  to

  guide
• 0:27
  you
• 0:27
  through
• 0:27
  scripture
• 0:28
  this
• 0:28
  year.
• 0:28
  In
• 0:29
  the
• 0:29
  last
• 0:29
  episode,
• 0:30
  we
• 0:30
  talked
• 0:30
  about
• 0:30
  how
• 0:30
  the
• 0:31
  depravity
• 0:31
  of
• 0:31
  the
• 0:32
  world
• 0:32
  was
• 0:32
  so
• 0:33
  severe
• 0:33
  that
• 0:34
  God
• 0:34
  actually
• 0:34
  started
• 0:35
  again
• 0:35
  with
• 0:36
  just
• 0:36
  Noah's
• 0:36
  family.
• 0:37
  When
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  look
• 0:37
  forward,
• 0:38
  we
• 0:38
  see
• 0:38
  that
• 0:39
  the
• 0:39
  arc
• 0:39
  is
• 0:39
  really
• 0:40
  a
• 0:40
  representation
• 0:41
  of
• 0:41
  the
• 0:41
  salvation
• 0:42
  we
• 0:42
  receive
• 0:42
  from
• 0:43
  Jesus
• 0:43
  Christ.
• 0:44
  just
• 0:44
  as
• 0:44
  Noah
• 0:44
  and
• 0:45
  his
• 0:45
  family
• 0:45
  was
• 0:45
  protected
• 0:46
  from
• 0:46
  destruction
• 0:47
  inside
• 0:47
  the
• 0:47
  ark,
• 0:48
  when
• 0:48
  we
• 0:48
  accept
• 0:49
  Jesus
• 0:49
  as
• 0:49
  our
• 0:49
  savior,
• 0:50
  it's
• 0:50
  as
• 0:50
  though
• 0:51
  we're
• 0:51
  going
• 0:51
  through
• 0:51
  the
• 0:51
  door
• 0:52
  of
• 0:52
  the
• 0:52
  ark
• 0:53
  and
• 0:53
  the
• 0:53
  destruction
• 0:53
  of
• 0:54
  our
• 0:54
  sin
• 0:54
  is
• 0:54
  now
• 0:55
  powerless
• 0:55
  against
• 0:56
  us.
• 0:56
  Jesus
• 0:57
  was
• 0:57
  victorious
• 0:58
  over
• 0:58
  sin
• 0:58
  once
• 0:58
  and
• 0:59
  for
• 0:59
  all,
• 0:59
  but
• 0:59
  in
• 0:59
  today's
• 1:00
  reading
• 1:00
  we'll
• 1:00
  see
• 1:01
  that
• 1:01
  the
• 1:01
  flood
• 1:01
  certainly
• 1:02
  did
• 1:02
  not
• 1:02
  eradicate
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  problem
• 1:04
  of
• 1:04
  sin
• 1:04
  in
• 1:04
  the
• 1:04
  world
• 1:05
  first,
• 1:06
  we'll
• 1:06
  talk
• 1:06
  through
• 1:06
  a
• 1:06
  couple
• 1:06
  verses
• 1:07
  from
• 1:07
  chapter
• 1:07
  nine
• 1:08
  and
• 1:08
  10.
• 1:08
  Then
• 1:09
  I'll
• 1:09
  read
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  you
• 1:09
  a
• 1:09
  portion
• 1:10
  from
• 1:10
  chapter
• 1:10
  11
• 1:11
  and
• 1:11
  pray
• 1:11
  over
• 1:11
  you.
• 1:12
  As
• 1:12
  I
• 1:12
  said
• 1:13
  in
• 1:13
  chapter
• 1:13
  nine,
• 1:13
  sin
• 1:14
  is
• 1:14
  still
• 1:14
  present
• 1:15
  in
• 1:15
  the
• 1:16
  world
• 1:16
  post
• 1:16
  flood.
• 1:17
  There
• 1:17
  is
• 1:17
  a
• 1:17
  little
• 1:17
  bit
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  repetition
• 1:18
  from
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  perfection
• 1:19
  of
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  garden.
• 1:20
  However,
• 1:20
  in
• 1:21
  nine
• 1:21
  one,
• 1:21
  we
• 1:21
  hear
• 1:22
  God's
• 1:22
  first
• 1:22
  command
• 1:23
  repeated
• 1:23
  god
• 1:24
  blessed
• 1:24
  Noah
• 1:24
  and
• 1:25
  his
• 1:25
  sons
• 1:25
  and
• 1:25
  said
• 1:25
  to
• 1:26
  them,
• 1:26
  be
• 1:26
  fruitful
• 1:27
  and
• 1:27
  multiply
• 1:28
  and
• 1:28
  fill
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  earth.
• 1:29
  And
• 1:29
  later
• 1:29
  in
• 1:29
  verse
• 1:29
  eight.
