Let's Talk Scripture

Now that God has directed Noah to depart from the ark and Noah re-dedicates creation, God makes a covenant with Noah and all of creation to never destroy the whole world again by water. We also notice that man's dietary restriction has been changed from vegetarian to omnivore. And now all animals are fearful of us for fear they may be eaten.

Now that the flood has ended and life begins to return to normal, it is interrupted by a prophetic curse by Noah on one of his sons. What does this mean? Are "Black" people the descendants of Canaan? And are Black people cursed? Was it Scripturally justified to enslave Blacks based on how certain southern Americans interpreted this passage? Join me for all this and more!

Genesis 10 deals with the separation of the sons of Noah into families and nations of peoples. It presupposes the events of Genesis 11 (Tower of Babel) and gives a listing of the 70 distinct nations that will be created from this event.

Genesis 10 contains the lists of nations and races, according to their languages that came from the three sons of Noah. But how did we get them all? How did the nations come about? All of this is answered in our study of the Tower of Babel incident and God's response to Nimrod's rebellion.

We move on now from God's concentrating on the Seed-line to a particular man/family (Abraham). Abraham is the continuation of the Seed-line, and the further development of God's desire for a holy people - the Israelite nation. So, here we deal with the call of "Abraham" and God's purpose for the calling. Abram departs and arrives in the land of Canaan. The first thing he sees is the evidence of their idolatry.

Abram has demonstrated great faith by leaving his father's household, obeying God and going to the Promised Land. His faith is indeed great, but he/it is still not what God desires it/him to be. So, God gives Abram his first test and he fails miserably. What does this teach us?

Now that Abram has returned back to the Promised Land from his stay in Egypt, he discovers that God provides for him there. He repents and continues life with his wife and nephew Lot until there is disagreement about the land resources. Abram encourages Lot to separate from him and offers him his choice of the land. Lot chooses the plains of Sodom, as he is looking out for his material prosperity. But will this backfire on him down the road?

After Lot separates from Abram, God renews His covenant promise with Abram. However, this time He expands it to INCLUDE Abram himself (Genesis 12:7). However, by the time Abraham dies this promise remains unfulfilled. So what does this mean? This is the principle of resurrection that is taught in the Old Testament.

After Lot departs from Abram, there is a war of the kings in the Transjordanian area. Lot is captured and Abram is determined to save him. What will become of the promise (seed)? That is, what happens if Abram dies in battle? What does this say to the future descendants of Abraham?
