880 forward. God will not fail to thank you 102 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,560 and praise you in the name of Jesus Christ, that I pray Amen, 103 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,800 or by say Amen, you may be seated. 104 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,560 I'll continue in verse six. As you were seated. 105 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:02,000 The sons of Ham, Kush and Mizar, Mizraim and Foote and Canaan, 106 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,800 and the sons of Kush, Sheba and Havilah and Sabta and Rahima and 107 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,200 Sabtaka, and the sons of Rahma, Sheba and Didam and Kush, begat 108 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,400 Nimrod. And he began to be a mighty one 109 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,000 of the earth. He was a mighty hunter. 110 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,160 Before the Lord. Wherefore it is said, even as 111 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,280 Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord, I thought about having 112 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,480 the Bible app just read all this, but it reads Lord. 113 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,480 Than I do. And the beginning of this 114 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:33,640 Kingdom was Babel and Erech, and the Cod and Calne, and in in the 115 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,960 land of Shinar, out of that the land went forth Asher and 116 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,520 builded in Nineveh in the city of Rijo both and Kalah and Resin 117 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,120 between Nineveh and Kalah the same is a great city. 118 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,760 And Misraim begat Ludin and Ananim, and Lee habim. 119 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,400 This is the Hebrew in pronunciations, Naftuhim and 120 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:03,400 Parashim and Kaz Luhim, out of whom Cain the Philistine, and 121 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,840 Kaftorin and Canaan begats Sidon his first born, and hath, and 122 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:12,480 the Jebusites, and the Amrite and Jurgesh site, and the 123 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,880 Highvite, and the Archite, and the Sun Knight, and the 124 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,280 Arvadite, and the Zamorite, and the Hamathite. 125 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,680 Afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 126 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,640 And the border of the Canaanites were was from Sidon as thou 127 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,720 comest to Girar, and to Gaza as thou goest unto Sodom, and 128 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,280 Gomorrah, and Admah and Zebulene, even unto Leisha. 129 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their 130 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,400 tongue, in their countries and in their nations. 131 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,400 Unto Shem also the father of all the children of Eber, the 132 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,920 brother of Japheth, the elderly. Even to him were children born 133 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,560 the children of Shem, Elam and Asher, and Arfaxad, and Lud, and 134 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Abram, and the children of Abram, Us, and Who? 135 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,240 And Gethar and Mash and Arfaxad begat Salah, and Salah begat 136 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,120 Eber. And the Eber were born two sons. 137 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,480 The name of the one was Peleg. For in the days, for in his days 138 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,360 was the earth divided. And his brother's name is 139 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,840 Joctan. And Joctan begat Alamodad, and 140 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:26,520 she left, And Hazar Mavath, and Jarrah, and Hadoram, and Uzo, 141 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,080 and Dickla, and Obal, and Emamel, and Sheba, and Ophir, 142 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,840 and Havilah, and Joe Bob, all these were the sons of Johtan. 143 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,799 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest into Safar, 144 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,600 a mount of the East. These are the sons of Shem, 145 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,200 after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, 146 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,520 after their nations. These are the families of the 147 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,080 sons of Noah after their generations in their nations. 148 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,800 By these were the nations divided in the earth after the 149 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600 flood. Put a check box by Genesis 150 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:02,560 chapter #10 that you read it tonight, All right, Amen. 151 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,120 And so this is the table of nations. 152 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,280 And we already seen in Genesis 5 when we did our last little 153 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,480 genealogy thing, that genealogies often time bridge 154 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,560 maybe two events. It's an event that's bridging 155 00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:18,720 you to another event or from a person to another person and 156 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040 they connect them and they connect maybe the cast of 157 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,200 characters that are associated with that event along the 158 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680 timeline. And so genealogies usually 159 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,320 served in this this literary purpose they. 160 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,480 They're going to transfers to another event. 161 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,000 We have been for some time several weeks in the event. 162 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,520 In Scripture of the flood and all that took place there. 163 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,360 And so this is in part helping transfer us a little bit to the 164 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,840 Tower of Babel that's in Genesis chapter #11 but it also 165 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,800 enlights, enlightens us of family connections that we would 166 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,840 not otherwise have if it wasn't for this pedigree or this family 167 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,200 tree, right? It would be a whole lot more 168 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,120 difficult to see the connections of families just whenever they 169 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,400 said this one was a son of somebody and left it at that and 170 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,480 then you had to find somewhere else. 171 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,560 So it kind of brings it all down and so. 172 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,200 With with genealogies, they're they're really two major camps 173 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,600 or lists and that is 1A genealogy may trace just a, a, a 174 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,480 lineage and then another one. There may be other genealogies 175 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,520 that are trying to trace or chart alliances even between 176 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,360 people. And I was getting ready to say 177 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,880 people that are not related, but in essence all people are 178 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,440 related. To a degree, but nonetheless, 179 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,320 you understand what I'm saying. And so they may cover a very 180 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,920 linear line where they're just kind of following one line, or 181 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,040 they may be segmented where they were following more than one 182 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,360 line of one individual throughout the Scripture in 183 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,440 Genesis chapter #10 though. And will you put up my visual of 184 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,680 Genesis chapter #10 Brother Aiden, if you don't mind it just 185 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,440 that's really the breakdown of Genesis chapter #10. 186 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,560 The little family tree and how it all goes, if you just follow 187 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,560 the lines there it is in visual form for you. 188 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,520 If you were more and you're like, I knew. 189 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,160 I knew I hated chapter 10. That's it. 190 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,960 I knew it. Now it's visually. 191 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,880 Confirmed for me. Amen. 192 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,320 But just leave that up there for a while if you will. 193 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,840 Genesis chapter #10 really details individual people, as we 194 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,240 will see, and you'll find them in that list that correspond to 195 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,720 the Tower of Babel that whole episode. 196 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,720 But along just with people that that correspond with the Tower 197 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,800 of Babel, there are other people that are listed in this 198 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,680 genealogy tree for that matter. Even some of these names are 199 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,720 really groups of people are like tribes because that's where you 200 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,360 get all those aims that we went through the in, in, in, in 201 00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,600 That's a group of people. That's that's notably a tribe of 202 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160 people, but no doubt usually individual. 