• 1:30
  God
• 1:30
  tells
• 1:30
  Noah
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  his
• 1:31
  sons,
• 1:31
  behold,
• 1:32
  I
• 1:33
  establish
• 1:33
  my
• 1:33
  covenant
• 1:34
  with
• 1:34
  you
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  your
• 1:35
  offspring
• 1:35
  after
• 1:36
  you,
• 1:36
  and
• 1:37
  with
• 1:37
  every
• 1:37
  living
• 1:37
  creature
• 1:38
  that
• 1:38
  is
• 1:38
  with
• 1:38
  you.
• 1:39
  God
• 1:39
  promises
• 1:40
  he'll
• 1:40
  remember
• 1:40
  this
• 1:40
  covenant.
• 1:41
  He
• 1:41
  even
• 1:42
  says
• 1:42
  he
• 1:42
  will
• 1:42
  set
• 1:42
  his
• 1:43
  boat
• 1:43
  in
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  clouds.
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  heard
• 1:44
  one
• 1:45
  Bible
• 1:45
  teacher
• 1:45
  say
• 1:46
  that
• 1:46
  if
• 1:46
  God
• 1:47
  now
• 1:47
  sets
• 1:47
  his
• 1:48
  bow
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  arrow
• 1:48
  in
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  clouds
• 1:49
  as
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  rainbow
• 1:50
  reflects
• 1:51
  that,
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  arrow
• 1:51
  would
• 1:52
  now
• 1:52
  be
• 1:52
  pointing
• 1:52
  up
• 1:53
  at
• 1:53
  Jesus.
• 1:54
  God
• 1:54
  promises
• 1:54
  not
• 1:54
  to
• 1:55
  bring
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  flood
• 1:55
  of
• 1:55
  judgment
• 1:56
  upon
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  earth
• 1:56
  in
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  same
• 1:57
  way,
• 1:57
  whenever
• 1:58
  you
• 1:58
  see
• 1:58
  a
• 1:58
  rainbow,
• 1:58
  you
• 1:59
  can
• 1:59
  be
• 1:59
  thankful
• 1:59
  that
• 2:00
  our
• 2:00
  God
• 2:00
  is
• 2:00
  a
• 2:00
  covenant
• 2:01
  making
• 2:01
  God.
• 2:02
  And
• 2:02
  that
• 2:02
  even
• 2:02
  when
• 2:03
  humanity
• 2:03
  is
• 2:04
  sinful
• 2:04
  and
• 2:04
  faithless,
• 2:05
  that
• 2:05
  God
• 2:06
  still
• 2:06
  made
• 2:06
  a
• 2:06
  way
• 2:07
  for
• 2:07
  our
• 2:07
  sins
• 2:07
  to
• 2:07
  be
• 2:07
  dealt
• 2:08
  with.
• 2:08
  The
• 2:08
  covenant
• 2:09
  that
• 2:09
  God
• 2:09
  made
• 2:09
  with
• 2:09
  Noah
• 2:10
  is
• 2:10
  referred
• 2:11
  to
• 2:11
  as
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  NOIC
• 2:12
  covenant.
• 2:12
  It's
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  first
• 2:13
  of
• 2:14
  five
• 2:14
  covenants
• 2:14
  in
• 2:15
  scripture
• 2:15
  that
• 2:15
  God
• 2:15
  initiates.
• 2:16
  There
• 2:16
  are
• 2:16
  certainly
• 2:17
  some
• 2:17
  similarities
• 2:18
  that
• 2:18
  we
• 2:18
  see
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  God's
• 2:19
  initial
• 2:19
  blessing
• 2:19
  on
• 2:20
  Adam
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  Eve.
• 2:20
  First,
• 2:21
  there's
• 2:21
  a
• 2:21
  blessing
• 2:22
  of
• 2:22
  fertility
• 2:22
  when
• 2:23
  he
• 2:23
  tells
• 2:23
  Noah
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  his
• 2:24
  sons
• 2:25
  to
• 2:25
  be
• 2:25
  fruitful
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  multiply,
• 2:26
  and
• 2:27
  then
• 2:27
  he
• 2:27
  describes
• 2:27
  their
• 2:28
  dominion
• 2:28
  that
• 2:28
  they
• 2:28
  have
• 2:28
  over
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  animal
• 2:29
  world.
• 2:30
  Next,
• 2:30
  he
• 2:30
  tells
• 2:31
  'em
• 2:31
  about
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  nourishment
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  food
• 2:32
  that
• 2:32
  he's
• 2:33
  providing
• 2:33
  for
• 2:33
  them,
• 2:34
  and
• 2:34
  it
• 2:34
  ends
• 2:34
  with
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  new
• 2:35
  moral
• 2:35
  standard
• 2:36
  that
• 2:36
  they
• 2:37
  are
• 2:37
  not.
• 2:37
  To
• 2:37
  eat
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  flesh
• 2:38
  with
• 2:39
  its
• 2:39
  life.
• 2:40
  That
• 2:40
  is
• 2:40
  the
• 2:40
  blood.
• 2:41
  And
• 2:41
  whoever
• 2:41
  sheds
• 2:42
  man's
• 2:42
  blood
• 2:43
  by
• 2:43
  man,
• 2:43
  his
• 2:44
  blood
• 2:44
  shall
• 2:44
  shed.
