Genesis 10, 11
Quickly, if you have your Bibles with you now this evening, if you will be finding your place back at the very first book in your Bible, the book of Genesis. If you're our guest tonight, we've been in a series of studies, really for the last several months here on Sunday nights, through this beginning book of the Bible that we've entitled The Book of Beginnings. We're looking at creation, fall, flood, and covenant, and tonight we're really going to begin to make a major move. Tonight we're going to be looking at Genesis 10 and 11. We're going to cover two chapters tonight, and don't let that scare you too much, because when you're flying at 30,000 feet, you cover a whole lot of ground quickly, okay?
Tonight, we're looking at Genesis, chapter 10, and I will talk to you for a few minutes tonight. You should have there, let's see, in your handout, a sheet entitled The Rise and Fall of Babylon. We may look at it tonight. We could call it Babylonian Religion, or my preferred title for this evening, if you want to write this down underneath there on our notes somewhere, is You You Might Be a Babylonian If, and that's going to be very important in just a few moments. If you're there in Genesis chapter 10, say amen.
All right. Verse one. ''Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah. Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.'' If you'll remember, the last time that we were together, we finished up there just after the flood. God had destroyed the entire world with a fantastic, fatal flood, and the reason why is because man had rebelled against God. Man had turned against God. Man was thumbing his nose in the face of God, defying God's command, defiling His name, denying his Word.
As a matter of fact, if you'll remember back in Genesis, chapter 6 in verse number five, the Bible says that at this point on the planet, that the ev ...
