We encourage you to listen to Genesis 6 and Divine Council episodes before listening to our discussion on Division of the Nations.

In part one of two of our discussion on the Division of the Nations we trace the origins of Babel, which was the epicenter of Nimrod’s kingdom and where the tower was built in an attempt to reach heaven. We give consideration to the state of the world in Noah’s day prior to the flood, connect the dots of lineage so as to understand the context of ancient Babylon, and in closing out part one we point to Deuteronomy 32, explaining its significance within the Biblical worldview.