• 2:45
  But
• 2:45
  God
• 2:45
  tells
• 2:45
  us
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  reason.
• 2:46
  It's
• 2:47
  because
• 2:47
  we're
• 2:47
  made
• 2:47
  in
• 2:47
  the
• 2:48
  image
• 2:48
  of
• 2:48
  God,
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  that's
• 2:49
  why
• 2:49
  violence
• 2:50
  against
• 2:50
  humans.
• 2:51
  It
• 2:51
  is
• 2:51
  so
• 2:51
  egregious
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  heart
• 2:53
  of
• 2:53
  God.
• 2:53
  God
• 2:54
  truly
• 2:54
  cares
• 2:55
  about
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  life
• 2:55
  of
• 2:56
  every
• 2:56
  human,
• 2:57
  towards
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  end
• 2:57
  of
• 2:57
  chapter
• 2:58
  nine,
• 2:58
  there's
• 2:58
  a
• 2:58
  story
• 2:59
  regarding
• 2:59
  Noah
• 3:00
  and
• 3:00
  his
• 3:00
  family,
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  there
• 3:01
  is
• 3:01
  a
• 3:02
  lot
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  debate
• 3:02
  between
• 3:03
  scholars
• 3:03
  and
• 3:04
  even
• 3:04
  in
• 3:04
  my
• 3:04
  own
• 3:05
  commentaries.
• 3:06
  For
• 3:06
  our
• 3:06
  purposes,
• 3:07
  we're
• 3:07
  not
• 3:07
  going
• 3:07
  to
• 3:07
  get
• 3:07
  into
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  debate,
• 3:08
  but
• 3:09
  what
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  do
• 3:09
  think
• 3:09
  is
• 3:10
  interesting
• 3:11
  is
• 3:11
  that
• 3:11
  in
• 3:11
  9
• 3:12
  22.
• 3:12
  Scripture
• 3:13
  tells
• 3:13
  us
• 3:13
  that
• 3:13
  ham,
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  father
• 3:15
  of
• 3:15
  Canaan,
• 3:15
  saw
• 3:15
  the
• 3:16
  nakedness
• 3:16
  of
• 3:16
  his
• 3:17
  father
• 3:17
  and
• 3:17
  told
• 3:18
  his
• 3:18
  two
• 3:18
  brothers
• 3:18
  outside,
• 3:19
  but
• 3:19
  Shem
• 3:20
  and
• 3:20
  Jfe
• 3:20
  took
• 3:20
  great
• 3:21
  care
• 3:21
  to
• 3:21
  walk
• 3:22
  backwards
• 3:23
  and
• 3:23
  cover
• 3:23
  their
• 3:23
  father
• 3:24
  averting
• 3:24
  their
• 3:24
  eyes.
• 3:25
  With
• 3:25
  him.
• 3:26
  His
• 3:26
  eyes
• 3:26
  saw
• 3:27
  something
• 3:27
  he
• 3:27
  shouldn't
• 3:27
  have,
• 3:28
  and
• 3:28
  his
• 3:28
  mouth
• 3:29
  spoke.
• 3:29
  Words.
• 3:29
  He
• 3:30
  shouldn't
• 3:30
  have.
• 3:30
  Shem
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  Jfe
• 3:31
  honored
• 3:32
  their
• 3:32
  father
• 3:32
  both
• 3:33
  with
• 3:33
  their
• 3:33
  eyes
• 3:33
  and
• 3:34
  with
• 3:34
  their
• 3:34
  feet.
• 3:34
  It
• 3:35
  makes
• 3:35
  me
• 3:35
  think
• 3:35
  of
• 3:35
  that
• 3:35
  sweet
• 3:36
  little
• 3:36
  song.
• 3:36
  Be
• 3:37
  Careful
• 3:37
  Little
• 3:37
  Eyes.
• 3:38
  What
• 3:38
  you
• 3:38
  see
• 3:39
  for
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  Lord
• 3:39
  is
• 3:39
  up
• 3:40
  above
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  he's
• 3:40
  looking
• 3:41
  down
• 3:41
  in
• 3:41
  love.
• 3:42
  We
• 3:42
  do
• 3:42
  have
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  be
• 3:42
  cautious
• 3:43
  about
• 3:43
  what
• 3:43
  we
• 3:43
  look
• 3:44
  at
• 3:44
  as
• 3:44
  parents,
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45
  that's
• 3:45
  a
• 3:45
  way
• 3:45
  we
• 3:46
  can
• 3:46
  protect
• 3:46
  our
• 3:46
  kids.
• 3:47
  But
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  also
• 3:47
  tell
• 3:48
  my
• 3:48
  kids
• 3:48
  that
• 3:48
  there
• 3:48
  are
• 3:48
  so
• 3:49
  many
• 3:49
  verses
• 3:50
  about
• 3:50
  us
• 3:50
  running
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  righteousness,
• 3:51
  that
• 3:52
  our
• 3:52
  feet
• 3:52
  point
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  way
• 3:53
  for
• 3:53
  us,
• 3:54
  and
• 3:54
  you
• 3:54
  can
• 3:54
  either
• 3:54
  lead
• 3:55
  yourself
• 3:55
  into
• 3:55
  temptation
• 3:56
  or
• 3:56
  you
• 3:57
  can
• 3:57
  turn
• 3:57
  those
• 3:57
  feet
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  run
• 3:58
  away
• 3:58
  from
• 3:59
  it.
• 3:59
  Whatever
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  situation
• 4:00
  was
• 4:00
  in
• 4:00
  Genesis
• 4:01
  nine,
• 4:01
  ham
• 4:02
  certainly
• 4:02
  did
• 4:02
  not
• 4:02
  do
• 4:02
  this.
• 4:03
  We
• 4:03
  haven't
• 4:03
  talked
• 4:04
  about
• 4:04
  it
• 4:04
  a
• 4:04
  lot
• 4:04
  yet,
• 4:05
  but
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  author
• 4:05
  of
• 4:06
  Genesis
• 4:06
  is
• 4:06
  Moses,
• 4:07
  and
• 4:07
  Jesus
• 4:08
  affirms
• 4:08
  that
• 4:08
  in
• 4:08
  the
• 4:09
  New
• 4:09
  Testament.
• 4:09
  He
• 4:10
  wrote
• 4:10
  the
• 4:10
  first
• 4:10
  five
• 4:10
  books
• 4:11
  of
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  Bible
• 4:11
  known
• 4:11
  as
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  Pentateuch,
• 4:12
  and
• 4:13
  even
• 4:13
  though
• 4:13
  Moses
• 4:14
  wasn't
• 4:14
  on
• 4:14
  the
• 4:14
  scene
• 4:14
  yet,
• 4:15
  we
• 4:15
  know
• 4:15
  he
• 4:15
  had
• 4:16
  plenty
• 4:16
  of
• 4:16
  time
• 4:17
  for
• 4:17
  God
• 4:17
  to
• 4:18
  tell
• 4:18
  him
• 4:18
  what
• 4:18
  happened.
• 4:19
  Because
• 4:19
  he
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  God
• 4:20
  had
• 4:20
  some
• 4:20
  long
• 4:21
  conversations
• 4:22
  on
• 4:22
  a
• 4:22
  mountain
• 4:22
  and
• 4:23
  in
• 4:23
  a
• 4:23
  tabernacle.
• 4:24
  Interestingly,
• 4:25
  when
• 4:25
  Moses
• 4:26
  would've
• 4:26
  shared
• 4:26
  this
• 4:26
  with
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  Israelites,
• 4:27
  it
• 4:28
  was
• 4:28
  when
• 4:28
  God
• 4:28
  was
• 4:28
  about
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  lead
• 4:29
  them
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  conquer
• 4:30
  Canaan
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  take
• 4:31
  the
• 4:31
  promised
• 4:31
  land.
• 4:32
  It
• 4:32
  was
• 4:32
  important
• 4:32
  for
• 4:32
  them
• 4:33
  to
• 4:33
  understand
• 4:33
  why
• 4:34
  are
• 4:34
  we
• 4:34
  against
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  Canaanites
• 4:35
  and
• 4:35
  how
• 4:35
  did
• 4:36
  they
• 4:36
  start?
• 4:36
  We're
• 4:37
  seeing
• 4:37
  part
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  their
• 4:37
  origin
• 4:38
  story
• 4:38
  here
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  throughout
• 4:39
  scripture.
• 4:40
  They
• 4:40
  are
• 4:40
  seen
• 4:41
  as
• 4:41
  a
• 4:42
  wicked
• 4:42
  line.
• 4:43
  In
• 4:43
  Chapter
• 4:43
  10,
• 4:44
  we
• 4:44
  have
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  Table
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  Nations,
• 4:45
  which
• 4:45
  is
• 4:46
  an
• 4:46
  important
• 4:46
  chapter
• 4:46
  of
• 4:47
  genealogy,
• 4:47
  and
• 4:48
  we
• 4:48
  are
• 4:48
  introduced
• 4:49
  to
• 4:49
  Nimrod.
• 4:50
  He
• 4:50
  was
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  first
• 4:51
  on
• 4:51
  earth
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  be
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  mighty
• 4:52
  man,
• 4:52
  and
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  beginning
• 4:53
  of
• 4:53
  his
• 4:53
  kingdom
• 4:53
  was
• 4:54
  babble.
• 4:54
  When
• 4:54
  my
• 4:55
  brother
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  were
• 4:55
  growing
• 4:56
  up
• 4:56
  and
• 4:56
  we
• 4:56
  found
• 4:56
  out
• 4:56
  that
• 4:57
  Nimrod
• 4:57
  was
• 4:57
  a
• 4:57
  name
• 4:57
  in
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  Bible,
• 4:58
  we
• 4:59
  thought
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  this
• 4:59
  was
• 5:00
  a
• 5:00
  really
• 5:00
  clever
• 5:01
  way
• 5:01
  of
• 5:01
  insulting
• 5:01
  each
• 5:01
  other
• 5:02
  that
• 5:02
  we
• 5:02
  couldn't
• 5:03
  possibly
• 5:03
  get
• 5:04
  in
• 5:04
  trouble
• 5:04
  for.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  when
• 5:05
  our
• 5:05
  parents
• 5:05
  objected,
• 5:05
  we
• 5:06
  would
• 5:06
  say,
• 5:06
  but
• 5:06
  it's
• 5:07
  in
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  Bible,
• 5:08
  clearly
• 5:08
  not
• 5:08
  Godly
• 5:09
  reasoning.
