Q & A

What is the main argument presented in the script regarding the Tower of Babel?

The main argument is that the historical accounts of the Tower of Babel in the Bible align with real-world historical and cultural evidence, suggesting that the Biblical narrative is accurate. This is in contrast to secular views that are influenced by theories like evolution and the Big Bang.

How does the speaker refute the secular timeline and the Big Bang theory?

The speaker refutes the secular timeline and the Big Bang theory by asserting a belief in the Biblical account of creation, stating that an all-powerful God created all things in six days and that the fossil record is better explained by a worldwide flood rather than by millions or billions of years of evolution.

What is the speaker's view on the theory of evolution and its relation to the origin of humans?

The speaker does not believe in the theory of evolution and instead adheres to the Biblical account that all humans are descendants of Noah and, further back, of Adam and Eve. They argue that the Biblical narrative provides a more accurate and authoritative history of human origins.

Why does the speaker believe that the Tower of Babel is a significant event in history?

The speaker believes the Tower of Babel is significant because it represents a moment when humanity attempted to defy God's will, leading to the dispersion of people across the Earth and the confusion of languages. This event, according to the speaker, is supported by historical and cultural evidence that aligns with the Biblical narrative.

How does the speaker connect the descendants of Noah to various modern-day ethnic groups?

The speaker connects the descendants of Noah to modern-day ethnic groups by tracing genealogies mentioned in the Bible, such as Japheth, Shem, and Ham, and their respective offspring. They map these genealogies to regions and cultures around the world, suggesting that these Biblical figures are the ancestors of specific ethnic groups.

What does the speaker suggest about the age of people before and after the events at the Tower of Babel?

The speaker suggests that before the events at the Tower of Babel, people lived much longer lives, with some living over 400 years. After the dispersion, the average lifespan began to decline significantly, with people living around 230 years or less, which they attribute to genetic bottlenecks caused by the flood and the Tower of Babel.

How does the speaker interpret the cultural and historical evidence supporting the Biblical account of the Tower of Babel?

The speaker interprets cultural and historical evidence as supporting the Biblical account by pointing out that many cultures around the world have kept track of their histories, which often match the Biblical narrative. They argue that this consistency indicates the reliability of the Biblical history, including the gospel.

What is the speaker's stance on the relationship between the Biblical narrative and the concept of race?

The speaker asserts that the Biblical narrative refutes the concept of higher and lower races, as all humans are descendants of Adam and Eve, and more recently, Noah. They argue that the idea of distinct races is a myth and that the Bible presents a unified view of humanity.

How does the speaker address the idea that the Earth's population dispersed from Africa according to evolutionary theory?

The speaker addresses this idea by challenging the evolutionary worldview and asserting that, according to the Bible, all people dispersed from the region of Babel after the confusion of languages, not from Africa. They argue that the Biblical account is the higher authority on the matter.

What does the speaker suggest about the linguistic diversity resulting from the Tower of Babel event?

The speaker suggests that the linguistic diversity observed today is a direct result of the confusion of languages that occurred at the Tower of Babel, as described in the Bible. This event led to the dispersion of people and the development of various languages across the Earth.

💡Tower of Babel

The Tower of Babel is a story from the Bible found in Genesis 11, where people united to build a tower to reach heaven, and God confused their language, causing them to scatter across the Earth. In the video, the speaker discusses the Tower of Babel as a historical event that is questioned by secular views but is central to the understanding of human dispersion and linguistic diversity.

💡Secular worldview

A secular worldview is a perspective that excludes the influence of religious or spiritual considerations. The video script critiques the secular worldview for influencing modern interpretations of history, particularly in relation to the origins of humanity and the development of species, which the speaker argues contradicts the biblical account.

💡Big Bang

The Big Bang is a cosmological model that describes the expansion of the universe from an extremely hot and dense initial state. The speaker in the video disputes the Big Bang as an explanation for the origin of the universe, favoring the biblical account of creation in six days.

💡Evolution

Evolution, as discussed in the video, refers to the biological process by which species of organisms change over time. The speaker challenges the evolutionary perspective, particularly the idea that humans evolved from apes in Africa, and instead supports the biblical narrative of creation.

💡Genealogies

Genealogies are records of a family's descent from an ancestor. In the context of the video, the speaker refers to biblical genealogies to trace the lineage of various human populations back to Noah and his sons, providing a framework for understanding the dispersion of people groups after the Tower of Babel.

💡Cultural Ignorance

Cultural ignorance, as mentioned in the video, refers to the disregard or dismissal of historical and cultural accounts, particularly those found in the Bible. The speaker argues that this ignorance leads to a rewritten mythological history that deviates from the true historical accounts as recorded in scriptures.

