Kind of what I want to do tonight
is back up a little bit and get a little review on what we've
talked about so far on this supernatural realm, I'll call
it. Again, we've added a lot. And we're
building on foundational blocks, but just kind of giving that
new impact to it, because I think it's going to help us as we get
further in our study. So I brought my board up. One of the things that again,
been saved since I was 13, been a Sunday school teacher, a young
class teacher, been deacon, pastor 11 years now, and always been
told that gods were just, you know, gods and idols and all
that was nothing, that there was only God. and that there
was no other supernatural beings in that way. I mean, I knew there
was angels, I knew there was fallen angels, but I never thought there was
anything behind this. I knew there were demons, but I didn't know how it all
went together. And so I just appreciate the clarity that's
been coming here in these last days on understanding this as
I think these lines that have been blurred are becoming more
clear. So first thing I'm gonna put
is that there are supernatural beings. Let's see if I always nervous
when I write Children scratches so there are supernatural beings
and one of the terms that God or the Bible uses for them is
the little G gods I literally as we get further along, after
we get past what happens at Babel and shortly thereafter that,
we start going through the scriptures and we look at every time these
come up, at Egypt. It says blatantly that he defeats
the gods of Egypt. It's not like, oh, and I always
kind of heard that taught, like, well, you know, they were superstitious
and they worshipped the Nile and they worshipped the sun and
they worshipped, well, there was beings that would show themselves
and teach them this thing. Then God's like, I came down
and defeated them and we're going to see where, put it all in alignment as we
go through the Bible and look at these things. There, Baal. Baal is mentioned in the Bible
more than Satan as far as one of the enemies that they fight
against that is there. It's one that's coming around
again. as an opposition, it was like
Hitler took the throne room, which, just to put it in a little
light, Jesus Christ writes seven love letters to the churches,
right? And it's the seven letters in the book of Revelation, chapter
three and chapter four. All those churches were literal, real churches,
and he writes in this encouragement, one of them he says, Pergamos,
you're where Satan's seat is. He goes, I know where you are,
I pray for you, where it is where you have to battle this. And that's
where they had this throne room, you know, and they had this place
where, This false cult was worshiping. They took that and they moved
it to Germany in the 30s. We all know what happens there,
right? So I wonder where the Satan's
seat moved during World War II. It was out of there, so now it's
come back. And you know, the country that is on the rise,
that wants to make themselves the world player, and that the
Bible says would be a world player in the end times, is where all
these churches were located, and it's Turkey. And so all those
seven churches we're in, we call it Asia, but it's in Turkey there.
And then so we see that that's a little bit of foreshadowing
all that as well. So let's, again, as we draw clear
lines about who these gods are, where they come from, why they
are there, and what's, well, really it kind of helps clears
up a lot of the rub through the Bible. We'll see the battle lines
as they are drawn. One group, The supernatural being
is a we'll call it the divine God's Council So I usually only want to have
three minutes God's Council or God's assembly, it's a Psalm
82 and Psalm 82 one Mentions that and there's several
other places through the Bible. We've looked at that briefly
We'll look at it and fuller as we get down there later. Yeah
Well, he's supposed to be the the head you probably know him
better by his Roman name which would be Zeus And so he's like the father of
these gods. He's usually shown with lightning
bolts in his hands or like wheat in his hands. He's this war god. He's supposed to be this triumphant
one. Zeus, Jupiter, Apollo, he's kind of like the head one in
a sense. And so Jesus, we'll look at him
further as we go. But yeah, he's kind of like,
mm-hmm, out of all the other ones. And I just wondered how
that one just Yeah, that's one of many, but
yeah, he is kind of the one he has kind of seen as the Zeus
is the father of these other ones. And again, I mentioned
several names there for Bale and as it continues to change.
They're liars. They shift with the times. Oh,
everybody's doing that now? Yeah, I'll change my name to
that. And so they kind of change and adjust. And as different
cultures would come, the names would adjust. And again, also
at the Tower of Babel, the names get 70 different names from there. But we'll look at that as we
go fuller. Another one underneath, this would be angel or a messenger. So there's several. We also know
that there are watchers. And again, Daniel talks about
that. And they're down here and they
have some dealings with the earth and with humans as we'll look
at if I get going. I've got to go there. Okay. Another
one of the major revelations for me was that Eden was a mountain. I'm going to draw a picture.