• 5:10
  And
• 5:10
  that's
• 5:10
  what
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10
  think
• 5:11
  of
• 5:11
  when
• 5:11
  I
• 5:11
  think
• 5:11
  of
• 5:11
  Nimrod.
• 5:12
  But
• 5:12
  in
• 5:12
  Hebrew.
• 5:13
  Nimrod
• 5:13
  actually
• 5:14
  means
• 5:14
  we
• 5:14
  will
• 5:15
  rebel.
• 5:15
  Maybe
• 5:16
  my
• 5:16
  brother
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  I
• 5:16
  were
• 5:16
  speaking
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  words
• 5:17
  of
• 5:17
  scripture
• 5:18
  more
• 5:18
  than
• 5:18
  we
• 5:18
  realized.
• 5:19
  All
• 5:19
  right,
• 5:19
  let's
• 5:20
  get
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  little
• 5:20
  bit
• 5:20
  more
• 5:20
  serious.
• 5:21
  And
• 5:21
  look
• 5:22
  at
• 5:22
  chapter
• 5:22
  11.
• 5:23
  Now,
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  whole
• 5:24
  Earth
• 5:24
  had
• 5:24
  one
• 5:25
  language
• 5:25
  and
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  same
• 5:26
  words.
• 5:26
  And
• 5:26
  as
• 5:27
  people
• 5:27
  migrated
• 5:28
  from
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  east,
• 5:28
  they
• 5:29
  found
• 5:29
  a
• 5:29
  plane
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  land
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  shiner
• 5:31
  and
• 5:31
  settled
• 5:31
  there.
• 5:32
  And
• 5:32
  they
• 5:32
  said
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  one
• 5:33
  another,
• 5:33
  come
• 5:34
  let
• 5:34
  us
• 5:34
  make
• 5:34
  bricks
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  burn
• 5:35
  them.
• 5:36
  And
• 5:36
  they
• 5:36
  had
• 5:36
  brick
• 5:36
  for
• 5:37
  stone
• 5:37
  and
• 5:38
  bit
• 5:38
  human
• 5:38
  for
• 5:38
  mortar.
• 5:39
  And
• 5:39
  they
• 5:39
  said,
• 5:40
  come
• 5:40
  let
• 5:40
  us
• 5:41
  build
• 5:41
  for
• 5:41
  ourselves
• 5:41
  a
• 5:42
  city
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  tower
• 5:43
  with
• 5:43
  its
• 5:43
  top
• 5:43
  in
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  heavens.
• 5:44
  And
• 5:45
  let
• 5:45
  us
• 5:45
  make
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  name
• 5:46
  for
• 5:46
  ourselves,
• 5:47
  lest
• 5:47
  we
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  dispersed
• 5:48
  over
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  face
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  whole
• 5:49
  earth.
• 5:50
  And
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  Lord
• 5:50
  came
• 5:51
  down
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  see
• 5:51
  the
• 5:52
  city
• 5:52
  and
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  tower.
• 5:53
  Which
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  children
• 5:54
  of
• 5:54
  man
• 5:54
  had
• 5:54
  built.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  Lord
• 5:55
  said,
• 5:55
  behold,
• 5:56
  they
• 5:56
  are
• 5:57
  one
• 5:57
  people
• 5:58
  and
• 5:58
  they
• 5:58
  have
• 5:58
  one
• 5:59
  language,
• 5:59
  and
• 6:00
  this
• 6:00
  is
• 6:00
  only
• 6:00
  the
• 6:01
  beginning
• 6:01
  of
• 6:01
  what
• 6:01
  they
• 6:02
  will
• 6:02
  do,
• 6:02
  and
• 6:03
  nothing
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  they
• 6:03
  propose
• 6:04
  to
• 6:04
  do
• 6:05
  will
• 6:05
  now
• 6:05
  be
• 6:05
  impossible
• 6:06
  for
• 6:06
  them.
• 6:06
  Come
• 6:07
  let
• 6:07
  us
• 6:07
  go
• 6:08
  down
• 6:08
  and
• 6:08
  confuse
• 6:09
  their
• 6:09
  language
• 6:10
  so
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  they
• 6:10
  may
• 6:10
  not
• 6:11
  understand
• 6:11
  one
• 6:11
  another's
• 6:12
  speech.
• 6:12
  So
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  Lord
• 6:13
  dispersed
• 6:14
  them
• 6:14
  from
• 6:14
  there
• 6:14
  over
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  face
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  all
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  Earth
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  they
• 6:16
  left
• 6:17
  off
• 6:17
  building
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  city.
