Tonight in our Bible discussion we looked at what happened after the flood (and the changes that have resulted since then, including changes in diet, longevity, God’s promises of seasons and day and night) and the Tower of Babel (Gen 8-11).
There are many promises from God in these chapters (including the promise never to flood the earth again and the sign of the rainbow – or ‘warrior bow’, signifying the warrior hanging a banner to declare the end of the war.) These speak directly into our world today, reminding us that God is in control, no matter what climate warriors may declare.
The Tower of Babel shows us the introduction of other languages into the world and the confusion this caused (and still does!) These first chapters in Genesis tell us of the Fall, the flood and the Tower of Babel, all events which answer many questions that are still important today.
