Genesis chapters 10 & 11

This past Sunday, Steve unpacked Genesis 10–11, focusing on Babel and its lasting ripple effects.At Babel, humanity united in prideful rebellion—building a tower to make a name for themselves and defy God’s command to fill the earth. God confused their language and scattered them, dividing one people into 70 nations (Genesis 10’s Table of Nations).The concept that those nations were assigned to spiritual beings from God’s divine council (Deut. 32:8), many of whom later rebelled and corrupted their oversight (Psalm 82).Babel grew into Babylon—the enduring symbol of human autonomy, pride, and godless world systems that oppose God, running from Genesis to Revelation’s final fall.Yet God’s redemptive plan endures: He claims His own portion and ultimately triumphs through Jesus.
