Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Further Thought: Read Ellen G. White, “The Tower of Babel,” Pages 117-124, in Patriarchs and Prophets. “They decided to build a city, and in it a tower of such stupendous height … These enterprises were designed to prevent the people from scattering abroad in colonies.

Thursday: The Redemption of the Exile

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Read Genesis 11:8-9,  and Genesis 9:1; compare with Genesis 1:28. Why is God’s dispersion redemptive? God’s design and blessing for humans was that they would “multiply, and fill the earth” (Genesis 9:1, NKJV; compare with Genesis 1:28, NKJV). Against God’s plan, the builders of Babel preferred to stick together as the same people. One reason they said they wanted to build … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: “Let Us Go Down”

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Read Genesis 11:5-7 and Psalm 139:7-12. Why did God come down to the earth here? What was the event that motivated this divine reaction? Ironically, although the men were going up, God had to come down to them. The descent of God is an affirmation of His supremacy. God will always be beyond our human reach. Any human … Continue reading –>

Read Genesis 11:1-4. Why were the people of “the whole earth” so keen to achieve unity? The phrase “the whole earth” refers to a small number of people, those alive after the Flood.

Monday: The Genesis Genealogy

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

The chronological information about Noah’s age makes us realize that Noah serves as a link between the pre-Flood and the post-Flood civilizations. The last two verses of the preceding story (Genesis 9:28-29) take us back to the last link of the genealogy of Adam (Genesis 5:32). Because Adam died when Lamech, Noah’s father, was 56 years old, Noah … Continue reading –>

Sunday: The Curse of Ham

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Read Genesis 9:18-27. What is the message of this strange story? Noah’s act in his vineyard echoes Adam in the Garden of Eden. The two stories contain common motifs: eating of the fruit and resulting in nakedness; then a covering, a curse, and a blessing. Noah reconnects to his Adamic roots and, unfortunately, continues that failed … Continue reading –>
