Discuss Genesis 11 Page 3

First, remember God wiped everyone out in the flood except for 8 people.

Hello, there's 2 common theories I've heard:

1. Noah had 7 others with him. Some believe people from the races came from these 8 people. But this theory doesn't leave much information about culture or how they found wives within the same race.

2. Tower of Babel. (after the flood). Genesis 11:1-9. It says 2 things: (1) languages were created, and (2) people were scattered across the earth. It's likely Chinese when to China, Africans went to Africa, Europeans went to Europe, Indians to India, etc. And with the languages were cultures. And even though the Bible doesn't specifically say it, races could have been created at this time. I believe this is the most likely answer, because I don't think all races came from 8 people who were already included family. And race, culture, language, and location are all unique and interconnected.

God bless...

Shalom,

Thank you for your ministry, it's a blessing to me, I use your work every day and thank God for your talents being utilized for God's Kingdom and to reach people all over the globe with His Word, what a blessing!

My question is, does Genesis 11:10 mean that Shem was 98 years old when the flood occurred as according to Genesis 11:10 Shem was an 100 years old, and begat Arphaxad 2 years after the flood?

According to Gen 5:32 ... Noah was 500 years old : and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japhet.

According to Gen 7:6 ...Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

Which would mean that the boys were 100 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth or am I missing something?

Perhaps the 9 months in the womb and some other months while in the arc, which would add up to 2 years that are missing? Or how do I understand "begot" at the time of conception or at the time of birth? Please advise and thank you in advance,

God bless you,

Marta

I believe races/cultures/regions were created from Genesis 11:8-9.

It says got changed their languages and scattered them across the earth- that's 2 things spoken of. We also know a culture comes with a language, like Thai people speaking Thai language or Russians in Russia speaking Russia. Therefore, since we already know the language and location was scattered I think we can safely assume each was given a distinctive culture and a distinctive appearance too- Asians in Asia, Europeans in Europe, etc. It logically makes sense this is what created the races, even though the Bible does not specifically state it.

Romans 1:20

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

The Godhead speaking to each other, in Scripture:

Genesis 1:26, Genesis 3:22, Genesis 11:7

1 John 5:7, Book of John 10:30

Acts 17:27-30

The Godhead represents The Father, The Son of God, the Holy Spirit.

Comment: many people argue on this and this is a case of: Let God be true and every man a liar. Don't twist scriptures to validate your theories.

Jesus left heaven to come to earth and His name was the Son of man: fully God and fully human. He set aside his power to begin life as a baby, child and at age 30 he began his mission: to teach, make disciples, heal the sick, cleanse the leper's, cast out demons, doing good.

He was put on trial for blasphemy: saying he and His Father are ONE. He was judged and ordered to be crucified. He even saved one of the thieves he was crucified next to. Buried 3 days and then He walked out of the tomb! Many people went on record having seen him walking around after resurrection. It's recorded in the Bible and human history books. His ascension back into heaven was eye witnessed. Later, Jesus knocked Paul off his horse, blinded him but other people there HEARD an audible voice speak to Paul. It was Jesus!

Flash back to Pentecost: the Holy Spirit of God appears in the Upper Room as a roaring Wind and everyone receives His Baptism! It spills out into the street and everyone is hearing their own languages spoken! Many people were saved that day. He is spirit, so he is invisible; but unmistakably present in our world. He reveals Jesus to common people every day.

Life is EXCITING! Why would anyone turn down so great a salvation? Copy this down & preach it to family and friends.

Stop procrastinating!

Genesis 11:10-32

Hopefully this is helpful in your studies

Psalm 90,

Ecclesiastes 7:17

Exodus 20:12

God saw the end times at the beginning caused confusion amongst a united group that had planned to rebel against Him, the beginning of Antichrist. He still does it today. God help us be willing to learn from you that we will not miss heaven. Genesis 11 is an eye opener of what is to take place at the end of our life; the rebellious will inherit hell and the righteous will inherit eternity with God!

I believe that the Tower of Babel is the origin of the Antichrist. The World was "One". And then God came in to the picture and confused the languages of men, thus spread throughout the world. As each generation goes by, and we're talking centuries... until present day... Men have been / are working together as "unity" to become "One".... once again to create the New World Order by deception. But i pray, that when that time happens in these last days, I pray that me and my family will be taken up by Christ Jesus at the rapture event, and won't have to experience the short time tribulation period... of the system. Yes, Lord I believe that Christ Jesus is the one and only way, and who can save anybody and will bring to everlasting life anyone who believes in him.. Thy will be done oh Lord.

