Folks, Please Allow Me To “Set-The-Stage” If YOU Will!
Genesis 9:1
SO, GOD (GOD Almighty) BLESSED NOAH, AND HIS SONS (Shem, Ham, & Japheth), AND SAID TO THEM: BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY, AND FILL THE EARTH (Spread Out Across ALL The Earth)!” [Read Also, Genesis 9:7]
It’s The Last Part, Spread Out Across ALL The Earth; That, I Want To Concentrate On, Because It Will Be Germane To Our Understanding!
BUT First, Some Quick Genealogical Information!

The Name Of One WAS Peleg, Meaning – Division; For In His Days – The Earth Was Divided; THIS IS A Reference To The Tower Of Babel Incident (Read Genesis 11:1-9); Giving Us A General Time Frame (About 1770; That’s 1,770 Years – AFTER The Creation Of Adam, And ONLY 114 Years – AFTER The Great Flood) For The Tower Of Babel (Note: Noah > Ham > Cush > Nimrod)! WOW!
FROM THE TABLE OF NATIONS (Genesis 10:1-32)!
Genesis 10:8-10
Cush (Ham’s Son, Noah’s Grandson) Begot – Nimrod (To Rebel, OR Rebellion, AGAINST – THE LORD GOD Almighty); He (Nimrod) Began To Be – A Mighty One (One Who Magnifies Himself, Behaves Proudly, A Mighty Tyrant) On The Earth! He (Nimrod) Was A Mighty Hunter (Of Men) – Before (OR Better Translated – Standing AGAINST, OR Rebelling AGAINST) THE LORD (GOD Almighty); Therefore, IT IS SAID, “Like Nimrod, The Mighty Hunter (Of Men) – Before (OR Better Translated – Standing AGAINST, OR Rebelling AGAINST) THE LORD (GOD Almighty)!” And The Beginning Of His (Nimrod’s) Kingdom WAS Babel, Erech, Accad, And Calneh – In The Land Of Shinar!
MANKIND REBELS – AGAINST GOD ALMIGHTY (AND HIS COMMAND)!
Genesis 11:1-9
Now, The Whole Earth Had – One Language And One Speech (The Belief That Words Can Shape Reality)! And It Came To Pass, As THEY (Mankind) Journeyed – From The East; That, THEY (Mankind) Found A Plain – In The Land Of Shinar, And THEY Dwelt – THERE (IN The Land Of Shinar)! THEN, THEY Said To One Another, “Come, Let US Make Bricks, And Bake (Burn) THEM – Thoroughly!” THEY Had Brick – For Stone, And THEY Had Asphalt (A Naturally Occurring, Sticky, Black, And Highly Viscous Liquid OR Semi-Solid Form Of Petroleum) – For Mortar (Cement For Holding Building-Stones Together)! And THEY Said, “Come, Let US Build Ourselves – A City (Babel), And A Tower (The Tower Of Babel), Whose Top IS – In The Heavens (The Abode Of GOD Almighty); Let US Make A Name – For OURSELVES; Lest, WE Be Scattered Abroad – Over The Face Of The Whole Earth!”
BUT, THE LORD (GOD Almighty) CAME DOWN – TO SEE THE CITY AND THE TOWER, WHICH THE SONS OF MEN (Mankind) HAD BUILT! AND THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID, “INDEED, THE PEOPLE ARE ONE, AND THEY ALL HAVE – ONE LANGUAGE, AND THIS – IS WHAT THEY BEGIN TO DO; NOW, NOTHING THAT THEY PROPOSE (Of EVIL Purpose Of Wicked Men) TO DO WILL BE WITHHELD FROM THEM! COME, LET US (GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, And The Holy Spirit) GO DOWN, AND THERE (Babel) – CONFUSE THEIR LANGUAGE; THAT, THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND – ONE ANOTHER’S SPEECH!”
SO, THE LORD (GOD Almighty) Scattered THEM (Mankind) Abroad – From THERE (IN The Land Of Shinar), Over The Face Of ALL The Earth; And THEY Ceased Building The City (And The Tower)! Therefore, Its (The City’s) Name Is Called Babel (Confusion, OR Babylon, Babel Represents Human Pride And Rebellion Against GOD Almighty); Because THERE (Babel, Confusion, OR Babylon) – THE LORD (GOD Almighty) Confused The Language Of ALL The Earth; And From THERE (Babel, Confusion, OR Babylon) – THE LORD (GOD Almighty) Scattered THEM (Mankind) Abroad, Over The Face Of ALL The Earth!
Folks, They Rebelled AGAINST GOD Almighty, And HIS COMMAND (Spread Out Across ALL The Earth)! Notice, That THEY Said, Let Us Make A Name – For Ourselves! Meaning, WITHOUT GOD Almighty, OR In Spite Of GOD Almighty! And What Was THE END RESULT? GOD Almighty JUDGED Them; And THEY Still Ended Up Being Scattered Abroad Over The Face Of ALL The Earth!
LESSON: Rebellion AGAINST GOD Almighty Is NEVER A Good Idea! PERIOD!