203 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,520 For instance, you have, you know, Zebulun was one of the 204 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,360 sons of Jacob, but then you had the tribe of Zebulun, which 205 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,200 represented the people. So you have some of those Inns 206 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,920 in there that that denote people. 207 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,960 You have cities that are listed in here. 208 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,160 And again, it kind of goes hand in hand because usually the 209 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,720 founder of the city would name it after himself. 210 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,720 And so you see, you know, then this, this, this hierarchy then 211 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,160 of not just individual names, but tribes, perhaps if we could 212 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,880 even call them nations, and even peoples that are represented 213 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,120 there. And all of these really is what 214 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,240 forms the foundation of the human world, even the human 215 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,560 world as we know it today. We know the branches of this 216 00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:24,440 tree continue to go out and that the the divisions are many and 217 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,280 now cover cover the whole surface of our world. 218 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,760 But this is the very foundation of all of that. 219 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,440 And so while this genealogy or table of nations as it's also 220 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,800 called, maybe a bridge between the flood and and and. 221 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,920 The the, the the. Tower of Babel, in essence, it 222 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,960 really kind of overlays the Tower of Babel. 223 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,680 The reason why I say that because it's in here, it's 224 00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,800 speaking about all these different groupings in about 3 225 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,080 different times. It talks about and these are the 226 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,200 divisions of the people in the nations and the languages of the 227 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,880 people. About 3 different verses say 228 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,920 that in there with the division of the people took place during, 229 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,120 or if you will, after the Tower of Babel. 230 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,480 That's where the Bible says that he came down and he confound the 231 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,120 languages, and there was the scattering, the disbursement of 232 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,960 the people. And so whenever you read in 233 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,840 Genesis chapter #5 that disbursement and that 234 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,320 scattering, really it's overlay. And it's not like there's 235 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,760 chapter 10 chronologically and then Chapter 11 happens. 236 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,160 It really overlays the host scenario with the Tower of 237 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,360 Babel. Amen. 238 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,000 That takes place in Genesis 11. That we'll get to many, many, 239 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,520 many months from now. And so this though, is more than 240 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,280 just a standard genealogy. If there is such a thing as a 241 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,560 standard genealogy, this is more than a standard genealogy. 242 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,200 In reality, this is even an Atlas now. 243 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,840 This is even an Atlas. This is a this is a history book 244 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,000 of really the movement of people and the movement of nations that 245 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,920 started it here in the beginning after the flood with with the 246 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,760 Suns and the offspring of Noah. Doctor William F Albright. 247 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,320 He's not a conservative. He's universally acknowledged as 248 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,640 the world's leading authority on archaeology of the Near East. 249 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,360 He's not a believer, all right. He doesn't believe necessarily 250 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,240 in the infallibility of Scripture. 251 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,840 Yet concerning chapter 10 of Genesis, the table nations, he 252 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,800 says this, it stands absolutely alone in ancient literature 253 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,680 without a remote parallel, even among the Greeks, where we find 254 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,120 the closest approach to a distribution of peoples and 255 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,560 genealogical framework. He said the table of nations 256 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,360 remains an astonishing accurate document. 257 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,040 This writer, it's not as though I needed somebody to tell me 258 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,280 that, but it's interesting. Some of that has no belief in 259 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,560 Scripture or even the infallibility of Scripture would 260 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,600 say this is a art, this is an accurate, this is an accurate 261 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,720 document. Amen. 262 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,240 It's recorded in your Bibles and so chapter #10 here, the table 263 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,800 of nations, it affirms basically this. 264 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,960 One of the things that it affirms is that God is indeed a 265 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,960 God of all nations and people. Amen. 266 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,280 I know that seems very basic, but that really confirms and 267 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,640 affirms that, that we don't have per SE and understand what I'm 268 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,360 saying, We don't have per SE an Israelite God or an American 269 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,720 God, but we have a God. He is the God of the world. 270 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,840 He's the world's God. And with that being said, we're 271 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,160 not talking about really different races of people. 272 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,040 There's only one race, the human race. 273 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,640 I was talking with my daughter just last week. 274 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,440 We was going, I don't know where we like re regurgitate some of 275 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Genesis after we get home on Wednesday nights. 276 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,720 And we were talking and I don't know if it was that Wednesday. 277 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,160 We were talking about different things, the different races of 278 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,160 people and skin colors, you know, because usually that's 279 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,200 what people go toward mostly, you know, but you know, you have 280 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,360 the same pigmentation in your bodies as a black person does, 281 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,960 the exact same pigmentation. It's just one pigment is 282 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,880 dominant in their skin in a different one, dominant in 283 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,960 yours. But you have the same makeup in 284 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,880 you. You're no different, just what 285 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,880 expresses itself in you is different than what expresses in 286 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,880 them. So be careful before you have a 287 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,760 wagon lip or lip about someone of a different color, because 288 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,800 what's in them is in you. It's just not expressing itself 289 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,560 well. I'm feeling something come up my 290 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,360 spine. Amen. 291 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,720 It's the human race. The apostle Paul addressed this 292 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,440 to those at Athens on Mars Hill whenever he talked in one, 293 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,160 declaring to them the unknown God of the altar that they had 294 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,720 built. And he began to relate to them 295 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,720 something he knew he wasn't going to be able to begin in 296 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,119 Scripture. So he began at creation because 297 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,000 that is something that's common to all mankind. 298 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,359 We're all a part of it. And so he started there and 299 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,920 begin to speak of some things until he got to verse #26 in 300 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,560 Acts 17. And Paul spoke to them at them, 301 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,280 saying this. And hath Speaking of God hath 302 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:26,560 made of one blood. Everybody say one blood, one 303 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:32,200 blood, all nations of men. I understand we have 8 positive 304 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:38,080 and B and AB and O and all that, but there is not Asian blood and 305 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,840 Japanese blood and black blood and yellow blood and Caucasian 306 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,120 blood. We're all of one blood. 