• 6:18
  Therefore,
• 6:19
  its
• 6:19
  name
• 6:19
  was
• 6:19
  called
• 6:20
  Babel
• 6:20
  because
• 6:21
  there
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  Lord
• 6:22
  confused
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  language
• 6:23
  of
• 6:23
  all
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  Earth,
• 6:24
  and
• 6:24
  from
• 6:24
  there,
• 6:24
  the
• 6:25
  Lord
• 6:25
  dispersed
• 6:25
  them
• 6:26
  over
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  face
• 6:26
  of
• 6:26
  all
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  earth.
• 6:28
  Let's
• 6:28
  think
• 6:28
  back
• 6:29
  to
• 6:29
  God's
• 6:29
  initial
• 6:30
  command.
• 6:30
  It
• 6:31
  was
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  be
• 6:31
  fruitful
• 6:32
  and
• 6:32
  multiply
• 6:32
  and
• 6:33
  fill
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  earth,
• 6:33
  repeated.
• 6:34
  In
• 6:34
  Genesis
• 6:34
  nine,
• 6:35
  they
• 6:35
  are
• 6:35
  an
• 6:35
  absolute
• 6:36
  defiance
• 6:37
  to
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  command
• 6:37
  of
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  Lord.
• 6:38
  Also,
• 6:39
  think
• 6:39
  about
• 6:39
  what
• 6:39
  happened
• 6:40
  in
• 6:40
  recent
• 6:40
  history
• 6:41
  for
• 6:41
  them,
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  flood.
• 6:42
  We
• 6:42
  know
• 6:43
  that
• 6:43
  every
• 6:43
  ancient
• 6:44
  culture
• 6:44
  has
• 6:44
  a
• 6:44
  flood
• 6:45
  story,
• 6:45
  about
• 6:46
  270
• 6:47
  flood
• 6:47
  stories
• 6:48
  that
• 6:48
  we're
• 6:48
  aware
• 6:48
  of.
• 6:49
  You
• 6:49
  know
• 6:49
  what
• 6:49
  this
• 6:49
  tells
• 6:49
  us?
• 6:50
  This
• 6:50
  really
• 6:51
  happened.
• 6:51
  It
• 6:52
  would
• 6:52
  make
• 6:52
  sense
• 6:52
  that
• 6:52
  someone
• 6:53
  would
• 6:53
  want
• 6:53
  to
• 6:53
  build
• 6:53
  a
• 6:53
  tower
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  heavens
• 6:54
  to
• 6:55
  try
• 6:55
  to
• 6:55
  preserve
• 6:55
  themselves.
• 6:57
  God's
• 6:57
  response
• 6:57
  reminds
• 6:58
  me
• 6:58
  of
• 6:58
  how
• 6:58
  we
• 6:58
  deal
• 6:58
  with
• 6:58
  our
• 6:59
  toddlers.
• 6:59
  Sometimes
• 6:59
  when
• 7:00
  they're
• 7:00
  stubborn,
• 7:00
  I
• 7:01
  can
• 7:01
  almost
• 7:01
  picture
• 7:02
  God
• 7:02
  picking
• 7:03
  them
• 7:03
  up
• 7:03
  like
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  mom
• 7:04
  picks
• 7:04
  up
• 7:04
  a
• 7:04
  toddler
• 7:05
  and
• 7:05
  returning
• 7:05
  them
• 7:06
  to
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  mess
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  they
• 7:07
  were
• 7:07
  asked
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  clean
• 7:07
  up
• 7:08
  instead
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  destroying
• 7:09
  them.
• 7:09
  God
• 7:09
  comes
• 7:10
  down.
• 7:11
  reminds
• 7:11
  me
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  our
• 7:11
  dwelling
• 7:12
  place
• 7:12
  theme,
• 7:12
  and
• 7:13
  he
• 7:13
  says,
• 7:13
  I
• 7:13
  told
• 7:14
  you
• 7:14
  to
• 7:14
  scatter
• 7:14
  and
• 7:15
  fill
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  earth
• 7:15
  and
• 7:16
  you
• 7:16
  did
• 7:16
  not
• 7:16
  obey
• 7:16
  me.
• 7:17
  And
• 7:17
  now
• 7:17
  I
• 7:18
  am
• 7:18
  going
• 7:18
  to
• 7:18
  scatter
• 7:19
  you.
• 7:19
  The
• 7:19
  name
• 7:19
  Babel
• 7:20
  continues
• 7:20
  in
• 7:21
  scripture
• 7:21
  as
• 7:22
  Babylon,
• 7:23
  which
• 7:23
  also
• 7:23
  represents
• 7:24
  a
• 7:24
  rebellious
• 7:25
  kingdom.
• 7:25
  And
• 7:25
  in
• 7:25
  Revelation
• 7:26
  18,
• 7:26
  it
• 7:27
  tells
• 7:27
  us
• 7:27
  that
• 7:27
  Babylon
• 7:28
  will
• 7:28
  be
• 7:28
  found
• 7:29
  no
• 7:29
  more.
