How are you all doing
my dear blog readers? May the grace and mercy of Yahweh be unto you. It is
another week to get blessed. In the last blog, you were informed of the notice
given by Yahweh to Noah and his family in Genesis chapter 8. You were informed
that Yahweh owed no man any notice but he chose to relate with them because he
made them. In the book of Genesis chapter 9, you were also informed of how
Yahweh rolled out his plans on humans by making Noah got drunk and uncovered
himself while sleeping. Ham mocked the nakedness of his father but his 2 other brothers
(Shem and Japheth) covered the nakedness of their father by walking backward.
May be he thought it was funny, but it was not. To cut the long story short,
curse was placed on children of Ham and it still works on them until today. You
may claim that Christ Yeshua has freed you from curse. You are correct, but
that is of the sin through Adam and Eve. Not from how people have been
organized to live by Yahweh in this current eon. It was a deliberate act of
Yahweh to make it happen. For more detail on this blog, please go back to read
series 7.
In this week, I like to peep into chapter 10 and take a more look into
chapter 11.
In chapter 10, it can be inferred from it that the children of Noah had
many sons and daughters. Their names may sound right to many of you that are familiar
with this chapter. For example, children of Japheth included Gomer; Magog;
Madai; Javan e.t.c. Children of Gomer included Ashkenaz; Riphath and Togarmah; Children
of Javan included Tarshish; Kittim e.t.c. Children of Ham included Cush; Put;
and Canaan. Children of Cush included Havilah; Sheba; Nimrod e.t.c. Out of
these names, many tribes and tongues were created. You can see a couple of the
above names on world ancient maps. By the way, are words like Gomer and Magog
familiar to you? You can see them in the book of Revelations. These names have
a lot to do towards the end of eon 3 that we are.
The plan of Yahweh was to make children of Noah spread all over this
world. This was pointed out in Genesis
9:1. However, I believe part of chapter 10 supposed to be in chapter 11 because
when the scripture mentioned that children of Noah were scattered around the
world with different tongues, it triggers the events that happened in chapter
11. Do you like to know the events? I bet you are, especially if you have never
read it in your bible. By the way, I am planning to create a project in the
nearest future on a very huge topic concerning "One-World
Government". It promises to be a blessing to everyone. The real title
will not be released by now because of possible piracy.
Now, to chapter 11 of the book of Genesis (11:1). It can be inferred
from this chapter that humans were creative, lived together in a place called
Shinar. Shinar is in the eastern part of Garden of Eden. In those days, the
scripture made it known that people had Nimrod as their leader. He was a great
hunter before the Lord. According to an historian, Nimrod was politically
powerful. He led many people away from worshipping Elohim Yahweh that Noah and
children of Noah were worshipping in their days. He was very influential. So,
he encouraged people to live together and create a symbol of togetherness. What
might this be? It was the tower of Babel.
The idea behind building this structure was to avoid possible flood
from Yahweh and have a one world government. Yahweh knew this would happen. He
was waiting for the right time to act. One thing you must remember is that all is
of God (2 Corinthians 5:18). He knew he had to bring his plan into fruition. What
was his plan? Let me remind you. In the book of Genesis 1:28, Yahweh pronounced
blessing with commandments that humans should be fruitful and increase; fill
the earth and subdue it. How would humans fill the earth if they had lived
together? It might take longer time to achieve this, but Yahweh knew what to
do.
What did he do it?
He put it into the minds of people with their leadership chaired by
Nimrod to build a tower to reach Elohim Yahweh and to avoid flood (as mentioned
earlier). Then, in Genesis 11: 5-8 point out that:
Ø He descended down
from heaven to see the activities and courage of humans on erecting a tower.
Ø He acknowledged
that humans were speaking in one language. Therefore, they were in one accord.
This is a display of relative sense of Yahweh. He acted as humans.
Ø He acknowledged (in
relative sense) that humans carry out their plans when they are determined.
This is also the manifestation of his blessings on humans in Genesis 1:28.
Humans were fruitful (productive) and subdued (manage) the earth (resources
available).
Ø He called on his
son Yeshua on what should be done. Remember, they were the only two in
creation, not three. He said, let us descend and disintegrate their language so
than each man may not understand whatever his associate/neighbor says.
Ø In verse 8, the
plan he informed his son about was carried out. Yahweh knew that by disintegrating
the language of humans, they would not be in one accord to continue to build
the tower.
Ø In addition,
Yahweh knew that by disintegrating human's language, they would be forced to
move away from each other and therefore fill the earth. This was his plan from
the beginning. He fulfilled it at the right time!
Since people in those days could not speak one language, they looked
for those who could understand them and formed their colonies in various places
around the word. Thus, Yahweh achieved his plans on humans in eon 3.
In conclusion, you would observe that three powerful things had
happened in Yahweh's plans for eon 3 according to the book of Genesis:
1. In chapter 9, he organized the hierarchy of how humans supposed to
live on earth. He made some people serve other people.
2. In chapter 11, he made people speak different languages. For an
example, if my English writing is not good enough, do not blame me (lol)!
3. In the same chapter 11, he made people move around the world. So,
Yahweh got his plan carried out.
Hardly can some tribes (especially children of Ham) in this world
communicate effectively if they do not learn how to speak or write in languages
of the children of Japheth and Shem.
Up till now, Yahweh is still carrying out his plans one step after
another until this eon ends in absolute sense.
To him be all the glory. He is always in control of the affairs of
humans in this world! He does things according to his pleasure (Revelation
4:11).
Amen.
Continue to stay tuned.
