https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 74 CONNECTING THE DOTS OF SCRIPTURE – PART 2 Genesis through Revelation Okay, once again it is good to see everybody back. For those of you out in television, when I say to have them back—they go out and have a coffee break. It takes a little bit to get this many people served and back in here. We always like to make it known, if you’d like to come in sometime and visit us for an afternoon of taping, that we start about 12:30 p.m., and the cameras roll at 1 p.m. We’re usually out about 4:15 - 4:30 p.m. It’s just a nice afternoon. We’ve got a lot of visitors today. In fact, more than I can take time to point out, but we always like to welcome out-of-state folks. Okay, we’re going to keep right on going where we left off in Genesis. We’re just going to make a big picture. That is the way a gentleman put it one time when I was in a class in Florida. He said, “Les, I love the way you fill in the big picture.” Well, that’s the first time I’d ever heard it put that way, but that’s so true. You know, people will call with questions, and I’ll say, “Well, sometimes, you know, God gives us enough credit that we can fill in some of these things, as long as you do it scripturally, and just fill in the big picture.” The other one we like to use is connecting the dots. It all fits if you just compare Scripture with Scripture. So, we’re going to keep going on. After the flood the population starts expanding once again. God has instructed Noah and his three sons and their families to replenish or to fill up the earth, which meant that they were to scatter. Not stay in one place. But, man is always rebellious. Isn’t it amazing? Man never does what God wants him to do. Let’s jump in at chapter 11 verse 1. Genesis 11:1-4b “And the whole earth was of one language, (Now remember, it isn’t the whole world as we know it, but for them.) and of one speech. 2. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime for mortar. 4. And they (the population in general) said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven;…” In other words, it’s going to be a place of worship. Not that they thought they could build a tower to the Heaven of the heavens, but it’d be a place of worship where they could make contact with what they conceived of as God. Genesis 11:4b “…and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered…” Now, do you see the rebellion? In casual reading you miss that. But God said, “Scatter and replenish the earth.” Man says what? We’re not going to. We’re going to stay right here lest we be scattered. All right, then verse 5: Genesis 11:5-6 “And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Now, don’t just read that casually. On what basis could God say something like that? That whatever they imagined they could do it. Why? They’re not that far from the pre-flood civilization, where you’ve heard me say it once, and I know a lot of people doubt me, but I think they had a technology almost equal to our own just before the flood. Because remember, they started out with a super brain at creation. There was nothing that had deteriorated. And they lived 900 years to use all that brainpower. So when I see evidence that at some time in the ancient past there is evidence of computers and internal combustion engines and maps like you can’t believe, then I have to say, yes, I believe that. I think it was before the flood when they had tremendous technology. All right, so this just makes sense. These are only 200 years removed, so enough of that technology would have been made available and God said it – there’s just nothing to restrain them that they can’t do,unless He does something drastic, which was to confuse the languages. Now stop and think! What is one of the major reasons that we have had such an explosion of technology in the last 50 years? Well, the whole world has almost again become one language. Because in the scientific world, whether it’s Japan or Europe or America, what is the basic language of science? English. So, we’re just about back full circle. Like here, when they had the advantage of one language, there was almost nothing to stop their ability to invent and so forth. And so the Lord said, #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