Mishael

The idea is not to hoard cash, but use it regularly instead of the cashless system. If people use it , it will take longer to lose it. The future of eftpos is an implant into the body "hand" or facial recognition "the fore head" . If anyone submits to this voluntarily, they give their person to the world system and no longer to God. They will become enslaved and marked, easily manipulated and tracked, they will no longer be free.

Mishael - I agree and non GMO seeds are the way to go. What the Lord created is right and not what mankind / satan messes with and destroys. right now it is very difficult to find places that even have seeds for sale and non gmo also.

Hosstools has seeds in stock and you can ask them about gmo. anything that says Heirloom means non gmo. they have lots of heirloom products. My old sources for seeds are either sold out or only selling to commercial concerns.

Things are bad and shall get worse. Any nation that tolerates the church of satan in their midst deserves what she is going to get. The US military has chaplains for the church of satan. I suppose their "gospel" is just be yourself....

Bob,

I agree. Seeds do sound more valuable than gold or silver. It makes me wonder now, if it's possible to obtain non-gmo seeds? I'll have to check that out.

Pond water purification machines.

It's going to be real hard for people to get medications they're going to need. We don't have the knowledge to look for plants that are medicinal. Folk medicine.

The other side of this is why not skip silly plans to survive the wholesale destruction of humans who refuse to worship Antichrist?

They're just living moment to moment.

People don't want to believe that God is going forth with end time plans. They just don't think about anything eternal.

I'm just praying that in heaven there will be no memory of all those that chose death, rather than life everlasting.

I guess the time to grieve is now. Maybe we'll be strong and preach Life to our families now.

It's hard to see crowds of hundreds of people rioting and know one day their voices will turn to weeping and regret. Too late to do anything.

The police that Antichrist employs won't care what their issues are. They'll have real bullets and use them. Those people are as blinded and deafened as the Jews that believe there is no way that God will abandon them to their choices. I believe the 144,000 will preach salvation and then that's the end of striving to save chronic unbelievers.

I want to be at the Wedding Supper of the Son of God! No more tears and painful heartache of loss. I want to hold my grandma's hand and my parents. My whole life has been defined by helping the helpless. My spirit yearns for release to live in joy and freedom.

Mishael, not to pick a fight or anything and you are right the antichrist can / will change the money.

in 1933 President Roosevelt made ownership of gold illegal. Prior to this the USA had legal gold coins and silver.

Silver coins were removed in 1965 and I remember them as a kid.

I bought 2 large candy bars for a silver dime. What do they cost today.

Yet can we eat gold and silver? They could make it illegal?

I suspect food seeds might be a better investment for the future.

I was wondering. If we take out all our cash and coins; couldn't Antichrist change the currency worldwide?

Would Gold and Silver bars be safer? Coins?

I'm not going to be here but I thought I would leave it for stubborn bonehead relatives :/

The internet is the new tower of Babel. Be careful how you use it. Its interesting that its called the world wide web and what is a web for?..to catch prey of course. Interesting too that one of the worlds largest tech companies has a symbol of a bight out of an apple. This symbolizes the choice of the knowledge of good and evil over being a child of God. The beast of Revelation could only enslave humanity by using the world wide web. Its what connects everyone together so be wary of your future choices and have a plan. Pay cash for everything and avoid the cashless society as much as possible. Can you imagine the eftpos charges by the banking system if there was no cash?..We would become slaves to a new world order. Resistance is not futile and a Godly choice for all who are wise and choose freedom.

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Comment:

Some things have to be believed in FAITH.

A Christian does not have to be drawn into debates about whether God is the Father, The Son is God or the third person of the Godhead is God the Holy Spirit. Each is separate but all 3 are God.

There's a lot written about debates and the fact you and (these) friends are debating the known Truth; tells me that none are reading their Bibles, Chapter after Chapter. You cannot "spot read " and learn any continuity of thought.

Try staying in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and see how they all agree in scripture. Which you are doubting.

This is a link. Really read it slow; word by word. John 3.