Transcripts

we're in a culture where people have

ignored the Bible they've ignored most

historical accounts why because they

have a Rewritten mythological history

that they believe and when you actually

look at real history all around the

world cultures kept track of their

history and you know what when you

actually look at it it goes back and

matches what we read in the scriptures

and you know what else is true if the

history in the Bible is true well that

means the gospel which is found in that

same history is also true I've studied

the subject of the tower Babel oh my

goodness probably 10 15 years now you

know we're in a culture that's heavily

influenced by a secular worldview and

that actually affects the way people

look at the Tower of Babel for example

the secular timeline here they have

essentially there was nothing no time or

space something pops into existence from

nothing rapidly explodes or expands

that's called The Big Bang they claimed

this happened about 13 to 15 billion

years ago as The Story Goes you get the

sun and the Stars forming the Earth and

the moon finally forming you get the

first oceans then through random

processes chemicals come together and

form the first life and it evolves

further and further further to where you

get some sort of monkey like creature

then you get some sort of aplike

creature and then you get humans and

modern Apes one of the things that

Charles Darwin himself taught was that

people evolved Out of Africa and the

reason he people he taught people

evolved Out of Africa was because that's

where we find the Apes the great apes

are there that view has really started

to popularize in our culture saying that

people evolved Out of Africa and then

had to go to different parts of the

world all of a sudden the tower Babel

came under attack the account in

scripture where everybody was originally

at this one General place right there at

Babel and they were scattered by God now

all of a sudden that was called into

question because of Darwin's view here

but of course an evolutionary worldview

is errant Big Bang is arant I do not

believe those things I believe scripture

God created all things in six days which

is not a problem for an all powerful God

and uh there was a worldwide flood which

accounts for most of the rock layers

that contain fossils those are not

evidence of millions and billions of

years as people came off of the Ark the

Lord told them to be fruitful multiply

and fill the Earth instead the

descendants of Noah came together and

built a city and Tower and said let's

not be scattered they tried to defy God

God came down confused their language

and Scattered them abroad to the face

all over the Earth you see there's no

greater Authority than God in his word

Hebrews 6:13 says when God made a

promise to Abraham because he could

swear by no one greater he swore by

himself so when it comes down to did

people evolve Out of Africa and come

from there or did they come from Noah

and at the region there at bab and go to

different parts of the world there's no

question the word of God is a higher

authority you know God was there God I

witnessed these things Charles Darwin

did not now what's interesting if we

actually think about this in our culture

too there's another uh sideline debate

to this in an evolutionary worldview

you're evolving from some lower creature

into Mankind and in that particular view

you have higher and lower races and

Darwin's view was that there was about 4

to five races and he would talk about

some of those races he actually went so

far as to say the Caucasians should

exterminate the other races in his book

The Descent of Man that doesn't mean

that evolution is a cause of racism

racism was around before that but fuel

was added to the fire as a result of an

evolutionary worldview but see when we

start with scripture no no no we're

we're all One race it's called the human

race we all go back to Adam and Eve we

all go back actually to Noah as well you

know at the tower of ababel the Bible

gives us a lot more information than you

might think in Genesis chap 10 it gives

you a breakdown you know those

genealogies that is a a set of these

different genealogies the three sons of

Noah shim ham and japheth and then we

see their descendants and their

descendants and and how it was split

apart as a result of what happened in

Genesis 11 1-9 now I like to look at it

graphically and that's what I've got

shown up here at the very top in red if

you can see as long as you're not color

blind you can see that Noah is in red

there at the top then the next line you

have japa shim and ham and then you can

see further breakdowns now sometimes we

look at those names we just skip right

over those names you know years of

studying the tower Babel I look at these

names and I I get excited about it

because I look at them and I'm like okay

certain people groups came out of these

different people or that one right there

is my ancestor and so forth it really is

exciting and you might think really you

know what your ancestor actually a lot

of people can figure it out generically

you know jath has seen as the father of

most of the European nations some of the

north Asian Nations a little bit of the

Middle Eastern Nations shim is a lot of

the Middle Eastern and the Far Eastern

Nations like India for example is also

descendants of shim ham has a lot of

people as far as China as well as Africa

some down the melee Peninsula uh

extending down into uh melanesia some of

those kinds of places but I actually

wrote an article on our website called

how many human Generations are there

from Adam until today and what I'm doing

I'm specific specifically looking at my

own lineage one of my lineages on my

mother's side actually goes all the way

back and ties in to the same lineage as