It helps me think. So Eden was a mountain. Again, there's the valleys and
everything else. But it was a high place that he was. God would
have been at the higher and it would have been down. And there's
a valley, a place with water and rivers. And we looked at
the verses on that one. God was there. I mean, so Eden
was not just a place where he put Adam and Eve, but God met
there too. So I'm going to put that God
was in Eden. We know that he came down in the cool of the
day. kind of a clarifying point knowing that he was there. And
who else was there was also, because God was there, his counsel
was there too. Because where he is, his counsel
goes too. Seraphims, we saw last week,
were flying dragons or serpents with wings. I'm not going to
try to spell seraphims, but serpents with wings. It's a part of God's
counsel on earth, you know, that he put us down here to rule this,
where the supernatural beings were supposed to be in charge
of the heavenly things. And then he was going to make us in charge
of the earthly things. But we know that then that gets all
corrupted. The supernatural beings fell.
And if anything, they rebelled. they fell earlier than mankind
because that's when we have the deception coming from the serpent
in the garden. Man then fell, or was coerced
to fall, too, in the Garden of Eden, which we always look at
and we're going to look at here. Look at Genesis 3.15. Genesis
chapter 3. Genesis 3. Genesis 3 is a very
loaded verse. Genesis 3 and verse 15 says,
and I will put enmity, calls it strife, a division, between
thee and the woman, speaking to the serpent and the woman,
between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thy head, and
thou shall bruise his heel. To sum this up, it's a seed war.
He says there's gonna be a war, and we often, we call it the
seed war. I think. We understand seed's
offspring, you know, I'm my dad's seed, Levi's my seed, you know,
it's the offspring in that way and so it's an offspring. an offspring battle. So seed
war, offspring battle, there's going to be a battle or a fight
that's going on throughout the rest of the Bible, you know,
until it gets restored back as it was, you know, because we've
had this confrontation where supernatural beings have interfered
with mankind. Mankind falls in with them. They
now have this division that God says, hey, there's going to be
a war and I'm going to fix this. As a matter of fact, that's the
last part, it shall bruise thy head. He's gonna mean that's
utter defeat. You know when you're stomping
on someone's head and now shall bruises heal That's just gonna
be a little ankle bite, you know going that way as a serpent would
do and so he says ultimate victory It's gonna seem like you're winning,
but you're not but we're gonna stomp on your head And again, we see
that with the cross It seems like he's winning Christ comes
back to the resurrection and says now I'm gonna stomp on your
head Like you would a snake her seed is literal, right? We've
studied this before her seed. This is a literal we Many sermons
preached on this her seed the virgin birth woman doesn't have
the seed man has the seed But her seed is pointing towards
the virgin birth that a woman shall conceive. And the woman's
son will be our hero. He's going to be the one who's
going to rescue us. It's going to be the one that we need. And because of that, because
it's this different thing, this her seed, this virgin birth,
it's 100% God and 100% man. So he's divine. He's a divine
being. And that's yay us, because this
tips the scale in our favor. Matter of fact, it assures victory,
because now he's chosen. In this seed war between the
devil and his angels, the devil and his supernatural beings,
I choose man. I'm going to become a man. I'm
going to be the one who redeems them. I'm going to be the one who rescues
them. I'm going to be the one who comes and fights on their
side, and I'm going to stomp on your head. And so it points to this. Earth
is the battlefield or the war zone. And so a descendant of
woman will be, or descendant of mankind, will be the victor.
That's Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One. He's also called
the Prince. He has all these different titles.
