Gen 10-12/Matt 4

Gen 9:26 Remember Ham saw Noah naked/drunk and told his brothers; 'May Canaan [son of Ham] be the slave of Shem'.. Shem lineage of Abram (Abraham). Always like to point out Nimrod [part of the Ham clan] was a mighty warrior… heeh

A few notes from where I led Sunday School on this topic
11:3 building the tower of Babel… interesting read; trying to ‘make a name for themselves and not be scattered’. Significance of tower was to preserve their security and union rather than increase in numbers and ‘reflecting His Glory by creating humans in His image who subdue the whole Earth’.
Tower – a ziggurat; zig-yoor-at; square/rectangular stair-step structure
V5 ‘.. the Lord came down’, was that necessary (no…)
V7 ‘.. let US go down’
V8 ‘.. scattered all over the face of the earth’ – G’s original intentions before sin: Gen1:26-28 ‘... rule over the earth’, ‘… fill the earth subdue it’
To date, United nations recognizes 191 nations; 6,912 languages, and 11,200 people groups with distinct cultural identities
--> Question: why do we come to church? What are we preparing for…
Self, God, others?
This has been my motive to 'get into the Word' to be better prepaired as a witness... (more on this later).