the Queen of England what's interesting

about the Queen of England is she has a

lineage that goes all the way back to

Noah and all the way back to Adam so as

soon as I got tied into that I could

actually count it up and uh in that

particular lineage Adam would be my 84th

great-grandfather Noah would be my 74th

great-grandfather that actually puts me

in the 87th generation you know to get

to great-grandfather level there I

actually tallied this up I'm using the

common usage method the consanguinity

method which is actually a lot lot

easier when you're looking at stuff

really Broad and long long range but

Queen Elizabeth would be my 42 cousin uh

by this lineage look at this Jesus would

be my 139th cousin what a way to witness

to people right let me tell you about my

cousin so it really is neat you know

Christ stepped into history to become

our relative we need to remember that

but let's jump back to scripture here

Genesis 11:4 and they said come let us

build ourselves a city and a tower whose

top is in the heavens let us make a name

for ourselves L we be scattered over the

face of the whole earth so this was the

people trying to defy God and of course

the God God wasn't God wasn't going to

let him get away with this so he came

down he confuse their language I've had

people say well where is this you know

where where is Babel where where did all

this take place it would be in modern

day Iraq is where this occurred uh in

the Bible it's Eric Eric is one of the

names listed there in Genesis chapter 10

one of the early cities that's where the

name Iraq actually comes from it would

have been right in this area and that's

where people were then scattered to go

around to different parts of the world

now I want you to notice this Arrow from

Babel going down to Africa see in the

secular worldview what they do they have

that Arrow actually going from Africa

right up to about where where everything

splits apart up there if you just

reverse their Arrow they'd have it about

right but I've had people say Well when

did all this occur well big picture it's

obviously After the flood because it's

Noah's descendants but it was before the

call of Abraham okay so Abraham was not

at the tower Bible you know his people

actually came well after the tower Bible

now Abraham is a descendant of the

caldes the caldan were a Hebrew group

the E Group the EO group that's where

that comes from Hebrew comes from ever

Archbishop James Usher put the timeline

at 2242 BC he haded about 106 years

after the flood uh which would have been

2348 BC uh just to give you an idea in

his particular lineage I've seen a

number of chronologists put it as early

as when payle was born 101 as high as

130 years uh renowned archaeologist Dr

Clifford Wilson died just a few years

ago but uh he believed that this

particular area there in the ancient

ruins of Babylon might have actually

been the original tower Babel Foundation

this large pool he says at modern

Babylon is over the ruins of an early

structure that was possibly the original

Tower of Babel here's a reconstruction

of this etminan Tower uh you can see how

you can go up the stairs and you can

kind of go around and as it goes up

you've got the stairs as you go on

around it soort of looked something like

this and if you use Google Earth you can

actually look down on it it and here is

that site in the archaeological remains

of ancient Babylon and you can see how

it was definitely a square and you can

see where that initial stepway uh was

here let me back up so you can kind of

see that you know we're looking straight

onto that stepway as you go up initially

you can kind of see that down here on

the lower side of it what's interesting

too is the Tower of Babel itself that

Hebrew word for Tower is the Hebrew word

migdal which means Tower of course but

it also means figuratively a pyramidal

bed of flowers so it has a a connotation

uh of of being pyramidal in its shape

which is interesting a lot of people as

they left the Tower of bab went to

different parts of the world you know

particularly they they'd settle closer

and then they'd move out farther and

move out farther a lot of these cultures

initially started to build some of these

towers very similar to what we find at

the Tower of Babel just in Mesopotamia

alone there's over 30 different

ziggurats and some of them have some

interesting names the tower to Heaven

and Earth and that sort of thing which

gives you an idea they were trying to

build it up high definitely much higher

than everything else in the area but not

up into the that's a misconception

they're trying to build something up

into the stratosphere here I'm going to

look at some of the people groups so I'm

going to jump into some of these where

did the Irish and the Scots come from

now I put them together for a reason

because some of these guys actually

interchanged some of their positions and

intermixed and so forth Magog it is his

descendants that actually went into

Ireland in fact we have three ancient

lineages of the Irish going back to

Magog just to give you an idea here's

one of them uh that's uh found in James

Anderson's Royal genealogies book from

the early 1730s you go Noah japheth

Magog baath fenua farsa new and then

that's when you go down to the line to

Milo who goes right in there if you look

at the Scots uh the Scots have one here

that go down through uh Magog as well

down to Bath farsy Phineas and then

refia and he was known as the Scott and

that might well be where one of the

names actually came from the Scots in

that particular instance so we do see

some of these connections there's quite

a bit of history on this if you want to

look more of it up well let's look at

the Germans the English and the

Scandinavians I mean what are the odds

they would all come together because