And he's going to battle with Satan and his offspring. And
we see that ultimately in the book of Revelation. We see that,
but we also see it throughout the Bible. We have incursions
where those happen, where there's fights, there's battles, there's
skirmishes. And we see Christ has power over them when Christ
is on earth. He can speak to all the demons and they would
flee and they knew it. He has the victory. Verse 24 says of
Genesis 3, so he drove the man drove out the man and he placed
at the east of the Garden of Eden cherubims and a flaming
sword, which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of
life." And so the main reason I want to read that one is just
to let us know during this economy, it's different, or I'm going
to call it epoch. And during this epoch of time, it was different
because man could look and see an angel,
or a man could look and see a cherubim, a supernatural being. They could
see him. He could go and look and see him there. Now, we, the
Bible says that we can see angels, but it says it's unaware. We
usually don't know about it. We're like, afterwards, like,
was that an angel? I don't know. And so as we entertain angels
unaware, they can look and see. It was a different economy, different
epoch where they could see this. And so from the fall to the flood,
was one epoch. Here's what I'm trying to say.
E-P-O-C-H. And so I'll say all to the flood. That's normal, that you could
do those things. And we're going to see that angels
come down, and then they mess around with stuff. And so again,
as I've mentioned before, that the ancients thought three different
things made the world corrupt like it is today. Fall was the
first one. I'm going to put a star by these
and put it up here. Fall was one where man sinned.
That's one of the major troubles with the world. The fall brings
death. Fall brings the curse. Fall separates
us from God. Fall, we need an intercessor
now. Someone come to restore us, redeem us, so that we can
be purchased back and be bought into the family of God. Look
at Genesis 5. Genesis 5 and verse 15 is an interesting chapter we've gone
through before where it lists the names of the genealogies between Adam
and Noah. But I'm going to look at verse
15 where it says, And Mahalalel lived sixty and five years and
begat Jared. And Mahalalel lived, after he
begat Jared, eight hundred and thirty years and begat sons and
daughters. And all the days of Mahalalel
were eight hundred and ninety and five years, and he died.
And Jared lived 162 years and he begat Enoch. So there's a
time here where Jared is born and Jared's name means descent
or shall come down. We think that it was during this
time where angels came down and they started to mess around. They started to do what they
weren't supposed to do. They are corrupting. Again, the
angels corruption or the angels fall here. They took wives of
whomever they wanted in Genesis 6. They impregnated them. Look at Genesis 6 verse 4. We'll
see what God says. Genesis 6 and verse 4. Genesis 6-4 says, there were
giants on the earth in those days, and also after that. So
it happened once, it happens again afterwards. And it doesn't
say how many times afterwards. We'll look at that more in the
future weeks. He says, but when the sons of
God came, now they're the supernatural beings, when the sons of God
came in unto the daughters of men and they bared children to
them, and the same became mighty men, gibbereem, which were of
old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness
a man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of
the thoughts of his heart was on evil continually. And it repented
the Lord that he made man on the earth, and it grieved him
at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and
the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air, for it repenteth
me that I have made him. But Noah found grace in the eyes
of the Lord." These are the generation of Noah. These are the generations of
Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect
in his generation and Noah walked with God. Again, we've talked
about this perfectness of Noah. It's not that he was sinless.
It's not that he was special in that way. It was that he was
not He was 100% man. He was not corrupt. Because during
the Genesis 6 incursion where the angels come down and begin
to corrupt man's seed line... That's part of the war. That's
part of the battle. It's part of this seed war. If
it has to be a descendant of mankind who's going to come and
redeem and defeat Satan and his minions, man, if I can corrupt
the gene pool, if I can just make it where there are no 100%
men, Satan wins. And so he comes down and they
start mixing seed. And so you have someone that is not 100%
man. We would call them hybrids. human
hybrids that were corrupt in that way. We see that there were
giants and then there's lesser ones as we see as time goes on.