307 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,920 He says have made one blood. All nations of men for to dwell 308 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,680 on all the face of the earth. Look at this and have determined 309 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:04,280 the times before appointed. Look at this and the bounds of 310 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,800 their habitation. He said God has determined the 311 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,440 bounds of the habitation of all of these that are of one blood. 312 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,880 He has determined them, their bounds, their locality, if you 313 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,520 will, even in and among the earth. 314 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,200 And soon we see this verse, verses such as verse 19 in our 315 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,040 texts, verses such as verse 19 in our texts, where it speaks 316 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,960 about the border of the Canaanites and it begins to list 317 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,960 some of these cities as landmarks to trace out the 318 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,240 border of the then known world of the Canaanites. 319 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,480 It is, if you will, the bounds of the habitation of the 320 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,400 Canaanites that were being prescribed all the way. 321 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,720 Back. In Genesis chapter #10 and then 322 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,080 we have these from the three sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and 323 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,440 Japheth. We have their disbursement that 324 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,400 that predominately takes place after Babel into different 325 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,640 regions and area. Can you put up my map of the 326 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,840 table of nations, if you will? This is a map of the table of 327 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,000 nations of and, and, and there's some predominance in certain 328 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,880 regions, but there are sprinklings of some of them. 329 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,880 In some of those areas that you see green, there's some yellow, 330 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,480 and some of the places where you see red, there is yellow. 331 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,320 This is the branching out of the descendants of Shem, Ham, and 332 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,920 Jep of areas and regions that their peoples covered after 333 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,280 Babel. As a matter of fact, whenever we 334 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,600 look in Genesis chapter #10 there are 70 names of people or 335 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,600 cities or tribes and nations that are represented in Genesis 336 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,160 chapter #10 again, some of them are individual names. 337 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,600 Some of them are tribal names like the Katharine. 338 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,200 And there are also then some cities that are listed as well. 339 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,600 There are even Gentile because the Japheth is predominantly 340 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,360 Gentile nations, But there's even Gentile endings on some of 341 00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:02,200 those names whenever you read the Canaanites. 342 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,920 And you read all about the hiveites and this height and 343 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,720 that height and that I, the ITE is a designation that that's a 344 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,640 Gentile nation. If it ends in ITE, that's a 345 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,560 Gentile nation where if you have the I am ending, that is 346 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:21,040 predominantly Hebrew or Jewish, Amen, location and such. 347 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,240 And so whenever you look at Japheth, if you were to read 348 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,040 back through Japheth and you were to read his descendants, 349 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,080 there are about 14 of his descendants that's listed in 350 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,840 Genesis 10, which predominantly settled in all the regions of 351 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,040 Europe. All right. 352 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,480 And then you have Ham. There's about 30 different names 353 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,880 that are mentioned there in chapter 10, which and I say say 354 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,680 predominantly, but predominantly in the areas of Africa and Egypt 355 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,800 and Ethiopia. And there's other splatterings 356 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,520 of them, as you can see there in, in in the the Arabian 357 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,800 Peninsula. But then Shim has about 26 names 358 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,640 in Genesis chapter #10 that makes the full 70 names or 359 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,760 nations that are represented. And most of them are covering 360 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,440 throughout Asia. All right, all right. 361 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,880 So those are just generalities to say those those individual 362 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,760 places of Europe and Africa and Asia, because there are again 363 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,720 other overlaps in their splatterings of them here, there 364 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,480 and young. But the 70, the 70 nations table 365 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,320 of nations, 70 nations, 70 peoples, 70 names, if you will, 366 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,240 that come from the sons of Noah that's represented here in 367 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:33,480 Scripture appears to be God's biblical purpose arriving at 368 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,960 this 70 representation for all the nations of the world. 369 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,440 I say that because of taking Scripture with Scripture in 370 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,640 Deuteronomy chapter 32 and verse #8 this is what is spoken. 371 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:50,960 The Bible says when the most high divided to the nation's 372 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480 their inheritance. He's not just talking about the 373 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,720 nation of Israel, He's talking about the nations of the world 374 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,880 When the most high divided to the nation's their inheritance, 375 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,240 when he separated the sons of Adam. 376 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,680 All right, so whenever everything's destroyed except 377 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,000 knowing his family, then no doubt those 3 boars are 378 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,440 representation of the sons of Adam because that's all there 379 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,600 was left of the line. And so the sons of Noah are then 380 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,680 in essence the sons of Adam. The Bible says in there in 381 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,680 Deuteronomy, he set the bounds of the people. 382 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,360 Watch this phrase now according to the number of the children of 383 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:34,240 Israel. He said whenever, whenever he 384 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,000 divided the nations, then he set their bounds according to the 385 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,760 number that you'll know Israel at the time in which this 386 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,560 happened in Genesis 10, Israel was non existent, but God, it 387 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,000 works on a plane more than just the present. 388 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,680 He's past, present, future God. He set the bounds then according 389 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,120 to the number of the children of Israel. 390 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,040 Someone say Amen. We will read later in Scripture 391 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:13,000 that we know one of the sons of of Jacob or Jacob himself was 392 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,080 known as Israel. He wrestled with God when he 393 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,400 went over the brook Jabbok and the Angel asked him, what is 394 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,840 your name? He says my name is Jacob. 395 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,800 He says your name is no longer going to be called Jacob. 396 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,560 You're going to be called Israel because you have prevailed with 397 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240 God and with man. Your name is Israel. 398 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:35,320 Whenever Jacob and his family all finally go to Egypt, all 399 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:41,320 right, these are the children of Israel, the children of Jacob 400 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,840 that are going down into Egypt. And years later, after their 401 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,760 bondage in Egypt, the Bible says they come forth and they come, 402 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,640 they go in as a family. They go in as the children of 403 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,160 Israel, but they come forth as the nation of Israel. 