The Table of Nations in The Bible | Genesis 8:18 -11:9 | Athens Bible Church

Genesis contains a lot of names.

Most readers quickly skim over them when going through these sections of God's word.

But these genealogies teach us about God's concern for the whole world.

They also speak to the historicity of the accounts since most of the names can be traced to later historical people groups.

Furthermore, some anecdotes found within the lists of names also provide valuable insight.

In this message, Michael Braasch addresses these items and finishes with a discussion of the Tower of Babel.

The people attempted to violate God's command to fill the earth so that they could make a name for themselves.

As the Bible clearly teaches, the only Name worth glorifying is the name of Jesus.