they all have the same basic descendants

if you actually look at it specifically

the the English come out of the angle

tribes and the Saxon tribes and some of

the J tribes which were some of the

Germanic tribes a lot of the

Scandinavians actually came out of the

Germans as well just to give you a taste

now the old name for Germany and the old

founder of the German people was ashz

Noah jath Gomer and then ashz we

actually have uh ancient lineage that

goes through ashz down through Manis all

the way down to wolfheim uh sck sticker

of a United Germany uh ashz actually

originally settled there just south of

the Black Sea and then he went to the

northern part of the Black Sea the old

black Sea's name used to be the ashkan

sea named for ashz from there he moved

up to Central Europe with 20 of his sons

one of them was danus which is where the

Danes came from one of his sons was

Sarma which is where the sarmatians came

from and so forth and so a lot of the

people in Central and Northern Europe

actually were descendants of ashz if you

actually look at the age decline of

people from the time of Noah moving

forward the ages really start to decline

for example Noah lived 350 Years After

the flood and all total lived about 950

years his son shim lived about 600 years

about 500 of those years were After the

flood and then you see about three

generations in there in shim's line

where they were living uh over 400 years

then after the events at the tower Babel

they were living about 230 years or so

and then they really start to decline

and uh you know if you look Abraham

lived 175 years you go down Moses lived

120 years but we see that decline as it

starts to go down uh I've had people say

well you know it was after the flood

maybe it was because of meting as soon

as people started to eat meat maybe that

triggered it because it wasn't until

after the flood people were first

allowed to eat meat but you know what

there's been people who' have been

vegetarians their whole lives they don't

live 900 years old uh some people

thought uh maybe it was increased oxygen

or environmental changes things like

that you know people studied that for

quite some time there's a little bit of

benefit but overall it's actually more

detrimental when you start to add

increased oxygen you add free radicals

that causes bigger problems too that's

why we take antioxidants for example

some people think maybe there were some

anatomical issues some mutations things

like that the biggest thing is probably

genetic bottlenecks at the flood and at

the tower of ble so that's when we start

to see the big shifts of the decrease in

age there may be other factors involved

if if you just look after shim there was

three generations uh that on average

lived about 445 years after Babel

specifically you have three generations

where people living on average about 236

years and then boom it really starts to

drop off significantly after that hey

where did the French Portuguese and

Kelts come from huh it's convenient that

those are all put together too you know

it's almost like I knew the answer to

this question well let's look at this uh

the French the old name for the French

were the GS or the GS the Kelts so the

Kelts actually dominated certain parts

of Europe Portugal Port of Gaul you can

see the connection in there they're Gish

people uh even the Welsh were Gish

people a lot of the Kelts that were in

Britany and you know the British Isles

and some of those areas they intermixed

with some of the Irish and the Scots up

in those areas some of them actually uh

went down and ended up in galatia

they're more kind of in Eastern Europe

and then as far down as down in Turkey

there was an area known as galatia as

well where did the Canaanites and the

Chinese come from so you have the

Israelites were given the land of Canaan

because of their sin and that included

the the hivites and the uh girgashites

the amorites Hittites jebusites

jebusites is where Jerusalem is but the

sinites think of the Sinai Peninsula

Wilderness of sin Mount Si uh that that

particular area there a lot of those

sinites actually moved out and moved

away and where did they go to they

actually went to what we call the land

of Cam that's what it's mentioned as in

the Bible where is the land of Cam it's

actually the land of the sinites the

land of what we call China today manasse

and Israel will have it that the Chinese

are intended China is indeed called by T

the country of the sinites where did the

Greeks and the Japanese come from boy I

threw the Japanese in there almost like

like it was an afterthought here the

Greeks are pretty well known we know

where the Greeks came from they came

from Javin whenever you see Greeks in

the Old Testament the Hebrew behind that

is Javin want to know his grandsons here

Javin so Javin and his descendants you

know we we see reflection of them all

over throughout uh areas around the

Mediterranean Sea of course Greece

Macedonia uh certain places of asiia

minor a lot of those were descendants of

Javin I mentioned tarish earlier in

Spain that was a descendants of Javin

that went out there some of them went

all over the place some of them went as

far as Japan that was a Trading Outlet

for them and people had recognized that

of course the sinites came in and

dominated much of these areas as well so

you got to think there's a lot of other

people groups in there but we at least

have that particular lineage traced uh

in there as well where did the Egyptians

come from this is also a very well-known

one the Egyptians are mentioned quite a

bit in scripture Genesis 1210 for

example now there was a famine in the

land so Abram went down to Egypt the

Hebrew behind that is mitz that's how

that's pronounced even though it looks

like mream it's mitam and mitam uh is

