Couldn't help but put that as the title, gotta love the chronological Bible. Anyway had a snow day yesterday and was never inside and when I was I crashed so sorry for not posting but I caught up today and will get today's out as soon as I am done with this one.
So we start here with everyone on Earth speaking the same language and they all migrate east to a new land. They then decide to make bricks and use tar as mortar and make a city. They then decide to build a tower to the heavens to "make a name for themselves"
Then it says God came down...notice the difference, He came DOWN. He isn't here with us anymore, He was with Adam and Eve and I'm also convinced He was with Cain and Abel at that point but now the sin has made us separate we can no longer go to God, He comes down to us. (great sermon on the topic http://bit.ly/69XoKU )
So He comes down (I think this He is Jesus wait for why) and sees what the men are doing and says with one language anything they plan will be possible so He says come let US go down and confuse their language. I think the "us" is referring to Him and God going down. So He changes there languages and spreads them over the earth.
After that I'm not going to go into much detail but you get a lot of genealogy that tells you where each tribe and nation comes from and who they descend from.
Nice posts. I'm enjoying your insight and thoughts on the readings.
