Genesis 11:1-32
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
2
And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
ESVSlide5
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.”
5
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. Slide6
6 And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. .
7
Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” Slide7
8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
9
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused
the
language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.Slide8
10 These are the generations of Shem. When Shem was 100 years old, he fathered
Arpachshad
two years after the flood.
11
And Shem lived after he fathered
Arpachshad
500 years and had other sons and daughters.
12 When
Arpachshad
had lived 35 years, he fathered
Shelah
.
13
And
Arpachshad
lived after he fathered
Shelah
403 years and had other sons and daughters.Slide9
14 When Shelah
had lived 30 years, he fathered
Eber
.
15
And
Shelah
lived after he fathered Eber 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
16
When
Eber
had lived 34 years, he fathered
Peleg
.
17
And
Eber
lived after he fathered
Peleg
430 years and had other sons and daughters.Slide10
18 When Peleg
had lived 30 years, he fathered
Reu
.
19
And
Peleg
lived after he fathered Reu 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
20
When
Reu
had lived 32 years, he fathered
Serug
.
21
And
Reu
lived after he fathered
Serug
207 years and had other sons and daughters.Slide11
22 When Serug
had lived 30 years, he fathered
Nahor
.
23
And
Serug
lived after he fathered Nahor 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
24
When
Nahor
had lived 29 years, he fathered
Terah
.
25
And
Nahor
lived after he fathered
Terah
119 years and had other sons and daughters.Slide12
26 When Terah
had lived 70 years, he fathered Abram,
Nahor
, and Haran.Slide13
27 Now these are the generations of
Terah
. Terah
fathered Abram,
Nahor
, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot.
28
Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans.Slide14
29 And Abram and Nahor
took wives. The name of Abram’s wife was
Sarai
, and the name of
Nahor’s
wife,
Milcah
, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah
.
30
Now
Sarai
was barren; she had no child.Slide15
31 Terah
took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and
Sarai
his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there.
32
The days of
Terah
were 205 years, and Terah
died in Haran.Slide16
Isaiah 28:1-16Ah, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!Slide17
Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong;like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,
like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters,
he casts down to the earth with his hand.Slide18
The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim
will be trodden underfoot;
4
and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer:
when someone sees it, he swallows it
as soon as it is in his hand.Slide19
In that day the LORD of hosts will be a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,
6
and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.Slide20
These also reel with wineand stagger with strong drink;
the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink,
they are swallowed by
wine
,
they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision
,they stumble in giving judgment.Slide21
For all tables are full of filthy vomit,with no space left.Slide22
“To whom will he teach knowledge,and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.”Slide23
For by people of strange lipsand with a foreign tongue
the LORD will speak to this people,
12
to whom he has said,
“This is rest;
give rest to the weary;
and this is repose”;
yet they would not hear.Slide24
And the word of the LORD will be to themprecept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little,
that they may go, and fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.Slide25
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers,who rule this people in Jerusalem!
15
Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
and with
Sheol
we have an agreement,
when the overwhelming whip passes through
it will not come to us,Slide26
for we have made lies our refuge,and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;
therefore thus says the Lord GOD,
“Behold, I am the one who has laid
as
a foundation in Zion,
a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’Slide27
Romans 111 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,
a
member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2
God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? Slide28
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.”
4
But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5
So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.Slide29
6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
7
What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, Slide30
8 as it is written,“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”Slide31
And David says,“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10
let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and bend their backs forever.”Slide32
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.
12
Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion
mean
!Slide33
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
14
in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.
15
For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
16
If the dough offered as
firstfruits
is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.Slide34
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root
of
the olive tree,
18
do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.Slide35
19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
20
That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear.
21
For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.Slide36
22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
23
And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. Slide37
24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.Slide38
25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers:
[fn4]
a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
26
And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
“The Deliverer will come from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27
“and this will be my covenant with
them when
I take away their sins.”Slide39
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.
29
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30
For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,Slide40
31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now
receive
mercy.
32
For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.
33
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!Slide41
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?”
35
“Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”
36
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.Slide42
And in conclusion:
