Tag Index

Each Bible class is assigned a few keywords or phrases called tags. This is simply an index or listing of all those tags. It is not an exhaustive index built from all the words in the titles, descriptions and transcripts. For that, you need to use the search function on the main menu.

Messages with tag - Tower of Babel

07.2 - Lesson 07, Part 2: Fill the Earth - The Fourth and Fifth Divine Institutions; Global Amnesia; Tower of Babel
Tuesday, November 07, 2023
by Robert Dean
Passage: Genesis 1-11
Series: Interlocked (2023)
Duration: 1 hr 21 mins 59 secs

The Bible teaches that we are all one race. So where does racism come from? Listen to this message to hear about a time when God intervened in human history and scattered the people of the earth by confusing their language. Find out that Nimrod was a mighty world leader who rebelled against God and led the people in building the Tower of Babel. See that racism came from the sin natures of people who made derogatory comments about people who differed from themselves. Learn that God’s desire is for all people to seek Him and our mission, as believers, is to reach everyone with the gospel.

Make sure you also check out the additional slides regarding Apeman and that the Chinese probably came from Ham. That information is available in the Text: notes link below.

During this Bible class Dr. Dean recommended the following website articles:

Genesis According to the Miao People

The Discovery of Genesis by C H Kang and Ethel R Nelson

Genesis and the Mystery Confucius Couldn't Solve by Ethel R Nelson and Richard E Broadberry

10 - Babel – Implications and Evidence of Early Advanced Culture—Part 2
Friday, March 18, 2016
by Ray Mondragon
Passage: Genesis 10-11
Series: 2016 Chafer Theological Seminary Bible Conference
Duration: 1 hr 19 mins 46 secs

Most world almanacs list 193 independent countries in the world. Linguist John Oller Jr. claims that there are 6912 distinct languages with 94 different language families in the world today. Where did all these nations and these many languages come from? The answer to this question is unknown to the secular world. Their best explanation is that all these must have come as a result of many years of evolutionary development. But the best answer is given to us by revelation, the account of Babel in Genesis 11.

The secular world does not view the account of the Tower of Babel as historical. Even most believers do not consider Babel as important as other major events, particularly in the book of Genesis. However, like the Flood and the Fall of mankind, the impact of Babel continues to influence our world even today. In fact, Babel has far-reaching implications. Babel explains the origin of national entities as well as our struggles to communicate with those from other cultures. I am reminded of this each year that I go to Ukraine to teach. Without a translator, I am close to useless there.
