 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

 8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
Jubilees 10 records it as follows…
22 - And the Lord our God said unto us: Behold, they are one people, and (this) they begin to do, and now nothing …

Memo to Earth: Do not boast.

Why do I say this? Because I have seen your obedience to God, and then watched you take the credit, as if God doesn’t exist.
Genesis 1:24
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.”
And you did in fact take what life was already there, and produce the livestock and cattle we have from them. You produced them according to their kinds, yet you take credit for what you have done. But you err, for the passage goes on…
And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according …

Exodus 9:31-32
The flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. The wheat and spelt, however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.
Have you ever been led by God, just to see Him destroy something you had nurtured? Take comfort in this verse. Sometimes, in the midst of your faith, God destroys what you have nurtured, so that He can bring about a new creation of His own.

This morning, my devotional book cited Exdous 3:1-15. It is the account of Moses and the burning bush. What really caught my attention however was God’s answer when Moses asked what to say when people ask him God’s name…
 14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

 15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’

   “This is my name forever,
   the name you shall call me
   from generation to generation.
Though a Christian, note that I …

Devotional Verse: Genesis 28:16 - When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” - Where were you in the presence of the LORD, but did not realize it?

Noah > Shem > Aram > Hul
Noah > Shem > Aram > Gether

Hul and Gether are mentioned only in Genesis 10:23 and 1 Chronicles 1:17. Neither Wikipedia nor BibleAtlas.org say anything significant of them, though Gether is part of Arabic tradition.

 4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.
 6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man,
       by man shall his blood be shed;
       for in the image of God
       has God made man.

 7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
What a curious passage.  Not because it’s inconsistent with Christianity or Judaism or something I already believe however. It …

 5 The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.” 
Genesis 6:5-7 is an interesting passage.  Christians use it to teach how much God hates sin; skeptics use it to teach how …

Having spent over a year now blogging on righteousness, I came upon an interesting sight the other day, and it was just as I was starting 2 Peter 3… the very last chapter in the bible containing the word “righteousness”.  The sight was a group of Christians witnessing on a street corner with signs telling people to repent.  I was struck to core by the one that read:

Romans 3:10
There is no one righteous
I immediately pulled over.  I wanted to tell this person that this isn’t true, because people can be accounted righteousness through belief and obedience of God.  Something about that sign, I cannot remember what it was, told me that this person was sending the wrong message.  The …

13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
Here it is, the last verse in the bible with the word righteousness in it, and the where the first message in the Bible on righteousness tells us that credits us with righteousness when we believe, the second tells us our obedience is our righteousness, the last verse tells us where that we can only have true righteousness when we are in Heaven.

This explains a lot. It helps explain why Genesis 15:6 says that we can only be accounted righteousness… because the home of righteousness is not of this world.

It explains why Deuteronomy 6:25 says our obedience is our …

 3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
To my Young Earth Creationist friends, verse 5 is clear evidence that the earth is young.  Why?  Because Evolutionists do not believe that the earth was formed out of water and by water.  On the other hand, Genesis 1:2 says this about …