404 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,720 The Bible says in Exodus one and verse one. 405 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,800 Now these are the names of the children of Israel which came 406 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,160 into Egypt. Every man in his household came 407 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,440 with Jacob, verse five. And all the souls that came out 408 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,480 of the loins of Jacob, which was Israel, were 70 souls, for 409 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,280 Joseph was in Egypt already. Interesting. 410 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,760 God said in Deuteronomy, I'll divide them and I'll set their 411 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,000 bounds according to the number of the children of Israel. 412 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,560 The number of children of Israel that went into bondage was 70, 413 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,720 just like 70 nations that were divided at the very beginning. 414 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,200 And then later in the New Testament we read concerning 415 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,400 Jesus Christ just interesting thing that whenever he sent his 416 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,600 disciples out, the Bible says he sent them out two by two, but he 417 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:56,120 sent them out 70 disciples. He sent out into every city and 418 00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,360 place. The Bible says that he would go 419 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:05,960 luten verse one after these things the Lord appointed of the 420 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,200 70 also, and sent them out two and two before his faith into 421 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,440 every city and place, whether himself. 422 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,400 Would. Come now that is a very literal 423 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,040 thing, him sending them out and going to these places that that 424 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,720 Jesus Christ would come. But there's also an aspect 425 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,320 really there laced in there of the Great Commission. 426 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,680 What do you mean it because whenever Jesus was going to be 427 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,800 leaving this world, he was going to ascend his words was in Mark 428 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,720 1615. He said unto them to go ye into 429 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,160 anybody help me here right now, all the world. 430 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,440 I preached the gospel to every creature. 431 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:56,680 Initially in Genesis 10, the 70 represent the nations what will 432 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:02,320 become the nations of the world. In Exodus One, the 70 was the 433 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:09,600 number of the children of Israel who developed into a nation that 434 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,400 God told Abraham and Genesis 12 that we'll get to. 435 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,640 He says Abraham, I'm going to make a great nation of you. 436 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,760 I'm going to bless you. I will curse them that curse you 437 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,680 in you and that which flows from you, your descendants, the 438 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,560 Jewish people, this nation of Israel. 439 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:38,960 Shall all the families in the earth be blessed. 70 nations for 440 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,560 the whole world. 70 children of Israel that turn into a nation 441 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,680 that is a blessing to all families of the world. 442 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,080 Jesus 70 sending 70 disciples, if you will, laced with a 443 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,240 Commission, if you will honestly, that even we are to go 444 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,080 into the whole world. And there's this preaching of 445 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,160 the gospel to every creature. And so thus and so, so we don't 446 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,440 have any, we don't have any recorded words. 447 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,520 I know I've said this last time I'm. 448 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,480 Getting tired of telling you, you telling us what we haven't. 449 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,320 Heard you know who said didn't say something? 450 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,280 We have no recorded words of Ham, Shim or Jacob. 451 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,640 We know that Ham said something evidently to Jacob and Shim 452 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,240 about his father's nakedness, but we have no recorded word. 453 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,160 We have no certain definite word that he spoke. 454 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:31,480 And so their rose really in this whole Genesis story unfolds with 455 00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:34,400 possibly them helping their dad build the ark. 456 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,960 That's an assumption that that was them that did so and them 457 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:45,680 then parenting or fathering more children there there roles in 458 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,800 society, maybe perhaps build an ark and father children. 459 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,800 That's what gave them the highlight. 460 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,920 And so there if you look at Genesis 10, it's really broken 461 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,760 down in three sections. It focuses upon Shem, excuse me, 462 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,520 it starts with Japheth and his tree, and then it starts with a 463 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,680 ham in history, and then Shem in history. 464 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,200 And Shem even continues on in Genesis chapter #11 as well. 465 00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:13,680 But if, if we were to just go line by line and just for the 466 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,680 ease your mind, we're not doing that tonight. 467 00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:20,440 But if we were to go line by line and try to give the 468 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,720 possibilities of who this person became and what that name 469 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,520 represented to become, there's so much uncertainty and so many 470 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,800 different options of the could be because it's difficult to say 471 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,960 that this modern Nation Today was this old nation then. 472 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,720 It's difficult to draw direct lines. 473 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,640 It's probably a hodgepodge in some respects. 474 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,560 It's hard to draw a Direct Line because nations evolve. 475 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,720 Nations change locations. I know you can't believe that 476 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,000 you know where we are today, but in the development and the 477 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,680 transitionary stage to where we are today, nations have changed 478 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,400 locations, all right, Throughout time, their languages have been 479 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,240 modified. That's part and parcel why so 480 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,480 many these plays have so many different dialects been 481 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,760 modified? There has been an altering of 482 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,360 their racial and cultural composition because other 483 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,320 nations intermarry with other nations. 484 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,040 So it's hard to say this over here equals this right here. 485 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,200 For that matter, consider America. 486 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:44,360 What is American? Is it solely Great Britain? 487 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,880 Colonists. Far from it. 488 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,800 America is the melting pot of the world and still deemed, if 489 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,520 you're born here, American. And so it's hard to get in all 490 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,240 of those type of things. And sometimes even even in 491 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,960 genealogies, whenever it says that such and such is a son of 492 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,160 so and so, sometimes they state that and they're identifying 493 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,680 this person with this really what is a moral class or a a 494 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,640 type of ethical standard of person. 495 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,240 Case in point is this you read in the Scripture about the sons 496 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,400 of Belial. Well, sons of Belial wasn't even 497 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,880 always literally sons of the literal Belial. 498 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,560 Sometimes it was just denoting that Belial means reckless and 499 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,760 lawless and that they were people that had some 500 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,680 recklessness and lawlessness to them. 501 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,120 They were sons of Belial because they had the traits and 502 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:42,240 characteristics. Of a particular people group. 