Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division):

1.The Sons of Noah’s Sons: Japheth, Shem and Ham (Gen 10)

Principle: 

2.The tower of Babel, the descendants of Shem and the family of Terah (Gen 11)

Principle:  God divides to multiply.

 

Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):

God scattered Noah’s sons’ clans scattered at Babel; Abram’s father, Terah dies at Harran.

 

Aim (“To Cause My Audience To…” Know, See, Desire etc.):

TCMATK God places importance on people to spread out, be fruitful and multiply (spiritually).

 

Application (not yes or no question.  Meant to bring about heart change):

1.Where might God be calling you to take your testimony and how will you take it there in this time of quarantine?

2.What needs to become less in your life so you are able to focus on serving Jesus and making disciples?


Gen 5:32 says after Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Gen 9:24 says Ham is Noah’s youngest son.

Gen 10:21 says Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth (fn states or “Shem, the older brother of”)

Gen 11:10 says 2 years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old

Google: 4 years from planting to 1st bottle of wine.  2 years to fruit.

When you try to expose people, that’s a cursed way to live.  Cover others’ sins.

 

Gen 10

Man didn’t want to scatter.  At the Tower of Babel, God confused language and scattered people.

Jesus wanted early church to spread.  Persecution scattered the church.

We ought to do things God’s way.

Sons of

Gomer – Celtics

Magog – Scythians, Tartars, Ezekiel 38 Russia

Madai – Medes and Persians

Javan, Tubal, Meshek – part of Russia (Tubal & Meshek are towns(?) today)

Europe is spiritually dark today.

Ashkenaz – Germans (group of German Jews known as Ashkenazi)

Ham – Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia

Cush – Nimrod (“let us rebel”), conqueror of people

10:18 – these ppl settled the area that was to be the promised land.

10:23 – Job was from Uz

10:25 – earth divided?  Physically?  Or maybe the division of people at the confusion of language?

70 nations (populated the earth)

70 Israelites go into Egypt

70 years captivity

70 weeks Daniel

70 members Sanhedrin

70 – God’s way of restoring order (7-completion, 10-God’s law)

 

Gen 11

Tower of Babel – Ziggurat - Signs of the zodiac – they tried to make what God made about them.

astronomy – study of stars

Rom 1:18-19 – men hold truth down to practice unrighteousness.

Psalm 19 – the Heavens declare the glory of God.  Night shows knowledge.  Every culture was supposed to be able to read the heavens.

“The Gospel in the Stars”

Job 9:9 – mentions constellations

Isa 40 – God made and named ALL the stars

Genealogy in Gen 5 spells out the Gospel.  Why can’t the stars?

Isa 47:13 – about Babylon, “see if your horoscope writers can save you”

 

We’re still building towers of defiance against God!

 

Dialects scattered the people.

Rev 17:5 – God finally dealing with the Babylon System aka Defiance against God.

Rom 1:21 – the knowledge of God is built into man.  Man must reject God purposely.

When man refuses to submit, he becomes darkened.

You have to change the truth to not believe in God.

 

11:31-32 – Harran is about halfway between Ur and Canaan.  Half obedience=death.

 

Everything is a setup.  It’s to see how we’ll deal with issues.

 

Babel is rebellion against God camouflaged as religion.

 


Shem, Ham, and Japheth

Genesis 10:32 - These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.  

Map of the Descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth
Mount Ararat and Babylon in Ancient Mesopotamia
The Son's of Noah. This map shows the locations of the nations descended from Noah's 3 sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Shem (Asia)
Shem (Heb. "Name") was Noah's oldest son and part of Noah's family of eight who survived the great flood. Shem and his wife were childless before the flood, but after the flood Shem bore a son at 110 years of age. He was father to five sons who became the fathers of the five Semitic nations as shown below. Shem was actually the father of the nations of the ancient Near East including the Israelites and the Jewish religion, and therefore Judaism, Islam, and Christianity sprang from the line of Shem. The Semites were particularly known for their religious zeal.

The Five Nations of Shem:

1. Elam (The Persians) settled northeast of the Persian Gulf.

2. Asshur (The Assyrians) the Biblical name for Assyria, settled between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers.

3. Arphaxad (The Babylonians) settled in Chaldea.

4. Lud (The Lydians) settled in Asia Minor, but some of them sailed across the Mediterranean and settled in northern Africa.

5. Aram (The Syrians) the Biblical name for Syria, located north and east of Israel.

Ham (Africa)
Ham (Heb. "hot" or "Black") was Noah's second oldest son and part of the family of eight who survived the great flood. Ham and his wife bore 4 sons who became the fathers of the nations of Africa. Ham's fourth son Canaan was prophetically cursed because he gazed at his fathers nakedness while he was drunk. This curse would mean later that Canaan would lose his land to the Hebrews and would be subservient to the descendants of Shem. The Hamites were known for their physical endurance.

The Four Nations of Ham:

1. Cush (The Ethiopians) settled in Ethiopia south of Egypt, also early in their history some of them migrated to an area north of the Persian Gulf (Gen. 10:8-10).

2. Mizraim (The Egyptians) the Bible name for Egypt, settled in northeastern Africa.

3. Phut (The Libyans) sometimes translated Libya, settled in northern Africa.

4. Canaan (The Canaanites) settled above Africa east of the Mediterranean (Later was given to the Hebrews).

Japheth (Europe)
Japheth (Heb. "God will Enlarge)") was Noah's third oldest son and part of the family of eight who survived the great flood. Japheth and Shem were both greatly blessed for respecting their father Noah. Noah's blessing on Japheth was far reaching for all of his descendants being the European (Caucasian) nations that were mentioned in Genesis 10. The Japhethites were known for their intellectual activity.

The Seven Nations of Japheth:

I. Gomer (The Cimmerians) settled north of the Black Sea, but afterwards his descendants probably occupied Germany, France, Spain and the British Isles.

2. Magog (The Scythians) lived north of the Caspian Sea.

3. Madai (The Medes) settled south of the Caspian Sea.

4. Javan (The Ionians or Greeks) Javan is the Hebrew name for Greeks, they settled in Greece.

5. Tubal (The Turks) lived south of the Black Sea.

6. Meshech (The Slavs) lived between the Black and Caspian Seas,

7. Tiras (The Etruscans) located west of the Black Sea.

Genesis 10:32 - These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a while, now.   And I would like to share wit
