Studies in Genesis (No. 8)

Teaching at the Word of Life Florida Conference Center in Hudson, Fla., Dr. John Whitcomb explains the results of the events that occurred at the Tower of Babel. He takes us to the table of nations in Genesis 10, showing how God moved people from their post-flood settlement in Mesopotamia to spread into 70 national groups. Dr. Whitcomb details why chapter 10 of Genesis must actually follow chapter 11, and explores the division of the world according to the development of languages and the resulting distinctions of the so-called racial types. Furthermore, he shows how God actually set in place a "reverse Babel program" on the Day of Pentecost. Our teacher also includes some fascinating tidbits from his own biography in this thoughtful and informative lesson. We hope you enjoy it.