503 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,280 Is everybody doing OK? Hey, folks, when I get done 504 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,160 tonight, you won't have to worry about me for three months right 505 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,160 here on Wednesdays. All right. 506 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:58,000 As late as the 1960s, from my study, modern linguists still 507 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000 use terminology from the sons of Noah. 508 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,520 What I mean is this still as late as the 1960s there were 509 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:10,040 three dominant language groups in the world that everything 510 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,920 else fell under under these three umbrellas. 511 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,000 The Semitic, which is Shem Shematic Semitic. 512 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,160 The hammock. Can you see the parallel? 513 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,040 And the Japhic languages, all languages fell under these three 514 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,800 headings still as early as the 1960s. 515 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,920 The Semitic languages were those of the Middle East, primarily 516 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,120 the Hebrew and the Arabic and Aramaic. 517 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,320 And then there's the Hematic language group that included all 518 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:49,080 the non Semitic people and the Afro Asiatic languages. 519 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,720 The Japhetic language group was the Indo European family 520 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,400 languages. And so even today you talk about 521 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,240 you hear on television, you're watching the news and everything 522 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,960 that's going on with Israel and Jerusalem and you hear all this 523 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:08,720 talk about anti symptom symptomism, anti-Semitism, which 524 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,400 is is hatred and prejudice toward the Jews. 525 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,840 Follow us now Abraham, who is the father of the Jews according 526 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,160 to Scripture, is and was the father of the Jews came his line 527 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,160 came from Shem. Again, the word Semitic comes 528 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,320 from Shem. They just leave the H out Shem. 529 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,680 We would say Shemetic, but it's Semitic. 530 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,200 He comes from Sam. Abraham comes from Shem. 531 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,600 I told you this earlier. Shem means in the Hebrew name, 532 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,920 it often is referring or referring to and alluding to 533 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:54,440 what the Hebrews more commonly say, Hashim, the name, the name, 534 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,240 that line of Shem. Again, why it's important for 535 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,760 the genealogies because from Genesis all the way to Christ, 536 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,320 we trace the genealogy of Jesus. He has his genealogies in there 537 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,480 so that we can trace them for all the way from from Seth the 538 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,920 the the son of Adam and Eve, Amen through Shem Amen, the son 539 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,960 of Noah. We trace it all the way to Jesus 540 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,920 Christ. All right comes from Shem. 541 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:27,280 So Jews were people of the name. People who are anti-Semitic are 542 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:33,200 against people of the name. They are against, so to speak, 543 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,640 people of Shem. All right. 544 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:42,920 Verse five says that by thee Speaking of the sons of Japheth 545 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,320 by these the Isles of the Gentiles, they were divided in 546 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,440 their land by the sons of Japheth. 547 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,760 So we understand that he covers a lot of, a lot of Europe and a 548 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,640 lot of. West of of Israel, up north and 549 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,360 West, and even even E as well up in the European areas. 550 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,240 But it also says the Isles of the Gentiles are divided in 551 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,639 their land by these, by the sons of Japheth. 552 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,080 I said all this to say this Great Britain, which is in 553 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:19,320 Europe, is an island nation. The 13 colonists that came to 554 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,679 the United States and the 13 colonies were from Great 555 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:27,560 Britain. What I'm saying is, if we 556 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,159 weren't as much as a melting pot today, the early settlers that 557 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,880 would have come from Great Britain were by and large of the 558 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:40,159 family of Japheth Gentiles. Again, I realize we're a melting 559 00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:41,719 pot today. You're gonna have to go home and 560 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,280 trace your family tree and get on ancestry.org and do your due 561 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,159 diligence, you know, to find. But nonetheless, that's just 562 00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:50,880 kind of interesting. In verse six, it speaks about 563 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,520 how there is born Misraim. I'm just letting you know that 564 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,800 Misraim is Egypt. That's the transliteration of 565 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,640 the Hebrew word and that is Egypt going on to verse #8 of 566 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,480 Genesis chapter #10 and Kush begat Nimrod. 567 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,400 Anybody remember ever hearing about Nimrod? 568 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,240 He began to he began to be a mighty one in the earth was a 569 00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:14,160 mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore said even Nimrod, the 570 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,880 mighty hunter before the Lord, and look, verse 10 says in the 571 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,600 beginning of his Kingdom was Babel and a wreck, and Akkad and 572 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,720 Colne in the land of Shinar, and how the land went for a shirt 573 00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:30,520 and he builded Nineveh. All right, this is the first 574 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,680 time in verse #10 this is the first time that the word Kingdom 575 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,520 is mentioned in Scripture as far as the Kingdom on earth is 576 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,000 mentioned in Scripture. And it was the Kingdom of 577 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,560 Nimrod. And this Kingdom, of course, is 578 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,960 established after the flood. Verse 10, it says the beginning 579 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,760 of his or Nimrod's Kingdom was Babel. 580 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,440 That's what we know to become in the next chapter. 581 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,200 Babel becomes Babylon. Babel becomes Babylon. 582 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,640 That becomes one of the places that Judah the two tribes are. 583 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,200 Exiled for 70. Years Babylon is what you even 584 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,480 read of in the Book of Revelation, Speaking of when we 585 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,720 start dabbling that this Kingdom doesn't just have a literal at 586 00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:14,640 that time literal location, but it has a spirit about it as 587 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,160 well. Just as in the book of Daniel 588 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,240 that there are, you know, these, these are these Princess of 589 00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:26,800 cities, the Prince of Persia being a spiritual power over 590 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,480 Persia. We're introduced in here to 591 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,400 Nimrod, who is the builder of the Kingdom of Babel that we 592 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,320 know to become Babylon, which has a spiritual connotation of a 593 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,080 Babylon that we find all the way in the Book of Revelation that's 594 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,680 still being dealt with today. That started here in Genesis 595 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,120 chapter #10 and it's he's repeatedly called a mighty one. 596 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,200 He was the son of Kush, which was the son of Ham, who was the 597 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,880 one who looked on his father's nakedness. 598 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,440 The name Nimrod means to rebel, to be rebellious, a rebel. 599 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,120 So here he is, a earthly king that is no doubt then in 600 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:09,000 opposition to the king of kings to rebel, rebellion. 601 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,960 He's a mighty one. He's a hunter. 602 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,880 I did a lot of, I did a lot of studying yesterday. 