But if there is no 100% humanity, there's no Messiah to come, there's
no Redeemer to come, there's no men left. So now Noah is found
pure, as are his sons, as are his son's wives. It would do
no good if he took corrupt wives after that. So they are there
to keep the gene pool good. And he goes and he grabs animals
that are fine. So fallen angels are seen as bringing perversion
to mankind. And so that's the second part
of what the ancients would see, the falling angels, perversion. that they
took man and took the fall and the death and the corruption
that we already had and they corrupted it even worse. It's not recorded
in scripture here but it's hinted at when it says I have to get
all the animals, I have to get all this. Man's thoughts are on evil
continually. We saw a few weeks ago when I
had a look at some accounts in the book of Enoch that the angels
taught them the perverse technology, not that technology's bad, it's
that they were, they taught it to defile mankind. They taught
drugs, you know, to use drugs in that way. They taught the
implements of war, you know, to teach man warfare in this
way. They taught man, cannibalism,
to eat man's flesh. They taught vampirism to teach
drinking the blood and eating the blood and those things. They
taught gene splicing, mixing kinds and things together. As
a matter of fact, some theorize that the dinosaurs were part
of that. While we had these big giant
monsters, is because the angels came down and perverted what
was there. I'm not saying I agree with that. I'm saying that that's
what they say. The Book of the Giants, which was another book that they
found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, says that. It says that the angels
came down, messed with the animals, and made monsters. They made
Godzilla, King Kong, Mothra, I don't know. But they made monsters
out of what was there to the point where God's like, all flesh
is corrupt. And as we just read in Genesis 6, I've got to wipe
out the birds. I've got to wipe out this. I've got to wipe out
that. I've got to start it over. It's all perverse. I've got to
turn it around. I've got to get this right. And
so gene splicing was one of the things that they did. The cutting
of roots and mixing all these things together. They cross-bred.
They mixed kinds. Now, look at Genesis 1. Genesis 1 and verse 21. Just as an example, Genesis 1,
21 says, and God created great whales and every living creature
that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after
their kind, and every wing fell after his kind, and God saw that
it was good. We see that God in Genesis 6, or Genesis 1, wants
everything to reproduce after their kind. Birds are to be with
birds. Beasts with beasts. People with
people. And so he wants it this way.
He wants kind after kind. And again, God uses the term kind
The man uses the word species, the speciation. That's a new
invention. The Bible doesn't know anything
about that. It says kind, animal kind. There's the horse kind,
cat kind, dog kind. They're all that way that they
can all interbreed. Rabbit kind. And then we have now speciated
it out, but there's only so many kinds. The Creation Museum, you
see a good example of that, one of our favorite things there.
In the Garden of Eden, when you look at the cat, you can see
he looks a little bit like a lion, a little bit like a tiger, a
little bit like a puma. He looks like he's got all the
cat kinds kind of hidden in there that they can then speciate out. Same thing with the horse kind.
Is he a zebra? Is he a horse? Is he a donkey? He's got all those
horse kinds in there. As a matter of fact, you can
go see a zorsh. They have one in their zoo, a
horse zebra hybrid that is there. Ligers, lion, tiger. They can mate because that's
right. They're their cat kind. And so we see those examples.
And that's what God has established. Look at verse 25 and says and
God made the beast of the earth after his kind and the cattle
after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the earth
After his kind and God saw that it was good. That's good. That's
what I want Look at Genesis 6 18 Genesis 6 18 we have God's got a hold of Noah. He's
told him, I'm gonna flood the world. I need you to build a
big aircraft carrier, pretty much, put it in your backyard
and bring in all of these animals and preserve them. So Genesis
6, verse 18 says, but with thee will I establish my covenant
and thou shalt come into the ark and thy sons and thy wife
and thy sons' wives with thee and every little thing of the
flesh, two of every sort shall bring into the ark and keep them
alive with thee. They shall be male and female,
of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of
every creeping thing of the earth after his kind. Two of every
sort shall come in unto thee to keep them alive, and take
to thee and to thee all the food that is eaten, and thou shalt
gather it to thee, and it shall be food for thee and for them.
Thus did Noah, according to all that God commanded him, so he
did. And we know he does that. And again, you can go to the
Ark Encounter, you can go to the Creation Museum, and you can read Answers
in Genesis magazine. And I've got books back there,
too, that go in great detail. How many kinds might there be?
Would they all fit on the boat? How would that be? And so it
all fits, it all works, and it all stacks on there if you go
with the biblical model. Again, as far as insects, they
said take everything that takes in air through the nose. They
are exoskeletons. They can float on trees and logs and everything
else. And so God's allowed for all
that. And you see, you know, like atheists are bringing up
a lot about a dolphin. It's like it didn't breathe through
its nose. It breathed through a hole in its head. So just leave it in the water. You don't
need to have fish tanks on there. And so he had all these different
things and all these arguments. Amtris in Genesis addresses all those.
