In the Beginning … Session 23 — The Tower of Babel

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.

[Genesis 11:8-9]

Babel — The gate of the gods.

What was the Tower of Babel? Why did Nimrod build it?

Was it an ancient skyscraper?

Was it a rocket launcher?

Or perhaps we have looked at the tower of Babel all wrong.

It is more likely that the tower of Babel was an ancient ziggurat and pagan temple complex that was specifically designed to open a portal to the other side. Babel was a gateway for the gods, summoning the dark powers of heaven and opening a dimensional door into the spirit realm.

When we consider what the modern-day mediums are doing with the likes of the massive hadron collider at CERN, it is apparent that one of their goals is to once again open a door to the other side and summoning powers to come upon the earth.

In the Beginning … Session 22 — The Table of Nations

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

[Genesis 10:32]

The race baiters of our day would have us to believe that systemic racism is alive and well in America, and anyone who dares to stand against the godless agendas of our day are automatically labeled as racists. Not only is history being rewritten to stoke the fires of racism in our culture, but an entire generation is being taught to judge others not by the content of their character but by the color of their skin.

If only this generation would take the time to read the Bible, it would become abundantly clear that the idea of inferior and superior races is not a Biblical concept. Quite the contrary, the Bible that there are not multiple races but only one race and one blood — the human race. We all are sons of Adam and because we all come from one man, there exists a true brotherhood of man created by God as His image bearers.

The Bible specifically speaks of the divisions of the earth in terms of nations, tribes, and languages. The Bible also reveals that every territory and nation on earth has been ruled and oppressed by fallen gods.

Not only did Jesus come to save us as a representative of mankind — the Son of Man — but also He came on a cosmic mission as the Son of God to redeem us from the bondage of these fallen gods once and for all.

In the Beginning … Session 21 — The Curse of Canaan

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25he said,“Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

[Genesis 9:24-25]

The Biblical authors were not in the habit of embellishing the truth and falsely portraying the heroes of the faith in unrealistic light. There are many negative examples that we can learn from in Scripture that remind us that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.

Only One has ever perfectly lived before God, and He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Whether Noah or anyone else, we all need Jesus.

Furthermore, the curse of Canaan carries some mystery and innuendo, which means that there is something more to it than meets the eye.

Why was Noah so angry with Ham, and why did he curse Ham’s son, Canaan, instead?

In the Beginning … Session 20 — Reclaiming the Rainbow

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

[Romans 1:24-27]

In the aftermath of the great cataclysm of the global flood, the Creator God made a universal covenant with Noah and subsequently with all mankind. Never again would He destroy all flesh from the face of the earth, and never again would He bring universal judgment by means of water.

The sign of God’s covenant … the rainbow.

God alone gets to decide what the rainbow is and more importantly what it means.

The rainbow is sign of God’s justice and judgment of sin, while at the same time it is a sign of God’s mercy and long suffering with sinners, not wishing that any should perish.

In a direct affront to God, the LGBTQ+ advocates and apologists have hijacked the symbol of the rainbow and redefined it to represent every form of sexual perversion and sin. Sadly, we have an entire generation that now marches under the banner of the rainbow believing that it stands for sexual liberation in celebration of all forms of sexual expression.

It is no accident that the leaders of the LGBTQ+ community chose the rainbow as their universal symbol. They knew exactly what they were doing — collectively spitting and laughing in the face of a holy God.

I am calling all people of faith to stand with me and reclaim the rainbow in this perverse and wicked generation.

And the only way we will succeed is through another symbol — the greatest symbol of God’s mercy and justice the world has ever seen.

We reclaim the rainbow through the cross of Jesus Christ, who was willing to give His life in the place of sinners that He might bring us to God and save us from the coming judgment.

To learn more about how followers of Christ can reclaim the rainbow through the gospel of Christ, check out Session 20 in my Genesis Study below.

In the Beginning … Session 19 — A Brave New World

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done. 22As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”

[Genesis 8:21-22]

Climate change is all the rave these days, yet the modern-day environmentalists peddle a false narrative about global warming, carbon footprints, and going green to save the planet.

Although the neopagans grossly exaggerate an impending environmental apocalypse and have successfully propagated a false gospel nature worship to an entire generation, the reality remains.

There has always been climate change and always will be. For the Bible tells me so. God informed us about climate change thousands of years before the foolish trends of today.