603 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,040 Probably about 12 hours of studying yesterday, I'd kid you. 604 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,960 No, I was still studying at 9:00 last night. 605 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,280 And there are a lot of ancient Assyrian tablets found in large 606 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,960 quantities that mention Nimrod, actual tablets and the Assyrians 607 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,840 that that mention Nimrod, and they confirm his title of being 608 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,760 a mighty hunter. And they explained that it's not 609 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,840 so much that he was a hunter as in going to go get a bear, going 610 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,920 to go get a deer, but he was a hunter, a warrior of men. 611 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,560 And perhaps this is how he established his Kingdom and 612 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,320 kingdoms, if you will, in these cities and areas. 613 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,840 Now here's what we got to go back to. 614 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,480 No one wants to go here, but I'm gone. 615 00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:55,360 He's a mighty man. Hebrew word Gabor, exact same 616 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,040 word that described in the Filum or the Giants of Genesis chapter 617 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:05,000 #6 that we talked about with the sons of men and the daughters of 618 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,880 Shem and the intermingling, exact same word Gabor concerning 619 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,000 their might. And so one pause, and some even 620 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000 do pause and question is Nimrod bringing back what they did 621 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,520 before the flood? Because if you remember the one 622 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:27,480 rendition of these what would seem like angelic beings, sons 623 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,680 of God, which is OFT times referring to angels, Remember we 624 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:37,120 said as a spirit, it has to have a body in order to function. 625 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,160 You know, below, really. I mean, it's disembodied. 626 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,440 We talked about how maybe these fallen angels embodied then 627 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,400 people that had relations then with some and gave birth to 628 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:54,480 children. All right, here is Nimrod in 629 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,480 Babylonian literature. He's associated with NI and 630 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,920 Erda, the Assyrian God, interestingly, of hunting and 631 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,560 warfare. And so as we spoke in Genesis 632 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,720 chapter number, six of these fallen angels embody in people 633 00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:13,720 and then having relations. What if such a type of spirit 634 00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:17,000 inhabited Nimrod because he is the rebel? 635 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,920 By the way. And that which he creates a 636 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,840 Babylon carries a spirit with it that is often associated with 637 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,240 Satan, your adversary. Because think for a moment, what 638 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:32,400 did Satan influence not just in the garden, but in heaven? 639 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,080 I will be like the Most High. I will ascend. 640 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,560 There was a uplifting of pride and rebellion, if you will, in 641 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,360 him that caused his fall and he gave influence to Adam and Eve 642 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,200 and their rebellion and going against what God said. 643 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:52,480 And we find in Nimrod will even more so in the next chapter a 644 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,840 rebellion that is flourishing as well. 645 00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,800 What if Nimrod had some type of oppression? 646 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,120 Possession by some spirit of rebellion? 647 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,000 That was propagating and doing and helping in all these things. 648 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,400 Because Nimrod's association with the Babylonian God Ninerda 649 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,520 makes us understand this whole dynamic when we understand the 650 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,560 cultural Pagan nations, because the culture of Pagan nations was 651 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,560 after this, they deified their founder. 652 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,240 In other words, if a man came along and he founded a city, 653 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,360 those that came under the umbrella of that city would then 654 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,280 deify the one who found the city. 655 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,600 They would make him a God. Are you hearing me? 656 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,400 That man was so revered to them, so important to them, they would 657 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,040 make them their God. And so here's Nimrod setting up 658 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,400 Babel, Babylon in these different cities. 659 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,200 Who's not then to say? Then the people came and 660 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,680 gathered under him and deified him. 661 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,960 Evidently Assyria to a degree of inerta, a man of the God of 662 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,440 hunting and warfare, which totally parallels Nimrod, 663 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,600 deified their founder. Amen. 664 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:11,120 And so to to be Babylonian then would just to be adopting the 665 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,000 founder of that location as your God. 666 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,120 All right. And that switches though that 667 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,880 that's totally upside down though, compared to the people 668 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:27,360 of God, because whenever Abraham shows up as, as the father of 669 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,360 the Jews, he's the patriarch. We have Abraham, we have Isaac, 670 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,520 we have Jacob, right? We're always talking about 671 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,720 Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. But more importantly, we're 672 00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:40,640 always talking about the God of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob, 673 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,360 wherever these men settle and wherever they make their 674 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,160 residence. And many of them didn't settle, 675 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,880 but if they ever had a piece of land to put their foot on, to 676 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,560 say that they had some type of contribution to that, no one 677 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,280 ever deified them in the godly line as a God. 678 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,160 They always kept the perspective where it needed to be. 679 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,360 You might be the father of our people in the patriarch, but we 680 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:09,960 serve the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, Amen. 681 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,720 And so it's totally different, Amen, between these different 682 00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:16,360 types of settings and nations. And for that matter, later in 683 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:23,360 Genesis 14 that we'll get to, Abraham is going to go down to 684 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,760 Sodom and Gomorrah. His nephew Lord has been taken 685 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,920 there. He's been living there because 686 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,880 he chose so. But there were 5 kings that came 687 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,040 down to fight. They stole Lot and some other 688 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,600 people away. Abraham gets, I think, about 318 689 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,360 people together. He goes and does war. 690 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,440 One of the kings that he does war against is the king of 691 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,680 Shinar, which is the land where Babylon and these other cities 692 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,400 dwell. And so he's absolutely in 693 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:55,280 opposition, Amen, against this, this king of Shinar, Amen. 694 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,560 And everything that has taken place here in the Scripture, 695 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,080 Amen. The son of Shem is opposing all 696 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,840 of this development here in the Scriptures. 697 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,760 And when you look a little further, is everybody doing OK? 698 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,520 Amen. Both Kala, which is another 699 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:18,800 city, and Nineveh, both of these places, they both also carry a 700 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:25,280 name, a name of Nimrod. Kala was also known as Nimrod. 