So after the flood, God gives laws. Remember my dad teach me? Laws are there for a reason.
He usually said, some idiot did something stupid, and so they
made a law. So you don't do that again. So that's probably about
true. Don't jump off a balcony, or
don't go from balcony to balcony. I'm sure that's a law in Florida,
because every spring break, kids die jumping from balcony to balcony
trying to do that. So I'm sure there's a law you're not allowed
to do that. You stop because there's a law, because somebody
just ran into each other. You're supposed to yield and
give right away. There's a law because people didn't yield, and it caused
accidents. And so God gives laws. about
not mixing kinds. Look at Deuteronomy. Because
he says, I don't want this to happen again. I don't want us
to go down this path. And so then God establishes the
law after the flood. Deuteronomy. Chapter 22. Deuteronomy 22 verse 9 says,
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diverse seeds, lest the
fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown and the fruit of thy
vineyard be defiled. I want you to don't mix the kinds.
Don't make an apple grow on a tomato plant. I don't want that. He
says I want apples to be apples. I want tomatoes to be tomatoes. Sorry, at Walmart you can buy
a grapple. It's an apple that tastes like a grape. It's kind
of tasty. Shame on us for having that. But God's like, no, grapes
can be grapes, apples can be apples. I don't want that. And
I think it's to keep it pure. God's built in protection. He's
made I'm sure the God's perfect wheat could withstand blight,
could withstand insects, could withstand anything, because he
put all kind of diversity in there. You know, he's made it adjustable
in its natural scent. We speciate it out. We're the
ones that take it. I worked one summer detasseling
corn, you know, a hot, miserable job going through and pulling
the top of the tassel out. I think they would do six rows with a
tassel, six rows without a tassel. That way, it would keep that
grain It would all get pollinated just
by a very few, and it kept it pure, and it kept it strong in
that way. They can kind of guarantee how tall it would be, what kind
of air it would produce, and they would guarantee it in that way. Now
we've crossed the line to where we have GMO, genetically modified
organisms, where we go in there and we say, well, you know, let's
prevent it against, well, we're going to design it to go, the
first ones were Roundup. This will be resistant to this chemical.
And so we can squirt this chemical. It'll kill everything but the
corn. And so they make it to do that, so they'll make a bigger
yield. And we've been eating this stuff forever, and it's
like, Kind of makes you wonder. Well, it doesn't make us wonder
anymore. We see where it's going and we see the path that it's
going down as we've modified everything. As we put in, I think
they put in jellyfish genes and tomatoes so they won't freeze
and we have all this different diversity going on. God said
don't do that. Look at Leviticus 18. Back in chapter two, book or
two, Leviticus. And Leviticus 18, he gives us
laws. Again, he gives us some laws because it's happened in
the past. And again, he reminds us these, you're not going to
do what these other nations do. Leviticus 18, verse 22. He says, thou shalt not lie with
mankind as with womankind is abomination. It's God's law,
don't do that. I don't want, so we've looked
at that one before, verse 23. Neither shalt thou lie with any
beast to defile thyself therewith. Neither shall any woman stand
before a beast to lie down thereunto. It is confusion. God says, I
don't want that. Don't mix. It's a violation of
nature, is what the word confusion means. It also means perversion.
It says it's profane. We call it bestiality. He's like,
don't do that. We'll look at another verse,
what he says in greater detail about it in a minute. Verse 24,
he says, defile not yourselves in any of these things, for in
all these the nations are defiled. He's like, that's what the rest
of the world does, because at this point in time, When Moses is having
to write this, it's after the flood for a while and he's preparing
them to go into the promised land. He's like, that's what
those perverts did. And again, in that area is where
you have giants and that area is where you have Satan laying
down a battlefield. He doesn't have to pollute the
whole world. Oh, the children of Israel are going to Cana.
Let's pervert that. Let's make it horrible. Let's
make an army there that they can't get past. And so God's
like, don't do what they did in the past. Don't do what they're
doing there. And so he makes these laws. Laws are there for
a reason, because I don't want that. I don't want you mixing.