Back in front of Revelation; Read 1 John, 2 John, 3 John

If you still doubt, you may need to be sure you are born again. John 3. A person can agree mentally about salvation but fail somehow to receive the Holy Spirit; YOUR TEACHER.

These scriptures are of the Godhead speaking to each other. Click on the links:

Genesis 1:26

Genesis 11:7

1 John 5:7

R4Love The us in Gen 1v26 is the word Elohim ,or angles doing Gods work.Read also Gen11v7. Cheers.

How do we still have other races after the flood? The answer is because He has told us that throughout all of Scripture. God said that these nations of the earth would be against the nation of Israel for Israel's correction ( Isaiah 10:5), and that these nations would also be blessed at the end ( Isaiah 19:25).

On a side note; you commented concerning the Tower of Babel.

It is interesting to note that the dispersion of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their descendants is given in chapter 10, before the cause of their dispersion, which is recorded and explained in chapter 11.

This is an example of a figure of speech known as Hysterologia, (Hys-ter-o-log-i-a). This figure is used when something is put last, which ought, according to the usual order, come first. It is, in a sense, a transposition of connected events.

So then, the events of ( Genesis 10:5, 20, 31, 32) took place after the events of ( Genesis 11:1-9), and the events of ( Genesis 10:5, 20, 31, 32) took place because of the events of ( Genesis 11:1-9).

In other words, it was only after the "tower" ( Genesis 11:4) was built, and judgment was pronounced on the sons of Noah and others, that their language was then confounded, and the "GENERATIONS OF THE SONS OF NOAH" ( Genesis 10:1) were "scattered" ( Genesis 11:7, 8) from that general area into the different "isles" ( Genesis 10:5), "lands" ( Genesis 10:20), and "nations" ( Genesis 10:31), and "peoples" (Revelations 17:5) of the earth.

Hi DJ,

You said there's 2 accounts of creation in Genesis, but there's only one. It would take a lot of convincing to claim there's more than one.

Also, I believe scripture is clear that Adam is the first man created and Eve is the first woman. I also believe its possible God created other people outside of Eden, such as the land of Nod where Cain found his wife. Genesis 4:16-17.

However this is all irrelevant if you believe in the worldwide flood and only Noah and 7 others were saved, because everyone else on earth was wiped out. Some believe they were 'diverse' representing all races at that time, but I don't believe that.

I believe the Tower of Babel where God changed people's languages resulted in other identity and appearance and culture changes. Genesis 11:1-9. Verse 9 says he then scattered them upon the Earth, which makes logical sense how today ethic groups are largely in certain places: Chinese in China, Indians in India, Spanish in Spain, etc.

People who race onward and do not carefully read each word on the creation of Adam and Eve, will miss out on the greater revelation.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord formed (mould) man of the DUST of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 1:27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female. Genesis 2:22

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GOD DID NOT give Adam dominion over OTHER men or women!

Just like everyone else that has lived prior and now, OUR COLOR came from the same dust.

Genesis 11:1-9 is the account of the Tower of Babel; which was for evil by Nimrod. God changed the language of the people from one to many. The Lord scattered them all over the earth. Nothing is said further about races or colors. It happened back in the dust God used. Adams name in original text means, RED. That doesn't mean Adam was Native American.

You have full cause to be at peace with the color your ancestors were. Who knows what color Moses was, but he married a woman from Midian, which was predominantly dark skinned. His sister Miriam made a protest about it and God afflicted her with leprosy for a while. Numbers chapter 12.

God hates racism of any kind.

Before God the creator, no one has ever had a right to persecute people of color. If they were reading the Bible rightly, they would know that; in their hearts.

Satan has used his WILL to enter in and pervert the truth. People bought into it and it's been this color versus that color ever since.

God is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Spirit. Jesus is the Son of Man. (He has color)

Believe the Bible, pass it forward. I thank God we're not all the same color! :D

In reference to abortion: many scriptures on the unborn. You shall know the Truth and the truth will set you free.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life!

If humanity doesn't go right into pre-Revelation events, then we are in trouble on many fronts. This generation Aborted their future. Social security, Medicare, etc. will probably go belly up because those future tax payers and voters, were aborted. Already college tuitions are sky high because your fellow class mates were aborted. Now we have a stock market gone flatline or quivering.