701 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:31,320 Nineveh was also known as Nenes. These are just other names for 702 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,320 Nimrod. Again, indicating that he's the 703 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,880 founder of all of these. For that matter, when you read 704 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:43,080 in verse #11 that out of the land went forth Assure, Assure 705 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:48,080 is not a different person. Assure is the Assyrian name for 706 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,720 Nimrod. What's that mean? 707 00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:55,120 Well, we might have people today called Rick, Ricky, or Ricardo. 708 00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:57,960 You go to the Mexican, they call him Ricardo. 709 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,920 You go to another people group, that name Richard is gonna sound 710 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:10,920 differently, but it's gonna be referring to the same one in the 711 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:15,000 Assyrians. Nimrod was Assure to the 712 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,000 Babylonians. Nimrod was Nimrod according to 713 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,320 where are you from? He left then from there and he, 714 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,240 he established these other places that are written of 715 00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,440 Scripture. And we'll talk more about Nimrod 716 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,560 in Chapter 11 months and months from now. 717 00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:31,440 Look at verse #14 we're going, all right, we're going to get 718 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,280 done. Glory, Amen. 719 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,480 Hallelujah. It's it just, this is just like 720 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,120 a shot. It just goes sting a little bit 721 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:49,600 at first and verse #14 it tells us that the Philistine come out 722 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:54,200 of Kashi Luhim. It's telling us where the 723 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,840 Philistine are the Philistines. All those years of David 724 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,560 fighting against the Philistines and Samson fighting against the 725 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,360 Philistines, and this one fighting against the 726 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,440 Philistines. And there's other places in 727 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,800 Scripture that it tells us that even there are some Philistines 728 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,440 from the city of Cataphor, which we have in here in verse #14 the 729 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,360 Catephorim. You look in Amos and Jeremiah 730 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,160 for that, that the Philistines were also in among them. 731 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,320 These are descendants of Ham. All right, descendants of Ham. 732 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,960 Why is this important? Because this is a descendant of 733 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,200 Ham, the One. But Noah prophesied and said, 734 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,760 you shall be the servant of Jacob, and you shall be the 735 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,760 servant of Shem. And among them are the 736 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,880 Philistines. There's that constant war 737 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,920 between these two because there's a rub that started all 738 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,760 the way back with Noah and his sons and him seeing his father. 739 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:52,080 As a matter of fact, just talking about modern day. 740 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:57,560 All right. Modern day, most modern, most 741 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:03,800 modern Palestinians claim to be descendants of Ham. 742 00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,400 Are you listening to me? Most modern day Palestinians 743 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:13,960 claim to be descendants of Ham. They they they claim that, but 744 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:19,640 in reality they are Arabs. About 100 years or so ago they 745 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:25,080 came over into the Middle East area close seeking work and 746 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,560 jobs. And so Arabs really are from the 747 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:35,400 line of Shem, all right, but they identified as Philistines 748 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:40,120 or Palestinians because that is who was notably through the 749 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,000 scripture, Israel's enemy. So that's weird. 750 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:49,000 Well, you can come a Palestinian or a Philistine by converting to 751 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:55,400 one and identifying with them. That's people can become Jews 752 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,640 today by converting. You can become a lot of 753 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,840 different things through conversion and through 754 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,400 identification with a place. But in order for them to do 755 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,200 that, sister Sheila, you know what they had to do? 756 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,640 They had to give up their excellent line of being a part 757 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:21,600 of Shem and their cinematic God Yahweh, and they didn't had to 758 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:28,800 adopt Allah. So in reality, a lot, I'm not 759 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,040 going to say all, but a lot of the struggle that's still been 760 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,680 going on between some Palestinians and Jews. 761 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,040 A good number of those Palestinians are those that 762 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,800 converted from the line of Shem who flipped on their own. 763 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:51,920 Look at verses 15 through 18. Here's all of the all of the 764 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,840 Ites. They're descendants of Ham, all 765 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,640 of these Ites. And when you read these folks, 766 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:02,080 look in Canaan, that is the actual one who was cursed from 767 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,600 Noah begatside and his first born hath. 768 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,800 And the Jebusites, have you ever heard them other places besides 769 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,040 here? Yeah, Jebusites are those that 770 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,280 were in Jerusalem whenever Jerusalem were first overtaken. 771 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,280 Jebus is what they called it. The Jebusites were the ones that 772 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,840 were there. Amorite. 773 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,320 You ever heard that anywhere else? 774 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,640 Jergoshite Hibite folks, these are, these are ites that you 775 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,680 hear throughout wilderness journeys throughout in going 776 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,240 into the land of promise. All of these are, and these are 777 00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:36,200 the ones that become the servants to Shem. 778 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,600 Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants become servants to 779 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,960 Shem, just as Noah prophesied and we spoke about last week. 780 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,360 And so then finally in verse 21, the concentration shifts. 781 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,960 We went from Jacob to him. It switches then to Shem. 782 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,560 All right. And it's, it's made known right 783 00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,280 up front in verse #21 I mean, it just gets a few words out unto 784 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,280 Shem. Also the father of all the 785 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,520 children of Eber. It goes straight there. 786 00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:09,520 I mean, we're going to get to Eber in just a little bit, verse 787 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,600 24. But it's like, hold on, we can't 788 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:12,720 wait. We got to talk about it right 789 00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:15,560 now. The father of all the children 790 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,840 of Eber. You'll have two sons of verse 791 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,760 25, the, the Peleg and the Joktan, right? 792 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,040 And then it'll stop right there. But Eber is important to Shem's 793 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:34,600 lying because it is through Eber that Abraham will appear through 794 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,360 his son Peleg. You can throw up my Shem line 795 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,120 there. We'll look at this more probably 796 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,360 in Genesis 11. But Shem, you see Eber there. 797 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,760 Then it keeps going down Peleg all the way down to Abraham, 798 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,000 where you get Isaac and Esau and all of these different tribes. 799 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,200 Then that will come apart because of Eber, because of 800 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,120 Eber. And so that's the reason he want 801 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,920 to make the connection. He's the, he is absolutely this, 802 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,920 this, this father of all the children of Eber. 803 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:12,640 They're making the connection. Not only that, Eber is the root 804 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:21,480 of the word Hebrew, rightfully so, because he's necessary for 805 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,160 there to be a Abraham, for there to be a Hebrew people. 