Verse six, Leviticus 18 says, and none of you shall approach
to any of his near kin to him to uncover their nakedness. I
am the Lord. Again, King James way of St. Don't do that. You
don't have this relation with your mom, or with your dad, or
with your niece, or nephew, or son, or daughter, or aunts, or
uncles. He's like, don't, because then you're going to mess it,
and you're messing things up. I don't want you to do that.
And he calls it a perversion. Matter of fact, he goes into great detail throughout
the chapter. Look at verse 21. And thou shalt
not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech. Neither
shalt thou profane the name of God. I am the Lord. Don't do
child sacrifice. Don't you worship these false
gods, because this is things that the angels taught them.
for the flood. He taught them the child of sacrifice.
He taught them how to do these things. So don't do that. Look
at Leviticus 19 verse 19. Leviticus 19, 19 says, ye shall
keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let cattle gender
with a diverse kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field
with mingled seed. Neither shall a garment mingled
of linen or woolen come upon thee. I want you to keep it straight.
I want you to keep things together. I want you mixing things together.
And there's a lot of reasons behind some of that, and that's
usually with witchcraft. And so he says don't, with wearing
the material in that way, he says don't do it, no mixing.
Look at verse 26. You shall not eat anything with the blood,
neither shall you use enchantments, nor observer of times." Again,
angels who taught to drink the blood, or to eat the blood, and
to do those things. He says, you're not to do that.
As a matter of fact, it becomes a very Jewish thing, where you drain
all the blood. We're not to have that life in
it. And so he says, we're not to do that. All angels are taught
that. Don't use enchantments. That's basically a witchcraft,
a summoning, trying to call down other things for information.
You don't do that. We don't do that. You talk to me. I am your
one that you talk to. Not observe time. That's like
astrology, where they were like, oh, the stars are aligned, and
that means it's going to influence you, and you're going to do this,
and this, and the other thing, because that's another thing that the
angels taught them. We're not supposed to do that. Again, in
the blood, there's vampirism. You don't do that. Again, it's
angel teaching that was corrupting and profaning mankind. And God
says, I don't want you to be that way. And so he's teaching
them to be different. Leviticus 20, verse 15. And again, Leviticus goes through
thing after thing. I'm hitting the highlight ones. Leviticus
20 and verse 15. 15 says, and if a man shall lie
with a beast, he shall surely be put to death, and he shall
slay the beast. And if a woman shall approach
unto any beast, and to lie down thereunto, thou shalt kill the
woman and the beast. They shall surely be put to death,
their blood shall be upon them. God's like, I don't want them
to live. I don't want this going on. I don't want that happening.
You kill them, you stop it, it is to be done. that we have chimeras
in the United States where they take pigs and animals and mix
the genes together. So you have a human man, a human
pig embryos. You have a human pig growing
and that's just the ones they're telling us about. Who knows what
else they have out there. And so we're crossing this line
again. This was the stuff that when we look at in the Bible
that we never really address because you're like, it's just weird. It's just perverse.
You also see accounts of these in the news as well, you know,
without the technology. I think you know what I mean.