one of Noah's grandsons and so that's

actually where the name minis comes from

uh some of the early Emperors of Egypt

for example but mitam came down here and

settled in what we call Egypt today uh

even the Philistines are descendants of

mitam as well uh so are the luum lios

some of the people in Libya uh ended up

being descendants of mitam as well what

about the Africans so a lot of times

people just want to lump all the

Africans together but they're really not

I mean if we just look at Egypt for

example they are a distinct people group

if you look at uh the Moors for example

and other parts of North Africa

northwest Africa specifically uh the

Moors are descendants of put put

originally settled in Libya and then

moved farther west a lot of places in

West Africa our descendants of put uh

Kush uh is that that's actually the the

the name for e ethopia a lot of

Ethiopians will still call themselves

kushites today so they came down here

and settled just below where mium was at

they actually wared with mium that is

the Egyptians for a while but a lot of

the lower part of Africa was actually uh

uh settled by Kush as well right of the

Russians come from a lot of the Russian

groups came out of two primary groups

you have Magog and mesek Magog moves up

here between the black and Caspian Sea a

lot of the cian groups came out of them

and of course that's where the Irish and

the Scots came from they came out of

Magog as well some of them migrating

over to where Spain was and then moving

on up so if you move over to mesek mesek

goes up they were the north Russians up

farther uh their language family would

include a lot of the The Finnish groups

the Baltic states Estonia laia Lithuania

some of those areas uh even uh some

people in Hungary share that similar

language family which is quite a unique

language family but let's just step back

now and look at a big picture at Asia

Africa and then Australia as people

start to migrate down there so you can

see in Africa you got put you got lower

Kush you've got jock and all across

India there uh the mes and the Persians

came out of media and some of those

areas going all the way down into uh

India as well tarma Magog tubal and

mesek along the top continue to migrate

out in those areas you see the Sinai

dominate much of East Asia certain

people came out of Gomer and Javin there

in Japan now if you look though I want

you to follow this line you see Kush

right in the the the very middle of some

of this Kush of siba kush of siba goes

right down the melee Peninsula Kush is

uh where the Ethiopians came from in

Africa but that's also where the Hindu

Kush came from that's actually where the

tribe of CA uh siba in uh the melee

Peninsula that area came from as well

now notice they continued on down and

there's actually genetic ties with the

Australian Aborigines to the descendants

of siba there in the melee Peninsula and

they're also connected genetically to

some of the people in Kush in Africa and

that kind of surprised people people but

it actually makes sense from a

historical perspective what's the point

ancient history and geography actually

confirm Biblical history over and over

and over again I was just giving you a

taste of what we found out there and and

and here's why this is important we're

in a culture where people have ignored

the Bible they've ignored the history in

the Bible they've now I'm I'm going to

this is very bold they've ignored most

historical accounts historical accounts

from all over the world they've ignored

most of them why because they have a

Rewritten mythological history that they

believe that brand new history Rewritten

by people like Charles Darwin that we

evolved Out of Africa has been taken

over and has been treated as though it's

real history but it's nothing but a myth

and when you actually look at real

history all around the world cultures

kept track of their history and you know

what when you actually look at it it

goes back and matches what we read in

the scriptures and you know what's else

is true if the history in the Bible's

true well that means the gospel which is

found in that same history is also true

you see I don't want us to miss Christ

in all this yeah I can talk about the

Tower of Babel I can talk about people

groups I can talk about the history I

can talk about age declines I can talk

about those things for hours and hours

and hours but let's not miss Christ in

this when you look at the account

Genesis 11:7 let us go down and confuse

their language that's a reflection of

the language we see in Genesis 1 126 let

us make man in our own image you see the

plurality of God and what I mean by the

plurality of God it's singular and yet

plural I mean there's something

fascinating about that that's a

reflection of the Triune God that's

seeing Christ right there intimately

evolved we see it in Isaiah as well even

that word for Lord I am A variation the

name Jehovah that's where this actually

comes from I am who I am it's a

variation of it in Exodus uh 3:14 this

was a name revealed to Moses in John

8:58 Jesus uses that before Abraham was

I am he said you see a reflection of

Christ right there that word Lord is

Jehovah A variation of I am notice the

mild judgment here which shows the grace

of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ not

too long before the events at the tower

Bible there was a very violent flood to

judge a very violent group of people and

here we have people already starting to

defy God disobey him and the Lord

confused their language but what's

fascinating is even though we saw those

languages confused as a result of Jesus

Christ his death burial and Resurrection

he gave the gift of the Holy Spirit

where at Pentecost we saw the languages

come back together it gave us a taste of

what heaven's going to be like