806 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,200 Amen. And so it's this link that word 807 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,960 Hebrew actually means from the other side indicated of the 808 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,920 river. What did they cross to get into 809 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:41,040 Canaan, that nation of people, the Jordan. 810 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:51,480 Eber is the same generation in Shim's line as far as from Shim 811 00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:58,520 as Nimrod is in Ham's line. So you come down from Shem and 812 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,280 you saw where Eber is. That same placement is where 813 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:08,120 Nimrod is in Ham's line. What that means is is that Eber 814 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:13,480 probably then lived through the Tower of Babel episode that took 815 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:18,280 place and this gives them meaning and importance. 816 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:23,800 Why his son would be named Peleg in verse 25? 817 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:29,600 Because the Bible says, for in his day was the earth divided. 818 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,120 Peleg even means his name means division. 819 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,200 It alludes to the fact that in the days of Peleg and his birth 820 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,920 and the time of his life is when the outfall of Babel, of the 821 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,520 separation, of the scattering of the nations in the tongues of 822 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,480 the people happened and took place. 823 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,360 The dividing of the people. Everybody doing OK, staying with 824 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,720 me. You're all right, I'm done. 825 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,400 And if I just talked a little quicker I could have been right 826 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:03,320 under red. So what does this do for us, 827 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,480 right? One guy even said, man, don't 828 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,720 ever preach Genesis chapter #10 it has no application. 829 00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:12,160 Well, it has to have something or he wouldn't put it in there. 830 00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:17,520 All Scripture is God breathed and it's all profitable for 831 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,920 doctrine, repute, proof, New Testament tells us. 832 00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:26,040 But all these genial this, these genealogies and the accounts, if 833 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:31,880 nothing else, what they should help us appreciate is the broad 834 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:38,760 narrative and span of God's redemptive plan for all nations. 835 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,800 We concentrate a lot in the Bible on the Hebrew nation, in 836 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,480 the nation of Israel, and then we concentrate on the Gentiles 837 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,080 when we get to the New Testament. 838 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,800 But this should really encompass a good appreciation for the 839 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,880 redemptive plan for all nations. Again, the 70 right Old 840 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,880 Testament and with Exodus and even in the New Testament, until 841 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:05,480 the whole world knows, you know, should be our our mantra, Amen, 842 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:10,520 here in the earth. And it should also, it should 843 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:17,760 also give us a, a sense of unity between whatever group you're a 844 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:24,360 part of and the other diversities of our world in a, 845 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,480 in a, in a time in which people are making a bunch of qualms and 846 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:35,440 we've had riots in recent years over the diversity of ethnicity 847 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,080 in nations and peoples and stuff. 848 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,560 It should bring us back together understanding. 849 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,680 Hey, you're my brother, you're my sister. 850 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,840 You created in the image of God, huh? 851 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,800 And largely then, God's ultimate mission, again, not just for 852 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,520 Jewish people, but for the world. 853 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,000 Do you understand the scope? We get the scope narrow 854 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,320 sometimes, huh? This isn't redemption for 855 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,600 apostolics. This is redemption for the 856 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,600 world. This isn't redemption for North 857 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,600 America. This is redemption for the 858 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,800 world. This isn't redemption for people 859 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:22,600 just like me. This is redemption for the 860 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:27,080 world. I know as you read stories in 861 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,640 scripture, you see them all as you are, because that's the way 862 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,880 our minds work, by and large. You hear a story, you assume 863 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,960 it's somebody like you. Well, there's somebody else out 864 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,920 there reading the story, assuming it's someone like them. 865 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,560 Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in the sight. 866 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:53,720 Jesus loves the children of the and he does. 867 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,440 And so before we raise a hand in thinking we have some type of 868 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:07,040 superior stance in this life more than another human of some 869 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:11,400 other nation or skin color, slap yourself in the face and 870 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,360 remember. What flows through them flows 871 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:24,520 through you. And he died for us all. 872 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:26,880 Let's bow our heads here tonight. 873 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,040 Father, I love you, God. I thank you, Lord, for your 874 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,400 word, for Scripture says it is forever settled in heaven. 875 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,760 God, let that settled word become settled in our hearts and 876 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,360 in our minds. Lord, hear this evening. 877 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,320 Help us to leave here, Lord, with a deep respect God for 878 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,440 mankind, God, and for the vast mission, Lord of the redemption 879 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,200 of the world God. You came to save sinners, Lord, 880 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:54,480 and we all were born into that very type of context of being 881 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,520 sinners. God, we need a Savior. 882 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,600 Whoever we are, wherever we are, whatever language we. 883 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,160 Speak or however we may be, however we may look, I pray, O 884 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,920 God, help us Lord, to do our purpose in that world. 885 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,520 Help us to be a church that goes into all the world. 886 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,240 And preaches this gospel to every creature until the whole 887 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,120 world knows about you. In the lovely name of Jesus 888 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,680 Christ that I pray, Amen. Amen. 889 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,400 God bless you. Sunday, one service in the AM. 890 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,320 Bishop will be here. All right, Brother Zach. 891 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,400 Next Wednesday, he'll be right here. 892 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:30,480 Amen. God bless you. 893 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,200 If you have any type of emergencies or things like that, 894 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,800 call Bishop McGee. My family will be leaving 895 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,600 tomorrow. We'll be gone for about 10 days. 896 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,960 So call Bishop McGee in the evenings. 897 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,000 You may also be able to delve over to Doctor Mason, but I 898 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,480 wouldn't bother him during the day. 899 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,440 Probably won't get him anyway. So if you're dying, don't call 900 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:49,880 him. Call Bishop. 901 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,200 Amen. God bless you in Jesus name. 902 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,400 Thank you for listening. If you would like more 903 00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,600 information about our services and activities, you can find us 904 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:05,440 on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with the username FACMC. 905 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,840 Again, that's FACMC. Thank you and have a blessed 906 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:10,080 day.