And so you see those things going on, abuse of animals in that
way. Now we live in a day and age where Technology does this. If I had told you this story
seven years ago about mixing genes and pigs and humans together,
you'd be like, you've read Island of Dr. Moreau, you're H.G. Wells,
what are you, sci-fi guys? It would have been fantastic,
but now it's common. You can get a CRISPR gene thing
where they splice genes and they start... And they say, it's pretty
affordable to do all this. And they're starting to mess
with stuff they ought not mess with. And so where God says,
don't do it. Last time he did it, he said,
I had to bring a flood. He also said, in the last days, it would
be like the days of Noah. Well, we're messing with everything
that they were doing. And so it's kind of shocking in that
way. That's why I think we need to look at all this. So God gave
rules. Don't do this. It's wrong. It's
a sin. And the third thing. that they
blame the ancient world and blame the fall of mankind was Babel. The tower of Babel. That's where
we're heading to. We won't get very far here tonight,
but look at Genesis chapter 10. Genesis 10 is our introduction
to Someone I've already mentioned
in another context, but here he is by a different name. And many think he's alluded to in
the end as well. Genesis chapter 10, we have the
generations of Noah. Talks about his sons and how
they go. And we have the Hamites go south, the son of Ham. Shem, they're called the Orientals,
that's the Jewish line. That's where you get anti-Semitism
that comes from the Shem line. It turns into, you get your Indians,
your Asians, your Chinese, Japanese that go that Asian line. Jephthah goes more European,
it goes all north that way. It's European, it goes up into
the islands, the British Isles. Chances are most of us are from
the Jephthah line in that way. And so he tells how these branches
are going out between these three sons. And how we get again the
nations of the world and we'll come back and look at detail
in the future. It's a little bit This is because
And we'll look at the it tells us about the Tower of Babel and
he tells us about the nations first But we'll see in context
how it goes later, but look at verse 8. It says in Cush And
this is out of the Sons of Ham. And Cush begat Nimrod, and Nimrod,
he began to be a mighty one in the earth. There's a lot hidden
in the English there that's in the Hebrew, but we'll look at
more later. So verse nine says, he was a
mighty hunter before the Lord, wherefore it is said, even as
Nimrod, the mighty hunter before the Lord, and the beginning of
his kingdom was Babel, and Ach, and Achad. and the land of Shinar. Out of the land went forth Asher,
and he built Nineveh, and the city of Rehoboth, and Encala."
And so we have another son. But again, we're going to have
two protagonists. This is the origin, where we
actually get Babel and Assyria out of, and come down from it.
Again, now Babylon's not yet. Babylon's much later, but we're
going to look at Babel first, which kind of comes from it.
Chapter 11 verse 1 and Nimrod is the one who builds Babel and
so that's why I point to him. He is the he is the The head
he's the one who does this Again he's famous man, then he's
a famous man now a matter of fact in the stars if you have
the Orion's belt, right? It goes back to Nimrod. He's
the giant hunter a lot of times. He's called the hunter And so
he's marked in the stars as this big giant in the sky that is
there. His name, Nimrod, means rebellion,
a rebellious one. He is rebelling against God.
He's rebelling what God told him to do. They told him to disperse.
He says, let's build cities and stay together. So he's the rebellious
one. He is the leader of the pact
of what is going on in Genesis 11. So Genesis 11 verse 1 says,
and the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. Again,
I would think that this is an epic. He had the fall to the
flood was an epic. And I think from Noah to Babel
is an epic, where they all had one language. The world had one
language. You can go around the world and talk and converse with
anyone. I don't know if there was like a Kentucky version of
whatever they were saying. And they said, y'all. But I'm
sure there was something like the northern version, kind of
like we have English and all those different versions, possibly. But from
then Babel to Jesus is a different epic, how things are going on,
or economy. And then from Jesus to the rapture,
I think we're in another one. But this one, they are all of
one language. And God sees that as what is harmonizing them,
and that he's going to go after it. And that's how they separate
them. But I don't want to get into that too much here tonight,
because I can't do any justice. I just kind of amazingly wanted
to go through a review of where we were and why we're up to this.
It's because the ancients see these three things in the past
of what makes the world perverse as it is. The fall and the garden,
which we all would have said anyway. The fallen angels and
the perversion that they taught to mankind, which we see effects
of too, but we just always kind of related it back just to the
fall and that man is perverse. But that we had help. We had
a kickstart in that. And then the Tower of Babel.
We're going to see what spills out of that to today and how
that all comes from. But that's going to be where
we get the little G gods in our world today comes from this event
in Babel and what God does after that. And so we'll pick that
up there next week unless we do something different. But that's
the plan so far. I do appreciate you all being
here and I just pray that you have a good week in the Lord
and again study on these things, question me, oppose me, that's
fine, don't take it as I say it, just look at it and see.
I'm just trying to go through the Bible and how they put it out
in that way to give us an overall arching understanding of what
is going on. If anything this magnifies Jesus all the more
when we see what he did on the cross. It was better than we
did. He not only saves mankind, he defeats the fallen angels
and what's going on, and then all the shenanigans in Babel,
and he's restoring it back to what it was supposed to be, and
so it just makes him all the greater as we look at it all
together. All right, we'll close in prayer now.
