Here are some of the key things we looked at this week:
- The people forgot about God's judgement from the flood and continued to rebel against God. They stuck together and were trying to build a monument to their own pride despite God's command in Genesis 9:1 to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.
- They all spoke one language, and God said that unless he broke the nations apart from one another and changed their languages, they would be able to do anything. An analogy is that prisoners are kept in separate cells so that they cannot collaborate to cause trouble. Sinners are the same way!
- We can see the truth of this story through the evidence in our languages and how they developed. Here are some interesting resources:
- Study of Chinese Kanji (This website shows how you can see evidence that the Chinese descend from the descendants of Noah and originally believed and followed God.)
- List of the Nations based on the sons of Noah:
- A map of the nations after the split
- Alphabet tree showing the languages