And as far as cataclysmic, apocalyptic disasters, God told us about those as well. Yet instead of the myth of man-made global warming, God will surely come to judge the earth as an all-consuming fire to melt the elements as they burn with fervent heat.

When Noah and his surviving family stepped off the ark, they stepped into a brave new world suffering from legitimate climate change. The aftereffects of the cataclysmic flood would have caused extreme shifts in weather patterns, magnetic fields, atmospheric insulation, acid rain, and the like, eventually causing rapid freezing and casting the planet into an ice age.

In the Beginning … Session 18 — Dinosaurs

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

“Behold, Behemoth,
which I made as I made you;
he eats grass like an ox.
16Behold, his strength in his loins,
and his power in the muscles of his belly.
17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like bars of iron. 19He is the first of the works of God;
let him who made him bring near his sword!“

[Job 40:15-19]

Since the term “dinosaur” was coined in the mid 19th century, man and child alike have been fascinated with these massive, terrible lizards in the fossil record.

Naturalistic evolutionists have used the discovery of dinosaur fossils to propagate their fanciful fairytales of prehistoric ages hundreds of millions of years before man supposedly “evolved” on the scene. Evolutionary apologists have successfully promoted their unscientific Jurassic fantasies in everything from the pages of children’s books to the silver screen of Hollywood blockbuster films.

The influence of the so-called “scientific” community quickly infiltrated the church, where uneducated pastors and capricious theologians began to question the validity of the Scriptures, compromise the clear teaching of God’s word, and embrace the evolutionary models of millions of years. These futile attempts to harmonize Genesis with Darwinism proved fatal to generations of impressionable Christians who now had cause to be skeptical of the truth of the Biblical account of creation.

As a result, the foundation of redemptive history has been destroyed and countless millions have departed the faith altogether, finding no sufficient scientific answers to the evolutionary paradigm that now challenges the authority of Scripture.

So where do dinosaurs fit into the Bible?

Did man live alongside dinosaurs in the recent past?

What scientific evidence has emerged in the fossil record that radically has challenged the narrative that dinosaurs lived on the earth millions of years ago?

In the Beginning … Session 17 — The Flood

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

[2 Peter 3:5-7]

Is there geographical evidence in the earth of a world-wide flood?

Can we trust the Biblical account of Noah’s flood to be the true historical record of this catastrophic event?

Why is the validity of Noah’s flood day under attack and facing such scrutiny in our “modern” culture?

In the Beginning … Session 16 — The Ark

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 

[1 Peter 3:18-20]

The so-called conventional wisdom of our progressive culture scoffs at the notion of Noah’s ark.

After all, how absurd to believe that Noah rounded up millions of species of animals and loaded them on a little toy boat to survive a global flood.

Laughable, they say.

Even many Christians have begun to doubt the historical account of Noah’s ark by acquiescing to the authority of the “scientific” community.

Maybe the ark and the flood story was merely symbolic or metaphorical of a spiritual lesson. Maybe the flood was localized and only affected the small indigenous population of Noah’s ancient community.

All of these objections and attacks on the Biblical narrative, however, can easily be answered historically and scientifically. With just a little common sense and logic, the perceived obstacles to Noah’s ark are erased and the Biblical account rings true.

In the Beginning … Session 15 — Noah

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 5and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly…

[2 Peter 2:4-5]

The pre-flood world was much stranger than any of us could possibly imagine. Rebellious angels came down to the earth and committed forbidden sins, introducing all kinds of evil to mankind. Giant genetic hybrids roamed and ruled the earth, devouring the sons of Adam. All flesh had been corrupted or killed. Time was running out to save the human race and preserve the promised seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15).

Enter Noah.

By the time Noah and his family finished building the ark, they were almost certainly the last uncorrupted human family alive on the earth. The fate and future of the human race would be left up to eight souls.

God showed Noah grace in his generation and gave him an extraordinary assignment — the salvation of humanity — and we are here today because of Noah’s faithful obedience.

In the Beginning … Session 14 — The Giants of Genesis 6

Marcus Walker Van EveryLeave a comment

The Nephilim (giants) were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

[Genesis 6:4]

Who are the Nephilim?

Did giant hybrid beings actually walk the earth at one time?

How does the Bible account for the origin and identity of these giants?

How do the giants of Genesis play a central role in the violence and evil in the world before the flood of Noah?