• 7:29
  God
• 7:30
  will
• 7:30
  be
• 7:30
  victorious
• 7:30
  over
• 7:31
  all
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  efforts
• 7:32
  of
• 7:32
  man
• 7:32
  and
• 7:32
  all
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  kingdoms
• 7:33
  that
• 7:33
  are
• 7:34
  not
• 7:34
  built
• 7:34
  on
• 7:34
  the
• 7:35
  foundation
• 7:35
  of
• 7:35
  Jesus
• 7:36
  Christ.
• 7:36
  This
• 7:36
  building
• 7:37
  project
• 7:37
  in
• 7:37
  itself
• 7:38
  was
• 7:38
  not
• 7:38
  a
• 7:38
  sin,
• 7:39
  but
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  purpose
• 7:40
  was
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  first
• 7:41
  evidence
• 7:41
  we
• 7:41
  have
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  secular
• 7:42
  humanism,
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  can
• 7:43
  remember
• 7:44
  when
• 7:44
  my
• 7:44
  boys
• 7:44
  were
• 7:44
  little.
• 7:45
  We
• 7:45
  had
• 7:45
  three
• 7:45
  boys
• 7:46
  in
• 7:46
  under
• 7:46
  three
• 7:46
  years,
• 7:47
  and
• 7:47
  I
• 7:47
  am
• 7:47
  telling
• 7:48
  you
• 7:48
  they
• 7:48
  could
• 7:48
  climb
• 7:49
  anything.
• 7:49
  And
• 7:49
  I
• 7:49
  kept
• 7:50
  thinking
• 7:50
  about
• 7:51
  this
• 7:51
  chapter
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  scripture
• 7:52
  when
• 7:52
  God
• 7:53
  says,
• 7:53
  this
• 7:54
  is
• 7:54
  only
• 7:54
  the
• 7:54
  beginning
• 7:54
  of
• 7:55
  what
• 7:55
  they'll
• 7:55
  do,
• 7:55
  and
• 7:56
  nothing
• 7:56
  that
• 7:56
  they
• 7:56
  propose
• 7:57
  to
• 7:57
  do
• 7:57
  will
• 7:57
  be
• 7:57
  impossible
• 7:58
  for
• 7:58
  them.
• 7:58
  And
• 7:59
  as
• 7:59
  they
• 7:59
  sought
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  climb
• 8:00
  various
• 8:01
  heights
• 8:01
  and
• 8:01
  surmount
• 8:02
  any
• 8:02
  obstacle
• 8:03
  their
• 8:03
  tenacity
• 8:04
  was
• 8:04
  often
• 8:05
  exhausting,
• 8:05
  and
• 8:05
  I
• 8:06
  felt
• 8:06
  I
• 8:06
  had
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  completely
• 8:07
  clear
• 8:07
  my
• 8:07
  calendar
• 8:08
  just
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  keep
• 8:08
  them
• 8:08
  safe.
• 8:09
  I
• 8:09
  wanted
• 8:09
  them
• 8:09
  to
• 8:10
  be
• 8:10
  strong
• 8:10
  and
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  have
• 8:10
  adventure,
• 8:11
  but
• 8:11
  it
• 8:11
  was
• 8:11
  daunting.
• 8:12
  If
• 8:12
  your
• 8:12
  kids
• 8:13
  are
• 8:13
  in
• 8:13
  that
• 8:13
  season
• 8:13
  right
• 8:14
  now,
• 8:14
  scaling
• 8:14
  refrigerators
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  flipping
• 8:16
  out
• 8:16
  of
• 8:16
  cribs,
• 8:16
  I've
• 8:17
  been
• 8:17
  there.
• 8:17
  Don't
• 8:18
  give
• 8:18
  up.
• 8:18
  Just
• 8:19
  pray
• 8:19
  that
• 8:19
  all
• 8:19
  of
• 8:20
  that
• 8:20
  energy
• 8:20
  would
• 8:20
  be
• 8:20
  channeled
• 8:21
  into
• 8:21
  building
• 8:22
  something
• 8:22
  for
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  Lord's
• 8:23
  glory.
• 8:24
  as
• 8:24
  we
• 8:24
  think
• 8:24
  about
• 8:24
  Nimrod
• 8:25
  and
• 8:25
  how
• 8:25
  arrogant
• 8:26
  he
• 8:26
  was
• 8:26
  and
• 8:27
  how
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  Lord
• 8:27
  defeated
• 8:28
  his
• 8:28
  purposes
• 8:29
  and
• 8:29
  confused
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  language
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  people.
• 8:31
  Let's
• 8:31
  fast
• 8:32
  forward
• 8:32
  in
• 8:32
  history
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  another
• 8:33
  arrogant
• 8:34
  leader
• 8:34
  that
• 8:35
  sought
• 8:35
  to
• 8:35
  conquer
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  world.
• 8:36
  Alexander
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  Great
• 8:37
  his
• 8:38
  kingdom
• 8:38
  was
• 8:38
  vast
• 8:39
  and
• 8:39
  he
• 8:39
  conquered
• 8:40
  many
• 8:40
  lands
• 8:40
  and
• 8:40
  hellenized
• 8:41
  them,
• 8:41
  which
• 8:42
  means
• 8:42
  forced
• 8:42
  them
• 8:42
  to
• 8:43
  embrace
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  Greek
• 8:44
  culture
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  language.