People storm the streets and State capitals to demand that the killing continue. Clueless about how they are going to finance their old age.

What does a Holy God do about this?

Gays, Homosexual, transgenders are really clueless about Gods response to that. They don't care...or maybe they do?

All I know is that in Genesis, He created them male and female, and called it Very Good. There wasn't a maybe in the chapter; or a mistake. Whatever is on your birth certificate is what you are.

Genesis 2;24-25 is the first recorded marriage between Adam & Eve. See Psalm 45:10 also.

Genesis 6:4 the evil angels with Satan, married human women and made Giants.

Genesis 6:6,12, people had managed to corrupt humankind.

Genesis 6:7 God decides to destroy all his previous creation. He saved a God fearing remnant composed of Noah, his family, and animals on the Ark.

Genesis 11:Nimrod decides to build the Tower of Babel so he can have his house next door to God so he can flaunt his sin right in Gods face.

Genesis 11:7. The LET US (triune Godhead), confused the one language into many! Lol

People moved away to other countries so they could speak only their language. Easy fix for God.

It's the rock headed people who are sure they can overwhelm God unto giving up.

I don't think so. God's going to rapture born again people off this rock; and let this rock BURN. 2 Peter 3:10

Get born again NOW! Repent

June, I am sorrowful for the pain that you feel. People who race onward and do not carefully read each word on the creation of Adam and Eve, will miss out on the greater revelation.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord formed (mould) man of the DUST of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man (woman also later), became a living soul.

Genesis 1:27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God DID NOT give Adam dominion over OTHER men or women!!!!

Just like everyone else that has lived prior and now, our color came from the same soil.

Genesis 11:1-9 is the account of the Tower of Babel; which was for evil by Nimrod. God changed the language of the people from one to many. The Lord scattered them all over the earth. Nothing is said further about races or colors. It happened back in the soil God used. Adams name in original text means, RED. That doesn't mean Adam was Native American.

You have full cause to be at peace with the color your ancestors were. Who knows what color Moses was, but he married a woman from Midian, which was predominantly dark skinned. His sister made a protest about it and God afflicted her with leprosy for a while. Keep reading, it's all true.

Before God the creator, no one has ever had a right to persecute people of color. If they were reading the Bible rightly, they would know that; in their hearts.

Satan has used his WILL to enter in and pervert the truth. People bought into it and it's been this color versus that color ever since.

God is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Spirit. Jesus is the Son of Man. (He has color)

Believe the Bible, pass it forward. I thank God we're not all the same color! :D

SHARRON: your take on the Godhead is total error. You base what you think on the day of Pentecost.

I'm not going to belabor with this. In Genesis 1:26 God said LET US. He said it in Genesis 11:7..LET US, and again in Genesis 3:22. That was the Father, the Word (Jesus before incarnation) and God the Holy Spirit. They were talking together. Again, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (who is the Spirit of Christ). The Trinity or, the Triune Godhead. Same thing. Long ago someone said to me, The Father willed it, the Son spoke it and the Holy Spirit performed it.

God created

God moved

God said

God saw

God divided

God made

God set them

God blessed

God formed

God planted

God to grow

God took the man

God commanded

God caused

God Walking in the garden

God clothed them

God sent

God drove out

God is involved in every facet of our lives. Adam & Eve did wrong; in his mercy God made them clothing! It's not about tongues. It's about the GOSPEL of Jesus.

Explain "Let us" in Genesis 1:26 and again in Genesis 11:7. Also, "I and my Father are one and the same."

Nimrod had all the people who spoke one language, build the Tower of Babel, do Nimrod could shoot arrows at God. Then the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Ghost) said, LET US confound their Language that they may not understand one another's language. Eventually people migrated to other places so they had people speaking the same language. Genesis 11:1-9
People meant it for evil, but God modified it for good. One planet with countries of the language God gave them. Cultures, food, dress, religions; everything we have today, except for one change. This age has people urged to be bi or multi-lingual in schools. We have internet to learn other cultures and go there.
Teach Jesus to your kids.

If he always fails, then why is there so much sin in the world today?

Men can command the respect of God immensely if they are united with purpose. The conviction to continue Babel was so strong, God had to intervene. Am super impressed with their unity

Genesis 1:28