• 8:45
  And
• 8:45
  a
• 8:45
  short
• 8:46
  time
• 8:46
  later,
• 8:46
  when
• 8:47
  Jesus
• 8:47
  Christ,
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  humble
• 8:48
  king
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  universe
• 8:49
  came,
• 8:50
  the
• 8:50
  gospel
• 8:51
  was
• 8:51
  able
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  be
• 8:51
  spread
• 8:52
  easily
• 8:53
  because
• 8:53
  one
• 8:53
  language
• 8:54
  was
• 8:54
  spoken
• 8:54
  by
• 8:55
  so
• 8:55
  much
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  the
• 8:55
  world
• 8:56
  at
• 8:56
  that
• 8:56
  time.
• 8:57
  Do
• 8:57
  you
• 8:57
  see
• 8:57
  how
• 8:57
  God's
• 8:58
  purposes
• 8:58
  will
• 8:58
  not
• 8:59
  be
• 8:59
  thwarted?
• 9:00
  Our
• 9:00
  theme
• 9:00
  verse
• 9:00
  for
• 9:01
  Entrusted
• 9:01
  Ministries
• 9:01
  is
• 9:02
  Psalm
• 9:02
  1
• 9:02
  27.
• 9:03
  One.
• 9:03
  Unless
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  Lord
• 9:04
  builds
• 9:04
  the
• 9:05
  house,
• 9:05
  they
• 9:05
  labor
• 9:06
  in
• 9:06
  vain
• 9:06
  who
• 9:06
  build
• 9:06
  it
• 9:07
  unless
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  Lord
• 9:08
  guards
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  city,
• 9:09
  the
• 9:09
  watchmen
• 9:09
  keep
• 9:09
  awake
• 9:10
  in
• 9:10
  vain.
• 9:10
  I
• 9:11
  pray
• 9:11
  that
• 9:11
  you
• 9:11
  and
• 9:11
  I
• 9:12
  would
• 9:12
  be
• 9:12
  mothers
• 9:12
  that
• 9:13
  build
• 9:13
  on
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  foundation
• 9:14
  of
• 9:14
  Jesus
• 9:14
  Christ
• 9:15
  because
• 9:15
  nothing
• 9:16
  else
• 9:16
  will
• 9:16
  last.
• 9:17
  Let's
• 9:17
  pray
• 9:17
  to
• 9:17
  that
• 9:18
  end.
• 9:18
  Heavenly
• 9:19
  Father,
• 9:19
  I
• 9:19
  pray
• 9:19
  a
• 9:19
  blessing
• 9:20
  over
• 9:20
  these
• 9:20
  moms
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  you
• 9:21
  would
• 9:21
  give
• 9:21
  them
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  capacity
• 9:22
  to
• 9:23
  dig
• 9:23
  into
• 9:23
  your
• 9:23
  word.
• 9:24
  Help
• 9:24
  us
• 9:24
  to
• 9:24
  delight
• 9:25
  as
• 9:25
  we
• 9:25
  uncover
• 9:26
  truth
• 9:26
  to
• 9:26
  see
• 9:27
  your
• 9:27
  heart
• 9:27
  behind
• 9:27
  it
• 9:27
  all
• 9:28
  and
• 9:28
  be
• 9:28
  transformed
• 9:29
  in
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  process.
• 9:30
  We
• 9:30
  thank
• 9:30
  you
• 9:30
  for
• 9:30
  the
• 9:30
  radical
• 9:31
  and
• 9:32
  righteous
• 9:32
  example
• 9:33
  of
• 9:33
  Noah.
• 9:34
  Help
• 9:34
  us
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  also
• 9:34
  walk
• 9:35
  in
• 9:35
  faithfulness
• 9:35
  and
• 9:36
  persevere
• 9:36
  even
• 9:37
  when
• 9:37
  it
• 9:37
  feels
• 9:37
  mundane.
• 9:38
  And
• 9:38
  Lord,
• 9:39
  in
• 9:39
  our
• 9:39
  own
• 9:39
  hearts
• 9:39
  and
• 9:39
  also
• 9:40
  in
• 9:40
  the
• 9:40
  hearts
• 9:40
  of
• 9:40
  our
• 9:40
  kids,
• 9:41
  we
• 9:41
  pray
• 9:42
  against
• 9:42
  pride
• 9:42
  and
• 9:43
  defiance
• 9:43
  that
• 9:44
  was
• 9:44
  represented
• 9:44
  at
• 9:44
  the
• 9:45
  Tower
• 9:45
  of
• 9:45
  Babel.
• 9:45
  And
• 9:46
  that
• 9:46
  they
• 9:46
  would
• 9:46
  not
• 9:46
  be
• 9:46
  pulled
• 9:47
  towards
• 9:47
  selfish

  desires

  or

  the

  empty

  promises

  and
